Apple's new iGun provides safe, encrypted personal security. The stylish clip holds 9 cartridges and over 400 songs.

Microsoft EULA details: "You must have a pre-existing orifice before you can upgrade to Microsoft Orifice 2006". Do not attempt to tear yourself a new one. Only WE can tear you a new one." [I accept] [I do not accept] {I don't need your steenkin' orifices.. as it were]
In EPA tests, the vehicle was found to get 0.3 mile per bean (MPB). This assumes no extra tacos were consumed by the driver and that the driver does not take Beano. Your mileage may vary depending on brand, as Hunt's is equivalent to standard, Van Camp's midgrade, Heinz is premium, and B&M Baked is only allowed within Boston city limits and not before a Celtics game. This information has been provided by the American Bean Council. Got Bean?
The solution is to strategically locate containers of lutefisk around the vault. There are some things even weevils, cockroaches and rats cannot stand to eat, and mankind will be the better for it. Y'all ever been to Minnesota?
This is so true. I can't begin to count the number of times I've made an accidental discovery in my shorts that I was not intentionally seeking. Ooops. Thinking out loud again. When will I learn...?
This of course leads to the obligatory lines, "Thank you for flying with HP Airlines. I'm Miss Goodbint, and I'll be your data server on this flight. Please ignore the vast sucking noises coming from the rack, they're normal. In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, strange little yellow masks will pop out of the equipment so your data center technicians don't asphyxiate."
All valid. However, typos from being in too much of a hurry are quite different from being lazy or not knowing correct spelling and grammar. I don't believe the 'hobbiest' guy knew the distinctions, and I still stand by my comments about continual misspellers who ignore correctness. Is it the school system? iPods? Aspartame? Cell phone radiation? I 'dunno'.
Certainly, one case of misspelling is not a really big thing. Everybody misspells once in awhile. That's not what this is all about, for me anyway. What it's all about is people who don't get things right that others do, and that is what bothers me. There is no way in hell I want to inherit code written by someone who doesn't care about details. I don't want eye surgery from someone who is sloppy. And I don't like to knowing that millions of TV-watching voters are too lazy to check the details, so they vote in smiling lying frauds who bankrupt us while not being able to keep us safe. It's what the misspelling represents, the cultural attitude, not the one piddly mispelling. [unmount soapbox; remount normal drive]. There.
'hobbiest' is an illiteracy, and should be avoided. But then, too many lazy techies use stupid illiteracies unquestioningly, like saying "the media" to refer to a single object, when 'media' is plural. And then these illiteracies propagate unstoppably. For example, back in the Amiga days, the computer used a custom chip codenamed "Agnes" after somebody's girlfriend. Except some brainless frickmonkey misspelled it "Agnus" in a magazine article, which then viruslike took over usage as other brainless frickmonkeys repeated it while not bothering to question it. (At least Agnes was spelled correctly in the Amiga OS source code.) I'm sure someone will misspell 'monkey' as as 'monkie' while replying, too. [hitting my head with a brick because it feels so much better than fighting the unwashed hordes. It's Chinatown, Jake, forget about it. Sigh.]
I'm not addicted to porn. I could have stopped *any time* I wanted to since puberty, in the last 45 years. I'll demonstrate right now... stopping...stopping... almost stopping...almost stopping..trying to stop... trying... ARGGGGGGHHH! ARGGGGGHHHH! Give me BACK my pictures of Cmdr Taco, the bearskin rug, and the bullwhip. NOW! {quiver} {pant} Damn your soft, succulent lips, Rob Malda!
If the automakers could use titanium in cars to reduce weight it would be great. However, titanium is notoriously hard to metal-work, and so auto crash repair would be very difficult for independent auto shops and probably dealers too. BMW has this problem right now. But my bet is that automakers will be forced to use it someday to improve gas mileage. Gosh, I want my new titanium Hummer IV. Although affordable titanium bicycles would be really nice too.
I always knew the government was sending me secret signals through walls. UWB proves the CIA really does give me those disturbing dreams about hot dogs chasing donuts and packets from hell in my network. I'm not paranoid. Hey. Why are you pointing a Pringles can at me? Help!!
I don't wish to disturb the gravity of this situation, but *I* enjoy clubbing cute little rubber seals... what?..oh, THAT kind of seals. Never mind.
P.S. I understand it's harder to have an orgasm using a horizontal-load washer than a top-loader. Not that this is relevant to the environment or anything. But I like noting it.
Today, Detroit auto engineers announced they were shocked that anyone would ever get angry over buying a lemon. "It has so many parts, we can't be responsible for everything that happens!" said Ernest Gumption, designer.
In unrelated news, an SUV carrying eight auto engineers home after work rolled over and burst into flames, killing everyone. Rescuers tried but failed to save the life of driver Ernest Gumption, who perished in agony.
Outside of being tasteless to the point of obscenity, the big question is, will it be ready for PS3 in time for the fall rollout? Sony executives might as well add yet another disaster to high pricing, Blu-Ray, and slow-to-market. Mass murder would fit right in.

Gee, I look forward to being greeted by Microsoft Bob telling me to bite his shiny metal ass.

Step 1. In emergency, overwrite data with Chinese porn.
Step 2. Actually, there's no need for step 2.

This is, of course, nothing compared to the giant methane cloud, near the Flatus galaxy, in the Delta Quadrant. Even Klingons won't go there.

In related news, Intel has succeeded in grafting a chalupa onto a dual core Pentium. Which explains their new sales slogan: "Eat THIS, AMD!"
Remember, always walk away if the clerk asks "Would you like fries with that repair job?"

Er, Windows users?
Sure! Give me your laptop and a hammer and I'll whip one up in a jiffy!
No, not useless. The first guy to invent a fat ass-cloaking device for women will make billions, except in the hip hop community.

I'm planning to create cars that run on armpit bacteria. See, then taxicabs in New York City could run forever without a fill-up.
