He means that the vids used to take a while to load and then would stop and buffer several times regardless of video length, and now they take less time to load and rarely ever have to stop to rebuffer.
that's also a language I can understand!

that really interrupts my flow. This is 2012, I should be able to watch porn whenever I want, at the speed I want
Blame big industry and the government, everyone else does.
Well, I stand corrected then. It really looks like a not even particularly high res videogame in the still they posted.The dye job debuted in a game a couple of days ago. Unless 2k Sports managed to put out a Carlos Boozer hair update, I'm going to assume it's a shitty tv pic.
-----And it looks like it was from Sunday's Celtics game.
That's terrifying.
The Animaniacs did it first.
No, frankfurters and kraut only.
I just got an email at work from one of the automated security groups telling me that my computer is horribly out of compliance on three points. The first is that my version of Office 2003 is horribly outdated (I'm running Office 2010, as is mandated by IT) there aren't even bits and pieces of 2003 left hiding in my system files because this was a fresh install. The second is that my VB 2003 run time libraries are horribly outdated (again, I'm running the most recent version of the VB run times, as mandated by IT). The third is that my version of Firefox is non-compliant because it's pre-version 5 (I'm running the latest version). Looks like somebody forgot to update their automated compliance scanner code. Good thing I don't work for a major tech company, or that'd be embarrassing.
I just watched two completely different people be complete morons in their cars, in the space of an hour, within four blocks of each other. The first one, someone driving a smaller sedan (mid-to-late 90's Corolla or similar) was turning left off of a 5 lane road (two lanes each direction plus one suicide lane) onto a two lane road (which at that point was barely three lanes only because they've squeezed a right turn lane in at the intersection). She had a green light, but not a protected green turn light (i.e. she needed to yield to oncoming traffic). The speed limit on the street she was turning off of is 35, and people have been known to push that up to 40 - 45, even though that spot is right in front of an elementary school (there's no school speed limit zone there because they built a pedestrian overpass or some such bullshit). Traffic in the uphill lane closest to her as she was headed down the hill was backed up from the intersection further uphill from the one she was turning at to beyond the intersection she was at. Traffic in the right-most uphill lane, was not. She attempted to turn anyway, and was hit by a small pickup (Chevy S10 or similar) hard enough to push her car out of the path of the lane that she was turning into and into the path of the left-most oncoming lane, where she hit the driver of the vehicle that was first in line at the red light head-on.
The second happened in our apartment complex "driveway." This is one of those driveways for apartment complexes that're more like two-lane roads with head-in parking on either side. This driver always, every single time they park their car, backs into an extremely clearly marked head-in only parking spot. We're talkin' they back in to the spot where the sign that says "head in parking only" is hanging. I've known this for months, but what I didn't know is that they apparently routinely pull into the driveway normally, driving mostly down the middle of the traffic path, pull up to the mail boxes, get their mail, and then back down the driveway (about 250 - 300 feet) weaving back and forth like drunks (I'm not ruling out the possibility that they may actually be drunk), until they get to a parking spot that's empty and then whip around (still backwards) into the parking spot "rubbing" the two cars on either side of the parking spot in the process. Rubbing in the Tom Cruise, Days of Thunder, rubbing is racing sense of the word. I don't think they've ever managed to dent anyone's car, but they've certainly managed to trade paint with a few, my wife's included on two separate occasions.

Just tried to take my hoodie off at work, then remembered I was to lazy to put a shirt on underneath. Ughh...still too (or is it to?..zzzz) tired to function this morning....zzzz
When Jet was about 6 months old I was giving him a bath in preparation for going to my parents house. He got my shirt wet so I took it off to let it dry. We finished the bath, got him dressed, tossed on our winter coats and headed up the road to my parents house.
It unzipped my coat...and discovered I had never put my shirt back on. All my relatives were there.
Go me.

I don't know if you saw it when I posted it in the funny pictures thread, but apparently that excuse is even good enough for the IRS.

In the market for a new supervillain lair?
I saw this really young woman at a restaurant earlier. Cute redhead, kinda nerdy, wearing a gray argyle sweater, school-girl skirt, and BIG FURRY BOOTS!
I so wanted to walk up to her and day "You wear those boots like a TRUE NORD"

I'd have hugged that Totoro and said "Fly me away to the Cat-bus!"No salsa!!!!
Because I'm easily twice her age.
If I said such random pop culture references to 19 year old women, I'd probably end up on "forced" therapy.

I don't get that reference...
If you meant TRUE NORD, that is a race in Skyrim. Who are based on Dark Ages Vikings. If you are playing a Nord, random people will walk up to you and say things like...
"You carry that axe, like a TRUE NORD!"
"You wear that armor, like a TRUE NORD!"

Hay, their was no thing wrong about that grammer.
No salsa for you!
One of those is soon to be less abandoned......
Really? I always pegged you as the type to take over Heritage USA and turn it into a 2300 acre " fun " land.
