I live in a dump of a city, on the Dirty Bay, next to the second "fattest" city in the U.S., but apparently we're good at one thing. Friday night's Relay for Life raised $768,420.80 in donations. Like 80-90% of people I know walked all night til 2 or 3 am.

It is jarring how Photoshop artists embellish Gagarin's face.

My dad signed me up for Space Camp (Advanced Space Academy) this summer.
:woohoo:
(Just a random thought, that was the first youtube video I ever watched)

Oh, cool, this is also post 300.

Just a random thought: I've often read in death-penalty debates comments along the lines of 'why give this prisoner who committed X heinous crime a free bed and meals for the rest of his life'. IMO this is a rather fallacious argument, since it ignores the entire point of prison - depriving someone of their freedom. By negating/ignoring that point, you're effectively saying 'loss of one's freedom doesn't matter'. But if that were true, then why would anyone bother fighting for their freedom in war - since it apparently doesn't matter?

Ouch. :rofl:

How did you manage that? I haven't seen anything like it playing the Windows version of mahjong solitaire.

Burned again by Microsoft's habit of being paranoid on the user's behalf.

Of course, why I continue to use the Microsoft Live account my university set up for me as my primary account when I have others is beyond me (mostly momentum from when I was still in school, I think), but Microsoft seems to think that automatically stripping *.exe files from E-mails, even when they are in a *.rar, is being user friendly. "We don't want our users to catch viruses". And there is no way to turn off that filter, so if it's *not* a malicious executable from [email protected], but rather something you were *expecting*, that's just too bad. :beathead:

Google is doing that annoying thing as well, only it honestly says that it does not deliver mail bombs... um, programs. It's easy to go around - just rename the file.rar to file.archive, and it'll skip the thing easily.

Yeah, that's a very old trick... MSN prevents you from sending zip files... Just rename them to .txt, and voilà ! :lol:
