Dang! all I made was a beigeism - but I am sure with fiber, I can join the Brownists.

I think about the time they noticed that there is a bias in the feathers and if the feathers were fletched on the bias, the arrow would fly truer. I am pretty sure 'fletched' is not a word but you know what I mean.

Thank you for that quote - I am going to steal it for the appropriate occasion

Most people are not truly bilaterally symmetric; maybe your feet are not exactly the same size. Vis-a-vis your larger left boob - I had a similar discussion with a friend about her left boob and we came to the conclusion it might be due the way she carried her school-books; but that was 40 years ago and we both did a…

Isn't this the plot of most RPGs and many FPSs? I remember all the things the Freeman had to do to get elevators to work and/or whatnot.

The entertainment world is overflowing with stories of people pitching and pitching and pitching something that is absolute crap. Telling them apart is problematic

You have never worked on a terminal to a main frame - you are probably too young.

With VISTA the 3-fingered salute brings up a list of options that includes choosing task manager. CTRL+SHIFT+ESC brings up the task manager without taking you out of your current process.

And most Pawn Shops don't mind the question "What can you do for me?" - they will start with "no sales tax" (about 8-9% here in Seattle), since I am not a haggler, I usually take that

I think they may have stopped in with Vatican 2 and the whole 'kinder gentler church' movement in the late 60s when they banned the latin mass

The real paradox is banning "Fahrenheit 451"

The Catholic church use to publish a monthly list of movies that were more than banned - they were condemned and you committed a mortal sin to see them. Unfortunately, "I Am Camera" is the only one I remember for the list. That movie is the basis for "Cabaret". Any one else old enough to remember the "C" list?

There are some controllers that vary the fan speed - the hotter the temp, the faster the fan. I also added slot fan next to my GPU to pull a little extra air out of the box.

I use FurMark for burn-in and testing my GPU; it will work you graphics pretty well.

I am pen positive - I find pens every where. I searched my house and of the 35 pens in mugs, jars, and cups I have 2 pilots, a Pentel, and a uniball. I guess I need to be more particular about what pens I pick up (I never pick up Bic Pens but I still have 5 of them). I take a handful of pens to my coffee shop every…

I never liked the crystal gravy.

I use something similar when fusing glass - we call it a stress-ometer and it is just 2 polarized lenses with their polarization at 90 degrees. The stresses in the glass at the interface of 2 different glasses increase with the increase in the difference in the coefficient of expansion. The greater the stress the…

Then what do you mean?

Yep, it was definitely my version of Aurora - I switched back to FF 15.0.1 and I have Kotaku back - thanks for the heads-up.

You met Mr. Ed?
