well would that be due to their nerdiness, or because they were predispositioned with a social/personality disorder? i dunno, it seems that social circumstances lead to nerdiness more than the other way around, at least it was this way with me. whereas jocks seem to be influenced more by the sport itself, or their parents who've made sports a priority for them since childhood.
perhaps because sports have been infused into education for longer than electronics/computers have, that's a major reason why "jocks" have become so accepted? if the internet was invented in the 1800's and sports were just introduced a couple decades ago, perhaps even as a "club", would they be considered the "nerds"? and the "nerds" the "jocks"? i actually think that makes sense.
damn, i noticed those that say "i'm going to be modded down for this, but...." usually avoid getting modded down, or even get modded up. i guess that's not the case here. my, this field i'm typing into has the perfect dimensions!
they have to win on the field, so they have to win in the hallways, i guess. alot of jocks become so "jocky" that their coaches disqualify them from attending a special game/event, or sometimes just kick them off the team. I've never heard of a nerd being too nerdy for their boss/teacher/etc.
i know this is offtopic, it's ok my karma is bad already... but can someone filter posts that contain the word fisting from now on? i hate seeing this, i'd rather visit goatse.
ALOT more goes into gameplay and graphics today than 10 years ago. 50% increase in cost, for a game with graphics 500% more evolved and gameplay sometimes 500% more complex? the time consumed programming and designing these things I'm sure is where the extra money is going.
Games have almost always had cutscenes. Remember "sorry mario but our princess is in another castle"? Even That's a cutscene, in a sense. Cutscenes are often essential, especially in story driven RPG's. They're fun, they add dimension to the game, and they give the gamer a chance to relax and understand the relevence between level 1 and level 2.
ok yeah, i see, i'm downloading at 500kps, but i'm uploading at around 5kps. and considering that hundreds of people are leeching this file, it's apparent that comcast is limiting my upload speed. at first i was thinking "give comcast a break", but now i'm thinking "this really needs to stop.... by going faster".
i guess i'm to lazy to rtfa or rtf other comments, but i'm downloading the simpsons movie via ktorrent at 500kps, faster than i download anything else. i dunno if this is because of the lawsuit, or whatever, but it seems that comcast is no longer governing bittorrent downloads. or it may be just me.
well if it shows up red, and they search you and you have no bomb, then what's the problem? in the US, we search people all the time randomly at airports, or sometimes on the streets for just looking like a suspect in question.
good point, i would have never thought about that.
i wouldn't be suprised if it cost more than a piece, pack, or even box of gum to remove a single piece.
Spears' jokes are very original, I've never heard: of someone imitating a yoda voice, jokes about Star Wars being childish, or nerds not being able to get laid. I think Slashdot users should sue Viacom for slander, and stealing the jokes used here everyday!

because they're two different companies?
name them
"potato" because potato starch is used to create biodegradeable cigarette butts, which are equally repulsive as gum?
good point, i would have never thought about that. i wouldn't be suprised if it cost more than a piece, pack, or even box of gum to remove a single piece.
can someone explain this to me?
your first one actually sounds the best.
aww man why did you have to post as an AC? I wanna be your friend!
Mr. Windows partition, meet -Mrs.- fdisk would sound funnier. A mrs. easy to get into, and will take up alot of your space.

'So what if humans pass into history? It's not just a tragedy for us, but also one for nature.' he's biased
i seriously thought the post said, captain -planet- buried, and was wondering why so many people cared.
