I was amused that a Google search for "cuil browser" brought up a negative review on the first hit.

Clodfobble 08-13-2008 10:58 AM

Nice... the actual cuil.com webpage is only the tenth result, and it's a random FAQ page--and the preview text Google pulls out of the whole page is the part that talks about what to do if you have Firefox.

I'm down to 40%, meself.

Sundae 08-15-2008 06:20 AM

60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category
!!!
Although some I had to just go with the closest answer.

Quote:

Imaginationland:
In this uncensored Director's Cut, the doors of the world's imagination are thrown wide open and the boys of South Park are transported to a magical realm in their greatest odyssey ever. Stan, Kyle, and Butters find themselves in Imaginationland just as terrorists launch an attack that unleashes all of mankind's most evil characters imaginable.

With the world's imaginations spinning out of control, the government prepares to nuke Imaginationland to put an end to the chaos. Racing against time to prevent nuclear annihilation, the citizens of Imaginationland realize their only hope of salvation lies in the mind of the unlikeliest of heroes: Butters. Ignoring the impending apocalypse, Cartman goes all the way to the Supreme Court to get justice for his case of dry balls.

Sexy vs Plain.
This woman tries to get things for free testing the sexy vs plain look but I found her method to be different depending on how she dressed. She should have used the same wording, the same kind of persuasion with the same personality but she didn't.

Awesome negotiation skills! You know an initial request to go to Disney will be rejected so you ask for something much bigger (or possibly smaller) and when that is rejected you offer what you really wanted in the first place as your consolation compromise.

She's prolly got a really big IQ :eek:

I like this. It is a history of conflicts from WWII to present day with all the countries represented as food.

Shawnee123 09-19-2008 03:25 PM

I really like that, bbro!

Here is a Sports Illustrated article written from the viewpoint of Yankee Stadium. Very nice. I hate to see structural history go away. My little brother sent me the link: mom just sent him and his wife to a Yankees game so they could see the stadium before it went. I think the game was rain-delayed or canceled but they did get to see YS. My brother also saw the Boston Garden before it was torn down. Sad, really.

I love this line, so true:

I am tangible Americana, like Independence Hall, the Alamo or Graceland.

Why do you keep posting all my memories?

Sorry, I meant to say does your machine download updates automagically from Microsoft on Patch Tuesday?

Does your machine's native search function now invoke Windows Search instead of the old search my computer?

Want the old one back? Here you go.

Too lazy to click? Here you go:

It’s time to remove that and bring back the Good ol’ dog (I’ve actualy removed that dog as it was very anoying. Tweak XP has a nice setting to use the classic search in Explorer - still the best search tool Microsoft has made… how sad)

Here is how you bring back the Dog or the Classic search in Explorer:

Quote:

Open RegEdit (Start > Run > regedit).

Find the following : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS

Double-click on ‘ShowStartSearchBand’ and set the value to ‘0′.
Close that and you’re done, the next time you click ‘Search’ in explorer, the old, reliable search companion will appear.

This applies to operating systems before Windows Vista

Happy searching.
Here's another one with a .reg file you can click.

This is a link to a thread in another forum. It's a building forum, and one of the guys there is a farmer who makes ends meet by designing trusses at a day job. The rest of the time he farms with his extended family.

He started a thread two years ago to describe life on the farm (with lots of pictures included.) I've been following that thread for a long time, and am always pleased when there is a new entry. It's got a couple thousand posts in it right now, but if you just skim through reading his (BossHog's) posts you get to see what it's like working the land, repairing equipment, dealing with mother nature, etc. etc. all from a simple point of view. He's not a smooth, eloquent writer, just matter-of-fact.

It's a perfect example of what make the internet beautiful. You read about his experiences and you come away thinking that you "get it." You know what it's like to be a farmer. Or at least hanging around with one.

I'm pretty sure you need to register to read the thread, but I think it's worth it.

Shawnee123 10-08-2008 10:46 AM

It's fun to go out with them after work and do shots? They're a barrel of fun? Working with them triggers your inner talents? They get fired a lot but then they just get loaded? They have good stock tips?

Why wouldn't you?

BigV 10-08-2008 12:39 PM

Why wouldn't I?

Shoot, I'm not just afraid of getting fired, it would kill me. I can just imagine it: round and round we'd go, blazing away at one another, until some little misfire jams everything. NOW I'd have a potentially explosive problem on my hands.

sweetwater 10-08-2008 01:18 PM

OK, OK, y'all just take a break now. Relax. I know better, really! I think the error was 'triggered' by the physical appearance of the letters and number, and I guess my fingers just tapped away all by themselves. They have no brains.
As neither do I. Or something! :Flush:

we're joking. j-o-k-e. you made a simple typing error, and a minor one at that. I picked up on that, as a joke, and s123, took my post and decided to pun with it. I returned fire and that was that. Just havin some fun. srsly.
