@QAdam: [www.microsoft.com]

He said he went to the download page.
There is a top 5 very clearly there, which expands to another 45.
It was clear.

Why are people moaning about the address bar? SO TERRIBLE TO SEE THE TITLES OF PAGES

@Antihippy: They actually have New Zealand accents.
Because it is in New Zealand.

It'd be much stranger for them to have any OTHER accent.

Everyone is talking about how for lower-end users, desktop have no benefit over laptops...

I'm thinking, extremely loudly, the word "price".
My 500 dollar desktop is three times as good as my 600 dollar laptop.

@DarrenTheFilmGeek: The survey, and song, was created in the mid-90s.

All this talk of 'petals' and 'symbols' in the comments make me think I'm reading The Odyssey.

I just discovered this about three days ago, it's amazing.
I love that it tells you the exact percent of your battery.
My 'right' button has been broken for a while on my Powershot A540, and it sucked because I couldn't change a lot of options in manual mode, but this completely fixes it, because somehow they thought to (for no other reason than I can see except help people with a broken right arrow) make it so that the FUNC key acts as a right arrow. That saves me about a 60 dollar repair.

I also really like the bitrate options for the video-- putting it at .25x bitrate doesn't seem to experience any quality loss (why do Canon cameras always think that their video is so much better than it is?) and makes a minute long video 20mb instead of 500mb.

I realize that most people mentioning the other uses for it are doing it to be purposefully lame in some kind of nerdy-chic way, but I'd like to point out that looking at the pencils, it's only a bit wider than a pencil and about a fourth the length. That is nowhere near the size of a working butt plug.

It'd be like seeing a portable USB flash drive and thinking it's a suggestive size.

I don't think that's a "CD slipped in between the pages" as much as it is "a piece of paper cut into the shape of a CD". Maybe I'm nuts.

These people getting so far without dying are either lying or autistic, or something.

Or maybe I'm just retarded.

I got to level 4 after 39 deaths.

In my apartment building, the elevator door literally sits open for five entire minutes if you don't press the close door button. It closes instantly when pressed.

@Jonman: Being 240 pounds and having read that article, I'm pretty sure it didn't count me out. I think it was more like 350 pounds.

Hell, Reggie is more than 200 pounds.

Why is everyone talking about them breaking? Does something about them look super delicate, and I'm missing it?

egyptiansushi commented on Question of the Day: How Many Remotes Do You Have?

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 01:42:58 EDT

I have one universal remote that only has my TV and my cable box programmed on it.
My computer monitor is better for watching DVDs so we don't have a DVD player.
I don't get this remote overload.

I sat on one of those this summer at a crafts store. They were so ridiculously 75 dollars, but so comfortable.

egyptiansushi commented on Hookah Table Not What It Sounds Like, Thank Gawd

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 01:38:24 EDT

Yeah.. seriously didn't get the 'sounds like' joke. Hookah has a "hoooo" sound in the beginning, not huwh like hook.
It's hoo-kah, not hook-ah.
Weird that people don't know that. ;)

And this is just going by if the commenter was right about it sounding like 'hooker'.

Seriously, everyone forgets that Nintendo 64 games were way smaller than what is being allowed for the WiiWare games.

Am I missing something that points away from this?

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:56:41 EST

@MidnightScott17: when you first start the game (or choose to 'leave' the game after you are past the splash screen to get back to it), you have to pick a picture to put in your four-picture album.
From there, you can choose to "enlarge" a picture, and then press the minus button either on your wii remote or classic controller to send it to your message board.

you can only send one per day.

From the message board, you can send the image to others just like any other image.
