Heh. Just wait for APK and his magical HOSTS file. It will probably be something like:

Copy the entire contents of the DNS server into THIS multi-GB file with all the domains pointing to 0.0.0.0 (<- this parses faster than using 127.0.0.1) then, simply delete the sites you want to allow.

Only twice? ;-)

That's a prime example of grammar nazi bait. I would have just said whoosh, but you at least suspected it was intentional.

What are you on about? Bose makes great audio equipment! You do need to make sure you use the right cables to connect it all, though; Monster should do the job...~

Let's see...

Dresses in black (turtlenecks)?
Uses devices with shiny, white, uniform appearances?

I'd say that's +2 for the Sith column.

Start at the beginning, then work your way through the middle until you reach the end. Then stop.

And then keep coming back every MWF for the updates. :-) That is one of my favorite comics ever; very well-written/drawn, and almost never misses an update.

To keep this from just being a "+1," I'll share a few of my other favorites to lift OP's spirits:

http://www.dorktower.com/
http://irregularwebcomic.net/
http://www.basicinstructions.net/
http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/index.htm
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootslatest.html
http://xkcd.com/ (obligatory)

Then there's www.failblog.org and its sister sites. YMMV with individual items, but overall there's fun material there.

Lots of archive material to trawl with those. Enjoy!

The only thing nicer than seeing women smile is hearing them laugh.

Indeed.

...However, since it has sex, no matter how obscure it is, it's on the front page. Nice job, Slashdot!

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know there's some irony here...

Size doesn't matter... distance from center to surface.

If "radius" doesn't qualify as a measure of size, I don't know what does.
