The web visitors are always pompous, condescending assholes if you don't provide them with what they want, when they want it. I must get 50 emails a day with complaints about various miniscule bullshit.
Interesting. I have a friend who used to be a clerk in a porn shop; he absolutely hated the job, but he said the best part of it was the fact that the customers were too intimidated just by being in the place to give him any shit. I guess the anonymity of the internet gives your customers the courage to act like assholes. Maybe you should start replying to complaints by calling them at home?
I seriously doubt that. I've met plenty of people in New York City who can't speak English worth a damn - some of them have been living here for years.
LCDs happen to be more energy efficient than CRTs, but that's the exception rather than the rule.
Looking at various stuff that's been made in the US in the past half century, I can think of a few other examples right now. Refrigeration and AC equipment has definitely gotten more efficient. Houses built with modern materials hold heat much better than older ones. Those big vacuum tubes in the old radios drew a LOT more juice than transistors. (OK, so they don't make radios in the US anymore...) Speaking of vacuum tubes, can you imagine what the energy bill would be like for running one of those 1950's monster computers? You'd need your own power plant just to read/.
Interesting to note, though, passanger cars have not improved their efficency that much.
Mr. Rollins has my full support, and I wish him well in his new career. I thought he was really good in Johnny Mnemonic, much better than Keanu Reeves (the current CEO of Hewlett Packard).
"Sinsemilla" means reefer without seeds in it. The word is Spanish for "no seeds". So there's no such thing as "sinsemilla seeds".
Not a bad idea, though. Cannabis is a weed, it'll grow just about anywhere. Hey, if they can grow it in Afghanistan, it should do OK on Mars. Start saving those seeds, boys!
There was something like that in a Kurt Vonnegut novel whose title has slipped my mind. Something about an automated spaceship with only two controls: a START button, and a STOP button (the latter isn't connected to anything.) The point being that humans feel better when they think they have control over their fate.
Actually, it's probably a moot point - I've never met a New Yorker who actually waits for the light.
Good point. I personally think the mis-spelled porno guy deserves some kind of punishment, but I'm kind of worried about a slippery slope that leads to shutting down sites like whitehouse.com.
How does porn harm kids? It gives them an twisted view of sex.
Yeah, so does most religious propaganda. Celibacy is the most un-natural sex act I can think of, but a lot of fine, upstanding citizens have no problem with promoting it.
Downloading midget amputee porn isn't the best way for little kids to be spending their time, I'll grant you that. But it's probably not the worst. If I had kids, I'd be more worried about having them read "People" magazine.

Incidently, the Air Force has plenty of tech-saavy people, often in the form of reservists.
It's true, they do. Here's one.

Swiss version: Remains neutral, and offers convenient banking services to all the warring parties.
They're using it to store ripped DVDs! It's an outrage! They're stealing the bread from the mouths of Julia Roberts and Steven Seagal!
"A million dollars here and a million there, and pretty soon it adds up to some real money."
I think this line was attributed to Reagan, but I could be wrong.
Is Babelfish the "state of the art in machine translation"? Most definitely not. But it is the funniest.
Most people in the world speak english.
I seriously doubt that. I've met plenty of people in New York City who can't speak English worth a damn - some of them have been living here for years.
I agree. The Babelfish output presented above doesn't just mangle the meaning, it doesn't even follow basic rules of grammar.
Then again, I don't know of anybody actually using Babelfish for anything other than cheap entertainment.
"Long weight"? Is that anything like a "dickfer"?

Ah yes, adamantium... The downfall of the Roman Empire. (Or was it gay marriage? I forget.)

Dat is vhy they call me, I am ein expert!
Yeah, I do think I have the right to play God. Shit man, God's had His turn.
Anyway, it seems irrelevant to this discussion. We're talking about exploration, not building some sort of Frankenstein setup.
While we're at it, let's plant some agave cacti and lime trees so we can make margaritas (I think they already have ice up there.)

Excellent point. People should take a look at the list of previous winners, it's really quite illuminating.
1959?! What is up with that shit? "Ben-Hur" beat out "Plan 9 From Outer Space"? An outrage!
Read "Animal Farm" again. Some citizens are more equal than others. I'm not sure how many of them are driving cabs in NYC.
Someday a real rain'll come and wash all this scum off the streets...
He's putting that on his resume as we speak.

midgets pissing and shitting on women being unwillingly double-penetrated by a men with leather masks, and a dildo up her nose
Oh, you like that site too, huh? Ain't it a hoot?

Sometimes, people who fled totalitarian countries are the most ardent supporters of American freedoms.
Yeah, like Henry Kissinger.
