    I'd guess and say that 90% of the motorcycle population is faster than 90% of the car population.

    But the thing about motorcycles it not just the fact that they're fast. Its the fact that they go fast, fast.

    You mean just like [Phoenix]? ;-)

    Actually, if you look at stats from the Hurt report. Take away all the stats for the dumbasses who rode while under the influence of 1 or more drugs, rode without a helmet, and the ones who didn't even have their license and you're left with very few casualties.

    I believe the author was talking about a computer who's users could handle more than one mouse button... and that could run 3rd party software. ;-)

    damn, i was just about to write that same post.

    i love how if its an "ask slashdot" about a mac problem, its a Troll, but if its a PC or MS problem, its a free-for-all battle of flames and slams from the haters, and helpful solutions from others.

    I would recommend plugging in your phone cord or ethernet cord before you try to go online next time. This usually is a big help in avoiding "downtime."

    well, they did post their question. so since we all know that PCs are "unusable" to mac users due to their "impossible" interface, the questioner must've used a mac to ask their question. how do you suppose that they asked it without connecting to the internet?

  18. Re:Under age on Do You Homebrew? · · Score: 1

    that reminds me of a funny, -1 Offtopic story...

    I was working as a "roadie" at a Kenny Rogers concert one time, at a local college, when I was a senior in high school. As it got to be around 2am on a school night, I began to grow tired of lifting 500# speakers into the back of a semi. A couple of my friends and I would chant "BEER!" as we lifted heavy stuff. We were chatting with some of the college kids about how refreshing a beer would be. When this one kid said he didn't drink beer, I just said "oh yeah?", expecting to hear that he comes from a family of alcoholics/was a recovering alcoholic/has no liver/has no kidneys/is allergic to hops, or some valid excuse as to why he did not drink beer. Instead, he only answered with "Well, I'm not 21 yet!"

    We had a good laugh at the poor soul's expense.

    The moral of the story is that you don't have to be of age to drink. Drinking underage is a crime not unlike speeding, very few people give a shit if you break the law as long as you aren't excessive about it. ...and yes, we did get to hear "The Gambler".

    That's why dogs like Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, etc. are so smart and fit. The Australian Shepherd "breed" was made up of many other breeds and also whatever mutts that were around at the time that appeared to be good at herding.

    Mutts are hands down the healthiest, smartest, and unique dogs out there. They almost always make the best pets.
