    There are lots of 90 minute movies. That's actually a pretty good cartoon movie length. Kids have a hard time sitting still for longer than a few minutes.

    That's why CNN, Faux News, MSNBC, and everyone else only mentioned dirty bombs a few million times after September 11. These fears not existing are why "our government" is building a (doomed) Missile defence system. These fears that nobody has ever had are the reason for the fucking cuban missile crisis.

  5. Re:Never short a battery on iPod Dangerous When Wet · · Score: 1

    I had a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer v2 (The Wireless one) and one of the AA batteries exploded as I was using it. I don't know if it was from me jumping, but it felt like the mouse jumped, too. I looked around for 30 minutes to try to find what the cat knocked over to cause that noise, but I gave up. When I came back to the computer, the mouse wasn't working. I went to change the batteries, and the end of one of the AA Energisers had popped right off.

    Batteries exploding in your hand are LOUD.

    Good idea.. I bet if you mention that to Adelphia, I'm sure you can get them to either lower your monthly bill or speed up the DVR to your area. Also, if they have plain digital cable in your area, it's the local cable office that's slacking. It took almost a year between when we got Digital Cable and when they finally rolled out their DVR and internet services. Just complain a lot. Get anybody you know with Adelphia to complain.

    When I was 16, I got our local Adelphia office to offer the Food network with a letter campaign.

    They are going through a strange phase right now, what with the fraud and all, but they're nicer and more helpful than ever.

    Get the Adelphia DVR, it's only $9/mo and comes with a 160 gig hard drive. I have Adelphia silver pack with 2 dvrs and one digital cable box and their 6000/512 internet package, it's only $140/mo. Adelphia's prices are a little high, yeah. The quality makes up for it, in my opinion. I really like the hundred or so music only channels.

    Oh, and the sites are usually HDTV rips. I know when I download CSI and throw it through svideo to our 42" hdtv it's much nicer than the non-hdtv CBS we get.

  17. Irregardless on Congress to Revisit the Patriot Act · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

    I think a whole bunch of that $600m is for security. Almost half of the cost of every barrel of crude oil is security charges. War makes the cost of protection go way up. Oh, and insurance won't cover any damage directly related to acts of war. Remember that when Canada gets pissed and rolls into DC again.
