Say one movie is a half gig... that leaves a 20 gb drive with only forty flicks. Split this up among maybe four different genres and you can see it doesn't go very far.
Remember that a company like easynews allows 6gb of downloads for $10 and will max out most home bandwidth (at least 768k from what I've seen).
If you're a true pr0n fiend, you could buy an 80GB hdd for $130, then, given a 768k connection, spend the same amount at the newsserver over the next few weeks filling it up.
Meaning: Yeah, well, whatever, if that floats your boat. I mean I know all kinds of guys that do wierd shit. [internal monologue] Like that one guy, and his friend, and Oh, yeah, I remember there was this one kinda cute chick that painted her case all of these psychedelic colors... that was kind of a wierd use of time... I guess girls might do wierd stuff like [case mods], too, let's make a special point of it because if there is ONE girl out there that makes a positive comment about this I will have an inside road to getting to know her first:
Saying that record shop employees "need to eat" is only a normal way of saying that they "expect to be paid" in a world that appears to be full of people convinced of their right to be given things.
I can't imagine that you really think that record shops are charities for their employees.
Personally, I could not care less if record shops went out of business if I could still be guaranteed the same eclectic collection that many of the smaller ones offer through some other distributory method.
And many of the (rational) employees at said shops would be happier manning a post at a less difficult, but comparably paying, job if it meant that they could sample and buy music at less of a cost.
Yes, this is all about one phrase that you used and does not really comment on the content of your post.:)
I'm not saying you need to pussyfoot around the question, man, I'm just saying you don't need to say things like:
What about X? What about Y? You're irrational.
I'm not, so I have a better perspective.
Sheesh.
I just think you can have roughly the same conversation by saying, "I imagine that people have problems..., although it's strange because at night..." and you'll lay the same foundation without coming across so aggressively.
I dunno. That's just what I think.
BTW, I tried to watch that cartoon. It looked intriguing, but it was too choppy when streaming. My connection should be plenty sufficient.
Do you think you lose more water while breathing/sweating/(expanded blood vessels) after drinking in sub-freezing temperatures than if you hadn't of drank anything (to an extent that it "counts")?
I mean, that's the point, really. Does the drinking matter in cold conditions, and how much of an effect does water loss play in heat loss, ie the only thing changing would be someone having drunk and then losing more heat due to water loss than if they hadn't.
I mean, if this increased the chance that they'd pee in the snow, and then this caused them to drop a degree then that'd be a point to both the boozer and water-loss ARE BAD proponents.
I wouldn't think it'd be that big of a deal, but I could be wrong, of course. It's not "ridiculous", assmunch.
It's an interesting, non-obvious, and fun experiment... I should write a fucking GRANT PROPOSAL!
Hypothesis: Drinking in the snow does not affect my body temperature.
Experimental procedure: I will weigh the beer I will drink. I will then drink it. I will weigh myself. I will take my temperature. I will not pee, and if I do so I will pee onto a scale. I will not sweat because it's cold. I will take my temperature again. I will calculate my weight loss and take a large percentage of that as water loss and then I will just give the water loss the benefit of the doubt and give it max heat carrying potential. At this point I can give an estimate of the factor that water plays and I will have drank a lot of GOVERNMENT-FUNDED BEER!
Thanks for the idea, I owe it all to you for your insightful, and requested, comment.
See, what we have here is a large amount of SPIN, see. When SPIN gets around the story then things get EXCITING!
And SPIN makes it possible to make things HAPPEN, see?
So, like, this guy threw his batteries in the snow 'cuz he's retarded and got himself stuck in the mountains, see?
Then people rescue him, see? (present tense, I'm telling a story)
So he says, "I talked to this telemarketer and I also threw my batteries in the snow and my nose just fell off because I've been IN THE SNOW FOR THREE DAYS YOU FUCKERS!!!!"
And, they, the reporters, say, there's a lot of SPIN here! Let's capitalize!
So does that mean you don't fly at night? What about when you're above the clouds? It's not like there's much to see.
Not suffering from any phobias, I guess it's hard for me to understand....
Are you trying to be dense? Can you not stop for a second and think that the answer to either of your questions might be,... "Yes!" or, even, "Yeah, I guess so. I know it's wierd, but that's the way I am."
Do you like making people uncomfortable as a method to show how cool you are since you have no phobias or do you just lack tact?
That's what you sound like.
I think you just lack tact since you did mention viewports and whatnot. Lacking tact is an affliction... the world would be better if we all had a bit more.:) I know I wish I did at times. It could help extricate me from many a sticky situation. I recommend practicing it when possible.

I read it as him making a point, not as being PC.

I interpreted it like:
But hey, to each his own.
Meaning: Yeah, well, whatever, if that floats your boat. I mean I know all kinds of guys that do wierd shit. [internal monologue] Like that one guy, and his friend, and Oh, yeah, I remember there was this one kinda cute chick that painted her case all of these psychedelic colors
Or her own, I suppose.
I try and give people the benefit of the doubt.
Another oldtimer getting cranky, I see.
Wow, you're a dick.
Just because your response was WAY FUCKING funnier than the parent post doesn't give you the right to expose your shlongitude in public.
You're like a penis-bird perch and you're unhappy that the parent got points while you toil away unloved.
C'est la vie.
You should watch the Comedy Channel for some real pros, I know they sure as FUCK aren't hanging around here.
Joe Trailer Park is a proper noun and should be capatilized as such, mother fucker.
Was the supermarket air-conditioned before it was warm?
I have lots of plumes.
Yes, very normal.
As a matter of fact it's highly recommended.
Our waffle maker broke. It doesn't get warm anymore. Can we borrow yours? We ordered another one, but it has yet to show up.
Maybe you can just give us some waffles.
In a word: No.
And your sig makes sense.

My fantasy was quickly shattered by a piercing obnoxious nasal laugh from the 300-lb woman in an undersized "I Grock Spock" T-shirt....
Yeah, that would pretty much shatter any fantasy.

He was in the SNOW!!
SNOW!! Damn you!! Have some fucking SYMPATHY!
SNOW!!
Oh, God, you're an asshole.
What if it was someone trying to save your life?
See, what we have here is a large amount of SPIN, see. When SPIN gets around the story then things get EXCITING!

You have to pee or sweat to lose water ... (any other suggestions?) ...

You can't slander Brtiney and then act stupider than her.
Oh, hearzz the fucking NAIL, "It's you I want. Yourself. Jesus wouldn't like us to If he ever knew it"

Didn't I see you at the Lazy Lizard the other night?
As the late proponent of relativity who even graces the page I'm typing into right now said:
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
In our lab we use KDE2, Enlightenment, Blackbox, and WindowMaker, all on Linux.
Any one of us can logon to any of the 30 machines and get their own particularly configured environment in their own windowmanager.
How is this not providing a unique configuration for each user?
