Re: NFL playoff thread - Uninterested folk STAY OUT I agree. I don't think the Skins defense will be able to stop the Seahawks. The Seahawks offense is much better than the TB offense was. Simms is no Hasselbeck. Not yet, anyways. I don't understand why everyone hates the Pats so much...

Robertson Links Sharon's Stroke to Devine Wrath Mmmmmmmmyep.

Right now? A student. I have one semester left to get my CS degree. I also have a minor in history, where I have been concentrating on Europe in various time periods. I have a part-time job where I do web programming for our student tech support group until I graduate. After graduating I am...

As opposed to.....? I think penalty shots are exciting. Anyways, sports here are incredibly important to a lot of people. I imagine arguments over American football teams and/or baseball teams have the same level of ferocity as arguments over soccer/football do in other parts of the world...

Shadow of the Colossus is an awesome game so whatever they spent is totally worth it. The more people that play it the better.

Every single Sox fan I know is a prick. Seriously, if one more person starts giving me attitude about the fact that I am not a hardcore Sox fan then I am going to officially declare myself a Cubs fan just to piss them off. I don't even like baseball, but I really want to spite them.

I never listen to critics. I only listen to general feelings towards the movie. If a majority of people I talk to like the movie then I'll consider going.

So Bush says it is 'duplicative', meaning the rules are unnecessary since they already exist...and they they say that it would 'limit the president's ability as commander-in-chief to effectively carry out the war on terrorism'? Which is it? If these rules already exist then how will including...

You didn't answer his question.

You seem surprised. If someone acts stupid then someone else is going to call them on it. That's NMA. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

I went out and bought the DVDs fr 40 bucks yesterday after watching Serenity for the 3rd time. I feel.....complete.

I really really liked it. Kotario is absolutely right in saying it is no cinematic masterpiece, but it is a billion times more original than the crap Hollywood has been putting out recently. It was so much more entertaining than any other sci-fi movie I have seen in recent times. If you call...

I never recommend Hijack This for people that aren't too good with computers. I tried it once, and it fucked up the person's computer...which I then had to fix. It is a really good utility if you know what you are doing, though.

Yeah, because that wouldn't cause any problems with people deleting random system files in order to 'organize their computer' or anything. Yep. I'm sure no one would ever mess with stuff they don't understand. Yep. Anyways, to boot into safe mode reboot your machine and press the F8 key...

Glad to hear she's ok. On a side note, my girlfriend goes to Loyola. I was there visiting her this last weekend. She said Loyola has accepted like 350 students from the south in response to Katrina.

Northern Illinois University in Dekalb. It's about 2 hours drive west of Chicago, out in the middle of nowhere. Fun fact: Barbed wire was invented in Dekalb.

Nope. Is UIC the second largest public college in the state? I read in a magazine that it was Northern Illinois, and it's pounded into us by the administration here all the time. I'll amend my first sentence in my last post if I'm wrong.

I go to the second biggest state school in Illinois. I would say a large majority of the students here have middle-class or higher parents by far. One of my roommates is black and grew up on the south side of Chicago and does not have a dad in the picture. He is going to school almost entirely...

Very true, but is the 'good stuff' actually that much better? Will I get better fuel economy? Will my car run longer? Is there less wear and tear on my engine? What are the benefits? One reason I never even considered it was that my mechanic uses regular for his car. Every mechanic I know...

My roommates and friends constantly bitch at me about how much gas costs. Yet they drive to class when their building is literally a 10 minute walk at most. I haven't even seen my car in about 2 weeks since I park it away from my apartment. They drive everyday to places they could easily walk...
