    Yeah, but they have a fresh supply coming in from Mexico. I give it a couple years before illegal immigrants get the vote.

    This, according to his idea, explains the massive amount of transformation that our species has done to our planet, and all the things we have accomplished :)
    So, basically, we created the wheel, society, computers, and porn because we were bored?

    Makes perfect sense t'me. :-)

    Wonder if you could kick that up a notch and take it to religion:
    And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And God got bored and went waterskiing.

    [Bunch of boring biblical stuff that I couldn't be bothered to make fun of]

    And God found that he needed drinking buddies and people to kick ass at CS with, and he said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness [...]"
  10. Relevant Dave Barry fortune on CA State Offers To Prepare Simple Tax Returns · · Score: 1
    You first have to decide whether to use the short or the long form. The short form is what the Internal Revenue Service calls "simplified", which means it is designed for people who need the help of a Sears tax-preparation expert to distinguish between their first and last names. Here's the complete text:
    "(1) How much did you make? (AMOUNT)
    "(2) How much did we here at the government take out? (AMOUNT)
    "(3) Hey! Sounds like we took too much! So we're going to
    send an official government check for (ONE-FIFTEENTH OF THE AMOUNT WE TOOK) directly to the (YOUR LAST NAME) household at (YOUR ADDRESS), for you to spend in any way you please! Which just goes to show you, (YOUR FIRST NAME), that it pays to file the short form!"
    The IRS wants you to use this form because it gets to keep most of your money. So unless you have pond silt for brains, you want the long form. -- Dave Barry, "Sweating Out Taxes"

    Actually, I prefer that to eth0 and eth1 magically switching places as has happened occasionally for me after rebooting Linux.
    Yeah, I've had that happen to me before, too. It's irritating, but hasn't happened to me in a very long time.

    I much prefer having a nice generic ethX over an interface named after the driver. (wlanX being an exception. (Anyone know why they changed hostAP to do wifiX and wlanX, instead of the old behaviour? C'mon, Mr. Tourelles (sp, sorry), I know you're out there. :-)))

    Lee was also in two scenes in the second movie; one when Parker gives up being Spider-Man and is doing his little happy-happy walk (briefly but clearly seen in the background running right to left), and when Spidey and Doc Ock are fighting on the side of the building, he pulls a young lady out of the way of falling debris.

    They mentioned this in the DVD commentary, I think.
