"Oh no!" "Oh no!" and then the cherryade jug guy jumps through the wall and goes "OH YEAH!" I'm not American so I don't get what the jug is but apparently its from an advert or something.. damn funny though.  Just had to get that off my chest..

Thanks for filling me in Watcher and sorry about my family guy addiction, its a problem.. but that Koolaid trailer you posted had me laughing my ass off all the way through it, its so deliciously random! Like this thread, so I'm going to have to add another random family guy moment:
Peter says,

"geez it feels like there's an accountant inside my head", at which point it zooms into his head where there are a couple of accountants working happilly away.

"Say Tony, do you ever wonder what's outside those walls?"

"Well that's some dangerous thinking there, maybe you should just get back to your accounting...

"ok.."

*They both continue clicking away on their machines.*

Didn't we used to have a family guy thread by the way, was that deleted?

haha well here are two more:


BEER PRAYER #1
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
(as I will be drunk)
At home, as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill upon us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager.
Forever and ever,
Pass the pretzels.



BEER PRAYER #2 (you couldn't have heard of this one before .... my friend wrote it!! :P )
Now I lay me down to sleep,
My 50 beers I pray I keep
Cold and iced and ready to drink.
I pray not to pour them down the sink.
I pray I find bottled beer
Far from the cans of yesteryear.

Now I lie back - not have to think
About the beers I had to drink.
Or as the room spins where I'm at,
I pray not to throw up on the cat.

I pray for time all for myself,
in silence so my head don't ralph.
To sleep in my nice soft bed
and pray not to hit my head.

Some silent moments for goodness sake,
I pray all night my head won't break.
And that I need not eat or drink,
For recovery is what I think.

Yes, now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my schlitz within me keep
But as I look around I surely know,
I threw it up an hour ago.

Next installment. Do you think Murphy is in the Matrix?  :p

Murphy's Laws of Combat:
If the enemy is in range, so are you.
 
Incoming fire has the right of way

Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire

There is always a way

The easy way is always mined

Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo

Professionals are predictable, it is the amateurs who are dangerous

The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: (a) when you are ready for them, (b) when you are not ready

for them

Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at

If you can't remember, the claymore is always pointed at you

The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack

A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down

If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush

Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you

Anything you can do can get you shot, including nothing

Make it tough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out

Never share a foxhole with one braver than yourself

If you are short of anything but the enemy you are in a combat zone

When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy

Never forget your weapon is made by the lowest bidder

I'm an I.T. Manager at a High School.  Although the Macs have a very trendy OS.  And some nice looking features.. They should curve thier creative juices towards making them more dependable.  Over the summer I and Grim Implemented 64 PC's and had zero failures... We had also recieved 4 G5's... And guess what out of only 4 machines 1 has massive motherboard and system cooling failures.  
Oh, and the kicker is, they now want us to pick up the shipping tab after they put a machine in a stainless steel quarter inch thick case, weighing in around 40 pounds.. (UPS Loves these).  And if we cannot find the little Macintosh wrapper it's an extra 50 bucks!!!.... So again, macs suck.. But thats just my biased opinion.
And in the spirit of the thread...

its a matter of choice really macs are better for jobs and movie editing because there interface is user friendly(at least i thinkl so) and pcs are better for games and crashing and makeing you spend lots of money on an upgrade. so if you want to make some money off of your purchase get a mac if you want to waste you lif playing games get a windows.

Mac is ok. Tehy are crap for anything but editing really, though.

I hate windows with a passion. XP was a step foward and back at the same time. Although yes, they were many new cool features, that you could just program on a linux.(with much time and patience, however). However, you have to go to start to shut er down, and I really hate taking two extra seconds to turn off my computer. However, p.c's are upgradeable to the max, you could technically keep the same computer for several years(ending up with no orignal parts or cables). It also has such a huge security problem, that not even S.P. 2(thanks god. you just became truly real for me) fixes correctly. Windows, equal "teh suXXors"

Linux....oh how can I describe the ways you are great? There are too many to name. Of course, it is open source. Meaning, in a few ords, linux is god. Plain and simple. Now if only developers would develop with linux in mind....

This post is to exlemplify the pointlessness the love that the american culture has for the word "of". "Of", among other words, is vastly overused. Imagine it this way, how many times, when we are describing something or someone do we use the word "of"? Honestly, we say shes "Captain of the Cheerleading Squad" or "Valedictorian of her class" or hes the "Quarterback of the football team". We can save time, paper, and word useage by simply saying "The Cheerleading Squad's Captain", "Her class's Valedictorian", or "The Football team's quarterback". See how we simplified the english language (me neither, but we did make those lines shorter (by 1 letter a piece))?

It's my firm belief that prepositions are a madman's work, trying to further complicate this already overly complex lanugage and make mastering it a great achivement.

Not really, but it is a fairly useless word.

South Africa: First find

The first hint that a modern, living coelacanth existed was when Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer, who was curator of a museum in East London, South Africa was inspecting local fish catches for unusual specimens in 1938. She was looking at the catch of a fishing boat that had been fishing for sharks near the Chalumna River, and saw an odd blue fish fin in the catch. She pulled the fish out of the pile and brought it to the museum to find out what kind of fish it was. Professor James Leonard Brierley Smith, the scientist she consulted, was surprised to see the fish because it looked like the coelacanths which were known only from fossils. The species was named Latimeria chalumnae in honour of her and the waters in which it was found.

Comoros

A worldwide search was launched for more coelacanths, with a reward of 100 British pounds
(a very substantial sum to the average South African fisherman of the time). Fourteen years later, they were found in the Comoros The Comorans, in port of Mutsamudu on the Comoran island of Anjouan, were puzzled that someone would pay big money for what the locals called a gombessa or mame, an inferior (nearly inedible) fish that their fishermen occasionally caught by mistake.

They now understand the significance of their endangered species and have a program in place to return any accidentally caught gombessa to deep water so that it can survive.

soooooo

being a musician, there are some words that refer to musicality that i have become accustomed to and never really thought about before. but as i was sitting in choir a few minutes ago, the director said she didn't want the sound to be bright but for it to be dark and warm. now, i know that a "bright" sound is usually faster in tempo but can also be sharp, and dark and warm is slow and rounded ... so why then is warm the opposite of bright?? things that are dark are usually cold. unless it's a hobbit hole. in which case i am further encouraged to move to alaska away from the nasty heat and beaches with sluts and horrible storms. just wonderful snow and everything sparkly and i can have a giant fluffy puppy dog. yes. most definately. where is this all going? to my random word, of course!!

Oh, touche. But now you must match my rendition of "The Crowing" by Coheed and Cambria.

"I fed the clues of a lost day killed in motion
But I thought of it so like there's no other way it could've been done
Will they size my fit for a puzzle I wish not to play a part in it.
A heart stained in hate, a feeling of fear will play circles.

But you, you were my favorite
But you, you know, you were my favorite

I severed my ties to shroud this body under the streets of this city
And wait for the day when I am summoned to walk across the face
Well, slowly but clearer now, in visions that play and plague memories
I loved them with all as the son should to mother and father

But you, you were my favorite
But you, you know, you were my favorite

Would I walk through the door, shedding the light of all life?
With the rise and reform, would I come as before?
Pray you're not the only one
Pray you're not the only...
If given mistakes, would I take them back?
If erasing them could, if erasing them would
But would they be the words that I would say?
Your face and a door between
I've parted three ways
For you, the Newo that I love

Did you ever really know before my face shamed to break?
Did you ever really know before my mind scared to think?
Did you ever really know before my name son to these?
Did you, did you, did you come clean in the end from the start?

Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes you to watch over me
Dear Ambellina, the Prise wishes all to watch over me
I fought the decisions that call and lost
My mark has the revelant piece in this
I will come reformed
In short, for the murders of those I court
I bless the hour that holds your fall
I will kill you all!!

Oh and I'm sooooo gay....................."

Wait................thats not the end of the song...............

A melancoly god up there

I would dry his eyes
I'd kiss his feet
To let the light shine on
Mortality

Message

I ask myself if there is
A melancoly god up there
Dissolved in tears i cross my heart
For death to bring us back to start

The boy outside is universal

And i ask myself if there is
A reward for tragedy
Please god, reverse my memory
I ask myself

Hold your horses the one who cares
Is the one outside dissolved in tears
Holds the candle while you read
Hold your horses your anxiety
The boy outside the family
Holds your hand while you sleep

The boy outside is universal"

I'm sorry to end out competition so soon by singing the greastest song, but alas, I must.

"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh. "

I told you homeboy u can't touch this
Yeah that's how we're livin' and you know u can't touch this
Look in my eyes man u can't touch this
You know let me bust the funky lyrics u can't touch this
Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know you wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rollin' hold on pump a little bit
And let me know it's going on like that like that
Cold on a mission so pull on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat uh u can't touch

Why you standing there man u can't touch this
Yo sound the bells school is in sucker u can't touch this
Give me a song or rhythm
Making 'em sweat that's what I'm giving 'em
Now they know when you talk about the Hammer
You talk about a show that's hyped and tight
Singers are sweatin' so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn what it's gonna take
in the 90's to burn
The charts legit either work hard
Or you might as well quit
That's word because you know
U can't touch this (oh-oh oh oh-oh-oh) (x2)
Break it down
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh) (x2)
Stop Hammer time
Go with the flow it is said if you can't move to this
Then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winter
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Move slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the bump
Bump bump bump yeah

You'll probably get hyped boy 'cause you know you can't u can't touch

Stop Hammer time
Every time you see me that Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this
With others makin' records they just dont get it
I toured around the world from London to The Bay
It's Hammer go Hammer MC Hammer Yo Hammer
and the rest go and play
U can't touch this (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) (x2)
U can't touch this (oh-oh oh-oh-oh)
Yeah u can't touch this

Here's a bad joke I heard today.  It cracked me up.

A chinese guy and a jewish guy are waiting at a bus station in New York.  They start talking.

After a while, the jewish guy looks at the chinese guy and slaps him behind the head.

Chinese guy: "Ouch !  That hurt !  What was that for ?".

Jewish guy: "That was for Pearl Harbor".

Chinese guy: "I'm not japanese, I'm chinese".

Jewish guy: "Chinese, Taiwainese, Japanese, you're all the same".

The chinese guy slaps the jewish guy behind the head.

Jewish guy: "Ouch !  That hurt !  What was that for ?".

Chinese guy: "That was for the Titanic".

Jewish guy: "Jews did not sink the Titanic.  It was an iceberg".

Chinese guy: "Greenberg, Goldberg, Iceberg, you're all the same".

Nah, that isn't bad. I quite like this semi-rude joke here.

In side some blokes balls where a whole load of sperm. Among these sperm was an overly-keen sperm called Sammy. He worked out all day, adamant that he would be the sperm to impregnate his target. Then finally the big day came and the sirens began to ring.

As expected, Sammy shot out like a rocket, way ahead of all the other sperms who just took it one stroke at a time, getting ever closer.

As they were about to leave thier host and enter the battle, Sammy shoots straight back past them. Obviously they are confused and they ask him where he is going. Calling back to them, he says "It's a false alarm!"

:D

my friend here at school's mom is a teacher (not sure what grade, i think junior high-ish, but i'm not entireley sure). well, this semester she got two new students, twins, a boy and a girl.  well, their names were pronounced (not spelled) molly (the boy) and fah-molly (the girl). my friend's mom asked the twins how they got those names, and the twins said that when the nurse brought them back to their mother with their birth certificates, the nurse had already named the children. well, truth is, the birth certificates said "male" and "female," and the monther honest-to-God thought that those were her childrens' names. so these poor twins have to live their lives with the names "Male" and "Female," just pronounced "molly" and "fah-molly" ....

When I watch the Jerry Springer show I always think of this: you need to prove your ability and get a permit to drive a car, to hunt, to work in another country but you don't need to do that to bring another human being in the world and raise him.

I think if everybody had to successfully pass a "good parent" test before they could have kids, there would be a lot less parents.  The gene pool would also be a lot cleaner.

Just kidding.  Even though some people are unfit parents and should be put to jail for what they do to their kids, it is an undeniable right to be able to reproduce yourself, no matter how mediocre your actions are towards your progeny.

What Is the Longest English Word?

The longest word to appear in standard English dictionaries is: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (45 letters). This is the name of a lung disease suffered by miners. It first appeared in Webster's New International Dictionary and then later in the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

That word again...

Polish Divorce

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his  English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he  rushed into a  lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him - "very  quick."

The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

LAWYER: "Have you any grounds?"

POLE: "JA, JA, acre and half and nice little home."

LAWYER: "No," I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

POLE: "It made of concrete"

LAWYER: "Does either of you have a real grudge?"

POLE: "No, we have carport, and not need one."

LAWYER: "I mean, What are your relations like?"

POLE: "All my relations still in Poland! ."

LAWYER: "Is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

POLE: "Ja, we have hi- fidelity stereo set and good DVD player."

LAWYER: Does your wife beat you up?"

POLE: "No, I always up before her."

LAWYER: "Is your wife a nagger?"

POLE: "No, she white."

LAWYER: "WHY do you want this divorce?"

POLE: "She going to kill me."

LAWYER: "What makes you think that?"

POLE: "I got proof. "

LAWYER: "What kind of proof?"

POLE: "She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say,

'Polish Remover'."

p.s. if people from poland are called poles, are people from holland called holes? :D

Damn women DRIVERS

This morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Cadillac doing 65 mph with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner.

I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup.

As a man, I don't scare easily.

But she scared me so much; I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, it knocked my cell phone away from my ear which fell into the coffee between my legs, splashed, and burned Big Jim and the Twins, ruined the damn phone, soaked my trousers, and disconnected an important call.

Nice, huh?  Can you guess who Big Jim & the Twins are? :)

AAADD
(Age  Activated Attention Deficit Disorder),

I need to wash my car.  As I head towards the garage, I notice there's
mail on the hall table.  I decide to go through it before washing the car.  
I put my keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the bin and notice the
bin is full.  So I decide to put the bills back on the table to take out
the bin.  But then I think, since I'm near the postbox when I take out the
bin,
I might as well pay the bills first.  I take my cheque book off the
table,and see that there is only one cheque left, so I go to my desk in my
study,where I find a bottle of Coke I had been drinking.  I'm about to look
for my cheques when I notice that the Coke is warm, so I decide to put it in
the fridge.  I head towards the kitchen when a vase of flowers catches my
eye - they need water.  As I put the Coke down on the worktop, I notice my
glasses, which I've been looking for all morning.  I decide I had better
take them back to my desk, but first I must water the flowers.  I fill
a jug with water when I spot the TV remote on the kitchen table.  Tonight
when we want to watch TV we'll be looking for it, so I decide to take it back
to the TV room; but first I must water the flowers.  I splash some water on
them, but some spills onto the floor.  So I put the remote down to wipe up
the spill.  Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was
planning todo.

Now it's the end of the day; the car isn't washed, the bills aren't
paid, there's a warm bottle of Coke on the worktop, the flowers aren't
watered, there's only one cheque in my cheque book, I can't find the remote or
my glasses, and I don't know what I did with the car keys.  I try to work
out why nothing got done today, and I'm baffled because I've been really
busy all day and now I'm really tired.  I realise this is a problem, and
I'll try to get some help, but first I'll check my e-mails.

Some things to keep you amused:

How to Impress a Woman:
* Wine her,
* Dine her,
* Call her,
* Hug her,
* Support her,
* Hold her,
* Surprise her
* Compliment her,
* Smile at her,
* Listen to her,
* Laugh with her,
* Cry with her,
* Romance her,
* Encourage her,
* Believe in her,
* Pray with her,
* Pray for her,
* Cuddle with her,
* Shop with her,
* Give her jewelry,
* Buy her flowers,
* Hold her hand,
* Write love letters to her,
* Go to the ends of the earth and back again for her.

How to Impress a Man:
* Show up naked,
* Bring beer and chicken wings,
* Don't block the TV.

(This was meant for humor, as it is not entirely true. Half the things listed in "How to impress a woman" I personally disagree with, but for humor's sake, it's there)

Customer: I have problems printing in red...
Helpdesk: Do you have a color printer?
Customer: Aaaah..................Thank you.
******
Helpdesk: What's on your monitor now ma'am?
Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me in the supermarket.
******
Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Helpdesk:  Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?
Customer: I don't know.  I can't get behind the computer
Helpdesk: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: Okay.
Helpdesk: Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Yes.
Helpdesk: That means the keyboard is not plugged in.  Is there another keyboard?
Customer: Yes, there's another one here.  Ah...that one does work!
******
Helpdesk: Your password is the small letter "a" as in apple, a capital letter V as in Victor, and the number 7.
Customer: Is that 7 in capital letters?
******
A customer couldn't get on the Internet.
Helpdesk: Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Yes I'm sure.  I saw my colleague do it.

Customer: Five stars.
******
Helpdesk: What anti-virus program do you use?
Customer:  Netscape.

Helpdesk: How may I help you?

*One of my friends had to do an essay on why people are happy. She cracked me up when she presented me with this.*

WHY MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

What do you expect from such simple creatures!?


Your last name stays put.


The garage is all yours.

Wedding plans take care of themselves.

Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be president.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO T-shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.
The world is your urinal.
You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky.
You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay.
Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress - $5000; tux rental -- $100.
People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood, ALL the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars.
You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life.
Your belly usually hides your big hips.
One wallet and one pair of shoes, one color, all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can "do" your nails with a pocketknife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives, on December 24, in 45 minutes.
No wonder men are happier

This is really an eye opener.... Water or Coke? We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE:

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.

9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.


For Your Info:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!


Now the question is, would you like a coke or a glass of water?

A nice joke I heard from a friend in the south....
-------------------------------------------------------------------

A filthy rich man in North Carolina decided that he wanted to throw a party and invited all of his buddies and neighbors.

He also invited Leroy, the only redneck in the neighborhood.

He held the party around the pool in the backyard of his mansion.

Everyone was having a good time drinking, dancing, eating shrimp, oysters and BBQ and flirting with the women.

At the height of the party, the host said, "I have a 10ft man-eating gator in my pool and I'll give a million dollars to anyone who has the balls to jump in"

The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash and everyone turned around and saw Leroy in the pool!

Leroy was fighting the gator and kicking its ass! Leroy was jabbing the gator in the eyes with his thumbs, throwing punches, head butts and choke holds, biting the gator on the tail and flipping the gator through the air like some kind of Judo Instructor.

The water was churning and splashing everywhere. Both Leroy and the gator were screaming and raising hell. Finally Leroy strangled the gator and let it float to the top like a K-mart goldfish. Leroy then slowly climbed out of the pool. Everybody was just staring at him in disbelief.

Finally the host says, "Well, Leroy, I reckon I owe you a million dollars."

"No, that's okay. I don't want it," said Leroy.

The rich man said, "Man, I have to give you something. You won the bet. How about half a million bucks then?"

"No thanks. I don't want it," answered Leroy.

The host said, "Come on, I insist on giving you something. That was amazing. How about a new Porsche and a Rolex and some stock options?"

Again Leroy said no.

Confused, the rich man asked, "Well, Leroy, then what do you want?"

Leroy said, "I want the name of the sumbitch who pushed me in the pool."

so last night, we were all chillin, doing missions, the combat clinic had just finished, etc. altab gets online and says that internet people need to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, 365 days a year. i responded with hmmm i am a musician and can only count to four. :p

within the hour, my entire college campus lost all outside internet connection for the rest of the night. bastards! i could get onto the school site, and my school e-mail, but no other sites, or AIM, or TS. it was like .... wtf?! so around 10 or 1030pm it went out, i thought it was my computer so i freaked out and went on a cleaning spree, then a kid from upstairs called saying his internet was out, too. it still wasn't back up this morning but came back up sometime while i was at class.

moral of the story: please don't talk about losing internet ... or bash network people ... you never know what powers you might have over others' gaming!! LOL!! :p

my friend decided to write me a poem. i think he was drunk at the time. and yes, his nickname for me is fluffy or fluffers, and he will go to hell for it. so here goes:

Ode to Fluffers

Over the lips
Around the Tongue
Look out stomach
Here it comes....

This is dedicated to every man who ever attempted to get into a regular
workout routine.  A must read!


Dear Diary...

For my 28th birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a week of
personal training at the Virgin Active for me.  Although I am still in great
shape since playing on my high school rugby team, I decided it would be a
good idea to go ahead and give it a try.  I called the club and made my
reservations with a personal trainer I'll call Cindy, who identified herself
as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and
swim wear.  My wife seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started.  The
club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.



Monday:

Started my day at 6:00am.  Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well
worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Cindy waiting for me.
She is something of a Greek goddess - with blond hair, dancing eyes and a
dazzling white smile.  Woo Hoo!!  Cindy gave me a tour and showed me the
machines.  She took my pulse after five minutes on the treadmill.  She was
alarmed that my pulse was so fast, but I attribute it to standing next to
her in her Lycra aerobic outfit.

I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she conducted her aerobics
class after my workout today.  Very inspiring.  Cindy was encouraging as I
did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the
whole time she was around.  This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!



Tuesday:

I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door.  Cindy
made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air-then she put
weights on it!  My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made
the full mile.

Cindy's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile.  Feel GREAT!!  It's a whole
new life for me.



Wednesday:

The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter
and moving my mouth back and forth over it.  I believe I have a hernia in
both pectorals.  Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop.  I
parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.  Cindy was impatient with
me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members.  Her voice is a
little too perky for early in the morning and when she scolds, she gets this
nasally whine that is VERY annoying.  My chest hurt when I got on the
treadmill, so Cindy put me on the stair monster.  Why the hell would anyone
invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators?
Cindy told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life.  She said some
other rubbish too.




Thursday:

Cindy was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin,
cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl.  I couldn't help being a half
an hour late, it took me that long to tie my shoes.

Cindy took me to work out with dumbbells.  When she was not looking, I ran
and hid in the men's room.  She sent Lars to find me, then, as punishment,
she put me on the rowing machine - which I sank.



Friday:

I hate that bitch Cindy more than any human being has ever hated any other
human being in the history of the world.  Stupid, skinny, anaemic little
cheerleader.

If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would
beat her with it.  Cindy wanted me to work on my triceps.  I don't have any
triceps!  And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the
barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich (which I am sure you
learned in the sadist school you attended and graduated magna cum laude
from).  The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition
teacher.  Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or
the choir director?



Saturday:

Cindy left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice
wondering why I did not show up today.  Just hearing her made me want to
smash the machine with my planner.  However, I lacked the strength to even
use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather
Channel.



Sunday:

I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and
thank GOD that this week is over.  I will also pray that next year my wife
(the B***H)

will choose a gift for me that is fun - like a root canal or vasectomy.

I found these two fan vids on fileplanet today (even though they've been out for a while). You may need to register with fileplanet before you can dl them.

This is a 10 minute film that parodies the burly brawl. Absolutely hilarious!

http://www.fileplanet.com/150990/150000/fileinfo/The-Matrix-Online---C-vs.-M-Movie



This one is a short movie (17 mins) that follows the very basic formula. Guy loses girl, guy searches for girl, guy finds girl. It's actually not that bad and has some funny moments as well (theres a bloopers section after the credits, and also shows the great MA tourney in beta, you can see a group of us sitting in the distance).

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
 
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
 
ABBOTT: Mac?
 
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
 
ABBOTT: Your computer?
 
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?
 
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
 
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
 
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
 
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
 
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the  windows?
 
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
 
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and  software.
 
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
 
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to  write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do  you have?
 
ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
 
ABBOTT: I just did.
 
COSTELLO: You just did what?
 
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
 
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
 
ABBOTT: Yes.
 
COSTELLO: For my office?
 
ABBOTT: Yes.
 
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.
 
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
 
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
 
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's  just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a  proposal. What do I need?
 
ABBOTT: Word.
 
COSTELLO: What word?
 
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
 
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
 
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
 
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
 
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't  start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I  watch movies on the Internet?

ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.

COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!
 
ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: If it's a long movie, I also want to watch reels 2  , 3 and 4. Can I watch them?

ABBOTT: Of course.

COSTELLO: Great! With what?

ABBOTT: Real One.
 
COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a  movie. What do I do?

ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".

COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?

ABBOTT: The blue "1".

COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?

ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: But there are three words in "office for windows"!

ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most popular Word in the  world.

COSTELLO: It is?
 
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words  left. It pretty much wiped out all the other words out  there.

COSTELLO: And that word is real one?

ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of Office.
 
COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
 
ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
 
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

February 9, 2013:

Andy Wachowski answers his PHONE. On the other end is the VOICE of Joel Silver.

JOEL
Andy! Great to hear from you again.
Has your brother gone into labor yet?

ANDY
What do you want, Joel?
I told you we're not doing-

JOEL
-a Matrix part 7. Yes, I know.
But we've talked to Keanu and he
swears he can drop 50 pounds and-

ANDY
Dammit, Joel. Neo died in part 6.
AGAIN. It's the fourteenth time he's
died in the series. We showed his body
being burned and his ashes being shot
into the sun. We even had that
scene at the end where God himself came
down from Heaven and declared that Neo
and Trinity would never, ever, ever
return lest all of existance be unmade.

JOEL
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned Trinity.
Carrie-Ann is close to signing-

ANDY
Joel, I'm getting death threats from fans.


JOEL
You're breaking up here, I'm almost out of
my service area. Quickly, we got Joe
Pantaliano's verbal agreement to do the film
in exchange for some food and a better box
to sleep in-

ANDY
Joel, you do this, and I WILL KILL YOU.
Do you understand?

JOEL
-and Warner wants this one PG-13.
It'll be tough, but I told them you
were my guys and you could do it.
So we're just gonna take out all
of the fight scenes, it's perfect.
It's better than perfect, I love it.

ANDY
AGH!

JOEL
Also - I'm blueskying with Gabriel
and he suddenly says -and you will
LOVE this- that if the movies were
only a half hour long, we could have like
thirty showings a day. So we're thinking,
"How to trim the time?" and it hits
me. The bullet time! It's in slow motion,
for crissakes, right? You ditch that,
you're in at 30 minutes with a whisper!

ANDY
KILL YOU. BULLETS IN YOU AND KILL.
SO MUCH ANGRY. JUST.

JOEL
I TOLD Gabriel you'd love it. Also,
I'll need a script by nine tonight.

LARRY
NO!

JOEL
...and the money truck will be by around 9:30.

ANDY
Oh.


A pause.

ANDY
Yeah, alright.

LARRY
Actually, those were some great ideas, Joel.

JOEL
Homerun Joel! That's why you
guys call me Homerun Joel!


We hear a CLICK and a DIAL TONE.

LARRY
But that's not what we call him.

ANDY
Shut up and get your writing pad.

THE END

"Some study by some scientist at some university done on some women finds that somewhere around 90%-ish of women list "humor" as the number one thing they look for in a mate."

As stupid as I just wrote that, it's a real study, I just forgot the exact number and who, where, and when it was done. I use to study the art of women fishing, or 'how-to-get-a-date', when I was in my younger years.

Yeah, so thank Grim. I work hard for your amusment.

I had read the original Matrix script before, but never read the revised 1997 "final" version, and I found a great quote that I know grim will appretiate. (By the way, this is real)

"
In the distance, we see the ruins of a future Chicago
protruding from the wasteland like the blackened ribs of a
long-dead corpse.

                         MORPHEUS
          'The desert of the real.'

Beneath us, the lake is gone.

We turn and descend, spiraling down toward the lake bed
which is scorched and split like burnt flesh, where we
find Morpheus and Neo.

(http://a.abclocal.go.com/images/wls/wls_061705_kitten.jpg)

June 17, 2005 (ROSEBURG, Ore.) — A newborn kitten recently entered the world with two faces and, hopefully, at least nine lives. Gemini was born Sunday with two mouths, two tongues, two noses and four eyes.

"I kind of feel sorry for her, because I can't know for a fact if she's going to live or die," its owner, Lee Bluetear of Glide, told the (Roseburg) News-Review. "If she makes it, she should be a perfectly normal and healthy cat. Other than having two faces."

Roseburg veterinarian Alan Ross, who examined the kitten on Tuesday, said he can't estimate the kitten's life span. He said when he first saw the kitten, he wouldn't have given her more than a 10 percent chance of survival.

"With the three of our veterinarians here, we have a combined total of 50 years of experience," Ross said. "We have never seen anything like this."

Bluetear, 40, said Gemini is much stronger and drinking more milk than in its first few days. Ross said that if the kitten does survive, it might need surgery to remove the extra tissue in between its two mouths.

Bluetear has been breeding different kinds of animals, starting with dogs, since 1980. Roughly three years ago, she discovered a litter of smaller than normal kittens she calls "miniature cats."

She now has plans to market the miniature cats, which grow to about 4 pounds, on the Internet.

Gemini was born to a miniature mother and a full-size father.

"Everybody is totally amazed that this thing exists," Bluetear said.

9:13, Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified, alone in that darkness. Slowly daylight crept in through the bandages, and I could see, but something else had changed inside of me. That day I had my first headache.


9:22, Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before. I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood.

Top stories you ask? ok:

Meaning of Life Revealed

JERUSALEM (DPI) – After considerable nagging by humanity, God revealed the meaning of life today during a special news conference. As many freshman philosophy majors had guessed, the meaning of life was revealed to be searching for the meaning of life. Unfortunately, this revelation now nullifies the purpose of existence and life has become meaningless. This is a disheartening turn of events for everyone except sophomore philosophy majors, who had taken a liking to nihilism.


Hummer Driver Fails to See Irony of Bumper Stickers

CLEVELAND (DPI) – Jennifer Mitchell was confused earlier today by an inappropriate hand gesture she received while waiting in traffic. Pfc. Jonathan Harris, on leave from fighting the war on terror, made the gesture while Mitchell sat stopped at a red light inside her monstrous, gas-guzzling Hummer. Harris said he made the gesture in response to several bumper stickers on the back of the Hummer, sporting messages such as "Support our Troops," "Death to Bin Laden" and "Peace in the Middle East." A disgusted Harris later commented, "I'm glad she supports the troops, considering we're fighting so she can fill up that disgusting piece of shit." Mitchell, shaken by the incident, decided to calm down by taking a long, unnecessary drive, stopping to fill up on gas three times and at no point driving on anything but smooth, paved roads.

so ... my friend had to do this projevt for her english class ... this is what she came up with ... made me laugh lol

   Scene from the first Matrix never caught on camera.  Focuses on the Oracle just before Neo walks in.

   The Oracle is sitting in the kitchen.  She takes a long drag on a cigarette and throws some more cookie batter into a bowl.  She stirs it with more than a little pent-up energy and begins to mutter into the cloud of smoke growing around her.  Ash from her cigarette falls into the batter bowl, but she just keeps on stirring.

   “God I hate my programming.  I am so sick of all these weird-ass kids making imaginary things float and nonexistent spoons bend.  Little freaks-”

   The door cracks open an inch.

   “Yes, yes.  I know, he’s here, now get rid of the others before he gets all attached and screws everything up.  I’m already sacrificing a vase for this moron.”

   Cookie dough roughly plops onto the greased baking sheet as the oracle violently flings it from her spoon.  With the twentieth cigarette of the day now a pile of smoldering ash, she reaches for her pack and lighter.

   “Stupid bastards.  Nobody visits me just to talk anymore.  It’s, ‘Will I win the lotto tomorrow?’ and ‘Do you think I can make a career out of this spoon bending thing?’ and can’t these people figure anything out for themselves?”

   Having checked on the cookies she reaches for a prescription bottle on the counter.  The door swings open again.  This time a man in an ugly light-colored suit with sunglasses and dark shoes walks in.

   “What do you want?  I told you not to come back till you figured out how to clone yourself.  Hmm?  There’s only one of you, so I know that’s not it.  Well, Smith?”

   The agent humbly looks at his feet and begins to mumble.  “Well, ma, the other agents were planning to go out and destroy a few buildings while hunting down some of those. . . miscreants I told you about this morning, and-”

   The oracle waves her hand in an impatient gesture.  “Whatever, just leave me alone.  Yes, with the freaks, the cookies,” the bottle finally opens and she swallows a handful of capsules, “and my prozac.  Now leave before anyone sees you.  Jeez, you are so embarrassing.”

   Agent Smith, head bowed, shuffles out of the room.  She takes a few sips of water to give the pills a little help and, just as the first batch of cookies is ready to come out of the oven, Neo walks in.  She turns and smiles, poised and ready to grab the cookie sheet so they can cool off.

   “Don’t worry about the vase, dear.”

Predator to Run for Governor in Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan. (DPI) - Following in the footsteps of co-stars Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Predator has announced his candidacy in the November 2006 Kansas gubernatorial election. Pred, as he likes to be called, has cobbled together a coalition of strange bedfellows supporting his campaign, including the NRA and the Green Party. "I am a well-known hunting advocate, and although I don't use rifles per se myself, the NRA supports the sport," said Pred. Green party support, he said, is a calculated political maneuver based on the success of his co-stars, who run under the banner of shrill, spoiler, outsiders, the Reform Party and California Republicans. The Predator's major campaign promise is to do for the image of Kansas what Ventura did for Minnesota and Schwarzenegger for California -- change the nation's perception of the state from "charming but quirky" to "batshit insane."

GM Unveils "Sweet Jesus, You're Fucking Killing Us" Pricing

DETROIT (DPI) - Despite a desperate new promotion in which buyers are able to purchase a new car at the "Employee Discount" price, General Motors has been unable to jump-start auto sales. "When you can't even sell cars at cost, it's pretty fucking sad," said GM's CEO Rick Wagoner. "We have no choice but to move on to Plan B, known as Sweet Jesus, You're Fucking Killing Us pricing. Under this new plan, not only can consumers can buy a brand new car at 30 percent below cost, but they also get a handjob from my wife thrown in as well. And a set of free floor mats." Wagoner also reported that as contingency plans prepared in the event that this new promotion "shits the bed as well," GM executives were busily drawing up plans for Could You Please Lube Up Our Assholes a Little Bit First? pricing and Why Don't You Just Take the Hairs on Our Nutsacks While You're At It? pricing.


Quality of Friend's Sexual Euphemisms Down 65%

COLUMBUS, Ohio (DPI) – Mark Johnson earlier this week reported an alarming decline in the overall quality of long-time friend Paul Tuttle's sexual euphemisms, estimating at least a 65-percent drop in what was once considered Tuttle's comedic monopoly. "In high school he used to be so good at it," said Johnson. "He'd be like, 'I'd like to help HER with her homework' or 'Miss Scarlet can keep ME after class,' but now it seems like he's trying to force it. We were walking by a MILF doing yard work and he elbows me and says, 'I'd like to cultivate HER garden.' You can't just say a sentence with emphasis on the pronoun and have it be automatically funny." Tuttle declined to fully comment on the accusations, saying only, "That intern you have with you is pretty cute. I'd like HER to interview ME ... if you know what I mean."

Jiffy Lube Now Recommends Changing Oil Every Fucking Day

COLUMBUS, Ohio (DPI) - Local Jiffy Lube franchisee Bob Saunders is proud of his company's ability to soak its customers for excessive and unnecessary oil changes. "Because of improvements in both engine design and motor oil quality, virtually every automobile's owner's manual these days recommends changing your oil only every 7,500 miles. In spite of this, we've managed to convince drivers to change their oil at least every 5,000 miles, or every 3,000 if their car is older than the milk in their refrigerator," said Saunders, smiling at the queue of cars wrapped around his garage like a boa constrictor around its prey. "So we figured that if people would fall for that, they'd gobble up daily oil changes hook, line, and sinker." Saunders also announced that Jiffy Lube's new "Weekly Radiator Flush" ad campaign would begin later this month.

