Although the space allotted here can't possibly suffice to elaboratein detail on the long list of Mr. Jay U. Anyong's Stalinism-orientedinclinations -- including the haughty, the wretched, the viperine, andespecially the unpleasant -- I'll use what little space I have to freeJay's mind from the constricting trammels of priggism and thecounterfeit moral inhibitions that have replaced true morality

You scored as True Alternative. You are a True Alternative! Labels do not suit you well, particularly as you tend to strike your own path and to grow purely via experience. No armchair quarterbacking for you! Originality and creation are your specialities, and sometimes you can even articulate what the hell just happened. Someday you may find yourself drawing the maps for other people... lots of

I have every right to be grumpy these past 2 mornings. I had to wake up at 4am to hitch to work with my brother to save on gas. Normally I wouldn't mind. I've got my contingencies in place. I'd wake up, get to the office at 5:20 or so, then crash on the couch for an hour or so usually bothering to peel myself off the office couch at around 7.Anyway, I head downstairs to the Local Fast food

RIP Troika, I loved your Arcanum and I'm now making my way through your last hurrah, Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines.I know it's an old game, but thanks to my kitty, I've been able to score a PC that can finally run the thing, and I've installed the latest patch for it (v3.1) to get it running sans bugs.My overall impression is that it kicks major amounts of ass.

I'm not a regular reader of the bible, but with quotes like these, a Bible can do when you're unable to rent a good DVD:----From 2 Kings 2 Elisha Is Jeered 23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a

Change is Good.At least, that's how the old saying goes. The only thing about it is the fact that a lot of people are inherently resistant to change. It's a known fact, given a perfectly comfortable situation, most people would rather stay and maintain the status quo rather than shake it up with something new and different.Part of my work is IT consultancy. I'll be the first to admit that I'm

Catch phrases don't equate to communication

It's a sad fact in the business world that sooner or later, you will run into a client or boss who'se idea of communication is to slather as many catch phrases into a single sentence as humanly possible.A co-worker of mine just ran into a client like that and now I'm dealing with the fallout.

There is a distinct tone of finality as the rusty gate of the dungeon entrance closes behind you."Sorry about this, stranger, but the law is the law." the guardsman said. "Your best hope of proving your innocence is to find your way out of the dungeon with the King's seal."He scratched his chin thoughtfully.

Not that I'm defending Satan or anything, but since when did being intelligent become the sign of the devil?Does this have anything to do with Creationism? Intelligent Design?Or are the Fundamentalists just sick and tired of losing to debates and court cases built on and conducted with the use of proper logic?Inquiring Nerds need to know!
