"Dad, will you sign my report card. Oh, don't worry about getting a pen... use mine, hehe" And all future report cards are secured, muahaha! Wish I had this when I was in school!
(c) could get you put on a list of suspected pot growers faster than a subscription to High Times.
Dude, that is sooo pre-9/11! Now it would get you on a list of suspected terrorists. Why? Because, uh... only terrorists would buy something off-the-wall like dry ice!
You mean we actually have to read the emails? Dude, that sucks, it's much easier to just pander to special interest groups and mega-corporations. Those other people just pay our salaries.

I don't doubt that there was some massive flood around 5000 years ago, it's the part about a guy building a boat and putting both genders of every species in it that I have a hard time believing!
Also, the flood most likely was not world-wide but probably covered a huge portion of the middle eastern area, probably due to a massive earthquake. Look at the Caspian Sea and tell me that there's no possibilty that that area was not always under water.
Didn't Best Buy do this once before?

I'm not sure if it was BestBuy or a different chain superstore, but I seem to remember something about a mis-priced computer product making a big stink about a year ago.
If I am correct and it was Best Buy, there's more to this than a simple typo in an ad!
I remember somethign from high school science class about plain old titanium being quite brittle, you can actually crumble titanium ore with your hands. The only thing that makes it twice as strong as steel is making an alloy out of it with some other metal(s). The thing I never found out is: what other metals do you mix it with to make the alloy?
Yeah! Those damn animals have had it good for too long! Think of the space we can save if we harvest humans for food instead of cattle? And humans follow orders! "Get into the truck, hooman!" "ok" "Go into the slaughterhouse, hooman!" "ok" "Hook this electrode up to your balls, hooman!" "ok" BRZZZZAAAPPP!! Instant meat!
there was a spoof insurance company commercial and they had these old people asking if certain things that concerned them were covered and one says, "What about robot attacks? Is that covered?" That was a riot!
Why is it that evey time someone suggests passing (or enforcing!) laws that keep corporations from raping the consumer, some bubba has to scream commie?
You miss the point completely. When big business has free reign, consumer choice is taken away. When consumer choice is taken away, that is communism. Oh, but wait, since someone, somewhere is making buck off it, it must be good for the economy, right? WRONG!

they'll be putting Hollywood out of business, possibly within the next three years
Considering the crap that Hollywood thinks is entertainment these days, I shall not shed a tear.
a private company is enforcing federal law? Does anyone else have as big a problem as I do with this?
I think this is a perfect example of who is really in charge here:
For the Corporations, by the Corporations... the rest of us are just taxpayers.

I know this is off-topic, but I like the one about Chicken Foot.

Very slick! Even had a DVD drive, so no disc swapping.
KDE 3 rocks your nads!
The best part... booted on the DVD, partitoned drives, installed software (lots of it), system booted. NO REBOOTS! Eat that M$!
So tired of reinstalling Win98 and rebooting 800 times for plug-n-pray to get it's crap together.

Heh, I've been boycotting diznee for years!

Mod me as "dated"!

Here's an idea: instead of griping about it and feeling hopeless about our civil rights being stampeded, go here and write your congressperson:

Urge your representative to NOT pass the bill as long as that idotic, unmanageable rider is attached!
Why is that off-topic?
It's not my AC post, btw, but 12 IDE? Seriously, if I needed more than 4, I'd go for SCSI, maybe leave the cdrom on IDE.
that titanium (or an alloy of it) is used

it contains nano-probes. Win XP didn't completely assimilate me, dammit! I want to be part of the hive! *sob*
