...and now for a really random question that popped into my head about 10 minutes ago for some reason. Forgive me if I don't explain it very well (it's been at least 20 years since I played with these things...)
Way back when I was just a young sprout in the 80s, there were these He-Man...

I just put this computer together (for the wife) and I cannot for the life of me get Windows XP to install...
The Chuck E. Cheese thread about the guy who got tazered for allegedly not paying for his salad inspired an argument that admittedly was more interesting than the original topic. :D
So...I put it to the "real" electrical engineers and the armchair electrical engineers:
Would wearing a...
WHEN THE FSCK IS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY GOING TO MAKE A COMEBACK?!!!?!?
The story
At a December hearing, authorities said Devin Thompson, when he was apprehended, told officers, "Life is a video game. You've got to die sometime."
So my wife and I split a nice ribeye for dinner last night and I got to wondering where the term "marbled" came from in reference to a cut of beef that is "marbled" with fat.
The only thing I could think of that made any sense was that marble (the stone) has "veins" running through it that...
Fair warning: Stay the fsck out if you have nothing useful to contribute. If you don't like cats or just want to post a typical flamebait comment like "Cats suck", don't bother posting.
Cliffs Notes are not included. Reading comprehension and a attention span longer than 5 seconds are...
Heh heh heh....I mean Edward Norton movie.....
Syringer was asking for it when he made a poll that didn't include the excellent Edward Norton movie "Primal Fear". :P
In light of the constant bitching, pissing and moaning about FedEx and UPS on ATOT, I'd like to make a motion that a new forum be dedicated solely to discussing FedEx and UPS. Your thoughts? :P

I give you the following definitions:
pole
n.
1. Either extremity of an axis through a sphere.
2. Either of the regions contiguous to the extremities of the earth's rotational axis, the North Pole or the South Pole.
3. Physics. A...
I'm in the habit of making myself a fruit smoothie for breakfast a couple times a week. I pour it into a container and take it with me when I leave for work in the morning so I can drink it on the way. I managed to leave the container in the car under the seat for about a week, being the...
I can't believe I'm asking this on ATOT and expecting a serious answer, but here goes:
My wife and I have two bathrooms in our apartment. We've been having this problem recently with this godawful smell in her bathroom only, whereas my bathroom is fine. I'm not talking about the "Who the fsck...
Yes, I'm sure some of you have seen this before.
No, this is not another sure-to-degrade-into-a-pointless-flamewar-homosexuality-debate-thread, so save the commentary. This is for amusement purposes only.
Warning: This may be slightly non-work-safe, so read at your own risk.
Edit: Yes...
Link shamelessly stolen from another forum I lurk on
Check out the 3rd picture down and look at what happens to be visible through the window in the background. :D
Edit: Reposted for the people who don't spend every waking moment on ATOT just to piss off the Repost Nazis. :P

This is pretty fscking lame. I can see why he would have a problem if the guy owned "jerryfalwell.com" (a la the Nissan.com guy from a while back) or something, but it's patently obvious the only reason he came down on this guy is to suppress any criticism of...
As you may have already guessed, my unholy union with Mrs. Encryptic has borne poisoned fruit. :evil:
Seriously though, I'd just like to say that this is definitely one of the most joyous moments of my life. All I can say about how I'm feeling right now is...."Wow".
It's a boy, by the way. :D

Gotta hand it to these guys. They escape, make a beer run and come back to share it with everyone. :D
The only question that arises: How'd they get the money to buy the beer?
Just came back from a bathroom break at work and it occurred to me that I have no idea why some public toilet seats are U-shaped (as the toilet seat in my office's bathroom is), whereas most homes have an O-shaped toilet seat without a gap in the front.
I await the unveiling of the answer to...
So who's watching Nip/Tuck tonight? :D
Hope we finally find out what's going on with Matt and the interrogation. Tonight's episode looks interesting though based on the previews, since apparently Kimber is coming back.
Just like the topic title says, what movie in your opinion is overrated?
My personal picks:
- The English Patient. Yeesh....I turned it off after about 30 minutes because I was bored out of my mind. My parents were the ones who rented it originally and they didn't like it either.
- The Royal...
