The glasses don't bother me, it's the commercial. When BK buys commercials, they only buy them on one show or networks that I like and plays them on every break.
Actually, my grandparents are way ahead of their time... the've been using earthlink cd's for coasters but the whole time never knowing the term 'coaster'. [CDR]
They have stacks of CDs and don't throw them away until they spill something on the ones they've used.
I'm someone who suffers from mental illness. I never knew that while I just cring when I hear these things there actually is a group out there to stop this sortta language.
While they put this one under associated with video games, I find this one to be offensive because of the name.
Rock Em Sock Em Robots, "Head Case Robot," Mattel
While I don't think violent games makes someone violent - this kind of thing does make it harder to remove the stigma of mental illness with things like that. I'm not a thought police kind of guy, but can't their multi-million dollar marketing team come up with something else?
What if I came out with a product and through some cleaver pun ''dropped the 'N' bomb''?
Before you flame me, please try to put yourself in my shoes. I don't care, I've not boycotted a product or anything. But, wouldn't hearing that all day long bother you?
Rememeber, I'm simply saying why doesn't the author use that for a reason?
This reminds me of that old SNL skit where the guy is protecting products such as 'Bag O' Glass' while saying that a teddy bear is unsafe because you can shove it into your mouth.
Let's worry about physical danger first, and forget the mind control. If you are that right wing that you don't want your kids playing these games and with these toys - you probaly do want them to learn to fight in wars and the such - so it's kinda backwards, right?
Just get your kids a Happy Fun Ball[tm,rm,(c),*]

I must admit that I wasn't a fan of the FF series when it was NES but after seeing FFVII I went to FuncoLand and bought the NES games (all for under $10!).
I was younger and wanted action then. Plus NES graphics didn't give the game what Square was all about. The games are great but when you are 10 you'd rather play Contra.
Seeing FFVII blew me away. It actually made me buy a playstation [and Quake II] even though I was/am a Sony-hater.
The FF games are great, like Pokemon for Gboy it helped teach my little brother to read. He loved the gameplay and the graphics, but he learned real quick that you needed to read the dialouge to win.
FFVII, being my first actual FF game, took me at least two work weeks of time to complete. I would sit up and play all night. My friend [who is a FF nut - which I never knew] that turned me onto the game can hear the music and pick it up right away.
I was playing some mp3s and the Sephiroth music came on and he jumped out of the chair. "I know what that is!"
See what these games do to people.
And: Not only graphics, but the sound was awsome in the PSX games. FFVII wasn't the best, but it was great to play.
I've always thrown the CDs away and kept the nice box they came in, they fit perfectly with my DVDs and are nice for taking one CD somwhere when you have no case for it.
1) Drop the CD in and type 'setup' and Windows installs itself, whereas you need a manual to tell you what should be installed for Linux.
So I've got this PC sitting here with no operating system or I just installed a new hard drive and I just drop in a cd and hit install? Like windows' comes on a CD that is bootable? Oh they finally got around to that with XP and 2000... gotcha
2) Hmm, all the best games and software are written for Windows, whereas Linux scrapes all of the leftovers and second class software from the people who don't get paid very well for their work.
*All* the best games are written for Windows? You are right. Linux doesn't have many big selling games available for it like Quake [I, II or III] The Sims, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Unreal Tournament, or anything else. Maybe this isn't anyone's fault except the game writers?
3) If you have a problem with your computer, you can always call the company who put it together for you, whereas with Linux you have to work your problem around the schedule of some pasty unshaven lout who is wired to explode after drinking one too many Red Bull energy drinks.
Always? After a year and a day most will tell you to go fuck yourself. You can't call M$ - most of the time they say call your builder. Have you ever dealt with anyone's tech support? Most companies either replace the part[s] or nothing. No one holds your hand - they sell you a book, yes there is books for Windoze. OH! If your hardware isn't supported yet it maybe supported one day under linux. Under windows, it either is or isn't. People at M$ don't just sit around writing drivers for fun, but the linux community does.
4) So what if Linux is cheaper? You get what you pay for, people. Why buy a used car and worry about getting the thing running (a problem with Linux) when you can buy a new car and not have to worry?
Unfortunatly you don't get anything with your cash when you buy windoze. Solitare, and other apps that you need to rush back to the store to upgrade... worth 99 bucks? And if your shit ain't supported in winbloze M$ will tell you to suck it and call the maker - which will tell you to suck it because they don't support windows X9000 or whatever. Oh yeah, how many thousand of apps come with windows? How many CDs in the box? By far more software *comes* with Linux. I've always wondered... how much does the Norton [Symantec] stock price jump when a new version of windows is announced.
5) Does your computer crash when you install Windows on it? Maybe that's because you built the thing from the guts of obsolete machines. Also, if you want to buy your parts off of pricewatch.com, expect to get parts that don't work properly. Does this mean that Linux is better because it has a higher compatibility with different components? NO. It means that Windows has higher standards.
Windows is SUPPOSED to be the umbrella that all computer parts, and standards sit under! Higher standards - like memory leaks, daily 'defrags', no security, control over hardware makers? I once tried to install 98 on a machine of a friend that had recently lost all of his data because of 'registry' errors and the like. Pre-built system 2 months over warrantee. No recovery CD was supplied from the PC maker and his machine sat for months because 98 would not finish the installation. Now he bought XP, can't wait for that! PS: Pricewatch doesn't sell a fucking thing.
6) Windows users, on average, copulate far more than Linux users. Windows users also don't smell like cheddar cheese.
Bill Gates is laid daily by women of all races from around the globe! You could be as well if you bought Windows XP Professional and not Home Edition! Gimme' a break.
7) My mother knows how to use Windows. Does your mother know how to use Linux?
Leave my mother out of this! Actually she is a dual booter! RedHat on one drive [doesn't use] and Mandrake on the other. She got rid of Windows when she bought ME and it froze every hour or so. She would wake up... go to the PC and see that nice pretty blue-screen saver.
8) Nobody has -EVER- been able to hack my machine or install any virus simply because I turn off Active Scripting. You take scripting away, and suddenly my Windows machine is more secure than your bodged up Linux b0xen.
Mind sharing your IP address with us? How much did you get raped for your Anti-Virus software?
9) Programs written for Windows work in Windows, whereas you have to know the program inside and out to get the thing to compile in *nix.
Compile? That's so 20th century. Desktop users these days are apt-getting and rpm'n this and that.
10) Don't like the way something is running in Windows? Change it with the click of a button. Don't like the way something is running in Linux? Recompile the god damned kernel and pray the thing doesn't hex dump over your Sarah Michelle Gellar.jpgs.
I don't like how things stop running in windows frankly. How do I change that? You seem to be someone that when shown a DOS prompt you say WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?
Sound about right to you? Well, I thought so.
By the way, 'No Money' sounds more appropriate than 'National Pride' as a reason for using Linux.
When you pay for basic software on thousands, maybe millions of PC's then you tend to be lighter in the wallet.
Sincerely,

