Apple and AT&T have been in a committed monogamous relationship for at least a year now, brought together by their clever but imperfect baby iPhone. Little iPhone is healthy and growing, but these iPhone-hating killjoys have filed class-action suits against Apple and AT&T, charging them both with monopoly.
Radiohead: you downloaded In Rainbows already, right? Here’s the link again. (I couldn’t get the official site to work for me so I obtained it through other means. Still, I hear many people were not defeated by the glacially slow site yesterday; therefore be not afraid. And the cd is pretty good, if you like Radiohead, which everyone seems to.)
Moon you can plug in!
More moon you can plug in!
Steve Ballmer really doesn’t like Linux and he’s telling us all why. Again. The first reason I personally don’t like Linux is because I can’t configure my laptop’s wireless to work with anything other than Windows. The second reason is that I don’t know the commands well enough to make the Linux terminal thing work efficiently for me. So really, it’s my own fault, and I have nothing actually bad to say about OpenSource.
Finally: some scientists figured out how to harness the power of science to bring them a great deal of fame and money. They are winners. In Physics, Albert Fert and Peter Gruenberg win for coming up with something nano-tech related. In Chemistry, Gerhardt Ertl wins for figuring out how to watch things rust. And in Medicine, Mario Capecchi, Martin Evans and Oliver Smithies win for figuring out how to target and influence specific genes in mouse DNA.
P.S. Geeks, some encouragement from last night at 6th and Pike: this salacious lady wants to have sex with you even if no one else does. She’s already in her pajamas ready to go. (Why do I have to walk past this every day? I like how the flash makes her look all “from my heart to yours.”)
First moon link getting fixed... don't jump on me yet.
You have to look at that shit everyday because the ratio of waomen offended by it to women compelled to walk in and purchase it is very lopsided on the side of th3e latter.
Victricia's Secret or whatever the fuck that place is called? It's not state run. Nerd your anger at women with a lingerie budget, Mormon. (The 2nd m is silent by the way.)
That's American Eagle's window mannequin, by the way.
I think the top is cute, which is shocking to me because American Eagle is not usually my style. Then again, I'll fuck anything that moves.
I'd hit it.
No head=no oral, pass.
Seems to be a trend...pajama-chic. I swear, I hate those girls that show up in a 12:30 class in flip-flops, sweatpants and some camisole top... If you can't roll out of bed and at least make yourself presentable by noon then maybe college isn't for you. (Ducking to avoid impending onslaught from sloggers)
What exactly does the PJ mannequin have to do with geeks? Are you saying that the only girls we have a chance with are made of plastic and possess unnatural body shapes? 'Cause that is encouraging!
Otherwise? Not so much.
@7: Also, if you can afford to go to college, you can afford real clothes.
Mostly, though, I get angry because college girls are the ones with hot bodies, and they fuck it all up by wearing shapeless sweatpants like they have a diaper to hide.
I thought the mannequin was for women - we do have one of the highest proportions of lesbians in Seattle, after all.
At least she's not too anorexic.
Katelyn;
The company that created your wireless access chipset is most likely the company my workgroup told to go take a hike when we ran into the same problem and they said "Windows or nothing."
Intel makes one that is much more amenable to Linux and relatively cheap. Not knowing which would work best for your specific laptop, I'd be reluctant to tell you which is the right one for you, but if you check out one of the more serious parts suppliers (maybe Hard Drives Northwest) or even Intel itself, they could help you in no time flat.
