I once worked for a certain McFryers' restraunt as a grill cook, and had this crazy coworker. You know the type, they make movies about people like this.
Anyway, he once accidentaly dropped a ring or something into the fry vat. Now, a normal human would get the tongs or other implement and fish out the lost item. Not our hero! Without an instant of thought, this guy plunged his bare arm into the boiling vat of oil. Miraculously, he suffered only 1st degree burns. My theory is that the existing grease buildup on his arm must have protected him somehow..
Reminds me of an ex who used to tell me to "get Netscape" when I was having ISP problems. Of course, it's kind of ironic now that Netscape is actually an ISP..
The sectors that grudgingly must have computers but whose profits aren't highly dependent on them are often far better places to work.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. IT work for non-IT companies is teh suck, really! Seriously!

As a child of the 80's I feel the same way to some extent. However, space travel is still a very new technology. To compare it to nautical development, the sail was just developed last week, and as yet we haven't even left the harbor..
Also, last time I checked the GTA games carry a "Mature" rating. Theoretically, this means that stores should not be selling these games to children, just like movie theaterss won't admit minors into R-rated movies. When will politicians realize there are more than a few adults who play video/computer games? Instead of further regulations to dumb down content, how about enforcing the guidelines we already have?
I hope they also banned those "illegal" and notorious P2P applications like FTP, SAMBA, NFS, etc. while they were at it. Let's see a little consistency here!
They've certainly lost any shred of credibility with me. "Open sores" indeed. Imagine the outcry if the OSI or FSF put "Microshit" or something on their front page.
Hmm, interesting. I hadn't heard anything about it for quite awhile and figured the investigation was dead. I like how the CEOs blame the accountants, and the accountants say they were only following orders.
if someone CAN get something for FREE when they are expected by the PRODUCERS to PAY for it and they don't, then yes it's STEALING
Who cares what the PRODUCERS want? Of course they want to SELL their PRODUCT. Or is it a CRIME now to drink from a WATER fountain instead of paying for BOTTLED water?
And Enron executives. Oh that's right, they got off scot free although their crimes destroyed many people's personal finances and seriously affected the US economy. That seems a little more serious than copyright infringement, but I guess those with the gold make the rules..
Solution:: Put your alarm clock on the other side of your room.
Tried it. Now I just get out of bed, hit the snooze, then flop back down for 10 more minutes. Although it is a better location than the bedside table, where I would tend to snooze multiple times or just turn the damn thing off..

Any bets on the necessity to hold the PSP upside down to prevent malfunction? I loved my original Playstation, but it sure was made poorly.
Well said. What is it about the Christian mindset which gives them a victim complex, while they are in fact are the aggressors? The world has suffered enough through their 2000-year reign of terror, and I for one will be glad when they're gone.

A simple way to relieve the stress of computer crashes:
Serenity now!
Comdex isn't dead, it's just pining for the fjords..
What about the excellent Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, etc games by Black Isle? Those were about the last RPGs I really enjoyed..

Obviously, in S. Korea, only old people use MS..
BSD is for people who like their car to get 40 rods to the hogshead..
Yeah, INS can be real bastards if they find you're hiding illegal immigrants..

If Jesus were alive, I can only imagine he would be appalled by what has been done in his name.
