  1. Let's see... Where to start from? on Life At Full Sail - The Gamer School · · Score: 2, Funny

    Are you the type of person that dreams about getting into the gaming industry, but doesn't know where to start from?

    I usually tend to start on the other side of that trailing preposition, there, Coach Z.

  2. Robotic RealDoll with AI on Ideas for High School Computer Club Activities? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Um, well, you're in a High School Computer Club. I'm guessing that you don't get laid all that often. And I'm guessing that you'd like to get laid, you just lack the, er, social skills. If your club buys a RealDoll and adds a skeletal robot to it, then implements a functional AI system using, I dunno, Lisp or something, then you'll all be able to get laid, and learn about computer stuff at the same time. Well, not the exact same time, but you know what I mean. You can program her to do all sorts of fun things. Hell, she's got three holes! That leaves open the possibility for Computer Club Gangbangs!

    Um, is your club looking for new members?

    Posting anonymously for obvious reasons, eh? I'm guessing that you know from experience, having sold your soul to the dark leader to allow your telecommunications company the power to buy out all of the others and charge the minions more than their penance worth. Isn't that right, Mr. President and CEO of Comcast Communications?

  4. As if it's not already too much? on Cable Modem Tax Proposed by FCC · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When I signed up for AT&T broadband, the pricing was $34.95 for service, $10.00 for modem rental. I bought a modem, so my monthly bill was $34.95. After 6 months or so, ATTBI decided to restructure their pricing to $42.95 for service, $3 for rental. In essence, they were extorting an extra $7 per month from their most loyal customers (the ones who made the investment in hardware) while not affecting the renters who had no financial investment and could leave at any time.

    Then along came the Comcast buyout of ATTBI. The very same week, I got a letter from Comcast alerting me that they had noticed that I was a cable internet customer, but not a cable television or long distance customer. As such, my broadband internet price would jump from $42.95 to $57.95. That is, of course, unless I opted to sign up for their cable television service, in which case I could keep the "bargain" price of $42.95. I don't want Cable TV (hell, I know I already get it due to the way the technology works).

    So my cable bill has made two jumps since January, from $34.95 to $42.95 to $57.95. That's a total increase 65.8% since then! 66%! Why did my bill gone up 66% over four months? Did the cost of providing me that service really go up that much?

    Add 9.1% to $57.95, and we're up to $63.22 - that's an 80.90% increase in the cost of my service since last December!

    Imagine if the cost of everything else went up 81%. That $20,000 car would be $36,200. A gallon of milk would jump from $1.50 to $2.72. Gasoline would jump from $1.60 per gallon to $2.9 per gallon. And my sallary would increase by roughly 2%. Now, I'm not an accountant, but I think I can see that if my salary increased by 2% and the cost of living increased by 81%, I wouldn't be doing too well.

    While the hops themselves smell pretty bad, I like the sell of the wort as it's brewing. The house smells warm and cozy, with an oaty, grainy smell. It's rather pleasant.

    You know what, Stuart, I LIKE YOU. You're not like the other people, here, in the trailer park.
    Oh, don't go get me wrong. They're fine people, they're good Americans. But they're content to sit back, maybe watch a little Mork and Mindy on channel 57, maybe kick back a cool, Coors 16-ouncer. They're good, fine people, Stuart. But they don't know ... what the queers are doing to the soil!
    You know that Johnny Worker kid, the kid that delivers papers in the neighborhood. He's a fine kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it.
    Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a Burrow Owl. Kept bugging his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live." So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl.
    Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's the Worker kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "What are you looking for?" He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl." I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick. Everybody knows the burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?" Now Stuart, do you think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are doing to the soil?
    I first became aware of this about ten years ago, the summer my oldest boy, Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival comes into town every year? Well this year they came through with a ride called The Mixer. The man said, "Keep your head, and arms, inside the Mixer at all times." But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying "Hey everybody, Look at me! Look at me!" Pow! He was decapitated! They found his head over by the snow cone concession.
    A few days after that, I open up the mail. And there's a pamphlet in there. From Pueblo, Colorado, and it's addressed to Bill, Jr. And it's entitled, "Do you know what the queers are doing to our soil?"
    Now, Stuart, if you look at the soil around any large US city where there's a large underground homosexual population. Des Moines, Iowa, for an example. Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on, Stuart. I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to God.
    You know what, Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other people, here in this trailer park.
