    Of course, maybe you're making a joke to.

    Making a joke to what? To make a point?

  2. Don't believe everything you read. on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 1
    From www.whedonesque.com:

    All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said I had 'closure', what I meant was "I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips." But EW's always got to put some weird negative spin on it. But so we're clear once and for all: If you read a quote saying "I'd love to do more in this 'verse with these actors in any medium" all I'm saying is that Nathan has a turnipy odor. It's not his fault, he doesn't eat a lot of them but everyone else in the cast noticed it and tht's not really something I'm prepared to deal with any more. And Jewel said outright she wouldn't do scenes with him except stuff like the SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER funeral scene which was outside in a high SPOILER wind. So if I do manage to find another incarnation for my beloved creation, it will have been totally against my will.

    I hope that clears everything up. Oh, and when I say I want to do a Spike movie, it means I have a bunion on my toe.

  3. Re: Sydney is a very fuzzy place. on Google Adds Satellite Imagery for the World · · Score: 1

    What's odd is that most of Sydney, Australia has high zoom images but the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=-33.855915,151.21 3803&spn=0.032401,0.041242&t=k&hl=en, do not.

  4. Jalapeno plant on Plants for Cubicles? · · Score: 1

    A co-worker of mine once grew a small jalapeno plant in his cube and succesfully produced edible peppers within a year. Surprisingly, this worked without the benefit of a window; the plant grew quite well on fluorescent light alone.

  5. Re:Ken is smart on Ken Jennings Gets a New Challenge · · Score: 1

    That was supposed to read $100,000 donation. Obviously I'll never make it on the show.

    How many tote bags do you get for a $1000 donation?

  7. Support costs on Win2k Cheaper than Linux · · Score: 1

    One part of the article seems to imply that managers of Linux systems are paid significantly more than managers of Win2K systems, making the use of Linux systems more costly. Is this really the case in other peoples' experience?
