Porn isn't as much a distraction as much as it it self-torture. Have you got any idea how cruel it is to bring porn to college, watch it, get all randy of it and then look around you an realize you're spending the better part of the day with 28 sweaty geeks and a girl whose mass is only rivaled by the mass of the Eurasian tectonic plate? Of course personality is more important then looks but if I'd start about her personality she'd be off WORSE. So all in all, porn at college isn't the brightest idea. However, games are an entirely different story!
IAACGWAL ( I am a college guy with a laptop ) and I can honestly say those things are nearly useless during class. They require boot time, which is wasted time. They also require juice considering they don't run on air and a random day at college lasts 8 hours for me. I haven't heard of ANY laptop with an 8 hours battery life and the idea of 30 people rushing for the nearest electrical outlet every 2 hours is plain silly. Also, laptops aren't very versatile for writing down stuff in a hurry. The programs given are very limited and using them can feel very unnatural at times. That whole issue might be solved by those tablet PCs with the pen thingy, which is far more suitable for jotting down notes and what not.
For college, nothing rocks more then a good pen and a good notepad with pre-perforated and lined paper. Though laptops would still rock, especially with WLANs. UT2k3 during dutch classes, anyone?
The Microsoft Corporation recently bought themselves the USS Enterprise (The aircraft carrier) and rechristened it to the MSCACDOTNET (Microsoft Certified Aircraft Carrier Dot NET ) "William Gates the Third". Latest US satelite intel indicated the ship, along with several other recent MS aquired warships due to a sneaky clause in the license for Windows 2003.NET server for the US navy, were last seen heading toward the Pacific. Among the ships are the MSACDOTNET William Gates the Third, the 'boomer' submarines MSC Alabama and MSC Red October along with a small flotilla of surface warships and a large convoy of freighters with Win 2k3.NET licenses, all heading for an unknown destination.
In other news, Denzel Washington and Sean Connery have been flogged with a wet towel.
As additions, I'd like to add Megatokyo, RPGworld Comic and 8-bit Theater. Also, I'd like to comment on Real Life Comics that it's cute, at times. Whenever the guy is completely obsessed with something painfully irrelevant to his readers and he continues to post shitty strips about it for weeks after, it's not cute. Really, I quit reading it after reading on and on for about three weeks about the guy whining about losing something irrelevant in a MMORPG and the fact he got a net girlfriend.
Ever heard of trains? Sure, getting a ticket for one of those might cost you some vital organs and a trip to the local pawn shop, but all that can be ignored by abusi- er, hmm... putting my student's card to "creative use". I've never had any problems with some Toyota in the parking spot of a train and I highly doubt it ever would be a problem were it to happen anyways.
Whatever the hell the Buffy fanbase consists off, it sure has got something I do not: mod points. I wasn't even flaming! Though that would have been fun and pissing of all the Buffy fans would have beeen immensely hilarious...
Just because YOU think the series is the next best thing in the world, it might not be all that great after all. Personally, I think Buffy the series is beyond crap, at best. It's like watching Matrix Reloaded. I just don't fcking GET IT! That, and there's always a small legion of bozos around who claim that I'm the idiot for "not getting it" and that I should see all the previous episodes to understand and appreciate it.
True art is something which will always be remembered for the amount of creativity, effort and passion that was poured into something. Elvis Presley's music is art; I can't stand hearing it but it's art. In one hundred years people will still know about Elvis Presley, same thing for the Rolling Stones and Queen. Stanley Kubrick (sp?) is an artist too, even though I can't stand his movies either. You don't have to like something for it to be deserving of anything, and the reverse is true as well; as soon as YOU like something doesn't mean it automatically is the next best thing since sliced bread.
I think I'm lost in the world of IT about what PIM, groupware and all that actually do, what applications they got in this world (both in professional and personal use) and how these technologies improve our current situation?
Maybe google.co.in has to comply to DMCA rules because Google simply is an american company? That's part of doing busines in other countries; you have to comply to both your own country's laws as well as to laws applicable in the current country. I'd imagine non-US search engines with non-US hosted servers would point and laugh at the silly DMCA extortion and wait for the obligatory lawsuit instead.
Oranjeboom is vile and nasty; I highly doubt it's even beer officially. Nor terrestrial. I'd prefer drinking mud, magma or sulphuric acid over Oranjeboom anyday. Anyways, to compensate for Oranjeboom, there's Hertog Jan, which is one excellent beer. Rich taste, yet not too heavy on the stomach not do you have to sell yourself into prostitution to be able to afford it. Quality! Also, exported Heineken is SHIT compared to normal Heineken which we got here in Europe. (or possibly just the Netherlands)
Any article about beer that fails to refer to the culmination of hundreds of years of brewery, experimentation, blind luck and dedicated alcoholism known as "Palm Speciale" (or Heineken, which tastes great too and allows me to live on with both kidneys when consuming large quantities) is as immoral an unethical as things could possibly get, a true crime against humanity! Eris bless the Belgians for this fine contribution to the world! Also, some BSDs make for excellent beer comparisons; such as OpenBSD and "Kasteelbier" (castlebeer, when translated. Dutch stuff, quite strong and capable of flattening many a braggart) for obvious reasons.
If anyone is smart enough to write a good virus, chances are they are also smart enough NOT to use it at all and instead prove their worth by doing useful stuff.
Aha! There you are wrong! I happen to know a grand total of... Three women doing IT in the same college as me, possibly four! (Don't ask.) Now, one of those is only still at college because she begged her way through, one of them isn't the brightest nor most active person around (Which makes her the PERFECT Windows sysadmin manager!) and the latter one is a combo between a raver, a goth and er.. something tiny. But she's clever and she talks more then I do. Not to mention she's going for the whole software engineer thing I believe, after she's done with college.
As for how they look; no comment. Just trust me on the fact you won't find anyone at my college for the women. Except for perhaps another department, but that's in an entirely different building. Bastards.

I so care about the opinion of a random nobody on the internet. Really.

If he did, two minutes of reading slashdot would be enough to drive the guy to suicide.

- Offer MS products at cheapo prices.
- Get students hooked on MS products.
- Wait untill they aren't students anymore and cough up the full price.
- PROFIT!
