I don't understand why
Microsoft does not consider a domain username and password to be 'sensitive data'.
Give someone a tool...
...and the first thing they do is figure out how to work sex into it.
Although I hope this isn't true. I'd hate to miss Spore due to some crap DRM. As if there's any other kind, but that's real crap.

So maybe I'll try this again
I was reading some of the comments at this post at Feministe, which led me to this post on the same topic. And it got me to thinking about three words\phrases I've tried to clean out of my vocabulary.
I like to curse. I like to curse a lot. My favorite word is fuck. And I use hell, goddammit, and Jesus Christ a lot.
And I've been an atheist for nearly 20 years.
Oh sure, I was raised Christian. And for the first part of my life, I was Christian. That's when the word got there hooks into me. They were taboo. And I vividly remember giving up cursing when I was in the sixth grade. I felt bad, you know, using the name of our saviour in vain (that lasted about six months). But those words, they are still a part of my psyche.
I don't want to give them up because they may affend Christians - while I don't go out of my way to offend them, I'm not concerned if I do. It's just funny when my wife (also an atheist, but not really raised Christian) responds with "Who damn it?"
Alas, Ceiling Cat damn it just doesn't have the same ring. And it's quite a mouthful.

The demon wore Levis
This is fun. I especially like this quote: I said, 'I'm glad I serve a God who can work through my pants.
So, is that God in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
An aside, who's the dimwit who thinks it's a good idea to center all text?

Eddie is teh win
So, we just got the Eddie Izzard DVDs Definite Article, Glorious, and Unrepeatable. Watched Glorious.
No matter how many times I see this stuff, it's funny as hell.
Two strange things. One, there is a commentary available, at least on Glorious. A commentary on a stand up routine? That could be interesting.
Two, there is an option to bleep. I'm guessing that if you're going to be offended by the occasional fuck, some of the material isn't going to sit well with you.
What's next, bleeping Bill Hicks?
