    Too bad that trick doesn't work w=9SPaypal.

  2. Solution (for me) on Gone Phishing? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My bank doesn't have my email address. Give them a throwaway email address when registering online, then delete the address. All the mail to that account would bounce, and the bank has other (non phishable) ways to contact me if needed.

    I can't click a false hyperlink in a printed letter.

    Honestly, that is the first time I have ever seen someone recommend Windows ME in a serious fashion.

    And it's already November, so we have to wait until next October overthrow and kill the czar.

    I forget my Steam password at least once weekly. Never had any problems getting it back

    In the world I would like to live in everybody else doesn't have to pay for the transgressions of one person or group of people.

    You're not religious, are you?

  9. Re:Not just the CD-based customers on Steam Registration Servers Overloaded · · Score: 1

    does anyone else feel like they may as well be downloading the game textures from Steam as you play?

    Nope. They're long, but try playing it with your network cable unplugged. It's the same.

    Archive.org has it. Powerplay was all BS anyway. A lot of babble, and no substance or working product.

    Notice on the left you won't see id software's logo. That's because Carmack laughed them out of his office, he saw right through that crap.

    Steam works perfectly for me. Bought HL2 last month through Steam, and played right at release time.

    1 yard = 0.9144 meter, the error that caused a Mars orbiter to bite the dust.

    No, that's the mistake of putting a 3 yard antenna instead of a 3 meter antenna.

    One "640k should be enough for anybody" joke in the title should be enough for everybody.

    The fact that the next leader of the freaking world can be predicted by a game... So, anyone want to take a guess as to why the rest of the world thinks Americans are arrogant pricks?

    Because we refer to the world as the "freaking world" while our military doesn't have a single shark with a "freaking laser" on it's head?

    Apparantly you don't play many games online in public servers. A character named "GOATSE!" always runs into a group of teammates and shoots an anti-tank rocket directly into the ground, or equivalent.

  20. OT: Earplugs on U2 iPod: Any Color You Want, As Long As It's Black · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Earplugs rock. Particularly because it filters out other crap you hear (glass or chairs rattling in a venue, annoying guy next to you) and leaves you with a good headphone-esque volume in your ear during the show.

    I'm still rather young to speak like an old goat about this, but earplugs are the only way I listen to shows anymore. I got tired of the ear ringing directly after, and having everybody shout at you when talking to you for the next 2 days. I love music so much, that I want to protect my hearing and be able to enjoy it for the rest of my life.

    Uhh, many of the requested Spanish items are books. Living in Tucson, AZ, I know very many people who speak English and Spanish fluently, but their parents or grandparents (first generation immigrants) speak only Spanish. It's probably aimed for situations like that, Spanish speaking parents (or bilingual volunteers) reading to their children.

    Believe it or not, there are 100% legal US citizens who speak Spanish and use hospitals.
