I once met them backstage on a very local metal festival that somehow managed to book them. I was doing security there (which says a lot about the quality of the organization, to be honest) and had been whining to the head of security to get my cd signed. 5 minutes before they would go on stage he yelled 'Reneald!…

He had me at 'Geronimo!'

In the commentary tracks for the movies it is stated that they are an allegory. Zion = body, Matrix = mind and Machines = spirit. So it's definitely not pure science fiction.

This. Though I really hope that they don't make a sad, boring, 13-in-a-dozen funeral out of it, it's really their choice. They want a mass, even though I'm not catholic? They can have one. They want to drag my corpse through the streets of Rome behind a horse cart? Let them do it.

Or they don't even know that it's there.

I think the article covers most of it. Maybe one other thing: I'm not personally responsible for your problem. I didn't cause them and I didn't decide which steps I'm allowed to take to help you. If I say I cannot solve your problem, that means that a) I don't have the tools or training to help you or b) I'm not…

Exactly. Also, don't send us an e-mail to report a problem one minute before you go on holiday for two weeks. Seriously.

As a customer service agent I don't like it if you ask that question up front. I'd like to know first what you're calling about so I can make up my mind about what I have to do or say (that is my job after all). Later on, while we're talking or maybe when I'm looking something up and not saying much, you can go on…

I know quite a few people who have BlackBerries. Young people. It's scary.

My dad taught me to make a song out of everything everyone says, or find words that rhyme. Well, I say taught. He didn't sit down and said "Listen son,..." It's just something he used to do a lot and I've picked it up. You know how when someone yells 'Stop!' someone else always goes either 'Hammertime!' or 'In the…

Minor mistake: there is no 'University of Belgium'. The study is from the University of Liège.

I've started using a straight razor almost a year ago. I must say I still find it a bit difficult, and for some spots I still have to use my cartridge razor (I think it's because I only shave once a week). I'm thinking of buying a safety razor to replace the cartridge razor though.

It does matter—they just shouldn't do it. It's wrong. Even if we encrypt everything we can and they don't get anything out of it, they still shouldn't do it. What you say seems the same to me as: "If we'd all lock our bikes with five very strong locks, it doesn't matter if someone tries to steal it, because they'll…

I have found the Media Companion scraper to work quite well. It's specifically designed for XBMC libraries.

No, they're not.

Am I the only one who is upset that these stories/headlines appear without spoiler warning? I try to avoid any rumour about Doctor Who but io9 is making it very hard for me! Can't you just keep the spoilers in the Morning Spoilers posts?

Not randomly. I don't know the details, but I believe that Myst, Riven and Myst V were made or produced by the same company, while Myst III and Myst IV weren't.

You should listen to some of their other songs then.

You can also ask Facebook for a copy of your profile. I think the files you receive are quite search friendly.
