The quality of appointees from this administration has so far been a bit on the disappointing side, to say the least.
and yet they're still somehow better than bush appointees...rumsfeld, gonzales, brown, et al...

"The question is, how much time and energy do I want to spend chasing these guys," Stephen King wrote in an e-mail message. "And to what end? My sense is that most of them live in basements floored with carpeting remnants, living on Funions and discount beer."
carpet remnants, funions, cheap beer. sounds about right for anyone who would consider "gerald's game" to be literature. way to insult your audience, steve-o.

It happens over and over again, and there is nothing to stop you from doing it as well.
the crushing weight of regulation has so far prevented adoption of my rearden-fill bean bag chair.

with that site gone, how will people ever know that soy beverages, soy cheese, soy flour, soy meal, soy oil, soy sauce, soy protein, and soybeans ALL CONTAIN SOY PRODUCTS?
i know it's not all of them, but seriously - damn near half of the products on that page have SOY in the name. i can only deduce that geocities hates natural selection.
If you didn't want the advertisements, why didn't you just PAY money to get a hosted service? Oh, that's right, you're a cheap hypocrite bastard. You go screw yourself.
random ads over WW II pictures, especially some of the pictures of fallen soldiers I had up, didn't sit well with me - so I ponied up cash for a real webhost, and didn't look back.
hey, how 'bout that!
final score...
cheap hypocrite bastard: 1
vapid, vitriolic, foot-in-mouth bastard: 0

that's some pretty awful englishfail.
oh, that button below says "preview," not "impatiently wait for submit button to appear." now i get it.
i hosted my first website, a WW II history site, on geocities - before the ad requirements got out of hand. when their ads got completely obnoxious, i asked for a way to keep the ad in a top frame, or any way to keep it from covering my content, but was told to pony up cash.

perhaps i'm just too good at holding a grudge, but i'm glad they're dead.
It also has a racing seat made of SoyFoam, a soybean oil-based, flexible foam material.
i've daydreamed about striking it rich with soybean based home insulation, mainly so i'd have an excuse to say "insoylation."
from http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto_today/for_the_record/pig_patent.asp
In 2007, Monsanto sold Monsanto Choice Genetics to Newsham Genetics LC of West Des Moines, Iowa. The transaction was completed in November 2007, and Monsanto is no longer in the swine breeding business.
Since a Greenpeace publicity announcement in 2005, rumors have continued to circulate among activists and on the internet that Monsanto is trying to patent pig genes. When Monsanto owned the business, the company performed research work for a patent application related to a specific gene marker for a pig trait, but not for the trait itself, and also a patent application for a unique set of breeding processes, including an artificial insemination method. Monsanto never filed a patent application for a pig gene.
Thereâ(TM)s been some rather wild speculation that these patent applications would prohibit pig farmers from breeding lines of pigs to which they had always freely bred. This isnâ(TM)t true. Any claims issued from these patent applications would apply to only animals and their offspring which had been bred using marker technology covered by patent claims.
In any case, the sale to Newsham Genetics included any and all swine-related patents, patent applications, and all other intellectual property. Weâ(TM)re out of the pig business.
claim:
someone who has Russian as a first language and Chinese as a second will most likely be better off to code than someone with merely English as a first language
evidence:
being bilingual or a polyglot is beneficial to thinking and memory skills
understanding another language (even a dead one like Latin) helps you understand that information & logic can be portrayed multiple different ways with different vocabularies & grammar rules
your reading comprehension:
you're saying that slashdot needs to be slashdotted before we all snow crash?
i'm sure that's sup-dawg-memeable, but i'd like to keep what little remains of my self-respect.
gmusicbrowser is nice. might not be what you're looking for, but it's the only linux music app i'm happy with (and i've tried damn near 20 of 'em).
when i was running windows, i used foobar2k - winamp is about as customizable as a cinder block compared to foobar. the ability to customize is what led me to foobar, ending my long love affair with winamp. gmusicbrowser is the only potential replacement i've found for foobar (which works flawlessly in the several versions on wine i've tried it on).
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.
