The man is 48 and still is at the peak of his game. Look at that guitar playing, the way he's able to effortlessly hit those high notes...if only he had busted out some "Sexy Motherfucka."
Honestly. Where can you even begin? I remember laughing at the "Shark Repellent Bat-Spray" as a kid, but I don't remember it taking four hours for Robin to climb down there and help Batman? And why does the shark blow up? Was it filled with Bat-Dynamite?!
...still better than the Power Ranger looking villain and Aunt May hanging off the side of a building by an umbrella in the Spider-Man movies though. :)
Now, at first I was like, "Wow, what fuckers are troops are." But the more I sat and thought to myself, the painful truth is that the reason they drive down a busy street in Iraq like that is because they have to. IED's could go off anywhere at any time, and honestly our Humvees and troops are just sitting ducks if they're stopped in traffic.
...but what do you think the Iraqis think? No, not the "evil terrrrrorist" ones, I'm talking about the innocent civilians out driving that day or walking down the street. They see this "Asshole America" that bullies their every move.
This war is beyond hopeless. Even if we somehow manage to win militarily, (bigif) we'll never be able to gain back the Iraqis trust and respect. Sending another 20,000 troops, (along with another 25,000 support troops which Bush conveniently forgot to mention) isn't going to do anything but make more targets...and more asshole drivers.
Yeah yeah, so he's spending Millions to rid AIDS in Africa...who cares about important stuff like that. Let's focus on his views of Macs and how VISTA is the greatest thing EV4R!!!
Are you bugged by the Apple commercial where John Hodgman is the PC, and he has to undergo surgery to get Vista?
I've never seen it. I don't think the over 90 percent of the [population] who use Windows PCs think of themselves as dullards, or the kind of klutzes that somebody is trying to say they are.
How about the implication that you need surgery to upgrade?
Well, certainly we've done a better job letting you upgrade on the hardware than our competitors have done. You can choose to buy a new machine, or you can choose to do an upgrade. And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it’s superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say? Does honesty matter in these things, or if you're really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There's not even the slightest shred of truth to it.
In many of the Vista reviews, even the positive ones, people note that some Vista features are already in the Mac operating system.
You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, "Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along," that's fine. If you’re interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. I mean, it’s fascinating, maybe we shouldn't have showed so publicly the stuff we were doing, because we knew how long the new security base was going to take us to get done. Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally.
...um, what the fuck is Gates talking about? I've had a Mac for over 7 years now and NEVER had a virus...not a single one! And ever since Molly and I switched over to OSX, we've never had a crash (knock on wood.) The PC's at my business (that I'm currently typing on) have so much SpyWare and Norton AntiVirus on them, it takes 5-7 minutes to even begin using the damn things! Take a walk into your nearest computer store. There'll be AT LEAST three to four aisles of nothing but virus protection software...all for PCs.
Bar none. If you haven't been following the "AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE-BOSTON BOMB SCARE" shame on you. Basically Cartoon Network called upon graffiti and performance artists to hang up these signs all across major US cities:
And they did so...THREE WEEKS AGO!!! In major cities such as Seattle, Pittsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn all had these signs hung up on overpasses, tunnels, sides of buildings, etc. And if you think it was just a handful, get a load of this:
"Police in Philadelphia said they believed their city had 56 devices.
The New York Police Department removed 41 of the devices — 38 in Manhattan and three in Brooklyn, according to spokesman Paul Browne. The NYPD had not received any complaints. But when it became aware of the situation, it contacted Cartoon Network, which provided the locations so the devices could be removed."
That's 97 devices and not a single phone call...especially in NEW YORK, you know, the place that has actually been ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS!!!
But Boston...oh, Boston. Bostonians were freaked the fuck out. What could these devices do? Did they simply show an 8-bit cartoon character flipping you off, or did they unleash toxic nerve gas like that scene from Batman with The Joker and the parade?! So people phoned the police and National Security was brought in and THE ENTIRE CITY OF BOSTON SHUT DOWN!!!
...folks, an entire city was brought to it's knees over a god damn Lite Brite. (hat-tip Ryan)
But...but they could've been BOMBS!!! We all know that the Terrorists have a wicked sense of humor! Oh, and that bombs are easily made using fucking D batteries?!
Seriously, read some of these quotes from the article:
"It's clear the intent was to get attention by causing fear and unrest that there was a bomb in that location," Assistant Attorney General John Grossman said at their arraignment.
The 1-foot tall signs, which were lit up at night, resembled a circuit board, with protruding wires and batteries. Most depicted a boxy, cartoon character giving passersby the finger — a more obvious sight when darkness fell.
The men did not speak or enter their own pleas, but they appeared amused and smiled as the prosecutor talked about the device found at Sullivan Station underneath Interstate 93, looking like it had C-4 explosive.
"The appearance of this device and its location are crucial," Grossman said. "This device looks like a bomb."
Some in the gallery snickered.
Outside the courthouse, Michael Rich, a lawyer for both of the men, said the description of a bomb-like device could be used for any electronic device.
"If somebody had left a VCR on the ground it would have been a device with wires, electronic components and a power source," he said.
We seriously need to reevaluate how fucked up things have gotten in this country and how the Government has scared us into little children. At least these guys seem to be taking it in stride...for now:
