But... But... Corny is good! At least it's having to endure the 10-20 pages of cheap plotline in a cult comic, and not an hour of nearly boobless soft-core TV pr0n.
They say this concrete is plyable. Can it cushion my face hitting it at roughly 3 metres a second as I accidentally catch my foot in the spokes? Or is it mainly to be used to stand up to Boeing 777's in a 650 knot vertical dive? Either way, I don't want to have my face turn out more useless than Rambus... Ouch.

The days of sober Benders are getting closer, aren't they? I guess maybe my dreams will come true: Gouging my eyes out and being led around by a seeing-eye bot. Oddness prevails...
The satalite is going to eject a probe and have it slam into the comet, and we only get a measly 8-inch resolution? After the millions of dollars of investment and weeks and maybe months of number-crunching to get the trajectories down pat... Why only 8 inches? That's like trying to find out about a super-sonic aircraft mid-flight and getting only a glimpse of the logo on the side or the naked woman on the nosecone.
But of course, this is all based on the idea that we can catch a large ball of ice 3 UI away and analyze it. I mean... look at Jupiter. It tried to catch Hale-Bop (Or was it Shoemaker?) and got a rather large hole blown in the side of it (The size of the earth, last time I checked). Irony tells me that the probe will divert the comet and send it ripping our way.
This sounds familiar. Anyone know of DCOM? Exploit. ActiveX? Exploit. Being-online-at-all? Security issue. I think we're seeing a trend here with Micro$oft and their constant persistance to give us "features" that end up biting us in the ass.
God damn. I thought that might've been Rot13, but... I guess not.

I think that Microsoft fails to see the only way to make their data secure: Disconnecting it from the internet completely.
Just running any Windows box online is a security risk, and until Microsoft figures out that our "precious" data can only be secure by having absolutely no connection to it, will anyone have no breakins. It would make more sense for Microsoft to offer some sort of "data security lock-box" on their own machines, where their data is stored on disconnected machines, where if needed, a direct request to Microsoft can be given.
Well, Paul should stop touching little boys. I've tried working in the world of ametuer pædophiles, and they're all a bunch of unqualified ametuers. They can't do anything right.
The thing about repair computers, on whatever level it is, it pays the fscking bills. That's really all that matters.
Like I've stated before, I work at Best Buy's Geek Squad service. No need to reiterate. When I'm "off duty", I do free-lance computer repair for people, referenced-based only. I was recently at a lady's house in the middle of Bumblefuck, and she's having me install her computer (it was relocated for insurance reasons after a fire and she'd just got it back) back into it's spot. Had to reinstall Windows, she had ME... so I did her a favour and gave her XP Home. Anyways... the only 3rd-party software that I'd installed on her computer AT ALL was the Yahoo! SBC dial-up deal so she could just get online. That's all she wanted. Nothing else, just online capabilities. It turns out that the disc that Yahoo! sends you comes bundled with some "Easter Eggs" (quite convenient given the time of year) like MSBlast and some trojan with the process HWclock.exe (interminible). I ruled out the possibility that it were some OTHER software that gave her the virus, simply because the second after the XP tour deal ends (she was enthused to watch that mega-boring thing), I installed the Yahoo! SBC crap. Nothing else, just Windows and Yahoo! on that lonely hard disk, and she's already got a pair of viruses. Plus a few other things that I'm yet to get at becuase they disable access to regedit and task manager.
Yahoo! has nothing to be proud of really, and they should really check themselves before they get themselves into trouble for something like this. The lady I was servicing the computer of was almost going to publically boycott Yahoo! for it.
But in relation with the Google battle, I think they're just trying to cover the ground that Google's gaining on Yahoo!. Remember that Google is now a massive corperation who fires bloggers and gives "exclusive" memberships to their email services, and Yahoo! is so big they can only afford 2mb per box.
Isn't this the same as the guy who named his child "2.0" instead of "Junior"? I can't really expect much more creativity... next people are going to name their kids "Apple" and "Moonunit".
It depreciates existing at all. Windows, I mean. You can leave a car in the garage for 30 years with only 9 original home-from-the-lot miles on it, and it will become a gem. On the other hand, Windows is like a jar of mayonnaise left in your enemy's car in summer. Funny to see it happen to other people, but a shame when it happens to you.

Right next to Y-12 with a fishing area? What can you catch? Quadravision bass and triped frogs? I'll pass.
Though, I live in Greenwich and I'm probably going to take up the offer for the tour...

And I need to get her email address.

Oops. I think someone had on Dvorak or something when typing "crashes".
What I think is priceless is that while you don't hide shamelessly behind the Post Anonymously checkbox, he does... and he's the attack'r!
There was this wonderful game in the 30's that came out, and Milton Bradley ended up buying the game. I think it was like "monopole" or something.
I don't know about these ant things... arm them with just a nanoliter of Cyanide, and you've got one Hell of a pack of fire ants.

Gamers spend more than $700 a year: $341 on console titles, $233 on PC games and another $140 for accessories.
Jeez I hope I don't go over my limit...
Cool kid. Hiding behind the barrier of the internet. Fucking toughguy.

Lolololololololllllllllll What I like about Yahoo! though is their video search. Porn is mega easy to find.

This whole thing was probably off topic...
Mmmm.... bread and pastries...
Obesity has its upsides too. I don't have anything pro-nuclear though... except for the fact that I like winter.

Anyone remember what happened to Jeff Goldblum in that movie? I'd like to keep it that way. In the movie. I like my legs.
You can still listen to World Service at night on any NPR station.