NEW YORK (DPI) — Snack-maker Frito-Lay announced today that the bag of Ruffles potato chips you bought this morning is freshest if eaten before Dec. 5, 2005, "for Christ's sake." The company, speaking via a small factory stamp on the back of the 12 oz bag, reminds all consumers that they have more than four goddamn months to eat the product, should anyone want to show one shred of self-restraint. "Our snack products are all packaged for maximum freshness preservation. As if it matters," said spokesman Craig Montague. In a similar announcement, Frito-Lay reminded customers to recycle the product's empty bag after the car ride home from the grocery store, lardo.

Worst First Date Story

    If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when
    you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or
    not!!!

    We have all had bad dates.. but this takes the cake. This just tells you
    how tough it is to be single nowadays. This was on the "Tonight Show" with
    Jay Leno. Jay went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first
    date that a woman ever had. The winner described
    her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as
    to why her tale took the prize!

    She said it was midwinter... snowing and quite cold... and the guy had
    taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a
    day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and truly had
    never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they
    were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the
    mountain, when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had
    that extra latte. They were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest
    room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold
    it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and
    slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop
    and let her pee beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car.

    They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants
    down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let
    her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion
    stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real
    gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the
    relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.

    Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she
    bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were
    firmly glued against the car's fender.

    Thoughts of tongues frozen to pump handles immediately came to mind
    as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was
    quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem due to the extreme cold.
    Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she
    answered her date's concerns about "what is taking so long" with a reply
    that indeed, she was "freezing her butt off and in need of some
    assistance!"

    He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and
    then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She
    too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves,
    they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was,
    they also were faced with a real problem Both agreed it would take
    something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal!
    Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place,
    both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as
    she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants
    and pee her butt off the fender.

    As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands
    down... or perhaps that should be "pants down." ..And you thought your
    first date was embarrassing.

    Jay Leno's comment .. "This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off."

Scientists: Eat Whatever You Fucking Want

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (DPI) — Frustrated Harvard University scientists have published a new study that encourages Americans to eat whatever the fuck they want. The announcement comes after thousands of food-related studies over the last few decades have proven inconclusive. "Too much dairy, not enough dairy, red meat, fish," droned one tired-looking researcher. "Everything causes cancer! Every single goddamn thing we have tested is eventually going to give you cancer. On an encouraging note, though, every single goddamn thing we have tested will also prevent cancer. So fuck it. Just eat whatever."

This guy checks into a hotel on a trip to Atlanta recently and was a bit lonely so he thought he would call up one of those girls you see advertised in phone booths when you're ringing for a cab.  He grabbed a card on his way in.

It was an ad for a girl calling herself Veronique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful wavy waist-length hair, long graceful legs all the way up to her ... well, you know the kind. So he's in his room and figures, what the hell, he'll give her a call.

"Hello?" the woman said. God, she sounded sexy.

"Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one.

No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex.
 
I want it hard, I want it hot and I want it now.  I'm talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we'll do it. Bring implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks.

We'll go hot and heavy all night; Tie me up, wear a strap on, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything you want, baby.

Now, how does that sound?"

She says, "That sounds fantastic, but for an outside line you need to press 9."

The attached is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by a 96 year-old  woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in
the New York Times.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my cheque with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his depositing the cheque and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly transfer of funds from my modest savings account, an arrangement which, I
admit, has been in place for only thirty-one years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank.

>My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has recently become.

From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by cheque, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.

Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope.

Please find attached an Application Contact Status form which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative.

Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Please allow me to level the playing field even further. When you call me, you will now have a menu of options on my new voice mail system to choose from.

Pease press the buttons as follows:

1. To make an appointment to see me.

2. To query a missing payment.

3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.

4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.

5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.

6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.

7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to the Authorized Contact.

8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.

9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee of $50 to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. Please credit my account after each occasion.

May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous, New Year.

Your Humble Client,

(Remember: This was written by a 96 year old woman)

Journalists: It's Way Too Fucking Hot, Humid for Real News

WASHINGTON (DPI) — Journalists are reporting that the overwhelming heat and humidity throughout most of North America are largely responsible for the total lack of any newsworthy activity.  "Seriously, this shit is ridiculous," said Wolf Blitzer from the air-conditioned confines of the CNN offices. "Who wants to go out and make news when you're drenched in your own funky sweat?" Approximately 90 percent of the United States and nearly all of Canada have reported unseasonably warm and humid temperatures for the last 10 days, and relief is still far off in the forecast for most of the continent. According to Washington-based ABC news anchor Peter Jennings, San Diego — with its permanent 72-degree, sunny, dry weather — can go fuck itself already.

Blatantly ripped from The Onion (http://www.theonion.com/opinion/index.php?issue=4131).

On a personal note, if you fit into this category, I AM belittleing you, and enjoying it as well. :D

What's hanging, teenage homies? I'm Ralph Lucci—Radical Ralph—coming to rap at you on your terms and on your turf about the things you care about most. Stuff like baggy pants, snacks, and hard-rocking carbonated beverages. As you keep livin' your vidas loca, I want you to know that the multinational PepsiCo conglomeration, which includes dozens of dope fast-food chains, beverage brands, and packaged non-perishable snacks—and for which I'm a proud representative—is totally down with your way-out-there niche community.

You might think just because you freestyle rap with your MP3s, the PepsiCo family of products has no relevance in your life. That could not be farther from the truth. In fact, the crazy, unique, cutting-edge stuff you're into now? The entire management team here in the North American headquarters was totally into that sh*t a couple months ago! No lie, dawgs. What's really hot is that we even have some wreckin'-sick snack foods that are totally chill with your take-no-prisoners, no-holds-barred, 13-to-17-year-old lifestyle.

Take our Doritos-brand Nacho Cheesier chips, for example. They are ghetto fabulous.

Word: If you have never tasted a Nacho Cheesier chip, do not ever taste a Nacho Cheesier chip, as you will not be able to understand a Nacho Cheesier chip. That's just how it is with food products that are so authentic, hardcore, and fricking intenso that they redefine your entire life.

Also, our off-the-Richter-scale Mountain Dew AMP line of energy-drink beverages is truly off the hook. There's nothing conservative about a skandalouz beverage named AMP, obviously. And we do not heavily promote it, so it's totally underground, just like you and your hood-rat posse.

Sometimes it feels like nobody understands your rebellious, genre-defying crew of goth-rocker pals—am I right? You see, as a senior-level executive at one of the world's largest conglomerates of food-service brands, I know exactly where you're coming from.

One phunky-fresh freakster to another: After a long day of hanging ten while surf-blogging and buggin' on wack 'rents problems, what's better than a game-tight fluid refresher like Gatorade Frost?

Of course, for alternative, anti-mainstream dudes like yourselves, you might need something a little bit more punkin'. And trust me, we have got just the thing: Oberto meat snacks. Players, let me assure you, these processed-and-cured jerky competitors are stiz-upendous. Take it from me, a guy who understands the elaborate clothing styles, secret handshakes, and hep vernacular that define your wiggedy-wiggedy wack-daddy scene.

Although I do highly recommend the ill snacks and beverages I've already mentioned—Doritos tortilla chips, Mountain Dew AMP, and Oberto meat snacks—this is about more than just existing product lizzles. It's about jiving around together with your buddies, playing amplified homemade instruments on the street corner, getting crazy haircuts—or better yet, dyeing your hair green!—all while helping us brainstorm some balls-out, edgy new snack foods and beverages that will appeal directly to people like you, with whom we are, of course, down.

So bust out of your grooved-out hip-hop cypher for a couple hours and come on down to the Frito-Lay building on West Essex Road this Saturday—if you are radical enough of a hipster cat, that is—and try out some of the new pimped-out food items and drink products we are developing.

Teens in the Squares demographic need not apply!

Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two, and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.

The horrified Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the US scientists for suggestions.

NASA responded with a one-line memo --

"Defrost the chicken."

(True Story)

.... that pic was funny for about half a second ....

***************

 A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank:

 Family Member: "I am calling to tell you that she died in January."

 Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."

 Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."

 Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been."

 Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"

 Citibank: "Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!"

Sunshine Happy Vibes Rap Festival Tour Cancelled

DETROIT (DPI) — Poor ticket sales and lack of media interest have caused the promoters of the Sunshine Happy Vibes rap festival tour to cancel all of the remaining shows on the tour. Tour co-headliners Plezzant-G and Conviviuhl took the news in stride, saying, "I guess the world jus' ain't ready for happy rap — or 'hap-hop,' as we like to call it." Rapper DJ Gleeful was less sanguine: "Man, this sucks. Now where will people go when they want to hear uplifting rap music?" Despite the cancellation, the tour's other performers — ChipperGuy, Xstatic, the Merry Mobb, Jewbilant and Tikkled Peenk — are reported to be in good spirits.[/b]

Mythbusters Bust "Your Mother's a Slut" Myth

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (DPI) — Your mother has been scientifically proven not to be a slut, according to the Discovery Channel's hit show Mythbusters. Co-stars Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman and the Mythbusters build team recently took a case of wine and a stack of romantic CD's to your mom's house to test the age-old schoolyard taunt about your mother's sexual proclivities. After several hours of romantic mood-setting by the Mythbusters crew, not once did your mother even hint at arousal, saying only that Adam and Jamie "seemed to be nice boys." On the other hand, your sister, who was paying your mom a visit while in town on business, tossed her panties at the feet of build team member Kari Byron after only two glasses of chardonnay.

War Protestor Elevated From "Quirky" to "Cunt"

CRAWFORD, Texas (DPI) — The Bush administration has officially elevated the status of Cindy Sheehan from "Quirky Nuisance" to "Bit of a Cunt." This is a jump from blue to orange on the president's new public-dissent meter. The elevation followed several weeks of Sheehan protesting the death of her son outside the president's Texas ranch. "At first I felt sorry for her," said Bush. "Her son was killed in Iraq, which is really sad. Now it's been two weeks and the bitch needs to get off my lawn. I can't personally meet with everyone who has lost a son in Iraq. I wouldn't have any time for golf and weeding." With media coverage of the protest increasing steadily, Sheehan will likely reach red or "intolerable whore" by early next week.

Go to your local chinese restaurant and order a cup of hot and sour soup.  It may not sound tasty at first, but you get addicted to the stuff.  I'm ordering huge cupfulls of the stuff every day for lunch now.  It will burn any sickness right out of you.

Or, you can try this:  (I deny any allegations that say I suggested this)

1.  Go to Domino's Pizza and ask for two packs of those hot peppers that they give you when you order a pizza.

2.  Bring the peppers home, and set them aside.  Pour a glass of wine into a pot and set it on the stove to boil.

3.  Once the wine starts boiling pretty well, rip the pepper packets open and pour them in.

4.  Stir liberally for 3-4 minutes.

5.  Pour the wine (with the peppers in it) back into the glass.  Let sit for a few minutes.

6.  While the wine is still hot (but bearable to drink), gulp down the entire glass as fast as you can.

7.  Pray to every god when you try to go to the bathroom the next morning.

Good GOD how did you find THAT out manic?

I was at a football game with some friends a while bac. We called ourselves "The Habenero Club", because you had to eat a whole habenero in order to join. We had the best nachos too. About two bucks a man was enough for a monsterload of them. We quartered and baked tortillas, had another guy slice up jalapenos (hey, cant expect a guy to eat habaneros all the time!) and another guy grate cheese over 'em. Well one day, I was walking through the kitchen, and the guy cutting jalapenos asked me to take over for him for a second so he could go to the bathroom.

A couple seconds later, we all heard a blood-curdling scream from the bathroom.

Just crunching shit numbers for my job.  I've become a sort of impromptu accountant.  Which is funny because I don't think I've ever passed a math class with anything higher than a C.  My brain just doesn't do well with numbers at all.  I'm very right-brained.

Lips, hips, ass and attitude.  Ms. Bellucci has them in spades!

I always thought her outfit in that scene was a bit much.  Maybe more than a bit.  If ever there was an outfit that said "Here's a little something for the boys in the audience", that was it.  Her pale green dress was perfect.  It was sexy without requiring her boobs to be spilling out over the top of it.

You never really watched the scenes in Reloaded did you Manic, take a look at the scene just before Persephone kills the werewolf dude. When see opens the door you get the full frontal shot of her, yea that little green dress is see through, but Ms. Bellucci is a porn star, give me a minute with Google and I'll find her without any clothing anyways.

No.  No no.  You did not just question my obsession for this trilogy.  Eroz, my name is Manic Velocity.  You have doubted my love for The Matrix.  Prepare to die.

But seriously, there's something to be said about a woman who knows how to wear her clothes.  Any woman can strip and have every guy within a 5 mile radius all over her... well, maybe not any woman... but I happen to admire women that can look sexy while covering themselves up.

And notice that I'm saying "women".  You can have all your "girls" and your "chicks".  I want something real.

Do I mind a nude Monica Bellucci?  Of course not.  However, I have about 8 Monica Bellucci wallpapers, and if memory serves she's only nude in two of them.  In fact, most of the women in my wallpaper collection are fully clothed.  I find her face to be the most beautiful part about her.  That and her accent.  :)  She's just flat out gorgeous.  She doesn't need to stoop to the level of being erotic eye candy in order to be attractive.

Ok,  I'mn just going to leave this at a simple quote. I argee with you Manic, so I leave you with this quote

"A flower is only as good as it pedals."

(If we didn't have clothing then we would be basing out choice of women purely off if she is "good-looking" in the childbearing sense, and if we did that I would assume we wouldn't care about marriage, just about the race surviving. I know that was more then just one quote, but whatever.)

Study: Iraqis Love Democracy, Prefer Not Dying

BAGHDAD, Iraq (DPI) A recent survey of Iraqi citizens has confirmed one of President Bush's principal assertions about the war in Iraq: The study found that an impressive 87 percent of Iraqis prefer democracy to the rule of Saddam Hussein. However, the study also showed that 98 percent of Iraqis prefer not being killed to having a participatory government. "Oh sure, free elections are super," said one Baghdad resident, who requested anonymity for fear of being targeted by insurgents. "I love being able to vote. It's just the constant fear of being blown up thing I don't care for." Electricity, jobs and being able to feed their children also outranked democracy in the survey. "Totalitarian government blows, no one can deny that," added a woman from Mosul. "But the thing is, Saddam didn't just randomly execute people. His shenanigans really only affected a very small percen— FUCKINGSHIT, GET DOWN!... Nevermind, false alarm."

Bush's 2% Approval Among African-Americans
Drawing Historical Comparisons


WASHINGTON (DPI) — Recent polls have shown President Bush's current approval rating among African-Americans at 2 percent. Not only is this the lowest single-demographic approval rating for a sitting president in American history, but it is possibly the lowest approval rating for anyone anywhere. Some historical comparisons:


» A 1940 poll shows Hitler with a 5-percent approval rating among European Jews.

» A French poll in 1789 reveals Marie Antoinette enjoyed an 11-percent approval rating among the wretched.

» Restored writings state that 9 percent of those tortured and enslaved by Genghis Khan opined, "same shit, different warlord."

» Three of Jesus' 12 apostles (25 percent) thought Pontius Pilate was "an OK guy, all things considered."


Note: Considering that the margin of error for the Bush poll was stated at +/- 3.2%, it is mathematically possible that each and every African-American not named Condoleezza hates the president's ever-loving guts.

Foxtrot never disappoints! :p

in other news... the Canadian government is f*cked up!  right now the Liberals hold a minority government... they are also in strong opposition from the NDP and Conservatives, the Conservatives have been trying to topple the govt since like april when it got voted in, but the NDP sided with the liberals, pending certain agreements and the outcome of a scandal report.  Well the report is in, it was the ex liberal prime minister's fault ... and here we go, the NDP no longer wanna support the liberals... so after just having an election not to long ago... it looks like we could be going to vote again.  

Now here is the funny thing... polls on nov 4 show the country is still in favour of a liberal minority govt... so what the f*ck is going to happen if we vote again?? we'll just get back into the same mess were in now!

    * Liberals: 35 per cent (+7)
    * Conservatives: 28 per cent (-3)
    * NDP: 16 per cent (-4)
    * Bloc Quebecois 13 per cent (no change)
    * Green Party: 8 per cent (+1)

God I hate politics!

Dear Mr Rabbitt, (Why the extra T? Afraid of furry-jokes when paying
with your credit card? Or does the rabbit suit give you away?)

Even though we deeply respect and acknowledge your "intellectual"
property, we fail to see how an interpretation of the said directives
makes them applicable in this case.
NONE of the copyrighted data in question is published or ever stored on
our servers. Nor is any of the copyrighted data relayed through our
servers. The tracker merely provides .torrent files.
As to this day this activity is not prohibited by Swedish law and it's
our assessment that not even a wide interpretation of the E-commerce
directives makes them applicable to torrent trackers. Out activities
will therefore continue until this fact changes or Hell freezes over.

We suggest that you motion for a change of Swedish and/or for the
European Supreme Court to clarify the interpretation of the directive,
which should take no more than 3-7 years. Patience is a virtue!

In the meantime: Enjoy our tracker! If you browse under "porn" I'm sure
that you'll find something that tickles just that "special" spot.
Hope to see you at the annually furry-convention in Las Vegas! Our whole

(Actually the extra 't' has always been there. I suppose I could ask  
the elders of the family why it was added, but most of them have

With regard to the situation at hand, I'll take your advice and  
contact the EC directly. I don't expect much, I just don't want to  
lose any more sales to the person called 'evilsibe'. We've been able  
to shut down many trackers who don't actually host our materials  
under the 'made available' clause of the US DMCA; but this is an  
international case, so the laws of the US don't hold water - nor

How many people can say they've found a homeless person passed out in a public restroom?  Maybe a few.  How many people can say they've had that experience twice?  Me.

The first time was a few years ago up at the arcade at the University of Utah.  I watched a homeless person stumble into the women's restroom, but weirder things have happened, so I didn't think much of it.  About 20 minutes later, a woman went into the restroom, and quickly came out laughing.  The police were called, and people began crowding into the restroom to see.  The guy was face down on the floor, with an empty rum bottle in his hand.

Now, the most recent incident was mere minutes ago.  The lights in the restroom at my office are on a timer with a motion sensor.  If the sensor doesn't detect motion for 20 minutes, the lights shut off.  Once someone enters the room, the lights come on.  So I enter the room to do my thing.  The lights flicker on and I see a pair of feet in one of the stalls.  Taking a minute to think, I soon realize that this guy had to have been in there for over 20 minutes.  I speak up and ask if the guy is alright.  I get no answer.  I ask again, this time a little louder, still no answer.  Assuming the worst has happened, (one of our employees has died on the crapper), I hurry out of there and tell the receptionist to call the police.  Our office is on the top floor of the building, so we watch four squad cars and an ambulance pull into the parking lot.  They get up here as quick as they can and head into the restroom.

About 10 minutes later, the cops bring a homeless guy out of the restroom in handcuffs.  Sure enough, he was drunk and seemed rather confused as to where he was.  The cops say they'll keep him over night for public intoxication.

So... how was your morning?

Ferinhert doesn't even make sense. I use it, but the reason for its existance is complete and utter bullshite. "So lets make the 0 the lowest temperture I can make in 1424, out of ice and nitris. That will be my zero, no matter that there are things much, much lower then that I'll just leave it at that. Then I don't feel like having 360 between freezing water and boiling water, because that would be too much. So I'll just do it in 180 degrees."

It sounded like a racoon or a monstrous squirrel, so I got up and raised the blinds there was................ a chicken. I swear, a CHICKEN! Just clucking around being chicken-y.

well actually the accident happend out of state, pennsylvania to be precise, so i got lucky in that regard. the investigating officer did not feel i was drunk or driving wrecklessly, i was not issued any citation or taken in for a blood test. and my insurance covered all damage to all vehicles. luckily no medical expenses from anyone, which is odd, because according to nhtsa i should have broken both my legs (46% chance or greater). on a related note, i just bought a new car today

too small for rugby? 6'5" 280lbs! though I have actually never played the sport.
I don't get back in the pool for Water Polo until July 3rd, but good guess. To lits, of the varsity sports I have played (football, swimming, lacrosse, water polo) I can say with absolute certainty that it's the toughest of those sports. I would put it on the same level as wrestling, but I can't make a personal comparison.
The worst injury I've ever sustained during sex was bite marks (one of them bled)
I've only ever been moutain climbing once, hurt my hands so i didn't like it :-p
Kayda you have obscene thoughts, and I like that, but no.

Well, things around my city just seem to always make strong references to The Matrix.  That's what I meant about the mind creating what it wants to see.  It's probably just coincidence, but I still can't help but wonder.

We have a club named Avalon Theater, like the one in MxO.  During the "Blue Sky" event, a grocery store that I frequent was selling cans of "Blue Sky Soda".  Then of course the "FA" graffiti, which no doubt holds a completely different meaning for the person who did it.  But still, how often do you see those two letters together in every day life?

I'm just glad I finally have a camera phone so I can snap pictures every time it happens.  :)

Indeed, I ate a rather tasty meal at Sakura last week, as well I met a girl named Mara just a couple days ago. I've seen other things that make reference to things we see in the Matrix, but those are the only two I can remember clearly at the moment. Perhaps it is not so much that the real mimics the Matrix, instead it is the other way around. For example, last time I was in Chicago, I noticed this (http://www.ronsaari.com/stockImages/chicago/tribuneBuilding.jpg) building and found it very familiar even though I had never seen it before.

This is from my home town... not sure if I should even mention this, for fear of guilty by association. guilty of really stupid redneck association.

=====================================================
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Jackson police have not said whether a suspect arrested Friday on firearms charges is the man who wore bandages like a mummy when he walked into a bank, jumped the counter, stuffed his clothes with money and escaped on foot.

Montaries Brooks, 26, of Jackson, was being questioned Friday night regarding the robbery and was charged as a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He was being held Saturday in the Hinds County Detention Center.

Police arrested Brooks shortly before noon Friday at an apartment, where a SWAT team had converged shortly after the bank robbery. Sgt. Joseph Wade said the robber walked into the Trustmark Bank on Terry Road, wearing bandages about 10 a.m.

"He was fully bandaged," Wade said, including his face and arms. "The only things they could see were his eyes and lips. He asked a teller for help, then jumped over the counter and began taking money out of the drawer," Wade said.

The robber, who Wade said never showed a weapon, stuffed the money into his clothes and ran. Police would not disclose how much money was stolen.
======================================================

On a similar note, my frehsman year of high school a student who hung around my crowd, but wasn't really friends with us left the school during the 15 min break between 1st and 2nd period. He walked out, walked down the road to a bank outpost in a grocery store, robbed it with a 6-inch pocket knife, and then CAME BACK to school to take his Alegbra I exam. The police found him via a tracker and when asked why there was $2, 400 in his backpack he said: "That's my lunch money."

The whole story made it to the Enquirer magazine, and Jay Leno even did a skit about it the next night.

And you wonder why some yankees think we're idiots. I promise we're not. We just can't keep the stupider of us off the tv!

I had this dream during a nap today:

Now you'll have to follow me on this one: Jack Bauer and E.R. had become one show. Jack Bauer was the head surgeon. There was a team working in the OR, and another one of the surgeons was Subb (as an actor), playing the charachter Anamodiel, who oddly enough, was Puerto Rican. It was Subb's voice and accent, but a Puerto Rican girl's body.

Got it so far? let's recap:
Subb is an actor on the Jack Bauer version of ER playing a female Puerto Rican surgeon who's name is Anamodiel.

Okay, that was the premise, this is the plot:
This particular episode focused on Anamodiel who was having problems with her health or something. And every so often, Subb would sneak little things into the shot that were FA related. Like the FA pin, or a credit card in her wallet that's logo was the FA symbol. Or a framed picture in her house of one of the FA in uniform. In the end of the show the charachter died of air in her bloodstream with no explanation of how it got there :(.

Tell me THAT is not weird as all hell.

Got sent this by one of my staff.  I have explained to them that anything two stars and above, they won't be seeing me in the office

Hangover Ratings

1 star hangover

No pain. no real feeling of illness.  You slept in your own bed and when you woke up there were no traffic cones in there with you.

You are still able to function relatively well on the energy stored up from all those vodka and Red Bulls.

However, you can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel as parched as the Sahara.

Even vegetarians are craving a Cheeseburger and a bag of fries.

2 star hangover

No pain, but something is definitely amiss.  You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler.

The coffee you hug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakfast.

Although you have a nice demeanour about the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is some light filing, followed by aimlessly surfing the net and writing junk e-mails.

3 star hangover

Slight headache. Stomach feels crap.  You are definitely a space cadet and not so productive.

Anytime a girl or lad walks by you gag because the perfume/aftershave reminds you of the random gin shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncer kicked you out at 1:45 am.

Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen doughnuts and a litre of coke watching daytime TV.

You've had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 2 Sausage Rolls and a litre of diet coke yet you haven't peed once.

4 star hangover

You have lost the will to live.  Your head is throbbing and you can't speak too quickly or else you might spew.

Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze.

You wore nice clothes, but you smell of socks, and you can't hide the fact that you (depending on your gender) either missed an oh-so crucial spot shaving, or, it looks like you put your make-up on while riding the dodgems.

Your teeth have their own individual sweaters.  Your eyes look like one big vein and your hairstyle makes you look like a reject from a second-grade class circa 1976.

You would give a weeks pay for one of the following - home time, a doughnut and somewhere to be alone, or a Time Machine so you could go back and NOT have gone out the night before.

You scare small children in the street just by walking past them.

5 star hangover

You have a second heartbeat in your head, which is actually annoying the employee who sits next to you.

Vodka vapour is seeping out of every pore and making you dizzy.

You still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth from brushing your teeth.

Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva, so your tongue is suffocating you.

You'd cry but that would take the last drop of moisture left in your body.

Death seems pretty good right now.  Your boss doesn't even get mad at you and your co-workers think that your dog just died because you look so pathetic.  You should have called in sick because, let's face it, all you can manage to do is breathe ..... very gently.

6 star hangover

You arrive home and climb into bed.

Sleep comes instantly, as you were fighting it all the way home in the taxi.

You get about 2 hours sleep until the noises inside your head wake you up.

You notice that your bed has been cleared for take off and is flying relentlessly around the room.

No matter what you do you now, you're going to chuck.

You stumble out of bed and now find that your room is in a yacht under full sail.

After walking along the skirting boards on alternating walls knocking off all the pictures, you find the toilet.

If you are lucky you will remember to lift the lid before you spontaneously explode and wake the whole house up with your impersonation of walrus mating calls.

You sit there on the floor in your undies, cuddling the only friend in the world you have left (the toilet), randomly continuing to make the walrus noises, spitting, and farting.  Help usually comes at this stage, even if it is short lived.

Tears stream down your face and your abdomen hurts.  Help now turns into abuse and he/she usually goes back to bed leaving you there in the dark.

With your stomach totally empty, your spontaneous eruptions have died back to 15-minute intervals, but your body won't relent.

You are convinced that you are starting to turn yourself inside out and swear that you saw your tonsils shoot out of your mouth on the last occasion.

It is now dawn and you pass your disgusted partner getting up for the day as you try to climb into bed.  She/he abuses you again for trying to get into bed with lumpy bits of dried vomit in your hair.

You reluctantly accept their advice and have a shower in exchange for them driving you to the hospital.

Work is simply not an option.

The whole day is spent trying to avoid anything that might make you sick again, like moving.

You vow never to touch a drop again and who knows for the next two or three hours at least you might even succeed.

Lol... my friend Mike decided to go shot for shot on Jack Daniels with me one night.  (This was back in my prime, Lits, unfortunately, is now a much cheaper drunk, as she has decided that becoming an alcoholic doesn't exactly fit in her five year plan). Anyway, the two of us finished a brand new bottle (bottle = 1 liter). I was so proud of him, he kept up the whole way, until about 3 minites after the last shot.

He spent the rest of the night puking and punching the toilet, (he said it was the toilet's fault he was drunk). So we (4 of us) spent the next 8 hours taking shifts holding his head up and keeping him from getting up to go steal the neighbor's motorcycle and "riding away into the sunset" because he was a "superhero."

I'd consider that a class 7?

When I'm drunk, I get exceedingly romantic and poetic around women. Usually, though, I'll reflect the mood/emotion of the people around me.

Also, I usually become exceedingly humorous (or my attempt at such, rather), and my sense of humor becomes very twisted. But, I digress...we must sit down one night and drink like fish. Though, if we do, we should do it at someone's place. I don't dig on the bar thing...just doesn't seem to be my kind of thing. I like to be in a safe comfortable environment, because I don't trust people usually.

I become EXTREMELY friendly with women, also I become paranoid.

When I heard about this and saw it on tape I was extremely embarrased..... anyhoo, I've been drunk on MxO once or twice. I never go on TS when I'm drunk 'cause I say random things and I'll start swearing like someone with torrets. It's kinda funny when you start shouting at your RSI for interlocking someone because you think your hitting the freefire button but yer not....... *dies from lack of oxigen*

That's what we at Georgia Southern University call a Come-From Behind Win!!!

in my mind a pedophile is someone who finds little girls sexually attractive (little = pre-pubescent). however, lets say a 12 year old girl has hit puberty very fast and could pass as much older. Assuming you didn't know her age, who is society to call a guy a pedophile for thinking she's sexually attractive? A personal example: my girlfriend physically looks virtually the same now as when she was in 7th grade.

Being a guy I check out any good looking woman. Well it just so happens that apparently I have a tough time telling age. To see just how bad, I guess the age of a woman and my girlfriend would "tell" me what her actual age was. When only counting attractive or well put together woman, on the low end of the scale, I thought 12-14 year olds were in fact 18-20 and on the high end I thought 30-40 year olds were in fact 25-28. As a result I've tried to become much more cynical when judging age. So Lits, you're 40!

and to answer your question, it bothered me to think that some of the "girls" i've checked out in the past were probably jail bait.

Funny thing about Hurricanes and my family:

Tropical Storm Chris gave me a bit of a scare.

My mother's name is Camille
I have two uncles: Andrew and Frederick
I have an Aunt Betsy
A cousin David
A grandmother Rita
and my name in Russian is Katrina.

Every family member listed was living in the area hit by their namesake Hurricane.  Each Hurricane's path and destruction seemed eerily similar to the personality of it's corresponding family member.

My little brother's name is Christopher, but thank goodness he's only a youngin of 4. If the name Chris rotates around again in the future, I'm relocating!

My last post was a comment on the image that Vermillion posted.  I was noting the fact that choking on your chicken is not at all uncommon.  I mean, if someone felt the need to make an instructional poster on how to avoid choking your chicken, it must be a pretty common occurance.  In fact, if you're going to get on my case because I choke on my chicken so often, I would have to call into question why it is you don't.  Do you have some anti-chicken choking secret that you are keeping from the rest of the world?  Out with it!

Oh... oh you thought I meant... oh for pete's sake, guys!  Grow up!  :p

Two doctors opened an office in a small town and put up a sign
that read: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology."
 
   The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed
it
to "Hysterias and Posteriors."
 
   This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the
Council
they changed the sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids."  No go.
 
   Next, they tried "Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again.
 
   Then came "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Still no good.
 
   Another attempt resulted in "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again.
 
   So they tried "Lost Souls and Butt Holes." No way.
 
   "Analysis and Anal Cysts?"   Nope.
 
   "Nuts and Butts?" Uh uh.
 
   "Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go.
 
   "Loons and Moons?" Forget it.
 
   Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with:
 
   "Dr Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends."
 
   The town loved it!

If the facebook group got larger then 100,000 by Dec 21 his girlfriend would have a threesome with him. It took 3 and a half days to get 100,000. So the new bet went to 300,000 people and he gets to take pictures. That took just a week. The last part was to become the largest group on facebook (roughly 850,000). But as RogueRed side the group got pwned by facebook and almost all of the other stuff about him did too.

I don't know.  The story is probably on there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now. :)

EDIT: Oh damn!  After the threesome, his girlfriend/wife fell for the girl, and now she's dating the girl.  Ouch.

In all honesty, I thought chicks dig a man with money...? I'm making far more than I should at my age.

I have it worse than most. I went to school and learned a bunch of OOP languages. VB6, C, C++, .NET (VB, C++, C#, J#), J2EE, scripting languages (JavaScript, PHP, ASP), etc...
Then at my interview my manager asked how I felt about COBOL and PL/1 which I had never seen before! I said if your willing to pay me well and train me, I'm ok with it. SO now I have all this OOP experience and am coding in COBOL, PL/1, JCL, and SAS. lol Fucking Legacy systems! I'm planning on leaving this job for a military career in about 1-2 years NOT in programming where I'll make about 10k less than I am now. =(

Lol, Subb you should try acting, think of all the benefits!

1. No garuntee of work, ever!
2. Little pay!
3. Highly competitve atmosphere!
4. Huge amounts of pressure and long hours!
And my personal favorite:
5. The ever near possibility of being beaten out by some Barbie Doll who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, but her boobs are just PERFECT for that corset!

Yeah acting is fun I do local pantomimes... it's really tough. But my definition of acting is "Making a tit out of yourself and no one will laugh" it's not meant in an offensive manner (my cousin's bf thought that). I like it cause I can act a bit better than my class mates; I can make myself cry etc. see, who says only women cry to get what they want? :P

It was a couple parents who were so happy to be getting a new puppy that they were offering up their kids for adoption.  They were worried that the kids would hurt the dog, or that the dog would be more deserving of their attention.  They said that if nobody came to claim the children that they would just dump them on an empty road somewhere.

It was obviously a joke, but it was still funny to read.

Sorry folks, the BEST recipe is for Steak au Poivre.
4 tenderloin steaks, 6 to 8 ounces each and no more than 1 1/2 inches thick
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons whole peppercorns
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup Cognac, plus 1 teaspoon
1 cup heavy cream

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour prior to cooking. Sprinkle all sides with salt.
Coarsely crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle, the bottom of a cast iron skillet, or using a mallet and pie pan. Spread the peppercorns evenly onto a plate. Press the fillets, on both sides, into the pepper until it coats the surface. Set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil. As soon as the butter and oil begin to turn golden and smoke, gently place the steaks in the pan. For medium-rare, cook for 4 minutes on each side. Once done, remove the steaks to a plate, tent with foil and set aside. Pour off the excess fat but do not wipe or scrape the pan clean.

Off of the heat, add 1/3 cup Cognac to the pan and carefully ignite the alcohol with a long match or firestick. Gently shake pan until the flames die. Return the pan to medium heat and add the cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and whisk until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Add the teaspoon of Cognac and season, to taste, with salt. Add the steaks back to the pan, spoon the sauce over, and serve.
==============================

Also, the BEST cooking show is Good Eats. If you haven't seen it, buy the DVDs, seriously. I made this for my Belgium father-in-law who is a total steak snob. He said it was the best steak he's had in America.

BTW, cooking with Cognac = great stuff.

 From CNN.com -

'Matrix' makers to helm 'Speed Racer' film

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- After years of idling, the big-screen, live-action version of "Speed Racer" is ready to zoom, this time with the creators of "The Matrix" at the wheel.

Brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski are writing and will direct the Warner Bros. movie, their first directorial outing since completing the "Matrix" trilogy in 2003.

Based on the classic 1960s series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida that later was retooled for North American audiences, the big-screen "Speed" will follow the adventures of the young race car driver Speed in his quest for glory in his thundering gadget-laden vehicle, Mach 5. The movie will feature other characters from the show, including Speed's family and his mysterious archrival, Racer X.

The film's producer, Joel Silver, has been trying to get the feature version off the ground since the early 1990s; in 2004, Vince Vaughn even pitched a take that cast him as Racer X. When Silver worked on the spring terrorist thriller "V for Vendetta," which the Wachowskis wrote, he approached them about tackling the project. The duo were reluctant to do it unless they could figure out a way to bring something new to the table.

"They are approaching these racing scenes in a way you've never seen before," said Silver, adding that the brothers are designing the movie's look as they write. Silver also said that unlike the more adult-oriented material of the Wachowskis' past -- "Vendetta," the "Matrix" movies and "Bound" were all rated R -- "Speed" will be family-friendly.

"They wanted to do something that could appeal to everybody," said Silver, who produced the "Matrix" films.

The plan is for the Wachowskis to shoot in summer 2007 for a summer 2008 release.

A sha1 key can have b's... anything in the hexadecimal set of numbers. It is also 40 characters... which would work out to the 160 bit encryption.

well i took the liberty of translating it to Decimal, treating it as if it were HEX, and I got this:

after all that nice fun work I found a translator (figures) and if translated to text it makes absolutely no sense.  But just for giggles I will also add the text.

lol no. I am a systems analyst at the corporate headquarters of a very large company. We have about 5 locations in and around this town. The one I work at has about 9 separate buildings connected by tunels and secured doors at every entry. That picture was taken inside the main corprate building durring our CEO's address to the company. Thats what the cameras were there for - with over 16,000 people in the town working for you in over 15 buildings, closed circuit tv is a great asset. That area of the building is 4 floors high - the another section of it is 16 floors. So that tree = about 3 and a half floors.

"Nope, not a mall"

actully if you look at my first post I said that my company has about 16,000, while Verizon is number 2 comming in at about 5k. I guess I don't care - I work at the Corp HQ for State Farm Insurance. And No, I can not help you save a lot of money on your car insurance.

Bored at wal-mart?

Quote

Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are retired, and Mrs. Fenton insists her husband go with her to Wal-Mart. He gets so bored with all the shopping trips. He prefers to get in and get out, but Mrs. Fenton loves to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton gets this letter from Wal-Mart:

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may ban both of you from our stores. We have documented all incidents on our video surveillance equipment. All complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below.

Things Mr. Bill Fenton has done while his spouse was shopping in Wal-Mart:

# June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.
# July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
# July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the ladies rest rooms.
# July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in house wares..... and watched what happened.
# August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
# September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
# September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
# September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to cry and asks, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
# October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.
# November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.
# December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
# December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
# December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yelled "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
# December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumes the fetal position and screams "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"

And last, but not least...
# December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

In fairness to Cisco it's not like they don't indulge in IP Telephony.  So calling a phone iPhone isn't such a strange thing.  It's not like Apple have a copyright on the letter "i".

I don't like Apple, and Cisco are a business partner to my company, so I guess I'm biased :p

Thats very true and thats why Apple might not be able to win the case. But lets face it Cicso didn't just up and say "hey! iPhone that sounds cool lets use it" no it had to be more like "hey! Lets name it iPhone since the iPod had so much commercial success using the iNameHere"

No, the article isn't true... as usual, a StudentPrintz writer thought of an idea that COULD be something worth writing about, went to a research lab, half-listened to what the guy said while fantasizing about his high school lab partner, and then sensationalized on the half he listened to.
I'm telling you, it's the running joke of campus. Last year they did an article on "Hair" (Remeber Hair? Tbone was the lead in it, I was in it, the hippie play about sex and drugs?) yeah, they wrote the critique article BEFORE WE EVEN OPENED. Tell me, how did that happen? So we complained to the editor, then they wrote ANOTHER article saying that the only reason we sold out every night was because hippies and druggies were coming out of the woodwork to see it. By hippies and druggies, one can only assume the deans of the various colleges who saw it multiple times because it was so moving.

The pilots were in the wrong completely. They will have a court martial, be dishonorably discharged, not be executed, but they will spend time in a federal prison and never allowed to fly military aircraft (possibly never civilian aircraft) again.

Many other people up the command chain of these pilots will also be investigated under suspicion of negligence and/or incompetence.

On a personal note, Navy pilots aren't that stupid and I'm damn proud of my brother and his squadron.

If I may interject my proffessional opinion...

THAT is a soprano! Beautiful beautiful voice! I'm putting that on my MP3 player... makes me want to get better speakers to do her performance justice.

But let's not attribute any of that to Andrew Llyod Webber, shall we? He's a talentless jerk who lucked up with one great masterpiece (Phantom) and a slew of rotten shows that somehow stay on Broadway. I mean really... did anyone actually enjoy CATS?...  *sigh* Phantom is awesome, but it's not the Llyod Webber norm.

I totally agree... Christine is supposed to be young and very talented, but not very experienced... Brightman's voice can't disguise it's years and years of experience and Prima Donna quality that Christine is supposed to be the opposite of.

They way the mechanism winds up and fires I do not believe there's too much shaking at launch to cause the can to build up too much pressure. Thus as long as you absorbed the catch, I imagine the beer will still be smooth and delicious. However, I do feel that much needed field testing is required, and I humbly offer my services ^_^

To answer your second question, the mechanism is integrated into the refrigerator and opens a small door on top of it from which it can draw up the beer. Thus as long as the seal is relatively good, the beer should remain cold.

HEY! I got a Beretta too! Its a '95 piece of shit....but it gets me around and I have put that thing through so much crap I don't how it is still going, I even ran it through a fence one time and like today I started it which I have never had a problem with, cept that time the fuel pump died, and it like didn't turn over all that way and the damn engine felt like it jumped out of the hood. Ohh man and then I didn't change the oil on it for like a full year or check any other fluids surprised it lived through that.

My family is Cherokee and the old people in the group talk about "chewing" the leather until it softens up... I assume that you don't want to ruin a new pair of shoes by actually mastacating them, but you could spend some time rubbings them, creasing them, generally mishaping and working the leather until it softens up enough to give a little when you walk.

Kryptos - In 1990, a sculpture was installed at CIA Headquarters in Langley Virginia, as a challenge to the employees at the Agency. Its thousands of characters contain encrypted messages, of which three have been solved, but there is still a fourth section at the bottom consisting of 97 or 98 characters which remains uncracked. The sculpture was created and encoded by Washington DC sculptor Jim Sanborn, using encryption systems designed by the Chairman of the CIA's Cryptographic Center, Ed Scheidt.

Yeah so the baby kept me up all night, and my arm is so sore from carrying that stupid thing around, but I got perfect on it :D Go me.

School sucks.

If I'm not on for a while guys, its cause I'm busy finishing up ISUs and the like.

How do you get a cholicky (sp?) robot baby?

The teacher can program the baby to have the "symptoms" of some common baby diseases, like colic. The baby will do whatever it is babies do when they have diseases...Unless it's some poor matter of the skin, like eczema..They can't simulate that.

My baby didn't have colic or anything. Thankfully, my teacher (much to her detest) gave me an easy baby because I had other ISUs and the like due the next day.

The babies are called "Baby-Think It Over" and the whole idea for the program is designed to deter students from having sex at an early age.

There really should give the baby before kids start having sex.

A friend of mine is doing a Disney Musical showcase, and I'm not a very experienced singer, so I thought'd I try out for it. I'm the only alto in the cast, so I'm in this song (I didn't even know there WAS a Mulan II) as the little girl in yellow...thought'd I share:

It's a little cutesy, but I can be cutesy :)

haha.. well.. I just got my grade back for my second level math class...
First he gave me a 0 for a 30 point assignment and had my grade at 78.9. But in the grade summary for the assignment he gave me full credit. I sent him an email pointing out the mistake.. Two days later.. aka now.. he sent me a reply..
Not only did he fix the 30 point assignment (the reason it affected my grade was because you can get a total of 1000 points.. so 30 makes it go from C to B..) he gave me 30 points on two other assignments that I didn't even turn in..
So.. instead of just bringing it up to a B- like I intended he accidentally raised it to a B+.. MWAHAHAHa... I am now ecstatic.

Pfft.  As any member of Eviglios knows, you never kill a ninja.  They just let you think you did

Things Billy hates about everybody else

1. People who point at their wrist while asking
for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the f**k is yours?
Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a**e to search the entire
room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the
channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".
Fu**ing right! What good is a cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look".
Of course it is. Why the f**k would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do
this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?".
No to**er, I paid £8 to come to the cinema and stare at the fu**ing floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?". Didn't really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then
there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

8. When people say "life is short". What the f**k?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever fu**ing does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?".
If the bus came would I be standing here, nobhead?

Not entirely true, but speaks to the point I always make, which is that any scientist that isn't a skeptic of the causes behind global warming or the long term models isn't really a scientist.

Global warming is an interesting topic but I have to side with there is nothing unusual going on. There have been huge climate shifts throughout earth's history. It's nature, even more it is physics, it's the earth trying to balance the equations...
Title: randomness
Post by: Da6onet on April 12, 2007, 04:52:37 pm
Indeed Lithium, which is why when reading the latest issue of Newsweek and reading the transcript from a recent Gingrich and Kerry debate I was so pissed off. Newsweek quotes in large font the phrase "Even the staunchest skeptics of global warming can't deny Earth's average temperature has been rising recently" right in the middle of a 12 page article only discussing Anthropogenic Global Warming and how we're all screwed unless we stop using coal and oil immediately, like in ten minutes! Yes the average temperature is rising, but that doesn't mean catastrophe, nobody knows exactly why it's happening or how to predict the future. Me thinks a bit one sided point of view, great journalism!

They even have a page on "How to speak with your scared children about global warming" Give me a fucking break!

The global greenhouse effect is a misnomer, anthropogenic global warming is a hypothesis and further more, by 1970, everyone thought we were headed into an ice age.

You want to save the planet, get an education and think for yourselves. Cleaner fuel/energy is good because it cuts down pollution (photochemical smog), a literally visible and measurable problem (anyone here from LA?).

Nice job Ana! Good luck tomorrow!

I only got a 26. Made two perfect scores in Reading and English, bumbled my way through Science, and passed the Math portion by one lucky little point.

What was your best subject?




*edit* I say only, but then again I only took it once and that was with a hangover... didn't matter to me though, at my college (my first choice) the next scholarship bracket was a 32+ and I didn't think I was ever going to get up that high

My friend got a 35 on the ACT and a 2300/2400 on the SAT. She's looking at MIT.

I have yet to take my SAT. My best subjects were apparently science and reading. I could have sworn that I guessed on at least 70% of the Science, but I got a 95%. Math was my worst subject (got a 23). Stupid Geometry. That is the ONE class that I do not get.

I don't agree with the new SAT format with the essay (formally the SAT II Writing test).

Luckily I took mine before they changed (suckers!)
I got a 1360 on my SAT's (720M 680V)

Try to keep things in perspective about ACTs and SATs, the tests were originally designed for farmer kids in the Midwest to see if any of them were smart enough for Ivy League/Private Universities.

With the modern system, the scores aren't really providing a gauge of your brains and potential, they're just part of the over all financial picture. The higher the score, the less money you have to pay out of pocket for college (in  theory).

So there I was, partying it up at Bar Chicago. I was on a VIP list.
At 11:25pm I was in the bathroom and I felt a vibrating in my pocket...nothing new, my phone does that! It was from a friend who was downstairs and a message read "They just said can Brian Smith please see Lindsey at the bar" I'm thinking I get a free shot or something, right? I ask for her and she hands me a small piece of paper similar to what you find inside a fortune cookie; and on it I read this:

I sometimes wonder at what I get out of my Catholic education. I like to think that I take challenging courses; however, I also like to like to schedule at least one blow-off class so I can do all the homework that is due that day so I don't have to do much the night before. My first semester class was a Basic Web Page Design class; we learned how to do basic web-pages in Macromedia. For my second semester class, I had signed up for Internet Exploration. Yes, Internet Exploration. It was basically a study hall and a propaganda class against the "evils of Wikipedia"; I didn't want to take something like that that I would be entirely bored in. So, I switched some of my hours around and took a basic Video Production course (Media class). So far, it's been a study hall, but I've at least learned how to work in Adobe Pro Premiere and Windows Movie Maker.

The first video our group made was a Crocodile Hunter parody. It was called the Hallway Hunter "hunting" the elusive students of our school. We haven't made any other movies yet, though, but we're currently working on a stop-action movie (clay-mation, except with people, taking individual shots and then putting them into a fast video), so I'm not very experienced in editing.

However; I'm making this post for a reason. I need some inspiration for a final project as a semester exam. My only constraint is that it has to be a real-time movie, so I can't do any MXO in-game footage (sadly).

Any ideas?

Can anyone explain what the big deal is?  And how the oil doesn't short the electronics? Maybe lead me to a FAQ for oil-cooling?

That's nuts.  I want to learn as much as I can about it.  Maybe I'll do that for my new system.

Also a higher specific heat capacity than air (little more than 2x I believe) which translates into being able to absorb more heat.

My student ID is based of the number of students wishing to enroll, every time a potential student makes contact with the school they get a student ID number, and it always increases only by one, and mine is only 6 digits long with two leading zeros, that might be used for a new student by the time I graduate from here.

And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life." - This is from the Goonies

French bread last night. Didn't take any snapshots of it though cause my family basically removed it from existence. Quickly.


Tempura.

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y212/sared_k/HPIM0829.jpg)

Starting from the top: Bell pepper (had orange, red, and green), sweet potato, squash, broccoli, chicken, shrimp, and onions. I also had eggplant but it went quickly.

Heat a few cups of peanut oil in the base of a wok. Only enough oil to cover one side or another of each item, but not submerge. In bowl, mix water and pastry flour with chopsticks so that it is not completely smooth, but still has small clumps of flour in it. dip three items at a time MAX into the batter and cook, one side at a time in the heated oil. Vegetables should take no longer than 30-45 seconds. Meats should take no longer than 2 minutes tops. With hardier vegetables (carrots, celery), cook until desired tenderness has been reached, without burning batter. The end result, regardless your morsel of choice, should be tender on the inside, and a crispy outside dipped in the 'sauce'.

Mix one part (half cup) sake, one part oil, and two parts soy sauce with one part (tablespoon) grated ginger, with two parts sugar. Serve alongside as dipping sauce.

The way I did this, I moved the kitchen island (more of a skinny, tall, stainless steel workbench) over next to the kitchen table and took everyone's orders. Served sticky rice on the side to go with, but most everyone got full from what they ordered. :)

Nah, really the mixture was based off another dip (I cut out the wasabi) and I basically went nuts and experimented with. The key is the grated ginger being brought out by the sugar, both of which are catalyzed by the contrast of the soy/sake.

Never seen House, heard of it and seen previews though. Looks good, but normally I'm watching Scrubs. Its probably the only TV I ever bother watching nowadays. Doctor Cox is my hero. The man can deliver a mile-long monologue skewering you the whole way through.

History is UK history on the riots in the 1830's etc because of the government rejecting a voting petition.

Nothign wrong with some planes. =)
Here are a couple videos. The first was taken with a real digital camera of a little move the Blue Angels did, but my favorite vid was taken on my phone of Fat Albert (the Blue Angels C-130 transport) demonstrating a JATO takeoff. JATO=Jet Assisted TakeOff. 8 solid rocket motors strapped to a large cargo plane makes it go 45 degrees into the air pretty damn qickly.

Rockford, IL airshow.
The next one I'm looking forward to is the Peoria one - that's about a 45 minute drive for me. http://www.prairieair.org/
So far I just know they're having the F-16 east demo team, a super hornet demo (worth the drive and entry admission alone), Mig-17 demo, and a P-51 there as well. Plus all the general time fillers they always have (golden knights, Angel 7, Jet Truck/Outhouse) Last year they had a B-2 do a bunch of fly-bys, two F-117's do a few flybys (2 of them at a show=rare) and a great A-10 demo.

That made me feel really bad for her. No matter what she's done, she should never be made fun of like that. She is a human being, after all. She may not totally act like it, but, seriously, how would you feel if you were going to jail, EVEN IF YOU DESERVED IT? I would be scared and sad. I cannot imagine the feels that she would be feeling right there.

No matter how much someone deserves it, you should never make fun of someone for their situation. EVER.

Bullshit... Bill Gates and Angelina Jolie have good publicity people that they work with.  Paris Hilton has good publicity people that she works against.

Her life must be pretty fucked already, being one of the first major people to be famous for nothing more than being seen around other wealthy people - it's little wonder she's ended up the way she has.  She doesn't deserve that though, that's just plain cruel.

Post by: Heironymus on June 05, 2007, 04:33:06 pm
Destyn.. she doesn't work against them.. they work for her very hard.. she would be WAYYY in the negative if it wasn't for them.. but because they work so hard for her and try to negate the negative she is just a slight joke to everyone instead of a nuisance.. and ANA... Honestly.. she deserves whatever the hell happens to her.. she drove drunk.. got her license suspended... continued to drive.. got caught.. paid a fine.. then DROVE AGAIN.. repeated ignorance deserves no leniency.. she can claim she didn't know all she wants.. someone else doing it other than a rich celeb and they would be in jail for MONTHS.. not a month.. its ridiculous...
Sarah Silverman always pushes the envelope.. Paris just happened to be the topic of todays celeb stupidity.. to bad for her.. bad timing perhaps..

Post by: Jeyk on June 05, 2007, 05:28:55 pm
My .02 cents on this all is that many of these celebs are talentless trash with too much money.  

I'm generally an empathetic individual, but I do have my own opinions and views, a trait shared by every individual here.  Silverman picked an easy target, and it was entertaining.  Hilton's a worthless whore anyway. She'll live.  :D

Title: randomness
Post by: Lits on June 05, 2007, 06:52:34 pm
You all have good points, for and agaist her, and personally I can't stand her. I think she makes the entire female half of the species look bad. When men find her attractive it demeans everything a real woman has ever done to deserve respect. HOWEVER... she lives in a world of backstabbing and publicity and false EVERYTHING. You can't trust your own mother in a lifestyle like that. You are constantly playing the game, constantly on your gaurd. To be brought down completely defenseless like that in front of a huge crowd of cheering damners is horrible. I don't care who you are, you can probably put yourself in her shoes for a second and feel your heart seize. I don't think outsiders can really grasp the true meaning of it... imagine a world where everyone you know is constantly looking for a way to break you down. Imagine having to live in a world where every move you make, every outfit, every word, every freaking syllable has to be carefully monitered so you don't give anyone any possibility of using it against you in the future. Even your closest 'friends' you can't trust them... they'll turn on you quicker than lightening. So of course you're going to go crazy with it every now and then. Of course you're going to act out. Most people handle it better than she does, but really. Maybe I've just spent too much time in the theatre. But that is like my worst nightmare... every enemy you have ganging up on you and swaying the weak ones to their side? I can't STAND Paris, and I still feel sorry for her. As much as I can't stand her and her lack of talent, compassion, and soul.... I probably would have stood up fo her in that auditorium.

I'm going to leave out the drunk driving arguement because, although drunk drivers deserve more than what she's getting IMO, we all know Sarah Silverman did not embarass her publicly just to make up for the lack of punishment from the authorities. She did it because it was an easy target. If she HAD been trying to make a statement against leniency towards celebrities, perhaps I would have felt different about the roast, but such was not the case.

Hilton screamed.

Eight deputies immediately ordered all spectators out of the courtroom. Hilton’s mother, Kathy, threw her arms around her husband, Rick, and sobbed uncontrollably.

Deputies escorted Hilton out of the room, holding each of her arms as she looked back.


Can you feel that burning despair, bitch? Huh? Can you feel it? God what I would have paid to have been there to watch it all unravel. I would have brought along some root beer and some ice cream and would make floats in the courtroom. No goddammit, I'm not sharing.

I saw. I bought a skyhawk tonight. Drove about an hour to find the specific one I wanted too. It's a bit more slim than the blackhawk I posted on my site (I have small wrists), but with all the same functions and in Titanium. To make it even sweeter, I got it 45% off. a $500 watch for $300. =)

Fossil?  How did you get that, Manic?  Is it programmable?
Title: randomness
Post by: Manic Velocity on June 20, 2007, 02:44:38 pm
Got it about four years ago.  The official name that Fossil used is "Negative Display Watch".  I think only a certain number were made, because I can't find them anywhere anymore.  I'd like to have another one in case mine breaks.

It's a very limited piece, considering what I paid for it.  The code display can be frozen with the push of a button, and the watch hands glow in the dark, but that's pretty much it.

Although it would be a nice class to take, it's kind of hard to grade it objectively. You either have to have a really good teacher, get on the teacher's good side, or just spit back out the teacher's interpretation.

I wish I could check my AP grades. They came out yesterday, but you have to pay 8 dollars if you want to call in and get your scores. Or, I can wait three weeks for them to mail it to me. I really want to know how well that I did (especially because my SAT II Subject Tests went wonderfully) on the AP tests. I would die of happiness if I get 4's or better on all of them.

Should I pay 8 dollars to get them checked today or wait three weeks until it arrives at my house in the mail for free?
Title: randomness
Post by: Anonymous on July 02, 2007, 05:56:39 pm
It's eight dollars to satisfy your curiosity (and possibly quicken the process of you doing them again, if that's possible). My question is...what's the downside of not paying the eight dollars? Do you need the money for something else?

Saw it last night and from the moment I heard Peter Cullen's voice as Optimus I was hooked.  just spent morning on Ebay looking for Gen1 Transformers  I was very pleased that they kept Peter as the voice of Optimus, it brought back a small bit of my childhood AUTOBOTS, ROLLOUT.  As for the rest of the movie I thought It was fantastic, that young kid I thought was a very good actor and the story was pretty well put together.  My only beef with the movie was it seemed for a major part of it, the camera was too close to the action; there was too much on the screen so you didn't know where to focus.  I wont go into any detail about the plot but I'll be the first to say that the special effects were outstanding.  So go see it already.

I completely agree on all points, especially the camerawork. I suppose I expect that because it makes it more realistic' and also hides any flaws with the rendering, but I was still very very impressed. I also don't feel like they relied on the special effect for the whole movie - tere was also a decent plot.

I'm a camp councilor at a Recreation Center located 15 minutes away from my house, by car. I get paid $9.53 an hour and I work eight hours a day, over the summer. I get paid to play games with children ages 6-12. For a teenager, I think I have one of the best part time jobs in the world...

And today is my leader day....This is a day where I get to program the activities. Im so incredibly nervous, but so incredibly excited too!

Last year, my two leader days were disasters. My staff did nothing all day, and I had to do everything, and I failed, and they wrote a list of what I did wrong and gave it to my boss. Lucky me, she ripped it up and gave them shit.

And that is a detailed account of what I do during the summer.

No, I only have about 10 hours total so far...and even that is Dual time. I need at least 40 hours to get my Private Pilots Licence (Why is it when I type P-P-L it says "PPL") then when I have 60 I can test for my instrument rating. I do plan on doing that, but it won't be for a few months. I'll update my blog about it tomorrow. http://www.lostlocalhost.com

Just seen harry potter and in the words of voldemort:

"I confess myself.... disappointed"

I just feel that the film didn't give much. The Ministry of Magic scenes at the end were awesome! There's much more to HP fighting than what meets the eye, it's not just pointing wands; it was amazing. Kreacher was handled beautifully so was Luna. They could've done more with the DA and maybe some quidditch.

My 2 cents; 4 out of 5 (I thought I would be giving it 5/5)
Title: randomness
Post by: Anamodiel on July 12, 2007, 09:22:30 am
Dolores Umbridge was also exquisite! I was very happy with her character.

This movie could have been put into a 3 hour and 15 minute movie and probably would have been more capturing.

The part that I was most disappointed with was the final scene between Harry and Dumbledore... It was so underdramatic and only 30 seconds long. Jesus Christ, it was nearly two chapters in the book! We didn't get any yelling or screaming or see any real there... just the explanation from Dumbledore. It didn't feel right at all.

There was no mention of prefects. No St. Mungo's. We never saw Neville's parents. We never had any real sympathy for him. There was no time to build up tension about Harry's possible expulsion. There was about 110 pages of buildup in the book while they were at Grimmauld Place. The first 20 minutes of the film felt wasted. There was so much in Grimmauld that could have been showed.

While it was very good in it's own right as a movie alone, too much was taken out from the book for me to think of it as an excellent adaption. It was only an adequate adaption.
Title: randomness
Post by: Pirus on July 12, 2007, 09:32:10 am
that is why you never read the book first.  You gather up expectations that are sure to fall short when the movie is released.  As far as im concerned the book doesn't exist and the movie is all there is.  So in that point of view the movie was great.  But, I do agree with Subb quidditch should be in every movie lol it rocks.
Title: randomness
Post by: Subb on July 12, 2007, 10:24:33 am
Exactly, so much revolves around it.... Pirus (Harry being banned from it etc.) Also, Mungos.... I can see why that was cut, but you do see Neville's parents in the picture. Even as the macho man I am, I found Sirius' death very sad

SPOILER:

Anyone take note of what luna said at the end? "My mum always used to say that when you lose things, they'll always turn up when you don't expect them" J.K Rowling said that there's a hint in the film of what happens in the 7th one. My guess: Sirius is back for the 7th book.

Nerp, JK Rowling said to Dan Radcliffe on set that Dumbledore was giving her issues and when he asked if he'd be coming back she said no he's dead but it's a little more complicated than that. Think about it, she's refused to comment on Sirius but put her hands down about Dumbledore being dead. Aaaannnndddd, she nearly let slip about harry's heritage... or shall I say ancestor? :)

I somehow get the feeling that her answers to the Dumbledore question had been rehearsed a long time. She has a loophole somewhere in what she's saying... We just haven't figured it out yet. There is just too much against evidence to the otherwise saying that Dumbledore is not dead.

Oh, and you must mean Harry being the ancestor of Godric? That's very possible.

Post by: Tecknik on July 12, 2007, 01:41:55 pm
I haven't read any of the books.  I just enjoy the movies. :)

My girlfriend and her mother have both read all the 6 books out as of now, and have complained about all 4 movies thus far.  

To me, it's just seems stupid to ever think that a movie adaptation will be anything close to what has been portrayed in a book the movie is based on.

You can't fit 800+ odd pages into a two and a half hour film in it's entirety.  Directors, storywriters, and producers have to pick and choose key moments that they think are the most important, even sometimes shortening moments that people feel should have been longer, or more drawn out.  It happens.  That's movie-making.

For people to get upset about it at this point, when there have been so many books-to-movies in which the same thing always happens, is just ridiculous.

I agree, in most cases. However, the final scene between Dumbledore and Harry was one of the most important scenes in the entire series of novels... and for it to only get about a minute of face really mad me sad, especially because this is the shortest movie of the entire series... and it's the longest book so far. They could have at least had that full scene in there.

I agree Ana, it was maddening... but I like the 3rd, 4th and now 5th film the most. The 4th imo was the best adaptation. I would have rathered a 3 hour film tbh with you.

Two things I wish to mention... First.. the only thing I was dissapointed in was the fact that they took out the nametag at the ministry saying "Harry Potter: Rescue Mission." Because that is FUNNY..
secondly.. is it just me or does it seem that Emma Watson didn't do a very good job in this movie.. she seemed to pause between lines and when queued. Rubert and Daniel are getting good (probably because they are doing other things in between HP films.. where Emma isn't.. ) thats just my two cents.

Incorrect. What you described is called "dual time". I've been doing dual time for all my lessons. I did the taxi/takeoff and all air maneuvers my first time, and I assisted him in landings until the last lesson or two when I started doing them on my own.

Solo is when you fly...solo. I took the pictures and video myself. It's easy to do. Right hand hits start and hold the camera, while my left flys the plane. My father asked the same thing. I just realized you can see the reflection of my hand and cameraphone in my glasses on one of the pics.

It looks like a real copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked to the internet.

I implore each and every one of you to NOT reveal anything to me. You will see a side of me that you have never seen before. I swear to God, I will do terrible stuff to you if you reveal to me ANYTHING that happens in the book. ANYTHING.

There will be hell to pay if any spoilers are leaked to my eyes because of any of you trying to be "funny". I almost had Half Blood Prince ruined for me, and I will be damned if that is to happen for the FINAL Harry Potter book. This series means everything to me, and if any of you try and ruin the final outcome...

Worse comes to worse, I will exile myself from the internet until I finish reading. I hope that won't happen.

:O I take that Kayda comment personally. :D

I've been reading these books forever now. By the time I was in 5th grade (2001) the first four books about 7 times. This got me into reading the Lord of the Rings, the Chronicles of Narnia, and the Artemis Fowl series. By the time the fifth book had come out, I had read them more than I can now remember. I devoured the 5th and 6th books within hours of their release and read and re-read and re-re-read and re-re-re-read the 5th and 6th books too many times to remember because I like the series so much.

I said what I said because I have not put all that dedication, time, and energy into reading and debating people to have the real ending spoiled by someone trying to be funny.

I'm sorry if I came off as pissy... I was trying to show my seriousness. I've stopped myself going to some of the sites that I frequent because there would be people over there that would do such a thing as ruin a book. This is one of the places that I will still go because I trust you guys.

Nah, FH = Fallen Horizon, good allies on Recursion. DarkGhst and I have recently had a similar experience and we were talking about it (in RL would have been the equivalent to drinking with a buddy to forget our painful mistakes). I wanted to quantify one of his metaphors because it helped me feel better.

In the picture, the blue person has destroyed the bridge with his tnt. I couldn't really figure out a way to show both the blue and pink figures as injured, but the point is the pink person has built a wall for future protection against any such explosions and is walking away. Whether or not the pink person uses the box labeled "bridge repair kit" is open to speculation, but it is clear that box of parts is not on the blue person's side and the situation saddens the blue person.  (also click on the picture for an associated song)

Like I said though, I wish I was a better artist, but what do you expect at 5am and buzzed :-p

I would always buy the latest and greatest Apple product about a month before they would come out with a better, cheaper model.  Pissed me off to no end.  And I damn near ended up in the same boat as your brother this time around.

I've been trying to transfer my copy of GTA:SA to my Xbox hard drive and I guess the disk is scratched because I can't get these three files.

AUDIO\SFX\SCRIPT
AUDIO\SFX\SPC_GA
AUDIO\STREAMS\MR

Any one with a modded Xbox who can get these files to me? (I have proof I own the game, I'll take pictures of the game, receipt, and a newspaper if you want. I just like the load times off the hard drive.)


As it turns out the PC version of these files would work too. Anyone willing to share?

So how many of you remember ReBoot, the old CG cartoon. Well their trying to bring it back. Right now its just being made into a webcomic, but if enough interest is sparked they'll make 3 movies, and maybe complete season 4. So if you want to jump into the ship follow the linkage

I got a Vizio 26" LCD HDTV as an early birthday present. :D

Now I have to go out and spend $100+ on high-def cables. LOL!

Need a DVI-to-HDMI for my PC, and the component cables for my PS2 (which also work for PS3 - though I'll use HDMI when I get a PS3).  Maybe the components for Gamecube, but they have been discontinued a long while ago and are hard to find.  Maybe even the VGA cable for my Dreamcast. :D

Oh hell no, I'm going to be all over RE5.  

I'm a huge RE fan, and RE:UC is going to fill in quite a few key plot gaps in the series, thus making it essential, which is the primary reason I purchased the Wii.  I'm just hoping I can enjoy some other games on it as well.

Technik -
If there is a Big Lots store near you (closeout store), you can get gold-plated HDMI cables for $12 (GE brand, I think).  They might have DVI to HDMI...I'm sure it varies by location.  Definitely take a look at them if you want to save some $$.

Double post...

So I get the HD component cables for my PS2, only to find out that a very small percentage of PS2 games over anything over 480i.  There are a few that offer 480p, like Resident Evil 4, and a few others that even offer 720p and 1080i.  Some games also offer a 16:9 widescreen option, like Resident Evil 4.  I'm kind of sad that none of the Metal Gear games offer Progressive Scan. :(

So, in English, most games look like crap, AKA jagged as all hell, when using the component cables.  Looks like I'll have to switch between component and S-Video, depending on what I want to play.  Hopefully I can at least watch DVDs with Progressive Scan. :(

From what I've noticed so far, I'm the only person on the planet who didn't absolutely love it.  I thought it was filled with a lot of cheap-and-easy jokes.  It's the first Family Guy episode that I rolled my eyes at.

I thought the final 30 seconds of the episode was the only redeeming moment.  The exchange between Peter and Chris was hilarious, and doubled by the fact that not everyone got the joke.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if Seth McFarlane and Seth Green had a bet going to see which Star Wars episode on their respective shows could pull the most viewers.

Maybe I just have unreasonably high standards for comedy.  Which is odd, because I grew up on The Three Stooges.  :p

I'll give you the Canadian Stormtrooper.  That was the lol's.  I still can't imitate that accent without cracking up.

But the R2D2 Cleveland with the gun and the bag of weed (he's black, we get it), C3PO Quagmire having sex with an old Dot Matrix (I've always thought Quagmire was too over the top), Leia's labored encoding of the "Help me Obi Wan" recording, Han Solo griping about the Imperial fighter flying while talking on his cell phone.  All really easy jokes.

I was going to complain about Chewbacca's "Always gargle before takeoff" comment as pretty low-brow humor, but the "Wakka wakka" right after it completely saved it.  I was pleased.

It had some good points.  Star Wars + Family Guy definitely = good times.  There were just moments when I felt the writers could have tried a bit harder.

Pink Eye is basically an eye irratation that causes your eyes to be Red or sometimes a pink color.  Naturally your eye or eyes itch very bad and you want to rub them every chance you get.  Its highly contagious so if you touch someone after rubbing your eyes they could easily get it as well.  Its a very common illness.  Normally caused by allergies or bacteria of some sort.  So my comment of touching a door knob was mearly me trying to get others infected.. I'm such a wonderful person huh? lol

The only way to go is to ask a girl to go with you. Girls are not allowed to ask guys to Homecoming.

However, the Winter dance is a girl-ask-guy affair.

Why I will never visit Digg.com again:

1. According to the pot smoking Digg kids the US are just demonizing Ahmadenijad so we can start a war and that he really isn't a bad guy.

2. Every 38 seconds another person gets arrested for marijuana. 300 Digg kids comment on how the US should stop enforcing drugs and focus on winning wars and relationships with other countries. Like that a a fucking thing to do with drug enforcement.

I can't stand it anymore. I want the old digg back before 'this much' bullshit.

OUR Homecomming was the dance to celebrate the first HOME football game, hence HOMEcomming. And yes, girls are allowed to ask guys, what is this? The 19th century? Prom is the end of the year dance, usually only for upperclassmen (Juniors or Seniors) if you weren't, you had to be invited as a date by one. I went all four years of high school, cause I'm cool like that. Prom is a big freaking deal... full length formal gowns, a dj or band, a rented out space (for ours we would rent out a club overlooking the Resevoir, which was beautiful through huge picture windows under the stars. We had caterers and a Karaoke room, as well as the dance room and sitting room). I miss prom, lol.

