  1. Re:WTF is Boxen? on EFF's Logfinder · · Score: 1
    Boxen is from Brian Regan stand-up

    Here's the transcript...

    Plurals were hard, too.

    "Brian, how do you make a word a plural?"

    "You put a 's'...put a 's' at the end of it."

    "When?"

    "On weekends and holidays."

    "No, Brian. Let me show you." So she asked this kid who knew everything. Irwin. "Irwin, what's the plural for ox?"

    "Ox. Oxen. The farmer used his oxen."

    "Brian?"

    "What?"

    "Brian, what's the plural for box?"

    "Boxen. I bought 2 boxen of doughnuts."

    "No, Brian, no. Let's try another one. Irwin, what's the plural for goose?"

    "Geese. I saw a flock of geese."

    "Brian?"

    [Exasperated laughing]"Wha-a-at?"

    "What's the plural for moose?"

    "Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of 'em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods...in the wood-es...in the woodsen. The meese want the food in the woodesen...food is the eatenesen...the meese want the food in the woodesenes...food in the woodesenes."

    "Brian. Brian! You're an imbecile."

    "Imbecilen!"

    "What? Are you speaking German, Brian?"

    "German...Germaine...Germaine...Jackson...Jackson 5...Tito!"

    "Brian, what the hell are you talking about?"

    "I don't know. I don't know, really."

  3. 5 on 5 on Theater Morphing Into Multi-Player Gaming Arena · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now something I think would be cool would to hook up some EASports NBA Live or NBA2k3 on multitap. If you can sit in a big theatre and play a pickup basketball game on a huge screen with 9 other people, I think it can be pretty decent. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm fscking out of shape and white. Plus, it would be cool to drink (if you could) during it.

  4. Now we're getting lazy on Theater Morphing Into Multi-Player Gaming Arena · · Score: 1

    When the gaming center opens in January, there also will be video screens of varying sizes hanging from the walls so gamers and spectators can view several different contests at once.

    Sweet, now I don't even have to play! I can pay to watch other people play!

    Yeah that site is pretty sad. It makes me not like christmas.

    I think Flash is good for games on the web, but thats pretty much it.

  6. Re:One connection per second? on Throttling Computer Viruses · · Score: 1

    Good point. The only thing I can think that would help is

    The idea, then, is to limit the rate at which a computer can connect to new computers, where "new" means those that are not on a recent history list.

  8. I'd pay anything for broadband on FCC Clears Comcast Purchase Of AT&T Broadband · · Score: 1

    If the prices for Comcast cable modem went up and such, at least hopefully some people in my neihborhood would cancel it to free up some KaZaaing.

  11. Re:C# .Net on Re-Tooling Your Skills for the Future? · · Score: 1

    Oh, I wasn't saying it was .NET's fault for lack of sales for this particular company. That would just make no sense. Obviously, .NET is an improvement over MS previous languages. I should have said that maybe businesses are not ready to embrace it yet.

    I job I recently interviewed for develops web apps in classic ASP. They recently created one of their available apps in .Net, but I was told it was not selling well at all.

    This may be offtopic, but has anyone seen these ridiculous commercials for the DVD release? "Yodaman!" and some other garb while they show Yoda jump around. I don't know, just makes the movie seem like a joke.
