Comment Billy Mays here for another exciting product.... (Score 4, Funny) 625

Hi Billy Mays here for the Commercial Kill.
Sick of commercials blaring and waking up your hooker in the middle of the night?
Using the power of the internet we can eliminate loud obnoxious commercials for your viewing pleasure.

Note: Commercials only removed from pirated material. Non Pirated material will be subject to EVEN LOUDER commercials that conveniently have the volume control disabled during duration.

Comment Ying/Yang (Score 2, Funny) 207

I guess the real argument is what is considered a Production. Surely if the movie is of the quality as many B titles the means of distribution are irrelevant.

That said, the flip side is a IMDB that is littered with amazing Productions such as "Football to the Groin" and "Cat Gets Tasered, In Bathtub"

I guess for some of us the real IMDB will be reduced to .NFO files and their summary. That'll learn em' :O

"Yep, that's right. A bunch of FPS-obsessed geeks are far superior intellectually to people who play casual games in the spare time they have between their graduate studies, international travel, and outdoor activities."

It's a fact that anything short of "open dvd tray insert disc" is going to be seen as difficult to the masses. Marketing analysis proves this fact.

Lets remember we are talking about the late '90's in that comment. PC gaming was the ANTI console gaming providing gracious modability as well as control over functionality.

Today PC gaming is so gloriously simplified it's only a matter of time before laptops and tablets become the primary gaming platform.

Your stereotyping of "geeks" shames your whole argument.

To insinuate that people who play games do not go outdoors or play games casually (maybe so casual they don't need a dedicated gaming system in fact) makes you a bigot, Sir, or Madam.

As somebody who played Quake when it FIRST came out. (Goldeneye came out in 1997 same year as Quake 2)
During the original Quake, online Multiplayer was fantastic because me, my friend and any other rat in the city could play together from the comfort of our homes.
It was literally the coolest thing going. No split screen B.S.
Using the QuakeSpy portal one could access many "Dedicated Servers" that hosted games, something still not realized even in the modern complexion of today.
Online multiplayer capability was the flagship ability of Quake when press releases first came out. (Never mind Quake 2 circa 1997 when the completely nailed Quake 2 Online capabilities and MOD freedom)
Setting up a LAN is very difficult I know...

But, PC gaming will only ever be limited by the average intellect of the masses.

The United States has the DEA enforcing it's domestic drug policy throughout the world.

Abroad, Cocaine is tolerated and seen as a great resource in South America yet America is killing civilians to thwart a domestic problem?????? A problem that stems from lack of Education, Health care and Poverty

I think your problem is that you are using the packaging setup for residential services.

Now if you use the Small Business packages you will find it to be much more for your money.

I know Cogeco does charge residential overage but absolutely does not charge extra for business overage.

Customer service tends to be friendlier when you are a "Business" as well. They also don't verify that you are a business so it's simply a matter of choosing that package.

Compare them yourself and you will shake your head at why somebody would pay for the residential package.

Comment Hearing Aid Phones (Score 3, Informative) 110

Where I work we sell super amplified phones for people hard of hearing. I sell a lot of them for people in factories or other loud environments. They are very loud and even have a boost function.

I'm sure other similar brands exist but this is the only one I have hands on experience with.

You think they would focus on the actual sex trade (You know the people enslaving kids) rather than what deviant genre of porn people are into. Or what thumbnails from 1998 of child porn are cached on their computer.

Even when they book these evil fucks who rape kids they are usually out on the street faster than crimes as hilarious as Marijuana possession.

Remember kids, when faced with the dilemma to sell pot or rape somebody, think of the potential consequences and put on your rape face.
