Simply mentioning porn and spelling it wrong on purpose is not humorous at all. I'm sure you have plenty of porn though, good for you.
Come up with something funny to say along with your porn that has almost nothing to do with the subject at hand next time.
Personally, I don't keep porn around. Just download some more from newsgroups or something.. why look at the same stuff over and over again? It's not like there's any real content to porn, just pretty pictures. Move on to new stuff... Keep things with content, like books and movies.
Because people are FUCKING STUPID.
Arbys and Taco Bell have both tried this, and people can't figure it out.
"Duh... I pushed taco and said my order was done, now it says to pay the cashier?? what do I do???"
WOW! I'm amazed at this technology, waiters simply looking at the glass and checking on their tables regularly would never work. I hope they come out with plates that somehow tell you when you're done chewing your food so people know when to swallow too.
Why do you listen to artists that only come up with a few songs that you like? Seems to me like you haven't found what you like if that's the case.
Also remember that buying downloads comes with DRM, and also leaves you without artwork or liner notes, or a physical object containing your product. Personally I'd rather go buy a cd single for a couple dollars if I only liked one song, get the packaging, and the disc, and make my own DRM free mp3s, or oggs, or whatever.
Plus you get a b-side song or two that way.
I usually download full albums, and then decide if I like them. If I do I look for used copies that are around $4-5 since that's what I'm willing to pay for a cd.
A new release is Metallica's St. Anger, downloaded it, hated it, not buying it. Nobody lost a dime in this other than me paying for the electricity to listen to it. Hey, electricity broke the DMCA! Time to shut down the power plants!
Type O Negative's Life Is Killing Me is another very new release, which I loved, (and I'm talking about the ALBUM, not a song here or there) and plan to buy it as soon as I can find it for a price I'm willing to pay. In the meantime they're going to get money from me when they come to town, because I'll be right up front at the show.
Why does everyone hate the Jedi Academy trilogy? I think they're some of the best, aside from Zahn's books of course. It seemed like the right way to go to me, Luke Skywalker training more Jedi... I thought the books were fun to read, had some of the humor the original movies had...
Neurons, not synapses. The synapse is just the gap between neurons, the signals go from neuron to neuron. Sure, technically it goes through all the neurons too, but if you took a bunch of transistors, hooked them together with wire, you'd say the transistors are doing the work, not the wire that connects them.
Just some helpful info.. people seem to think we actually have something in our heads that does work called a "synapse" when a synapse is just the point where two neurons connect. The signal comes off the terminals of one neuron, then goes across the gap (the synapse) to the dendrites of the next neuron.
It's not really a problem with other things, in my opinion.. they were filmed in 4:3 so you don't need anything different to watch them.
However, if everyone moved to widescreen, so would regular tv.
Widescreen fits your field of vision better, and really is nicer I think.. but no, at the moment there's not really a lot of TV that NEEDS to be shown in widescreen.
I see what you're saying, your surface area when you watch a letterboxed widescreen movie is about the same as an actual widescreen tv, however you're not getting full resolution with that solution. In the case of anamorphic DVDs, you're basically watching the movie scaled down, in lower res. to fit the screen.
That is one big problem with widescreen tvs though.. they're actually pretty little unless you get a huge one. In my opinion if I had a 35 inch 4:3 tv, to upgrade to widescreen I'd want one vertically the same or better. basically adding screen area to the sides.
Those 42 inch plasma tvs aren't even very big.. vertically they're not a lot bigger than 4:3 screens you wouldn't even call big.
The problem is that the black bars are part of the picture. You're seeing a 4:3 picture, of a 16:9 (or whatever) picture. You'd have to zoom in on the picture to make it fit in that case.
I have a 3 disc changer on my DVD player, so for movies with more than one disc, like LOTR, I just push a button and it switches discs.
Great for VCD/SVCD movies on multiple discs too.
For double sided DVDs, like the one I have of animated Spawn episodes from Wal-Mart's $5 bin, I have to open the tray, get up, switch to a different disc so I can get at the one I need to flip over, flip it, close the tray, switch back to that disc....
