Wait, when you say "squirles", did you mean squirrels or squirtles? Because if Pokémon takes place in some kind of parallel universe, that would probably explain a lot of things...

Not me. I enjoy watching watching the spam make it's long journey all the way to the client before being rejected outright. It just makes it so much more rewarding to get the spam's hopes up like that, and then smash them to bits.
Er, whoops, clarity issue. I was referring to the answer being stupid, not the question. Everyone knows that everyone on IRC, no matter which question you ask, will reply with "RTFM"
Flight Attendant: Please prepare for our landing in Tanzania... I'm sorry, it is now called "New Zanzibar." Excuse me. It is now called "Pepsi presents New Zanzibar."
This idea is based on a fatal assumption: that people who are going to want this type of stuff will broadcast their desire for it. Nobody I know would put in their sig: "Need viagra, please contact me if you have any."
... "Retinal Fetish"? WHOSE attention are you trying to attract with this post?

I've been playing HL1 and mods since long before Steam came out, and I think Steam was A. a much needed rewrite of the interface, and B. a great content distribution system.
It was always such a hassle to find the CD, install, then track down the patches from various sites online (many which required registration or waiting in line for a few hours), and then you'd need the CD anytime you wished to play, too. Steam fixed this by allowing us to download the full game, including patches, directly from Valve's servers, even if we'd lost our CD or CD-key long ago (I still have my CD-key memorized from the old days, though).
Plus, the original interface would pause the game when you went into the menu. Trying to change your controls for too long would cause you to timeout from the game, if you were playing multiplayer. When Steam rolled out, we were given a non-obtrusive UI, and were even given a basic IM client so we could communicate with friends and set up games without having to switch in and out of windows.
Overall, Steam is a lot better than many of the other alternatives available.
If these printers lockup whenever anyone tries to print money, what's to stop someone from inserting a dollar bill into a school/library copier, hitting start, and then walking away? Other than the fear of getting caught, that is.

He didn't just cheat on a test, he was also trying to sell the answers. Plus, it's entirely possible he was able to get more than just test answers.
Wanna hear something ever scarier? I didn't have to, either, but I clicked on it anyway.
Wait, did you think all the tinfoil hat comments were JOKES?

Did you happen to save any of it? By the time I got there, it was already slashdotted, and now the server won't respond.
The fools! If only they'd implemented the evil bit!
What, is this Xbox made in 1994?
Whoa, wait, you can do that? Why didn't we just update wikipedia earlier? It would've saved all of us from a lot of suffering...

Penis enlargement offers are obviously hate sites against small penises.
Phew, finally my 254.1 surround sound speaker system won't go to waste.
How are the fake Canadian pharmacies any worse than fake American pharmacies?

Obviously, the duct tape will need to be duct-taped onto your head.

You're right, that WAS pretty stupid.

Maybe they're on to something. If we can get these cars to run on 110VAC, then we can just connect the car to an extension cord.
