As an adult, I'd say that I'd be a lot more motivated to drop the ridiculous amount of cash for entrance to the park if they would launch the actual Disney characters themselves instead of these boring fireworks. Who cares if they do it with compressed air or explosives?! Pumpkins are cool and all, but man, I'd go every weekend to see Chip 'n Dale getting blasted all to hell...
I hope we aren't cooking. I already can't use my laptops on my lap for more than 10 minutes before my legs and 'ahem' - parts - are uncomfortably warm, if not in pain. I'm completely happy to have less battery time to afford a fan for cooler running. My weiner will be wearing a bumper sticker reading - 'Cool Cells, Not Fuel Cells'.
This is the exact reason why we NEED genetic engineering - to fix these kinds of horrible naturally occuring problems. If we let this mutant decaf species breed with the caffeinated ones, and the caffeine gene turns out to be recessive, we'll all have to get our caffeine from chocolate. Imagine a world where every woman weighs 40 lbs. more than they do right now, a world where most coders and geeks are the size of small pickup trucks, and where Hershey bars and M&M's are priced higher than gasoline in California.... this is a crisis in the making, people. Go buy stock in Genentech and if you EVER see a decaf coffee plant, kick its ass.
Don't get me wrong, I'm totally stoked if Apple rolls out new models, faster processors, etc. but the irony of my $2500 upgrade coming with another non-scrolling mouse just pisses me off. When is Apple going to stop forcing us to purchase basic peripherals? Great design, fabulous interface..... and 3 years too late on the scrolling mouse bandwagon.
I went to the Midnight showing of the latest Harry Potter and after finding out that people had been standing in line since 6:00 PM (6 HOURS?!? Jeeze...) I decided to go see Kill Bill Vol 2. But as I came out of my flick, I saw that the lines going into Harry Potter were having all bags searched and people being frisked. One geeky looking character was asked by the security folk to accompany a theater official to the office and was forcibly ejected from the theater about 20 minutes later.
When I talked to him in the parking lot, he said they had confiscated his DV camera, taken his picture and ID'd him, and threatened to arrest him. Turns out he was a college student who apparently has been successful at this in the past.
Guess an evening at the movies will involve the rubber glove treatment for anything on opening night from now on. As if the forcible gropings at the airport aren't enough...

Seriously, who reads those ads? I say take Microsoft's money and run. If they are handing over the cash, the income will outweigh the loss of a few morons who are swayed by lame advertising on random websites.
Damn. What is it with these nice muslim women getting all gangsta like. First you are buying pirated DVD's, next you'll be looking for your other kidney in a back alley shop. It's almost like Amish Gone Bad, or whatever that documentary was called.

What a perversion.... I'm going back to getting my Cuisenart to run Debian. - B

Greaaat... how am I going to get over the humiliation of getting my ass kicked by a 5 year old?!? I'm staying inside from now on - not worth the risk.
I bought a mac.

Yeah, I think you should try making a wooden gun and getting on a plane too. Let me know how it goes for ya. --

Man, I'm sure looking forward to the day where my MP3 player can get viruses and spread spam around the world just like my computer.

Re: I can't wait that long.
I DIDN'T wait that long. =)

This wouldn't be an issue if ya'll would just 'switch.' j/k (grin)
