It still weirds me out seeing stuff like "I hope that rapist/molestor/whathaveyou gets raped every day in prison!" But maybe I'm just naive.

Reply to What shall I read? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I havent read as much as I'd like to lately, but I recently finished Stardust by Neil Gaiman. The tagline is something like "A grown-up fairy tale", which it is. He's written a few other books and graphic novels / comics and is fairly well known for his work. Terry Pratchett writes good SF-humor, similar to Douglas Adams but with a more fantasy feel than SF. If you would like something different, try finding some trade paperbacks of cer

I should be ashamed that the first thing I thought of when I saw that pic was "For gods' sake, woman, there should be an ' in guys' ". I am terrible at this "man" thing.

Reply to Hmm...I wonder...... in Religion JoeUser Forums

Yeah, I realized that. It's just a lot of people tend to confuse the reason, if they even know that much. One of the reasons I've stopped going to church is that it seems kinda dumbed down and repetitive. I've had to shell out money for parochial school to learn about what I said, instead of hearing it from a sermon. Which is kinda where it should be said.

We weren't banished from Paradise for being disobeideint. We were banished for taking knowledge and not exercising, or wanting, any responsibility about it. God wasn't mad at us eating from the tree, but rather from three things: 1. Hiding from Him. 2. Lying about it when He asked. 3. Trying to pass the blame from Adam to Eve to the snake. Those are the three things that we were kicked out for, and frankly, they're the ro

Seeing as how you've been through a couple pregnancies, a car accident, and gods know what else, I think you should be proud of having an ass like yours. I'd get this ( http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=452 ) one, but my buttoned shirts would cover it.

Working, mostly. Nothing like a two-hour commute by public transportation each way to take time out of your day. Good thing they pay me well. And that's awesome. They've got all sorts of neat things out, actually. Power suits, curing paralysis with stem cells. Interesting times we live in.

To start this off, this earned the guy a Darwin Award. No, this isn't the stapling one. It's far, far, worse. ~~~NWS from beyond this point!~~~ So, this guy and girl decide to have some fun outdoors.

Don't worry about it. People have been hurt far worse during intercourse. If you want to hear the worst I've ever heard of, you'll need to ask since it's very, very not safe for work, children, or the average person's sanity.

Hokay, I love, love, LOVE Firefox, and most other OSS (Open Source Software). Few things. Yes, malware writers will being targeting Firefox because of it's increased popularity. However, because it's open source, it takes about five minutes for a bug to be discovered, documented, and patched. There was recently something like this, and almost as soon as it was discovered it was fixed. How long does IE go from discovery to patch, eh? <

Hey, hitting the thing is a great last resort solution. And depending on your service plan, you can probably pass it off as an "accident" if it breaks. But the thing is, that even the people in Seattle were reading from the manual. And it's SEATTLE. So it's like talking to a really dense wall. You just need to find a computer guy near you.

Last time I called HP-Compaq tech support I got people from Seattle. Seattle. No offense to anyone in the Seattle area, but when your main exports are Starbucks, Grunge music, and Microsoft I hold you a bit in contempt. Nothing personal. But outside of stupid flaws (an update site that doesn't have the BIOS installer, a hard drive that disconnects itself from the mobo) my laptop runs fairly well. Oh, I'd like to pimp out http://www.clean
