I know someone who, for all practical purposes, weighs around 500 pounds through no fault of his own. Actually, he weighs around 250, but his electric wheelchair adds another 200+ pounds. It would be fun trying to get THAT on the bus.
...and then you go off with a new lady (linux/osx) and find out that she's got no table manners, speaks dutch, is way to intellectual and to cap it all she doesn't do all the tricks in bed that your last girlfriend did!!
So you decide to go back to your girlfriend after all (XP), since you know her ways, you love the way she lets you do what you want and keeps herself in good shape with a workout once a month (windows update):)
That's not quite true. Lady XP insists that I do everything her way, she's overweight, and she keeps coming down with a virus. But, I have gone back to her, mainly because Lady Linux can't cook. She keeps trying to build the oven from scratch. That would be fine, but she never finishes it!:-p
They don't love XP because it is an operating system, not a loved one!
Actually, XP is like an abusive girlfriend. She abuses you, she lies to you, she manipulates you. You know she's bad for you, but you can't leave her, and she knows it.
If you feel you need to love an operating system, get therapy NOW!
I don't drive out of my way to get "cheap" gas, but I DO try to postpone my fillups until I visit my GF, who lives near one of the "cheapest" stations in the city.
Under Clinton, we had a Republican controlled Congress that forced him to balance the budget.
By the time Bush came in, the Repubs had been in power long enough to get greedy, and they agreed with Bush.
Chances are, if the Dems win Congress in 2006, spending will slow down for the next two years, but it will skyrocket if they have Congress & the Presidency in 2008.
Superman doesn't routinely push planets around anymore, but even trying to lift a large building should result in a pile of rubble, not an intact building. I'd guess that Superman hasn't really obeyed the laws of physics since the 30's when he couldn't even fly.
Back in my day we didn't have any fancy multithreaded pre-emptive kernel to run our 32 line BBSes. We had 486/66 DX2 DOS boxes with 4 digiboards in ISA slots each with 8 serial ports running DLX software. And we said "Hey look at me, I connected at 2400 baud!" And we watched ASCII art animations that were best viewed at 1200 baud, and we used X-modem for our downloads, AND WE LIKED IT.
Was that before of after you walked 5 miles to school in knee-deep snow?
I use.Mac's iDisk, both for backups and for transferring stuff between my iBook and my PC. Even if my house burned down, I could retrive my most important files from the iDisk.
I concur. Now Spanish *is* an easy language to learn. Spanish is probably the best designed of the major languages (IMHO). I would guess that it would take probably half the time to learn Spanish than it would to learn English
Doesn't Spanish have about 50 different verb conjugations? I agree that Spanish is very easy for spelling and pronounciation (except for that trilled rr), but it's more complicated in other respects.
will be to eliminate Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune as planets. Obviously real planets are made of rock like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Those other bodies are just big puffs of gas. They shouldn't be called planets.
I liked the eps that had what I call "oh shit" moments, when you could picture the SG team saying "oh shit, how do we stop the Goald now?". And yet, they did.
I agree. I understand what some of the other posters are saying about this being a tounge-in-cheek "fun" episode, but the way they were hyping it, I thought it would be something good. Instead, it made me wish they'd stopped at 199!

I remember all the above. Damn you, now you've made me feel old!
What about those of us who live in medium sized cities that don't have rail systems, and crappy bus systems?

That's what my shrink told me.

Are you saying that we Slashdoters in our parent's basements will become Morlocks?

Which explains why they spell it "Pee Cee".

I can't help but wonder if anyone ever tried to put the files into the wastebasket and DIDN'T empty it.

I thought it was "judge me by my size, do you?"
I don't care what those new-fangled books say! I called them "brontosaurus" when I used to ride them to school, and I still call them that.
It does NOW, but for many years, probably decades, anyone who dared even THINK about installing Netscape would be put out of business by Microsoft.
But, if the point of arguement can't speak, the OP might still be correct. :)

I don't mind humor and in-jokes, but 200 took it way too far.
Yup! IMO, SG1 is a pale shadow of what it used to be, but it's STILL better than nearly anything else out there.

Even when they had pay phones, they didn't do me much good when I blew my last quarter on a can of Coke and didn't have anything left for the phone.
