Reply to The Morning After the Morning After Pill... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

She would do that because when the controversy over RU486 started in the media, it WAS referred to as "The morning after pill". Now if she doesnt keep up with how nicknames are skirted around with new pills I dont blame her. When something is introduced under a certain label in our media oriented society, its good to pick up on it and maintain the name because thats how language works. Today I know you as Fred, tomorrow your Bob? How the hell am I supposed to talk about you behind your back if y

Draginol: This made my week. It's gray and overcast down here in Texas, kinda depressing. No wind. No rain. No sun. Just. Gray. All day. All the time. So this was a nice bit of sunshine. THanks!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Brad. He sent me a WinCustomize t-shirt as thanks for a series of articles I wrote last week about DesktopX and Windowblinds. Here's the goods: So I'm an 'official' skinner now. Now if I can just finish up this icon I'm working on for a DesktopX widget... Thanks Stardock!

Republican myths REVEALED! in Humor JoeUser Forums

It is time for the truth. What do Republicans actually stand for? What is our true agenda? Now all may be revealed... By the ancient calander of our true masters, this day of Quiahuitl is the day of fate, within the month Acatl, or transition, in this year of Calli. Yes, today is the day of fateful transition for the west. Let all be revealed! As Republicans, we belong to a general sub-order of the Secret Brotherhood. Break down the name, and the derivative latin is there

Texas, be a trooper for those boys. My dad was gone alot when I was growing up. He was a Detective, before investigating homocides was the coolest thing to make a prime time series about. The reality of being a Detective is that you are gone for days at a time from your family, sometimes weeks if there is a serious stake out. Or the constant training. Oh, that and the one you love gets shot at every so often. My Dads been knifed and shot a few times. So my Mother, brother and me s

And yes, my wife, women will get buff male hunks pandering widgets, probably in magazines like Fitness and Good Housekeeping. I can see it now, The Bridges of Madison County 2 DesktopX widget, lets women across the globe talk to each other about how moved they were. Somebody shoot me, please.

Am I looking for a job at Stardock? No. I don't know what I would have to offer them other than a few outrageous comments every few weeks. I don't code. I rarely skin (my collection of skins over the past five years probably wouldn't take up the front page of WinCustomize). The areas I do excel at Stardock already has covered. And I have a pretty good job here at home. I work 24/7/365, but I love what I do. That's not to say that if Brad ever called me up and said, "Zombie, I

Article 2 update: IF semi-transparency is added to Windowblinds, the obvious default skin should be Windowblinds CORE. And yeah, it should match the very slick, semi-transparent look of the Core DesktopX widgets. Perhaps people that purchase the DesktopX standard edition for $10 could get a special installer that gives them the semi-transparent WB CORE skin? Just thinking... always thinking about this stuff. Wow, wish my graphics skills were less technical and more geared towards sk

Well, I have to say I'm somewhat surprised to have these featured. Glad, but surprised. When reading these articles everyone needs to know that I was a.) Doing it between projects and b.) coming off of a nasty flu. No spell checks were run (obviously), as I thought they were going to sit on my blog site and accumilate a few points. That having been said, I believe in everything I wrote in this series. I really do think these visions I have for the future of DesktopX are possible. B

Reply to What's the deal with this religion thing anyway? in Religion JoeUser Forums

Well, a few years ago I would have found it hard to believe as well. The Universal Church held little appeal to me with my more popularized, Americanized understanding of it. I'm not even certain many Catholics today understand the rhyme and reason behind their religion, which is very sad. Despite the evil that men do in the name of God, I think we must look to the root of a given religion to see what it is actually about. A few men doing unspeakable things should not undermine 2000 yea

I think I am "spot-on" with alot of what I've written in this series. Some of it may be a pipe dream, like the DesktopX TV commercials. But on the other hand, I've seen, from the outside, a small company of coders grow powerful enough to make Microsoft stand up and change the very look and feel of their core Operating System. If they can do that, they can do pretty much anything.

Bosonic string theories are 26-dimensional, superstring and M-theories involve 10 or 11 dimensions. I'm rooting for Bosonic string theory, but hedging my bets with superstring in conversations involving people that refer to everything in science as theory. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0
