    Dude, I am fairly certain she hasn't changed much since sometime in the mid 80s. Except for maybe the wardrobe (when other people are footing the bill) and her hair. If you looked in her closet I bet you would find an acid washed denim jacket with Van Halen and Warrant patched sewn on.

    I know both of those expressions. And apparently I know at least one more than you also. I have heard others use the expression before, so I can't take any credit for coining it. But thanks for offering.

    Really? When you have sex, do you do it with thousands of watts of spotlights illuminating every tiny detail? Or do you do it like the rest of the population in less than "broad daylight in the dessert" conditions?

    Yes, ATI came out with it's new SaraCUDA card. It comes decked out in really expensive case (that somebody else paid for), has lipstick, and doesn't take any crap from Nvidia cards. If the device drivers don't handle it correctly, it has been know to throw tantrums. Comes packaged with the game "Big Moose Hunter". CAUTION - adding this card to your computer may cause your peers to have less support for your system.

    Plus that fact that there were more school shootings in the 70s and 80s than in the 90s and 00s. Blame CNN for this. 24 hour news channels are the biggest fear mongering entities out there. There isn't really enough news to keep broadcasting 24/7 so they need to sensationalize.

  19. Re:The UK on Game Makers Accusing Innocent People of Piracy In the UK · · Score: 1

    All laws are selectively enforced. If the police in question are human beings, it would be near impossible to do their job with absolutely zero bias. It is not always a bad thing - sometimes cops will use their discretion to NOT enforce a law when it would clearly serve no purpose.
    I guess the point I am trying to make is it is better to have cops you trust to make the right decisions (and yes, there will always be a few bad apples) than to hire any dimwit and have a long and strict code of rule enforcement and conduct.

    In order for comedy to exist, someone, by nature, has to get the short end of the stick. Don't be bitter because you think your guy is getting the short end more often.

    Besides, after McCain loses, they will stop making him the butt of the jokes and it will be all about making Obama look dumb. They may have a political bias on those shows, but ratings are still the bottom line.
    And if you truly can't stand those shows anymore, don't watch them. It IS a free country still, enjoy it while it lasts.

    I shortened the exact title "ruggies" was short for. The technical term it is a shortened form of is "stupid little shit annoying rug rats ruining things for the rest of us in their parent's basement" - if you are not into the brevity thing.

    There was a term for them long before "the internets" were flooded with them.

    In the olden days of BBSs, we used to call them "ruggies" which was short for "rug rats". But "script kiddies" is even more accurate of a description, seeing they are basically just following along a "recipe" for cracking something.
