Reply to Do you Sudoku? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I love puzzles, but for some reason Sudoku has pretty much zero appeal for me. But perhaps that's a good thing, based on other people saying it's so addicting.

Reply to Bush Saves Los Angeles in Politics JoeUser Forums

Well, just the typical Rove/Bush crapola going on here...poll numbers are still down, the State of the Union address didn't do much to change anything, so let's scare the living daylights out of people. Irrational fear seems to be this White House's most effective weapon. The fact that the LA mayor's office knew nothing about it is pretty telling, I think.

Reply to Britney Spears: a *GASP* bad mother? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I can't stand Britney Spears anyways, but this story just took the cake. I can't believe that she's trying to justify her actions in her obviously written-by-a-lawyer statement by blaming it all on the paparazzi. Paparazzi are definitely a problem, and many of them do definitely go over the line, but it's becoming way too convenient for celebs to whine "it's all those lousy mean nasty photographers' faults, not mine!" All I could think when I saw th

Reply to Addicted to Lost in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I totally agree on the repeat issue, it gets ridiculous sometimes. It really does put me into withdrawals! We do have a new episode this week, but I'm just wondering if there will be repeats after that because of the Winter Olympics. I could go check at Lost-Media.com, but I'm just too lazy to do that right now. BTW, I totally dig Mr. Eko. He's terrific. <img src="http://me

Addicted to Lost in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I've been hooked on Lost since the first second of the first episode. I really am addicted, y'know. Going through withdrawals since last week's episode was a repeat. Thank goodness this week's episode will be a good, fresh fix. I thought the vast majority of the commercials shown during the Super Bowl yesterday were downright stupid and not worth talki

Heart of the City, 6 February 2006 in Humor JoeUser Forums

I don't know how many of you read Heart of the City, but it's a great comic strip. It never fails to make me laugh, because it's clever, funny, and appeals mightily to my inner geek. Today's strip is a prime example of why I love it...I can sympathize with the sentiment, believe me. <img sr

Miss Fizz, what have you done to your nick I needed a change, because the "Jinn Fizz" handle only brings up bittersweet memories and ultimately doesn't mean what it did to me before.

Reply to Finally Got to see "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"! in Misc JoeUser Forums

The Hitchhiker's Guide book series was one of my favorite book series when I was in high school (many, many moons ago), and I still have a great love for it. I was excited about a big screen version...and then I nearly walked out of it, it was so bad. As a matter of fact, for me it was the single worst movie of 2005. Only Alan Rickman's voice as Marvin the Paranoid Android and Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast made it semi-tolerable. The rest was just a

Reply to Do They Make Pop-Up Blockers For TV? in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I knew pop-up blockers weren't possible, but man, I wish they were. I also just don't understand why some of the people at the TV networks (and it isn't just the big ones, it's also cable channels...BBC America is a big offender) think that this kind of advertising is effective. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing but annoying, and also disrespectful of the program that's currently on the screen. It's just dumb, but I guess in some ways, i

Do They Make Pop-Up Blockers For TV? in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I'm starting to feel like someone needs to create a pop-up blocker for our TVs. It was bad enough when channels starting using the station ID "bugs" in the lower right hand corners of our screens. Now it's gotten worse than that. Much, much worse. What is it with stations lately, with their advertising that pops up in the corners and takes up at least a

Sometimes I really do hate people. And that's not good when my job is composed of constantly working with people.

Shame on me! So time to change that.

Reply to GMail Crashing IE in Internet WinCustomize Forums

It's especially frustrating because I've been trying to use IE to view only one particular email, my daily comic strips from Ucomics. Adam@Home is completely blocked by Ad-Block in Firefox, so I need to read it in another browser for it to be visible. So that's why I've been trying to use IE. But at least I have Netscape too, so I can use that as well. But I've also sent an email to Ucomics asking them if they can figure out why that one particular
