I've won 8 million virtual dollars from Deal Or No Deal by picking either case 6 or 9. Six because it's been my favorite number, 9 because of how September 9th always fucks me over. And, I also know if I ever got on the show, if I picked 6, it would have a penny and 9 would have the million. Or vice versa. Because, guess what? That actually DID happen a few weeks ago.

The best fan-fucking-tastic reply I've seen all day!

I never claimed I was taught anything I needed to make it in real world. Either in computer science or life itself. Actually, I believe I have lamented the first fact many times before. And, well, probably the second, too. #39;(

ICH BIN ERHLICHT! SO SEHR, SEHR ERHLICHT! HA! You're just jealous because I could actually MAKE that connection, on sight, myself! Well, 'tis to be expected. Genius, such as I, is rarely recognized within the lifetime of said genius. So, I guess, best to be a self fulfilling prophesy, I suppose! HERE'S TO IMMORTALITY, REMEMBERED AS THE GENIUS I WAS!

There's been an election race involving one Bob Ehrlich that has gotten news attention. Well, Fox News attention, so, who knows, really, how important this may have been. BUT, it has always made me laugh when he's mentioned. Because ehrlich is a German word that can mean one of the following: aboveboard candid decent direct fair faithful forthright frank honest honorable ingenuous on the level open plain sincere single Now, I wasn't aware it actually meant all these different things. Only honest. But, I always thought it funny. A politician who never ran on his own name? "I'm Bob Ehrlich, and, remember, that means, I'm honest!" I think single is a funny one, too. "I'm Bob Single. Vote for me? Marry me? PLEASE?!" #39;(

Sy N. Ide?

Hmmm. I somehow missed that the firmware was displayed there... wow. I'd toss these gabapentin if I didn't depend on them, in terms of a psychological, physical, and emotional dependency... oh, pill bottle! I STILL love thee, despite thy new smell of rocket fuel! Tooltip! That's the word! Yes, believe it or not, I really DO have a computer science degree. Well, technically, it says Mathematical Sciences on it... something else I worked hard for and didn't get. Oh, well.

I was wondering/thinking of a possible addition. You know those windows that appear when the mouse floats over whatever it is the programmer wants them to? How there are those for the free space on disk, etc. I was thinking about one that appears when the mouse hovers over the drop down list that contains the target the drives. And then a dialog of attributes about the drive. Like the currently installed firmware version. And, well, I can't think of anything else. Mostly, I was just thinking about the firmware version as something to appear in a hover window.

What's it called? I only remember the one with Steganos in its name.

How about a really ironic death? Let's gas him with his own weapons of mass destruction that he didn't have.

(Sung to the chorus tune in between stanzas of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius) Join the Party! Goose step in time! Join the Party! Goose step in time! Obey the orders or you'll die! Join the Party! Goose step in time! Who would have thought, 10 years ago, when I made that up, that the one person who laughed at it would become my girlfriend...

Are you kidding? I'd pull a Kung Pow: Enter The Fist! I'd use salt, lemon juice, and mercury on the wound! I would then legally change my name to Mark K. Desaad.

Might actually be fun if it was a real life version of the Tifa bitch slap fight you get to play in for Final Fantasy VII!

Yeah, a real piece of work. Wants to access the Internet in ADDITION to setting itself up as a SERVER. It's just designed as a master interface for a music subscription service. And, yes, you have to get the update separate, so, bye byte lifetime of free updates. I'll be sticking with the old software.

Decided to try Yahoo's version of their jukebox since Windows need a restore anyway. There is something very interesting in the license terms of use. We always expected it, but, at least, they're open about it: "Yahoo! Music Jukebox will collect certain information about your usage of the Music Jukebox, and will transmit such information back to Yahoo!" Not unless I block the fucker in the firewall! (I wish they'd make firewalls where you can grant an application permission to receive, but, not send. None that I am aware of have this. If they do, inform me.)

Yes, there is. And as for Mitch, well, he's Mitch! He's just liked by everyone around here. Even I, when bored in American History class one day, drew him from a take off on a poster of him in the room as Jack Nicholson's Joker because of Mitch's famous grin. He was born in Alabama but raised in Louisville, so, he's really an Alabamian. But, like how Johnny Depp was born here in town but he isn't called a Kentuck because he was here so little a time. Around here, if you ain't talking about Mitch, you're talking about the nigh god incarnate Wendell Ford. And, seeing as how he's the Majority Whip, (Christ! I first typoed Whipe! ) seeing him anywhere makes sense.

Dude! What's with the gratuitous slap at the country which protects yours? Oh, boy... here it goes! We're all off to meet about this over in the Beta forum as we type.

Now, the guilty verdict is no surprise. But, it leads to an interesting question... Now that he's been sentenced to hang, will the US televise it? It would sure make for one fuck of a morale booster... but, dare anyone admit they'd take glee from watching another man die live on national television? Around where I live, the last legal public hanging in the US took place, sometime in like 1930's, I think. So, around here, it would probably bring back da good, ol' days o' lynchings. You know what Saddam should do if he was smart? Sell his own hanging on pay per view.

Well, Hell, once you ever install it, it doesn't go away. Uninstall it and you'll find a device driver still stuck in there, chipping away at system resources.

And, it's USB powered!

Ah, Nuts & Bolts! There's a blast from the past! I still have my Nuts & Bolts Platinum disc, somewhere. Bought, when was it? 1998? 2000? Next, I'll be reliving memories of QEMM, RamDoubler, and that infamous SoftRAM that tricked you into thinking it was working.

We aim to please! And, as the plaques over the urinals say: "Would you aim, too, please?" (Nipped from Benny Hill. )

If memory serves me correctly, Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to be running for re-election as the governor of California. I would like to offer a few suggestions for slogans for him to employ in these final hours before voting day: Vote for me if you want to live! Terminator 4 MORE YEARS! Are you Sarah Connor? Are you registered to vote? You're NOT?! Hasta la vista, baby! I'll be back... but ONLY if you vote for me! Are you a legal immigrant? The Governator could use your vote! Are you an illegal immigrant? No habla Engles? No problem-o! I am now, like everyone else in my party is at election times, entirely, 100% for building a wall between the U.S., and remember that's the US!, and Mexico. Are you an illegal immigrant? GET OUT!

Heard these lyrics on the Dr. Demento Show and, of course, thought of this thread immediately afterwards. http://spaff.com/poesy/madmax.html Mad Max got pulled over by a Hebrew Speeding down the coast on Thursday night You can say that Mel's an alcoholic But I think he was blitzed on Vegemite!

This could very well be one of those "Only in X, folks!" type of situation. But, what's a good way to prevent a patient from overdosing on medication? Use rocket fuel! http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/15833635.htm Pill bottle could deter drug abuse Dispenser would incinerate contents if dosage exceeded Basically, the idea is you put the pills next to a mickey of rocket fuel so that if a person tries to forcibly take more than the dose out of the bottle, it will IGNITE the pills and destroy them! Am I the only one who sees a problem here? What about contamination with the medicine? Or if the system goes off due to a false positive?
