I gotta love the love that people feel for their fellow man, regardles of their race (well, maybe not race) creed (uhm.... ) sexual orientation (maybe not..) or religion. Here's some amusing hatemail that the Flying Spaghetti Monster has recieved.

hey,u know what none cares Wat u think about God's sense of humor,u know what u may not be christian but,there's lot of people out there trying 2 seek God n they don't need any info, about God by u so,i think it will b better if u stop n start acting more like a christian even if u r not .

Nothing says amusing more than a 1965 Anti-Pornography Propaganda film. Some great quotes....

I'm sure everyone's seen these already on youtube or whatever, but here's a link to the page for the mac spoof commercials..... here's the networking (porn!) one.

Mmm.... midgets......

A bit long, but check out this video of An F-15 Flying On Only One Wing. Impressive machine the Eagle....

Out of 6G of ram, 2.7G is used with the rest holding cached data. No swap is used. Fred dug up this post indicating this might be a 2.6.15 bug on AMD64 and I'm wondering if just upgrading to 2.6.16 2.6.17 (which just went stable) would fix it all. Anyone have any similar experience? Can you lend a hand?

Read on for the nitty gritty details of the kernel dump.

Hehehehe... all you RPG geeks will appreciate this pic of a kid whose Dad is a Hard-Core Gamer!

Darren just threw this at me... Terminal Doom allows you to run classic doom 1.... on an arcade..... inside Doom 3! Similar yet different to Doom Classic.

So anyone out there seen Clerks 2 yet? I was just trolling through the Memorable Quotes from Clerks II (2006) on IMDB and laughing my ass off at some of them. Anyone seen this yet? As my buddy Dana says, being a Kevin Smith movie is enough to see it.... unfortunately last weekend was pretty busy, so it'll probably wait until next weekend.

Hehehe, someone made a great Funny Professional iPod Spoof. Introducing the iPod "Flea"! Whoho! Is this what WWDC holds for us?

Oh man... first Transformers and now this. What part of my childhood will hollywood not want to change/update/make better?

Pardon me, I need a cute break. join me... you know you want to....

Click on the bottom links on the above linked page to get another 30 or so pages of cute animals.

Darren pointed me to a trailer on youtube for Valve's Portal. Based on the titles of some of the other videos it's a mini-game from HL Episode 2. Anyone know more about this?

So PHP5 is stable and PHP4 is out of portage. Just a note to people with sites hosted off of ufies.org that I'm planning to upgrade to PHP 5.1.4 in the next while (say, by the end of the week). Please make sure your sites work with this version of PHP5 (as I understand it's pretty much compatible). Thanks.

Update Gregg of 21st Century Digital Boy points to the list of php5 incompatibilities. Thanks dude.

Great list of 75 Things We Love and Hate about Star Wars, via digg. Notice how all the 'great dialog' lines seem to come from the first three movies, and the 'horrible [dialog|ideas]' comes from the last (first) three? Hmm...

This post is in the "funny" cateory for everyone but the Steven in question. Man cheats, wife finds out, rents billboard. Blog post here.

Thanks Darren for the post :)

Update: People smell bullshit.

Random list of 25 Cinematic Cliches I Never Wanna See Again. Not hugely great, good for a Tuesday morning diversion though.

8. All computer keyboards or control panels have thousands of volts just underneath their surface, and their malfunctions are indicated by a puff of smoke and a cartoonish shower of sparks.

The ever popular Lewis Black from The Daily Show has another great (illegal, copyrighted, RIAA fodder) clip on YouTube where he rails on Harry Potter Camp.

Sometimes the most simple mashups are the best. Who'da'thunk that a simple meshing of David Bowie and a video of the Shuttle Launch would be so cool? Here's Discovery Oddity (David Bowie Meets the Discovery Launch).

After a lunchtime troll through digg's top videos I found this great clip from the daily show rightfully belongs on top. Watch to the end where Colbert just loses it in an inuendo filled report on the british royal family :)

Based on this video I'm convinced that all english language education in Japan is done by three girls in oversized bikinis repeating the words over and over again while making odd arm motions. (via digg).

Now this Quick Change Artists on America's Got Talent is amazing. Wish I knew how they did it, it'd make getting ready for work in the morning so much easier....

So this is an issue that I'm asking the web at large to help with. My Windows XPSP2 system refuses to save the refresh rate setting for my CRT monitor. It seems to happen in conjunction with a dual monitor setup. Basically what happens is I reboot, and when the system comes back up the refresh rate is back to 60hz (ie: painful on the eyes). I go into the monitor settings, and it says it's set to 85hz. I set it to 75, hit ok, the refresh changes and it's all ok. I reboot and it's back to the painful refresh rate, go into monitor settings and the settings say 75hz. Change it to 85 and hit ok, and it's back to ok.

Very strange. The setting is saved, but the refresh rate doesn't change. I have the same problem on a relatively new XP install on my work setup where I have an LCD and a CRT (the LCD works fine), and at home where I have two CRTs. At work the monitor is using the PnP drive and at home I have the correct NEC monitor drivers.

Anyone know about this or have any idea how to fix it? I don't reboot that often, so it's not a huge deal, it is however a pain in the butt...

Anything entitled Dear Crazy-As-Bat-Shit-Lady: The fridge doesn't come with a pedigree! just has to be funny :)

2. What part of 'buyer must pick up' in the ad was confusing to you? Yes, I have a vehicle. No, I don't want to haul your fridge all the way to East BumbleFuck on the hottest day of the year. No, I'm really really sure I don't want to do that. No, really. I'm sure.

Two bizzare and cool videos for you today.

• Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain plays Teen Spirit
  
• While My Guitar Gently Weeps on the Ukele.
  

OK, I know this is almost two years old now, but this Ctrl Alt Del strip on Doom 3 is a) funny b) how I felt playing the game.

BTW, Prey demo kicks ass.
