Children are not these little things that get in the way of the rest of your life, they *are* the rest of your life. Embrace and extend, in the best MS philosophy!
Then there's the MS Knowledge Base philosophy:
Problem: Kids may cause harm to computers inadvertently. Solution: Abstain from having kids to ensure computers stay intact.
As a result, he only does it when you're not looking:)
The funniest thing is seeing a cat claw on something when he doesn't know you're watching. You can see the cat looking around checking to see if somebody walks in. Then when he notices you, he darts off like he's done something bad before you have even had the chance to tell him to stop.
At least our family was lucky enough to have a cat that didn't sneak behind the desk and mess with the cables. Though I am worried about having a cat in the future that would mess with my home theater speakers.
How is this different from how Suprnova.org has behaved lately? For the past ten days or so, they have been down more than they have been up. Either DDoS attacks have started long before Wednesday as reported, or they really are as incompetent as I thought they are when it comes to administering a web server.
Windows XP before AOL or AIM installed: No Viewpoint Media Player Windows XP after AOL and/or AIM installed: Viewpoint Media Player is there (but easy to remove)
At least in my experience. Either I'm wrong or you might be basing your experience off of an OEM restore copy of Windows - one which might come with AOL software preloaded.
This is actually quite minor compared to the rest of their hypocritical business model. They provide tools to "optimize" your internet and system which don't do much to actually improve performance (oooh, file caching, no web browsers on Earth do that!). They then back a proverbial dump truck up to your PC and fill it up with useless daemons which serve no purpose at all, yet take about 4MB of memory each. Even if you have enough memory to hold all these in, you're still killing Windows startup time.
My philosophy is that if you're providing a software product that runs services 100% of the time that only get utilized for 0.01% of said time, you're just doing harm to your custmers' systems. (Norton, I'm looking in your direction. SystemWorks is supposed to improve performance, so don't break your own apps because I stop your useless daemons)
I almost left out that AOL provides a popup blocker, yet AOL Instant Messenger causes popups in the form of the AIM Today window and other windows related to it, which still doesn't go away even if you configure AIM not to show it.
It usually took one or two shots in the original Doom to kill an imp. I'm positive it takes more in Doom 3. And yes, I am shooting them center mass.
As for teleportation, the idea is to have somewhere to go. It's obvious where they are going to appear, either by surround sound or the glyphs that appear on the floor, but like usual, the game makes it extremely easy to get stuck on a lip somewhere in a wall when you need to move the most. It would help if the game didn't overdramatize every single spawn either.
Doom 3 is definitely not the pioneer in jumping, spitting spiders, and its annoyance far predates the game. That should have been a warning to the developers not to include that crap. At least you don't have to fight antlions in Half-Life 2. Besides, they become quite handy later on.
Korean keyboards type out multiple letters per key (probably while typing in Hangul mode). One of which is "ke". Wikipedia used to have a section for OMG ZERG RUSH KEKEKE under the Something Awful entry, but it's not there anymore.
I figured the Korean kekekekekekekeke[unsticks key]kids would be the ones to find it beneficial. More spyware-removing favors means more money for kim chi during those long hours playing Lineage.
Measure that in negative values. AOL ships Viewpoint Media Player, a known spyware, with their client, which supposedly also includes anti-spyware software.
For a while, that program was broken, too. The only thing it would run on was this proprietary IBM expansion slot (MSA?) Sound Blaster 2.0 in a docking station for a laptop. I was ecstatic to find out it worked in VDMSound (for 2000/XP).
Plus, for anybody who remembers TRAN.COM, the PC speaker-utilizing text-to-speech program from the 80s, DOSBox seems to run that just about as well as it ran natively (some issues with playing too slow also occured on the 286/386). I think I enjoyed it way too much doing things like typing, "I'm going to get you, sucka! pppppppppppppppppppp" Just because the repetitive "P" sounds formed a machine gun effect.
My brother and I still go around telling eachother "I beleive you are miss-tacken".
It's strange all the weird inside jokes I've had with friends and family. I was surprised that there was one that propagated pretty far in high school. If you've ever seen that Bill Gates hit by a pie video, you'd understand it. If not, weird looks ensue. Basically, it got to the point where one person would shout to someone else across the quad during a break, "UnstrammanaBillGates!" and the other person would reply "Mah mit pullon!"
"UnstrammanaBillGates" was a catch phrase my junior year in high school. It got pretty carried away.
Quit bathing and quit changing your clothes. after a week or so, they wont bother you for the trivial things anymore. after a month, they'll start to consider whether the question is important _before_ they ask.
Sounds like you've been listening to Sam Kinison's advice!
"You want her to leave? Just be a total asshole. I mean- don't shave, sell the TV. She comes to you, saying, 'I can't be with you anymore,' and SHE GOES AWAAAAY! AAAAHAHAHAHAHA! IT WORKS!!!"
Throughout the late 90s, you could see the commercials slowly creep in, too. About 1995, it was "Rogaine!.....It's a patch!.........It's a patch! Call your doctor," followed by "Contact your doctor to see if [generic-named drug] is for you" commercials that only get the drug's name out, not its purpose.
Now the drug commercials are almost like ads for everything else. The next step is getting rid of the 30 seconds-worth of the disclaimers like, "Warning: may cause testicles to become disconnected and vulcanized, indistinguishable from a high-bounce ball."
Ten years ago, I never thought it would be found acceptable to advertise pharmaceuticals by TV, but here we are.
I might consider it if extremely basic options such as gapless playback and the ability to appear as a regular external storage device to a usb-connected PC get introduced.

Ooookay, I got modded overrated by a mod who apparently doesn't read Penny Arcade, thereby not understanding the whole Pac Man on the TV thing.

Damn, this 4-bladed razor still hurts my face. Razor companies: ARE YOU LISTENING?!
And what percent of the time is Saturday Night Live actually live anymore? Every time I watch it (on NBC), it always has the prerecorded disclaimer.
Of course, if you live on the west coast, you're never getting it live.
install linux, problem solved
I think I got the "ke" thing off of Wikipedia, but now that part of the entry's gone - someone probably found out the info was wrong.
So "kekekeke" may actually be "Kiokiokiokiok" or "Yuk yuk yuk yuk".
Maybe they're Goofy fans.

Lemme get this straight - you now need a feature to have people not read others' blogs? Again with the useless features, people!

Haha, by far the funniest line I've ever heard in Dr. Sbaitso is when my brother typed in, "I CAN THROW POOP"
Dr. Sbaitso: "CAN YOU THROW POOP FOR ME NOW?"
Gabe?

How much time does Jon Stewart spend describing the Supreme Court Justices?
seems like a simple enough device to me, but apparently I was mistaken.
When books such as Macintosh for Dummies exist, it's no surprise.
