Reply to Holy Crap! Where's My Blanket? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

It's in the 80's here. Fall is my favorite time of year, but we hardly have it in this place. It's fall for about ten minutes one afternoon. Don't blink or you'll miss it. Otherwise it's an almost straight ride from Summer into Winter, usually just after Halloween. Looks like it's time to dig out the heavy jacket.

You might check the rankings at Alexa. The difficulty is comparing an interconnected community (such as JoeUser) to loose assemblage of independent sites (such as BlogSpot).

Reply to J/U Scoring Scheme: We're Not All Playing On A Level Field? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'm asking what is the criteria for gaining a higher access, Brad has said in the past that higher levels are granted to people who "contribute to the community." Mine was upped after a database crash caused Brad to lose all the (really good) comments on an article and I was able to restore them from my browser cache. <img src="../images

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. I've been watching it, but it's no stress if I miss an episode. It's an "okay" show, but I don't see it as being anything special. You like the similarities to past AS works, I see it as a problem. They just remind me of far better shows. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="

Wow. Wow. I think it is sad that a person such as Michael J Fox would parade himself around like a drooling sickly just to help democrats. ...a drooling sickly...

Reply to Alabama Candidate Banks On Boobs...For Money? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think this ably demonstrates the main problems with Libertarians and other alternative parties. Instead of learning effective marketing and fundraising techniques they resort to sideshow antics. That and most of the candidates they come up with seem to be kooks.

Speaking of which... Is it true L'il Bow Wow went on a tour of Asia and hasn't been seen since? Maybe Condi should learn that Thai bargirl ping-pong ball trick. She could hypnotize Kim by "juggling" ping-pong balls while humming Suicide Is Painless. Oh, that's right, we don't believe in anything bi-lateral. Well, I'm sure we could get six other guys willing to volunteer to be in the room.

Reply to Gay advertisements Offend Bus Driver in Current Events JoeUser Forums

no wymoo there is a similarity - the driver does not want to promote gayness in the same way the pharmacist does not want to promote birth control. I disagree. It might be analogous if the bus driver refused to drive homosexuals and they had to find a gay-friendly bus or taxi driver. Matters of public health and safety are hardly the sa

Reply to So..you want Microsoft to do it for you eh? in Community JoeUser Forums

It goes beyond the OS (and even computers). Frankly I thought Hotmail was better pre-MS. For a better example, look at what Yahoo did to eGroups, or Google to DejaNews. And if you want a brick-and-mortar example, Wal-Mart may be able to change your oil and shove tires on your car, but if you really want service and know-how, you'll have to go to a shop that specializes. kenwas nailed the expansiveness of the problem when he said, "Those with a finger in every pie ruin a lot of pi

not to mention, it's a much more effective alternative to all those red and orange security alerts during the run-up to the 2004 election.

The CIA probably pays him off in 14 year old virgins.
