If you want to see "consumer grade" bacon, just look at how fatty all bacon in supermarkets are, then look at how quality it is when served in restaraunts.
"Consumer grade" = there but for the laws goes dog food.

By restoring his father to the lightside, he thus defeated the Dark Lord by indirect action. As Obi-wan might say, "So in a sense, what I told you was true."

Books don't count. Games don't count. Han doesn't have a daughter. The only cannon things are the movies and the live action parts of the Star Wars Christmas Special.
I read Splinter of the Mind's Eye before most of you were even br0n.
Also, you don't really need an evolutionarily useful reason. It may just be a side effect of the powerful brain. Nerds sitting at home at night, not mating, is hardly something that's the direct result of something evolutionarily useful.
It always saddened me that gay people felt they had to scientifically justify their emotions. In a properly constructed free society, the people never grant the government the power to regulate sexuality in the first place. "Reasons" for anything are nothing more than scientific curiosities, and should have nothing to do with politics.

Again, I must emphasize that were Linux the dominant OS and E-mail platform (thus being the target of spammers [b]and their ungodly intensive efforts[/b]) more likely than not it would have just as bad problems if not worse.
I stand prepared to be modded down by those with an emotional interest in Linux, but I cannot let fear dissuade me from speaking the truth. Yes, your lady is the hottest one on the planet, with no blemishes.:rollseyes
No, I saw that scene where she prances around with makeup on. Unless they cut a few more details, what was happening didn't seem like a big deal. It was just an obvious child crush.
AKA The Professional, the one with the badass guy and everyone's favorite around here, Natalie Portman, as a pre-pubescent girl.
I don't recall anything untoward in this movie (aside from the violence.) Sure the girl was in love with him, but he never did anything other than care for here and protect her as if she were his own. That was the whole point of the movie, how he was raising her as an assassin.
Unless they cut out some makeout session from the US market or some such, of course...

Exactly. And we know people who want to counterfeit money and checks will abide by this law preventing them from installing a dummy black box or override hack.:rollseyes-at-the-damned-officials-eeeediots
And the distribution issue is largely related to wars, strife, and totalitarian governments. Open it up and protect it so evil local capitalists can get in there to feed people...

Sadly, most nerds around here cannot figure out how to work this video style's porn.

It's been two computers since I've been able to play the original Quake without it being in superspeed mode.
In fact, with my old computer just prior to this one, I couldn't even play Quake I online. Evidently it also sends updates at the framerate, so any game I joined, I ground those other computers to a halt if they had modems.
I'm suprised no one ever released a corrected version that fixed all this.
> Human vision cannot see 60 frames per second anyway
You've obviously never sat in front of a low-refresh rate monitor, especially under flourescent lights.
In any event, I can easily tell the difference between 60 and 90 fps in Quake. I wish this faulty meme would die its deserved death. The actual detectable rate is somewhat above 60, but 60 is easily not enough.

Now if they can just get the Leisure Suit Larry guy, they'll be untouchable.

Yes, the rate of matings did increase because of it.
McDonald's is "consumer grade" food.

People keep missing my point about massive, hateful attacks against Microsoft exposing a higher percentage of holes, and of harder to find holes.

Better than pushing one button and having XP upgrade automatically? Do I have to tar -xpf those?

Like I do, you stinking sacks of shit.
Hell, I even talk disparagingly of Linux compared to Windows.

Oh my god, that is hot! I wonder what unnatural uses they're talking about? I want specifics!

5 flops, damn! Imagine a beowulf cluster of these.
And now, on a related note, I'm going to go use some pr0n and think of the hot Barbara Bush, Sr.
No, I saw that scene where she prances around with makeup on. Unless they cut a few more details, what was happening didn't seem like a big deal. It was just an obvious child crush.

God damn it, you nerds! Think of the pr0n possibilities. The hairs and skin undulations.
It embiggened him.
And by "redundant", I mean some electrical engineer there needs to be fired.
