    What's the point of buying a cookbook if you don't plan on making every single dish in it?

    This is /. what ever happened to "Do something for the sake of doing it"

  2. Re:Sex on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's a story my boss told me, I don't know if it's true or not.

    A 16 year old male is at a party and has sex with a 19 year old female. 3 months later she calls him and tells him she's pregnant, but not to worry about it. A few years down the road, he's about to graduate from college and her lawyer calls him up asking for child support, including back child support. As it turns out, the statutory rape statute of limitations had passed, and she waited until that time to ask for the child support. The guy had to drop out of school and get a job to pay the back child support.

    I noticed that, too and thought "That's not a very good editing job" and at the same time I shivered.. It is very creepy.. almost like the photos from The Ring.

    What service? If you're just connecting to the access point and saying "There it is" without browsing the network or connecting to the intarwebs, you're not doing anything illegal.

    Wow, aren't you the jackass. Not only do I own an iPod after all the other mp3 players I tried broke after a few days at work.

    The iPod didn't INVENT shit. Which is all I was saying.

    The Riot had a better UI and better playlist generation on the fly. Oh, and battery life. It had a longer battery life, also.

    And the attack on my pants, nice one.

    You cannot invent something that exists. You haven't argued against me at all.

    The new Family Guy episodes WILL be aired on AS either at the same time as on Fox or slightly after. I already saw the American Dad pilot.. if you want to it's on myspleen.net

    Seatbelts are required by law because of some stupid safety crap.

    Attaching red and blue lights to your vehicle implies that you're an offical. Impersonating a police officer is against the law.

    And by "numberplates" do you mean the VIN or the license plates?

    I don't understand why. If you own the vehicle, as long as it's safe, why would you be unable to drive it after replacing parts?

    Ah, but the new seasons of Family Guy, the second half of the ATHF, Sealab, and Tom seasons, the ACTUAL Squidbillies show, another Perfect Hair episode, and a whole lot of new anime are starting in May.

    Adult Swim is getting a LOT of new viewers, almost hitting 1 million on Wednesday for ATHF, and that means more new shows for us.

    And? You're probably the type of person who thinks that drunk drivers can sue the bar/store they got their drinks from. Or that gun companies should be sued by the families of gun violence victims.

    It's called being responsible for your actions. If you drive drunk, you were at fault. If you shoot someone, the gun company did not make you do it.

    eXeem does NOT use the BitTorrent protocol, actually. It's "Based on the IDEA."

    Why not watch Adult Swim? They're one of the main reasons Family Guy is coming back.

    They have Family Guy at 11 and Futurama at 11:30 plus their other shows from midnight until 2. (Warning: May Contain InuYasha)

    Definitions of invent on the Web:

    How are they inventing something that already exists?

    You invent the first sprocket in the world, I improve upon your original design. Did I invent the sprocket?

    Maybe something like "Apple re-defined the hard drive based mp3" but they did NOT invent.

    They invented something that already existed but marketed the product to the "cool" people.

    If you have a hat, and I market the same hat but get more people to buy it.. Did I invent the hat?

    I had a Rio Riot and all you had to do was plug it into your computer and launch Mediamatch Jukebox, import your songs and it was set up. iTunes doesn't make anything easier.

    MusicMatch wasn't hard to use. People actually still choose to use it over other products.

    You want to see a hard drive based mp3 player that has the stuff you ask for? Look at the new line from Rio. Or Archos.

    My left ear is a bit smaller than my right, the buds that came with the iPod hurt like a bastard in my left ear and made it all red.
