Think of this little war-driving monster, pre-loaded with linux, all of your favorite tools on an external hard-drive, along with 200 gig of mp3s, and your off to the races. Just put up a miniature screen where your car stereo was, and roll with it. It is even small enough to fit in the space where you took the old stereo out! If you have one of those cars with the 4" tall stereo in the dash you even have room for the inverter, a small stereo amplifier and the warts in the dash.
Get those mouse fingers ready! This might even be a good time to invest in a pile of expendable mice as there is going to be a run on them with in a week of the game coming out.
You have been rendered a harmless, mouth breathing, citizen of the coastal lands, please do not annoy us with these back stock requests further. Do, however, take advantage of your new idiot status to actually be able to enjoy the X-box.
Someone who for the trade of taking some of the other junk hardware off your hands (the company may pay a fee in here somewhere, but its the responsible thing to do) he will give you a stack of identical old hp's, with ata 133 cards for each, and even an extra nic so they can all be channel bound...
Think of the power if you have 8 2 ghz hp desktops sitting in a channel bound stack with 8 drives a piece in them? Then just make all of them boot off the same linux image, or do seven hard drives and a modded Ubuntu live cd in each and your ready to rock!
Christianity
The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your lord and master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Which is the shit (sorry), why was this the first think I thought of...
Gozer: The Choice is made!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Whoa! Ho! Ho! Whoa-oa!
Gozer: The Traveller has come!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Nobody choosed anything!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Did you choose anything?
Dr. Egon Spengler: No.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did YOU?
Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.
Dr. Peter Venkman: *I* didn't choose anything...
Dr Ray Stantz: I couldn't help it. It just popped in there.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [angrily] What? *What* "just popped in there?"
Dr Ray Stantz: I... I... I tried to think...
Dr. Egon Spengler: LOOK!
Dr Ray Stantz: No! It CAN'T be!
Dr. Peter Venkman: What is it?
Dr Ray Stantz: It CAN'T be!
Dr. Peter Venkman: What did you DO, Ray?
Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!
Dr Ray Stantz: [somberly] It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
They always have these safety nets so they never get hurt, or take a risk, or bloody a knee. I know what I can do know =by learning then what I could not do. Basically it works out that I have a certain level I can obtain without going to extreme measures to achieve it, and knowing now where those extreme measures start in, I can actively stay below them. Right now I have a job in a new venture that is working well, I have a magazine started, which is going well, and I am thinking of where I want to move next with my life. I have limits, but I know that I am below them.
There are a lot of things that I would love to do with my life but I realize that a lot of those are just not reasonable without taking risks or making sacrifices that I cannot afford to take/make. I know I can write, and given enough time I know I could finish a book or a screenplay (please note, blogging and or/.ing does not show actual writing skills) and therefore I am skeptical about whether that would be a good direction to go. I love to paint and my art is very well received, but at the same time I am skeptical of my ability to make a career out of it.
I would love to build a sailboat and live on board as I float around, but I am skeptical of my ability to put all of that together and make it work within a reasonable amount of time. Therefore I am going to stick with the little apartments, and keep things simple and stress free until the opportunity arises to make a jump to something else and the opportunity overwhelms the skeptic.
Does he have to give up all the source code for what ever OS is on his laptop? What if your laptop contains emails made between you and your attorney under attorney client privilege, what if your laptop contains proprietary or confidential data that is being protected as a work in progress, ie scripts, drafts, other things that are protected from prying eyes for a reason.
I have nothing of any interest to anyone on my laptop other than a few 1960's chemistry books in pdf which I just find funny, and maybe a few cracked video games, possibly some downloaded music. But what I have on my computer is what I have on my computer. Thankfully I still don't think they are smart enough to look through the flash memory in your camera to see that you have 500 meg of documents backed up on your flash card.
They go after families and college students because it is easy, it is once you are out of college and into the higher ranks of the corporate world that they don't want to know who you are because then you have the resources to fight them. What fun would that be?