Melting Pot owns.  And jesus christ, one person is buying for 21 people?  You can easily split a course between 4 people, but even so, they're pushing 200 bucks on a dinner that they won't even be eating.  That's not including dessert.  You kids better be on the floor kissing their feet.

But yeah, homecoming is lame compared to prom.  Nobody should be that happy to be back in school.  :p

Prices are outrageous but great food... unless you're starving to death.  I always say its a great place to go eat unless your really really hungry, in which case you need to go where the food gets cooked for you.

Guess that's what I get for living in a rich town? :shrug: On top of all the rich, snobbish people. :)


I went to Homecoming my Freshmen year...  I vowed never to go again.  What a damn waste of money that was.  I went to Prom my senior year.  That wasn't as bad.  I had a lot of fun the next year at my ex-girlfriend's prom.  She was a year younger.  Different town, different school, much cooler people. :)  For my Prom, her dad let me use his Chrysler 300C.  I had wrecked my first car months earlier.  For her Prom, her and a bunch of friends rented a Hummer H2 limo.

My mom just told me that I'm driving the X5 to the dance. O_O (:D)

See, for me, the dance is the least fun part of the entire night. Going out to dinner and the after-parties are so much more fun.

Our school (as it's Catholic), heavily censors a majority of the music that they play. No swear words, no mentions of sex, stripping, alcohol, or drugs. They also don't use the "clean" versions of songs because people can fill in the blanks with the bad word. They don't even let us grind!

Our school is fucked up. :)

I needed to send something anonymously through Amazon, but the US site doesn't let you do that (the UK one does).  The only way round it would be to find someone with a card registered to a PO box so when the receipt went to the recipient they wouldn't know who really sent it.

Of course, that would mean that the PO Box might get crammed up with return gifts, so maybe not such a good idea :p

Three top-of-the-line plasma TVs (a 52" and two 47") with wall mounts and accompanying HDDVD players, cables, heavy duty surge protectors, a Dyson vaccum, an external power supply for her computer... and... my god I can't even remember the rest.

A percentage of the price went towards delivery, because the TVs she wanted weren't in stock.  And even if they were, she couldn't possibly fit them all into her Honda Pilot.

She's having a cabin (it's really more like a mansion made of logs) built up in the mountains out here, and she's outfitting it with the most insane myriad of gadgets.  She's even buying a Wii for it.  Some of the things she's having installed I didn't even know existed.  But the TVs will be trucked out in the coming weeks.

She asked me to accompany her to Best Buy as her electronics consult in case the sales rep tried to sling some bullshit at her, which he did, and I had the distinct pleasure of calling him on it.

I asked her if she wouldn't mind dropping an extra $1200 on a new iMac for me.  I figured that's just pocket change for her, but she refused.  :(

C'mon man, you're not even trying anymore!

Let's see... one gadget she's having installed in this cabin is heated floors and a heated driveway, so she never has to shovel snow.  This wouldn't be such a big deal if the whole cabin weren't computerized and connected to its own phone line.  But we all know that mountain retreats which aren't computerized are soooo sub-par.  :p

So she can be out in the city and decide she wants to visit the cabin.  But it just snowed the night before, and the place is probably frozen over.  All she has to do is pick up her cell and dial a number.  She inputs a certain code, and the heater at the cabin clicks on.  In the hour and a half it takes her to drive from the city to the cabin, the driveway will be clear of snow and ice, and the cabin itself will be toasty warm.

OH MY SWEET LORD JESUS SITTING IN A MANGER!

Quote
I'm hoping to talk with some people about the situation as a whole since there is quite a bit more to this.


Raijinn responded to my PM about my thread!

I will only get excited on the MXO forums, however, once something comes to fruition.

Edit: He responded again... I had replied to his first thing stating something along the lines of "Thank you very much. However, I will continue to update my thread until a majority of the issues are resolved."

Quote
Everything may not be resolved and that is an honest answer. There isn't a whole lot I really can say or do for that matter to resolve some of the concerns since they are out of my hands. I am hoping that we can share some information though.


I really don't like the sound of that, at all. It sounds like they're going to be shutting down MXO soon...

This stays in the faction. I will know that someone from here has leaked it if it gets out because I have not said anything to anyone else. DO NOT LEAK THIS.

You obviously don't keep up on the MXO boards.

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?topic_id=36300017098

I asked him to respond to my thread, and he finally has.

Another PM: I basically said that the way he worded it made it sound like MXO was being shut down, how Walrus is probably no longer the Producer, and how it would be better if they were upfront with us, rather than distant like they have been.

Quote
I can say that I have not heard of any plans to shut down MxO, that is one thing. The other stuff I really can't comment on at this point but I am hoping that we can share more information regarding other things going on.


Well, I guess I misinterpreted his previous PM. However, there is something wrong. Something major has changed in the MXO department.. we're just waiting to hear exactly what it is. My money is on Walrus no longer being the Producer.

Again, keep this to yourself. Don't mention the contents of these PM's in any way to ANYONE. This stays in faction.

This is the exact same crap he's been pulling with his "Week In Review" bullshit.  "I'm hoping we can that we can share more information regarding other things going on."  The fuck does that mean?  He hopes he can share information?  Either he can or he can't, there's no grey area.

He's still dodging the issue.  My guess is he's being transferred to another project.  I can only hope that Rarebit is appointed in his place because he's the only guy left on that team that has any idea at all of what the game is about, and what it means to the community.

I was a little miffed when I first read that, too, Manic. However, SOE's policy on staffing is a no-no when it comes to telling us. Remember, we never found out about HCFrog. We surmised it ourselves. We didn't officially find out about Walrus being Producer and CRM for quite a while.

I told him that I'd give him a week and a half to divulge some information about what the fuck is going on (that gives him two Fridays). If he does not post anything, I will post the contents of the PM's for the Matrix forums to contemplate.

Also, I've lined Mave up to go to the LA Meet and Greet. I'm sure that he'll be able to get some answers from at lease one of the CRM's, if not Raijinn himself. I will tell him to get answers to specific questions (it happens the 18th, a week from today). If nothing is posted on that Friday, then I will post all of the answers to the questions that Mave asked.

If nothing also comes up by the end of next week, I'm going to create a signature that everyone on the Forums can use.

I'm not giving up in any way... I'm just taking a break so Raijinn can possibly post some stuff. If he doesn't, I'll be even more snarky.

Be aware that they can probably take disciplinary action against your account for that.  I don't think Raijinn is stupid enough, although I personally think he does have his head way up his ass, to think that conversations in PM's actually stay private.  But I doubt he'd appreciate the contents of his PM's being displayed publicly.  

Frankly, I don't think he deserves anymore leway.  He's had nearly two months to type up three to four paragraphs of development news.  If he doesn't want to do his job, or he can't do it for whatever reason, then they need to find someone who will.  Rarebit has been the most consistent player on the team since Walrus left.  My opinion of the guy is touch and go, but for christ's sake, at least he puts in a minimum of effort.  Raijinn can't even do that anymore.

I swear, that guy must have the easiest job in the world.  He has nothing to do with the game's actual development.  Rarebit and 9mmfu handle all of that.  He has nothing to do with the storyline or live events.  Rarebit and Chadwick handle that.  He has nothing to do with enforcing the games terms of use.  Brewko and the CSRs handle that.  He has nothing to do with managing the website.  Rarebit and the web team handle that.  He has nothing to do with managing the forums (save for that god awful "Announcements" block).  Rarebit, the web team and the mods handle that.

All Raijinn has to do is occasionally talk with the people from Massive to ensure we get more in-game ads, make a new thread in the forums every time a server needs restarting, make a new thread in the forums whenever SOE wants to pat themselves on the back, and copy-pasting patch notes that he gets from Rarebit every six weeks.

Ugh.  I'm just venting here because I don't want to do it on DN1.  If I'm going to be an angry douche, I'd rather it be semi-privately.  :)

I don't give a crap what anybody else thinks about it, if you love it go out and farm some pumpkins. I think the full month long Halloween event completely kills what the Matrix is suppose to be. The event was created for the sole purpose of attracting attention to get more people in game, failure at that too. Why didn't they waist time making game masks and textures that could be used all the time that would fit into the Matrix storyline, instead of just for Halloween. It is the epitome of waisted time and was an asinine idea 2 years ago and is an asinine idea now.

I suggest purchasing it. :D Half-Life 2 is quite possibly one of the best games I have ever played.  Half-Life 2: Episodes 1 and 2 are part of a trilogy.  The trilogy is supposed to be Half-Life 3, or that's what I read.  Team Fortress 2 is the sequel to an old multiplayer classic.  I have yet to finish downloading it from Steam, so I haven't got a chance to play it yet.

I haven't gotten to play it yet.  I didn't want to download everything at one time, because that would take far too long.  So I have been downloading them one at a time.  TF2 is downloading right now.

Interesting fact I just learned about Portal, the main character is modeled after Alesia Glidewell.  She is the same person who did the motion capture work for all the female characters of The Matrix Online.  Her resume (http://www.ryanartists.com/resumes/alesia_glidewell_resume.jpg) says she also did voice-overs for the "Oracle, Sati, all female guards, lupines, and vampires."

It's a mix of the best parts of UT2k4 and the best parts of the original UT.

The gameplay is based much more on the UT:GOTY edition, and there's no more bunny hopping clear across the map in two seconds. It makes the firefights much less surreal and more life-like and more adrenaline-pumping fun. There's nothing like dodging a rocket in this.

The graphics are a league of their own... and realize that this is a demo. They don't include all of the graphical options in the demo. Oh, and by the way, this is only rendering in DirectX9 right now. They haven't put out the DX10 yet.

Yes, I'm no doubt happy and thankful that we were able to get as high as we did, but I deeply enjoyed all the media our school was getting, and the atmosphere it created for the students.  At least our school is (somewhat) on the map now.

I could care less.  If it is a matter of equality, then it should not even have come up.  What a wizard is or does behind closed doors is none of our business and in many cases would fall under the TMI catagory.  Why is it necessary to make it public issue?

Maybe I should come out of the closet and admit that I love to be spanked by my woman with an old pair of granny panties.  :D, but what difference should it make.  That's nobody's business anyway.  Or am I simply just trying to make a statement for some reason?

Are imaginary characters entitled to equal rights?

Now people are going to think his relationship to Harry was more than paternal (which it wasn't, btw. He loved Harry like a son, it says so and there are no sexual references at all).

mine came from the fact that Lake Lanier (georgia) is being drained even when there is a major drought going on so that the river stays full so as not to kill the endangered mussels in Florida... but once the lake runs out that is serious lack of water, the dam can't make more electricity for power because of no water.. and the damn mussels die anyways!!! stupid ACOE (army corps of engineers.

Saw IV rocked!

III was just about constant senseless violence, but IV brought back the psychological aspect that I and II set the precedent for.  The kind where you reach the end of the movie and say "No. Fucking. WAY!"  I love that shit!  

This series could conceivably go on forever, and in a way that actually makes sense if the writers stay true to the concept.  As opposed to older slasher movies where the killer just keeps manifesting himself for no reason.

I'm very pleased to see they learned from the mistake that was Saw III.  It just didn't feel right.  But IV made up for it in spades.  And it will certainly feel weird to have Saw I, II, and IV on my DVD shelf, with III ominously missing.  I just can't bring myself to buy it.

Already looking forward to V.  :D

Quit your games, you dancing dealer of death.
You left your scabbard long ago,

Prancing to and fro, a trail of poor souls in your wake,
making widows out of maidens,
taking the blood of their knights as your prize.
Such an odd sight to see, a bold and floating scimitar as you,
waving as if in the hand of one adept
and striking without warning.
Was your master lacking in skill?
Could he not wield you by your hide-bound hilt?
Were the runes inscribed upon your blade beyond him?

I've got a MSN virus, I accepted a file off a friend and he went offlne after the transfer. I thought nothing of it. Now my MSN started to blink after I unzipped the file.... it was an MS-DOS virus and it doesnt sound good to me (but I wouldn't know). I had to restart MSN and my gf said that i sent her a message saying 'Hi, can I use this photo of you?' and it had the file that I was sent. It's gotta be a virus, i dunno what else it could be.

And my AVG Free can't find anything :{

GOOD pop, hip-hop and rap takes skill and creativity.  Just like metal, not all of it is good, and definately not all of it is bad.  Trust me, I listen to ALL types of music and there is alot of jazz, folk, rock and metal that just completely sucks ass and has people on said instruments that should never be allowed near a musical device of any sort.

I always thought the easiest job in the world would be to be the guy in a rap group that every once in a while came in on the 1st or 4th beat of a verse or chorus and just blurted out a random word, like saying hello... How many time do you see these guys hang in the back fo the stage with a towel in their hand as though they're ACTUALLY working up a sweat?! Then they come up and when you think "oh, lyricist changeup. i can't wait to hear what this G dog has to tell me about HIS bitches and hos" all you get is "yeah!", "uh-huh, uh-huh", "let me hear ya say...", "whooooaaa", "hey, hey, hey", "put your hands up!" etc... and then they mosey on back to right in front of the drumset/turntables, take a drink, wipe off their perspiration from the grueling moments of lyrical effort and wait for the chorus to finish so they can start again.
Then they go back to the tourbus, fuck the previously mentioned bitches and hos and claim to be the singer of <insert>

Fuck these guys. I want that job.

I understand that rap might not be YOUR thing, but metal is really not my thing either.  What is on display with a rapper is not so much the artists musical skill as his/her lyrical skill.

If you can compose even one verse with creative content and perform it in an engaging manner over a musical track, I'll give you much props.  writing ood rap is not as easy as it looks.  And its completely unfair to judge all of one genre based on the worst examples out there.

I could just as easily do the same with ANY type of music.  For example, I have never taken a guitar lesson in my life, but I have been around all types of music all my life.  I was hanging with a band that played harder rock and picked up one of their guitars for fun.  I began strumming and moving my fingers doing my best impression of a hard rocker and surprisingly, it didn't sound much worse than some of the crappiest metal music I've heard out there that people actually listen to.  Since then, i haven't really been impressed with metal artists.  However, there are some metal songs that I like because some of it is actually good.

However, also in fairness, most of the rap you hear on the radio these days IS crap.  But that is hardly a representation of the entire genre.

I agree, maybe I wasn't making myself clear enough, yes some of it can be good (Hell, I like Take that ffs! :p) But none of the techies or the people who actualyl write or make the music get ANY credit. I don't think Britney writes her songs, well not all of them anyways. I know rock, jazz and metal bands can suck ass, but I get really annoyed when people like 50 cent (sorry if anyone likes him!) gets so much credit.... all he does is fuckin' talk fast >.<

Britney wrote 9 of the 13 songs on In The Zone and 5 out of 13 on Britney. She only co-wrote 2 on Blackout, though, but was the Executive Producer (she hasn't been that for any of her previous efforts).

Plus, it isn't like every song-writer is a good singer; why should every singer be a good song-writer?

So Billboard decided to change their policy on proprietary albums.

Britney Spears sold 290,000 copies of her CD. The Eagles sold around 700,000 copies. However, it has always been Billboard's policy that they don't place proprietary albums on the chart. Suddenly, just today, they decided to change their policy.

Britney Spears is now number two, breaking her streak of consecutive number 1 albums (this would have been her 5th). Billboard had been saying ALL WEEK that she was going to be number 1 until they decided to pull this shit on her and allow proprietary CD sales to count.

What bullshit. Why, this week, of all weeks, did they decide to pull this? I am so pissed off right now. And to think, I thought that this day couldn't be bad. Ugh...

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003668840

It's one thing to inform the industry, with adequate time beforehand, of a change to the biggest album chart in the United States. However, it is quite another to proceed with such a large change in policy AFTER the album sales have already been counted. This seems preconceived, completely biased, and utterly unfair. If you have an active policy and there record companies basing release dates CONTINGENT ON THE RULES CURRENTLY IN-FORCE, how can you then change those rules AFTER said albums have ALREADY been released? It makes absolutely no sense and it makes a mockery of the system, the rules, and the charts.

UGHHH.

Of course the Eagles won. They are awesome. (and my favorite band)

How can you even argue that the bitch should have #1 when she sold less than half as many as the Eagles. They saw the fuck up in that logic and revised it, rightly so. I don't understand why their policy would not include 'certain albums' in the first place... you want to argue faults with billboard...

So Billboard decided to change their policy on proprietary albums.

Britney Spears sold 290,000 copies of her CD. The Eagles sold around 700,000 copies. However, it has always been Billboard's policy that they don't place proprietary albums on the chart. Suddenly, just today, they decided to change their policy.

Britney Spears is now number two, breaking her streak of consecutive number 1 albums (this would have been her 5th). Billboard had been saying ALL WEEK that she was going to be number 1 until they decided to pull this shit on her and allow proprietary CD sales to count.

What bullshit. Why, this week, of all weeks, did they decide to pull this? I am so pissed off right now. And to think, I thought that this day couldn't be bad. Ugh...

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003668840

It's one thing to inform the industry, with adequate time beforehand, of a change to the biggest album chart in the United States. However, it is quite another to proceed with such a large change in policy AFTER the album sales have already been counted. This seems preconceived, completely biased, and utterly unfair. If you have an active policy and there record companies basing release dates CONTINGENT ON THE RULES CURRENTLY IN-FORCE, how can you then change those rules AFTER said albums have ALREADY been released? It makes absolutely no sense and it makes a mockery of the system, the rules, and the charts.

UGHHH.

Honestly Ana, I don't think she deserves to be number 1. I've heard the Album; I got to admit it isn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be but it's not even Average by my books. I just think she should've sorted her life out before doing anything music wise.

BS (Britney Spears) has no business being in the same catagory as people with real talent.  What little talent she has does not compare to the likes of the Eagles and Eric Clapton.

As far as the Charts go, all albums should be included if you want to be fair, so she should be happy she even made #2.

....besides, what difference do the charts make anyways in the big picture?  If you like the music of an artist, that's all that should matter (bad or good).  There are artists out there that have much better music than anything on the charts, but don't get the recognition.  Who cares?

All the charts measure is how many people bought the album, not how good it is.  Now in the long run, that picture may (or may not) paint a more accurate picture of how good the album is by how many people continue to purchase the album, but the first couple of weeks only reflects the hype that was produced.  

I've purchased many a album because of the hype or even because I like the artist, but the album itself ended up being crap and i regretted buying it.  But you'd better believed my purchase counted as "one" toward their position on "the charts" whether it was deserved or not.  

Now if an artist remains high on the charts long after "the hype" has died down, that may be saying something.

And as a few above stated.... I did check out the album myself and it is indeed better than I expected.  However it should not be in the running for even the top 20.  There's already too much boxed, crackerjack pop music out there posing as quality music.

You've got a point there. I feel better that she lost to the legends like the Eagles rather than some other bum pop singer.

Quote

I totally agree with you. However, Billboard should not suddenly change its rules after the numbers have been counted. If they were going to change their rules, they should have pronounced that the 29th of October, the day before this week's album's were released.

By your logic, also, Garth Brook's 2005 box set The Limited Series should have also been number one. His album, also sold exclusively through Walmart, sold 500,000 copies its first week. He would have been number one, but Billboard did not change its rule then after they counted the numbers. Why change the rule now, without any prior notice?

Britney Spears had a record running, a big record. Britney Spears was the only female in music history to have her first four studio albums debut at number one in a row. This would have been her 5th. Now, every single media outlet is attacking her because she did not make number 1. I drove the entire way to school listening to radio stations mock Britney for not getting number 1. No one is happy she made number 2, but any other artist would not get the severe backlash that Britney is. Everyone is now proclaiming her imminent failure as a pop artist for debuting at 2. That is the real reason why I am mad about this.

I agree. I only get frustrated that Billboard told us the entire week that Britney would be number 1 (with no mention at all of anything dealing with the Eagles), and then suddenly changing their minds on Tuesday night, hours before they released the charts.

(There is nothing to say against the last three paragraphs because it is more of a matter of opinion and has already been touched on in other parts of my post)

Unfortunately, Brittney needs more than a No. 1 hit album to redeem her career at this point.  I do agree that it may seem unfair that they "changed the rules" just before/during/after the numbers came in, but I doubt it had to do with a mission to assasinate Brit's career.  I think the rules were going to change at some point and regardless of when this was done, someone's album was going to be affected by it.

Unfortunately, a majority of people don't think for themselves and form their own opinions and will thus be led around by the nose by "the charts".   This is the ONLY thing that makes the Billboard Charts so influential.  Regardless of where any artist falls on the charts, if people actually like what they put out, that is what will determine the success for failure of their career.  So, if Brit gets her act together and focuses on actually improving her singing/writing game, her position on the Billboard Charts will not stop her.  The people talking crap based on those Billboard Chart positions will soon eat their words if they are wrong and her day will come.  Its just not today.

Unfortunately there are multiple factors that come into play with Billboard Charting positions and 99% of it has to do with statistics, not actual music quality or talent.

I wondered about that too.  But apparently they must have worked something out, because the controllers are already being used in Japan.  I haven't read about any problems so far.

I'm still not entirely sure how the regular SIXAXIS controllers work, as I don't hear anything moving inside when I move it around.  I figured that being motion controlled, you would have something inside moving back and forth signaling which direction(s) the controller is moved.

I couldn't even find it on PS3, but I didn't look hard.  It was top of the charts where I went today on 360 so I bought that for £40 ($80).  Aside from the graphical glitches it's running very very well.

Warriors Orochi on the other hand, ran like a piece of crap.  Constant disc spinning, frame drops all over the place, random enemy popups/disappearances... bleugh.

Megan, a 13-year-old who suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder...


I blame Halo 3.

In all seriousness, at least CNN doesn't have their heads entirely up their asses and are trying to place the blame on myspace.  Unfortunately, that's probably how it will be interpreted as.  "The Internet Is Killing Your Kids".  

What blows my mind is that the woman who created the fake profile lived just down the street.  I don't know what's worse, the fact that this girl killed herself over myspace bulletins, or that her friend's mother felt it necessary to spy on a 13 year-old.  If she's that concerned about what other kids are saying about her child, I'm willing to bet she had emotional problems growing up as well.

Just finished AC (spoilers in white)

looks like the master was behind everything... that lucy person that's helping the docotr is actually part of the assassins creed; even though the templars (yes the company is the modern day templars) sya they've wiped them out. at the end Desmond get's altair's eagle vision and sees that the previous Assassin's held at the company have written things in blood so at the end you walk into your dorm and it ends.


There is definatly gonna be a sequel or 30 (hopefully)

That was pretty cool. :)

I forgot two more things they did that were pretty cool.  A member of the UPS Skydiving Team parachuted in with the green flag.  Then during the national anthem, along with the F-16s, they had three F-350 Super-Duty Trucks driving around the track.  Two in front side by side, and another behind them in the middle.  The one behind had a huge bar that stretched almost all the way across the track with a huge American flag attached to it.

you set up to partitions on your hard drive rogan... when youre installing windows it will ask you about that. You can cut your hard drive space in half and give half to xp and halve to vista.  Install xp and give it half of your hard drive space and then go and install vista on the other half.  You can seperate the space anyway you want to.  It basically acts like 2 hard drives one with vista and one with xp.

What do you mean about discoloration and moving to a different angle Pirus?  I occasionally get texture issues (things go shiny for no reason at all) and that stops when I face a certain way... I wish they'd issue a patch already.

Yeah same issue the textures tend to crap out sometimes get shinny other times it blends ccolors into some weird 60's hippy trip day dream.  I turn towards another direction and it goes away.  It is just mildly annoying but I can live with it.  Oh, and its hard to patch what youre not aware of.  From my numerous communications with them I gathered it was a problem they were unaware of and there isn't enough complaints about it to concider it a priority.

I am replaying Crysis with everything on high and 2x AA, and it really isn't that choppy.  Of course the game looks great.

I'm thinking about buying a 4GB (2x2GB) memory kit, and I know that XP x32 does not allow you to use all 4GBs of your actual memory because of the 32-bit limits.  So if I was going to upgrade my OS, do you guys think its better to upgrade to XP  x64, or to just upgrade to 64-bit Vista?

I think I may wait for the new Core 2 Quad Q9450.  Apparently it should be coming out soon.  Reports say that it should be better than the Q6700, which is better than the Q6600. :D I just hope it is around the same price as the Q6600/Q6700.  It should be since it has to "compete" with the AMD Phenom.  I say "compete" because the highest available Phenom still has lower performance than the cheaper, low-end Core 2 Quad Q6600.  ROFL.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crysis#Demo
Quote
Shortly after the demo's release some enthusiasts found that, by manipulating the configuration files, most of the “very high” graphics settings (normally reserved for DX10) could be activated under DX9. The "very high" DX9 graphics mode looks more or less identical to the DX10 mode, with the benefit of providing better performance.[26] This has caused many to question if DX10 brings any real advantage to the game, in contrast to official developer statements.[27]

Screw your DX10. :p

You apparently aren't familiar with how bad people are taken advantage of who are not in a union. I'm a non-union worker at the moment and it sucks sucks sucks! Unless there's a standard that can be enforced by things such as strikes, the haves will always take advantage of the havenots - especially when there's 50 people in line behind you ready to take your job.
Title: randomness
Post by: NoCry on December 13, 2007, 05:54:21 am
i have no problem with unions and workers representatives etc and they bring a useful mouthpiece to those not able to be heard.

My problem is that members of corporations which provide a service, such as travel, health, safety etc think it acceptable to strike. They should air their grievances, try to find a solution, change jobs or accept that employers will forever seek to screw their employees. What employees dont realise is that they are screwing the public, not their employees when they strike. The corporations take out strike insurance so it does not hit their bottom line.

I am however what is known as a tory boy hence my dislike of strikes.

Title: randomness
Post by: Anonymous on December 13, 2007, 07:18:12 am
As someone married to a person who needed to strike in order to get a decent result to a long-running dispute, I think you're talking complete and utter shit.

Try working in a job where you provide a service to the public and where you find your retirements plans might be fucked for the sake of the officials saving some money in the short term, and you might reconsider your position on strike action.  When people strike they don't get paid, and they get a lot of stress in the meantime.  It's not a decision taken lightly and it places a great deal of strain on the entire family of the people involved.  Nobody wants to deprive anyone of a valuable service, but nor do they want to slit their own throats.

I 100% back the police in their action, same as I did the firefighters and same as I would anyone who is being fucked over while helping ungrateful members of the public - especially when those people have devoted their entire careers to it, rather than climbing a corporate ladder to line their own pockets.  The police have not only been given a pay increase well below the rate of inflation and below the national average, they have been told it won't be backdated.  That means they're getting approximately 1.9% against an inflation rate of 3% on an already shit wage.

For many officers, it's not as simple as going into an agency and finding something else.

Mr destyn; firstly I did not attack you (it was an opinion as to the legality of strikes and not the moral rights and wrongs behind it) and do not feel it merited an attack on me. I do not think that we should resort to name calling in a public forum. It was said tongue in cheek and with obvious self depreciation (reference to tory boy).

Secondly, the fact that you are married to someone who strikes or who needed to strike in order to prove a point does not make you any better qualified to determine whether or not strikes should be made illegal or not or whether or not people can support or go against them.

A schoolfriend of mine was recently killed, in Hertfordshire, whilst carrying out his duties as a fireman, he always impressed me by the fact that he was not doing it for the money, but for the respect. I have the upmost respect for public servants I just do not see that tax payers should be put in danger for something over which they have no control. Ironically, given the context that this discussion has arisen on boards about a game of choice this whole point again comes down to choice.

No-one is forced to strike and no-one is forced to work at anything other than what they do. Circumstances might go against people having freedom to move jobs however, those circumstances are self imposed, not thrust on someone out of the blue.

Agreed.  What amazed me was that Wendy's called them on it.  Rather than pony up the dough to avoid serious litigation, they investigated the matter themselves and caught the woman in her bullshit.  Burger King should do the same thing in this case.

Had a crisis of faith today.  I was in the shops and saw a dude wearing a battered leather duster and sungless (indoors) asking his friends (in backup outfits) if something was "Matrixy".  For the record, he did not look uber-sexy as Manic does when he dresses up, he was just skanky.

Should I have punched him or applauded his balls?

Why, why Destyn, would you compare me to such a person?  I thought we were friends.  :(

You should have at least chuckled in his direction.  There's nothing wrong with being a Matrix geek, but for god's sake don't flaunt it.  I have an image in my head of this guy and his friends hanging out at phone booths all night, and answering their cell phones with "Operator..."

I could understand if it was a stunt, or some kind of on-the-spot improv act, but were they being serious about it?

Yeah I think they were.  Perhaps they had dressed up for a school disco or something, but on the way out I heard them talking about phones and I was tempted even more so to punch them.

For the record though Manic you still > most guys ;)

My brother showed this to me today. I didn't even realize it had been posted about here. My brother has a Wii, so I set out to recreate this myself.

I downloaded the software, configured my bluetooth adapter to work with the wii remote, and taped the sensor bar to a hat and I was ready to go.

At first I loaded the program and was severely disappointed. The familiar targets popped up, and I was happy to see that it was responding to my head motions, but I didn't see the eye-popping 3-D that was in the video. I spent a good minute or so trying to calibrate it differently or line it up perfectly so that it would suddenly pop.

For some reason I decided to close one eye. I did it briefly but all the sudden the targets popped out of the screen. I quickly closed one eye again and began to move my head around. Sure enough, here was the effect I was looking for. It looked great, and I was very happy to have done the experiment using the things I already had.

Then it hit me. The reason why the illusion worked on the video was because the camera is only one source of sight. Our mind creats depth by combining the vision of two eyes, but with only one source, our mind will try to recreate the depth using context clues such as the response to motion, etc.

The problem with turning this technology into a video game is that each game will have to come with an eye patch or use 3D vision with the 3D glasses we're all used to.

In conclusion, the optical illusion created in the video was more caused by the camera than the motion technology. I'm sure one day they'll come up with a solution and then we'll get some really awesome games, but this wasn't quite the breakthrough I thought it was when I watched the video.

Well I hope the next generation of gaming systems has something similar integrated.  The wii took a nice step forward, with coming up with a revolutionary design. I'm sure Sony and Microsoft both will follow suit.

Well, if you think about his idea with the safety goggles and the infared lights, 3D vision isn't that far off.  Simply attach the infared lights to a pair of 3D vision goggles and Wa-lah!

That does suck, though.  I didn't even think about that.  Still neat. :D

Back on the old subject, Asus I am sure at one point were shipping "3D" glasses with their gfx cards, and they worked through a shutter system rather than the old red-green system.  I'm sure it's completely doable in time for Resi 6.

Title: randomness
Post by: Subb on December 28, 2007, 05:15:50 pm
I dunno, the book is really weird and alot better. Film wise, the whole manakin thingy was brilliant; it showed how much Robert Neville lacked human company. when the lead vampire (which is most probably Ben Cortman, from the book.... that's another thing! Where the fuck was the legendary quote: "Come out Neville!"?!) moved the manakin and trapped neville I was like, woah; they did that really well.


The dog was really sad :( although it's slightly different in the book. I rathered the book's ending:


****SPOILERS*****






In the book a group of the 'living vampires' capture Neville. In fact, it is Neville who is the monster; he killed the intelligent vampires, who were just people that can only stay in sunlight for a short period of time because of a pill. He killed them even though it was Ben Cortman and his other vampires who were actually besieging his house. Also, there are no survivours in the book; hence the name I am Legend.... he was the last human, hence a legend. Oh and he is of course killed by the Vamps.








READ THE BOOK PEOPLE.

A little history lesson:

It's just a short one, only 6 questions. If you don't know the answer
make your best guess. You don't need paper or anything. Answer all
the questions before looking at the answers.

Who said it?

1) "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common
good."

A. Karl Marx
B. Adolph Hitler

Quote from: "Heironymus"
Ron Paul doesn't believe in Evolution...


The reason Ron Paul doesn't believe in Evolution is wrong, but it's not entirely wrong to scientifically disagree with the theory. Statistically, humans are a genetic anomaly among all the other species of the planet. Thriving in your environment does not mean you need to develop intelligence beyond that which will allow you to live, procreate, defend territory and come to a sustainable balance with your resources. By the theory of evolution, there is nothing that should have prompted a necessity for intelligence and humans should therefore not exist. However, a genetic mutation occurred and was sustained long enough to produce a new species. Genetic mutations happen all the time, even now while you're sitting there reading this. It is simply statistically an out lier that you're able to read this.

Warning: Religious Tangent Below
People who quaff at the big bang theory, evolution of humans and even the search for E.T. life and instead use a personified God, miracles, and unapproachable mechanisms to explain everything are simply afraid of taking the "leap of faith" science requires. That leap of faith to me is maintaining an open mind and reveling in the beauties and horrors of the universe.

In case you didn't all ready know, I label myself a Pantheist, which translated means God = All. That is to say, the more you learn, create, understand everything that is, was and will be, the closer you come to being one with God. We see this mentality in a variety of practices, Taoism  to name one.

Does that mean I'm not a Christian? Perhaps not in the esoteric sense, but think of it like this. A "rational" scientist would conclude that Jesus was not a divine being, did not rise from the dead and was not the son of God, did not save us from some pending destruction by an omnipotent being  and  is therefore not worthy of having a religion named after him. Jesus was just a mortal human, very approachable, tangible. Poetry and storytelling aren't always meant to be taken literally, so no, he didn't rise from the dead after being killed. However this is where I differ from atheists. I believe every form of energy and matter to be "God" and therefore, Jesus was a "son" of "God." His doctrines and self-sacrifice did, in my opinion "save" humanity. Like other important messengers like Ghandi or Dr. King, Jesus helped spread positive ideas about how to live life and treat others. It is because of the significance of his message and teachings I believe he is worth having a religion centered around him. I don't agree with conformist religion because the definition of religion is "a set of beliefs and practices" and that should be personal.

But does the world really need 36 versions of it?  You have to admit, that's a lot of remixing for one song.  Doesn't it get old after a while?  Even with some of my favorite songs, I can't stand to listen to them more than three times in a row.

On a side note, I highly advise against playing Guitar Hero with a sprained wrist.

Bought a new old laptop.

Hypersonic PC Aviator CX7 Turbo.  

Was a $3000 laptop in late 2005/early 2006.  Paid $350 for it. :D

2.26Ghz Pentium-M 780.  2GB (2x1024MB) PC4200 DDR2-533 Mushkin memory.  GeForce Go 7800 GTX.  100GB 7200rpm ATA Hard Drive w/ 8MB Cache.  17" WUXGA 1920x1200 VividView Display w/ Super Clear Glossy Surface.  8X DVD +/- R/W Dual Layer Burner.

Pretty much this same computer, but with some better options. :)

If Chuck Norris was crossbred with a monkey, the resulting entity would throw its shit at warp factor 17.
Title: randomness
Post by: Da6onet on January 27, 2008, 02:48:31 pm
I remember looking up the discrepancies between warp factors in the Star Trek series.

Basically Warp 9.x is the highest warp you can achieve, with warp "10" being infinite speed. When someone says warp 10, 17, 25, etc. What they are really referring to is the x.

