Had to go rent "I Robot" to get my sci-fi jones taken care of. Now THAT was a good movie. Ridley Scott got it MUCH righter with Blade Runner, IMHO. I. Robot was much truer to "I'm a Will Smith Vehicle" than to the book, not that rigid adhesion to the book makes a good film. Not that I want to get i...

Driveway, wht th fck? The Life Aquatic? I watched that movie, didn't laugh once, and felt like I missed 10 minutes in the beginning that would have tied together why they made that movie. Maybe I missed something, so please, what the hell was that movie about? And if you'da looked here, I warned you...

Thank you for reminding us to cherish our loved ones while they are here, to keep those not so fortunate around the world in our thoughts and prayers, and to devise and practice our emergency plans before they are needed.

I can vouch for the glucosamine sulfate, it does work. I totally agree on the blackberry thing, sheesh, is this the eighties or the 21st fucking century? Can someone please explain to me why bosses are so goddamned stupid that they don't understand that phones are a much more efficient way to commun...

Ok, before you flame me, yes, I have searched (and searched and searched ) and I haven't been able to find it, and I don't want to waste more of my life doing so, so I'm asking some helpful soul if someone ever came up with a way to unsubscribe to the etf thing so I can use that email again? If so, ...

Finally, I believe that while logic has a real place in human affairs, that emotion is the real key to the choices we make. Asking people to believe the better formal arguement without getting to the gut is a losing proposition, because you will never actually persuade and the person on the other e...

Over the years I've found a few progs I use regularly, most free- (why pay for expensive bloatware that doesn't work as well?) my favorite I've just discovered that AUTOMATICALLY (as opposed to how I used to have to do it, manually, one slice at a time, select, name, save, ugh) chops long audio file...

is there a general favorite computer program thread I could recommend good/great/free programs? couldn't find it, and I wanted to recommend this cool program I FINALLY found (been searching for something that would split mp3s off and on for weeks) that is; a) FREE b) Splits long audio files into par...

whoop, too right, I was confused by sam's culling of my words from another thread, (is that cross-posting really necessary just to call someone a doody-head sam?) I thought this was the "stupid work annoyances thread". Mea culpa. Since the thread wasn't being used much anyway, I don't feel I should ...

Why is that a good idea? Often the level of shit contained within a human becomes very evident in a short period of time... unless, of course, the human in question is a) not full of shit or, 2) A completely, sneaky, bullshitting bullshitter who covers the shit with more shit (to the point where th...

Type: logical discourse (usually one-sided)
Target:Hypocrisy

Actually, this is pretty funny-

As Stuart said, observe the pattern; i.e., when called on their own bullshit, those guilty, lacking a coherent rationalization for their actions resort to 5th grade namecalling...

Sorry, I don't have time to play semantic wordgames today. Why don't you explain to me why it isn't rude to pronounce someone full of shit based on one comment in a previously polite and pleasant discussion? That sounds pretty rude and attacking to me, but maybe you can enlighten me as to why I shou...

Actually, they may seem like different areas, but to me they're very related. If I were to so much as look at the area where people are posting questions, asking for help, ideas to solve mechanical problems, raise funds, do thisthatortheotherthing, etc, my helpful nature would (not might, would) ta...

In my continuing quest to improve myself, I try to use the feedback I get from others- but unfortunately the image others have of me may be less than accurate if the person reflecting it is warped themself, or even cracked. In that case, I try and help them by giving them a little feedback so that t...

Hey, what with my internet addiction in general and eplaya addiction in specific, I'm quite happy to be able to keep my surfing to a minimum... My beautiful wife is happier that way too, cuz it means those minutes are spent with her instead of looking at someone's automatic watermelon seed spitting...

It's good to know common sense wins over stupidity.

At least on the net anyway.

"Executive" fucktards who are NEVER wrong that will calmly and with a straight face (although I can tell that they know they're full of shit and are just having their little power moment) condescendingly explaining to you that I should "just know" by using common sense that the words "expected on" o...

Work annoyances? Yeah, how about the entire "executive" (this word used in this context to convey only that they outrank me) level of this relatively small family owned business, who seem to think that all that's required to be a professional or to be professional is the ability to buy office suppli...

Anything with Johnny Depp is good, even "Dead Man", though it's really ... hmmm... odd. Though beautiful. "Have you heard my poetry?" Heh, love that. Neverland was surprisingly touching, though I think that was for personal reasons so I'm not recommending it highly. "The city of lost children" is vi...

Per the radio shack double-male connection wire- if they have a long enough one fairly cheap, then that's the way to go, just make sure it's stereo. If they want more for it than it would cost to assemble one yourself using two male-end connectors (also available at radio shack), then you can just m...

The soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto Vice City- it's surprisingly good, whether listening to the wave (80's, including thomas dolby, frankie goes to hollywood, INXS, etc) or the comical "talk" stations. I won't even try to describe those. I turned off the tv and piped the "talk" stations feed through...

so, because you couldnt' go, you lost all interest in seeing what others were taking, using, gleaning, asking, telling, learning, growing, finding, loving, hating, creating.....??? a real community member, I see... Hey, what with my internet addiction in general and eplaya addiction in specific, I'...

I beg to differ with the crossposting complaint, I haven't ventured outside of the general discussion area for a couple of years since I haven't been able to afford to go to BM for the last couple of years. . so, because you couldnt' go, you lost all interest in seeing what others were taking, usin...

So the forum administrators are now responsible for what people stick in their noiseholes?

Yeesh.

The people on this planet are so stupid and illogical sometimes...

I beg to differ with the crossposting complaint, I haven't ventured outside of the general discussion area for a couple of years since I haven't been able to afford to go to BM for the last couple of years. This is a serious enough topic that I for one would excuse the crosspost. Have you figured ou...

I am deeply offended by your post and will begin my jihad against you heathenry as soon as I return from the forest where I need to chop down one of my lord's trees in order to celebrate his birthday.

Again, my apologies- but "Khan!" just didn't convey that crazyass look on Shatner's face as he yelled his guts out, and the camera swooping away from him, a great moment in classic cornball celluloid over the topness. How about this one; "It's his way." Great for it's ambiguousness, and yet easily r...

Khan!!! Actually Bob, that should be; KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!...

Last nights South Park was absolutely the funniest christmas tv show I've ever seen.

Unfortunately it relies a lot on shock value, so I doubt I'll be able to enjoy repeated viewings as much as the first one...

If you didn't see it, try and catch the repeats, it's laugh out loud funny.
