Do you know what the best thing about yours post are?
You're not coming off as a bitter old man at all!
Seriously dude, if they're teaching the kids the wrong way to start a business...guess what, the kids are gonna figure that out really fast.
And if it turns out to that it's a good way to start and run a business...more power to them.
Just stop sounding like such a washed up old has-been.
"In my day we didn't have fancy wood tables and leather chairs. I had to make my wife get down on all fours and put a piece of plywood on her back. Then I'd draw the blood out of my own finger and use it for ink. On top of that my "leather" chair was made up of pressed skin flakes that I stole from bums!"
"People may just decide that an Internet Broadband Co-op is a good idea, form one, and snub their nose at the likes of ATT, Comcast, Rogers, Cox, and Mchsi."
Maybe the Gates Foundation is run independent from Microsoft? I mean, maybe it seriously has no agenda and could get a better deal on iBooks for the 7th graders than they could get from a large PC maker.
I obviously have no idea. Anyone who does know, please step up and tell us.
So right now I'm sitting in a computer lab (working on an overdue assignment). There is a large sign posted (where everyone can see it) that say's "No Cellphones!".
Guess what? In the past 5 minutes at least 5 cells phones have rang! This is disturbing to those of use trying to work.
On a more serious note. Maybe higher charges would make the inappropriate use of cells phones less common. I've seen numerous car accidents caused by people on cell phones who weren't paying attention to what they were doing.
Maybe it'll also mean less phones ringing during movies!
The upside of this, of course, is that it won't be necessary to pay for songs that are just "album filler".
Man I really wish that they had this option when I made the mistake of buying a Deadeye Dick album (you know, the one with Mary Moon from the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack). That album sucked. It was a novelty song followed by 12 horrible, rip your ears off, puke on you cat, smack your balls "album filler".
Long story short, Listen.com could have saved me from ripping my ears off, puking on my cat and smacking my balls! Where were you then you bastards?
IT nerd in bar: Hey, baby, you like dangerous guys?
Hot Chick: Yeah, I guess so.
IT nerd in bar: Sometimes I take my pocket protector out of my pocket!
Hot Chick: Uh-huh...
IT nerd in bar: Sometimes I take my mint condition Megatron action figure to LAN parties!
Hot Chick: Uh-huh...
IT nerd in bar: And sometimes I let my server room get really messy so that it's a hazard to my life!
Hot Chick: Wow, that is dangerous. I'm really turned on...hop on me right now...
When I first read the headline I thought it said "Batman Retreats, But Only To Regroup"
Then I realized that it couldn't be true 'cause Batman never retreats.
Okay now that that's over it's time for me to actually read the article. Check for intelligent post later

ECCp-109 Solved
·
· Score: 2
The more I see worthwhile DC projects out there like ECCp-109, Folding at home, and now ClimatePredition.net, the more I think I should participate in these rather than SETI@home (which I've been doing for 3+ year)
Maybe it just comes down to what can aid humanity vs. what is simply a shot in the dark.

Blah...
Oh man...
First ICQ and AIM merge.
Then Crypto and IPSec merge.
Next you're gonna tell me that cats and dogs have merged.
What's the world coming to?
"Color-changing clothes would be cool..."
:)
Yeah, that's what I thought in 1991 when I got a hypercolour shirt for my birthday.
Guess what...
It turned out that color-changing clothes weren't cool.
"People may just decide that an Internet Broadband Co-op is a good idea, form one, and snub their nose at the likes of ATT, Comcast, Rogers, Cox, and Mchsi."
The Ruby Ranch Internet Cooperative Association got fed up with the poor quality of service (coming from Quest, I believe) and decided to make their own ISP.
Holy crap...
Can something be modded down (Score:-1, Rascist)?
'Cause if it can, this post should.
Quiet PCs are easy. There's lots that you can do to make your PC quieter.
Instructions on how to make a quieter mother-in-law? I'd really like to see that.
Anyone else have a crazy Korean mother-in-law? You know what I mean!
Word.
That's why I do vote Libertarian and Green Party.
Power to the people!
This is a guess.

Here's one grumpy nerd hoping...
Sorry...um...yeah...meant to write "chicks dig danger".
I think I'm going through Taco Bell withdrawal.