So
Warp 10 = 9.9 (speed Kirk & Co. achieved using the gravity well of the sun to travel back and forth in time)
Warp 11 = 9.99 (my example)
Warp 17 = 9.99999999 (sared's poo flinging norris monkey)
Warp 23 = 9.99999999999999 (futuristic speed stated in some TNG episode)
and so on.

Needless to say, Warp 17 is pretty damn fast.

So I accidentally destroyed my Sony MDR-V700 headphones a couple days ago and I was looking at models ranging from mid (similar to what I have now) to high end (like the Seinheiser HD650 or Grado RS1).

Then I remembered the first pair of headphones I ever bought that made me have ear orgasms. The Panasonic RP-HT970 "brain shaker" headphones. I'm going to buy the lone used pair off of Amazon because they're cheap and hopefully will be as good as I remember them. It's a shame Panasonic or any other manufacturer didn't keep developing the VMSS technology. I guess it just wasn't a success, but as I recall from several prominent game reviewers and whatnot, these "are THE perfect gaming headphones" (a counter-strike related review).

Anyhoo, if you ever come across a pair of these, try em out ^_^

Yeah alienware rocks but yes I agree its over priced.  You can build a computer cheaper if you have the know how.  But alienware uses good components in their computers so it should perform as most anything you build.   Then again its a laptop you bought and its a bit tougher to build one of those ;)

Officer Training School for the Air Force. It means in April I apply to be an Air Force pilot, and in June I find out if I am "hired".

If hired, I'll most likely begin OTS in 2009. It lasts 3 months, and after that I will enter into a year of Undergraduate Pilot Training. After that, 10 years of Active Duty as a pilot in the AF.

I'm off today, so I'm at the library catching up on my interwebs...

Lits Update!
Okay, so I'm taking an unintentional financial hiatus from school this semester.
I'm living in Mobile, Al.
I'm working at Hooters (don't laugh, the money's good)
I'm a LEGAL driver now!
I'm starting a retirement fund
I'm still without internet
I got a job Stage Managing the Bologna Little Theatre in Cleaveland, MS this summer
and I miss you all so terribly :(

PS- I went to an Irish bar in Pensecola for my 21st birthday, and there was a wall where people were encouraged to write/carve their names in... I carved the Angel symbol and the website address and my little symbol underneath it. Lol... I wonder what would happen if someone who doesn't even play tried to get through the challenge... hopefully it would interest them enough to sign up?

And new hair cut....

No, I don't.  Both the poster and the shirt were submitted with identical designs.  Besides, I wouldn't have spent so much time cropping the MxO logo just to blur it out.  If I had known they were going to do that I would have just left the MxO graphic out of the picture all together.  That kindof pisses me off.

SO... I don't know about any other members on here but I have been posting and checking pretty regularly for  a few years now a forum called www.4chan.org . Generally it is a good source for wallpapers and such but rather crude in about every other way. (in case you don't know everyone that posts is considered and named Anonymous or Anon). Recently, some people have been posting about protesting Scientology in person. I, and I am sure many others, thought it to be another joke. Well, apparently Not. In several cities anywhere from 10 people to 50 showed up in Guy Fox masks and signs protesting Scientology. I thought it was quite funny, and apparently it got the "Scientologists" all riled up and they made this video, outlining supposed bomb threats and death threats that they have received and blame them on the Terrorists Anonymous... it is starting to make national news and i laughed hysterically when I heard it on the radio today because noone that isn't semi-affluent in the internet has a clue what they are saying when they say "an online group of hackers called Anonymous".

But then I took a look at the engine and was sorely dissapointed. You'd think a car like that would be much more than a 1.8L 4-banger. The Vr4 Twin Turbo I used to drive had more punch, and it was a good 15K cheaper new.

The first one stopped connecting to his computer.  Apple replaced it.  That same week, the second one would turn off after going into sleep mode.  So he took that one in and got a third one.  Hasn't had any problems so far, but it's been less than a week.

First off:
Loan officers are the scariest creatures that have ever walked this planet.

And you're not going to believe what car I actually applied for. Not the Nissan Altima with all the trimming and packages and a little wear and tear and repair needed, but a Gold Volvo Station Wagon. This getting older thing sucks. All of a sudden I'm worried about ABS and front end crash test ratings and reliability and new alternators and timing belts.

Despite your instructions against it, I have to ask my questions.  I just have to.

If gravity was taking a smoke break, does that mean it wasn't doing its job, in effect causing you to float into the air?  

And if velocity was fully operational, does that mean you continued to sail upwards into the sky at an increasing rate of speed?

And if all this is true, can you please teach me how to do it?

Simple.

Women want what they can't have. Once you're an easy target there's no challenge and you're boring. Even if they don't "know" you're in a relationship they "know." It's something about your body chemistry or the way you move or hell, women's intuition. Belive me, somehow we know.

My advice? Be as aloof as possible if you're single. It's only human nature to chase that which runs from us.

I just saw that on another site, Jeyk.  Pretty cool.


Hey Pirus, recommend a video card.  Right now I have the 8800 GTS 320MB.  Processor is an E6300 running at 3.5Ghz, motherboard is a 680i SLI.  For a while, I was thinking about getting another 8800 GTS to run in SLI, but that setup seems dated now.

I like the idea of two 9800 GX2s in SLI, but that seems like a bit too much money.
Title: randomness
Post by: Pirus on April 16, 2008, 02:13:14 pm
Well it all depends on how much you want to spend the new 8800 gt might actually beat out your gts but If It were me I would go with 2 8800 ultra's they will be more stable than 2 9800 gx2's they still seem sketchy with SLI.
Title: randomness
Post by: Tecknik on April 16, 2008, 02:31:15 pm
Yeah, I just did some research.  Two 8800 GTS 512s in SLI is almost as good as a 9800 GX2.  The 8800 GTS 512 SLI setup actually scored higher than the  9800 GX2 in 3DMark06.  It also did better in Crysis.  Both scored better than the 8800 Ultra.  I'm currently looking at 9800 GTX numbers.  The 9800 GTX is the replacement for the 8800 GTS/GTX.  Price on the 9800 GTX isn't bad.  I may buy one now, and another after the price drops a bit.  Then when I upgrade to the 790i motherboard, I can buy a third and run them in Tri-SLI.

I just want to say...

Fuck you, Microsoft.

I finally gave in and purchased your Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade pack.  I made the decision after reading the box.  It told me I can upgrade from Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Ultimate without losing any of my files.  So I said, "Okay, cool.  My computer is more than capable of handling Vista."  So I get home, and read through the manual which tells me if I want to upgrade to the 64-bit version of Vista, to insert the 64-bit Vista DVD.

Simple enough.

Until the error pops up telling me I can't "upgrade" to the 64-bit version of Vista, and that I'll have to do a "clean install".  So much for keeping all my files.

So now here I have sat for the past couple hours, backing up anything of importance, and transferring it to my laptop...

So again I say, "Fuck you, Microsoft."

Thats not a microsoft Issue its a transfer from a 32 bit operating system to a 64 bit one... not an easy job to do in an update.  So, yeah you will have to do a clean install to do that.  If you had a copy of the 64 bit version of XP pro you shouldn't have had any trouble.

Well... I backed everything up, and restarted the computer to start the "custom" install.  As soon as I got to the step where you pick the partition you want to install to.  So I picked the partition and clicked Next.

What pops up?  A message telling me that I have an older version of Windows installed, and that all my old files will be moved to a new folder.

You bastards.  Now I really hate you.  After all that?  All my time wasted moving folders?

Grand Theft Auto III was great. Awesome new gameplay and good story.

Vice City I thought the map sucked and the story was boring.

Andres had an amazing map and the story ridiculously gangster, black, and sucked.

I'm happy to see IV might be getting away from the shitty story lines and back into more traditional good old fashioned organized crime story.

Honestly I think it will be so much more than Vice City. I can't wait for PC....

Solid gameplay, I think it will be better when I'm used to all the buttons because each button can do like 10 things depending on the situation.  Anyways, my initial review is its a great step up for the franchise.  The city is huge, and obviously i can only explore the initial islands since i havent earned the opening of the bridges to the others yet.

I decided to sprain my foot (note: not my ankle, directly under my ankle).

I rolled my right foot outwards and I heard a big, deep pop. It didn't hurt until I put weight on it, and then I had to walk down five flights of stairs at my school to get to my car. I thought it was broken, so I'm very glad it wasn't. If it doesn't stop hurting within the next two weeks, I have an MRI scheduled to check for torn ligaments.

The Voyager is damn nice - if I had Verizon, I'd be all over it.  The VCast TV is worth it.  If I didn't pick up the iPhone, I probably would have gone with the T-Mobile Wing.

The Samsung Instinct looks nice:

I used to have a Venus Fly Trap - I used a pot for mine, since it didnt like staying in the same soil as the other plants.


I also used to feed mine with Cheese in the winter since there aren't many flies around.

I have a Pinguicula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinguicula) and two Droseras (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosera).  All named after gods of H.P. Lovecraft lore.  :)

I tried re-planting one of the Droseras, despite the advice against re-planting according to one website.  It looks a bit droopy since the re-planting, but I'll give it a couple more days to adjust to the new soil and see what happens.  The other two I've left in the little plastic terrariums that I bought them in.

Well Dragon will work but you'll have to train the program to learn your voice for several hours to get any kind of accuracy out of it.  Its really a pain in the ass.  You also have to train yourself in all the commands to use even more of a pain.  Other than that it works pretty good.  I actually had version 7.

There are a lot of pieces missing.  But even with 25% of the tools, I was able to make about 45 completely different creatures.  I'm going to buy the $10 full version on Tuesday.  

I actually tried making the FA symbol, but to no avail.  Humans are hard to accurately build, too.  I did manage to make a warped version of Grimmace (of Ronald McDonald fame), and some kind of gargantuan canary with one webbed foot.

I don't think I'll try to do that again.  It was insanely difficult to keep myself awake.  Lunesta is powerful stuff.  I remember everything up to the point where I got the bad taste in my mouth.  After that, I have no memory of anything.  Watching the video the next day was both hilarious and scary.

I wasn't playing MxO, just surfing the web.  I don't think I would have been able to play any game effectively.  I thought about jumping onto TS but nobody was online.

Harold, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer so I think you should know- I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um, an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh, some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh, someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh, some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um... I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty sick guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, meet me at Harry's Bar, so you know, keep your eyes open.

a good buddy of mine in LA has been doing this show for the past couple of years, and it's freaking wicked. If you took old silent films, opera, rock, and theatre and stuck em in a blender this is what would come out. It's been compared to Cirque De Solei and Stomp in that it's kinda out there, and you either love it or hate it. I happen to love it. Mostly because it's kinda like a collage of all these other great arts stuck together in a goth-rock kinda way. Ya'll should check it out.

Nice G35, Pirus.

Don't waste your time or money with a supercharger.  The VQ35 does MUCH better with turbos.  A buddy of mine had his twin turbocharged.  Made 550 or so wheel horsepower.  Was a stock motor, I believe.

Now he drives a Viper SRT-10...  Lucky, rich bastard. >.>

You can buy new EA games there for $20. Yes, brand new, just released games. I was in there and it was sweet.

Six sequences of The Dark Knight were filmed using IMAX technology, making it the first major motion picture to be done so.

Subb, read up here about IMAX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAX

It is basically the ULTIMATE way to view movies.  Not all movies are released in IMAX.  The ones that are, are usually the ones worth seeing.  I saw Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix in an IMAX theater.  The final scenes were all in 3D.  It was pretty amazing.

With that said...

THE DARK KNIGHT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!

Official report on Los Angeles:

-I spent a week on the back of a Honda Shadow touring Hollywood and the Valley and everything in between
-I stayed two blocks from Venice Beach
-Got over my fear of sharks in the Pacific Ocean
-I went to see an amazing band at a club you have to know someone to get in (Nico Vega, look them up on myspace)
-Tried MDMA for the first time, spent 5 1/2 hours in a hot tub/in front of a fireplace exploring the perfect minds and perfect souls of three perfect creatures
-Found a part of El Matador beach you can only reach by crawling through a cave at low tide, watched the sunset while drinking a bottle of really nice white wine and making love to the most wonderful man I've ever met
-Drank margaritas on the Santa Monica Pier by moonlight
-Went to a party hosted by an entire city
-Became obsessed with the idea of Freedom Community

Overall opinion:
You can be whatever you want to be out there, no judgements, no requirements, no games... just acceptance

Conclusion:
Lits does not, nor has she ever,  belonged in Mississippi.
I'm moving to Los Angeles as soon as I can. Maybe next month, maybe next year, maybe in two years, but I'm not spending the rest of my life in this Redneck state full of closed-minded hicks

That reminds me... anyone going to Burning Man this year?

Concerning the batman movie being the third and final installment I think catwoman and riddler will be the villans in this one.. riddler mostly because he is a great character which isn't sooo far fetched and catwoman because she is also a great character for the series and was always a love interest and huge moral dilemma for batman...

the real question is who would play that character well?

I'm may be keeping an eye on this, but most likely not.  When I first started following the development information on the forums, I was immediately disppointed.  The reason being that they were not even going to try to bring the shipboard crew experience to the game that was such a huge part of the shows. As an engineer, you were not going to be able to sit at an engineering station or man the engine room while your online buddies manned security, conn, sick bay or any other such stations on one ship.  This was a huge disappointment to me and I lost all interest.

Another one to watch to see if there are any redeeming factors worth paying a monthly fee for.

This is what you get when you mix idiots with a tropical storm.

http://cbs4.com/local/Kite.Surfer.las.2.798049.html

Guy was kite surfing at Fort Lauderdale Beach on Monday as we were getting hit with the front end of Tropical Storm Fay.  Wind picked up the kite, and lifted him to what looks like a good 10+ feet off the ground.  He was slammed into the sand, and then the wind picked him up again.  He was dragged across the sand, and then over A1A.  A1A is the road that runs along the beach.  After going over A1A, he was slammed against the side of a building.

Watch the video on the right hand side.  The local CBS affiliate was there filming the conditions at the beach.  Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Nothing personal... But criminal lawyers are nothing but pimps... They pimp the law to those who have the money to afford it and the people who can't are screwed...

Personally if I go to talk to someone and they withhold, obfuscate, or refuse to talk to me... That person goes to the top of my list and I'll spend day and night trying to find whatever I can on them.

If you didn't do anything wrong then your best bet is to tell me that.  If you did do something wrong your best bet is not to tell me.  

If you didn't do something wrong and you don't tell me that then I am going to assume that you did something wrong and that is why you are not talklng to me.  

God I could go on but the simple fact gets down to this.  If your dealing with an agent/cop/investigator/etc. and you piss that person off by being a douche bag and not cooperating then chances are they are going to bite into your ass like pit bull and hold on until they find something wrong that you did do...

I decided to set it up, too, and I like it. I do miss not having the Google search bar on the top right corner, and I do miss not having my Adblock Plus and smooth scrolling. However, I'm sure that all of those will be able to be added relatively soon to the browser, as I know it's still in its early beta stages.

I will definitely keep my eye on this.

i lied i read the TOS and hate it

I'll pass on Google Chrome.  From what I understand Chrome records what sites you visited, what pages you saved, what tabs you've opened/closed, and what search engines you use most frequently.  Looking through the TOS, this is what they have to say about all that data they collect:

"a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services."

Long story short: your privacy is null and void when using this browser.  Google has history with shady software (such as Google Desktop Search taking "images" of your hard drive and sending it back to their servers) and this looks to be no different

So those of you who are my Xbox Live friends, you might notice that I really happen to like Burnout Paradise. Well after all this time I finally get to be a part of Paradise myself. Last CrashTV, Criterion Games put up a challenge, "Be the first person to finish an online Bike Challenge to win." Well I found out that the patch was getting released at 2am my time, I had nothing better to do that night and next morning so I stayed up all night, toggling between the game and XBL Marketplace waiting for the the patch to be downloadable (Note I only did this after 1:50am, played Bioshock the rest of the time). But in being so close to the main XBL Marketplace servers and pigging-backing on my schools network, I was able to download the patch in record time, So I got into the game (I still don't know what all those screens said, I hope they weren't that important.) and started an online room. (First one on XBL too bitches....) and a few minutes later I had my first joiner. Hitting up EasyDrive and hitting up the first challenge and completing it (then staying up all night completing all 70 Bike Challenges), I was announced on the latest CrashTV to be the winner, so now I get to get be a part of the new upcoming Island Patch. Woohoo. I just want to know what I get to do, name a street, if so, I'm so screwed, I can't decide what I would do if I got too.

What is one crazy thing she has done in the last seven months? As I do recall, she's led a very normal life since she received help back in February/March from both her parents and her doctors. They took her away from the evil people who were manipulating her, drugging her, and doing terribly awful things to her. Hell, if I were being drugged, manipulated, and influenced to act out irrationally, hell, I'd be even more of a wreck than her. I would think that having a bi-polar disorder or depression or a combination of the two would also exacerbate any issues like that. Of course, this is coming from an unintelligent form of life who must not know what he's talking about at all.

You're correct; she wasn't forced to do drugs. However, Sam Lutfi, the manipulator, admits to crushing drugs and putting it into her drinks on many different occasions. Britney's mother, Lynne, chronicles all of that in her new book that she released recently.

Moreover, when you're not in the right state of mind, due to whatever treatable mental illness she has, the things people say to you may have a different effect on you than they normally would. If, say, Sam Lutfi told Britney that taking this pill or drinking this drink would make her feel better (and, remember, she was NOT in the right state of mind), she would be inclined to believe him, and would then take the drink, eventually believing anything and everything he says.

I'm not defending what she did; it was stupid. I'm just trying to paint a more complete picture and see everything from both sides. The important part is is that the past is the past; she's done being crazy and is on the road back to living her life.

Maybe it should be "Covert Agent" or "Covert Field Operative" or even just "Field Operative" instead of Secret Agent.  No offense intended, but that term has been made very cheesy.

Personnel who were previously listed as Captains would be "Controllers" and Admins would be "Station Chiefs".

Black Ops are more the grunts of the covert world.  They are the operators like the SEALS or other similar force that do the door kicking.

I'm flying from LA to New Orleans on Christmas Day. One plane. Gonna be a looooong ride. I'll get into New Orleans at 12:15am on the 26th, then get in a car with my Dad and drive for four hours, spend two days in Mobile, then drive BACK to New Orleans and get on a plane to Omaha, NE where I'll rent a car and drive to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Spend two days there, then drive back to Nebraska and get on a plane back to LA. I'll get into LA about 10pm on New Year's Eve, go home, sleep. Then the next morning drive to Joshua Tree (3 hours), spend three days there and drive home.

Gonna be one hell of a holiday adventure!

Good things about the recession:
-Lower gas prices!!!

Bad things about the recession:
-when you lose your job because your skeezy boss wants to fuck you no one else wants to hire you because everyone else is out of work, too!

I'm thinking of starting a pirating and drug cartel off the coast of South Africa... recruiting now!!!

I think Cloverfield's viral marketing was the only cool thing about it.  When the movie was over, I was actually kind of pissed that there was absolutely no resolution whatsoever.  The movie didn't answer a single question that the all the hype had stirred up.

And the camera guy was annoying as fuck.  Constantly asking "What is that thing?!" as if everyone else knew exactly what was going on.  

Bah.  Thinking of that movie only breeds anger in me.

lol well it was a fondue restaurant and yes lobster was on the plate although there was no precious metals to be found :(  Unfrotunately Im not too fond of lobster oh well.  I mainly ate the steak and chicken, but there was much more to choose from on the plates.  There was also wine that came with it but since neither of us drink all that ended up being was something added to the bill.  It was a dang 5 course meal consisting of crab dip, salads, fiesta cheese fondue with bread fruit/veggies and chips. Then the steaks, chicken pork, lobster shrimp plate was next with their signature MOJO fondue sauce (no clue whats in it).  Then a chocolate PB mixture for strawberries, cakes bananas, ect.... It was real good but 200 good... I dont think so.  Another 30 of that price was spent on flowers that were on the table when we got there.    BTW the bill was only 230 of that 1000.

Attraction is attraction dude, there is no rhyme nor reason involved. I am attracted to a certain type of woman, it’s not based on fashion mags or what television tells me is beautiful. I’ve had 2 models as girl friends before and to be honest they were both fully crap. Physically I prefer a woman that I can hold onto and won’t break in 5 minutes. I don’t like stick figure squeezes,  firm and sporty is my thing. But if she doesn’t appeal to my head, then all she can give is image and a work out. I suppose the bottom line is if she does it for you, buy in and fuck the public opinion. Most of those you think are looking down on you for having a plump bit are probably lookin on and wishin they could grab some for themselves.
Much better to taste before you judge man.

Post by: likwidtek on February 18, 2009, 11:29:38 am
I am a chubby chaser.  :)  I don't like skinny girls but it all comes down to how they carry them selves.

I don't like a fat girl, I like a sexy girl with extra fluff.  Being a big boob worshiper generally the women come with some extra padding.  It makes them soft and more fun to cuddle.

The thing is you have to follow what drives you not what you are told to follow.  If you like skinny girls then don't feel guilty, just do it.  If you like 400 pounds and in a wheelchair then go for it!  

Eventually one of these women that you date is going to be your wife, so you better pick one that will turn you on in the long haul.  :)
Title: randomness
Post by: Manic Velocity on February 18, 2009, 12:22:05 pm
I like my women to have some curves.  Not "chubby" per se, but they gotta have something worth grabbing.  Phantom mentioned Lohan, and frankly I think she was at her hottest when she had her red hair and those delicious hips.  She had some meat on her bones, but she wasn't chubby by any means.  Nowadays she just reminds me of Paris Hilton which makes me cringe.

My friends call me a "MILF Hunter" because I tend to like older women.  My girlfriend is 35.  She's 11 years older than me.  But we have a great relationship.  We even got complimented by an elderly woman at a restaurant because she thought we were a cute couple.

Just feel comfortable with your personal tastes.  Like Brannigan said, attraction is attraction.  It's not something you should second-guess.

Don't follow your penis if you want to have a relationship :)

Curvy girls are much better than sticks but I usually go for personality these days :)
Title: randomness
Post by: Phienyx on February 18, 2009, 02:52:22 pm
I don't like stick figure chicks either.  The woman I'm dating is not that by any means.  She's got curves, boobs and she's solid.  Most importantly, she's got my back mentally, emotionally and SHE LETS ME PLAY GAMES and loves guns.....lol.

Go for who you find attractive, but don't forget that what is equally (and even more so) important, is finding a quality woman with character and substance.

Now if all you're looking for is someone to fuck, then by all means, the last requirements aren't important, but that is just trouble waiting to happen.....at the least it will leave you feeling empty and shallow.

Lithium has never "burned" me.  You'll notice that he brings up homosexuality quite often.  So much so that I doubt he thinks of much else.  If Jungian psychology has taught me anything, I'd say Lithium has repressed his own homosexuality so much that it now rules his thoughts.  And this playground teasing is his not-so-subtle way of coming out to me.  Like when little girls pick on boys so they can get close to them without showing any real signs of affection.

Some prick tried to tell me that the only reason he was nominated (and won), was because he passed away.

This same prick also tried to tell me that Robert Downey Jr's performance in Tropic Thunder should have won over Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight.

I loved Downey Jr's performance in Tropic Thunder, but it didn't come anywhere CLOSE to Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight.

I really hope (as I believe), that Heath won because the Academy really did praise his performance and not just because he passed away.
Title: randomness
Post by: Phienyx on February 23, 2009, 02:35:10 pm
Heath would have won that award even if he had been alive.  I dare anyone watch Dark Knight with an open mind and tell me that that Joker performance was not disturbing, riveting and unique all at the same time.  That was one of the most realistic portrayals of a brilliant mind gone homicidally wrong, that I have ever seen.  That was a performance that can not be compared to any other.

Dead (RIP) or alive, that was a well earned Oscar.  

This may or may not be true to one extent or another, but I've heard that the medication he was taking was to help him deal with the effects of delving so deeply into the depraved mind of the character.

Bravo Mr. Ledge.

Title: randomness
Post by: Subb on March 06, 2009, 01:35:43 pm
I just played a game against the CPU on 'standard setting', it gave me 2 minutes to set up my base and start getting my troops equipped with heavy weaponry and sergeants (I play as Space Marines) before they tried to Zerg me.

Dawn of War gets you to think and adapt to gameplay and not just throw everything in, i.e. I was stuck during the game mentioned above - there was a stalemate so I had to use drop pods from the 'battle barge' (spaceship) in orbit to drop down three squads of tactical marines to get behind the blighters.

Although, Dawn of War II only gives you a handful of infantry and gets you to think about cover and weapon selections.

Personally, I prefer it to StarCraft = I love the 'sync-kills' and the overall vicious gameplay.

Yeah - was suprisingly hard in some places. I want the old Zombies back though 'cause I'm hunting down Resident Evil 2 on the Playstation (I think it plays on the 1st gen. PS3) or for the Gamecube. Well written story aswell... is the series finished now? 'cause I love Chris as the main character (and that he's built like a shitbrickhouse also helps smacking the crap out of the Majini).

Have you?
Title: randomness
Post by: Jeyk on March 17, 2009, 04:11:40 am
Yeah, I've beaten it - loved it, as it provided many answers which I came in seeking.  It would seem that they can conclude the story at this point, but there are a number of things which still need to be addressed, which I'm sure they will do in future games as they have been consistent thus far in explaining as much as they have (I'll do my best to keep this spoiler free for those of you who are still playing or plan on picking it up):

First and foremost, I would imagine there is a LOT of cleanup to do with one particular facility in mind that you see in this game, as well as taking care of this new company which arose in the story.

Additionally, I would like them to:

a) Elaborate on what happened to Sherry Birkin (Wesker has her, according to canon)

b) Show what happened to Ada

c) Flesh out interactions a bit more between Leon/Chris/Claire and their work with the government (the recent CGI film Resident Evil:  Degeneration touched up on this a bit - watch it if you haven't already) - particularly because there was U.S. government involvement in regard to the Raccoon City incident

d) Explain what has been done with the remnants of Raccoon City (Umbrella continued research here for some time after it was nuked and before the company was shut down)

Considering all of the above, there are still samples of T-Virus / G-Virus / T-Veronica / Las Plagas / Uroburos and their derivatives floating around on the black market and in various laboratories (hence, why BSAA was established), and because of the nature of these viruses, a large scale catastrophic outbreak is inevitable.  

Maybe the next RE will deal a global outbreak?

Title: randomness
Post by: Jeyk on March 17, 2009, 03:27:16 pm
Yes, I own Outbreak and Outbreak File #2 - you can likely find them dirt cheap if you get them used.  Here's the only problem, though - the servers for both games have been shut down, so you'll have to play single player with shitty AI use Yoko!.

If you like the old school RE games, then definitely pick them both up.  Also, they add slightly to the story of RE2.

Title: randomness
Post by: Jeyk on March 17, 2009, 05:22:38 pm
What is REbirth?  Yes, Code Veronica is one of the best of the series with the old style gameplay; it's also a crucial component of the main story, as it centers around Chris/Wesker/Claire.  I would say you can hold off on the Outbreak series and pick up CV in the meanwhile.  Have you played 0 as well?

If you've got a 1st generation PS3 with the emotion engine chip (PS2 chip) in it, you should be able to play it - also, it's called "Code Veronica X" now - they added some new content to it.  0 is still fun to play...you have to control two characters and manage their inventories/actions, similar to how you did in 5.
Title: randomness
Post by: Tecknik on March 18, 2009, 03:08:01 pm
Code Veronica X was one of my favorite RE games.

If you've got a Wii, The Umbrella Chronicles is a must.
Title: randomness
Post by: Jeyk on March 20, 2009, 02:23:23 am
Agreed, Teck - that is another recommendation for you Subb...Umbrella Chronicles presents a wealth of information specifically pertaining to Wesker (you play as him in numerous scenarios) beginning back at the Spencer Estate from the first game.  It also contains a new scenario with the BSAA in 2002.  Keep in mind, though - it's an "on-rails" shooter.

By the way - rolling your own cigarettes is totally worth the hassle once you get good at it and adjust to the flavor of the tobacco.

Or you could just quit.  I smoked for about 16 years off and on.  Quitting was hard but so worth it.  I feel better and have extra money.  A lot of extra money.

My medical opinion is (I fucking love saying that *smug smile*) it all depends on how much you smoke - I know people who smoke about two a day and have had scans and their lungs are fine. Although, if you're a heavy smoker I urge you to cut down - it's fucking nasty stuff...

Can't say I'm an angel (ba-dum-BISH!); I've had smokes and cigars (much prefer the latter) but I don't get hooked to nicotine so I can just smoke one or two and then stop for a few months.
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on March 21, 2009, 11:59:46 am

I smoked as a teen, basicly until I met my wife. I wish I hadn't. I'll still have a cigar once in a while, but who can pass those up?

Vail, Colorado currently has a Winter Storm Warning. They are expecting between 10 and 20 inches of snow (between 250 and 500cm).

Seriously? My family just arrived there today for Spring Break for my little brother, who's still in high school.

I can honestly say that I would do pretty much everything and anything to be in 10 inches of powder tomorrow.

Does any of your math involve methods to speed up factoring huge primes; pseudoprimes and primality testing; Pollard rho methods; basic finite field theory; discrete logs; or proving discrete congruences?

Didn't think so. Don't complain.

I agree with that, It is a LOT of fun and definitely worth the money.

Lots of reviews give it crap for having sub- par graphics, cookie cutter missions (In all honesty Assassin's Creed had more Cookie cutter missions then this. This the missions aren't all the exact same shit) and retarded AI (this i will give... the NPC's are quite retarded... but doesn't matter too much since they're dead before they can realize it =x).

i'm not really sure what's up these reviewers asses (probably not money from the devs since some give clearly biased reviews for Infamous over Prototype when instead of comparing the two and giving their review they should just review the games period) but this game is damn nice!


This game gives you the ability to fully free roam around an infected Manhattan Island at an amazingly fast pace with the power to manipulate your body into weapons, other people, etc. and has a pretty damn decent story to say the least.

I say get it for sure.

Surely you guys can find more flaws then "I just don't like him". What happened to him being a "socialist, Muslim anti-Christ terrorist"?

Say what you want, but Bush had the lowest approval rating at the end of his term, only outdone by Truman during the Korean war and Nixon during Watergate. Obama started his presidency with one of the highest approval ratings, matched only by Kennedy.

Of course, after Bush, a rock as president is a breath of fresh air. The truth is, Obama has done so much for the international community already. I don't agree with everything, but the difference is having a leader who sees everything as a black-and-white, good vs. evil, us vs. them, Christians vs. Heathens and a leader who understands a little more the complexity of the world and its different cultures and the importance of reaching across the divide in an attempt to say "we have the WORLD'S best interest in mind" and not just "we have OUR best interest in mind". Some would say that's a flaw to consider others and not just Americans. Americans are still number 1...we're just not gonna fuck everyone else over because they don't like us and we don't understand them.

When I hear people say "we just need to nuke them", it's like I think they don't understand that there are millions and millions of innocent, friendly people who live in these countries. You can't just "nuke" anyone, or you end up with just these mass amounts of civilian casualties - the very people we want to "free and bring democracy to", whether they like it or not. Hiroshima, anyone?

I'm very thankful that Obama is president right now, because I fear a different president would have already had us fighting in Iran (because apparently that's OUR revolution, even though both sides still hate the USA for meddling?) and North Korea (first Korean war went pretty well, eh?), while still fighting in Iraq (glad that only took a couple of days) and Afghanistan (Osama Bin who?). And if you want to keep America first, fighting a four-front war with countries whom some have world-power allies is not the safest bet.

Meh, everyone has opinions.
Title: randomness
Post by: Tbone on June 26, 2009, 07:23:56 pm
I think the term "Burn in Hell" should be reserved for someone who rapes or murders someone close to you. Someone you know has done it. Something very personal.

MJ was controversial for sure, and I'm certainly not defending any of his bizarre actions. He was obviously very disturbed and had issues. He also did a lot of amazing things, raising millions of dollars in charity. His music touched a lot of people.

I guess what I'm saying is to wish someone to "burn in hell" for something that you think they may have done or assume they did or feel they did seems a little insensitive and judgmental. Maybe he is a sick sick bastard, but even so I would think a "God-fearing" person who believes in a hell would rather say "I hope he found Jesus before he died" instead of "burn in hell, mutha fucka!".

Lol...I don't know why things have been rubbing me the wrong way today.

well the 2 months salary is basically what a jewelry store will tell you so they can get more money naturally.. but most people atleast down here dont even get a "wedding ring" they get a wedding band.  It is hard to have a wedding band cost more than the engagement ring.  If I were to do the 2 months salary plus make the wedding band cost more that would be over 19,000 dollars in rings holy fook. lol

Fuck that for a bag of chips. If I ever propose, we're getting haribo rings.

Post by: Lits on July 02, 2009, 02:35:30 pm
Trust me, the price of the ring is only relevant to two factors:
1. You can afford it (financing is a great option)
2. You spent enough to show that it was a big investment. Meant you have to save up and sacrifice for it, and that you've really thought this through. It shows your commitment to the coming relationship.

Two month's salary is just a guideline.

So Corey Vidal did a video on Youtube of himself lipsyncing Moosebutter's song, Star Wars (John Williams Is The Man).  The names of each of the songs appears at the top of the video at the beginning of each song.



I guess it got pretty popular on YouTube.  so he got together with Moosebutter, and filmed a video of them doing it live.



I laughed, and I figured some of you would too.

Apologies for the dbl post, but I had to do this:

So one of my jobs is that I work in promotions for a West Side strip club. We go around in a team to other bars and populated places and give out free passes to the club from 7pm - 2am. (that's 4am FA Time which is why I'm gone most nights /sigh)

Tonight while we were at a bar I got to talking to this guy and I was wearing this long black billowy coat. He noticed the all black outfit, the short hair, and the boots and said I kinda looked like Trinity. So we got to talking about how much we loved the Matrix and it turns out he played in Beta! He couldn't remember what server he was on or what his character name was, but he was a member of Sacred Order and he also tried for months to get past the FA challenge but couldn't get past question #2. When I told him I AM FA he freaked out. He loved the movies and couldn't believe I knew Tbone personally. (I didn't tell him any real details, just that we went to college together). Looks like we still have fans, even those who don't play anymore!

This is myself and Peter Liu:
I told him to keep an eye out for the new movie coming out. Nice guy.

I thought that might be the case.

Okay, so now the question is, what kind of audio inputs does the DVD player have?  Most DVD Surround Sound systems will have an auxiliary input for audio coming from another source.

It's probably not going to be HDMI.  If there is one, it will most likely be a digital S/PDIF input, or an analog stereo input.  If it's a S/PDIF, it will be one of two connections.  It will either be a TOSLINK ("red laser thing") optical cable, or a single RCA connection (orange in color, will be marked "DIGITAL").  If it's an analog stereo input, it'll be your standard Red-Right/White-Left connection.

If it is the Stereo RCA inputs, use an HDMI cable to connect to your TV.  Then use the composite (Yellow/Red/White) RCa cable that should have come with the PS3, to hook up to the auxiliary input.  Go into to your crossbar, and go to settings.  Set your video settings to use the HDMI cable at whatever your highest resolution is.  Then go to the audio settings and set the audio to use the composite cable, selecting whatever surround sound options your system supports.

If it has the TOSLINK connection, it's all done the same way.  Use your HDMI for video, and set the TOSLINK for audio.

