Windows backs down on draconian new Vista transfer limitations. I think this might be related to a few stories floating about stating that nearly 30% of tech-savvy XP users would consider switching to Linux instead of Vista as XP support for new features begins to fade, largely due to Vista’s very stringent license limitations. Mind you, there are still plenty of excellent reasons to switch to Linux, make no mistake about that.
Tony’s Track of the day — 11/01/06
Reason is Treason by Kasabian. I love the video for this one.
‘Not everyone appearing in this column is a deranged cross-dressing sociopath. Let me know if you find one and I’ll strangle him with my bra. Man, 56.’
Eccentric singles ads from the London Review of Books. Some of these are quite witty!
If you’ve ever criticized George W. Bush in any way, his former speechwriter would like you to know that he ‘hates your lying guts’.
Paul Burgess goes stark raving mad with right-wing fury and ejaculates this incoherent editorial in a Virginia paper. I’m surprised that such a hackish berk could even get a job as a speech-writer for a dog-catcher, but then in the Bush Administration standards have terribly fallen.
Alienware reviewers: your review better be fawning, or else…
Alienware threatens to cut off hardware trials if your review of their products isn’t positive enough. You know, when Dell bought Alienware people were a little skeptical of whether AW would truly remain a premium, high-performance brand or just fade into the “slightly better than usual” pool of vendors. Well evidently if you have to strong-arm good reviews from critics, you must KNOW that your product isn’t performing to expectations. Therefore, don’t shell out extra cash for Alienware, because “dude, you’re getting a Dell.”
It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes.
A famous quote by Joseph Stalin, who reminds us that the Soviet Union had elections too! Enjoy these anti-Diebold posters, even as Florida voting machines have already started doing their darndest to turn votes for Democrats into votes for Republicans.
Kids first… adults for dessert.
Actual, real Virginia CTHLHU license plate. You can pray to be eaten first, but clearly unless you’re a kid you’re just gonna have to wait. I think H.P. Lovecraft would probably be amused.
Ebay: the magic money machine.
Man turns $1 bill into over $11 on Ebay. Literally. I’m guessing that the buyer of said dollar bill isn’t a member of mensa.
Could this be the ‘mother of Rover’?
Strange gelatinous ball found in the sea off the Norwegian coast. Apparently The Village might be located in a nearby fjord after all…
Ever wonder how porn actresses remember their lines?
Porn dialogue cue cards (YouTube, with porn-y sounds). Really, it’s too much dialogue to just keep in memory.
