  1. Me too. Also, Lycanthrope. Also, this thread is stupid.
  2. Easiest way would probably be to just record the audio output of your PC. I generally use some Creative recording software for that.
  3. Indeed. But they tried. They set things up as though they could go down real bad, or so that massed violence seems like the best answer....then they nerf it with some sissy cop-out plot device where they just make up some random combination of technological jargon and have about five minutes of suspense while they see if it works. Then everyone goes home happy and they do it again next week. Not the rule, but the norm.
  4. Embrace insomnia and it will one day help you kill a thousand barbarians in their sleep, as they make camp overnight in a frigid mountain pass. With a little paring knife.
  5. 1: The problem is too complex and widespread to be solved simply, easily, or quickly. 2: The problem is a symptom of societal pressure which is, in general, fluid but has a life of it's own. It cannot be controlled, only guided, and only slightly, and only sometimes. 3: I expect that the problem will get much, much worse before it gets better. If it ever gets better. I can't see a way out of this population death-spiral. 4: That said, no, they should not ban panhandling because some guy got stabbed in a dispute related to it. That's knee-jerk, reactionary idiocy. Welcome to the pessimist's view. Edit: Potentially the lazy pessimist. Whether I think there's no solution legitimately or just because it's too hard is open for debate.
  6. That's why Star Trek fails to entertain me. It's cute. Their odd attempts at true badassery always seem tacked-on and feeble. It's always some corny speech about human perseverence and understanding and heart and all that bullshit.
  7. General Patton. Case closed.
  8. I know where he lives. Just say the word.
  9. Too many pumps hate my cards, so I don't bother paying outside any more.
  10. Yep. Same deal. Nobody wants (or could steal, with the transponder key) my Neon in 20 seconds, but they could easily swipe my iRiver H10.
  11. Ah yes, the self-proclaimed "hotline suspense comedy". Any movie that ends with a glorious montage of nuclear detonations is up there in my book. And, of course, the cowboy bit. And fluids. Precious fluids. Another one where I can overlook the hideous technical inaccuracies surrounding the B-52s.
  12. Pretty much. And that bit with the satchel harge that apparently has like...a five minute fuze. Like they wouldn't find it and throw it back before then.
  13. Not that bad if you like endless stabbings.
  14. Sweet, coppery blood. Also, hotdogs and salad.
  15. Aside from having a shaved head and being a white guy, there is no resemblance at all.
  16. It'll probably go the way of Doom and Bloodrayne. Toobad. Codename 47 is a fantastic game.
  17. Windows alone won't do it...usually you need to use the display drivers and control interface for the video card itself. And even then, most of them don't have the option. I use nVidia nView Desktop Manager with an eVGA 7900GT Superclock. My right side screen is actually higher up than my left by several inches....but I mostly use it for TV.
  18. Here's that giant bottle of scotch the president wanted you to drink!
  19. That's not really hard to do. That said, Transformers was largely excellent. Some things went unexplained, but that was to be expected. And Jazz was dumb. I'm glad that he was torn in half. The final battle sequence of the movie, from a strategic and tactical standpoint, was unmitigated idiocy on the part of the humans and autobots. Lure the enemy into a crowded population centre....good plan. But it was so cool besides that that not even I care that much.
  20. I bet it doesn't say "Moby" either.
  21. I wonder what that barcode would scan as? Not Malibu Barbie, anyway.
  22. I'm glad someone got that.
