A Law Based on Three Points of Data

Moore's Law Disputed

failed? Why does that not surprise me? I'm pretty sure Moore's law started as an offhanded comment based on a few points of data, and has been more of a guidepost that people make reality...not even close to being a law.
From your sig...you've been published on Slashdot? Congrats...wait for the royalty cheques to roll in. I submitted a good one on how wearing glasses trounces your chances with the ladies but it got rejected, ironically. Maybe there are some hot babe editors...
Ha ha ha, I just got notified that there was a reply to some smartass comment I made at 3:18 last night (morning?) that I don't remember making. I get in more trouble that way...(e-mail can be dangerous if not used sober)
Hmm, I saw one called spamarrest a few days ago that blocks spam by making you click to verify before the message gets through and then you are on that person's approved list but it is a pay service.
Man, the Internet seems like it's becoming an ad zone. Banner ads aren't bad, but it's the popups that drive me crazy. I've tried a few programs to stop them but none of them seemed to work. Does anyone have any kickass foolproof method (other than pitching their computer out the window)?
That's cool. Trailers at least make sense because you know that the audience is into movies. Often the trailers show the best part and are sadly better than the actual movie!
I've never been to Sam's Club, but if they are offering deep discounts I can kind of understand that. Costco here in Canada is like that.
The movie theatres aren't doing anything other than taking advantage of their captive audience and wasting their time on ads. I like previews but anyone who makes the arguments that a perfume commercial is entertaining is insane...I think commercials are fine for TV, where you don't pay...that's the deal. Imagine if you had to listen to an ad every time you started your car. Same thing.
It's starting to make a lot more sense to find pirated releases. Damn, someone should tell movies they are pay-per-view and are bastards for putting in ads. Movie previews are OK, since it's cool to see early views of new movies, but I doubt anyone feels that way about perfume ads during a movie they paid $13 to see.
Another thing that sucks is bar cover charge...I guess they're special but I'd like to see stores like Wal-Mart try to charge cover for the opportunity to shop there.

Murphy's Law, now that's a law.

Heh heh oops. I don't even remember making that comment.

So there. I SMELL NERDS. From revenge of the nerds or something.
Man, you guys need wedgies. I will be a kickass movie but you will get what's coming to you if I see you in costumes outside the theater.
The franchise is going the way of James Bond.
can put the hamster in the microwave!

In theory that works, but other people use those 10 minutes to take up your prime seat! You can't win!
