It was funny because your kid was so precocious and yet so obviously naive that she forced you to think in ways that you haven't in a long time.
Unfortunately, you're trying to explain this to a bunch of sexually frustrated HS students waiting for their pr0n to finish downloading, and like three techies that wonder why the fuck they still come here.
I lost the Twin Towers book at sixth grade camp, dammit.
Reading LotR during HS is a waste of time. You should be getting laid then, I even have to agree with the Wunder-Friends.
OTOH, it wasn't a waste of time vs. craft hour... you missed your opportunity AND YOU'LL NEVER GET IT BACK!
Oh, and, as a tip, don't quote Friends' writers for something topical to the real world... it just makes everyone involved look all that much sillier for trying.
Because he wants one copy of XMMS running all the time, and he wants to be able to connect to it from anywhere in the house.
You're suggesting running XMMS over the network from each place he accesses it, but then he would have to leave his accessing machine on in order for it to continue running.
Well, yeah, that's very pithy and so it scores many points with me...
BUT! Can't we think "outside the fucking box" and just put a disclaimer in bright gold on a peel off label on the side of the truck that says, "You may VOID your warranty by doing this (depending on how much of a dickfuck your local dealer is), but if you buy the Super II-Ultra Hyper spark plugs from Gyrocon, which we partially helped develop, but are not including because they cost an additional $250 for us to make, for $75 you will get an additional 25HP (and that's a lot) out of this truck JUST FOR BEING SMART!" that people would like them?
I mean "people" like "gearheads" plus all of the others that "people who really know cars" talk to.
Car manufacturers are understandably secretive, but it seems that there comes a point where it doesn't really help them anymore.
Um, I just wanted to make a comment about your signature, but it seems to have disappeared. (Your actual post is entertaining enough to make me respond, be thrilled)
I am now going to work very hard to find it again. Ah, here it is:
Explorations - Fear the power of databases (of the FUTURE!!!!11)
See, this is stupid. No lamer worth anything writes "FUTURE!!!!11"
In order to be "cool" with a signature, you have to prove that you have already observed many "lame" signatures/posters. At some point you can declare your coolness by making an observation on the "lamerz" by feigning affect in your signature.
To be frank, your observation is terrible. It's so bad as to be almost manufactured. No lamer would ever hold the shift key down for ten strokes and then give up. And even if they did it wouldn't be worth commenting on unless everyone did it. And if everyone did it, it would be an observation into humanity that says something on the order of, "Humans cannot keep their excitement past ten keystrokes regardless of how excited they are." And this would be a scientific achievement.
No. What you want to comment on is the lamerz that feign excitement and yet cannot be bothered to A) keep their fingers pressed on the shift key, and B) check their goddamn work.
This is the significant comment that professional trollers have latched onto and absorbed as their own when they say things like, "Wo0t! Woo0t1!"!!
Yes! This IS a goddamn treatise on trollers. Yes, you are one. Yes, you and many others should be paying attention.
HAND. (Learn from the experts, fucker, you wanna be one, learn to live like one, happy to see you).
Oh, and if you think that I didn't GET IT because you already "knew all that" and you "purposefully mispelled in such a fashion as to gain interest" then I think there is one last step for you to learn.
That truck is sick popular recently. Don't you think that if Ford would have, in some magical way, let it be known that with a $150 (I don't have any idea what the cost might be) upgrade, or even provided it themselves, that you would get X amount of extra performance (measured in some unspecified way)... that that would have been a good idea? (I mean, made it even more popular)
They can make commercials,
"F150... you know it. It kicks ass."
Then, on the website preorder (or with the sharks at the dealers), hookup with aftermarket manifold for extra HP.
We bought it cheap. It doesn't deserve a refund. All of the 30 sticks lasted for a while before dying. That's the scariest part about the whole deal. Who would have thought that chips would be a short-term purchase?
It actually reminds me of the Japanese flag, not HAL. But now that you mention it, no, it doesn't remind me much of HAL, it still makes me think of the Japenese flag.

Jesus Christ man. You should have read for content instead of just skimmed before you flamed away.
All your information about how much tech WalMart uses to function does not change the fact that the OP was correct in saying that WalMart is not "rooted in technology... as much as, say, Dell..."
I have shopped at WalMart once in my life. I bought some foldable camping chairs. I would have a GODDAMN HARD TIME buying foldable camping chairs from Dell or HP, don't you think?

What if I was playing chess on the bed and someone came and jumped on the bed and knocked some of the pieces onto the covers?
Huh, what kind of move is that, huh? Knight to pillow3? Not illegal like I'm going to get thrown in jail (I hope, chess is strict).
What does Goody-Godel have to say about that?
Yeah you DESERVE A -1!
You're the same as a crap flooder with your humorous followups.
I'm glad the moderators are smoking crack again, it's always nice to know things haven't changed much from day to day.
Oh, yeah?
U shuld h4ve speeled it: whining!
Whinging is p0mpus and br1t!!

Ain't that the truth.
As a matter of fact, I didn't even need to read the second line of your post!
I did anyway, though. Stupid me. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised but DAMN so predictable.
Don't you mean "scribbled"?

When the moderators are idiots.

Space bars used to get broken a lot.
Find another sig.
GODDAMMIT
I moderated the pithy guy before you "funny"!!!
I woulda gave you more for typing so fucking much!
We bought it cheap. It doesn't deserve a refund. All of the 30 sticks lasted for a while before dying. That's the scariest part about the whole deal. Who would have thought that chips would be a short-term purchase?
Whatever.
Sorry about the delay in response.
Can you believe I lost a point for this?
lost a point lost a point lost a point

It actually reminds me of the Japanese flag, not HAL. But now that you mention it, no, it doesn't remind me much of HAL, it still makes me think of the Japenese flag.
It's cheap RAM. I can't remember the manufacturer name.
I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you were ready for a project.

What kind of fucktard are you?
Verizon Guy?
Are you getting paid for this?
I have 30 sticks of 512 MB RAM that has tested bad with memtest86. We don't want to use them even with the badram patch.
Want to buy them?

I knew you were joking.
Unfortunately, you just lost all the cool points you gained for using "sass" in a joke by following it up with an explanation and an apology.
You're just going to have to try again someday, I guess.
*sigh*