On the other hand I think that in five years we may be seeing the RIAA as little more than the SCO of the record industry, will have to wait and see.
Or does this mean that both Google and Microsoft are gathering their own Borg collectives. I am so confused. Someone get me a glass of water, something with a snazzy brand name please....
I have had a PayPal account since they had that send money with no fees promotion that my now ex-wife and her friend used to rack up a couple of thousand frequent flyer miles on each others WorldPerks cards.
I generally trust PayPal and I like the money market feature on my account, but it is not the only way to pay and it should not be set up that way. The world needs competition and it is going to hurt a lot of people who may just want to buy or sell one thing and don't want to set up an account for that one hassle to go through.
For some things PayPal is perfect, but not for everything. On websites where you have an actually established revenue stream and are not just selling one or two things a day I think it looks bad if you are running PayPal only. I recently backed out of a deal to buy a stack of sub woofers from a company because I didn't want to deal with the creation of a PayPal account on the business card for one transaction.
They lost out on a big sale, just because they were stuck with PayPal and PayPal only and I know that I am not the only one who responds to things this way.
Most of the rest of us get cheap inferior crap, lead poisoning, manufacturing sectors out-sourced, and jobs greeting people at Wal-Mart. I am not the least surprised by this China is on a bid to become the dominant super power through what ever means necessary, the only thing they have in their way is the United States (there are others above them, but not as far). Therefore by keeping tabs on and gradually infiltrating the US they advance their way to dominant status. I just wish some people other than us left-wing nutjobs would actually start looking at this and thinking about it.
I sat on one, luckily the screen was already cracked... I hate trying to type on the things, yeah, its nice to have google and what not at your fingertips everywhere you go but then again thats why we have this thing called a memory. I am going to say to hell with the iphone and all of that and stick with my thirty dollar mobile-virgin (like that ever happens) where if I break it or lose it, or drop it in the Pacific ocean and even after flushing it out all of the residual salt corrodes the circuit boards (done this) I can just go to the store and buy a new one.
I was also just thinking, wouldn't the MSPhone ask you to hang up so it could complete the call dialing process?
Just think I can have all kinds of people who had a dead uncle leave me millions of dollars in a Nepal lottery and now can't touch the money without offering me a job processing money orders for 50% of the take and a free bottle of Viagr14!!!!
Hey now, cocaine has given us lots of great things...
Lindsey Lohan, Stephen King, Robert Loius Stevenson. Do you really think that Jules Verne would have made it around the world in 80 days with out a little bump now and then? Come now people, don't knock Freud because of his cocaine habits, knock him because he made you remember that weird night when you were four when you walked in on your parents.
How the little ice age (obviously a Liberal Conspiracy) is being used as a cover up for the fact that the evidence for Global Warming (another Liberal Conspiracy) is not as strong as it should be. They will even have tapes of Hillary Clinton secretly meeting with representatives of the sun, and possibly be able to tie the whole thing together with the sunspots being stolen by terrorists who are planning an attack using solar flares on the Olympics in Beijing as the beginning of a new Jihad.
Copying video games from each other, we each had our disk of copy protection cracking software, some were better than others though. I had all the good games, moon patrol, Conan the Barbarian, Ms. Pac Man, Karateka, Serpentine, Q Bert, etc...
Ahh, those were the days, 1 megahertz processors, 64 kilobytes of ram (that swapped back and forth) and cracking software when the teacher wasn't looking.
Not bad for being in fourth grade (circa 1983)
I thought Prince gave you a +2 to androgyny/dexterity, and goatse.cx gave you a -2 to constitution, but it also does 3 damage to all characters within visual range.
I am not sure but I think even with the added damage I would stick with playing the Prince card.

With all of the hangers on and other assorted junkies orbiting around her some of them might be able to be considered planets.

Its a combination of both red and blue, and we have all witnessed what it has done for the Minnesota Vikings...
What do you call a Minnesota Viking with a Super Bowl ring?

Hrmph, Its Lindsey Lohan though... I'd frag her!
Actually he was drinking a certain "herbally enhanced" wine product available at the time.

That BIG RED BUTTON is not the any key. Please, please, just hit the space bar or something.
I still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes screaming "I think I can see his kidneys, my eyes, my eyes!"
