  1. Geek Guide to Dating on Some Geek Guides for Dating · · Score: 5, Funny

    Get yourself a subscription to The Spice Channel and a 12 pack. It's about as close as you need to get. I know what I'm talking about here, I'm married and it's Valentine's Day and I'm going to go broke before the day is over.

  2. Re:Too bad for Gollum on Oscar Nominations (LotR, Spirited Away, and more) · · Score: 5, Funny

  3. Re:Now what people would buy... on Sim-Dud? · · Score: 1

    My favorite method was to get a few people in a house, pause the game, and remove all windows and doors. Then you could just let 'em starve to death slowly. Or you could set off a rocket in the middle of the living room and watch 'em burn.

  4. Re:Thank you Sony on Sony Proudly Rolls Out Spyware/Restrictions System · · Score: 1

    I've actually been actively REPLACING all my Sony equipment for the past 18 months or so. And that's not trivial since I have a full-blown home theater. I'm down to a single piece of Sony equipment in my house - A $99, three-year-old VCR. I've replaced over $10,000 worth of equipment. And I called/wrote letters to let them know. They didn't seem to care.

  5. Re:Spread of US "culture" on The Last Place · · Score: 1

    It was definitely here in the 70's, I remember drinking it then. Haven't actually seen it in years though. Not sure if it's no longer available or just gotten really really hard to find.

  6. This is trivial on Computers That Thrive in Salty, Humid Environments? · · Score: 2

    Just get one of these.

    Honestly, do I have to do everything around here?

    It's dialling AT&T Broadband, to upgrade to the 3Mbps "Pr0n Lover's" tier.

  8. Re:I did, once on ACLU Files New DMCA Challenge · · Score: 1

    reluctance of your average joe to support charities

    Massachusetts just repealed the Income Tax exemption for charitable donations. That should help motivate people to give, eh? Oh, wait...

  9. Re:The "Moon": A Ridiculous Liberal Myth on FBI Arrests 4 College Interns For Stealing Lunar Materials · · Score: 1

    there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950

    It's amazing what people will go through just to get their rocks off.

    But, if they happen to see some contraband while inside, it is not admissable evidence

    Correct, and in fact I think this is true even if they have a warrant. I have a friend who bought a house that was apparently previously owned by a felon. The police occasionally show up asking about the guy, and my friend kept telling them he sold them the house and moved away (why the police couldn't verify this on their own I have no idea, home sales are public records). In any case, one day the cops showed up with a warrant to search the house for this guy. They let them in, and sitting in the middle of the coffee table was something we affectionately called "FrankenBong". The cops saw it, said something to the effect of "You really should't be doing that, but we can't touch it", and left.

    This is in Massachusetts, I don't know if this was state-specific or not.

  12. Re:Check and Balances on Prime Minister ... ha ha on Crypto Restrictions Are Taking Over the World · · Score: 2, Funny

    You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! I mean, if I went around saying I was an Emperor because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, people would put me away!

    (Sorry, somehow the "not installed by a judiciary" triggered this in my brain)

  13. Re:Well I wouldn't buy a DVD for extra footage... on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 1

    Thanks - 4 responses, and one answer! That's all I wanted to know.

  14. Re:Well I wouldn't buy a DVD for extra footage... on Extra Scenes in FotR Special Edition DVD · · Score: 2

    Still, no Tom Bombadil. *sigh*

    I keep hearing this over and over... Anyone interested in filling in someone who hasn't (and probably won't) read the books? Even if I do eventually read the books I don't mind a spoiler since, well, I've already seen the movie at this point...

    On a positive note maybe our L&H t-shirts will be worth something on eBay some day.

    Naaaaaaaaah.

    They were probably concerned it was going to fry the machine somehow, thus destroying evidence.

    I already have a wife to do this for me.

  19. Re:True story on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 1

    those who follow the herd and say, "VB is an idiot's language," have never even tried VB.

    Actually I've been using it (along with Visual C++) professionally for 6 years, I feel quite qualified to say "it's garbage".

  20. True story on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I discovered that Visual Basic has a bug where it turns otherwise comptent programmers into drooling incompetent weenies. Our solution was to take these people and put them into marketing.

  21. Re:Sound Familiar? on XBox + UltimateTV for $500 · · Score: 2

    I'm still pissed I never found the "Windows-and-Ham-Sandwich" bundle that Monkey-Boy Ballmer was talking about. I want that sandwich damnit!

  22. Just downlaoded it on First Reviews of Mozilla 1.0 Roll In · · Score: 1, Redundant

    There seems to be a glitch with unordered HTML lists where the bullet on the first item appears a line above the first item. Been there all along, but I had kind of hoped it would be fixed by now.

  23. Re:On D-VHS and D-Theater on D-VHS to Hit The Market This Week · · Score: 2

    DVDs have market edge on D-VHS (and a few other technological advantages including durability)

    When I first bought my DVD player, the biggest thing I loved about it was that I would never need to rewind a movie again. I can't go back now. That's an advantage that no kind of tape is ever going to have.

    But if it's on pay-per-view, you damn well better not invite any of your friends to watch. Unless, of course, each one pays the license fee to watch Jack burn.
