  • The Onion is really refreshing sometimes. Right before the Iraq invasion, when the rhetoric and BS was flying in the mainstream media, the Onion seemed like a lone voice of reason (disguised as satire). Sometimes it's too obviously written by a …
    in The Onion is the greatest source of news ever Comment by robo April 2003
  • Oh, and for nice drinks for the newbie, i recommend a Grasshopper (if you like mint), or a White Russian (if you like coffee). Both are severely girly drinks, but are tasty, yet potently alcoholic. They're both milk based, so avoid mixing with other…
    in About to turn 21.....help me to avoid becoming a fall-down drunk on my birthday Comment by robo April 2003
  • The first time you drink alcohol, it really doesn't matter that much what you drink.. everything tastes like shit, from good beer to bad whiskey. Don't buy an expensive bottle of scotch or bourbon... to your virgin mouth, it will taste exactly like …

  • The two filing cabinets and a door blank desk is actually a great idea. I used such a desk all through high school, and the desk is still being used in my parents' house. If you have a lot of computer stuff, a regular 'computer desk' is going to …

  • Of course, the poll result is going to be skewed, since all teh Dvorak users (myself included) are going to vote, while only a small fraction of the QWERTY users will vote.

  • Ohh.. but it was so tasty.. err.. i mean tasteless.
    in Mmm.. Yummy Comment by robo April 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Not Unlike Myself CNN reported that people are waging a 'cyber war' against the site in anger. (Yea team!) Anger at what, exactly?
    in Anyone able to load the Al-jazeera website? Comment by robo March 2003
  • Defiant - that debka site seems to be an Israeli run rumor site.. sort of a MacOSRumors of middle east news. It's even more pro-war than the US news, from what i saw from a brief read. Not exactly a replacement for Al Jazeera "Our sources tell …
    in Anyone able to load the Al-jazeera website? Comment by robo March 2003
  • Yeah, i've been trying to get onto Al Jazeera's site for a few days now.. no luck. I assume it will be a good counterpoint to the Saccharined shit that Americans accept for 'news coverage'. CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company)'s news coverage…

  • [grumble] I posted suggestions for 'Confirmed' and 'I'm making plastics right now' almost a year ago, and nobody paid any attention. I even made t-shirt mockups [/grumble] Oh, and wasn't it 'Cabal of Twerps', not 'Cabal of Theives' (which was th…

  • I would add that asking to be a Moderator is a sure way to guarantee that you won't be considered. Especially with 41 posts. -robo
    in Can i Become a Moderator? Comment by robo May 2002
  • Umm.. i'm not an admin so i don't know exactly what the Junior->Full membership threshold is.. i guess it's higher than 41 posts. It used to be 250, you know. Anyway, perhaps Jonathan or Amorph can enlighten us, but in the mean time, who c…
    in To Johnathan or Robo Comment by robo May 2002
  • Hey guys. I'm sorry I haven't been around that much in the last month. I'm in the middle of grad school auditions, which has taken a lot of time away from my usual time wasting activities, such as AI (incidentally, my last audition was yesterd…
    in Amorph and Jonathan are in the house: Where's everyone else? Comment by robo February 2002
  • Kind of a stupid poll. Oh well. What really irks me are those brain numbingly trite little 'yes/no' polls on CNN etc. With questions like "The USA, bastion of freedom and all that is Right and Good, should fight evil international terrorists…

  • Drag and drop, baby. That answers most of your 'Windows mindset' questions. Have fun. I'm jealous. -robo
    in Matsu's total newbie experience live Comment by robo February 2003
  • Matsu: Yeah, i've been thinking about upgrading the CPU. It certainly seems like the most cost effective speed boost. But the cheapest i've seen is around $300 and involves sending the computer away to Texas or something for a week or two. I m…
    in How to overclock your Powerbook G3... Comment by robo February 2003
  • Heh. Thanks for the replies. I'll try to take a picture of the daughtercard some time. It's just that i have to take the whole damn computer apart. -robo
    in How to overclock your Powerbook G3... Comment by robo February 2003
  • Wow. That list is strangely prophetic. Almost scary. They even mention Jaguar (ok.. leopard) Spots. I do think they need to stick their logo in some more places. Sports would be good. -robo
    in 101 Ways to Save Apple Comment by robo February 2003
  • Yeah, i understand how infuriating a "yeah, sowhaddayawhantemetadoaboudit?" attitude can be. I moved to New York this summer, and it took me a few months to get used to people here. Usually in Canada it's better, but not always. When calling Apple a…
    in FedEx gave my iMac away Comment by robo February 2003
  • [edit: Rod beat me to it, with the same sentiment.. oh well..] Heh. I think this is going from 'where's my computer?!?' to 'how to squeeze every last drop of blood out of FedEx' Not that i perhaps wouldn't do the same But if the p…
