    Or the GnomeCube.... dear god no, the horror!

  2. Re:No way on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's why I love Opera so much, Disable Images by default then with a click of a button (two clicks, actually) they load for you.

    In truth, this is the only feature stopping me from switching to Mozilla (Although I do like Opera's tabbed browsing much more than Moz's)

  3. Re:Oh no! They spelled it differently! on Live Action Neon Genesis Evangelion Concept Art · · Score: 1
    Not everyone is appalled by the spelling just because it is not Japanese.

    I personally agree with you that it's a pretty silly thing to care about the series. Particularly because this is probably a secondary effect of another change.


    Grady the White: Everyday Fred moves closer to Mordor.

    Dunno about you but that would have been enough to make ME hunt down Peter Jackson and burn him alive. (Although having a character named "Grady the Gray" would have made me chuckle for half a second)

    And Pirates of the Carribean. I mean come on, sure it was a good movie but the effects were lame... the skeletons looked like marrionette puppets half the time.

  5. Re:just wondering on iTunes 4.2 and QuickTime 6.5 · · Score: 3, Funny

    You hit the nail on the head. If linux is ever to succeed on the desktop, the distros will have to agree upon one common set of libraries and a common default window manager

    I agree. And that Window Manager should be BlackBox! What's that? You want KDE? And someone else wants Gnome? Ratpoison?

    ......

    We are so screwed.

  6. Re:Well... (OFF TOPIC) on Lindows Ordered To Stop Using Lindows Name · · Score: 1

    Haven't used Mozilla in a while, but is there some sort of IE-esque "Zone" scheme that you can use to block popups/plugins/Javascript from sites that are in the appropriate zone?

    I use Opera, and have all of those things disabled anyway (along with images), so forgive me for being a little ignorant.

    ... as well as other nations laws are based on the 12 commandment

    I didn't know there was an eleventh or twelfth ammendment, please tell me more.

    What about the law that makes adultery illegal?

    Theft is Illegal, so you got two so far.

    I have coveted my neighbor's wife before (and her ass, for that matter) but even if this WERE illegal, it would be completely unenforceable (unless the government is secretly training the thought police right now.)

    what you forget is that atheists are patriots too. They WANT to pledge allegience to the country, but have to pledge to be "under God" to do so.

    I'm a southerner as well (Alabama, Hick central).

    And while it's true that not everyone here is a hick, lots of them are.

    My parents, aunts, and uncles were all born and raised here. And most of them use the n-word quite frequently.

    I've noticed that it's mostly the older generations (I.E. Baby Boomers) who are the most Racist. Most of my schoolmates (ok, well, most of the schoolmates that I had classes with) were generally more open-minded.
