Hehe... I used to think of myself as mature... then I started laughing at the idea of an 80 year old woman ripping one and am still chuckling now.
Damnit.

Well, as much as I applaud you for wanting to get your... brats... off the grill, isn't it a little cruel to launch them 160 feet into the air after a traumatic experience like that?
DUDE! Rock ON! Werewolves? Vampires? Hot tits and ass? YES!
Seriously guys, lighten up a little... it's a bunch of eyecandy. Explosions, jumping 80 feet in the air, car chases, sex... Christ, whaddya want, a plot? You watch this movie on the level you watch a porno. Don't cheapen it by looking for more.
See guys... doesn't it feel good to bring yourself down an intellectual notch for 2 hours of your life? It won't kill you, and it may get you laid.
By the way... watch Ronin. Another terrible movie, but it has the best car chase scene ever. Ever. Oh, and The Musketeer. Awesome swordfights, awful movie. As a matter of fact, just fast-forward through both of them to get to the good parts.
You should have seen what happened to those programs before they were fixed. Your insurance will cover a $42,949,672.95 bill for a 65535 day hospital stay won't it?
And to think, it only took about 2 years for most businesses to fix a problem that could have been avoided by making dates 8 digits long in the first place...
ROFL Overly Critical Guy. Judging by your comments you should rename yourself Just Critical Enough Guy. I've added you to my friends list, keep up the good work! (Until you get modded down enough that your account is worthless, anyway.)
Hell yeah. Only problem is, one bad user can ruin a tech for everyone else.
One user didn't like it when I told her that I couldn't send her a Win98 CD, so she called up Customer Service and told them I insulted her and made her cry and demanded that I be fired on the spot. The call wasn't recorded, and my company's policy is to belive the customer before the employee, so when I came into work the next day all my stuff was packed up in a box. Only after poking holes in her lies with other evidence, timestamps, previous calls, etc., AND treatening legal action against the company did I save my job. I wanted to punch each and every user I talked to in the face for the next month.
This kind of thing happens on a daily basis. Well, maybe not to that level, but enough to keep our supervisors busy anyway. Half of the people that come on leave of their own free will within a couple weeks to go back to a job that pays half of what this one pays. Then again, I work for a shitty ISP whose main userbase is the scum of the earth from every backwoods trailer park in the US that other ISPs won't touch. This allows us to provide terrible service that customers continue to pay for because there isn't any other choice.
I've gotten over that, but I've also gotten over thinking of the people I talk to as human beings, because they certainly don't think of me as one. I couldn't give less of a fuck what someone calls me over the phone. I also couldn't give less of a fuck when someone wishes me a nice day, because I know the second I tell them something they don't want to hear they're either going to turn hostile or try to get me to feel sorry for them. I smile a little when some retard deletes something important, but I'm careful not to let it show in my voice.
Hehe... I have that on my desk at work. I got it while we were going through the toughest part of unionizing and people were getting fired for any reason they could think of. It must have killed management that I'm never late and never screw up. I just testify against them. They still want to fire me:)
No way. I'm sticking around 'till they move the center next year. 6 months severance beyotch!
If 50% of the workers at a non-unionized shop decide to unionize, that job is now a union job. A union can have an open or closed shop, and it is entirely up to them. Most choose closed. If it is closed, any employee in that job position must be a union worker. If the company tries to replace that department with an outsourcing company or open another shop elsewhere, they just broke the law and will most likely have to move the work back to where it originally was and pay back wages plus government fines.
Unions do have power. I don't understand why more tech workers don't unionize.
I was up late, grumpy, and sick of the staggering amount of reality disconnects in the world today. You got the brunt of my frustration. Now go out and share it with everyone else!
The poor can feed themselves in the US. If you're that hard up, walk into a grocery store and eat 'till you're full. What are they going to do, arrest you and feed you three squares a day and put a roof over your head?
I can't belive my ears when I hear a salesperson pitching an LCD as a gaming display, and I can't believe my eyes when the sheep actually LOOKS at the LSD-flashback-inducing thing, nods, and shells out the $700.
Some people would mortgage their house for razorblade underwear if someone told them it looked sexy.
OK, I'll provide you with unlimited internet access, all the bandwith you can handle. All you need to do is pay the 100 unionized (read: expensive) workers and 10 internet backbone qualified (read: very expensive) techs it will take to build and maintain the connection.
Oh yeah, don't forget, if you want your traffic to leave my network you have to pay the backbones that carry your data to its destination.
Or, you could just quit whining about something you know nothing about and continue paying the $40 a month you pay now that barely pays for your service. Oh, wait. You're a slashbot. You have SETI-at-home and Gnuella running 24/7, and Gentoo RC3 just came out. You're probably costing your ISP money, and it's your grandparents that use their high speed internet access to check their e-mail that are actually paying for your service and theirs.
Why don't we just go to metered internet access? You can pay your bill of $150/month and your grandparents can pay $20/month.
Or you could just shut up and console yourself with the fact that they are paying for your internet access with the Social Security money they started getting at 65 that you won't see 'till you're 80 if ever.
There are also far too many insecure losers who take offense whenever somebody mentions the word stupid within their hearing range. Get a life and shut the hell up until somebody personally calls you stupid.

There's a debate going on right now here.
Well, just look at the ratio of men:women on:not on antidepressants.

If you're a sysadmin, you had better be a programmer, or you won't be a good sysadmin.

Well, an industrial welding laser is about 10W. This is about 190 times more powerful.

It's all monotone now.
Yes?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S GREAT!
A few tips for the next time you post something though...
You're a moron. Go watch a CAL-M tournament sometime and then say something.
Wrong.

ROOOOAR!

I don't think it matters. Ever had your underwear ride up on a hot day?
These ride all the way up.
Blech. I just grossed myself out real bad (mental picture). I wasn't going to submit this, but if I have to suffer, you do too.
Two buttons... BUAHAHAHA! My seven buttons owns your pansy 2 buttons!
ROFL! I hope that double-entendre was intentional, because if it wasn't I'm afraid you've been spending way too much time in front of the computer...
