If you want a good indication of how funny the jokes are, laugh out loud along with the laugh track. It'll illuminate just how mundane the jokes usually are.
Try disabling Saft and see if that makes a difference. I found that the session restore caching very quickly gobbled up lots of memory and slowed Safari to a crawl. I liked Saft, but I can't use it because of the performance hit.
I used to use Saft for ad blocking and saving sessions, but Saft slowed down Safari even more. Now I use SafariBlock for blocking ads, and Forget Me Not for saving sessions, and it works fine.
You can import adblock filter lists into SafariBlock, as well as add site on the fly.
I set up a cron task to run diskutil to fix permissions once a week. It might be overkill, but it's transparent to me, and I haven't run into any permissions problems since I did this.
Here's some anectodotal evidence that you're correct, FWIW.
Years ago, I bought an HP printer from CompUSA, and I complained to the HP floor rep that was hanging around that it's creepy and cheap to not include a cable with the printer. He told me that the retailers wanted them to stop including the cables so that they could sell them as accessories.
The printer companies weren't going to push back, since it created another revenue stream for them as well. I know many computer novices that would probably buy an HP-branded cable just to really, really be sure that they have the right one.
3. Here, from your own liberal media, a quote from the author of Kerry's biography: "...John Kerry was not the war hero we thought he was". They must be liars, because we know the truth and they are not saying it!
From the actual biography:
Kerry's heroism is simply a fact, bald and undeniable. And it is the form his heroics took that is especially impressive.
"He was in total control, and willing to be aggressive," says one of his crewmen. "He wanted to take the fight to the enemy. . . . He always put his men's welfare first, and he was tough, tough, tough. He was a great leader."
That being said, I'm about 90% confident that somewhere in the last year, one or two Adobe programmers have coded a bug fix and have it sitting around, but management won't let them put it in because they see it as caving into "illegal" hackers like the DEFCON speakers.
More likely, the fix is sitting around, but they can't implement it because they don't have a change request to do so, and management won't let such an "unnecessary" change disrupt their schedules.
Gene Hackman is brilliant as a surveillance geek, and the story is near perfect.

Outrageous that bands get only $2-$3 on a $20 CD
$2-$3 per CD is generous. A very good series of articles on Cosmik Debris written by music lawyer Dina LaPolt gives an inside view to what the artists have to deal with. The artist has to pay packaging fees, the producer's royalties, "CD reduction" fees (CDs are considered new technology!)... all told the artist comes away with around $1.37 per CD. Then they get to start paying back the record company for advances, promotion costs, marketing, etc.
Add to that the highly unfair grip the record companies have over release schedules, and we start to see who the real pirates are.

To build an even more powerful computer that will answer the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything!
It really calls for a hyphenated family name, such as "nigel molesworth-smythe"
I just hope they don't cast Gary Shandling as Muldur's long-lost sister.
This stolen video of a government training film confirms the lieutenant's affidavit.

Maybe when a new exploit is found, we'll hear Terre Roche belt out "Exposure". (cue the primal screaming)
Speaking of characters who make occasional appearances, what about the Great Gazoo on The Flintstones?
As long as we're including My Favorite Martian in the list...

Another fave. When Pauly gets his revenge on the cop... classic!
