    Haven't you seen Family Guy? "Psst... Talk about HER!"

    If she's a female human, she'll likely have a whole lot to say on the subject of herself. Encourage it. Act interested when you are not, and maintain eye contact. Feign interest. Let her know you are paying attention. And if you HAVE to, fake interest.

    I went to Russia in 1993 and I got the Rock Star treatment just for being American. I realize that Former Soviet Bloc is different from Pacific Rim, but the Russians weren't scared to stare. In fact, they seemed to relish the opportunity to openly gawk at us. Having a black traveling companion helped garner a LOT of that attention, though...

    I have to say, it was fun going from "broke college student with marginal looks" to "Super Stud Rich American" simply by stepping off of a plane. . .

  5. Re:Video games... on Are Video Game Patents Next? · · Score: 1

    Spoken like someone who doesn't play NFL/football games, but likes to read online. I've played each release of Madden on my PC from 2001 until last night. I'll likely play again tonight. I've been playing football video games since Hasbro put out a handheld with red LEDs, but I'll keep the discussion to PC-based Madden, as that's what I have used most recently.

    Each release is entirely different from the last, and each has been an improvement.

    Before anyone replies about how stupid John Madden is, I play with the Commentary and Music at 0%, but I leave the sound effects and whatnot up to around 50% (and use my own MP3s while playing). I can't stand the stupid Commentary, but that wouldn't change from EA to Sega to Tecmobowl... So I digress...

    The graphics obviously improve with each release, but the motion/physics are different, the running AND passing games are usually VERY different from year to year, and the Franchise Mode / Owner Mode options are MUCH different from year to year. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but never the same.

    I'm not saying that you're talking out of your @$$, but I might be implying it...

  6. Re:Wal-mart censorship on Wal-Mart Turns Over DVD Rentals to Netflix · · Score: 2, Interesting
    When I still lived in N. FL, they could only rent "softcore" and "simulated" pr0n movies. I didn't know this until I worked up enough balls to rent a pr0n movie one day (WAY back when my 2400 Hayes wasn't bringing the b00bs fast enough to launch a good one).

    Apparently, they would take a normal pr0n movie and only show the scenes where you couldn't actually see penetration. Showing genitals was not a problem, but ANY kind of penetration was edited out. Then, right as the dude would get all excited and groany, fade to black and que the next scene. Very weird, and not at ALL gratifying.

    I think there are also movies made specifically to be "Simulated", but I couldn't see that business model working too well in the Information Age. . .

    I feel your pain. My AIW is now sitting in my wife's PC and does nothing but accelerate the 3D lives of her Sims families... Should have read more about Myth and Linux BEFORE spending money on hardware.

    Thankfully, I recovered from this error and was able to get a PVR-250. ATI's MMC solution almost drove me to drinking (harder stuff than usual).

    That's a great "How To" and is easily the most readable of any I've stumbled across. I had no luck trying to follow the KnoppMyth instructions, but it COULD be a hardware problem. Your link has inspired me to test out all the hardware and give it another shot after 2 weeks of avoiding the project altogether...

    The Government DOES have "Police Powers" and crime is rampant. My perception of the herd is that respect for The Law is at an all-time low (keeping in mind is was born in 1975, and cannot comment on the 60s). It's funny to me that the **AA(s) feel that they can succeed where the Federal Government cannot. If they DO win out, put them in charge of the War on (Americans with) Drugs!

Until they can pull the wool over the eyes of THOSE people, those of us who know how to do it will be safe. The rest are still downloading Trojans from Kazaa as we speak, so no change there...