If your DVD player has both, I'd recommend the digital TOSLINK over the analog stereo RCA.

Quote from: "Madbent"

As far as who I admire - I think FA is hands down deserves that recognition. You have to credit Tbone, Broin and crew for sticking to a very consistent 'brand' over the years. The insular, detached, and somewhat arrogant flair... good fighters overall, work well as a Team, never apologize to their haters... and full of intelligent, seemingly successful people in RL behind the RSIs. Everyone has seen their work in the Community. My only disappointment with them was the lack of activity over the past year or so. ML had a great time with them in PvP and quite entertaining RP drama as well as event stuff. Zion lost something on Vector I believe in their absence. And overall I don't think the game would have been the same without them around.


Quote from: "Mercio"

My third, and number one choice, would have to be the Furious Angels. There reputation started in closed beta, and just continued to grow. I remember reading articles on them, and seeing TBone's profile in the MXO magazine. I was a huge fan of these guys. I applied to join these guys, actually.... twice. Each time I got denied, the explanation I got was that I was too much of a Zion, and was suspicious.

FA continued to impress me with all of their movies, their dominant presence on Enumerator and then -- to a lesser extent -- on vector. If there was any kind of major event you could bet your butt that FA would be there in full uniform lead by TBone. There PvP was excellent and a true contender on the server. One of the reasons why they were great as a faction was because of the members they had in their group. Each one of them was resourceful, smart, and genuinely a good person. (Even you, Dago ). ML had some great times with FA, whether it was PvP, some entertaining RP, or competing to be number 1 at live events. If I had to choose two factions that would make up "True" Zion on Vector. It would be the Furious Angels and Morpheus' Legacy. Hats off to this group, and I can't wait to see the Director's Cut of your new movie.

Either your standards are too high or the men you date are too low quality, or both.

Many women secretly want to marry men that are either exactly like their fathers or exactly opposite their fathers. Try finding guys that fall into one of those two categories.

On a slightly related note, I think guys need to start making a bit more of an effort in terms of chivalry.

It pisses me off when I open the car door for my girlfriend, and the guy who is parked right next to me sees me do this, and still doesn't bother to do the same for his girlfriend.  What happened to the days when being a gentleman wasn't synonymous with pussy-whipped?
Title: randomness
Post by: Tbone on August 08, 2009, 08:38:15 pm
That died when girls got the idea of "Um, I can open my own damn door. You're still not gonna get in my pants." I mean, I still do it when I go on dates, but not when I'm at the grocery store. Equal rights! Why don't girls open the door for me? Huh? Huh???!! It's sexism!
Title: randomness
Post by: Phienyx on August 08, 2009, 08:59:27 pm
Gotta agree with T on this.  You can't blame the lack of chivarly only on men.  Women's attitudes have changed drastically over the decades.  Some women still appreciate this, while others get angry when you try to show a bit of chivarly and see it as a gesture indicating that they cannot do for themselves.

I am not against chivalry at all.  I have actually had this conversation with a few women.  I've tried to explain to them that chivalrous gestures were not intended to symobolize a woman's weakness, rather they were gestures of adoration, endearment and service on the part of the man.    ....But you can't tell women shit these days, can you.  ;)  I've seen men berated by women (not men) for trying to be chivalrous.  In that respect, women have killed chivarly.

Post by: Lits on August 08, 2009, 09:02:15 pm
Compromise is always a great option. On dates and special evenings it's a wonderful treat to feel like a lady.... *respected* but if it is done all the time it becomes less special. At work my team leader always insists on opening the doors for us ladies and sometimes it gets a little annoying. Sometimes it's good to be treated like an equal and sometimes it's good to be treated special. It's all about BALANCE :)

Then again, it all depends on the girl. I knew a girl once who apparently did not have the requisite training to turn a knob on her own. She'd sit there and wait, sometimes for five mins at a time, for her guy to open the door while he carried the groceries or the dog or whatever from the car. Honestly I don't know HOW she got in and out when she was alone!

What is the opinion of a guy paying for dinner and movies on dates?
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on August 08, 2009, 09:32:35 pm
Guy should always pay. Period. dot.

Only exception is if the woman asked the guy out for a date, then each could pay for themselves.
Title: randomness
Post by: Manic Velocity on August 08, 2009, 09:44:45 pm
I always open doors for my lady, and she is always mindful to smile and thank me. It's not something she expects me to do, and she knows she can open her own door if my hands are full. I consider it a sign of respect and I enjoy doing it. It just rubs me the wrong way when a guy has the opportunity to be a gentleman and doesn't take it.

And Lits, I would think that you (women) would want to be treated like a lady at all times, not just on special occasions. Am I wrong in thinking that way?

As for the guy paying for the date, he should at least offer to pay. If the woman prefers to pay her share, the guy should respect that.

Every couple should or does have their own understanding on these matters, so one shouldn't be quick to judgement on what we think they should be doing for their woman/or man.  Perhaps some of these men who don't open doors for their women have women who don't really care or don't want that.  Perhaps they have other ways of showing their love, and respect that works just fine for them.

But if you know your woman appreciates that, then by all means, do it for her.

Post by: Phienyx on August 09, 2009, 08:55:18 am
I, personally prefer to pay on dates because I am old fashioned in that respect and I think it is a matter of pride and honor and the desire "take care of" (so to speak) the person I'm on the date with.

  Back in the good ol' days, it wasn't as common for women to work as it was for men.  So a young man courting a young woman had the means to pay for dates more often than the young lady did.  These days, more often than not, a young lady is going to have some means of income, so the original reasoning no longer really applies and is now simply a galant gesture.  Also, in this day and age the ever growing population of gold digger is increasing so one must watch out for that as well.

Ultimately, once again, it is up to the people involved.  I am, however against the woman always paying if the man is capable to paying as well.  That senario just screams "I'm a bitch" on the part of the man.

Sometimes I think we men left a little confused when equallity is always thrown in our faces.  Not that we don't look upon women as less than men, but those of us who are older were taught that men are to do certain things for women.  This, as a show of affection, love, respect and honor.  But we struggle with the idea that if women want to be treated 100% exactly like men in all respects, why should we go out of our way to give them special treatment for any reason?  Why should we open doors for them, or pay for their meals any more than they should do that for us?  Do they really want equality or special treatment?

WHAT?! First of all there's the saying that we all pay for sex, whores are just honest and up front about the price...

But saying that paying money for a dinner with the intention of spending quality time with someone you truely care about is the same as paying money with the intention of sex is the same thing is complately wrong. Under your belief, any kind gesture is payment similar to an escort? BS.

Didn't mean to upset the romantics, I should put it in context. I'm not referring to committed relationships, I'm talking about dates with people you don't live with/plan on marrying.

When you're first going out with someone, the women have all the power, because unless the guy is a rapist, the woman controls when the sex happens. Often time that can be after you have spent a bundle on food and drinks- $100, $200, or much more if you go out on multiple pre-sex dates. I am bitter because I feel that's really unfair.

For that reason I also feel the best dates are free or at least under $10. A walk in the park with ice cream is more romantic than an expensive dinner/entertainment combo in my opinion.

In an ideal world we'd get the sex out of the way first and then get to know each other, would even the playing field.

Sooo... dating without marriage is simply a means to an end (sex), which makes it nothing more than legalized prostitution, so all single women can hold sex over men's heads just so they can get a free dinner?  That's insulting to men and women alike.

Not all guys feign kindness and respect in the hope that it will earn them some pussy.  Some guys, yes, but definitely not all.  And believe it or not, there happen to be a lot of women who actually find sex enjoyable.  They don't just roll their eyes and go through with it to keep a man happy.

Phienyx hit the nail on the head, and I really should have considered it earlier.  A room full of 50 couples will give you 50 different ideas of what "romance" is.  To some couples, it might mean a walk in the park with ice cream.  To other couples, it might mean enacting a rape fantasy.  It all depends on the couple.

Ohhh Tbone *pats head* how much do I love you?
----

I have to agree with Phienyx as well. Good move on the idividuality.

On first dates I really really like a guy who will pay. I will offer to leave the tip, or buy him a drink afterwards (mostly because I like to project a sense of independency and equalness, which I value a lot in a relationship) but I'm totally comfortable letting him refuse. If I'm comfortable with someone (or presumably when I'm married) and I ask HIM to somewhere I like to foot the bill to show that I care enough to treat him to feeling special.

And on the door thing... it's wonderful to be placed on a pedastal, but not all the time. Sometimes I just wanna play poker with the guys and drink beer and talk about football and XBox. The door opening all the time (just to me, not all women) is kind of like saying "you're different, I have to look out for you" and it's not always appropriate to me. (but if I'm in a cocktail dress and heels, I would expect it-- mostly cause it's a bitch to get out of a car in those:) )

So I guess the solution is, find a girl who feels the same way you do about these things and it's a good indicator of how the relationship will go in the long haul.

No, it's 16 for softcore, I believe. Aka 'glamour model'/'vajjin like sleeve of wizard'.

Porn is 18, but there was a discussion in parliment a few years ago about lowering the age to buy porn down to 16/Age of consent.

Porn is 18, but there was a discussion in parliment a few years ago about lowering the age to buy porn down to 16/Age of consent.


Ok now I'm confused. I know it works this way in the states also, but how is it that the absurdity of it hasn't hit anyone yet?

A person can be legally mature enough to make the decision to have sex, but they may not be legally mature enough to make the decision to purchase images of sex? It just seems backwards.

That goes along with: "why can you joing the military, nay, be DRAFTED at 18, but you can't go to bars, buy liqour or gamble (with anything but your life) until 21?"

And in some states, you have to be 21 to marry without parental consent. But you can go and get yourself shot at?

As far I have always been told, if you get drafted (or just join) you're allowed to drink at the military bars at 18.

Because at 18 you can vote on the policies that may or may not get you drafted.

If I remember correctly, the minimum age for the draft was originally 16.  Kids were being sent to war by men they couldn't have voted for or against.

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report make you think and question the people who tell you what the "news" is. Obviously the shows have their own opinions and have commentary on the events. The big difference is that they don't have anyone behind the curtain forcing them to do things a certain way. Jon Stewart runs the whole shebang and just calls it like he sees it. He doesn't hide his opinion, but he also doesn't try to claim that his opinion is fact.

In most cases they take a news story, show you what both sides are saying, and point out the flawed logic on both sides. For instance, most recently, health care. One side: people screaming at town hall meetings about random "distrust" and "fear" without discussing the actual issues with the flawed logic that this is somehow going to change people's opinions on the matter. And then the other side: democrats saying the bill doesn't have any of the things that are causing fear but then saying that the bill hasn't really been finalized and that there's no way to clearly define what it is, with the flawed logic that that isn't going to make some people uneasy.

Then they take a look at what the news sources are saying about the issues and point out the hypocrisy in that. For instance, Glen Beck ranting about how our health care is the best health care in the world and how dare anyone try to take that away, but then showing a clip of just nine months ago where he was ranting about how our current health care system completely leaves out the "normal guy" and then did a whole expose about how bad America's health care system is. Then there's just the question of what changed in the last 9 months?

Seriously, though, Stewart and Colbert are seen by a majority as the voice of reason - they say the things that any normal person who is really closely following things would say or ask. Yeah, obviously their liberal, but they also take jabs at both sides of the fence. Most importantly, they do a good job of keeping the other "legit" news sources honest. They represent the younger generation, a generation that is generally seen as more accepting and open-minded (or naive and foolish, depending on your spin =P).

I read the AP News on my iPhone and then watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report to see what the commentary is from various news sources as well as Stewart and Colbert themselves. I know where I'm from, everyone says FOX news is the only reliable news source and they refuse to watch anything else. That just seems ignorant and close-minded to me. Saying you trust FOX the most is fine, but to put your fingers in your ears and say "lalalala I can't hear you b/c you're wrong" to everything else... But I suppose we all do it, to an extent. I'll watch fox every now and again, but when I do, I usually wish my fingers were in my ears just to avoid the headache!

Darn tootin'...

I love how the anti-healthcare system reformers have the argument that more of the elderly and sick will die in a system like we have, even though in the NHS the elderly and ill (duh!) have priority over those who are A) young enough to last longer and B) those who are having non-vital surgery e.g. breast implants or facial reconstruction.

I really don't get why you guys don't like the idea of a reform - if you want to have treatment like the current system, can't you just take out insurance and get it privately?

Plus, the poor will finally get fair treatment.

I'd love to hear what you guys have to say aboot it :)

Post by: Tbone on August 16, 2009, 12:43:47 pm
Basically Subb, change = scaaaaarrrry! Also, many people take a free market, capitalist system to mean that the poor should NOT get fair treatment. The idea is that it is their own fault that they are poor and lazy, and therefore don't deserve to live if they haven't made enough of their lives to afford our current health care. The other big issue is that big insurance companies are more important than sick people - in other words, it's more important to let private companies have complete control over health care and allow them to drop people who get "too" sick or have pre-existing conditions if it will help save them a dime but save them from having to compete with a government health care, than to have a government health care that provides an option for those who really need it but causes competition for the insurance company and maybe even persuades them to change their policies to actually COVER people who get sick.

Those are the issues but the stuff you'll hear about are the "scare tactics" - Obama is going to have his own "death panel" to decide if you should die (stems from an end-of-life counseling option...lol) or that there's going to be a Washington DC bureaucrat standing in between you and your doctor (as opposed to an insurance company that's only game is to make a profit on you not getting sick).

My dad's an insurance salesman and my brother just got his license in life and health insurance. I still think the reform is important and that it's not gonna run my family out of business.

Post by: Broin on August 16, 2009, 01:37:19 pm
Yeah us crazy free market system people are just insane.  Look the simple short of it is this.  You can not have a goverment run system and a private system at the same time, and call it free market.  Free market meaning that the consumer (consumer=private citizen) chosing what coverage they want.  

The goverment is a huge beast that doesn't give two shits about how much they spend or charge for things.  They don't have to, why because all they need to do is either 1) Print more money or 2) take more money.  Private companies that would need to make profit (oh my god there is that evil work profit) could not compete against the goverment plan.  

In essence what would happen is over a short period of time all the companies that had their own private insurance would eventually be forced to drop that insurance and opt for the public option.  It is written into the damb bill that way.  If you don't have the type of coverage that the goverment "deems appropriate" for your employees then the private company gets slammed with additional taxes.  

Will there be death panels?  Yes.  It's that simple there will be some bureaucrat somewhere making a decision as to whether a procedure for someone meets a specific criteria to make it cost effective.  Dude it is that plain and simple.  It is that way in every public option plan out there.  It is that way in Brittain, it is that way in Canada, and it is that way currently here in the US with the public Medicaid and Medicare systems.  If you need a procedure and someone else is paying for it other than you then someone is going to be looking at that procedure and determining whether it is necessary for you.  

The main part of the problem is there does need to be reform, but the reform that needs to take place is getting the freakin goverment out of the system.

Think about it like this.  T is a pretty young guy, pretty healthy, not much worry for certain types of things like let's say breast cancer.  Now before you go laughing I want you to stop and think about this.  If T wanted to buy a health insurance policy specifically for himself the goverment deems that, that policy has to cover mamograms.  Doesn't matter that T doesn't have tits, it still has to be in there.

So what if you are private company who highers mostly men construction workers and you want to get insurance for them.  You think you'd be able to buy a policy specifically designed for your employees right.  Bullshit... The goverment deems mandatory types of coverage has to be held in that policy whether it would be beneficial to your employees or not.

Tell you what T go ask your dad about it, and all the mandatory crap that the goverment makes you put into policies and ask him if it'd be a better fix to allow people to develop their own policies with their own private insurance companies, and have a specific type of public option for everyone to cover only the catastrophic rare circumstances.

Oh, and back to this..

Also, many people take a free market, capitalist system to mean that the poor should NOT get fair treatment. The idea is that it is their own fault that they are poor and lazy, and therefore don't deserve to live if they haven't made enough of their lives to afford our current health care

You're damn right... Life is not fair didn't anybody tell you that when you were growing up.  For the most part most of the people who are currently on the goverment rolls are poor lazy worthless shits.  Either that or illegal.  

Despite that they ALL HAVE INSURANCE COVERAGE.  It's fucking called MEDICAID AND MEDICARE.  In addition the goverment has deemed that no one in need of care can be turned away from the hospital.  There isn't one person out there "legally" in this country who is a US citizen that can't get coverage (.) <-- PERIOD.  Plus there are hundreds of programs developed by private companies and coallitions to get people their treatments, and prescriptions, etc.

Simple thing is people don't want the goverment fucking with them anymore.  I mean dude seriously the goverment options Medicaid, Medicare are just rampant with fraud waste and abuse.  Anything the goverment touches turns to shit.  The only thing we have ever been able to do right is break things and kill people, and the dumb shits in there now want to limit that.

Seriously don't get me started any more that what I am because I'll slam down alot more facts and figures and bury you in it.

They don't give a crap about health care.  They don't give a crap about you.  They just want the control you.... (insert your explitives)

Words of wisdom live by them.

Post by: Da6onet on August 16, 2009, 03:13:09 pm
In an ideal world, health insurance under Obama would work similar to the US Post Office vs UPS/FedEx/DHL/etc.

That is, you have a government entity that takes care of the money losing side of things, i.e. FedEx does not want to mail your postcards and personal letters for $0.45, and for important shipments such as your Ebay collectible transformers, you have the option of using a private carrier, but can still use the post office, it is your "choice."

In this analogy, government run health plans would basically be one big money loser (shocking concept I know), but it would catch everyone else that isn't under another private plan or those who choose a government plan. So why would someone choose BlueCross BlueShield over a government plan? I'll use Broin's example, Tbone doesn't need gyno visits/treatments, so a unique private plan that meets his needs would be better suited to him.

The ultimate problem with insurance is that it is a gamble on the health of people, except that when someone gets sick, they're usually the person that pays for the gamble, not the insurance company or even a well intentioned government. Example, someone with rheumatoid arthritis usually has to take rather expensive drugs like Humira, a biologic, costs roughly $25,000 per year out of pocket (that's just the Humira, that doesn't include the doctor visits, xrays, etc). A private health insurance company would not accept that person under a new policy because it's a pre-existing condition. A government run plan should really be the one to pick up the tab in that case, because otherwise it financially cripples a working class family or that person becomes crippled faster because they can't get their medication, in which case they file for disability and end up leeching off the government anyway.

We have medicaid for people who cannot afford a private plan currently, but as with nearly all government vs private plans, for whatever reason, there is a gap, not an overlap, between the two. Meaning, if you make 50k+ per year, you should be able to afford health insurance. If you make less than 20k per year, you should be able to qualify for medicaid (provided you're smart enough to navigate through the process). For those people making between 20-50k per year, they're essentially fucked if their employer doesn't offer them an plan they can afford.

What most people don't realize is that around 45% of the country actually falls into the 20-50k range. Those at the upper end are spending money they really can't sustain to keep coverage and the ones at the low end typically realize it's better for their health if they stop working and collect unemployment/welfare and medicaid. The ones that haven't gone either route are the ones congress is trying to help really, the ones who choose groceries over penicillin but still work and pay taxes.

As for illegal immigrants, fuck em, if they die, their will be two more to replace them tomorrow.

Ask anyone in the healthcare system who works with patient if its a good idea-youll get the same answer. NO! I have a friend who has been an MD for 10 year. He grew up in Canada but moved here right after college and began his residency. He knows better than I what a clusterfuck gov run healthcare is. He ran away from it. Everyone at my wifes hospital is afraid. Its not about fearing change-the HC system needs change, but not this. Look at the DMV, medicare/medicade, social security, amtrak, the postal service, or simply our budget for an example of how great the gov can fuckup a system. Why would you put your trust in them with a record like thiers? Would you invest in someone like that?

I think it's worth pointing out that the BIGGEST problems with healthcare in this country is the cost of treatement. Drug companies (which are privately owned) have little to no restriction on what they can charge for their product, regaurdless of how necessary it might be to a patient. First and foremost we should find some way to curb the indredible markup on these drugs (some just ARE NOT available in generic, and even some generics are outrageous).  Some CEO is getting rich exploiting the people in pain he's claiming to help.

For example... my boyfriend (who makes between 20K and 50K a year and therefore cannot get medicare or afford private coverage and works for himself, so is not covered under any employer) just spent a week in the hospital for a seriously painful condition. The hospital stay alone was 2K a day for the room, the CT scan was a little under 5K, and we haven't even recieved the bill for the antibiotics and pain killers he was constantly recieving. We guesstimate that the total bill will be just over 20K.

WHY? some will claim that doctors need so much cash to pay off med school loans, but the fact is hospital docs and techs don't actually make that much. So where is the money going? The hospital higher ups who never actually see the patients or do any work for them, and the drug companies.

Four years ago I went to the ER for a cut in my hand. The doc spent LITERALLY 10 mins with me, gave me a tetanus shot, put surgical superglue on my cut and then charged me 2K. For ten mins, a $30 shot, and $4 worth of surgical superglue. THIS IS FUCKED TO HELL.

ALSO hospitals generally tack on extra charges because they "need" to cover those who recieve treatment and walk out never paying because they CAN'T. How does  that make sense? They charge more money from the ones who will pay to cover for those who don't pay because the bill is already too high?

Now because I only make 12K a year I qualify for the free clinic in Venice. My regular checkups at the gyno are free, and any medications I may need are also covered. I love this idea. If I made more money, I would pay for these visits. These are necessary services that should not be restricted to the rich... or even to the rich and the middle class! If you can pay, pay. If you can't, we'll help you out. It seems fine to me.


IF I WERE FIXING THIS SHIT:


Perhaps the solution is the system of the Venice Free Clinic on a macro scale.

1. Curb the drug companies' power
   a. Make is federal law to ensure there is a generic form for all prescriptions (ie anti-monopoly laws)
   b. Restrict prices on necessary medications OR
   c. Charge a different price for different levels of patients' income


2. Tweak the HC system we already have in place to cover everyone with a SSN
   a. Free coverage, treatment, and drugs for the lowest income bracket
   b. Small copays for lower middle class
   c. Medium copays for upper middle class
   d. Higher copays for everyone above
...........you get the idea

And here's the kicker... keep the free market system in place! If someone wants an elective proceedure, they will have to pay for it themselves (breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, etc). AND if you prefer to have a doctor not on the government payroll, pay for one yourself.

The trick to having GOOD doctos working for Universal Healthcare AND still having a Free Market is to offer tax breaks to docs:

Offices who treat 60% - 90% of patients under UHC recieve a tax break corresponding with the number --of people who qualify in the above UHC stratus I've outlined.
Offices who treat 90%-95% of the above patients who qualify will be tax exempt
And Offices who treat 96%-100% of the above will be tax exempt AND on the government payroll.

That way a hybrid of the two (UHC and FM) creates just enough space so that everyone can be covered and recieve treatment and meds, and if you want to pay for extras you CAN.


Call me a socialist. Go ahead. But this and education are the ONLY issues I'll be a socialist on.
Everything else I'm basically a near-Libertarian.

I do not think the healthcare and insurance system is perfect - it is vastly flawed and does indeed need an overhaul. But it needs an overhaul that doesn't involve one person paying for another persons healthcare. Healthcare reform should be more focused on lowering costs, while maintaining or improving level of care. Competition does this. Capitalism does this. Socialism and Fascism does not.

I agree. What we seem to disagree on is how we should help. I don't think people should be FORCED into helping. i.e.taxes. Here in Illinois we already give free healthcare to people with low income all the time, and it's sad because those people for the most part abuse the system. The local hospital also offers complete bill writeoffs if an application is completed and it is deemed appropriate that they really can not afford the care. That's just one example of a private organization helping. Keep government, and more importantly, my money, out of "your" medical bill.

I have a quote of my own too.
“I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” – Ben Franklin

There is an amazing homeless shelter on Skid Row called The Midnight Mission. They will provide night time security and food to the homeless women and children, and occassionally men. The reason they only occassionally give handouts to men is becuase during the day, they are a men's only homeless rebuilding center. The homeless come there, sign a contract to stay in a bunk bed so long as they work for the shelter (cleaning, cooking, etc). Within the center they can work up to higher and higher resbonsibility for earning their keep, all the while attending mandatory computer classes, GED classes, and in most cases drub rehad classes, all located in the Midnight Mission itself. After three months, they can move up to apartment style suites on the top floor that they must pay rent for (like $100/mo) and stay there as long as they are employed and saving money to get a place on their own. And it's all privetly funded and owned so there is no government bullshit causing redtape.

Tell me that's not the kind of fabulous you're talking about.

Unfortunately places like the Midnight Mission, The Venice Free Clinic, and your hospital are far too few, hence the need for government intervention. If the government does it RIGHT for once, it's a system that can work extremely well and since healthcare providers that aren't down with the UHC Reform will be competing with the more manageable government prices, the overall cash cow will be reduced to a cash squirrel and be accessible to everyone, like it should be.

well if its computer headphones then im assuming its because you can just turn the right one on or the left one on not to mention that if your sound card is good enough it can distinguish between the sounds on the screen being to the right of you or to the left of you much like you would have with surround sound speakers when a plane flies at you and then past you and you can hear it coming from different directions.  That would be my best guess anyway/

In music recording, the producer and the band get to select if they want a certain instrument in a certain ear. A good example of this is 'Song for the Dead' by Queens of the Stone Age where the drums are designed to be heard in the left ear while the resonance is to be heard from the right. I just think it's just something to make the song different.

Personally, I think that if you want to make something more noticable just crank up the volume or decrease the volume of other instruments.

Also the L and R can be valuable in surround sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=IUDTlvagjJA << watch it with headphones and close your eyes :)

Realizing the difference between the two will vastly improve your gaming. For instance, you hear someone reloading their gun. Your instinct is to look where you hear the reloading. If you have your headphones reversed, you're gonna be looking completely the wrong direction...lol.

"Destroyed" is an old-timey, but socially appropriate word for putting down animals. Sometime in the late 80's they stopped using it in the US and went to "putting down" because it sounded a little less like you were junking a car and a little more like you were killing a living thing. But it IS an actual term.


And clearly I have to play with my sound settings because I hear the same from both, no matter what direction it's "supposed" to be coming from! Thanks for the help.

When I was in high school I bought this little diddy (http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Graphire2-Graphics-Tablet-Ruby/dp/B000061KAT) for about $50 if I remember correctly.  These days it's probably worth $15 at most.  Apparently Wacom doesn't even make it anymore.

But it has been one the most reliable peripherals I've ever owned, and I'll admit I haven't treated it kindly.  The fancier tablets these days come with a lot of extra features, but as far as I'm concerned they all do essentially the same thing.  When I do whatever in Photoshop, I don't need a lot of bells and whistles.  I just need something more natural than a mouse.  This is probably what my grandpa felt like when he would talk about his beloved truck.

Pick up something cheap and play around with it.  If you've never used a tablet before, take the time to familiarize yourself with how it behaves.  It will feel very awkward at first, but as with anything else, practice makes perfect.

Before I saw Requiem, I just plain old didn't care enough to want to try drugs.  The curiosity just wasn't there.  But after this movie, I am 100% certain that I never want to do anything stronger than caffeine.  It's rare when I actually turn to face away from the screen, but some of those final scenes were rather hard to watch.

As Fuse said, check out Pi if you haven't already.  It's just as much a mindfuck as Requiem, but it's a mindfuck in a much more compelling kind of way.  

Another Aronofsky great is The Fountain.  This movie is visually beautiful and loaded with metaphor.  Many people didn't like it, and I can't see why.  I won't say anything at the risk of spoilers, but it's one of my favorite movies to discuss.  :)

Apple: iPhones cracked from outside pressure

Denying reports from Europe that faulty batteries caused "explosive" iPhones, Apple Friday said that cracked devices turned in by French customers had damage done from an outside force.

Bloomberg reports that an Apple spokesperson said that pressure was applied to the phones to make them crack in all cases investigated. Battery overheating reportedly did not cause any of the issues.

Earlier this month, Apple began an investigation into the allegations of explosive iPhones. That review began after the European Union's consumer safety division took notice of various complaints and media reports.

The incidents gained notoriety after a British family sought a refund for an iPod touch that they claimed exploded after it was dropped. Apple reportedly responded by asking the company to keep the terms of any agreement confidential.


What a relief! Instead of batteries that could overheat in a hot car or hot office--which is somewhat expect-able, no, it will blow up at random if you drop it or apply pressure!

Sweet it's like it's own self-destruct mode! Or rather yet a land mine for enemy tanks or unsuspecting enemies!

Nah, I would miss features like tethering via USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi. The copy paste feature, MMS messages, VoIP over 3G, video steaming over 3G. I don't have to worry about Apple approved apps, I can just browse the web and find just about any app I need. I wouldn't be able to use the powerful Visual Studio tool to make application design easy. And I'd be slave to the unreliable and patchy AT&T network.

I don't think I could trade that all away for a little bit faster graphics processor, a chick UI, to be part of the fad, and to have Steve Jobs telling me what I can and cannot do on my phone.

I'm hesitant to defend the iPhone because it's definitely not the super-dee-duperest bestest phone on the market.  But I still don't see why people are so quick to shoot it down.  It may not be the best phone, but it's not the worst either.

And I don't know what you're talking about Lith.  The iPhone has Bluetooth, WiFi, copy/paste, MMS (on seemingly every network except AT&T), and VoiP over 3G (via Skype).  I will agree with you on AT&T's shitty service, but that's not a fault of the iPhone.  

The only thing I don't like about the iPhone is that I pretty much need to void its warranty if I want it to function like 99% of the phones on the market.  Apple really does have a bug up their ass about how people use their products.  But what the iPhone does do right out of the box, it does well.  Any features it lacks, I've been perfectly able to live without.

I'm talking about tethering via Bluetooth and creating a WiFi access point via 3G. Copy/paste and MMS did not ship out of the box. They were upgrades.

And I'm pretty sure they denied the Skype app until it was redesign to only work over WiFi no 3G. This was casually blamed on AT&T of course. http://government.zdnet.com/?p=5279

Also there was a vulnerability where a single text character in an SMS would crash the phone. It was quietly patched. And security guru's say among smartphones, the iPhone does not run anywhere near the most secure. http://www.forbes.com/2007/06/19/iphone-security-risk-tech-security-cx_ag_0619iphonesecurity.html

If I remember reading correctly the phone has no task management system? Meaning program cannot run in the background. Or rather they won't let you run apps in the background! This is why the phone lacks many true google mobile apps. They become web apps or some shit. http://features.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/4024/why-wont-apple-let-new-iphone-apps-run-in-the-background/

The phone is a massive fad because of some innovative UI and touch features. Yippie Do Da.

To whomever purchased the Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition - did you enjoy your scratched up, plastic Batarang?  I thought it was a bit disappointing, to be honest...I guess you can't box a deadly weapon with a videogame!

Y'know, before I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, I used to think the iconography of the "big black monolith" was pretty cool.  I didn't know anything about it, so it had an air of mystery and intrigue.

And now that I've seen the movie... jesus christ what the fuck was that?  This is the sci-fi opera masterpiece that has survived so many decades?

Can somebody help me understand the pile of shit I just spent two and a half hours staring at?


That's what 2010 is for.


Basically the monolith is pure knowledge, without it, we would still be monkeys. It isn't a movie you watch to be entertained, lol. It's been a long time since I've watched it, but I'm pretty sure that was the jist of it.

(some would be lead to believe their iPhone is that big black monolith, ahaha)

I got that part, and that was all in the first 30 minutes of the movie.  I just didn't see the need for the remaining two hours, most of which is just watching space stations floating around in blackness.

If the film consisted of just the first half hour, and the last half hour, it would have been kickass.

The message I got from the film was that human's had progressed so far they imbued their own image/knowledge into another dumb "lifeform," HAL 9000 (artificial intelligence). And just as with the monkeys, it turned violent and killed as a step toward advancement/evolution.

From there you can take a cynical or idealistic attitude on the meaning, but my own interpretation is the goal of advancing forward is ultimately a return to the source of one's existence.

Not only does Apple have the right to block any app they deem 'inappropriate' they also can remove your app after it is already approved! Forcing small start up software companies to remove key features in their programs. Apple is about as oppressive as a communist nation.

And you wonder why I have no ambitions to program for an Apple device...

That's wonderful except it's likely only over WiFi.

his sounds more like Apple may not assist in VoIP over 3G, so will the soon-to-be-released Vonage app allow for VoIP over wi-fi instead?


And read the articles again, soon to be released, soon to be approved, while Apple works out the tweaks. It isn't Apple's job to tweak and modify features on anyone's software, what a joke.

And still no google voice, hmmm, wonder why. *cough*competition*cough*microsoft playbook*cough*

The only people who think Apple's crap music service that downloads shitty mp3 encodings and ties to your system like malware is good are those who are blinded by it. Try amazon folks. High bitrate mp3s with no encryption. SAME FUCKING PRICE and no malware software.

The same applies to their devices. Overpriced fanboy bait.

Lithium, you need to read it again.

Already approved. ;)

Where does it say Apple is doing tweaks and modifying software?  It says they are working WITH Vonage on some "technical issues with the software".

Apple is not allowed to make an app for the iPhone to do VoIP, because of their contract with AT&T.  Third parties are not bound by that contract.

Spotify streams over 3G.  Vonage should be streaming over 3G, as well.  Skype is able to stream over 3G.  Why they're not is on them, not Apple.

http://gizmodo.com/5342954/apple-and-att-answer-fcc-about-google-voice-rejection-its-all-apple

Quote
The most interesting in AT&T's statement is regarding VoIP. It seems like Apple could actually allow Skype over 3G, if it wanted to (though AT&T would really prefer all VoIP apps run over Wi-Fi), and they agreed when the iPhone contract was first forged that Apple wouldn't make its own VoIP app, meaning a video iChat probably ain't in the cards for a long time:

"AT&T and Apple agreed that Apple would not take affirmative steps to enable an iPhone to use AT&T's wireless service (including 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi) to make VoIP calls without first obtaining AT&T's consent. AT&T and Apple also agreed, however, that if a third party enables an iPhone to make VoIP calls using AT&T's wireless service, Apple would have no obligation to take action against that third party."

Teck:  Where is the Visitor's Center?

Ana:  Sorry to hear that!

Visitor Center is in Arkham West.  It's the door between the door to Arkham North and the Cell Block door.  It's right across from the ramp to the tower.  Part of the Penitentiary building.

Subb:
It's nothing special.  You know when you go to the "party", and Joker is sitting there with the TV on his head?  He is there for the whole game.  After every major event, you can go in there and see a different scene on the TV.  You don't know it's really him until the party.  It just looks like a statue with  a Joker statue with a TV for a head.  But when you turn your back, it'll change positions.  There is one point where you walk in and see 5 of them.  Then after you watch the video and start walking away, if you turn back, there is only 4.  Just a small thing that I thought was pretty cool.

I just got to Joker last night.  Stopped playing though.  It was 2:30 and I had to be at work by 8:00.

The entire game is full of amazing little details like that.  This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played.  I love it.  Challenge mode is amazing too, and being joker is fun as hell.

For Subb: I saw the titan floating, but no one grabbed it in mine I don't believe...

I want an immediate sequel where you're actually in Gotham.  That will be incredible.  Something like the spiderman games where u can do the story line or run around the city, exploring and stopping various crimes whenever you want.

