Will, I actually agree with Lagged on this issue, and I think you are being a little bit immature about the whole thing. I don't know if you are mad that these people "stole your idea" or are "taking your space", but unless you make a load of cash or you go and live off the land somewhere, you...

No.. they sing them with a little bit of harmony, and a warbled voice.. and some gayness. It is freaking weird sounding. Maybe it's changed since 10 years ago in tech school.. a couple of squids trained at Sheppard AFB, so we were able to see them sometimes.

Joke all you want - that's a chunk of change! [Seriously, at least]. Navy seems like a good deal. I wish you the best. The only negative thing I really have to say about the Navy is, you guys have the WORST sounding "Jodies" [tunes you sing when you march]. Before I enlisted, when I was...

Walking into a Harbor Freight store is a coupon in itself. I suppose that coupon would be good for something high-dollar - I was just saying that you can get decent tools for cheap there. I bought all of the tools I use for work there. They are good enough to work, and last, and cheap enough to...

I wonder how they will change XP and/or Vista in order to make people, even those who protest now, switch to Vista. Does anyone have any insight as to how they would do just that? Win98, especially SE, was a huge improvement over Win95. ME Sucked, but Win2K was really quite nice. It had problems...

The Civic needs a tune-up and still gets over 30mpg. If it's near empty, I can throw 9 gallons in. That usually gets me 320 miles. I used to get over 350 miles per fill-up when I had a longer commute. It's a '98 LX auto, so nothing really special or sporty.

That is absolutely amazing. The world has been waiting for something like this for years. I think that HIV/AIDS was one of the biggest pushes for sex ed. in school, to make sure that people were aware.

From what I have been reading, I heard that MS was eventually going towards a subscription model OS. I can barely stomach paying $120ish for an OEM version of XP Pro or '05 MCE, and those two haven't been a letdown. I can't believe that people actually spent good money on monstrosities like...

The graphical advantages have not been huge with games that run both DX9 and DX10, but the performance hit you take IS huge when comparing DX9/XP to DX10/Vista. When it comes to games that run in both DX9 and 10, it's best to stay with XP and DX9. If you absolutely MUST play a DX10 only game...

We encounter stereotypes everyday. Joe has stereotyped that if you walk up to a black guy and "drop the 'N' bomb", you are going to get a black eye - in other words, all black guys can kick your ass, by default. Remember this, white people.

Racism sucks. Everyone has prejudices, but hatred based on the color or skin? There are much better reasons to dislike other people.

That would make a pretty good "owned" picture.

About 5 years ago, swaq - we were both on I-Supra as I recall. You never started any BS, never tried to get under people's skin, asked the right questions, you requested instead of expected help, and were overall a very pleasant person. There is a reason that your age has never been a negative...

Age does not equal maturity, but let's face it: younger people have a good chance of acting in ways that annoy older people. Example: If you ever say or type something that resembles "I am only [x] but people tell me that I am more mature and act older!", you are announcing your youth. Who...

I'll be at work tonight so, no. I thought about it anyway, but no.

Fuck it, kill them. I'd imagine throwing a whole batch of any type of strong insect fogger up there could make 'em drop dead. Cleanup would suck, but it'll cost less than an exterminator. Don't take my word for it - just an idea.

Terribly ugly [despite a superb resto!], wonderfully fast. :D

I am playing HL2 and I haven't checked the exact settings, but it looks amazing. I have a X1950Pro as well. I am playing the game at 1680x1050 on a 22"WS. I am only running an Opteron 165 [dual 1.8ghz] and 2GB of DDR [DDR-1] memory, with a striped pair of 80GB drives and I have zero problems...

Why are people so opposed to the idea of calling a Taxi-Cab? I'll pay a cab to take me TO [and from, of course] a bar if I know that I am going to do a bit of heavy drinking. This sounds like an urban legend or "internet story", and I am sure it's meant to be funny, but I can;t believe how many...

Pretty nice out there, huh? I was there almost a month ago to spread my uncle's ashes. That area is quite beautiful, so long as you are away from traffic. As I recall, fires in L.A., Riverside, Orange and San Diego counties are fairly common. There were a couple of years in a row back in the...
