I was just on imdb, filling in tags for Pirates of Silicon Valley, which I thought was an appropriate addition to my iPod when I noticed the actor who plays Steve Ballmer is none other than Joe DiMaggio, the voice of the precocious lovable scamp Bender, of Futurama.

I haven't seen the movie in probably 5+ years, but it should make it interesting for the next time round.

If you watch Pirates of Silicon Valley a second time it will be the first time that movie was ever watched twice by the same person.

I was unable to figure it out. I ended up having to use 'special characters'

Edit: If someone does figure it out I'd appreciate it if they spread the info, though

I assume you meant John DiMaggio. If Joe DiMaggio was still alive, the Yankees really could have used his help a couple of weeks ago.

And btw, don't get me started about spelling. Last time I checked, you were rather relaxed about that matter. Or have you gotten into anal retentive mode yourself ?
