    Outwardly racist?

    You guys are good. Found each other's editor pages that just happened to use the same handle as your /. accounts. Clever! :)

    I seem to recall an awful piece of software called dashboard for win 3.1. I think it was Borland's doing. It was a virtual desktop manager, but what the hell is an info display panel? Doesn't that describe most of the windows I have open right now? Maybe it's always on top or something. I wish all of my windows could always be on top, the I could see them all at once. woohoo

    The biggest problem was mentioned earlier: It's too dangerous to transport it on the highway, so we can't move it to the launch facility...

  15. Re:Micropayments are a nice idea but... on The March Towards Micropayments · · Score: 1
    Are you in fact jewish? Maybe it's just another racial sterotype I have, but I always thought they were pretty cool about this sort of usage.

    Perhaps they are all just a bunch of tight asses that are good with money and lack humour.

    And how insulting is it really to be recognized for superior monetary management skills? Micropayments add up, other posters seem to feel that larger than expected bills would be common.

    Perhaps you confused his dislike of micropayments for a dislike of jews.

    Perhaps editing the language to remove offensive words serves only to call attention to the source of the term, increasing awareness in the difference in race. I usually don't even think about it. Unless I'm looking for an insult, but that's about the same as making fun of someone's mother at random, designed to irritate an individual, not based on any fact.

    I'm too lazy right now to even spell check, but I'm sure you could come up with long lists of words that would be offensive if anyone rememberd why thay mean what they do.

    Fire suppression?

    With these innovations, you could employ someone to handle that shit.
    Lasers are cool. What about a ridicoulous mirror system to just pan and refelect the beam around your yard? Less moving parsts. Ah hell, I'm too, uh, drunk for this. Burn your damn feet off at the ankle... worse if you pass out in the yard.
