And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Ha. LIKE the Mormons would let that happen.

Didn't the Masons buy the Mormons?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Didn't the Masons buy the Mormons?

Yep. Now known as M&M. They send out coded messages to the faithful in the form of little candies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Which is why you can get the red M&Ms again (they're the ones that are an aphrodesiac (you need at least five)).

Actually I wasn't being facetious. Remember when Steve Jobs announced that Microsoft had bought a controlling amount of shares in Apple? They recreated the famous 1984 TV ad, except it was Bill Gates' face on the screen, telling everybody that Microsoft would make sure Apple succeeded?

Let me Google...

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a controlling interest.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Anyone have any recommendations for/against external hard drives for a mac?

(back from Google)

You're right, tommy, it wasn't a controlling interest (I'm guessing that would've been too much for the USG to ignore on the monopoly front). I've been reading fairly dry legal contracts about which company has to do what...and my head hurts.

MS invested $150 million in Apple, resulting in the renaissance of Apple. In return, Apple got protection from being hostily overtaken and had to share trade/development with MS (not thoroughly but in several definied areas).

What I'm trying to find is how much money Microsoft gets when people buy Apple things...I assume it's the same as any other shareholder, times 25 million (approx. the number of shares MS has in Apple).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's the google web accelerator when it's at home, and why does it make signals v. noise so pissy?

Does anybody here have experience with Mac-based VCD creating programs? I found one, iVCD, which looks pretty good, but it's $29.95, which seems a little pricey to me for something that I'm only going to use very occasionally.
