TBA films in McConomy. Heh. "Stuff that has happened many times in the past is now news, because we just found out about it. So there!" Does anyone know if they involve as much heckling as regular Sunday night movies? Not quite so much in the way of heckling, aside from the one guy in the back who ...

Do you know how widely supported animated gifs are, or if it's just a specific browser?

Go to Office Max, and sit in all of the chairs. The store near my parents has about 50 different office chairs. Purchasing a chair you're going to use a lot without first trying it out is really really dumb. For example, my dad really liked one chair and was trying to pressure me into getting it. Bu...

The city itself certainly makes a difference for owning a car. Pittsburgh's not too bad, because it's a relatively small city with decent public transportation. I've also heard lots of good things about Portland's public transportation. However, in Silicon Valley or Dallas, or especially Houston, no...

The rising lines on the tv could be refresh rate. Depending on exactly what your drivers allow, you may be able to fiddle with the refresh rate quite accurately (59.9, 60.0, 60.1) and see what happens. Or it could just be plain old interference like you mentioned. Is your svideo cable shielded? Chec...

.xxx domain

So, thoughts on the .xxx top level domain? I think it's a good idea, if it gets critical mass of pornographers behind it. Sure, there's the possibility that kids will sneak onto that darked side of the web, but isn't it really better to have it all contained in one area anyway? If you want to block ...

There's a guy I sometimes pass when I'm riding my bike home from the PTC. He's about our age, and the first day I saw him, he gave the woe story that he just got out of the hospital and was trying to get home to his family. Then I saw him again the next day. I went out of town for a few days, didn't...

For those of you who aren't aware, Sombrero Guy is on the move. When we were freshmen, he always hung out in Squirrel Hill. Over the years, he moved down Forbes, eventually showing up on campus somewhat regularly, then by Craig Street, and then progressively further down past Pitt. And then he compl...

I've seen a fake DeBeers ad that either has the caption "diamonds are forever" or "she'll pretty much have to". More likely the second one. It's got a picture of a diamond and a silhouette of some good ol' fellatin'. I have been unsuccessful locating the picture, but if you can track it down, it mig...

Isn't Antarctica a desert? And baked Alaska is a dessert. So, what would happen if they went head to head? I bet it would involve an entire episode of charging up, like Dragon Ball Z.

giant desserts

I was going through some old posts on Mohtalim and came across a thread (July 2003) about giant desserts. I had mentioned the massive (5x5x1.5") rice krispy treats in the EA cafeteria, and Jonathan regaled us with tales of equally massive and affordable Intel brownies. Then Skanks talked about the t...

Good link, though they appear to be approximately the same price as cafepress, and possibly more. These on-demand printing places are expensive! I came across another online t-shirt printer, used by a variety of webcomics, including "goats". I'm not sure if it's on-demand or not. http://www.brunetto...

Yeah, I do visit one site that has restricted forums that Safari RSS works for. Don't ask me how it works though. You could always email the webmaster and ask. I'm sure at least some webmasters love to share info like that. Or, grab the rss xml (use wget or something) and look at it in a text edito...
