    Isn't that like a car manufacturer forcing you to only use a certain brand of fuel, or a certain brand of tyres?



    ps: I've never seen it spelt like that before. Tires? Is that what you're talking about?

    It's just like how a 205/55R15 tire will not fit on a 17"x5 rim...

    Was it ever illegal before to not be able to run Windows on a Mac?
    Nope. Because it wasn't because they were trying to make sure that you couldn't, it was because the os was incompatible with the hardware. Not illegal, incompatible.

    Maybe your kid could learn chess the same way he learned dodgeball: get beaten down until you realize the game is stupid and not for the weak anyway. I suggest you toss the little shit a football, or he's gonna be sucking cocks quicker than you can spit three times



    Some people don't deserve to live, or at least be part of a community. You, sir, are one of those people.

    He said six-year-old daughter. And a sharp mind is better than any game of football you could play with your infantile friends who go on to beat their wives. So wake up, pull that dick out of your own mouth (your own dick) and go play some chess, you'll get more out of it than you would ever think.


    Oh wait... You obviously don't think.
    By the way. Dodge ball is two words.

    It's time for the "sex is evil" meme to die.


    Wait... Are you suggesting we allow sex to be acceptable?
    That would make us European. And they are all communists. Looks like you need to do some serious re-thinking. Terrorist.


    Sex needs to stay taboo so that Americans can have something else to hide.

    HD porn... The though makes me shudder. come on, do you guys really want to see that boil in HD on that stripper/porn star's rear? In the current resolution it looks like a reddish spot. Also, most porn stars are not pretty to look at. do you really want to see the Hairy Uni-brow Midget in High Def? HD and porn is not a combination that someone really does not want.



    Holy god man. Stop downloading from http://www.can-fit-a-quarter-between-her-teeth.com /
    BAD BAD idea! Porn CAN be tasteful, sometimes even beautiful. You just need to go to the right places. According to everyone here, I'm an expert, I can refer you. Let me know. ;-)

    For someone who doesn't like that stuff, those are some awfully specific examples.

    Not that I'm implying anything.



    If you don't know about these things you must not venture much online. If you go outside of the realm of MSN.com, Google.com, Yahoo.com and others you will quickly see where I got some of these examples. In normal use (removing spyware / malware / viruses) from computers for customers you tend to get some pretty interesting popups. And when your client comes in complaining that they don't know why all these porn pop-ups "about grandmothers" keep coming up and you find that they have "Virtually Jenna" / "Virtual Sex Villa" on their computer you can find yourself faced with some interesting images. I tend to work on 1-3 computers a week removing malicious software and you would be surprised how many times the situation is simply they downloaded a dialer or a 3d porn application (installed it themselves) and are so embarrassed that they blame it on their 8 year old child and pay me to remove this "spyware" that they paid for. I'm not too interested in this stuff but I do tend to see it around.

  13. The Truth on Adult Entertainment Antes Up In DRM War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I heard somewhere that there are three things that have a lot of popularity online.

    1.) Porn
    2.) UFOs
    3.) Fantasy Football (more popular than porn during football season)

    I think that he's very right to say that the internet is the only reason these people are in business. There are so many disgusting pieces of smut to feast your eyes on that it's actually amazing that we all get anything done online. It once was that you would go online and stumble on a couple porno sites. Now it has moved in every direction. There is 3D porn software, there are websites where you can watch girls in Austria get naked, there are websites where you can watch someone's grandmother get it from all sides. I personally don't like any of this stuff but it is truly what keeps the internet going. If it weren't for all these websites, successful or not, there would be a couple million unregistered domains and who knows how many horny men.

    My point is that it's a good point that he makes.

    I personally have seen internet porn and I have many friends who watch internet porn, however I don't know that many people who buy the DVD / Mags / VHS tapes. I would be interested to see the quality of a Blue-Ray / HD-DVD porn because I would imagine it would be amazing. So in my opinion moving to a high-def format would up physical sales but perhaps stunt online sales (due to long downloads)

    What do you think?

    I think your sight is already hacked because you're too blind to realize that sight and site are two different things. Any just because they're pronounced the same doesn't mean they are the same thing. It's like son and sun.
