http://crossfit.com/ is a fitness "blog" that posts a new workout every day, which, with the right equipment (some can be gleaned from household items, some can't) can be done in the privacy of your own home.

I think Burgess took the word you're thinking and twisted it for his in-book pseudolanguage --- the Cyrillic spelling on Wiktionary and the anglicized spelling on Urban Dictionary match based on assumptions I've made about Cyrillic from what little I know of the Greek alphabet:)
Pretty interesting actually, that you heard the 'root' word when you saw the film. Also a pretty interesting (an appropriate) literary trick, superimposing the English word "Horror" onto such a positive adjective.
A) First world = USA's cold war sphere of influence
B) Second world = USSR's cold war sphere of influence
C) Third world = Countries not developed enough to be taken seriously during the conflict.
All three terms are 'deprecated' in a sense, though they have leeched into modern usage for historical convenience.
But keep in mind, even as Google may "back up" the gmail system better than Charter, the chances that if Google "lost" you email, you could actually reach someone at Google who could help you get your email back is a lot slimmer than the possibility that you could reach a helpful person at Charter.
Not true.
My sister had her gmail account stolen by someone last month. It took a few days after filling out the "Help! I can't log in!" form and several back and forth emails with actual human beings (confirming things like "What was your OLD account verification question?" and "Who sent you the gmail invite in the first place, and what email address was it sent to?") but she got it back. They were VERY helpful and she got way more personal attention than I thought she was going to, and I had pretty high expectations.
Except that 'recycling behavior' is important -- landfills WILL fill up, and recycling methods WILL improve in efficacy over time. If people are in the habit of separating their trash into refuse and recyclables, it's better for the environment. P&T are assholes for airing that episode without going into that.
Or one could simply photocopy it, and use it at several polling places (most local polling places I've seen still use stacks of paper in the registration line.)
Or someone mugs you on your way to vote and takes it.
I'd like to keep using my photo ID to check in, thanks.
What hardware do you have in your HTPC, and what OS are you using? I'm using Knoppmyth (Debian) with a GeForce3, and when I run the GeForce's DVI through a DVI->HDMI cable, (or in any way convert it to HDMI) I get this nasty red digital snow. I've tried a few different arrangements (short of spending $$$ to try other HDMI hardware,) but I can't seem to get it to go away. I assume your setup is working without issue.
Calling it a "A Modest Proposal" is stupid, because the namesake by Jonathan Swift was a satirical piece about eating Irish babies to quell overpopulation in England. It was meant as an indictment of English attitudes towards the poor and the Irish. If this is meant to be taken seriously, it would do well to avoid such an allusion.
Holy cow, I read this website of yours years and years ago, and I've been totally unable to find it again in recent months. Thanks for posting it here!
The University of Michigan had a "Poster Campaign" at all of the computing sites a bunch of years ago when I started there. All the posters compared kerberos passwords to underwear.
Passwords are like underwear: The longer the better. (had a drawing of a guy braving a michigan winter storm)
Passwords are like underwear: Don't share them with friends.
Passwords are like underwear: Change them often.
There might have been more but I've forgotten the rest. Any other U of M alumi who remember those ads?

And that's why such a comparison would be pointless.

"Horrorshow" is Clockwork Orange slang for "Awesome..."
Perhaps you meant "horrible?"
No.

And what if my PIN is 1111? Should I enter the two's-compliment?

Ah, my wrong! I've been looking for that.

The communists are attempting to poison our Precious Bodily Fluids, that's the problem with fluoride.
50 years? Nah... only 43! SimCity is a flawless indicator of future technology advances, in my experience.
Or you lose it.
Or it gets lost (or stolen) in the mail.

Yeah, can I opt-out of channels with heavy-handed religious content, or channels that air 24? That would make my cable bill significantly lower.

I think the GP meant movies like Russian Ark, which was 96 minutes, with 2000 actors and 3 orchestras. (In one shot.)
7 flash-frozen strawberries, scoop of soy isolate protein power, white grape juice. Blend. Delicious!
It's not a ton of food, but I'm on a 5-meal-a-day routine, and it works really well with that.
I'm far less hungry after a 6-mile ride to work with a smoothie breakfast than with cold cereal or even oatmeal.
Not the trade center, but a disturbing image of something within the last 4 or 5 years: Legacy of Blood by Jedi Mind Tricks

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week
More like "straight out of The Great Gatsby..." You know, with the eyes and all.
I wouldn't actually use LimeWire on a Mac, unless you're looking for that feeling of a sucking chest wound.
3a: Poisoned - giftd, Ares, OpenFT, Gnutellaa, FastTrack client for the Mac. In Cocoa. Works really well
