When was the last time the Presbyterians beheaded someone, Kai? Nobody's ever been killed in the name of Christ? And our President, self-proclaimed Believer, has sentenced record #'s to death row when he was governor. Was he Christian then? And let me get this straight: was Islam evil before oil do...

In my opinion these are the physically weak people with large intellects that are very far removed from the warrior class. They must have serious self image problems deriving from a pathelogical fear of street corner bullies picking on them. So their only tool to fight back is to hide in secluded u...

Can you fetch your mail using POP3? Yes, although you may have to sign up for premium ($20/yr) service - which now gets you a 2GB mailbox and probably a bj every now and then. This is a response, in large part, to GMail's features. Shows you what a competitive environment does for software developm...

You really can't eat anything. If people are looking for substance fears, there's plenty to be afraid of (starting with the alarming quantities of lead continually being released into the atmosphere). So Aspartame's been around for almost 25 years? Good, I'll keep drinking it. I already have enough ...

Feels good to have ruffled feathers, don't it? That's the secondary purpose of the internet (the primary, of course, being porn).

I could picture myself eating a bowl full of cooked bugs. Just remember mayhem, for every bug you eat that you see, theres 10 more that you didnt see. I know, I keep trying to tune out the thought. I hit the salad bar at the local grocery store for lunch today. I probably get a couple bugs a week j...

All I get from Bush and Kerry are sweeping generalizations with no specifics. The sad fact is that that's all they can afford. Too many promises are too many chances for egg in the face later (for example, repealing the car tax in California, and it's effect on the budget). Blame the electorate. Th...

She knows about the honey ants and all sorts of edible crawlies, and actually schedules vacations based around what insects are available locally. Yeck. I just can't stomach the idea...

Ants in the pants
So I get to the bottom of the tasty bowl-of-cereal-for-supper, and there's an ant floating there. I wince, and wander back to the counter where I usually leave the cereal box out for convenience's sake. Sure enough, a stream of ants led inside the box, right to the bottom. :oops: MehYam eats ants. W...

Wait - what are you guys talking about?

Having never actually encountered feminism or ...

I wouldn't take that press release as gospel that movies/series will be made. I kinda hope they won't be... with anything less than the effort put into the LoTR movies, they would just fall short of the books. Just started book six (Chaos), BTW. Book five (Fires) was the best yet. I dunno why, but I...

That's not such a bad setup. games.yahoo has a bunch of 100-500MB games that you can rent for three days at $5 a pop... so the precendent of download and play w/o CD media is solved.

wonder if it has a CDROM. I was wondering that too, it wouldn't be much use without it. I was thinking that they could provide some sort of caching mechanism - a way to copy CDROMs for the current games you're playing to the unit, in a secure way that wouldn't violate DRM rules for games with copy ...

How the US is seen?
This made me chuckle a bit. Some of the historical bits presented are exagerated, but they're actually beside the point, and not worth debating. The more interesting thing, IMO, is how representative this is of the cynicism with which other countries view the U.S. I think it's safe to say that the w...
