Killing unborn babies is NOT OK. Killing Iraqis is NOT OK. Pre-emptive invasions are NOT OK. Capital punishment is NOT OK. It's true that many well-meaning Catholics (and other Christians) often appear to have double standards, but maybe they just don't realize that there are other candidates they can vote for.
I'm Catholic, and I voted (absentee) for Peroutka, not Bush.
Ok, so I just woke up and without even bothering to put my glasses on, I opened up Slashdot and saw "Juvenile Fells Cactus" and thought, "Whaaaa?" and I took a second look and still saw the same thing, so I read the blurb and about halfway through realized it wasn't a cactus its talking about. I should probably go back to bed.
No, I do that too. Of course, my school only gives me a few MB of space and I get 50 or so emails a day, often with attachments. I forward stuff to my Gmail account if I know I'll need to get to it when I'm away from my computer, and I back up my Thunderbird mail folder every few days.
* Bridge To Terabithia
Oh good god what a piece of shit. I had to read this in school in fifth grade. It was short, sappy, dull and retarded
I couldn't have said it any better. This book sucks beyond description. In fact, that's probably what won it the Newberry Medal. Have you ever noticed that "award-winning" children's books almost ALWAYS suck? I'd gladly support a ban on Bridge To Terabithia just to spare kids from exposure to such stupid literature.
"Bingo" is, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen. I nearly gave up movies permanently after seeing it. Don't watch this movie unless you really enjoy self-torture. The mental anguish this film gives you will never go away completely. And you'll want to kick every dog you see.
How do you pronounce that? And for that matter, how do you pronounce BeOS? Just wondering, in case I ever have to communicate with a live human about it.
At a former job, they had Slashdot completely blocked. They also blocked telnet and ssh from the workstations to anywhere outside the company. However, I discovered that I could ssh from my machine to the database server and then to an outside machine and read Slashdot in lynx from there, which I did as long as I worked at the place (not long).
It was just a couple of years ago that my dorm-mates and I were entertaining ourselves with Dr. SBAITSO on my old Pentium Pro machine (running Win 98 at the time). I still have all that old Sound Blaster software. As old as it is, that SBAITSO thing works pretty well. It got kind of freaky when it started winning arguments, though.
This is something I've been wondering about for a while: I want to get an LCD monitor to use with my two computers. I'm looking at the Samsung Syncmaster 173t. One computer has a video card with DVI out, the other has only analog. It seems logical to me that a monitor having both DVI and analog inputs would allow you to connect both cables from two running machines simultaeously and select the one to use with a switch or menu item. However, I've read the reviews, manuals, support pages, message boards, etc. and I can't confirm that this will work - it seems no one does this (and writes about it). I'd like to know if I can do this before I spend $600 on a new monitor. Would you happen to know if this can usually be done, or will some monitors only allow one cable to be connected at a time? Thanks for any info.
I hope the election people in Ohio take notice of this. One of yesterday's articles said Ohio was considering the same machine that was causing trouble in California. I sure don't want to see the same mess here, especially after that comment the Diebold CEO made a while back about delivering Ohio's votes to Bush.

but I hope you guys set it up so that moderation in this section does not affect users' karma. Otherwise, we'll all be posting at -1 before long.

And, as I recall, some of the pictures have what could be considered nudity.
Best part of the original Sims game. I hope they kept it.

Yeah, right. Why else would Bush want to go to Mars?

Does anyone else miss Domination mode? That was always my favorite, and the one I'm the best at. Maybe someone could write a mod for it?
