Heavy pc and crt, ok, but the subwoofer too? You know how heavy those things are? This would work in space maybe.

And I wonder where it's getting powered from. Is there an extension cord behind him, or maybe he's got a generator attached to his feet?
- Costa Walcott
But which way would it point? Or should there be two, one aimed at his face, and one on the visor of his hat, to see what he can see?

This is that fancy, dancy $200 Patron. Christmas is coming, that's all I'm saying. And of course, I'd share (before getting completely drunk and disrobing).
Lindsay and I wanna come to Cali for my 40th in February. I'm thinking SF though... We've only ever been there once and we've been to LA 4 or 5 times...
- Internet's Tad
it's super smooth, especially when chilled--in fact, it almost doesnt have enough flavor. but hey, i'll still put 5 on it :)
- Melissa Maskevich
I'd get that big ass bottle and drink with a straw.

i have something for you Derrick...gimme a sec..I'll post...
- Carlos Ayala
200$? it was 360 brittish sterling at the duty free at heathrow airport.... i had more than one free sample. ;)
- Chris Hollander
yeah. what melissa m. said. but i kind of prefer the strong mineral taste of the patron silver that just begs and pleads for salt and lime. you know...now i want to host a tequila tasting.

Well, kind of. The full Senate won't vote until Tuesday, but they committee will recommend that she be confirmed. And, given that the Senate is full of Democrats, it's almost certain that she will be. But never underestimate the ability of Congress to screw up a sure thing. ;)

"Depeche Mode are to release new studio album, ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ on April 20, 2009 on Mute. Recorded in Santa Barbara and New York with Ben Hillier, the band returned to their pioneering electro roots, using a lot of vintage analogue synthesisers and drum machines. Lyrically the release contains many of the group’s enduring obsessions plus more overt black humour than any of their previous collections. Like their 2005 studio album, ‘Playing The Angel’, ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ features writing credits for both Martin Gore, the group’s primary songwriter, and Dave Gahan who after honing his talents on two solo albums, has earned his place as Depeche Mode’s second writer. The release also marks a reunion between the band and producer Ben Hillier (Blur, Doves, Elbow), who worked with the band to help give their new album its timeless sound. The album contains the first single from the release, ‘Wrong’."

Jandy, just make sure you stop at the first one.
- Derrick
Derrick, no joke. One time I watched all three, plus Animatrix, in one afternoon. The last two actually worked better that way (you know, compared with the crap they are on their own), but it was definitely a time suck.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I watched that on HD when I got home from Hebrew school last night D. The Matrix in HD? Come on, can't resist.
- Michelle Jones
Possibly my favorite thing ever when the security guard says 'do u have any metal objects on u' and Neo's like 'funk yeah' and pulls out the guns, crosses his arms and goes Matrix on 'em suckas.

I watched that scene in a Bang & Olufsen theater the other day, and, WOW, it blew my mind like it never had before!
- Brad Williamson
Yeah, the Matrix got me too last night. And I do like Reloaded...well, most of it anyway.
- Jason Toney
Derrick - when you come to Seattle I'm going to make you watch Reloaded in HD on the big speakers. THUD THUD THUD
- Sparky, a big deal
I do have a soft spot in my heart for the sequel that has the crazy fight on the highway. Was that the second one? I don't even REMEMBER the last one. I watched that entire movie with my arms crossed rocking a fat set of bitchlips.
- Derrick
Why did they have to show this movie last night? I am seriously sleep-deprived. Thanks, HBO.

Yea, in Vista, his eyes don't flash.
- Will Higgins™
i'm ready to take vista off the laptop. and by "I", i mean josh. i'm not a geek, but i can't get anything done... except friendfeed. so my laptop is diminished to a really expensive toy. simply will not do.
- Trish Haley
I dunno, I've been running Vista on my lil' MSI Wind and it works fine. Granted I don't run anything besides Thunderbird, Firefox and Digsby on it.

Vista has Stalin, instead of Hitler, and his eyes just have a dull, cold look...

Is that the NSDAP feature in Windows 7? ;-)

Can't understand why anyone is bashing Vista. It works like a charme here. Fast, no crashes for month and looks great.
- Ryo / Fuck Facebook
Erin! Hey Vijay! :) @Ryo - did you tweak it first? (BTW this is a joke. It's supposed to be funny!)
- Mona Nomura
Saeba, have you considered using Linux instead? Most have Firefox and Thunderbird built-in, and I'm pretty sure you'd get much better performance. I would recommend it.
- Will Higgins™
Only someone who's never seen OS X or tried to connect to a non-Vista-likey router can be confused about why people bash it.
- Cyndy
Hi Mona! Thanks for the awesome updates on the Pre. (sorry about the off-topic comment)

does this mean that the comic is godwin'd? or is this threat godwin'd from the offset?

