  1. Re:BitTorrent links on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1
    Huh. When I was in Amsterdam, google automagically searched google.nl from my American laptop.

    Another funny thing I've just noticed is that the spell checker flags Google as correct google as misspelled and googol (which is how the number is spelled) as misspelled. Endlessly fascinating.

    Are American and British English really so different that we need different browser versions? Or am I missing something?

    As an astromoer I have to admit there is a tiny part of me that sees that image and thinks they're really lucky.

    I get dibs on Mercutio, that guy was the man. Best death scene ever.

    Yeah I knew a kid that got his nose broken playing dodgeball. So I guess getting wounded at school is OK so long as you're being poroperly supervised while it goes on.

  14. This isn't really new on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 4, Funny

    When I was in elemetary schoo in the late 80's they wouldn't let us play touch footbal at recess. But then during P.E. they would make us play dodgeball.

    I have a better idea. I'll wait to get one (if I bother at all) and then when I do all the bugs will have worked out, there will be more games available, it will cost less I won't have to wait in any ureasonably long lines and I won't have helped fuel Sony's ridiculous hype machine.

  22. Re:He didn't say much, except this on Wal-Mart Talks Next-Gen Console Onslaught · · Score: 1

    Do you mean that the smaller ps2 is the first time a smaller version of a console has been released? That's actually a very common thing, I believe there was even a smaller version of the NES released around the time SNES came out. Or do you just mean it's the first time a slimmed down version has made much of an impact?

    That seems to be how they go. The one working on is the seceond on I bught and has been through all manor of hell (though I don't wear it much anymore). All the others died after very light use, perhaps I should have abused them more.

  25. Re:BUTT UGLY on Caller ID Watches · · Score: 1

    I advise you to be very wary of Fossil. They are very nice looking watches that have a habit of falling apart or stopping for little or no reason. Of the 4 or 5 that I have owned only 1 still works and I tend to go pretty easy on my watches.
