So rrue!!! I remember checking out all the "unpacking my new iMac" sites when the FP iMac's first came out.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

... you catagorize your pr0n according to the mood you may be in.


... you can tell the app the studio used to produce said pr0n.


... you actually use the term "pr0n" in spoken conversation (heard a guy do this the other day).

I'm waiting for this stupid MPEG2 encoding to finish so I can go to bed. Not much else to do except fiddle with the guitar which I'm too tired to do at the moment.

...the people at the front desk who sort your mail no longer ask for your photo ID when handing you packages, since you get three or four a month containing various computer stuff.

That is now the case with me.
