Too many misters, Not enough sisters
Too much time on, too many hands
Not enough ladies, too many mans

... and you people think this is a FAILED marketing campaign?

Sounds to me they got just the amount of exposure they wanted.

This is good advice, and gives me an opportunity to speak to the community at large: some of us who go to cons and are in a position to shake tons of hands politely decline. It's not because we're being dicks, it's because we know it's a good way to substantially decrease our chances of catching and spreading any germs.

I played the PAX Pandemic game, where the Enforcers handed out stickers to attendees that read [Carrier] [Infected] or [Immune] (There was also a [Patient Zero].

I got the [Immune] sticker, and by the time I got home on Monday, it was clear that I had the flu. I've had a fever between 100 and 104 all week that finally broke last night, but I'm going to the doctor today because I think whatever I had settled into my lungs. I'll tell him about the H1N1 outbreak and get tested if he wants to run the test, but at this point I think it's safe to assume that I was [Immune] to the Pig Plague, but definitely [Infected] with the damn PAX pox.

Even though it's been a week of misery, it was entirely worth it, and I don't regret going to PAX for a single second.

I pay $70/month for my bus pass. Even insurance around here costs at least that much, not taking into account gas and maintenance.

... pigs fly just fine.

In my one experience with Tiger Direct, the following occurred:
- 1 year warranty on the product they were offering, only for me to discover once it broke that they were just reselling the manufacturer's 90-day warranty. Of course, they changed their website prior to me realizing this and I didn't get a screenshot so I couldn't report them.
- Claiming to be without duties (even at the .ca domain, with big Canadian flags saying "NO DUTY"), and when the product arrived at my door it had a $150 COD for... dum dum DAAAAAAA... duty, as they shipped from PA.
- A toll free number advertised on their CANADIAN site that only worked from the states, forcing me to call long distance to get their customer service who were essentially inept and couldn't answer any of my questions shy of "talk to the manufacturer."

Never again.

You should really go up to the spammers and demand your electrons back.

he kept /home on a separate partition and the upgrade is a moot process. Provided your /home drive isn't reformatted, you should feasibly be able to completely overhaul your whole system and have it look exactly as it was just before you reinstalled it. Then it's just a matter of having your local linux geek over to your house once every six months. I know a fair number of people that would do this service for friends for payment of beer.

This is why my motto (and fundamental rule for life) is Don't be a dick: it's simple to understand, and reasonable people can agree on what it means.

Those episodes were just the movies spread out... nvm

You're missing the season that was produced for Comedy Central after FOX dropped them.
