I just tried searching for: raptor -intro (Searching for raptor hard drives, but I didn't want all of the intro thread saying "raptor" this and "raptor" that.) Anyways, got the following error: General Error SQL ERROR [ postgres ] ERROR: invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for...

So kottke.org is the blog of Jason Kottke. Obviously, any true geek reads "A weblog, which is a frequently updated, chronologically ordered collection of hypertext fragments. You'll find the most recent posted stuff on the front page and many ways to get at the older posts on the archive page.&...

Ohhhhhh. RPM STANDS for Justice, Truth, Freedom, and the American way. RPM also stands for the rights of monkeys and some dogs to vote. RPM also stands for a flat-tax, but just hasn't had the subtleties of why that's not a good idea explained yet.

Revolutions Per Minute? RPM Records? Redhat Package Manager? RPM International? (They do something with chemicals) Ummmm... Rhinos Pulling Machines? Really Persistent MacGyver? The Real People Movement? or Rational People Movement? Really Pissy Marxists? Radically Passe Movies? Ragin' Pissin' Monkey...

if we propped up everyone that has the smallest of problems, there would be zero incentive to actually be a contributing member of society. id love to sit on my ass all day and collect a check because of my metal disorders but im not because it doesnt work that way and i hope it never does. i do fe...

Today while browsing the xkcd fora I learned that "Tuesday" is named for the Norse god "Tyr". Crazy place, huh?
(Thanks Bandersnatch!)

Wanderingcowboy

Okay, thank you for saying what I was trying to say, except concisely, understandably, and in a formulaic form so that it covers more situations.

He's a "webcomic critic." He uses bad sarcasm at length to critique webcomics on his blog . Sometimes he draws on said webcomics with a fat-sailor looking guy (who I assume is Sonty Mick). Sonty Mick was seen punching T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics once. http://bp0.blogger.com/_bzwElEfn1CE/R97...

Ooh! You should talk about politics and religion! That always goes over well when you're first meeting somebody you're interested in! (By the way, I got lost on the way to the sarcasm thread...) Anyways, you two have to have other things in common. If we're going the geeky route, D&D? Star Trek?...

So, if the subject were 18, but the photograph were otherwise identical, would it be porn? I'd say, no. The image in the article linked is not, in my opinion, not pornography. If it's not pornography, it can't be child pornography. I think that's actually a really good way to put it. I was trying t...

Mother Superior is never sarcastic. First of all, he's a nun, and he's always been a straight-shooter as far as I can tell. Especially when he apologized for my parents not being able to afford giving me more than a Delta-2 class memory-transplant. Well I'm sorry [that] your parents couldn't afford ...

This President is only giving himself unlimited, unchecked powers for Democracy! And we have to force democracy onto unwilling people so that their voices can be heard! What is so hard to understand about this?

...you know, it used to be really cool to be American back in the day...

Also, let's imagine for a moment that the Church was not made up of complete morons, and that they may have considered the eventuality that people might get ideas. Thus, they would only have forbidden what they knew was happening already. Sure, the quote may sound funny, but it completely misses th...

I generally wake up 20 minutes before class. I then sleep in for another 10 minutes. At this point I get up, throw on some clothes and run out the door for a refreshing 2-minute morning jog, and then I arrive at class!
(Usually I take a raptor of course, but she's in the shop right now.)

Or Metal Gear? BUM BUM BUM!! >.> ... @eternal luna: Everyone chooses their priorities in life. In the end, they choose how they act, they try and choose what "reputation" they have. If people care about their reputations, then they'll have a nice, "safe" conservative reputation....

Confession: I read locked threads to find out why they were locked. I skim the posts to discover at what point in the discussion that the mods decided to lock them. Me too. All the time. Me three. Sometimes I just follow the kind of threads that look like they're lock-fodder. They tend to show the ...

Confession uno: I can't let myself stay happy. I'll have a really good few weeks, but at the end of that I'll find a way to depress myself just because the happy feels so abnormal. But in the end, aren't those few weeks of happiness worth everything else? Would you really trade them for anything el...

I had a one-night stand with a friend when we were both rebounding from a bad breakup. It hasn't been mentioned since then and we both have gone on to different people. He is back with his ex and she is now pregnant and they are supposed to be getting married this summer, but he confessed that he s...

"FOR a certain subset of Internet users, “Sudo make me a sandwich” may as well be “Take my wife ... please.” " ...It's just... amazing how spot on these journalists can be. He peeled away all the complex layers that make-up xkcd and its readership, and found it's inner-juicy core. Edit: @ ...

Is it just me, or does this Hetty Johnston seem a lot like Jack Thompson? "Hetty Johnston, a child protection campaigner, denounced the pictures. "It's child exploitation, it's criminal activity, and it should be prosecuted," she said. "These are clearly illegal child pornography...

Just be aware that the customer service is abysmal, get insurance, and be very careful to do things like getting your name exactly right, and making sure that your hand luggage is small and light enough, because they like to screw you with £80 charges for changing details on your ticket after booki...

Today I learned that other nationalities can be just as stupid as Americans.

What do you not understand about this? They do transform us into bio-mech soldiers after we die! Where do you think the bio-mech soldiers come form?! Hell, my uncle was only 68 when they transformed him, STILL ALIVE! And even in America life expectancy is still around 120 years. ...and like the topi...

To summarize my feelings: Belial is Admin supreme. I... I miss his smell. Getting a little creepy here. There's something to be said for the smell of decaying, rotting carcass wafting through the fora... he just makes it comforting. (...I wonder if it's the after-shave he uses...) Edit: There's not...

Are Phi Mu and Mu Phi mortal enemies? Like, Marching Band vs. Orchestra? Or Strings vs. Percussion? Woodwinds vs. Brass?

...'cause if they aren't, they totally should be. Makes life more fun!

Wanderingcowboy

Yeah, I'm sorry that I'm not Swedish, and thus part of the Euro-Asia Alliance. It's not my fault America became a 2nd class country during the Black April depression and hasn't been able to climb out since. It's not like you guys have offered much assistance. So while you're all high and might with ...

I wonder where Belial has been for the past few days? It just seems... wrong not to have him here. His soothing tone, his words perfectly placed throughout each of his posts, not a single one misplaced. How he gently, yet firmly guides us to the path of light, nudging us when we step out of line, al...

...hello? We're in the new millennium? It's the future now? Obviously we all get to work using jetpacks. Personally I like my Ford jetpack. I used to go Japanese-made jetpack, but it just wasn't powerful enough. Very well made, but didn't have the "oomph" to lift a good 'ol American boy. ...

I'm adding another vote for "I'm an aussie and have no idea wtf a sorority or fraternity is." But really, based on what i've heard so far, they sound like the kind of people who should be round up and shot. ...when they round me up, do not weep for me. I regret that I have but one life to...

Oh, and to the quantum tunneling people - I don't know what that is - well we know that at that subatomic particle level things are a bit.. weird.

@Benj: I only say this because of the hereditary rivalry that comes from growing up in a home where my father is one of the top GM mechanics in the country. It was actually a coin toss between Chevy and Ford. All I knew is that I couldn't pull off my thing of how awesome America is using a Tundra. ...

Now why would I want to be sarcastic 'bout gettin' me a Ford pickup and getting a nice, American-made revolver to shoot me some Cayotes wit? Have my hound-dog Samson in the back. Old fella, but a good, loyal dog he is.

It's because of things like this that make America the greatest country in the World.
