I used to like the female callers. I'd immediately say they sound really cute, and ask them what they are wearing. Before joining the DNC list, I almost coaxed one into phone sex as she was incredibly bored and the last one in her office for the day. She bailed, though.:-\ Chicken.
Our IT people- oh, wait, the current buzztitle is Information... I-something Serivces... or other whatsis- believe they are running our network in a competent manner, so my opinions on IT beliefs are rather low. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go download a 100Kbyte data sheet for the next hour or so, figure out what IP address they arbitrarily changed the Exceed server to and hope that I don't have to rewrite all mu Unix scripts due to another wacky unannounced configuration whim of the sysadmins.
What are you talking about? Did you follow the link?
Any grown adult with any kind of technical education who thinks the moon landings were hoaxed has mental problems. Period. End of argument.
This is one of those rare non-ideological issues where there is truly no middle ground. Every last item put forth to prove a hoax has been completely debunked a hundred times over. It's as dead as the flat Earth theory and orgone energy. Moon hoax believers are no better than Creationists.
I have a window, but all I see is a concrete courtyard with the occcasional squirrel.
Not sure if the squirrels are female or not.
My repeated attempts to get a branch office opened right next to a local beachside walking/biking path have been met with laughter and derision from my bosses.
Will it deliver an electric shock to the commercial director who somehow managed to distill the essence of the concept of "annoying" and reform it into the shape of a television advert?
I'll tell you. Politics and ideology fuck everything in the ass until it bleeds to death. Mod me troll if you like, but that is the core of the problem. You can't trust any "scientific" result from anyone anymore. People will just buy into the "data" from the side to which they are most sympathetic.
Maybe you can believe some of the studies that come from some of the more esoteric parts of science, like cosmology and string theory, where political ideology has a hard time getting it Hellraiser hooks in, but even those could be muddied by grant money requirements and blinkered philosophies.
the egotism and selfishness in the statement is extraordinary
Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, sport, it's discussion of video games, not a think tank debate on how to combat global nuclear terrorism. Switch to decaff.
Believe it or not, there is an objective universe out there where A is A, and value judgements of something like a video game can be made stripped of subjective factors.
I never said it wasn't fun for other people. You might want to learn to focus on what a person actually said before responding. I said the gameplay was weak and not well though out compared to the raw technology. Anything beyond that is your own fevered imagination.
I'm sure there's people who like Barbie's Horse Adventure and Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness, but there's people who like all sorts of inferior crap. That doesn't mean it's not crap.
Who's bent out of shape? Some of you people need to learn not to read so much into text. I was quipping, not complaining. Honestly, I think anyone who actually gets emotional about a video game needs to see a shrink.
So since Doom 3 wasn't a real game, id's marketing it as a game is fraud, then?
Have to agree here. So much of PC gaming seems to be a wankfest between the 3D engine designers to see who can make the coolest effects, and gameplay is treated like afterbirth.
"Wow, this game is pretty! What do I do? Shoot those demons over there? OK. Woo! Now what? Shoot the other demons?... OK. Um, whee. Now what?... More demons? Um, ok..."
Then along comes something like Ratchett & Clank or Sly Cooper with cartoony graphics, silly characters and more raw *fun* packed into a single level than most FP shooters have in their entire spans.

I think there a threesome up in the elm tree, but it's unconfirmed.

Oh, my! Human resources wouldn't like that!

"Mentally handicapped" is a very broad and generic term.
If you honestly think the moon landings were faked, you are mentally handicapped.

They'll never eliminate the ability to burn to CD. That's the eternal loophole. ;-) No different than an AAC to AIFF to MP3 conversion.
Right there you lost me. Me no want monthly plan. And I can convert Apple's AAC stuff to non-DRM MP3s and they sound great.
It's just a festival of funny! :-)
Science fiction authors were already dropping the things, and physicists were openly speculating about atomic bombs in the 1930s.
One SF author got so close to reality he was questioned by government agents.

Wasn't Firefox the mind controller fighter plane from that Clint Eastwood movie?
We're number three! :-)

Hey, I tease. :)
But seriously... Nyquist and all that.
You misspelled American.
"Demanding that something American obsolete is quite suspicious."
I don't get it.
So this deadline will either end poverty or increase the birthrate amongst the poor. :)
And no one can read the pottery because the original RFCs are lost. Yeah, the Rosetta Stone helped in some areas, but others remain a mystery.
