Drivers of rice burners are known as "ricers" or "rice boys". These terms are often used as a pejorative or ethnic slur.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you really think I meant it that way?

― Reviewer: Sir Potomus (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (ex machina), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:54 (nineteen years ago) link

No, that would've been pretty out of the blue. It was just funny that your "I wasn't using an ethnic slur!" link was "hello, I am an ethnic slur."

I assumed that it wouldn't say that it was a slur and jsut get at the real meaning behind the word.

Jon, "DUMB FUCK?"

Also, so you're asking me if I am a car?

It's a fair question, Spencer, you're pretty sleek.

I'm totally shopping for a new PC, but have to pay extra to get a case that's *not* all alien looking.

I wonder why so many of the images upthread don't work today???

Spencer, that car almost made me hork up a lung.

Back to point: Winamp has got one killer feature that I've yet to find/make happen in iTunes: it can kill the silence between mp3s. I've tried using the iTunes crossfader set to 0 seconds to achieve this but it doesn't work...

i mean if you really like the look of iTunes...

i like Winamp - the streaming audio/video channel selection could be better tho, and the library doesn't recognise all mp3s for some reason. who gives a shit about how bad 95% of the skins are? BITTER LINUX NERDS THAT'S WHO

Apropos of nothing, I just discovered the silver scheme for Windows XP and I am now in love.

here is a gem from livejournal:

as i'm grading assignments for [REDACTED] i come across a pile of late assignments from a boy who's never submitted anything before last week. all the assignments are perfect and commented like whoa and i note on his gradesheets 'beautiful comments!' goldstar smileyface A+
then i notice one of his class headers has another student's name and section number and is dated 2 weeks before any of the other classes are dated. and in fact, all of the late assignments this boy magically submitted now are styled identically to the class submitted with the erroneous header info.
instead of sending him a response of a couple of fat 0s and an F in the course as dictated by the [REDACTED] academic honesty policy, i decide to search thefacebook so i could have a snarl or two at the cheater and accomplice. expecting ricers or frat pledges that list 'beer, chicks' as their interests, i am surprised to find perfectly normal, adequately acceptable, friendly, intelligent looking, non-gross, indie rockers. sigh. the boy gets his 10% off, which leaves him with an 88. and i will probably tell the incredibly friendly push-over professor (who brings pizza and fresh fruit into the i.t. programming labs for her class) that she might want to check this out. maybe.
:(

wake up jon, this is not real.

there's no such thing as a perfectly normal, adequately acceptable, friendly, intelligent looking, non-gross, indie rocker.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 31 January 2005 06:00 (nineteen years ago) link

no shit, MY EX GIRLFRIEND POSTED THAT.

― Reviewer: Sir Potomus (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (ex machina), Monday, 31 January 2005 06:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I think she probably used to lurk on Sinister! When we were dating, she had "his" and "hers" Belle and Sebastian mugs.

― Reviewer: Sir Potomus (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (ex machina), Monday, 31 January 2005 06:20 (nineteen years ago) link

aw cute

i'm making belle and sebastian skins for my winamp.

I read the phrase "belle and sebastian skins" and now I want to kill myself.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 January 2005 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I really, really like the way the Winamp skin I use looks:

If you look hard enough, you can find awesome skins, y'know.

i haven't used it in a long time but i remember qcd being about the only player that would play blended cd tracks without having a little pause between

QCD is fantastic. Also, everyone knows the slang definition for "skins", yes?

winamp shits all over anything else. i used itunes for a while but found it to be slow, buggy and a major hassle to use: either you let it choose what to play or you're in for major effort 24/7. any features itunes users claim it has over winamp (smart playlists) can be found in the medialibrary. and as for good skins, they're in abundance.

i guess this comes next,

wow nice skin dee!

It's a great one, isn't it? Credit whomever went by "mookid loves Bowie" on the Winamp site for the skin. All I had to do was download it. :)

It doesn't sync with my iPod, so...

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 03:05 (nineteen years ago) link

FWIW I have no use for Winamp and didn't when I had a PC--but iTunes is slow and I'm ON A FUCKING MAC. Spencer is right--there's a longer lag for it to start up on my Mac then there was with my old MP3 equip on my old computer. iTunes is also a pile of bullshit on my computer for about 8,000 other reasons but whatever, I'm the idiot who purchased a Mac which apparently has a shitty music program and the world's flimsiest keyboard.

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 03:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Don't get me wrong, I really like my Mac in all other aspects besides the programs that came with the fucking thing: Appleworks is incompatible with about 800 things I need it to do, iTunes has completely been shit for my purposes (and I've needed to reinstall it twice to get it to fucking burn CDs), iPhoto is one of the most useless photo programs ever created, etc etc. Everything I've put on this computer myself is fantastic though.

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 03:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I hear that the new version of iPhoto should be somewhat improved. I've not had huge problems with iTunes, except that I had to retag and refile all of my mp3s to get them to behave nicely with my system of organisation.

That said, iCal and Address Book kick ass!

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 03:48 (nineteen years ago) link

iTunes won't even let me retag my MP3s consistently. It wil lrevert back to the original "messed up" tagging as soon as I play it or burn it. I've tried every single thing that has been suggested to me to do, there are no permissions issues on the computer or anything, it just won't fix. At least the burning issue fixxed though, I can live with the bad MP3 tags, but the refusing to burn thing was beyond the pale. It burned at like 2x speed and the CDs were unplayable. It kind of stunned me actually. I really, really dislike iTunes to be honest; I hate the fact that their default is to take all your MP3s and then try to duplicate them to "add to the iTunes directory" or however they explain it. It's completely backwards Windowsesque shit if you ask me. I made the mistake when I reloaded iTunes to not double check preferences BEFORE I tried to readd by 27gigs or so of MP3s and I thought my computer was going to self-destruct.

iPhoto annoys me because it has absolutely no options to it besides "red eye reduction" (which makes people look like zombies) and cropping but whatever, yo uget what you pay for.

Yeah, I hate that too. Still, if you don't own an iPod (or even if you do) there are alterantives.

― Andrew (enneff), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 04:24 (nineteen years ago) link

you get what you pay for

What kind of Mac is this? iMac? G4? How much memory?
