How often does this happen? Hopefully not too often.

Newer is not always better
From Metafilter:
OldVersion.com bears the motto “newer is not always better.” This virtual graveyard/archive of older windows programs lets you stick to versions of programs before they had advertising, before they had Digital Restrictions Management, and even those that no longer exist *sniff*. I can tell sites like this will be coming in handy as we enter a Matrix-like world of advertising, spy-ware, and DRM baked into everything, while a holdout of luddites stick with 0.9 betas of their favorite programs.
Laser/Needle-less Turntable
OK, my parents have a bunch of old records and record-player that has impossible-to-find needles. If I had the extra $9,500 (plus shipping) I’d buy them this. Or not.
Klu Klux Klan supports all-male Masters Golf Club
Well of course they would, the morons. Full Story.
Update: No more comments are allowed on this entry because of the idiots trolls and the morons who think this is their forum to spout off hate speech. I don’t mind the occassional swear word now and again, but keep it in context and sort of tasteful. The offending comments have all been deleted, discussion closed.
Porn music collection
In case you ever wanted to make a home-made nudie flick, make sure you have the right music.
Nevada considers taxing hookers
It’s amazing that the world’s oldest profession would be the first that have to pay an income tax in Nevada (as the state doesn’t have an income tax). Full story.
Dave’s Web of lies
This site is a riot. It was last updated on December 19 2007, established in 1873. Some of the random lies:
* Women are twelve times more radioactive than men
* The hole in the ozone layer is caused by tiny elves, who mine the ozone and use it to manufacture unidentifiable objects of no discernible purpose.
* Arse biscuits are the most popular snack in Northern France.
What kind of racist are you?
(Note: The questions on this odd little quiz are written so that you’re a racist, no matter what. So have a sense of humor.)
Orchestra dons Kiss makeup for concert
Why don’t we get to do cool stuff like this in the groups I play in? Hell, if I dance around a bit while playing my less-than-fun parts, I get in trouble. Of course, we never play with Kiss, either.
