| Who's your daddy? Gojira! | |||||
| By Rolo | |||||
| It seemed that when you go visit Tokyo, and you're radioactive; you are just compelled to trash stuff, nibble on trains, eat power plants and smash the local military. It was like some sort of like tradition. | |||||
| |||||
| Whooosh | |||||
| By REVSCRJ | |||||
| Ever get a corporate job? The kind where laminates of condridictory or unenforcable, unfollowable policies line the break rooms? Where the benefits are good, but the suck is on your soul? It's a whole other world. It all sanitary spray cans and toner in the air, burnt sugar sweet- solid as a plastic block for a 2 year old and half as respectful. | |||||

| Why guys don't call... | |||||
| By Davinder Sangha | |||||
| Why men don't call? This question is asked by thousand of women as they stand patiently by the phone waiting from a call from their respective partners. Well, from my personal perspective I believe it's an issue of commitment. Once they have passed the first stage of being all lovey-dovey with us, they see no more need of picking up the phone and calling us like they used to. | |||||
| |||||
| Why I hate being Fifteen | |||||
| By Sarah McCulloch | |||||
| If I want to be shot at and blown up, why should I have to wait 12 months to do so in the army, when all I have to do is walk in Manchester at night? Which is why it's so annoying being 15, to be so close and yet so far. Which would you rather do, legally watch the Matrix, or legally shag? My point exactly. | |||||
| |||||
| Why I hate being Fourteen | |||||
| By Sarah McCulloch | |||||
| Being fourteen-years of age really sucks. Let me tell you why. But beware: if you don't want to hear a rambling tale by a VERY pissed off teenager with a severe attitude problem, skip this article. | |||||
| |||||
| Why I hate being Sixteen | |||||
| By Sarah McCulloch | |||||
| It feels like I can have sex, but not watch it, I can kill myself with lung cancer, but not liver failure, fight and die for my country but not vote in it, and open an ISA, but not have a credit card to put money in it. | |||||
| |||||
| Why I Hate Computers | |||||
| By John Iadipaolo | |||||
| I was that stuck-up computer tech. I figured I knew enough about my machine not only to keep it up and running, but also to correct any mistakes I might (rarely) make. I had little sympathy for people with driver problems; people whose machines froze; people who resorted to tech support. Looking down, from my perch atop the lofty tower of the Computer Literate, I chuckled at the expense of the masses. | |||||
| |||||
| why icq is the devil | |||||
| By morbus | |||||
| I like new technology and new ideas. I like to be connected to people, not white screens with words on them. I like saying people's names so much that it makes them uncomfortable. I like to be able to think that I am not a computer screen, and rather just someone looking into a big TV. That's part of the reason we do Devil Shat: to be able to communicate our ideas and opinions to a bunch of other people, and to get their responses back. | |||||

| Why the Internet Sucks | |||||
| By Lost Correspondent | |||||
| It’s one thing to lose your girl to a six-foot-four former quarterback with blue eyes and curly hair but you must be some kind of idiot to lose her to some faceless dude on the Net. On that note, I will leave out any personal anecdotes on this point. | |||||
| |||||
| Why there will never be a Web 3.0 | |||||
| By Colin Douma | |||||
| To suggest that your company offers or sells "Web 2.0" products or services may be technically true, but it sounds terribly naïve. In effect, you're simply announcing that you build web properties that work. Shouldn't that be a given? Could you imagine a car dealer selling a car by saying, "now with engines that run!" | |||||
| |||||
| Why they don't call | |||||
| By REVSCRJ | |||||
| So I am sitting here in front of the computer staring at the screen thinking things like: "Because they have the attention spans of a fruit fly." |

| Why We Watch Windows | |||||
| By Jakob Straub | |||||
| "Look, a house all built of windows!" my younger sister once exclaimed when she saw her first glasshouse. From my own childhood, I remember a TV cartoon series with a talking house that blinked its window-eyes. The windows are the eyes of a building. Ever since man has started building houses, he puts in windows. Why? | |||||

| Why women are always late | |||||
| By Leandro Asnaghi-Nicastro | |||||
| It is true that guys are messy (my room is the living proof of that), disorganized (ie. get ready for a trip 5 minutes before they go) and to often lose things (keys, glasses, the floppy disk my girlfriend gave me with the stories for CoN) but for sure we are (almost) never late. In fact I think that since a guy just puts on a pair of pants and a t-shirt that falls in the category a) looks fine and b) smells fine, he doesn't have to waste so much time in getting ready. | |||||

| Winamp's Third Party Skins | |||||
| By Leandro Nicastro | |||||
| The other day I was surfing the WinAmp site looking for some decent skins to give a more interesting look to the rather plain and boring looking programme. It’s quite amazing to see the collection of skins that are displayed on that site. | |||||
| |||||
| WinXP | |||||
| By Konrad The Bold | |||||
| I started out running Windows 98 and Debian Linux. I could play Counterstrike and browse the web, but it kept locking up. Strange, unpredictable lockups every few hours. It wasn't a software issue because it happened with any program. It wasn't a hardware issue because linux ran just fine. I decided to install Windows XP so that I could both play CounterStrike and have a stable system. | |||||

| Wired Women on the Bus | |||||
| By Leandro | |||||
| She seemed extraordinarely happy about this discovery. "It's the latest version, seven point zero" she confided to Stephanie, her friend, who didn't know what to say. She just smiled, with a lost look in her face. | |||||
| |||||
| Worked in a Photomat | |||||
| By Rev.Sean C. Rothstein-Jacobson | |||||
| The most distinct memory I have of that Photomat was that it was there I realized I had a scent that was distinctly my own. The place was so damn tiny that I'd fill it with this strange mix of cigarettes, coffee and me within seconds. I was 17 or so and spent my days teaching myself harmonica and writing. Self-digestion in a very small box, stewing in my own scent, windows everywhere. Funny. It was the first time I was paid to be creative. | |||||
| |||||
| Worked in a state park cafeteria line | |||||
| By REVSCRJ | |||||
| Crater Lake sits at the top of Mount Mazama and is roughly fifty miles from any population center, so basically the 120 or so employees were trapped in a strange microcosmic society. The cliques were all there, the socio-dynamics, the in-crowd and their infighting, all the accoutrements of your larger social orders but so small that the traits of it were like a Dick and Jane book for socialization. I was 18 and absolutely non-socialized. | |||||

| Would You Date Yourself If You Were Gay? | |||||
| By Jason MacIsaac | |||||
| The other day Leandro (yes the one that edits this magazine) and I were chatting. Initially we were talking about people we've dated when the topic turned to whether or not you would date yourself if you were gay. | |||||
| |||||
| Writing About Writing, Which I Never Do | |||||
| By Jason MacIsaac | |||||
| There's this thing called "The idealized self." That's the theory that the main character of the story is the author, with a few traits he or she would like to possess added in. That's why I smirk when I see a novel about a writer who solves mysteries, is loved and cherished by the entire town, and gets laid a lot. Parade your subconscious naked by the bay window why don't you? | |||||