So, I completed ALL of the Riddler's challenges, the final trophy I got was by the entrance to the batcave, so as Riddler's final message was playing to me, I got the cut scene of entering the batcave and it cut it off... Is there anyway to replay it?  what did he say?  I can't believe I went through all that and missed it.  He was yelling at Batman, pissed, the cops came to arrest him and then I got cut off.  Please let me know what he said and if I can hear it again somehow.

Let's be fair, though. To some small degree, the iPhone is worth something.  

...KIDDING! I was kidding! That right there was a joke.  

In all seriousness though, Lithium, it seems you take more issue with AT&T's business model in regards to the iPhone, rather than the iPhone itself as a device. I'm not defending AT&T at all. But if you're going to point fingers, I think it's important to point them in the right direction.

AT&T's refusal or incapability to support MMS on the iPhone is not a fault of the iPhone itself.  

The whole damn thing is a moot point anyway.  Whether you're knocking AT&T or knocking the iPhone or knocking Apple, you're just pissing into a sea of piss.

You pretty much nailed it on the head, Manic.

Everything that Lithium claims the iPhone can't do, it can.  It's AT&T who has the phone so limited.

He is also comparing a phone that is in it's infancy (3rd generation of the phone, third version of it's OS), with phones that have been around longer (Windows Mobile is on version 6.5, on the verge of releasing 7).

I think the best thing to do is to compare the profits from the Windows Mobile and the iPhone. I know that in the UK the iPhone is the best phone sales wise because A) everyone and their cat has one, B) it is featured in major films and programs & C) Windows isn't as popular as Apple over here.

I love the iPhone, it's amazing but expensive.

Your right the problem does begin with AT&T. And who choose AT&T, Apple, of course. In their arrogance they went for an exclusivity deal because AT&T was the only carrier to allow Apple to double dip.

Not only does Apple make almost all of the profit from the phone sale they also make part of the monthly contract fee. Where do they get off thinking they should make money off monthly contracts for phone service?! They help contribute to the ridiculous extra fees imposed upon these monthly contracts.

545 vs 300,000,000

EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE.  READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.
 
 
 
Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.

545  PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese
 
Politicians are the only people in the world  who create problems and then campaign against them.
 
Have you ever  wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
 
Have you ever wondered, if  all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have  inflation and high taxes?
 
You and I don't propose a federal budget.  The president does.
 
You and I don't have the  Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of  Representatives does.
 
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress  does.
 
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
 
You  and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve  Bank does.
 
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one  president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human  beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally,  and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague  this country.
 
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve  Board because that problem was created by the  Congress.   In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty  to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central  bank.
 
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a  sound reason. They have no legal authority.  They have no  ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one  cotton-picking thing.   I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.  The  politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what  the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility  to determine  how he votes.
 
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy  convincing you that what they did is not their fault.    They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What  separates a politician from a normal human being is an  excessive amount of gall.   No normal  human being would have the gall of a  Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating  deficits..   The president can only propose a budget.    He cannot force the Congress to accept  it.
 
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the  land, gives sole responsibility to the House of  Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.   Who is the speaker of the House?    Nancy Pelosi.  She is  the leader of the majority party.  She and  fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want.  If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if  they agree  to.
 
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can  not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of  incompetence and irresponsibility.   I can't think of a  single domestic problem  that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.  When you fully  grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal  government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to  exist.
 
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it  unfair.
 
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in  the red ..
 
If the Army & Marines are in  IRAQ ,  it's because they want them in IRAQ
 
If they do not  receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available  to the people, it's because they want it that way.
 
There are no  insoluble government problems.
 
Do not let these 545 people shift  the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can  abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to  regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can  take this power.   Above all, do not let them con you into  the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the  economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing  what they take an oath to do.
 
Those 545 people, and they  alone, are responsible.
 
They, and they alone, have the  power.
 
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the  people who are their bosses.
 
 Provided the voters have the  gumption to manage their own employees.
 
 We should vote all of  them out of office and clean up their mess!
 
 Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel  Newspaper.
 
What you do with this article now that you have  read it........... Is up to you.
 
 
This might be funny if it weren't so darned true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:
   
             Tax his land,
             Tax his bed,
             Tax the table
             At which he's fed.
   
             Tax his tractor,
             Tax his mule,
             Teach him taxes
             Are the rule.
   
             Tax his work,
             Tax his pay,
             He works for peanuts
             Anyway!
             Tax his cow,
             Tax his goat,
             Tax his pants,
             Tax his coat.
             Tax his ties,
             Tax his shirt,
             Tax his work,
             Tax his dirt.
   
             Tax his tobacco,
             Tax his drink,
             Tax him if he
             Tries to think.
   
             Tax his cigars,
             Tax his beers,
             If he cries
             Tax his tears.
   
             Tax his car,
             Tax his gas,
             Find other ways
             To tax his ass.
   
             Tax all he has
             Then let him know
             That you won't be done
             Till he has no dough.
   
             When he screams and hollers;
             Then tax him some more,
             Tax him till
             He's good and sore.
             Then tax his coffin,
             Tax his grave,
             Tax the sod in
             Which he's laid.
   
             Put these words

I hope he's being sarcastic. The article calls for the dissolution of the government and to let people make their own rules. Either that or it is saying to vote all 545 people out of office in order to replace them with another 545 people, which seems to be contradictory to the entire article in the first place.

The second part of it implies there should be absolutely no taxes, we should get rid of every politician while reverting to 100 years ago, and that people who don't speak "goddamn English" can go fuck themselves.

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the Pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some Cyanide."
The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed,
"Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband.. That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied,

"Well now, that's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

First off, I am glad to be a Libertarian. Secondly, you can't solely blame our politicians for botching things up. After all, we elected them; so what does that say about what we the people want?

California is the ultimate example of what happens when you trust the public to decide what programs to fund. They had referendums left and right for decades and now they have it much worse than the rest of the country as far as state deficit goes (even worse than Michigan) because the majority choose everything on the menu and expect someone else at the table to pick up the tab, only nobody else can afford it.

I believe there is a simple explanation for this result. Budgeting actually requires an above average intelligence not only to contemplate, but to overcome baser impulses for successful follow through. Thus for every one person that can follow a budget (smart person), there are two who cannot (the average person and dumb ass person).

Taxes feel shitty, entitlements feel good. You can sacrifice your own entitlements, but you can't make another person sacrifice theirs.

Though I would love it if we paid taxes a la carte rather than prix fixe menu.

Imagine buying a pack of cigarettes and having to select an option at the register that asks whether you would like to put the tax money toward health care programs, cancer research, or enforcing illegal immigration :-)

Taxes aren't the problem. The problem is them trying to fund everything. If people were more responsible for themselves and didn't need the gov to front the bill for so much there wouldn't be as much of an issue. Their job should be to simply say "NO!" to most bills - this will cut spending, and cut the need for higher taxes.
There are soooo many other issues involved though. Simply put, I don't feel any of my elected officials have any clue how the general public feels.

Cynical comment:
We can't ever expect people as a whole to become less groveling, more responsible, and actually contribute to society. Expecting as much is just as naive as liberals expecting everyone to participate in a mass orgy.

Optimistic historical observation:
The wisest leaders in history, were the ones who ceded power.

I finally got my voting card for VA, thank you, but the point is I respect the process and the leaders chosen. Even though I didn't agree with much of what Bush did, that didn't make me feel like the whole government was corrupt and needed to be done away with just because I didn't agree with them.

I agree with Dag's cynical comment that you can't expect people to not be poor and not be irresponsible. And in that group of people there will always be those who deserve a break and have had rough times and those who have only themselves to blame and should deal with their own consequences. The difference is whether you believe it is better to help those in need or abandon all who have fallen under hard circumstances. The systems in place try to filter it out, but there's only so much you can do.

I just don't like the noise...the gimmicks that people use to try to prove a point that has nothing to do with their argument. Let's call the president a "socialist", health care reform "death panels", and chant over and over again that America is dying and end times are near. Also, let's not forget that there's a "real" America, consisting of people who agree with your point of view, and then the "liberal agenda" America consisting of, based on the last election, a majority of American voters by a landslide.

I'm from Mississippi. Last time I went home, I observed. My family only watches Fox News. My grandparents take everything that's said on that channel as the truth, even if it's from an opinion-based show projecting worst-case scenarios. After numerous debates with my friends and some family, it just seems like they don't acknowledge the rest of the country. The east coast is tainted...the west coast is tainted...it's evil heathen territory. Gays are evil...the media is evil...the government is evil...non-Americans are evil...your pastor is God. I don't mind people having different opinions...even extreme ones...but having such a polarizing attitude scares me a bit.

So instead of people spreading around some old, 80-yr old man's rant (I'm assuming he's around that age with 50 years of journalism behind him) about how the government is bad because it represents the majority while protecting the minority instead of it being a screaming match between 300 million people, maybe they should use that energy to really discuss and debate the real issues...although those "Obama is the Anti-Christ" emails are pretty amusing!

Note: I wanted to clarify that I don't think every conservative/republican is ignorant and thinks everyone and everything is evil. My concern is that there is a lot of them, though, and the conservative movement as a whole seems to support that view and encourages the extremist attitude (a la showing up at the town hall with a loaded gun and disrupt things by yelling that nobody trusts Obama..."real" Americans finally being heard...)

I think most people who voted for Obama didn't realize what they were voting for, or at least what they were going to get. People call his policies Socialistic because according to the definition of Socialism, they are.

"The difference is whether you believe it is better to help those in need or abandon all who have fallen under hard circumstances."
The more important factor - which will be the difference between capitalism and socialism - is do you believe people should be forced into helping?

And yes I know RCP is conservative leaning (to say the least), but I still agree to an extent with that article's conclusions based on my own experiences and especially after reading some of the autobiographical thoughts of Ted Kennedy (think guilty conscience).

"Forced into helping" as in paying taxes? Once again, there's no way you are going to argue that there should be no taxes...there will always be death and taxes, unless you live on your own island...and then there's still death. The question is where should that tax money go? You're going to be paying it regardless, even in a capitalist society.

And as for Republicans giving more to charity, of course they do. It's called tax breaks! http://www.ehow.com/how_4495728_get-tax-breaks-charity-giving.html

You still haven't answered the question. Do you believe people should be paying for other peoples health (or other assistance), or should the primary responsibilty be on that person, and use charity (medicaid/idpa as examples for healthcare) as a secondary source of help?

I do think that government (rep and dem) take too much money from ALL working Americans, and give it to useless, or inappropriate programs. Plus it is grossly mismanaged to many of the public service items it does go to. As an American in a republic, it is indeed our job to argue how that money is collected, managed, and spent.

You talk as though we should not have any say in where our tax dollars go - if we have no say, how can you claim that the hints of socialism are 'gimmicks'? You can't just say 'eh, taxes are a way of life, they can take all they want and spend it on whatever' and smile.

There's nothing wrong with asking "Why do I have to pay for this?" or "Why can't I keep the money I earn and spend/donate it the way I see as best for my family and peers?" My answer to what I, personally, see as best for my family and peers (peers being the general population) is infrustructure. Highways/roads, electricity, water pipes/treatment etc...  Health insurance I look at in the same way I look at car insurance - you can't afford a great plan, you buy a lower quality plan you can afford and get less service. Once you complete your college degree, or finally decide you are uncomfortable in your current economic state and get a better job you buy a better policy and get better coverage. Yes, sometimes it is difficult to do, but if you want nice things, you have to bust ass sometimes.
And to reply to your "Life, Liberty, and pursuit of happiness" comment from the other thread, the quote is "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." yet the original draft was "That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, ...." which gives a better context that the meaning is no one shall take a life, or cause a hindrance to it. It does not in any way state that providing life, or assisting in another's health is a right, or a role given to government.

Just thought i would point that out.


Personally, the government and basis of it was made in SUCH a long time ago and the fact that all that was said ("Life, Liberty, Pursuit of happiness and such") Was during a time where things were much simpler and thus the context of it is stretched for our time now where things are much, much harder and more complex. I'm with Tbone, in the sense that there will be taxes... The government can't be sustained without it. However there's TONS of stuff that is government funded that most people don't even know about....

Personally, I feel that, left to their own devices, mankind will choose that which benefits himself the most, forsaking the rest. It's basic survival technique. Selfishness is, to an extent, coded within us, and we have to fight against that to make sacrifices for those that don't impact us.

Not to get too far off subject, but take gay rights, for instance. Gays are a minority. If you leave something like that up to the majority, the majority's natural instinct is to protect themselves first, no matter how twisted that "defense mechanism" is. So in California, for instance, a majority voted against gay marriage (technically a reversal of prop 8). Were they thinking about the well-being of others? No. They were primarily concerned with their own agenda and defending their own marriage or religion or what have you. I believe the minority deserves the same rights and equality. I'm very sensitive to the "mob mentality". I've seen it many times...up close and in the news. That may be cynical, but there's truth to it.

In terms of "deciding where your money goes". I think there should be some flexibility with that, though it's arrogant to think that you really know what needs the money and what doesn't. You may want the road on your block fixed, but putting all your tax money into roads could just be used to build a "bridge to nowhere". I believe we should put the well-being of our fellow humans first, so things like proper health care for everyone should be a must. For God's sake, people...half of us are running around with iPhones. Our society has portable micro-computers but we don't have the resources to keep the less fortunate healthy? So I guess my answer is that regulated flexibility might work, but ultimately I think that would cause a huge deficit in really important programs while less-needed projects like filling that pothole that makes you slow down a little on your way to work will have waaay too much money behind it.

Eh...I work with mass amounts of people as a living...people are greedy, impatient, arrogant sons of bitches by default...at least on the east coast! Haha!

*ding ding ding ding ding ding!* Round deux!

I've never seen the attraction of being a conservative voter (although in this country, they're definately going to be the next in power - but I'm still not going to vote for them) since the meaning of their movement (here, anyways) is to look back to the past and seperate all the social classes and give all the power to the upper and middle class.

Ever heard of the historic saying "Those who repeat history are doomed to failure"? In the long run, the conservative parties always lose their power then pop their heads back into the power struggle a decade or so after in order to get a slice of the power-hungry-pie. No one likes a government who doesn't change with the times - this is why most are ousted from power after a while or if the current party does a major fuck-up ala Thatcher (conservative) and Tony Blair/Gordon Brown (labour)over here.

I quite like Obama, he's a breath of fresh air after George-shoot-anything-wearing-a-turban-Bush. From what I read, didn't he do more in his first week than Bush did in two terms in office? *Shrug* Could be wrong.

I think in America, you're doomed if you do and doomed if you do. Hell, anywhere in the world with a democratic system is like that. It's the same with Obama's health reform with all the lies being flung around by the Republicans and Tv shows etc. which Obama later poo-pooed in congress before getting dubbed a 'liar' by a Republican, despite it being written clearly in the Reform papers. I'm talking about the 'Death Boards' to decide whether or not someone dies and if the new Medical system will help illegal immigrants.

I'm not saying that I understand your system at all (I don't) but I just don't get why everyone and their aunts now hate Obama...

Extremists on both end of the party lines are harmful - and only truth should exist, but we're talking politicians in America. Each party is for things that they were against when the other side was suggesting them in the past - it's bullshit. Both parties need a complete overhaul.

As far as I know (not like I've read all the proposed bills) there is only one small mention of illegals in just one of the bills that does indeed say it will not cover illegals. Joe Wilson later explain that there is no mention of ways to confirm citizenship, therefore illegals will indeed be able to partake in a public option.

Considering the rampant fraud currently in the medical business, especially Medicaid, I will not be surprised if illegals get just as good of care as you or I.

I agree that gays should have every right that everyone else does - I don't care what you do with your junk or who you do it to - it simply doesn't affect me. I don't get that vote either. When you say mob mentality, it makes me think this healthcare deal is mob mentality. I suppose it just depends on which side of the line you sit. Now the mob are those who drop out of college, those who can't offer enough to society to earn enough to 'make them happy', or those who choose a lifestyle which may not include hard work, and those who would rather ask for something free. Even if I was broke (which considering I'm living paycheck to paycheck now, I'd say I'm pretty close) I still wouldn't expect free handouts from others - which is what I just don't understand. All people are not equal, do not contribute to society equally, everyone deserves to fail, and everyone should get what they work for. It may sound mean, but priority in life should be to secure the well being of family, then those around you. personally, I'd leave out the slackers who offer nothing. Criminals getting my donations? I don't think so. Illegal alliens getting my help? Nope. Drug users getting healthcare? Are you crazy?!

But of course, I'm not in politics (http://www.lostlocalhost.com/?view=plink&id=239) (yet), so I guess you're all safe. =)

Who thinks that? If I HAD to declare a party I suppose I'd be closest to a Libertarian, but I obviously have ties to conservative beleifs. I'm not sure who you're talking about but I rarely see a strive to separate social classes specifically. If anything, it's a strive to keep what you earn. Even the guy flipping burgers at Burger King should keep more of his dollar too. Lower classes are included in everything I speak about. Personally I would never try to separate people into classes, but I also will not mandate or support any law that punishes middle and high classes to support lower classes. Obama gave a speech to students last week saying it doesn't matter what your situation at home is, or where you come from - you can still suceed. It was his best speech yet, because he was right about everything. Purposly stopping the ability to change classes is wrong, but forcing someone to assist in a class change is also wrong. Those who are smart enough and willing enough make businesses, those who aren't (me) work for them. So what's wrong with the person who makes a shit-ton of money for delivering a good or service to people willing to pay money for it?

Also, a sidenote to try and get this OFF healthcare alone: Technically, we don't live in a democracy. Never have. This is why the group-think majorady rule mentality has taken over - because we're not taught the difference between a democracy and republic.

In short, there are going to be winners and losers in life. If we're destined to become a nation of destitute, sickly and uneducated simpletons, it's because the rich, healthy, smart people were losers.

Dammit Tbone I love you. I'm seriously considering writing your name in for the next presidential election.
----------------------------------------------
And to answer Fuse's question I'm going to use an analogy:
Let's say you have two homeless men on a street corner. They are both dirty, smelly, missing teeth, possibly drug/alcohol addicted, and both obvious falling on really really hard times with no one to give them a hand up. Bum #1 is asking passers-by for change, and says that any little bit will help. Bum #2 is offering to wash your car windows for a donation of any amount.

Now obviously, we would feel more inclined to get our windows cleaned (even if they don't really need it) because we feel that here is a man who is doing the best he can with what he has, correct? And we'd like to support someone who is taking baby steps to help themselves.

But consider this: How much does that windex Bum #2 is holding cost? Where did he get the $3.40 to buy it? How much of a donation does he usually recieve? What if Bum #1 is asking for handouts so he can buy his own windex and then perform the same task?

The point is everyone is always doing the best they can at any given time. So how can we judge each other?

I give when I can, and when I need help, I'd like the same curtesy. If I'm sick and can't work how can I pay for the medicine to get better? I cant be a contributing member of society without my health. If you label that socialism, then what the hell ever. Call me a socialist. I feel it is the right course of action to provide Universal Health Care, as a basic human necessity. We provide free education, and as a result, our country is (mostly) no longer an illiterate mess run by a few elite. Countries that have neither free healthcare nor education are guess what? THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
--------------------------------------------
We must become better people to inspire others. We must stop thinking about only ourselves, our wants, our petty differences, and our mindset of "this is what my parents believed, so this is what I believe."

If we want to change the world, we have to start with ourselves.

People do not do the best they can, that's been my point. You really think everyone is working at their highest potential? And I would never use our education system and a positive example of a government run system.

Again, we agree that those bums may need help, but ill be damned if uncle sam is going to run in front of my car and threaten me until I give them something.

People do need to start with themselves-also something I've been trying to say. :)

A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well.

Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, 'You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great You should go into town and kick up your heels.' The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.
One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired hand. Finally he returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.

She quietly called him over to her. 'Unbutton my blouse and take it off,' she said.

Trembling, he did as she directed.

'Now take off my boots.' He did as she asked, ever so slowly.

'Now take off my stockings.'

He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.

'Now take off my skirt.'

He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light.

'Now take off my bra.'

Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.

Then she looked at him and said, 'If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired.'

I'm pretty sure neither Obama nor any part of the government was behind these kids learning a "hooray Obama" song. If this was a government mandate, then you'd have reason to worry, but teachers injecting their own political agenda into their teaching has been a common problem long before Obama became president.

Ironically, many of the same people who are repulsed by the video of the kids are the same ones who fought to keep prayer in school, etc. It's the same principle - teaching beliefs that not everyone shares as facts that everyone should know.
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on September 24, 2009, 12:01:08 pm
Two completely different things, Cory. No one should be forced to pray in school - but there should be no law to keep someone from praying in school either. No teacher ever forced a class to pray out loud to God - if they did it would be just as wrong. If a kid decides on thier own to sing a song about Obama, so be it - but to have it taught by the teacher is wrong. I agree it probably isn't anyone directly in the gov doing this - actually the teacher went to school with the big O. It is innappropriate no matter who decided to do it. And this is for any president, not just our current one.
Title: randomness
Post by: Tbone on September 24, 2009, 12:29:12 pm
Right, but you can't use this as evidence that Obama is trying to be just like Hitler and is using child-like songs to put the idea into people's minds that he is God. People seem to be using this as a springboard to say "Oh no...the Obama administration is one step closer to making us Nazi Germany".

Some schools in Texas refused to show Obama's speech in school and instead bussed all the kids to go hear W speak. That isn't right, but I wouldn't blame that on Bush.

We're in agreement that it is inappropriate (the song eerily uses a line from a song about Jesus). My point is that it is the teachers/school's fault and that this sort of stuff happens frequently on both sides of the fence. I just don't like it when people take stuff out of context to try to prove a different point that has nothing to do with the original context of the material.
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on September 24, 2009, 12:50:43 pm
...and I don't like it when people read things and then assume the writer meant something else. I never said Obama is like Hitler or lil'Kim - except mockingly to whoever wrote the lyrics. I alluded to the fact that this shit happened in Germany and is happening in North Korea now to back up my point that controlling the perception of children is an amazing tool used by corrupt governments in the world; but put no blame on him/his administration unless proof comes out there is a connection. In fact I specifically said the school should be ashamed of themselves.

I think the pledge of allegiance should be mandatory in all schools.  It's important for kids to understand the significance of what our flag represents, and we should teach them to pledge their total allegiance to it.  Hopefully if we get them while they're young, in a few years we'll have a country of people who are united by their allegiance, and who aren't constantly bickering with eachother.  And if a child doesn't want to recite the pledge while gesturing with their right hand, they can sit in a corner of the room and place their hands over their ears.

The point I was trying to make was that, while I do think every American citizen should be taught the pledge and should know it by heart, I think making the pledge mandatory in any situation (I only used schools as an example) goes against what the pledge and our flag symbolize.  As an American citizen, I have the right to not recite the pledge.

What's wrong with a bunch of kids singing about their president?  Nothing, as long as it is made clear beforehand that it wasn't mandatory.

The problem with the pledge is that when I was a kid, and was made to recite it, I had no idea what it was. I was just saying something. I had no idea that I was literally "pledging my allegiance" or the significance of that. It was just something the teacher made us do. I didn't know that I had an option to ally myself with something. It was meaningless in the mind of a child. Although I'm not sure what the option would be otherwise as far as indoctrinating children to  a way of being (and I hate "training" children to choose the same choices we chose, by the way).

I haven't said the pledge of allegiance in years, but I should next time I get a chance, and actually take stock of what I'm saying, and actually mean it for the first time in my life.

I too just recited without understanding. The worst part is that all parties of government haven't respected that pledge in many many years. Examples...
-We pledge allegiance to the country, not a person or group of people. We rely too heavily on a party system and it has divided the country far too much IMO.
-We live in a republic, not a democracy. Power lies with individuals, not the majority. Basically this means we make decisions based on documented founding principals (The Constitution) instead of majority rule. I'll be making an update to my post here about that (http://www.lostlocalhost.com/?view=plink&id=249) soon.
-We are a country created with God in mind. Believe what you want about religion, but at least understand that our country was created with the belief that there is a God, he is good, and the country was build with this in mind.

The country was also in agreement about slavery. A slave is 3/5s of a person, right? Also, women were inferior and couldn't vote. This was all built into the language of our government. That doesn't mean, as we progress as a nation, we shouldn't progress that language to reflect a more modern, open, and understanding society that is made up of people of different sexes, races, and religions.

Teach it as history or heritage, but I don't think you can use it as a springboard to say Christianity should stay infused in our politics. I still think we're a long long way away from the "Christian nation" loosening its grip on politics, though.

I try to watch it at least once a day.  Every now and then I'll pick up something subtle that I didn't notice before.

The scene where Agent Gray is talking about Zion exploiting the code to awaken the remaining humans is my new favorite.  Starting at 3:53, the timing of the music is absolutely exquisite.  It reminds me of so many scenes from The Dark Knight whenever the Joker was on the screen.  The music is just a continuous play of two or three notes that very slowly rise in pitch.  It almost sounds like stretchin violin strings to the point of snapping, except they never snap.

The tension that noise creates is almost torturous if you pay enough attention to it.  The notes just keep rising, and rising, and rising, and rising.

Then Agent Gray says "The complete irradication of the human race", and the strings finally release.  That kind of "punch" can really make an impact on an audience, even if they don't consciously realize it, and Adad pulled it off to perfection.

So I found this story about the Large Hadron Collider and the theory that we will never find the Higgs Boson because "Nature will 'ripple backward through time' to stop the LHC ... like a time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather" huh? Nature itself time travels? We live in a universe that has solid properties and laws, so isn's it better say time travel is not possible in the dementional space we reside in, instead of attaching this matter-based concept to "nature"?

Best part of the story is Professor Brian Cox, who kind of reminds me of my father-in-law, who says "Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twit" He's from England, so I think calling them twits is the equivallant to giving the finger, right?

Damn it's easy to be a theorist.

Well time travel IS possible, but we don't have the means to do it according to most physicists that is.

Speaking in terms of traveling from present day to the past, I beleive there may be some form of limited particle time travel to be applicible for data transmission perhaps, but I'm pretty doubtful about solid matter. I'm also having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of mother nature "time traveling" back to stop the discovery of something. The first word that came to my mind when I read that was fate - and I don't like the idea of predetermination.

How's that for a random post? =)

bud-dum chish!

I consider DejaVu to be strictly a biological response in our brain associating current perceptions to recorded memory ones and perhaps some rare connection in the brain - I would fail to see how particles could have the properties to travel back in time and also be able to affect biological events - but I admit that is an interesting concept and in the future who knows what may be possible.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of being able to control the speed and/or production of a Tachyon-like particle at one time, and a detector sometime in the past. This would allow data transmission in a simple form (think morse-code). If Tachyons truely exist there would be challenges. First you would need to be able to detect them. Second, you would need to know exactly where to look. Third, a method to alter them would be needed. Four, once altered you would need to return them back to their old state (speed) and direct them to the correct spot. I'm sure there's a million other issues too, btu that's just what came off the top of my head in the last three minutes. This would explain why we have had no apparent visits or messages from the future - if we can't even detect the paper, how can we see what's written on it?

Side note: I say Tachyon-LIKE particles, because most of the theory of tachyons states the ability to do the things I mentioned (alteration, isolation, encoding) aren't even "not possible", they're "not imaginable". (Dumb wording. Their existance is only theory anyways. Which if they do exist, they will still be classed as "non-existant" particles)

See? It is easy to be a theorist

Oh.

Well I suppose they did a good job explaining that they don't have the power to send large things back. If you can send any particle with mass back in time, I supposed you can send massive amounts of mass back as long as you have enough energy. I'm pretty sure the only time travel involving mass I've seen involves using an anti-matter-like bubble through spacetime. But I'm no physicist. I can barely spell it.

Wow, I'm a nerd.

lol.. I was trying to make a simple comparison of what we were discussing for the readers having a hard time keeping up..
As for time travel I prefer talking about what would happen if instead of how to. I dont have the technical skills to theorize about how to but I can use logic and theoretical thinking to come up with a "what if we did".
Like if we went back and changed the past would it splinter it and create an alternate universe (simple explanation newest Star Trek movie)
or would time fix itself so that it was always meant to be that way..
or would time unravel due to us tampering with it
I can go on and on about this topic though if it concentrates in that field of discussion..

As cool as it would be, I still don't think time is a tangible variant like space. We can change the effect of time, but we can't change time itself. Time is simply a unit of measurement created by man.

In other words, we could change perception of time. That's about it (make time appear to slow down or speed up to individuals). I know a lot of smart people say otherwise, but it's all theoretical and probably based on a wrong assumption somewhere down the line.

You're right that "time" in a very general sense has been invented by man.  A "minute" is just a name we give for a determined length of time, just as "three" is just a name we give for the number of apples we might buy at the store.  But just because we invented a word for this amount of apples, doesn't mean that the apples don't exist.  And just because we invented a word to track this amount of time, doesn't mean that time doesn't exist.

To say that it's "probably based on a wrong assumption somewhere down the line", is to discredit the most profound and forward-thinking ideas in the history of our species.  I would love to know what circumstances brought you to hold this opinion.

Aspects of relativity have actually been measured, albeit on extremely small scales.  Atomic clocks placed at higher altitudes run faster than atomic clocks placed at sea level, due to a lower gravitational field.  This is known as "relativistic time dilation".  When the GPS unit in your car tells you to "turn left", it's actually accounting for the affects of RTD.  This is due to the fact that not only is the GPS satellite experiencing a much lower gravitational field than the car unit, but it's also moving much faster.  It's even been calculated that astronauts who spend months in space have aged slightly slower than their family members who remained on Earth.

Time is affected by gravity and velocity.  Walk from one corner of a room to another, and you effectively alter your experience of space-time.  If we could generate enough energy to move beyond the speed of light, and manage to control it, it's very probable that we could witness the effects of the bending of space-time on a large scale.  And keep in mind that by "large", I mean a few seconds, as opposed to the nanoseconds that RTD is measured in.  To witness RTD in terms of minutes or even hours, we would need to be moving at such a speed that would make the speed of light look quaint.  It would effectively be time-travel, but not in the manner in which Hollywood has depicted to us.

What's really gonna freak your mind out is the fact that since time is effected by gravity and the gravity particle is something that exists as a force within nature then it therefore means that there must be a time particle which regulates the constant flow of general relative time.  Hence with the cause and effect of one particle upon the other it should become possible to regulate the transient flow of the particles in concurence with their natural state.  Of course the intense amounts of matter and energy needed to cause such a reaction upon the particles is something which has not yet been achieved and we'll most lilkley never see within our lifetimes.

Well I don’t normally talk about such things but I just thought I would let you guys know kind of what’s going on.  My mom got diagnosed with Brain cancer and Lung cancer a little over a month and a half ago.  It was a big shock to us all.  She had to have brain surgery to remove one of the masses because of the pressure it was putting on the brain.  She was doing much better but then suddenly Thursday of last week she went downhill fast.  She isn't eating much, she can’t talk all that well, and she is peeing blood.  She is being moved as I speak to a hospice house.  I am supposed to be getting married in March but it doesn't look like my mother will make it to my wedding.  It is a really rough time for me.  I may or may not be around and if I’m not you all know the reason.  There is a lot more details to all of this but that’s a quick synopsis.

Well i spent all night playing with Setun and two other real life friends.

It is now 7:40 as i type this.

Singleplayer is about... i guess a 6-8. The story is a bit odd since it feeds you very little throughout your missions. I won't say more than that though.

This game, however, SHINES in multiplayer and is an absolute blast. I give it a 8-9.

I think i would have given it a 10 but there are some little quirks that make it feel as though they didn't really plan things through when making the PC port / version.

Main thing is that there are no dedicated servers. Games are hosted on players pc's so that player will have to forward ports otherwise no one can join their game. Also, if the host freezes or crashes everyone is sent back to the main screen.

There is no options for customizing your mic. Your mic is Voice activated only and there are no options for sensitivty or even turning it off.

Also certain options like skipping the beginning cutscenes and other various settings were, for some reason or another, not implemented directly into the game and has to be tweaked through .ini settings.

Those are, in my eyes, the only negatives about the game. The game is a damn blast and quite challenging at times.

To put it best, it brings the fun and teamwork of Left 4 Dead but feels like it has more depth to it to keep it from getting boring like L4D eventually did.

I think the game has a bit of a slow start also but i really can't stop playing the damn thing after the ball gets rolling. I highly recommend it.


And of course, if you get it on PC, add me.

I guess they're thinking "I'm married, so it's okay if wear next to nothing, ask a couple guys to rate how my bare butt looks (with and without heels on of course) or have another guy do jello shots off my boobs and then tell him to go back down and make sure he got it all.

I didn't think it would be one you'd be interested in. I was originally told it was a family friendly affair (ie little kids and whatnot) and therefore kind of slow and boring, and the first half of the evening was. Once the little ones were off to bed/some families went home I guess the alcohol had saturated in.

Not surprised at this... It's been expected to come for a while from this administration.

From: http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/03/secret-copyright-tre.html

Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad. (http://www.lostlocalhost.com/?view=plink&id=264)

The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama's administration refused to disclose due to "national security" concerns, has leaked. It's bad. It says:

* That ISPs have to proactively police copyright on user-contributed material. This means that it will be impossible to run a service like Flickr or YouTube or Blogger, since hiring enough lawyers to ensure that the mountain of material uploaded every second isn't infringing will exceed any hope of profitability.

* That ISPs have to cut off the Internet access of accused copyright infringers or face liability. This means that your entire family could be denied to the internet -- and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living -- if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel.

* That the whole world must adopt US-style "notice-and-takedown" rules that require ISPs to remove any material that is accused -- again, without evidence or trial -- of infringing copyright. This has proved a disaster in the US and other countries, where it provides an easy means of censoring material, just by accusing it of infringing copyright.

* Mandatory prohibitions on breaking DRM, even if doing so for a lawful purpose (e.g., to make a work available to disabled people; for archival preservation; because you own the copyrighted work that is locked up with DRM)

For more on this goto: The ACTA Internet Chapter: Putting the Pieces Together (http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/4510/125/)

"In October 2007 the United States, the European Community, Switzerland and Japan simultaneously announced that they would negotiate a new intellectual property enforcement treaty, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA."

OMG! Obama has been trying to eat our intranets since before he was prez! Conspiracy!!! I totally saw it coming from this administration back in October 2007...socialism at its worse! Impeach impeach!

I agree that a secret internet police = bad. However I disagree that Obama's administration put this together. Sounds like it has been on the agenda since 2007 and Obama was probably like "oh crap...what did Bush leave me with now?! let's figure this out before people start freaking out."

Or perhaps he is truly angry that his personal blackberry was taken away and is seeking revenge on us all from a plan he secretly set into motion in Oct 2007!

At its worse, it'll be the Napster Effect. They shut something down and 5 similar things pop up. You start policing the internet and people will create their own internet. Sounds like there's going to be way too much opposition for it to go into effect. Luckily we have an administration who cares about the people and not greedy corporations! Huzzah!

I think you may have missed the point.  This treaty is bad news because of its broad brush interpretation of what constitutes "copyright infringement".  According to the treaty, corporations like the RIAA and the MPAA only have to accuse you of copyright infringement, and your ISP would be required by law to disconnect your service.  All without obtaining a warrant to back the claim.

