Yeah, at 33 I may be a bit old for all this nonsense, but alas, I have a very boisterous 5 year old. Anywhom, she's going as Tinkerbell, my g/f is going as Wendy and I'll be sporting the look of Cap'n Hook.

10. Smack self over head with textbook for 'applied knowledge.'

I got to send my first off to school this morning. I'm pretty sure I was far more emotionally wrought than she was :P Hold on! Daddy's gotta take a Klonapin before we leave... Now I just need to figure out where exactly the previous 5 years went....

Actually, it is kinda Kafka-esque in a way because we've got such volatility in the net-neutrality stage right now with our new American President. Things are teetering on a very fine edge and these next few years could determine many of the laws that will affect all of us in some way or another.

I was generalizing how a LOT of people won't want it for a similar reason. It was to be construed as an implication. I didn't realize I needed to state it out loud.

Crap! I guess I forgot to read the directions on /. that only fanboi's are allowed to post on things. Sorry about that, my apologies.

Wait...if that's the case, will we get to watch Mario progressively get less fat as you beat the game?? What's next? Yoshi's Diet, Low-Fat, Trans-Fat Free, Unsalted Rice Cakes?

Thus why I said: "I'd rather just stay with a more affordable card." I know some people will be all over it like white on rice, but I'm happy with what I have.

I'm sorry, but I see the point of purchasing something like this as sensible as spending $12,000 out of pocket for the Adobe True Type font package. It's great and all that you can make things run at a barely perceptible higher speed, but at the cost of not only the card itself, but cooling, PSU, etc., I'd rather just stay with a more affordable card.

Rivets.

Was built in 1785 :P I know that's pretty low tech, but it's impressive considering how well this place has stood the test of time (in upstate New York with its endless blizzards), and now we've got modern half million to million dollar homes that are made with plywood and pressure treated boards and have problems from day one. Just more examples of how newer is so very often NOT better. http://www.oldversion.com/ For the win.

Are you kidding me?! Free cruises?! Free country clubs?? Fuck no! They're giving them free downloads....

Surface to Air Missiles ftw!

No, you had to move to Japan 5 years ago :P

Yeah, let's hear it for defeating the purpose.
