    I'm guessing very. What happens when a boxer gets attacked?

  3. Re:subject on Netflix Throttling Heavy Renters · · Score: 1

    On the nights when I receive my shipment from Netflix, yes... I watch all of them in one night. It's more like 6-8 hours for me. If the movie is good enough, or I think my roommate would be interested, I keep it around another day or two, but otherwise, the DVDs get dropped in the mail the next day on my way to work.

    In Ohio, if you pass out with keys in the ignition, it's a DUI.

    If you pass out with the keys out of the ignition, you just fell asleep. Of course, if you fell asleep in the middle of the road, there are laws against that too, but it's not a DUI.

  6. Apply this patch to maintain licensing! on Microsoft Loses Office Patent Dispute · · Score: 5, Informative

    We received an email from Microsoft licensing last week that addresses this issue.

    Here's the text:

    Background:

    It was recently decided in a court of law that certain portions of code found in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, Microsoft Office Access 2003, Microsoft Office XP Professional and Microsoft Access 2002 infringe a third-party patent. As a result, Microsoft must make available a revised version of these products with the allegedly infringing code replaced.

    Action required:

    As a result of the above ruling, you are required to:

    Install Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2 (Office 2003 SP2) for all your future deployments of Office Professional Edition 2003 and Office Access 2003, Install the Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 3 Patch (Office XP SP3 Patch) for all your future deployments of Office XP Professional and Access 2002

    Action requested:

    To keep your current systems in alignment with your future deployments of these products, Microsoft is requesting that you also update all your current Office Professional Edition 2003 and Office Access 2003 installations with Office 2003 SP2, and Office XP Professional and Access 2002 installations with the Office XP SP3 Patch.

    How do I do this?:

    You can obtain both Office 2003 SP2 and the Office XP SP3 Patch by going to the website listed below and downloading it directly, or by contacting your reseller.

    Please visit our site at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/def ault.aspx.

    Sincerely,

    Microsoft Licensing, GP This makes it seem like we are being forced to upgrade to maintain licensing.

    The Gravitron was sweet.

    A guy got crushed in its machinery at my county's fair. I got to ride the thing like a hundred times in a row after that because everyone was scared.

    Mario Kart, from Super Nintendo (the first console with built-in 3d capabilities) to N64 and onward, is the best, most fun, multiplayer game ever made. Don't forget Mario Tennis, which ties as most fun multiplayer game.

    Tthe pro-choice crowd don't call themselves "pro-abortion" for very specific reasons. I think that line of thought should guide you as well.

    Not to mention that being pro-choice does not mean you are pro-abortion. I'm pro-choice but think of abortion as a last-ditch effort. However, I will gladly support your right to make the choice you think is best.

    I know several who think that simply chewing a stick of gum after a meal is a sufficient replacement for a full brushing. Damn Trident marketing.
