While I was away in Idaho this past weekend — visiting relatives for the wedding of one of my cousins, seeing my uncle finish Boise’s first Iron Man half-triathalon, watching coverage of McDonald’s fries inventor and resident potato billionaire JR Simplot’s televised funeral, and impressing the in-folk with my Scattergories rectal-extractive point-scoring techniques (”things found [...]

I’ve been looking into subtle advertising resources for the site here and I was just about to sign up with AdBrite, but it’s a good thing I opted to actually read the Terms of Service agreement.
I found a particular clause in the TOS that changed my mind about signing up, especially since you’re required to [...]

I’ve recently been sent an email forward warning against use of the 809 Area Code for phone calls, for the reason the email states, lest I be charged $2425 per minute. Yikes.
Good ole Snopes to the rescue as usual! Snopes reports the email to be fradulent, but offers important clarification on telephone scams in [...]

Dear Scotchy — My dichromium pulse array is on its last resistor port. I’m just too frustrated with the drop in radiation magnetism to be bothered to have to sort through every cathode amplification nodule. I’m sure you know how much a pain that can be. Are there any short [...]

While foraging the web for interesting stuff, I came across an article on Gizmodo about using Google to hunt up mp3s instead of using the ever-wary P2P method. If you use the following search terms: -inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) and include a quoted bit in there about a [...]

While it’s a nice idea that your computer will prevent a program from running some suspicious software that could really mess things up, Windows Vista’s DEP (Data Execution Prevention) just needs to get the frack out of my face on certain programs. I was trying to publish a Windows Movie Maker movie to post [...]

Dear Skotchy: I was trying to adjust the inverse phase variance on my diametric cathode-ray deflector dish, and I accidentally knocked a vial of trihypothalamic solution into the deflector’s pulse capacitance array.

The best option IMHO is to download the free player Real Alternative. The next best is to hunt down the Real Player — but you’ll have to go through a lot of suggestive advertising and run-around to find a legitimate copy of it, plus have to deal with a billion different features you’re likely [...]