Sure it's not hard, but pushing one button is a lot easier, especially if the movie itself is on more than one disc. I can live with a bit of work for extras, but getting up in the middle of the actual movie is annoying.
Personally I spend money on music pretty regularly. I go see a lot of bands live, maybe buy a t-shirt, buy cds straight from the bands, etc...
I really don't see the problem with the RIAA trying to limit piracy, it's their tactics that suck. Kazaa for example has a lot of stuff traded on it that has absolutely nothing to do with the RIAA, yet they try to shut the whole thing down, and they're terrible hyocrites and can't see that they need to change their business model. I hardly even use cds anymore, and if I do they're mp3 cds. I have the means to use more convenient methods than having hundreds of cds laying around (and I HAVE hundreds, legally bought over the years.. not many from recent years, but hundreds nonetheless) so why the hell should I stick to overpriced media in a format I don't even like anymore?
They don't get with the times... people adapt, they're not. Tough shit if nobody wants to do business with the RIAA anymore. You might as well sue me if I grow food in my garden because I've decided it's nicer than paying for all my food already pre-grown. Not the same thing, sure, but it's a similar situation...
Of course I'm preaching to the choir here.
I think pay music can and should exist. They're obviously not learning how to SELL it though. Update the business model, get with the times, stop screwing over the bands (I won't get into that here, but they certainly do), and realise that most people don't want to spend nearly $20 for an hour's worth of content when there's so many hours of content out there to listen to.
Support your favorite bands by seeing them live. You'll probably even discover a lot of new music that way too.
I agree... to a point. Even if the ad doesn't influence you, it'll bring your attention to the advertiser. Obviously this is pretty pointless for Coke or Pepsi or common things like that.. for example, I bought a guitar recently, and ended up finding more places to buy one through ads or just plugs on guitar information websites than I really did on Google alone. That said, I usually don't give the sponsored ads much more than a glance at the most though.
Point is, even if you just glance at the ad, you'll know the name of the place, and you go from zero chance of buying from the place you don't know exists, to some sort of chance (even if it's next to zero) of you buying if you do know they exist.
DeCSS is a terrorist tool and should be stopped. We cannot allow people to terrorize the MPAA members (who are all poor and starving) like this.
Go get em PATRIOT act, watching Men In Black II without paying for it or ever having intention of paying for it in the first place is a serious crime. (to yourself! ever SEEN that POS?)
I'm not saying people have to like the same things I do, but if you don't like 80% of the music put out by a particular artist... why listen to them? Find someone you like 80%, not hate 80%... seems obvious enough to me.
Frankly, if you buy cds with only 1-2 songs you like, or even download only those 1-2 songs you like as mp3s, you have SHITTY taste in music. There's plenty of music out there where the entire disc is good.
Get away from all the pop BS that's on the radio and find some real music.
I used to have a link to a site full of pictures of a dead woman in various states of decay, being dissected. The URL had "nude" in it so I'd send it to perverts on ICQ. I never looked at it myself, but it has to be pretty vile from the reactions I got, worse than Goatse or Tubgirl for sure.
I don't buy cd's anymore anyway, more than I'm willing to pay, but I can probably count on one hand the number of those cds I'd ever want to even listen to.. the less players a lot of that plays in, the better in my opinion:P

www.americasarmy.com I really like it, you even tend to get less kids that act stupid on there, though they certainly exist.

Well... I have read about a man burning his penis and scrotum fairly severely from a laptop computer (through clothes)
So sterile may not be all ya get there.
Wish I could remember where I read that so it didn't sound so urban legendy, even though it probably still would/is.
I'm not saying people have to like the same things I do, but if you don't like 80% of the music put out by a particular artist... why listen to them? Find someone you like 80%, not hate 80%... seems obvious enough to me.

Oh come on, you can think of at least a few more outdated sites that don't really shock all that many people anymore to link to! Try a little harder!
64DD is real, actually came out in Japan. I think there was maybe 1-2 games for it.. nobody really cared. But it did come out.

This hasn't been funny for a hell of a long time. Repeating jokes over and over and over is NOT funny, it's stupid.
