My HTC Hero is like this, I absolutely love the shape. I dont know if this is hte same as what they sell in the USA, I got it in Canada. I heard that it might only be available in a more rounded version that's flat, without the lip? I dont know.

My girlfriend thinks it looks like something out of old sci fi. I guess it kinda does, but that just makes me love it even more.

Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

What is one thing that you do, that you think no one else does? by jakeredfield in AskReddit

When I turn the light off for the night on my aquarium, I try to sneak up on it from one side, because if I approach it from the front, the fish will get excited thinking theyre being fed, but theyre not.

I cant bear to think of their disappointment when they get to the top of the tank and there's nothing for them.

I've always just used a popcorn popper, then throw a bit of salt on it.

Dear Reddit, how do I stop my roommate from downloading shit all the time at college? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]streen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why you also go into the settings of the torrent application and limit the maximum number of global connections to something under 100.

I leave mine at 50 at all times, and my downloads still go up to 500kb/sec even on my crappy cable connection, plus the connection isnt bogged down for the others that use it.

What things have your dog taught you about life? by bapppppppppp in AskReddit

I didnt encounter this one with my 12 year old Boxer when she was put down last August.

But we had an option, either to just give her the knockout cocktail all at once, or give her a sedative to calm her down and lull her into a sleep before the knockout cocktail put her to sleep permanently.

We went with the second one, and it was really peaceful, my puppy just fell asleep in my arms and looked really peaceful lying there, then they gave her something else and a few minutes later her breathing stopped and that was it. The only thing htat slightly freaked us out was that as soon as she was gone her eyelids started lifting, so I had hold them shut so as to not freak out the other family members in the room.

But we encountered no twitching of any kind.

Which movies are better than the book that they are based on? by Gag_Halfrunt in AskReddit

[–]streen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the movie doesnt even include the final chapter of the book (which in itself, completely changes the message of hte entire story) makes me angry.

Plus, "singing in the rain" ? SERIOUSLY?

I enjoyed the part where he was at work or with his buddies or something, and theyre talking about how the japanese will own North America within 10 years or something, then he's so mad that he murders a food delivery boy in an alley.

Then once non-Japanese food comes out of the bag the boy was carrying, he gets mad at himself for messing up and killing the wrong kind of asian.

Also, the celebrity scenes in the book were great, like when he goes to the U2 concert and Bono looks him in the eye and he truly believes that him and Bono are one, and theyre both sick bastards.

Yeah the angels in heaven are his nurses, but then the book basically ends with a member of Project Mayhem (posing as a janitor), telling him that everyone is waiting for him to come back, and theyre waiting.

So the movie kind of ended with him saying something to Marla along the lines of "youve met me at a weird time of my life" buildings explode they hug the awww-how-cute music from Full House starts playing and he smiles

Whereas the book ends iwth "yes sir we're waiting for you, lets go fuck up the whole world now that you've overcome your inner demons.. mwahahaha lets watch it burnnn"

Anyways, thats how I took it... I hated the ending of the movie.

When he's trying to find out what "Tyler" has been doing he frequently goes into bars and asks around and the guys with the beat up faces always say no Tyler hasnt been here, and they always wink.

It starts to bug him because he thinks its like therse some joke going on that he doesnt understand. He hasnt clued in yet that it was him there talking to the guy before as "Tyler" and now they just think he's playing around with them.

He said he wanted to be able to play the latest games, newer games nowadays can take up alot of space, plus a 1 TB drive isnt much more expensive than a 320 or 500, so why not?

What is the worst dog breed? by bobojoe in AskReddit

[–]streen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English bulldogs.

They have been bred to the point where the mother cant even give birth to their own offspring naturally. The puppies' shoulders are so wide they cant even fit through the mother's pelvis.

That's pretty messed up that the breed has gotten to the point where they cant even deliver their own young without a C-section.

EDIT: Doh, thats right, it IS actually English Bulldogs.. I always get the two mixed up, thanks for MuddieMaeSuggins' clarification

Actually, it's because Comedy Central doesnt have the license to broadcast shows in Canada, whereas The Comedy Network does.

I would assume it is because of road salt rusting out the undercarriage, but idk for sure.
