OK, kids, let's... wait...

I am not sure if this whole deal is speculation or incorrect information or what, but I have this theory: Big companies say and do things to make themselves bigger than their competition and earn more money. I wonder if that is what is happening here...

@snapoversteer fronts the prog-rock band Camber Tweel: Like the example in the article; Prefered sites like YouTube would have higher bandwidth, while any upstarts or competitors will be throttled or blocked completely. At least that's the way I understand it...

If a man is allowed to marry another man, then who is going to walk ten feet behind? Who gets the bigger piece of chicken at dinner? Which one does the laundry?

John: What are you wearing? (911 asking)

Man, someone really ought to make a camera that uses film.

How about just giving $500 to every man woman and child in the world. Don't bother correcting my math, I won't pay attention.

Someone came out a while back with a joystick control for a car that sat in the center console. It reduced arm fatigue and was easy to control. It would eliminate the whole pedal problem. I guess it was never adopted because it's too hard to text or fiddle with the radio.

Along the same lines... I was shocked and dismayed (not really) to find out that lemmings don't really commit mass suicide.

Japan should feel safer knowing he is watching over them. I know I would. The only giant robots we have in the US are the Sentinels, and they seem to do more harm than good. Last week they tore the neighbor's roof off to get kidnap his three-legged son.

These videos can be great internal motivators too. The last big company I worked at did an awesome video spoofing a local used car dealership commercial. The manager even got up on the roof to shoot a scene. Everyone had a great time making it... Except it was done during the time I was laid off and sitting at home.

@Mattbleistern: It means he is a tenured jackass fed up with people reminding him that "...those who can't, teach".

Did they have the phrase "anal retentive" back in the late 1800s?

I have pooped in some of the scariest reset stops and port-o-lets in the country. I have a map of the states I have dropped bombs in. Now I have a new quest.

@theorieofself: Don't bring politics into this serious pooping discussion.

Still too complicated. Lets put cameras in the stores so they can just automatically charge me for any merchandise I look at. And they should do away with credit card applications and just send me the cards. And they should set up an automatic bankruptcy hearing every 7 years.

In case no one looked, DWFTTW = Downwind Faster Than The Wind. I would have given it an action name like Wind Blaster or Blowback or Gale Force 1

Creepy... The phrase "Aperture Science" immediately triggered the end game song to start playing in my head, even before my conscious mind recognized where the phrase was from. It's like I've been preconditioned to believe there is no cake. Or I play too many games.

Now, Mr. Bond, you will... hang on a sec. Did... did you see a little square one with a hole in it? That's it, thanks... a crap, what's this one go to? Is this a K'nex piece?
