I think you're missing the fact that generally the humidity in homes is higher than the humidity outside, especially in winter (pardon me for being so northern hemisphere-centric.)
So, your box pulls room air into the box, expels it through this tube, and you end up with comparatively warm, moist air in your wall.
If you're doing this to an internal wall, said air could condense on a water pipe, or just hang around until it cools down (if you don't leave your machine on 24/7), and then you've got water running around in your walls, looking for stuff to rot.
If you're doing this to an outside wall, congratulations. You've just rendered the insulation in that section of wall completely meaningless, provided you can get air into that area. There's a reason insulation comes with a sheet of paper on one side, and the directions are adamant that the papered side faces IN. It's a vapor barrier, and it keeps the insulation from getting saturated from stuff like this.
Actually, it regains some of the points lost by calling something a 'puter.
It's just like writing in all caps is bound to lose you points, while writing in alternating, misplaced, or even no caps will probably gain you points (or at worst, have no effect on your geek points.)
How long until some jackass comes up with some sort of Geekagotchi, where you have it recompile kernels, mislearn spelling, and subtitle anime fan films, in order to gain the Geek points ot move to the next level?
The fact that he mentions you can play as a Paladin means he was most likely talking about Diablo II, in which you do indeed kill Big D. Now, if you also want to kill Baal, you need to shell out more cash for the expansion.
I would think that "Anyone who's played through all of Diablo" would know that you had Warrior, Wizard, and Rogue classes to choose from.
I agree, although if they're paranoid enough to kill the WAP (I certainly would), maybe they should be reissuing passwords, in case anyone happened to grab them during their time of vulnerability.
I scares me shitless to think that there have been successful wardriving sessions in the Washington, D.C. area.
You cool cookies on a paper bag. Cut the bag down the seams, lay it flat, and put the cookies on the bag. Let them cool. Eat them, but don't spoil your appetite for supper.
And yeah, a lerger plastic bag of canned goods would most likely destroy the handles attached to it, unless they were infused with admantium, Wolverine-style. Snikt, Snikt, Berserker Rage.
See, I used to get the stuff as a package deal. It'd be like, "Oh, here comes Hormonal. Someone should tell him we moved the enemas (note spelling) to aisle 6."
When I got a new gf, it was all like, "Hey, aren't you forgetting something? All you've got is condoms, man."
Heh. All right, the wife takes a pill every morning, so I don't have to buy them.
However, back in the day, I was always scared of the old evil eye while checking out. I bought a lot of useless shit, in an effort to disguise the purchase. What a dumbass.
Although the end guy is definitely Hitler (It's somewhat gratifying to see his head explode, after trying to time that rocket launcher shot to go in the cockpit og the helicopter.)
Nintendo has always tried to keep their software clean (Bubble Bath Babes notwithstanding). The original Mortal Kombat had sweat, rather than blood (although I believe there was a code to turn the sweat red.) Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! became just plain ol' Punch-Out!!, and Mike Tyson became Mr. Dream. The N64 was roasted for its lack of software aimed at older audiences, as well as for its lack of software in general.
I appreciate them sticking to their guns. I've always been a Nintendo fan, even through the N64 years, when the lack of software was a bit of an issue for me. They have relaxed their policies, and some pretty violent/gory games are available for the GameCube, like the RE series and BloodRayne (which I believe actually includes Nazis -- how's that for a full-circle tangent?) All of the Nintendo franchises, however, have stayed kid-safe.
Here on/., I know the prevailing notion is that censorship in general is evil, and I agree to an extent. Nintendo's relaxed a bit, and as I near my parenting years, I'm at least glad to know that when looking for games for my kids, a Nintendo-designed/published title will be kid-safe.
Most of those connections are pretty weak, but rather than just calling "Bullshit", here's an explanation for the naming of Gargamel's feline friend.
Gargamel was a magician. He had magic books, cooked up potions, and attempted to turn the smurfs into gold via good, old-fashined alchemy. His cat was named Asrael, which is a misspelling of the name Azrael. Googling for said name will turn up references to necromancy, witchcraft, and quite a few theological discussions.
My take is that the cartoon designers were looking for a name, found Azrael while browsing for good names for a sorcerer's familiar, and changed the z to an s. I seriously doubt the entire cartoon is built as an allegory to Communism.
I just want to know what these comestibles are going to be called?
Does a Sim walk into a SimMcDonalds, order a 9-piece Chicken SimMcNugget (SimChicken McNugget? Wait, that's what they are now.) meal, and then SimShit his/her SimBrains out 1 SimHour later?
OK, given the fact that you misspelled 'ignorant' the same way twice in the same post, I'm making the assumption that you're intentionally doing so. I'm replying in case you're not.
Your point is good; the other guy was way off base, but giving the impression of the inability to spell a word like 'ignorant' doesn't generally lend credibility to your argument.
Sorry to be pedantic. I had a roommate that insisted on pronouncing the word incorrectly while using it as a synonym for 'stupid', and it made my teeth curl every time he did it. i guess seeing it in print rubbed me the wrong way.

At least with the paper bags, you could make masks, cool cookies, and other crap with them.
Now I have to pay good money for trash bags to line cribs. Pain in my ass.

no print, tho.
fp?
I stand corrected on all counts. Thanks for setting me straight.

I hear Maya is pretty expensive. Perhaps if we all chipped in and bought him a copy of Maya, he could work it out for us.
Geez, some people have got some strange tastes...
I could have sworn we already had one of those.
Or is that the Chinese year 2000?

Wonder what kind of sites his bedtime surfing frequents?
It seems that those two programs would kind of cancel each other out. Looks like India's on the right track there...
Someone set us up the lame-ass joke.
