Comment Money is a good fashion accessory too... (Score 1) 6

Watched a scene on Oprah where they had the women rate 3 men from 1 to 10. They hunkiest guy they said was a 9 and the worst guy was a 4. Then they took the pics to the street and along with the pics they put a fictional bio that included job and income. The 9 guy they gave a $25,000 income. The 4 guy they gave a $375,000 income. The women on the street rated the 9 guy a 5 and they rated the 4 guy a 10.

Comment Twenty real reasons he resigned--according to Woot (Score 1) 128

From: http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=8910

Don't believe the disinformation doublespeak about why Google CEO Eric Schmidt resigned from the Apple Board of Directors this morning. For the story the Applo-Googlo-controlled media doesn't want you to hear, check out the following straight-ish dope leaked by our sources on "the inside". (What those sources are inside of, we're not saying.)

      1. Too busy now that gmail is out of beta
      2. Nervous about the Apple board's new zero-tolerance meth policy
      3. Couldn't afford the gas for the Google-to-Apple monthly commutes
      4. Just about to crush Apple with gTunes. Oops, did we just leak that?
      5. Preparing to run for governor of Alaska
      6. Can no longer deny that the Zune is the future
      7. Just felt that they'd grown apart: "It's not Apple, it's me"
      8. Tired of lecturing Millard Drexler about his foot-odor problem
      9. Somebody keeps eating his pudding out of the break-room fridge
    10. Offended about the tetherball court being removed at AT&T's request
    11. Confused about how outsourcing works, he's going to serve on the board of some company in India
    12. Won't have time now that he's playing bass for Nickelback
    13. Upset that Steve Jobs refuses to release his real birth certificate
    14. Now he can get that Palm Pre he's been eyeing
    15. Never really forgave the Klingons for the death of his boy
    16. Board meetings interfered with his plans to camp out for opening night of The Twilight Saga: New Moon
    17. Decided to dedicate his life to finally finding a cure for fan death
    18. Could no longer stand the anxiety of hiding his forbidden love for Steve Wozniak
    19. Was only ever in it for the advance copy of Snow Leopard anyway
    20. Couldn't resolve the conflict over which company was going to buy Woot

Comment Here I was... (Score 1) 6

...thinking that my ex was the only woman in the world to forget our anniversaries--the last 7 in a row. Technically she's not legally an ex, but I'm working on it. Why do all the TV shows give men shit about forgetting anniversaries. I remembered anniversaries and birthdays, but the bitch didn't.

Journal Journal: Why I hate Opera 2

I can handle opera the form of musical expression ok at times, but I really cannot stand Opera the browser at all. I have tried to like it and have installed practically every new version on my PC only to uninstall it shortly after. My problem with Opera is that it does a real poor job of detecting when web pages have changed and showing the updated page. During yesterday's Woot Off, this problem manifested itself clearly when I went back to the Woot page later in the day and it appeared they

Comment Why would you want to bother? (Score 1) 14

Honestly, I married a 30-year old virgin. I guess she fit the data: non-drinker, church goer, college degree, etc, etc. We decided to wait until marriage to do the deed. Big mistake. Turns out she didn't even know that men ejaculated, etc. "You want me to touch that? Get out of here!" Honest, you can't make this shit up. Oh we had our 2 kids, and had sex once a month for a while. Nothing in the last 7 years. I filed for divorce this past December. Like I said, you can't make this shit up. You are better off with your $20 dates in Springfield.

I wish I had mod points to mod up. Well said. It's as if the original poster asked whether he should get a Prius or a Honda hybrid and the respondents tell him he should get a horse instead.

Submission + - Japanese high tech toilet makers aim for USA (japanesecustomer.com)

Peter Hanami writes: "Japanese high tech toilet makers are now aiming for the USA. The washlet may be soon become a household word in the USA. Japanese high tech toilets are a luxury item that once tried are hard to resist. A heated seat, a bidet, air freshner and some models even dry, meaning the user doesn't need to use toilet paper. A must have item in Asia, will Japanese high tech toilets find a place in the USA market?"

Submission + - Sun Aiming at 4-for-1 Reverse Stock Split (physorg.com)

eldavojohn writes: "It sometimes signals troubles with stock prices but it essentially means that each stock holder's shares will be quartered while the price of each quadrupled. This doesn't seem to be the case with Sun however. From the article, "CEO Jonathan Schwartz said that having Sun's stock below $10 — where it has been mired since 2002 — created an inaccurate perception that the Santa Clara, Calif.-based server and software maker was still struggling to overcome its post-dot-com era slump. He said competitors pointed to Sun's stock price to sway "naive customers who might not be able to look beneath the surface." Sun's stock has been holding at around five dollars for years now."
