And am I the only one who has had issues with FF5 hanging CONSTANTLY?
I used to have 2 instances of FF3 and 4 open, one instance was 5 tabs of normal stuff, and the other instance was 12-15 tabs of flash pr0n (yeah, my dick has A.D.D. too) and it NEVER crashed....
Now with FF5, I open Facebarf, Gmail, and Stumbleupon, and it crashes like a college kid after a coke binge....
This makes me think of how back in the old days, if you got 10 or 15 thousand at a video game, you were a g0d....
Nowadays, everyone scores in the octillions. Ooh! I shot another thingy! 4 trillion points! w00t!
Firefox tweaks some bullshit, half of which does something slightly cool, the other half does something slightly MORE uncool, and they give it another full version number?
By 2014, if we're still in the triple-digit version numbers, I'll be surprised...
I expect FF V350.0 to be out sometime next year, and it will be the software equivalent of combing your hair a different way..
Close, Immcintosh.....The best condom name has got to be this one, I'm not kidding here, "Family Plus Retard", as seen in a grocery store in Spain...They're made in France, and in French, the name makes a lot more sense than the Anglicized interpretation....But the Anglicized interpretation is MUCH more fun:)
And yet, an even *bett0rz* analogy would be that it's like trying to use the fan belt off of a 1961 Studebaker to affix a poster to your wall, failing miserably, and then writing a letter of complaint to the vice-president of the Leif Garrett fan club in hopes that he/him will send you a discount coupon for a Chinese-language surf lesson. Doorjam hippopotamus!!
OK, I was wondering if there was going to be a post that actually said "thank you", and if not, I was gonna be the first...
THANKS to all who have been involved with/. including the users....I've always loved the site, not only because of its interesting stories, funny comments, and delicious cheese fries, but also because it's a great inspiration to be around brilliant minds.
Reading/. never ceases to remind me of both how smart I am, and how stupid I am (kidding- but it's great to strain the brain trying to absorb some of the higher-level stuff, and feels awesome when thanks to user comments, I'm able to learn and understand them a bit better).
Taco- I, and many others here owe ya a large, strong drink served by a cute Asian woman. Cheers!
My god....Did it ever occur to you that the "conversations" that you have on message boards ISN'T in real-time, therefore "butting in" doesn't exactly carry the same implications it does in a RL conversation. I mean, this isn't a problem for most people, but if that kinda thing actually throws your thought process for a loop, well, who am I to judge?
Besides, as a registered user, I believe I have an open inviation to comment any time I like.
You're just mad cos you acted a twat and I called you out on it. Go back to your really important conversation with randoms about stuff you have no control over...
You must r00l the chat window thingy on WoW or whatever game you heavily play...(Dunno the terminology cos I don't play any of em)...The 13-year old screaming German kid must worship you...
And no, I don't have anything at the moment to contribute to the conversation that hasn't already been well stated by another participant...except the observation that you're a rather rude person...
I have a fellow "geek" friend who thinks it's ok to tell me to go fuck myself when we're having a friendly argument about current events and the like...Not in a goofy exclaimatory way, but in a dismissive way, similar to the way yours came off, all on its lonesome, devoid of obvious tongue-in-cheekness..
It shifts the tone of the conversation from one of pleasant, engaging dialogue, to one of aggression and unfriendliness.
It also decreases the affinity severely, as I once regarded this friend warmly and fondly, he is merely an acquaintance now, and sinking in the polls.
Why would someone go to school to become a doctor if they made the same money as a cashier who wouldnt have to go to school?
Umm.....because of their personal desire to HELP PEOPLE?!?!
That's why there are lots of doctors in Eastern Europe and Russia today. They know that they make the same money as cashiers, but they still do it because they want to help people.
Maybe that's why your average SL55 driving prick with an M.D. here in the US throws a girly-tantrum whenever they've got to deal with people who've only got the HMO that their job partially pays for....They're just in it for the money, aren't they? They know that a cash-paying uninsured, or an HMO isn't gonna make 'em rich, so they give the minimum effort...
I'd rather have a doctor who is motivated by the desire to HELP than motivated by the dollar-signs they'll receive if they do....
Ok, Westlake...You said: "a lawyer of even modest integrity will walk away from a client who insists on paupering himself and his family to no intelligible purpose."
So....like...How do you manage to post to the internets from 1954 Mayberry???
(No offense, NewYorkCountryLawyer, but you gotta know that kind noble folks such as yourself in the law profession are quite a minority, no?)
But that said, you also posted: "you are and will remain just another file in the tens of thousands of cases that the rights agencies pursue each year.
you won't make law. you won't change anything.
you will in all probability never rate a mention even on Slashdot."....Bit of a douchebag, aren't'cha?

As long as we have Hot Pockets, Auction Hunters, and instant pr0n from a multitude of electronic devices, Amerikkkans don't care what else happens...
That's also how you GIVE one!

Great...Just what I'm looking for in a condom :)
Umm, by the looks of that house, my best guess is that they're concerned about the street-view shots exposing their meth lab and/or moonshine still!

Yup. >sigh
Just as I was thinking about how that quote needed a Gundam twist, scrollity-scroll, and.... :)
Well done, man!

Peas, porridge, hot.
You said, "I've actually had some biz associate tell me to send the doc in 'askee'.".
Umm...so do you normally refer to it as the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or simply AY ESS SEE EYE EYE?