Drugs are for losers! Remember that and stay off the crack.
Otherwise, thank you for the amusing post even if you are a fanboy.
Now when I try to search for "getting rid of windows" I'll get information on getting rid of Windows 1.01?
I found it hard enough reading a huge thread of articles and noticing at the end they were talking about Red Hat 5.3 or something of the such.
On the other hand... I hope my parents never find this, because I've got lots of d rug posts. I've since changed my mind, but I was younger then (of course) and under their 'rule'
It sounds cool, but I want to boycott for some odd reason.
I must say the single pixel web-cam is got to be the best page listed.
It's short and to the point - funny - and the text only version made me fall over laughing... because it's true. I wonder if he knew about being slashdotted before or after he put that up.
I simply mean that it is a crazy enough idea that it would work and the USA is afraid of it.
Medically speaking - many people with healthy social lives masturbate - because no one really cares.
When you were 13+ though your friends would make fun of you. When you met a girl that could admit she did it and you also did the same to her, then you had something special.
The reason is the taboo. Why not try to help puberty aged childern release that stigma and realize that masturbation at that age is ok, while our society doesn't allow any room for teenage parents.
Somewhere along the line I think we decided that we shouldn't marry or procreate at that age - but either G-d or mother nature wants us to, or we'd develop a lot later.
Is there any evidence that points to this? At one time wasn't our life expectancy only around 30-40 years old? Why is it we still produce the functions so early?
You do remember how you felt when you hit that age, right? Either you wanted to touch it or someone else - some ppl didn't care who it was, maybe/. editors today.
I've never bought a 'protection plan' [racket is the word right?].
I have however bought many 'refurbished' products. My old AMD 333MHZ HP was refurbished, only problem it had a virus [which turned out to be Circuit City's fault]. My 12" Sony speakers were refurbished and returned! Only problems were that my fag [figurative!] of a friend popped in the tweeter dust caps [fucker.. i'm gonna kill you!]
A lot of things you buy may actually be 'recertified' as this appliance is with out you even knowing it. Some companies actually repack it and ship it out.
Slashdot Mirror
y is this modded to zero?

does have some cool stuff.
So he is smoking pot!
/. and decided that it was a cover up and 'J' explained it was tobacco to get people off his back.
I knew it, we discussed this earlier on
Now if it was tomacco that would be great! [i love that episode]
I would wait for the 9 hour viewing.
Just sounds cool. Put on your fury slippers, get the bong and blow some smoke rings.
Ok ok... when I leave to see it I'll hit "download now" - I will go, not to give **AA cash, or the actors, just to 'vote' for the movie and let them know that George Clooney sux my ass and has to go.
Oh, I've seen these commercials...
"They're not behold,
they're to be-held"
I'm going to kill myself next time I see that.
The glasses don't bother me, it's the commercial. When BK buys commercials, they only buy them on one show or networks that I like and plays them on every break.
At least it isn't McDonalds.
But being that I own stock in Wendy's I wish we were selling them.
wanna try to /. a movie theatre???
I've already tried to reserve tickets via moviefone.com and they are all sold out for the times listed.
There will be more times [in my area] but the other nerds got to them first.
I see this movie being the next Star Wars, but with out the fanboys... just geeks [like us]
Actually as part of my xmas gift to my mom we are going to go see that.
We used to read 'The Hobbit' [parts] everynight before I went to bed.
When you are a kid, the book makes perfect sense. I've always loved that story but never found the time to read these books.
So I will be completely suprised.
{{ In the Hobbit I loved the blind lizard thing in the cave.. my favorite }}
Actually, my grandparents are way ahead of their time... the've been using earthlink cd's for coasters but the whole time never knowing the term 'coaster'. [CDR]
They have stacks of CDs and don't throw them away until they spill something on the ones they've used.
FFIX was way better than VIII I must say.
IX had the classic characters and even a few loops that you were tossed through.
IX also had great mini-games.
Classic! I love those.