@Cyndy I have used both. I'm still confused. Vista sp2 runs fine for me. I like both OS's. I really don't see why OSX people get such a hard on from bashing Vista. . .
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
Jason, have you tried connecting that Vista machine to, say, a non-Linksys or Netgear router? They try to hide so much from the user that if you want to deviate from their cookie-cutter set-up it's way more trouble than F-disking and putting XP on from an old CD.
- Cyndy
@Jason - I'm not an OSX person, and I still bash Vista. I used Vista for over a year, and then I went back to XP. I just couldn't take it anymore.
- Will Higgins™
@Cyndy I'm running Vista SP2 connected to a Netgear router with the OS reflashed to tomato. I guess, it helps that I've been using computers since 1984, so I've got half a brain for this stuff. Maybe for a regular end user it's more difficult. I had the OS figured out in less then an hour. But then, I've grown up on DOS, Windows, Debian, Linux, OS/2, NextOS, etc. so, this seemed like cake.
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
vijay, i hate UAC the most. I know I can disable it, but my company sells products bundled with default install of Vista, and I have to support that. :(
- imabonehead
Yes, Jason, that MUST be it. I'm just a git, right? It shouldn't take me an HOUR to figure out an OS. That's the point of it being an OS. And FYI, I was coding BASIC on a Trash-80 before you were even born, so you can lose the condescending attitude.
- Cyndy
Okay people breathe a little, it's just a comic
- Justin Yost
O snap, geek fight! Poor usability aside, Vista does hog epic resources, and STILL has compatibility issues. It's got some good features too, like breadcumbed navigation, but the positives don't outweigh the negatives.
- Will Higgins™
LOL. I was born in 74 and wrote BASIC on a TRS-80 Model 4 and PC-100. so who knows. and excuse my attitude please. I'm up a bit late. my point is, for an average end user it might be difficult. I don't think you could take a new user and put them in front of OSX and have them working it like a pro in under an hour. there's going to be things they don't know. anyway, it doesn't pay to...
more...
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
The funny thing is, Linux has it's own implementation of UAC. which is why you're required to use sudo to do some things. :)
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
I'm takin bets on Cyndy .. anyone? :)
- Steven Hodson
Please don't take this the wrong way, but if your seeing lots of UAC prompts then there's something very broken with the software your running. You shouldn't see any more UAC prompts under Vista then a Leopard user gets admin password requests. The problem has been a lot of developers took the 'easy' way out and just marked their apps as 'require elevation' rather then making them behave correctly.
- Russ
Jason, the point I'm making is that I don't care WHO you are. If you have a router that isn't one of the two "Vista-compatible" brands, Vista tells you that you can't connect to the Internet. WTF is that about? The average user is going to be pissed that the router they got free with the rebate at Staples doesn't work, and the non-average user is going to be pissed at the hoops that have to be jumped through to get under the hood. Now, OS X, I pull my Mac out of the box, I boot it up, and Airport finds me..
- Cyndy
I agree. many of the problems with windows can be tracked back to drivers and sloppy coding.
- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
...every broadcasting network in range. It doesn't care what BRAND it is. As an average user, I get right online to play Scrabulous on Facebook and download pr0n. As a non-average user, I get to annoy others on FriendFeed and download pr0n. OS X FTW.
- Cyndy
Yea well I was born in 1899 and wrote my first program on a slide rule, then, I invented the Internet and downloaded everything ever.
- Will Higgins™
Mona: No I did not Tweak in any way. It was very responsive from the beginning on my machine. But, what I do, I maintain the system. And I'm not clicking anywhere, anytime without having a clue what I'm doing :) Yes, I don't click Mail-Attachments, and no, Vista is not getting slower, if you care about it. I switched from OS X (MBP SR2,2). I got more crashes there, then on Vista. Really.
- Ryo / Fuck Facebook
@Cyndy, then why is it I am running Vista connected via Wifi and Shared WEP to a router running Tomato. Not Netgear or Linksys OS, I'm using Tomato. It connected with no issues. my wifi adapter found the router, I told it I wanted to connect. It asked for my key, I plugged it in, I was done. That simple.
- Jason Shultz
Airport is the router, right? did you use any kind of encryption? It's funny, if I google OS X to non airport routers how many hits I get from people having issues trying to connect.
- Jason Shultz
In this day and age, if it takes an hour to learn an OS? That piece of software should die a trillion deaths. That's why Vista is being repackaged as Windows 7. Besides, since when does mastering Windows earn you geek cred? (rhetorical = no need for an answer). That said, since there are many raves about Vista, I am looking forward to a more intuitive UX with Windows 7 (ctp HELL TO THE NAY on beta).
- Mona Nomura
Cyndy - I think it's the tree koala bears hang out on. You know, the one outside your window blocking the intertubes?
- Mona Nomura
I live in Western NY. The tubes, they are clogged with snow.
- Cyndy
Ok Cyndy, I give. I'm not going to change your opinion (or Mona's either for that matter) and my opinion is I like both so I don't know what I was supposed to do. I can make money on either one. But, if i don't get to bed then I'll be too tired to. I enjoyed our little debate, too bad it wasn't on IRC or Usenet, then we could be rocking it old school. Maybe next time?
- Jason Shultz
Jason - Good night - either which way, an OS shouldn't take an hour to figure out. Damnit, I had to get the last word in!

@Mona, yes, you did. It's all good. I was going to say something else, but I'm going to let you have the last word. I'm just cool like that. :)

If you can make it taste like bacon, I'll eat it. (Cue W!cKeD's inappropriate commentary...)

Jason: I like bacon, and I like salt on watermelon. I don't think I'd want bacon salt on watermelon, though.

I just recently got some of this.. and so far, I was most impressed with my wife using it with simmering asparagus spears. Delicious!

Actually, this came out of my brother and i discussing that crystal meth busts go way up this time of year. People are trying to earn holiday money. Which is pretty sad.

Peter, the real question is how many insurance claims will go in CLAIMING it's from deep frying turkeys when it waas really the meth lab that blew?

I think that's the midwest more than the south
