These mail ads are getting to the level of email bombing. I logged into my mail account last night to see twenty or so new messages, almost al of them advertisements. Fortuneatly, no porn ads yet, but it's just a matter of time before I end up on their lists too. But the real problem is...

As good as this computer system has been to me in the two and half years that I've been running it non-stop, it's finally time to reach down into my pockets and pull out a big wad of sweaty money for a new computer. I'm gonna get a whole new system and take this one and turn it into a Linux...

>>http://www.howstuffworks.com/ I came across this site a few days ago when I wanted to find out about Rotary engines. Since then I've spent a few hours every day reading the articles on it. From beer to economics, from cars to microprocessors, this site has tons of well written and...

Come one, come all and play the new contest that is sweeping the nation. Last night during an apparent fit of boredom and possible loss of logical thought, a coworker of mine created a sculpture of manhood out of plastic bags and packing tape. Then during break time, to the cheers and...

I don't know fellas, this thing is going nuts on me. I started noticing little nuisance problems about three days ago with my computer. Like when I'd be in Internet Explorer and pull down the address bar, IE would freeze up and I'd have to use ctrl-alt-del. About a day after, when I'd use...

Well basketball fans, its that time of the year again. Vote for who you think will get the trophy this year. Whoever gets it right will get a nice surprise. As much as I have to stand behind my home team (Philadelphia 76ers) I don't think they have what it takes this year. If anyone is...

We were discussing this topic over at another forum, and I wondered what was the funniest work experience for the civfanatics realm. for me: If you ever want to work in a place where you'll get all kinds of fun stories, get a job as a truck loader/unloader at UPS. I've been working as a...

I've been reading over a lot of information on the internet lately about piracy in all it's forms; be it music downloaded in MP3s, DivX encoded DVD rips, or software ISO rips. And although I do not deny the wrongfullness of distributing pirated media over the internet or on the street, I think...

Cruisin' about today, I found some meager screen shots from Lord of The Rings on another site and thought they'd make some nice wallpapers. I've only got one prepared so far but as I finish up the rest I'll post up here too. Here's number one for ya' The Balrog I only prepared it in...

Thorsten Veblen once wrote: Property is still in the nature of trophy... meaning that people define themselves by both what they acquire and what they desire. Nowhere is this more evident than in the automobile. On the whole, no other machine is so finely engineered and desirable to men then...

All the people I know have been telling me that IE is the best browser to use. They would be right if the thing actually worked. When Windows was fresh on my comp IE worked fine but as time went by it just got worse and worse. It started with just a few error messages and boot up problems...

(If you're easily offended by things of a sexual nature, please look away) This actually happened at Harvard University in October of last year. In a biology class, the Prof. was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen. A young female (freshman) raised her hand and asked, "If I...

Now, this is the way to diplomacy.

I stumbled across this the other day. Those of you who thought pong was dead, think again. However, use caution when playing. I've found my self quite addicted to it, despite gettin my booty wallomped several times. >> http://www.liquid.se/pong.html see if you can beat my score (the AI is...

I've tried turning of Javascript and other active scripting. I've tried Thunderfall's recommended pop up killer. I've tried other pop up killers. And none of them worked on the pop ups on this site, but I just found this one today and I'll be darned it works! It's a 70Kb program that runs in...

Found this site on the internet a few days ago, thought I'd share a little sheep love with everyone on the forum. I'll tell you, I feel a lot more relaxed now that I've killed fifty sheep. http://website.lineone.net/~sheepcull/index.html Enjoy and have a good laugh. ------------------...

One christmas a mother gets her son a toy train set. Later that day she's in the kitchen and overhears her son. She hears the train go around a few times and then hears it stop. The little boy then says: "Attention, all you stupid sons-of-b****es who are getting off the train, don't let the...

I was playing civ last night, when one of my outlying and poorly defended cities had the misfortune of getting a barb attack. The single defending Phalanx was destroyed by maurading legions, and I got the message: "Give us [an obscene amount of gold] and we will not plunder your city..." I...

For several months now, we have been discussing new ideas for civ 3. But what I want to know is, when is the cutoff date for new ideas to be added to the game? Has Firaxis already decided what features should be added to the new package? Are ideas being discussed right now too late to be...

I'm getting sick of all the Starcraft nuts out there ranting and raving about how great Starcraft is, so I think its time for me to educate all of them as to why Starcraft is only a mediocre RTS. As someone who has defeated both games, and mastered the gameplay and tactics of the two, I hope...
