Heck, I had ye old axe dropped on me in Nov '05 by an HR manager(director?) as if that matters. He only had the job for ~ 3 weeks. We had no HR department before that! LOL
So he was there all of 3 weeks and gave me a firm handshake and said something like "*we* want to thank you for you years of service" blah blah I was cracking up inside and screaming "You've been here all of 3 weeks!! How can YOU be thanking me for my years of service?! bwahahaha! Ok, I was alternating between cracking up inside and thinking WTF?!;)
I see a lot of people say RPM sucks, but rarely do they post an explanation. I started on Slackware in '93/'94 and moved to Redhat in '95/'96 and loved RPM. I used and loved RPM for quite sometime before moving on to Gentoo a couple of years ago. But I still like the RPM system. In all the years I used it, I never had any major complaints. *shrugs*
If I get home and don't have to poop, I don't read the instructions until if/when I hit a roadblock. If I do have to poop, the the manual may be used as bathroom reading material.
I'm thinking I should have gone anonymous with this one.. *shrugs*
Back in the day when he played war-games, we would build 'mortars' or cannons with just the following items.. Soup cans, duct tape, lighter fluid, and tennis balls. It was a ton of fun to blast tennis balls at each other. It didn't hurt (too bad):) Simple to make, takes 10 minutes once you have the cans. We would cut out both ends on all but 2 soup cans. Duct tape them together end to end.. (duh), then take one of the cans that only has one open end and using a nail or somethng, punch holes in it bottom.. lots of 'em, then duct tape that can to the others. the last can and be duct taped to the bottom end of the cannon, and using a can opener, create a small hole on the side of the last can. Done! Tennis balls fits in the can perfectly, and rests in the next to last can, pour some lighter fluid in the last can in the small opening that u made and set it off with a match.:)
My description is pretty horrible, i know.. well, I said not to try it at home anyway.
So if I get up to go to the bathroom, or when I start flipping channels during commercials, I'm stealing?
Or is it the automagic skipping that has folks upset? When I see a commercial, I automatically skip it anyway.. so boom there. Sux for me. I'm a crook!
Yeah.. and being the over-anxious FuckTard that I am, I signed up, clicked download and got the following:

IE ?! Fuck You. I don't have IE. Oh well.. Ok. I'll just stream it then.. Wrong! 2 commercials streamed just fine, then the show is about to begin.. BZZZZT! dead link.. Fuck you again.
Fuck you GameSpot. Fuck you.
You can argue the theory of how and why all you want. Hell I even doubted it myself. But I tried it anyway and I really don't care how/why it works, I just care that it does work. I lost 15lbs in about 3 weeks, feel great, and brain fog is gone. The clearer thinking has been the biggest benefit to me so far. And how much money has this cost me? Nada, Zero, Zilch. I just use the carb chart on AtkinsCenter.com as a guide as well as some of their recipes that don't require any special low-carb ingredients that Atkins sells.
I was pissed.. Until I realized the GWN is dated April 1.. Haha... damn.. had me for a few seconds there.. Bastards!:)

I wouldn't call it piracy.. Lame yes. Piracy no. Maybe 'technically it is' , but being a raw, far from finished game, people are still going to have to get a hold of the full game when its released, *shrugs*

I was hoping to avoid ANY contact with Doom III until it was released (linux version of course) One of the things that made the original Doom so awesome and scary to me was that I had only heard of it at the time. No screenshots, no video's no nothing. I played it with a pretty clean slate. Figuring the name Doom III itself was hype enough, I emailed John Carmack pleading for no ScreenShots, no nothing until after the game was released. No luck there. well ok, I can avoid them. Then the video's came. BAH! damn u! It was getting hard to avoid it, NOW the damn thing is leaked, No it isnt 'the' game, but its pretty much a good look at whats coming. Shit. All the surprise has been spoiled, because Everywhere I go, there is a screenshot posted FRONTPAGE, Bah.. Damn u ATI (or whoever leaked it) Damn u all!
Argh! Damn cheaters! Do they actually feel some sense of accomplishment? I don't see how since Seti isn't about raw number crunching. *sigh* I will never understand what 'fun' they get out of cheating especially in online gaming.. but that's another story.
Slashdot Mirror
Nothing.... ... but I have been IM'd with a request to join and IRC channel to show off my ID before.
And yes, it felt as strange as it sounds. LOL
lol
Even though I don't use it anymore (switched to MAC/Adium about a year ago), the new name is SO much better than Gaim, IMO. Great job guys.
That is all.
It's never nice no matter how it's done.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who focused on that sentence. :)
Suckers! Blue Light Cemetery was K-Mart's failed attempt at selling cheap headstones. :)
Yep... I remember. Sounds creepy (but fake) Still, I miss Art a bunch although he does still broadcast every other weekend. :)

I don't usually suffer from motion sickness, but I'm thinking I'd feel it while lying in bed or something.. Even at 1 RPH - *shrugs*
Weird.
The current high priced bulky projection TVs may be 1000 bux next year. But im sure any 7" thick lcos whatever will be high-dollar.
What about DVD Region restrictions though?
This one is safer, but don't try it at home.

This story sounds too much like an ad for me. Even with the mention of the weak WB ads. Hmmm
