HA! A weak trap attempt. You thought I'd post correcting 'right' to 'write', but I'm too smart to fall for that, then I'd just be yet another bitching wannabee...
Sure. Occasionally you missed, and it would sting a bit. That was part of the *fun*, laughing like a hyena when your buddy nailed himself. Never had one break.
Oh god, not this again. Kubrick hated how tv screwed up his films, so he took a lot of care to that as he was composing each shot in widescreen, he made sure that nothing stupid was in the rest of the frame that would be seen in 4:3 once the mattes were removed. Exactly the same as a ton of other directors do.
I can't believe the simple desire to make sure the movies look as good as possible on old tv's has been corrupted into "Kubrick intended full frame".
Eh? Did you even read that? That Capitol Hill Blue retraction you cite is dated Jul 9, 2003. The Constitution story you're objecting to is two and a half years *after* he stopped using the bogus source Dec 9, 2005
I happen to be one of those folks who like their DVR to do exactly what its told, and nothing more - Dish's DVR can be configured to work that way
As can Tivo.
I hate the patent system with a passion, there are so many companies abusing the process, patenting obvious and common items, etc.
This is *not* one of those situations. This is the system doing exactly what it was supposed to, protect the guys who genuinely invented something unique.
No kidding. My first thought was "Again?". I've seen this exact same thing a dozen times over the past few years, lots of speculation, then suddenly, "Nope, we're sticking with Intel".
This one seems to be a tad more official though. Good, I won't buy anything that Intel touches.
Should be the other way around. If you want extra security, much more manpower is required to reduce your terrorism quotient that miniscule fraction of a percentage, so you should have to pay extra for it. Seems like it's running 60/40 against these rules already, that'd take it to 90/10.
Just quite the bloody over-reacting. It already drove me freakin' nuts before these latest rules, I've literally had nail clippers taken away from me. Hello? Nail clippers? Perhaps I'm going to do some dangerous grooming of the stewardess before charging the cabin? Meanwhile, some dude next to me is doing a crossword with a pen or pencil, and you could easily stab someone in the eye or ear with it.
I'm going to be off my rocker when I have to fly under these new rules. I feel like showing up nude as a protest.
Yeah, my first thought exactly. "Yeah, this guy just started bothering us out of the blue, we never did anything, we're just good honest kids, gosh golly gee..."

This huge piece of chocolate mousse cake tasted much better before you started saying "ugly fat porker", thank you very much.
1 pixel ought to be enough for anybody!

D'oh!
You can't help people that *don't want* to be helped.
Surely I can't be the only one who actually *likes* the default XP theme?
Nice colourful blues and reds, easy to spot the various bits you need to click on?
Ah, thanks for that. Must have screwed it up sometime. No wonder no one ever helps me find that song. :)

Didn't used to be. I knew dozens of kids including myself, all of us played responsibly with lawn darts, the thingmaker, klackers.
And if today's kids were allowed out of their little insular plastic bubble they're kept in from birth to adulthood, they'd be just fine.

He sounds eminently qualified for politics.
Which I just did, unchecked IE 7 and closed it, and told it not to ask me about this update again.
We'll see how long it respects my decision.
That's pathetic. Whoever says za to talk about pizza. What, two syllables is too complicated?
They should just cut the charade and add every possible two letter word combo to the dictionary now.
I find I still prefer the folder mentality, as compared to Gmails "everything in one spot and search" philosophy.
But I did hate the Yahoo beta when I tried it, and immediately switched back. I'm not looking forward to it become the default.

Yeah, other than that whole "feeding dead diseased animals to the livestock because it's cheaper" thing.
Right. Because we all know that the FDA has *never* approved anything that turned out to be harmful after all.
Just quit fucking with my food, because nature is "inconvenient" to deal with in maximising profits.

Oh man, is that a funny thread to read now, five years later. Some real Nostradamus types there. :)

Busting him? Remind me not to hire you when I need a private investigator.
"Aha! This guy says he has a girlfriend in April *2006*. But a year earlier in April *2005* he admitted not having a girlfriend! Busted!"
See the problem in your reasoning yet?
Yeah, my first thought exactly. "Yeah, this guy just started bothering us out of the blue, we never did anything, we're just good honest kids, gosh golly gee..."
Bang on, I've been waiting for MoM 2.0 for years. Don't *change* it, don't "improve" it, that's how they completely screwed up Railroad Tycoon.
