I'm honestly kind of surprised that Virginia is one of the ones in the final two..
She wins or almost wins the challenges constantly, but such a screw-up on the hot-lines..
I personally like heather more, but I suppose if Virginia can pull it together in the kitchen she'd be the stronger one. She has more creativity, and that's really the key to having a succesfull resturaunt, having dishes that are your own that people can only get there.
Yeah.. Hell's Kitchen is my guilty little reality show pleasure.

I agree with Bubsa, these things are only wothy of being posted on blogs not spamming up the off topic forums.
Agreed..
Especially stupid-arse tests like these.
There are far better personality tests out there.. This one is bad, even as far as internet tests are concerned.

it was quite interesting. Didn't seem to mean anything though
What do you mean? It means everything. It actualy covered the very fabric of our existance very concisely.
Maybe you just didn't understand it?

Coincidence. It's simply the power of suggestion.
That isn't to say that the mayans weren't more advanced than we give them credit for. A lot of ancient civilizations were smarter than we in many ways, just not as "technologically advanced".

Very intriguing. Of course it's all very theoretical, especially once you hit the 7th dimension.
We have no plausible way at the moment, as far as I know, to test whether or not there are or aren't other infinities.
I really need to start reading up on the string theory...

The cool thing about any of the State Universities in Iowa (ISU, UofI, etc), is that they're actually required by law to admit you if you're in at least the top half of your class.
Or at least that's what my counsellors told me. You may want to check, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was still true.

Better mention now that Australia doesn't actually exist. The entire place is a holographic image projected from a single pontoon in the middle of the ocean. And we brainwash anyone who gets to close so they think they really did come to / saw this "country".
Exactly. And the hole in the ozone layer there doesn't exist.. it's just to help deter all of the pasty old people who would be too nosey.
Hold on... the government can convince billions of people that something happened that never did - but they have no way of tracking you down for admitting you were part of a top secret government research agency? Keep these laughs coming man!It's far too easy to convince the willing. The American Public will generally beleive anything you tell them if you put enough effort into what it is that you show them. Because as we all know, People as a whole are both gullible and stupid. You get enough to beleive, and they get together to get others to beleive. Chain reaction for the most part.
O! The irony, the irony! (That's an ektofenetic O, if you don't know what that is, RTFM)
People as a whole are gullible and stupid, but smart-ish people are even more gullible, because they'll beleive anything different from the norm just so they can appear to be smarter.. or let themselves think they're appearing to be smarter. What they don't know is that stupid people are too stupid to care, and the people smarter than them know that they're BSing.

You can set-up a server on your own machine with either Ventrilo or Teamspeak.
I personally prefer ventrilo most of the time, because it's smaller, but has more features that I'm interested in.
Unfortunately, though, the free version of the ventrilo server only allows a maximum of 8 people including yourself.
So, if you're looking for something to host more people, try Teamspeak.
As for the connection problems.. are you behind a router?
If so, you'll have to add an exception to your firewall, and do a bit of port-forwarding. Google port-forwarding and you should find all you need.

a 5-6 year old emo, whats the world coming too :wink:I went through a very philosophical period when I was five or six. I tried figuring out the meaning of life and my conclusions scared the life out of me. I realised that after we died, anything we'ed done would not affect us and that life really had no long term meaning. I wondered why people bother living at all and why people don't just end it.I was also terrified hoovers, the washing machine, cows, farmers and people with beards.
Although it is correct in the point that it has no meaning. The only meaning is just to enjoy the ride :D
Emo's aren't that deep. Being existentialist/nihilist isn't emo.

It was at 300 reviews when it was posted it on Fark, and if you read them, you'll see they're pretty much all jokes.

So good for him.
Unfortunately (for Rob Schneider), to do his (Rob Schneider's) absolutely abysmal acting skills, this is also good for Mel Gibson, as he will never have to deal with this sub-par actor bringing down a future movie that Mr. Gibson will be producing :P
"Ooh boo hoo, somebody badmouthed Mel Christian Hero Gibson, I'm gonna badmouth his acting skills now!!!1"

Tried a different monitor/that monitor on a different computer?
That would let you know whether it's the monitor's problem or your video card being bunked.
If you don't have another computer/monitor handy, try the following:
Reset your monitor to factory settings (there should be an option in the OSD)
If you feel comfortable with it, open up your computer and check to make sure your video card is firmly seated. It's vaguely possible it could've jimmied itself out over time.

But now we're stuck. We're inside and we can't get out without looking like complete idiots and admitting we wasted billions of dollars.
No, the only reason we're not pulling out now is because Bush is a stubborn Knob who won't admit defeat even though it's jumping around in front of him on stilts and wearing a pink tutu. We're not fooling anyone. Everyone knows we lost billions of dollars, everyone thinks we're idiots.
We can pull out and save face. I'm trusting the next administration to do that for us.

