    Motor Trend's 2002 Car of the Year.

    Where does Ford win nowadays? Ford/Jaguar racing really sucks ass in Formula 1. I don't see it winning any touring car championships. Don't Honda's dominate CART (maybe that is just cuz there are so many of them). Not sure about IRL or NASCAR (don't follow the turn left -> straight -> repeat...

    Win XP + Winamp + IE = skip skip skip

    It's the smooth style scrolling in IE that causes the high CPU usage (notice Mozilla or Netscrape doesn't exhibit those problems cuz they don't use smooth scrolling). I fixed these problems by installing the latest video card drivers. I would recommend installing the latest video drivers...

    How do biological weapons work?

    The only knowledge I really have is of the movie "12 Monkeys" where the bad guy opens this vial of the "toxic air" containing the germs. But really, how do they work?

    Clarence Thomas Book Author Says He Lied in His Attacks on Anita Hill

    Thank you for pointing out the hypocrisies of the Republican party. American politics has a way of bringing out the worst in both parties, Republican and Democrat. At the worst the whole Thomas-Hill fiasco shows one would be ridiculous to assume that the republicans are morally superior, at...

    weird restaurant experience

    Yeah, I'll have my bf take me there some time. :) I keep on hearing rave reviews about that place, but I heard its REALLY pricey, but good thing he pays for everything! :) I also want to try out The Palm (I heard its better than Ruths Cris for steak!) before I leave LA.

    weird restaurant experience

    My friend and I walked into a swanky Chinese Beverly Hills restaurant. She is Cuban and I am Asian. I asked her what she was thinking of ordering. She said, "I'll probably get the Kung Pao chicken but not white rice since I don't like white rice." Then out of nowhere, the waiter...

    A feminist site that really sickened me..

    hahahaha Yeah, she was pretty psycho. Anyone see the indie movie, "I Shot Andy Warhol?" It was basically a biography of her life; how she was the ultra militant feminist in the 60s (i think or it might have been the 70s) who was completely delusional and tried to assasinate Andy...

    How do you think G.W. is doing so far?

    Some of my cds are really scratched and/or have some gunk on them. Are the cd cleaner kits worth it or is it better just to wipe it off with a soft cloth?

    Pres. Bush declines to recognize gay pride month...

    I completely agree as well. Its annoying having all these gratuitous "celebration" days/months, especially when the federal government gets involved. But didn't Bush create a National Prayer Day or something like that?

    Teenage boys tie dog to railroad tracks, leave it to die

    I guess the thing that gets to me the most is that it was a sequence of events (stealing the dog from the yard, taking it to the tracks, clubbing it on the head, leaving it out there) If any of them had any sort of conscience, they would have or could have backed out of the plan. Secondly...

    Teenage boys tie dog to railroad tracks, leave it to die

    This is disgusting. I can't believe the cruelty of some people. story What do you think should be the appropriate punishment for these boys? I guess anti-cruelty counseling is sorely needed. And this leads to another question: what leads people to commit deliberate acts of cruelty to other...

    Depeche Mode

    I love Question of Lust, Somebody, Shake the Disease because they are sung by Martin Gore whose voice I like better than Dave Gahan. But I also like Master and Servant, Blasphemous Rumours, and Everything Counts, and Enjoy the Silence. The album 'Singles 86-98' is their best of double album...

    places to go in europe

    If you are going to Italy, I HIGHLY recommend going to the island of Capri for at least a day. The island is a sight in itself--a tall rock in the sea whose sides are strewn with pine trees, grapevines, lemon and olive trees, roses and jasmine. It has beautiful beaches where you can lay out...
