What's wrong with the word "ace"?
You can be an ace pilot. You can ace an exam. You can have an ace card in the hole. However, an hdtv playing a video is not 'ace'.

I was at a party on Saturday with a former coworker. He showed me his new project: Partytoilet Dot Com. Apparently it's made $3 in the past week.  Profit? Not bad. No, gross.

I just found out my government created a new statutory holiday so I get to take February 18th off for "Family Day". I wonder if Hallmark will print up some cards for that. I've never been around for a new stat holiday, maybe I can start trailblazing on some customs for it, I'd really like the Family Day feast to consist of either Chinese food or Kraft dinner with a can of Chunky's hot chili mixed in. It's going to be in the dead of winter too, well past Christmas "isn't the snow beautiful?" and into "God I hate this fucking country" territory. I hope the idea is to just stay home under the blankets and sip hot chocolate or brandy. Edit: Completely unrelated picture of cute tiny frogs I couldn't figure out a way to post in any other topic.

Canada. I don't recall Bush authorizing them to have another holiday. Maybe someone released a memo or white paper that I missed.

Aparently that holiday is provincial only, which would explain why I hadn't heard of it. Stil no break in Feburary for me.

Hello from my new linux machine. This is the first time I have successfully installed any sort of Linux-based OS, other than that SLES 9 CDROM but I don't count that since SLES sucks and I wasn't going to use it anyway.

Yep. 6.06.2. Installing openssh so I can use it as a cd/dvd burner. Other uses TBD. I won't be using it to surf the net since the monitor is balls.

This textual virus arrived in my email from a parent and I figured, hey, why demonstrate I'm more responsible about bandying things around than the average 60 year old? Actually, it's pretty good, albeit not quite qualified enough to be referred to as useless conversation. Sorry if you've already seen it - who knows when this thing originated. The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1 If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Watching Countdown, an old folks show. There's 3 people on it I'd fuck.
Does this make me horrible or old or both ?

Well, if it's the two contestants and Carol Vorderman, then you've probably found the only episode with three attractive people. If one of them is Richard Whitely, you might be mentally ill.