I know this from some news a few months back that congress had to increase the national defecieit cap from something like 8.3 tril to 8.9ish tril or we would reach that limit within a few days.
*shrug* It was a reputable news source, and several others were carrying the story at the time.

Yeah.. sorry..
At any rate, it wasn't Saddam or Iraq.

Both. Creative, because they thought about saying words without using much lettles, but dumb because of being lazy and using them when they have good working fingers which they can use and make their sentences more understandable. Actually, scratch the first, I'm staying with dumb.
Never have so many words been used to say so very little.
People are just stupid and/or lazy.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? :| :oops:
Then again, that is what I think of it, and the full reason of why I think of it that way. Maybe I should change the scratch part and instead say that I'm more inclined to it being dumb? I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. :(
Just ignore me. I'm unneccesarily cynical oftentimes.

Here's a good way to cut spending!
1. Pull out of Iraq. Admit defeat. We will *never* win there. Ever. We've trained police and military, now we leave. Also, we're spending a butt-load of money just to rebuild crap after we BLEW IT UP WITH A FEW $80,000 BOMBS, loaded up on a $5.2 MILLION DOLLAR JET.
That's a terrible idea. Leave after we wasted all of this money and let Iraq enter another civil war? I thought we were supposed to care about the innocent people over there? Many of them will die unless we do something to prevent tyranny. I'm not saying that entering Iraq was a good idea, but at the time, I think Bush made the right decision.
Hahahaha...haha..haha.. Oh.. you were.. serious?
Iraq is in a civil war. There is no longer any full-out tyranny in Iraq other than the one we are imposing.
Saddam was keeping peace between dozens of smaller groups, because they knew if they did anything, he would kick their [wagon].
Not that his peace was a good peace, but it was still peace, to a certain degree.
Now that we've taken him out (which was a good thing, in the long run), all of those smaller groups are trying to fight for control.
Also, when you say Bush made the right decision, but you disagree with entering Iraq, you realize you're blatantly contradicting yourself, right?
Look at the times: America had just endured the first attack from on outside country on their soil since the Revolutionary War. We're mad and the public needs to blame somebody instead of sitting on our rears wanting the UN to do something. Secondly, we knew that Saddam had kicked out UN nuclear checks to see if he was building nuclear bombs that could hit Israel. We had no evidence besides that, which seems pretty incriminating in and of itself.Um, are we forgetting the first attack on the world trade center? And Pearl fing Harbor for god's sake?! To name a couple.
It was certainly the most greivous attack since Pearl Harbor though.
However, you do realize that it was this little thing called the Taliban that orchestrated the attacks on the world trade center, right?
(The following is more speculative)
Once Bush realized things were going nowhere in Afghanistan, instead of doing the smart thing, and cutting down troops to just maintain a watch watch for Osama/The Taliban, Bush decided to way overreach and go into Iraq for some trumped-up WMD accusations. (Not entirely trumped-up, but pretty damn).
Now we're stuck smack-dab in the middle of a war that's being fought not only against us but against itself, and that, at least under the current administration, is doing more or lsess squat.

Ah yes... I've heard much talk about this on TV. All I can really say is that it scares me.
It seems as though you get scared a lot (or at least do those smilies...). Why are you so scared about the deficit?
If you're not even a little bit scared, you don't know the full brevity of the situation.
Let me reiterate. We have at least a $9 trillion defeciet. That's not just goint to go away. Each and every american citizen is going to have to pay, most likely through the nose.
Like I said, if you're not scared, you should be.

I bet we could cut billions a year by removing the top-heavy-ness from government-run organizations. Including education. (Don't get me wrong, though, education as a whole needs more funding.)

Less ambitious...relationship-wise, I meant. Kind of relates to my 'less experienced' comment.
Yes, because a one-night-stand is a much higher ambition than a lifelong loving relationship.
It's delusional to think all girls are after a lifelong loving relationship.
Didn't say they were. I meant exactly what I said.
A lifelong loving relationship are a much higher ambition than going to a club and banging some chick you just met.
It takes work, and dedication, but it's worth it. Or so everyone I know who's been married 20+ years tells me.

To be fair to tomdavies90, many of the Bond Gadgets did actually work in real life.
Very true, I was just pointing out that just because something exists in a movie doesn't mean jack...
saddest video I have ever seen

The thing that struck me more than anything is that the guys were just sitting there, [bleep]ing at some lady on the phone who could do nothing.
It'd be one thing if they were trapped and couldn't go anywhere or anything, but to just lay there and do jack..
I mean, if that was me, and I really wanted to live, I would rip apart chairs, wrap the leather/whatever I had around myself, and run through the bloody fire, or do something.
I could insert a quote from the guy from Saw here, but, that may be a bit much. Not that I want to start killing people, but I do beleive that there are some who don't appreciate life enough.
