9 1 1 changed everything!
Not sure what you're complaining about, this is brave new world we're living in. Get used to it, or are you an al-queda sympathizer? Your obstinance raises red flags all over the board!
We have more important issues to deal with here down on earth. For example, spending BILLIONS every month to kill Iraqi's.. insurgents I mean, terrorists? Whatever... Fuck all of those brown people. God Bless America motherfucker. BTW, Have you forgotten about 9/11 ? What's your obsession with that goofy telescope? You've forgotten about 9/11! Fuck all floating shit in space, who's side are you fighting on anyways? Don't you love your country? If you do then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win? Son, all I've ever asked of my fellow americans is that they obey president Bush's wishes as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Iraqi's, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
They're just mp3's... they were around before the "iPod" and will be when the "iPod" fades away in the dustbin of long forgotten history. For example, http://www.teachco.com/ has been around a lot longer than the "iPod" and offers a pretty good selection of university level lectures on almost any subject. Although, it's preferrable to order the dvd-video for the math and science courses. The Modern Scholar also offers "podcasts" as well, google their name it should be easy enough.
"It is in the manufacturer's "best interest" to support what their customers want."
So why do they bother including support for DRM'ed Microsoft formats? Seriously who wants that rubbish, but just about every new portable player includes it.
Sorry about this mate, but she told me she was 18 years old. Even showed me a drivers licence.. She looks at least 18.... Next time I'll call myspace.com and verify the girls age instead!
When I need to protect my data from spying eyes I secure a 500m sata cable into the back port and slowly, very carefully; feed the hard drive into the event horizon. Giving it a good yank after a few minutes and reeling it back in.. the drive returns to normal working condition afterwards.
"Hitting someone with a frying pan? What fool would take that?
But using a blunt object? If you're anything other than a spaz, you'll crush a few ribs the first time you connect. Then the fights over."
We live in a nation where 45% of eligible voters believe the world is 6000 years old and their kids think WWF wrestlers are quality role models to be emulated.... It doesn't surprise me at all that people are smacking each other around with frying pans.
Agreed, and people should remember that CFC production and usage never went to zero during all these years. There's only a handful of western nations that actually banned a handful of ozone "depleting" chemicals.
Drive down to mexico and get your cars air conditioner charged with a real coolant, not the environmentally friendly bullshit they're forced to use in the states.
I would toss in "DVDScreener-Rip" 2nd to last in that list... sometimes they're just as good as the dvd but I've noticed a good bunch of them go black & white for a few minutes and also include a lot of on-screen 'fbi type warnings'..
I really have no idea but maybe there's a public DB of ip blocks sorted by their country of ownership somewhere on google? I would start off by blocking everybody, then building a whitelist isp's that looked foreign..
If you're american, just shut off all peer connections from your comrades in the states.. connect to japanese/canadians/europeans.. I'm sure they'll be happy to share files with you.
People wouldn't be so adverse to the commercials if they weren't so god damn annoying.. and depressing, and all of those commercials that try to make the viewer feel guilty about something ie. Losing your hair you sad old man? too much fat around your waist fatso?? can't get your penis standing tall??? all the anti-smoking ads showing old and dying people talking like robots, drunk driving ads to make you feel ashamed about havin a little fun, anti-drug ads to make parents feel guilty about their teenage sons smoking some pot (you're an irresponsible parent! gimme a break eh)...
then all those god damn pharma-ads with warnings about the side-effects that cause erectile dysfunction/bladder control issues/possibility of stroke and heart attack.. nursing mothers shouldn't inhale this stuff/etc etc..
TV is a fucking mess lol.
Try this for a commercial you network bitches, I might even watch it.
"Hi, I'm Jake and I'd like you to try our new shampoo. it works well and controls dandruff" -> camera closeup on shampoo bottle.
Quebec is it's own special little place in the world, they speak neither 'french' nor are they Canadian. And they elect people to FEDERAL positions from the sovereigntist party, go figure. Know what kills me though, I've travelled all over Europe, from Prague to Barcelona/Helsinki to Rome and I never had a problem speaking English with people.
I can't say the same thing about Quebec.. a lot of people refuse to speak English and they're fucking rude about it. Even in Montreal there is a snidey attitude about English. I don't know if they're elitists or what the problem really is but I dread having to travel to that province.
I think Freenet performs something like what is described in this article, but I'm hardly a crypto expert. I do know that freenet slices up data that is inserted into small chunks (I believe it's 32k chunks with the newest darknet.) There is also healing chunks too... the only disadvantage with backing up data on freenet is that data/information that is rarely accessed falls off the network as newer information replaces it.
The current regime in washington appears to have a sickly obsession with porn, homosexuals and religiously defined marriage. Do the people who voted for republican party really think it's wise that a big central government in washington is dictating cultural norms to the country?

Come on mods, that is funny.. lighten up would ya. Golf doesn't need to be expensive but it definitely can be if you so choose to invest money into it. The expensive uber-elite private courses with yearly membership fees of $50K are really the exception. I play every monday & tuesday on a public course with a neighbour (it's only a short 5 minute walk) and it costs $14 to play 9 holes... on the weekends its a bit more expensive but with a group of friends + case of beer, it's worth the money.
Every year I end up buying a new club of some sort, sometimes I'll drop a few bucks on a putter, couple of hundred a year in total I would guess. Kids probably spend twice as much as I do on their Xbox games and jolt, so it's all relative IMHO. The only time I take the game of golf seriously is when I step up to the ball and do what I can to get it close to the hole...
If you're interested in golf I would suggest grabbing a bag of clubs from a local garage sale, it doesn't have to be fancy.. just make sure the heads aren't loosening up (that can be repaired for a few dollars at the pro-shop.) Find a public course near you and enjoy walking the course, it's healthy way to get in some mild exercise.

It's about time some of the perpetrators of 911 have been tried and convicted.. Saddam got his, now we will get the others that attacked our nation!
How many episodes of season 3 have been produced so far? Please please tell me it's more than 10.

just had their asses owned by that worthless korean team... seriously, either the ball truly is f*cked up or the french team just sucks, period.

I bet you're not a swedish legal expert either.

Ya, it does sound familiar...

End of commercial. thank you very fucking much.
(BTW, Michael Moore made like $12 million on that film -- has anybody else profited more from the war in Iraq?)
Ya, I can think of a few people in Washington that have.