Hell, all of FA could essentially be charged simply by our faction music videos.  Again, all they would have to do is make the accusation, and every one of us could potentially have to pay a hefty fine, and we wouldn't be granted the right to defend our case.  We would be guilty, without the opportunity to prove our innocence.

I don't want to claim that the proverbial sky of the interweb is falling, but in this day and age, the vast majority of people don't understand the implications of this.  It's the whole mindset of "Hey, I haven't broken the law, so I have nothing to worry about."  In the context of this treaty, it doesn't matter if you've broken the law or not.

Regardless of who is sitting in the oval office, discussion of any and all laws should be made public so that the public can have their say.  The majority of what is in this treaty has been kept behind closed doors until very recently.

Very true. The government is taking over (and now owns) major corporations in this country and justifying it as, "too big to fail."

But, similar to your theory if we just let them fail in the first place, "5 similar things pop up." It is anti-capitalistic methods that contributed to the whole mess in the first place.

I download very very few things illegally and intentionally. I'm not naive to the fact that someday it is bound to catch up to people.

T, who said Obamas admin put this together and there is a call for impeachment? I seem to have missed that in the articles - at least the ones I've seen. The administration is insistant that government can do things better than companies made by the people of America so they will never shoot down the chance to regluate.

My comment wasn't based on the ACTA - it had more to do with his comments in the past when he was a senator of my state. Mainly in 2007 about regulation of service providers. The main concept is the fear ISPs can limit access for thier users. While I think that's bullshit for an ISP to do, it sure as hell isn't the governments place to tell someone what to do with their own company. I agree with the reasons net nutrality is wanted, but think it should be the consumer and market to regulate ISPs who may do this simply by not supporting their service. I say his administration because some of his friends in the house (many of which have also come from my state of IL) have even more restrictive views of what the internet should look like.

Bottom line - if you're against the ACTA forcing ISPs to be regulated, then I think you should also be against government forcing them to be regulated. IMO

I agree with you. They should have let the companies fall and let companies with more responsibility take their place. Apparently that would have thrown the entire world economy into devastation, but that's a little strange that a couple of companies have that kind of power.

Fuse, you seemed to be implying that the Obama administration was the one pulling all the strings behind this. I was just pointing out that wasn't the case.

If you have to hide something from this many people that affects this many people, it is bound to fail. I don't see anyone having the resources to enforce it either. It'll be interesting to see what comes of the talks.

In my last post about the LHC (http://www.lostlocalhost.com/?view=plink&id=259) I questioned the theory that the Higgs Boson (which I affectionatly call 'Higgy-B') will cause nature to "'ripple backward through time' to stop the LHC ... like a time traveller who goes back in time to kill his grandfather".

Well Higgy's back at it again, this time not using electromagnatism and thermodynamics to screw up it's own birth. Oh no, this time it brought out the big guns...Higgy's weapon of choice now is the evil (those with wheat allergies hide your eyes) BAGUETTE!

This weapons of mass destruction was beleived to have been deployed by an indiginous bird after a hearty meal of the gluten filled product. Luckily civillians monitoring the LHCs stats noticed irregularities before catostrophic damage could be done by the winged terrorist.

Several French Iphone users have claimed in recent months that touchscreens have exploded, including one who claimed to have been hurt by flying glass.

Apple said that there is no evidence of a design flaw because Steve Jobs said the gear was perfect in his sight. Besides there have been too few explosions for anyone to get upset about.

French authorities have not found any evidence that the phones are liable to explode without the application of an "external force".


All iPhone users should now feel safe because your savior Steve Jobs says the iPhone is perfect. And that if it blows up on you it's your own damn external force.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, anthropomorphic global warming, or cooling for that matter, is near impossible to prove.

Anthropomorphic pollution on the other hand, is very provable and a much more insidious problem. That said, most of the "green" movement deals directly with some of the causes of pollution, so I don't mind it when some liberal hippy wants to shut down a plant in China because it emits CO2, because at the same time that plant is also churning chemicals into the Yangtze and putting out a crapload of SO2

I agree. We should be moving forward towards cleaner industry and cars. And over the past 100 years we have made huge advancement in that. Scare tactics and manipulating data is the wrong approach. If these same scientists put forth as much work creating new clean techniques and pushing them to the market instead of playing games with statistical data and bickering about the 'evil corporations' we'd be nearly 'green' by now.

I think their reasoning is a little far-fetched.  I think the chances of getting lung cancer via second-hand smoke by working on a computer that was in a smoker's house, are pretty slim.

It would be more reasonable to say that by smoking around a computer the smoker is willfully causing damage to the machine, thus voiding the warranty.

I'm not a big fan of her but it is still worth mentioning. Bill O'Reilly says,

Quote
did you know the Associated Press, America's largest news wire service, used 11 reporters to check the accuracy of Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue"? Eleven.

Barack Obama has had two best-selling books. The Associated Press did not fact-check either one.

AP spokesman Paul Colford says that's because then-Senator Obama wasn't a major player when his books came out. Even if you believe that flimsy excuse, once he did become a presidential contender, shouldn't the AP have fact-checked his books?

I know I am beating a dead industry here, but the blatant left-wing bias of the American press has reached critical mass. It is simply out of control.

Even if you don't like Sarah Palin, you know she has been treated unfairly by the media. It shouldn't be happening.

It came out on Tuesday for the 360 and PS3. All the "What. The. Fuck."'s we keep throwing around is because W.T.F. is the last statement made in the main game. And it fits so well there because the ending is just that. It's exactly what was going through my head when it was said. Even better then the "Damn" that gets said when you screw up a reload in Gears of War 2.

The game sound is really good: I can hear footsteps and other directional game sounds clearly. Bass is good. Chat sucks through it though. It sounds flat and a bit muffled. Bass is great for actual gameplay, but not for chat. Overall it's a good buy for only $60.

- there's unique common infected of a sort now depending on where you are running around in the campaign...i.e. clowns zombies in a carnival that are like regular infected, but since they have squeaky shoes they attract all sorts of unwanted attention if they chase someone
- witches roam around in the daylight
- finales aren't the same old copy and paste finishers like in L4D1...each one is different in some way (either in what you have to do, environmental stuff, when taking on tanks in the finales in L4D2 there are special zombies that attack as well, etc)
- Nick and Ellis are badasses...not as collectively badass as Francis, who will be the greatest L4D character to date, but close enough I suppose.

Software Patents are a terrible terrible thing.

AJAX is 'patented' so the millions of people who use it can potentially be sued. I guess this isn't old news but they finally dropped the huge lawsuit for it. I am sensing what will amount to a near repeat of the LZW compression patent on GIF files from 15 years ago all over again.

That's why PNG was invented. People were in fear of getting sued over using GIF files on their webpages. They wanted to charge people per GIF image. It practically put CompuServe out of business and Unisys received so much bad press they barely exist today.

Just as an aside about IMAX. Please be aware that about two years ago normal multiplex theatres were branding their largest screens as IMAX Digital, which is very misleading. Don't blame the theaters though, it was the CEO of IMAX who somewhat forced them into that.

But just so you are aware, here is a map in progress (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=h&source=embed&msa=0&ll=11.005904,-84.726562&spn=76.455485,113.554688&z=3&msid=113621990356540393221.000469b6c5915161c3667) of real vs fake IMAX screens throughout the world. It doesn't list them all, so before you head to see Avatar IMAX 3D, be sure the screen and sound system are the real thing, no need to settle. That said, I am waiting for Avatar to hit the local museum theaters here in DC (usually 6 months to 1 year). That's right, it makes that big of a difference to me.

Good reads and he's quick to point out the negatives about the extremes of both sides.

This guy in the comments made a post that I thought was pretty interesting:

"Why it’s cold now is because of changes in the arctic oscillation, pushing down the cold arctic air further than it normally goes.

Why has the oscillation changed? Well, that cold artic air is 5 to 9 degrees warmer than it normally is.

The problem isn’t that it’s not getting warmer, it is. The problem is some of that warmer air is still damn cold and going places it doesn’t usually go."

Hmm, I haven't bought a new lego set since the last mindstorms (orginal) expansion pack!

I always liked Technic and Mindstorms because it was more engineery. Technic still has a great line up of models, most of which have motors and or pneumatics. Mindstorms I can't say the same about, the new stuff looks very toyish.

This is probably the feature model of the year: http://technic.lego.com/en-us/Products/8258.aspx

And then they have the star wars line up and the other regular stuff. Which I was never really into much.

I remember having a big plastic bucket of maybe 1,000 or so random Lego pieces.  Doesn't seem like much now, but I remember being young and thinking 1,000 Legos could build every conceivable thing on the planet.  

And sure enough whenever I needed a very specific piece it was nowhere to be found.

Is there anything you can't do with Lego brand toy building bricks? Probably -- but we're not here to dwell on the negative. In this space, we've seen everything from a USB charger to a 3D scanner built with the things, but if you still haven't had your fix, Luke Anderson (the Lego computer guy) has full on, step-by-step instructions for building an enclosure for your Linksys WRT54GL router. It's stackable, all the buttons, LEDs, and ports are accounted for, and your young child can break a small piece off and choke on it. In other words, it combines the functionality of a router with the charm of your favorite toy! Ready to dive in? We thought so... hit the source link to get started.

Great, now we can go back to jacking each other off in one big circle jerk while the walls continue to crumble around us. Maybe we blocked major improvements to our current healthcare system, but at least we kept the dems from looking good!

I'm tired of it being so political at this point. Both sides agree there needs to be health care reform. The public option was taken out. Hell, almost everything that would "reform" health care was taken out, and yet the Republicans refuse to play ball because they know if Obama pushes through healthcare, it will be an instant legacy for his first term in office and give him a push forward for re-election.

If they thought the health care reform would fail, they'd let it pass and say "I told you so" so that they could come clean up the "mess" in three years.

And...Sarah Palin is a Fox News contributor. I don't know if that makes a bigger joke out of Fox News or the Republican Party. As if Fox News wasn't a big enough propaganda machine...

Post by: Fuse on January 19, 2010, 11:22:38 pm
You think wanting to stop this bill is about Obamas image? That is such an ignorant thing to say, and I'm surprised. Have you even read the bill? Tell me what parts you liked in it, and what parts in it you didn't. Why would the non-democrats let something bad for the country pass for pride?

How do you explain that the majority of the American people do not want this healthcare bill (http://www.lostlocalhost.com/?view=plink&id=273)? (Latest poll reflects 38% Favor Health Care Plan, 56% Are Opposed - Just 18% of voters Strongly Favor the plan while 44% are Strongly Opposed) Do you think most of America is out to get Obama and make sure he isn't elected a second term? And if that is the case, isn't that the point of the Republic?

Who claims this is about making the dems look bad, or the reps look good? Nearly everyone I've talked to  (including libertarians, republican, independents, and even democrats) is getting sick of the party BS. So why are liberals still stuck on it?

T, when spewing stuff like that you should really back it up with some sources. Perhaps starting with where you get the idea that "the Republicans refuse to play ball because they know if Obama pushes through healthcare, it will be an instant legacy for his first term in office and give him a push forward for re-election." Why is it that despite being told over and over again the reasons, you still think it's about one man, a political party, racism, or God - as you alluded to in a post altering Broins words a couple pages back... Did you ever stop and think that maybe those independents and other conservative groups might actually believe this bill is bad for the PEOPLE?

By the way, I admittedly can not find the direct link to the stats, but Republicans are actually more pleased (perhaps I should say less dissatisfied) with this democratic congress than independents! I'll try and find that link tomorrow. EDIT: The stats I found were actually from a few months ago - currently, Congress has a %58 approval rate (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/congressional_performance); %79 of rep, %32 of dem, and %68 of those not affiliated with a party dissaprove.

Not trying to be a pain, but I have a small feeling that I keep up on this stuff a bit more than the average person from as many views and sides as I can, yet nearly all of your political posts are pretty opposite from the facts I read and seem to be primarily opinion based. That's fine, but not logical in a debate, IMHO.



Then again, it is a randomness thread on a gaming based board. So, HEY LOOK OUT! A GUN!

I like my local NPR feed through WAMU. The guests they invite on the show are very knowledgeable and candid. I will paraphrase-On the issue of healthcare "reform:" The problem from the beginning, and it still lingers now, nobody can come up with a fair way to reduce the cost of insurance premiums. Regardless of what happens with the current bill, the cost of everything healthcare related is going upward at a rate faster than wages/company revenue can keep up with.

In my opinion, I see one of two things happening eventually:
1. Status quo on healthcare. In a decade or so related individual (read-out of take home pay) healthcare costs get so high, that a form of revolution occurs rather quickly in response (either that or another government bailout :-p)
2. Healthcare becomes an ongoing social program gets absorbed it into our multi-trillion dollar debt until step 1 occurs (read-when a sufficient % of take home pay is fucked with)

Not being from your neck of the woods I do not grasp (or indeed pay that much attention to) the intricacies of what obama et al are trying to achieve.

My point is not so much who is wrong or right, rather the way to attack any argument must be by argument and fact as opposed to sources of questionable worth?

I actually just saw something on that on the weeklystandard (http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2010/01/kristol_the_left_vs_rasmussen.asp).

Quote
By contrast, one who is relatively serious, Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com, comments on his blog that "Rasmussen's election polling has tended to be quite accurate in the past." The fact is that in 2008, when Obama won by 7, Rasmussen's final poll had him ahead by 6. For the final five weeks or so of the campaign, Rasmussen showed Obama with a stable and solid lead, with between 50 and 52 percent of the vote -- which I know pretty much matched the McCain and Obama campaign's private polling. Other public polls fluctuated wildly. Pew matched Rasmussen's final result, but they had Obama +15 a week before. Gallup's final poll had Obama ahead by 11, and the Washington Post had Obama by 9 (and by 11 one night before the final poll). So Rasmussen came through in 2008.


So his polling results have been supposedly "pro-democrat" in the past. now you can assume this either means he "sides" with whoever seems to be the popular view for a time, or the Rasmussen group does reasonable polling work and simply reflects the view of the people.

With that said, I do agree that any poll should be scrutinized, and never be your only source for information. So for my congressional approval quote there is also a nice spreadsheet from polling report. These I beleive are just a collection of unscientific polls from other sites, but even the liberal network (CNN) shows only %27 of people approve of congress.

http://www.pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm

And on the healthcare questions, the Rasmussen results are right in the middle of most other polls from accross multiple other organizations.

http://www.pollingreport.com/health.htm

In that ABC/Washington Post poll almost as many people (%39) Strongly Oppose this healthcare reform as the people who strogly support (%22) and somewhat support (%22) it. (Somewhat Opposed was at %12) When asked "Based on what you have read or heard about those bills, do you generally favor them [the changes] or generally oppose them?" %56 of people tell CNN they oppose it; the same number Rasmussen reported.

Another thing I find very interesting fromt he collection of polling data on that site is that people have an overwhelmingly positive 'impression' of Obama himself, yet nearly every poll about his job as president shows he's lacking in nearly every aspect. (Specifically, people appear to like his work on environmental issues the most - and are most upset about his economic policies. IMO, economic policies are the root of everything right now (http://tinyurl.com/BOD120) - Not solely his fault, but his responsibility to know what to do with it)

Here's the other consideration: if multiple polls showed different things, or they were consistantly within the MOE, an argument could be made for either side. (Personally I don't think policy decisions should be made when it's THAT close anyways)

They've been to damn chicken shit to do what they need to do to get it done.  Again there is nothing the Rep could've of done to stop them.  Nothing (.) Period

The fact is that the general majority didn't want the shit they were peddling.  The Dems who weren't fuckin crazy understood what was coming and the fuckin crazy ones who don't care are having a hard time leading the ones with some common sense to their own slaughter.  

Don't make this a Rep. thing and get the hell off the Palin shit.  Personally you start out by saying how things are political and how you don't like it then turn around and start slinging shit at her for no good damn reason other than the small minded ridiculous hate that you've been filled with by whomever you've been watching on tv or listening to in person.

Um, my rant was a response to Lithium's little "Welcome back to America" comment, which I felt was a throwback to just one of those stupid catchphrases that don't mean anything (i.e. "real America" as opposed to what?).

And I understand that Dems have been a part of the problem. They were so political with their individual agendas they made it impossible to get anything done. If there's anything more embarrassing to losing the 60 seat filibuster to what should have been an easy win, it's not accomplishing anything while having that filibuster.

As for Palin...are you really defending her? She was a poor excuse to the Reps answer to Hilary. What was the most recent revelation...that she had to be taught American history from the ground up because she didn't understand any of it. If Obama started hosting news at MSNBC, I'd be embarrassed for the whole lot of them as well.

"Real America" will always be opinion based. I tend to follow numbers a bit more; and in that case I challenge you to find me something that shows America is not a middle-right nation. If using the Obama election as an example, please first understand where Obama the candidate was, versus where Obama the President is. They're not exactly matching.

I borrowed my wifes brightest nailpolish and with an eyeglass screwdriver I carfully put it on my front sight. It was initially a test, because I didn't want pink on my gun and it was going to be easy to remove if I made a mistake - but with it as bright as it is I think I'm keeping it. Yes, it's pink, but it serves it's purpose very well against dark or light backgrounds. Usually it looks red anyways.

Or you could just go with a traditional LCD monitor.

IMO Eden Espinosa does a better Elfaba than Idina Menzel herself... youtube it her 'Defying Gravity' You might agree.

Not only does she take the high F written into the song and warble it with a high G or G# (which is nearly impossible to chest, btw) but she makes the choice to head voice the earlier Dflats and Eflats so that the finale is more powerful. She seems way more into the character than the music which gives a better overall performance.

I got turned on to this lovely lady because she's a friend of a friend, she did the Wicked tour in LA at the Pantages Theatre. Always good to spread the love, ya know?

Honestly, though, I tried two of the Jell-O shots last night... and you can't really tell we used shitty alcohol. I mean, you can certainly tell we didn't use Grey Goose or anything, but we're college students on a budget, and if you can get away with putting Popov into these things and make it so they taste like we used better alcohol, I'm all for it.

We have a 9 hour bus ride tomorrow to get to our Regional Ski Meet in the Upper Peninsula. It's easiest to kill that time drunk.

By no means is the game controls "intuitive". They do require a bit of learning.

At first, yes it was very awkward but didn't take long to get used to.

As an Alien player since the old school AvP games, i have to say i love what they've done with them. The fact that taking out lights not only helps keep you in the shadows but helps your vision is great. Along with the way the melee system works and how you can't just spam left click or you'll get your ass handed to you.


The game takes a bit to get used to the controls but once you do it's extremely satisfying taking on multiple people at once and surviving, something that was virtually impossible with the Old school avp games.

As for balance... Well, in the right hands just about all three classes can knock you on your ass. I say it's not perfect but done pretty well in comparison the older AVP games. As i said before, it just takes a little bit of time getting into instead of babying you with simple controls and mechanics like most games.

In comparison to what? If you are refering to Bad Company 1, I can't say much since i've never played the first one =/

Right now, from the beta, i can say they picked a BAD mode to try and show the game off.

It's called Rush and it's roots are basically Attack vs Defend.

The Defending side has two com stations that they must defend while attack must either set a charge or straight up blow the damn building this thing is in to Kingdom come.

After these two stations are downed the Defenders are moved back to a fallback base where they repeat the same process until they reach the end of the map.

This, of course, leads to a LOT of camping most of the time with just a bunch of recon guys sniping.

This isn't always the case but it can get a little annoying if you prefer up close assault action.

I like the game a LOT so far though. The fact that there is structural damage to the point that a fucking building can collapse on me if there isn't enough support caught me by surprise one day and left me in awe ever since.

The original emulator developer has a barebones server up and running.  There's not much you can do besides chat and run around Richland.  Some times chat packets get lost, so occasionally you'll only hear one side of a conversation.

Progress is being made, little by little.

We'll be hitting up Howl at the Moon (dueling piano bar) on Friday night and have free entry, free meal, and discounted drinks for the night. If interested in that let me know.

I use HTTP_REFERRER if it exists, but it doesn't always come through. You'd be surprised how often people simply copy/paste, or for whatever other odd reason the HTTP_REFERRER isn't correctly populated, especially from facebook. I actually started using this because I wanted to track who got to the site using my QRCode.

Hot Tub Time Machine was hilarious!  I highly recommend going to see it!

www.eventful.com/campaigns/hottub

I did the "Host a screening" thing.  All you do is sign up to host.  They send you an email that you print as your ticket and it's good for you and 9 friends.  You go to the theater on the day of the screening, find the MGM Representative.  You get reserved seating in the theater, free popcorn and soda, and a Hot Tub Time Machine shirt.  

Didn't cost me anything, got treated like a VIP, and got to see the movie an entire month before anyone else!  It was pretty awesome.

Of course you can also sign up just to attend a screening and not host, but then you don't get the VIP treatment. :P

Apple says it's requiring the suppliers to develop new measures to correct the violations.

Some of the measures include repaying workers who were underpaid and implementing new systems to ensure correct payment and weekly work-time in the future. The company promises to follow up with the factories to be certain they've taken the appropriate steps.


Can you believe that? They're actually owning up to their mistake and taking action to make sure it doesn't happen again.  This bullshit has gone on long enough! It's time to take these sons of bitches down!

Today I read a story about how the 10^27 number range doesn't have a name. There is a movement to name this range "Hella", and I think that's Hella Cool.

Official SI prefixes:
10 = deca
100 = hecto
1,000 = kilo
1,000,000 = mega
1,000,000,000 = giga
1,000,000,000,000 = tera

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = zetta
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = yotta
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = unnamed

I find it interesting that they don't have a name for 10^27 through 10^99, but they named 10^100 a Googol. I'm not sure why they don't just use the Short Scale names. (Short scale of 10^27 = Octillion, 10^30 = nonillion)

Googol = 1 with 100 zeros
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Damnit... you edited right as I refreshed and hit quote... =)

Slightly incorrect...Well, I was in my comparison to the universe.

10^100 is a Googol. A Googleplex is 10 to the power of a googol, or 10^google, or 10(10^100).

From wiki: "In the documentary Cosmos, astronomer and broadcast personality Carl Sagan estimated that writing a googolplex in base-10 numerals (i.e., 1 followed by a googol of zeroes) would be physically impossible, since doing so would require more space than the known universe provides."

Well, how long has it been now since The Matrix was the hottest thing on dvd/blu-ray?  

Yes, it was a great series of movies and a definite one of a kind idea.  However, its "IT" factor has diminished.

I got into a heated argument with some of my friends this afternoon after one said that they found "The Matrix" boring and the others said that the other two sucked. I basically said that some people can't handle movies that both provide entertainment AND force you to have to think about things at the same time.

Good for you!

It really bugs me when people say that it sucks, too. Just because they didn't kill off the big, bad, mean Machines in the end, and the ending was a little different, doesn't make it a bad movie. The second and third movies were also built up to be so much more than what they were. Every fan of the original movie wanted something different, and nothing would have lived up to the hype of the second/third movies because everyone built the first movie up too much.

I also think that most people just don't have the attention span to watch both of the movies back to back. They're really just one long story, but, because they chose to include so much stuff, it had to be cut. People think the second movie sucked because there was no conclusion and nothing was really solved. As previously mentioned, people hated the third movie because of the different ending.

I get into this debate with my co-workers all the time.  A few weeks back we had some corporate auditors in the office, and our manager told us specifically to not bring up The Matrix so as to avoid getting into a heated argument within earshot of the suits.

I understand The Matrix has fallen far to the wayside in terms of popular culture, despite its influence continuing to impact all kinds of visual media, but I didn't think it had gotten so bad that retailers would be practically giving the DVD set away.

Well, you are kinda talking about two different issues here.  You're talking about its monetary value vs its intellectual and philisophical value.  You seem to forget that some of the best things in life are not measured by their monetary cost.  Westerners in general are extremely shallow.  We think that because something costs alot, that it must be a quality product.  So, we'd rather watch formula bound stories with shallow, easy to follow stories with fairy tale endings than watch something that makes us consider the purpose of our very existence.

I have one better.  While parachuting out of a downed chopped, I RPGed 2 guys trying to kill me and the other passengers chuting down the chopper.  I then knifed a sniper in the back for good measure.  XD

Or there was this time where I jumped into the middle of 4 guys behind a wall, knifed 2 of them, had their medic friend defib one of his teammates by accident, then knifed one of the original guys I killed again when he got rezzed.  XD

Part of the smoke may come from buildings being blown up, which can't be helped via graphical settings.

Once you get into multiplayer, the smoke is a lot less inhibiting because the maps are so much bigger and less linear. You can see very, very far distances in the multiplayer. Of course, you'll end up wanting there to be more smoke because you'll get bombarded with sniper fire more than you can wrap your head around.

Yeah. You WILL find yourself VERY frustrated with this game (multiplayer especially) in the beginning because you're getting used to the game and playing against other, real people. There's a high learning curve, but not in the same sense that Darkfall had a high learning curve... that game was just God-awful. The game just takes getting used to.

I was lucky enough to not have much of a problem because the game feels similar to Battlefield 2, and I spent over 300 hours in that game, so I was instantly having fun while some other people were getting a bit more frustrated.

I got into a bit of a twist at first because I'm coming from Modern Warfare 2, It is a very high learning curve for an FPS. After I got to Rank 1, everything had leveled out by then and i was in the groove with aim speed, player reaction, high traffic areas etc. The game is a blast and is prolly one of the best FPS ever created.

I kick ass as a Black Hawk pilot, keeping it steady and doing some insane missle lock dodges that makes the Black Hawk Down pilots look like a grandma with prosthetic hips. Sniping is so much fun. I got over 400 points for a marksman kill; I was on the island map. I sniped some 200 meters from the Attacking starting point, over the island and got a double kill at the back of the village.

I gotta be honest, I didn't really play the games - but loved the movies.

Plus you can NOT go wrong with Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter...HOT.

Paul W.S. Anderson is back to directing - as he did the first, so I have high hopes for it compared to 2 and what I've heard about 3. Even the images look cool.

Yeah. At first they had it to where you could only play a few missions, but now they've completed it and you can supposedly play through the whole game. They bundled everything up so that it is a fairly painless process.

I still haven't forgiven them for fucking up the storyline. Don't get me wrong, Resident Evil 4 and 5 were great fun, but not the 'Holy-shit-myself-William-Shatner!' kind of scary like RE:Make. Now that game is one of the best I've ever played on the shit-myself-factor. I find a slow, rumbling advance is alot scarier than loads running towards you with machetes - If I wanted that I'd play MW or something.

In all honesty, I haven't cared about an RE game since the original. And I don't think I ever cared at all for any of the movies.

Agreed and Agreed.

Also, Teck -- If they reinvent the movies to where they showcase what the games were about, then I would watch them depending on the actors chosen.

However, 9 times out of 10 movies made about games or using games as their background blow more than a 2 dollar hooker on Nebraska ave.

There are few exceptions like Mortal Kombat (1 Only), Silent Hill and Advent Children. It's rare but it can happen, so i'll keep my hopes up.

I believe I've heard Splinter Cell will have the same DRM protection, yes. It took them a month to crack Assassin's Creed 2, but I'm hoping since they now know which direction to go with it, it won't take long to crack Splinter Cell. If you don't get the cracked version, then yeah, you gotta be online.

Btw, just finished Assassin's Creed 2!! Pretty good game! Was worth the wait!

basically cracking the lock of software OS on the device so you can load your own versions of ROMs.

Imagine you buy a Dell PC which has windows xp on it with all the bloatware from Dell on it, but they lock it so you can't uninstall their software or a different OS. Rooting is getting rid of that lock.

Post by: Manic Velocity on April 19, 2010, 09:31:50 pm
Can someone explain to me how this is not illegal?:

It was revealed today that the presidents of the company I work for revoked our 401k matching at the end of 2009. They took that money and put it into the company's profit, so that the company could appear to have made our productivity goal, when in reality we fell quite short. This appearance of profit ("false profit"... get it?) allowed our parent company to reward annual bonuses to our company presidents. The employees received a very small percentage of profit sharing which was taxed, where our 401k matching would not have been taxed.

Long story short: My co-workers and I got royally screwed on our retirement, while our employers went to sleep on large piles of money.

Many people are gearing up to quit because of this. Something inside me tells me that what my employers did was very very illegal. Any law students willing to offer advice?
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on April 19, 2010, 09:49:05 pm
It's a benefit, a perk. Matching contributions are optional for a company to provide, so I'm fairly sure there's nothing you can do. Really shitty on their part, but not illegal. I would support quitting or boycott.

Shouldn't you have a contract for a 401k? Something that binds them to it?
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on April 20, 2010, 12:35:07 am
you're legally protected to keep the money you put in, obviously, but company matching is strictly a perk that each company reevaluates each and every year. The majority of companies do not offer this, so if you get matching (especially a full promised match) you're lucky. The only thing that may smell in this situation is the reasoning for not providing it.

I'm very lucky to be in a company that had provided a full match every year for the last thirteen years, but this last year we were very close to breaking that streak.

meh, you're young, 401k's are overrated unless the company is 100% vested in you (typically 5 years for a matching asset program, even then, better to just do enough to max out the company contributions). you're better off putting you're money in a roth ira (and hopefully maxing you're contributions).

Still, I contribute a decent amount, and the matched contribution would have been a nice chunk of change if my employers weren't more concerned with their annual bonuses.  

And the $12 profit sharing check was just salt in the wound.

Steve Jobs: 'Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone!'

I belive the right word here is cocky. Apple CEO Steve Jobs is on a roll. While he's probably had better days than today, he's lately been shooting off emails left and right in response to customers' concerns. We just were sent what appears to be one such Jobs response, sent last week surrounding the whole Mark Fiore situation. And it's a good one. When questioned about Apple's role.

When questioned about Apple's role as moral police in the App Store, Jobs responds that 'we do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone.' Better, is what he said next: 'Folks who want porn can buy and [sic] Android phone.'

Looks like we are all buying an Android phone guys !

I have never had issues with an AMD processor. The performance vs. cost ratio is much higher on AMD builds.

Intel on the other hand I've had stupid annoying issues with their laptop processors. For example, the Centrino in my laptop has an annoying 'high-pitched buzz' which is caused by the processor jumping power levels. And back in the day Celerons or whatever they were called were crap. But I give Intel Electrical Engineers huge props because Intel architecture is disastrous but they made it work and well.

I know you don't find it as addicting as the psp ones because of the fact that you can't finish off a quest later if RL stuff comes up / the portability issue....but I dunno dude, I fucking love this one the most so far.  I wonder how the new psp one is going to be now with the lances / gunlances changes they made...looking really forward to it!

Post by: Fuse on May 19, 2010, 10:05:28 am
Finally got around to reading 1070...

Quote

Thank God for immigration... (http://www.lostlocalhost.com/?view=plink&id=312&fr=faAZ)
I married into an immigrant family. Thank God I did. I've been a typical American and had a limited view of world politics, hardships, or any reference for historical atrocities. Then I got married. I became much more cultured, and while I'm still a spoiled American, at least I can recognize it and respect how hard immigrant families sacrifice and how hard they work.

My thoughts are pretty simple on Senate Bill 1070/2162. In order to agree with me on most points, you have to believe one fundamental item: ILLEGAL immigrants who came here without going through the proper process are here ILLIGALLY, and have committed a federal crime.
This is not an opinion, it is federal law, and a necessary need for US safety.

More points for AZ:
-It's supporting federal law
-It's needed because the federal government isn't doing its job
-There are legal ways to become a US citizen. It may be long and difficult, but aren't we worth it? Shouldn't it be difficult?
-Hiring illegal immigrants amounts to slavery. They can be paid less, work more, and have standard benefits withheld. (Ending illegal immigration benefits economy (http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/05/03/frum.immigration.education/index.html))
-It is unfair to legal immigrants (http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/30/arizona.hispanics.immigration/index.html)
-Immigrants of all kinds are required to keep on them documentation proving their residency status. This is nothing new.

The last item of note deals with the concept of race and the primary fear those against this bill have... I'll quote directly from the bill itself:
"A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR A COUNTY,
CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE MAY NOT SOLELY
CONSIDER RACE, COLOR OR NATIONAL ORIGIN IN IMPLEMENTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THIS SUBSECTION EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE UNITED STATES OR
ARIZONA CONSTITUTION."

Get it? It states that more than a few times.

This bill also states that employers who knowingly employ ILLIGAL immigrants, or knowingly deal with companies that employ ILLIGAL immigrants are in violation of the law. There are a ton of mentions of federal government codes and restrictions. Simply for that alone this will be held up in any scrutiny.

It's a damn shame that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and our Attourney General Eric Holder bash this thing WITHOUT EVEN READING IT (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/18/napolitano-admits-read-arizona-immigration-law/)! I would be fine simply disagreeing with them if they had some reasons, but they don't even know what's in it and they're saying it's not a good thing. It sure reminds me of a famous screw-up by the BigO saying "police acted stupidly" without having any information at all.

These are our leaders.

I suggest you (and our government officials) read the bill in its entirety before making any judgments. I'll even give it to you: Arizona Bill 1070 Full Text (http://www.azleg.gov/DocumentsForBill.asp?Bill_Number=SB1070) - Click "Show Versions".


Uh huh-I went there. =)
Sure seems like common sense to me. If there is anyone against this bill, I'm interested to see (1) if you have read it (2) what sections and text of the bill you disagree with (3) what your impressions of the current immigration policy are and (4) if you are just now interested in this, considering this simply allows AZ to enforce federal law that has been around for a very-very-very long time.
Title: randomness
Post by: Tbone on May 19, 2010, 06:51:21 pm
It seems to be a pretty moot law. As far as I know, the police have always been able to ask for an ID at any given time. I'm not sure what the big difference is. I mean, I understand the concerns of racial profiling and the risk of officers trying to cite this law as a reason for it, but I don't think that's the intention. It's basically just reinforcing cops' ability to act on it if someone doesn't have their ID on them.

As long as cops aren't just pulling over every person who looks Mexican just to check ID, it shouldn't change much. Cops still need a reason to pull you over or approach you, and I don't think this law gives them "because you're brown" as an excuse.

Like you said, I assumed these laws had been around for a while.

Post by: Fuse on May 23, 2010, 06:16:01 pm
That was the third most sickest most exhilarating thing I've ever done in my life. (Sex and flying a plane solo for my first time still beat it)

It was a 14,000 jump. $210. The weather was perfect. 92 degrees, slightly windy.Worth every penny.
My JM(Jumpmaster) is a cool guy, but the training portion sucked ass. He has been doing this for over 14 years and has over 8000 jumps. I was really just a piece of luggage for him. All the training I got was "legs bent, hips out, head back when we go out - then let me do all the work" while he smoked and drank his red bull.

As for the jump itself... I realize how much of a pilot I really am, because I had my head mostly in the cockpit of the plane as we ascended. The pilot had an "Easy Button" from the Office Depot commercials on the yolk...awesome.

Just about to go out as he straps me butts-to-nuts to him he asks if I get motion sick, I answer hell no. I believe this is when he decided we were going to do backflips out of the plane. Sure enough when it was our turn - 1,2,3-FALL-SPIN-FALL-OH SHIT... We did about 3-4 backflips out of the plane. I'm not sure how many because I really only remember seeing the plane's belly twice, then trying to get my bearings. Freefall is something hard to describe, so I won't try too hard. It's strange, and incredible. Passing by and through clouds is one of my favorite things to do while flying, so seeing one go right past you in freefall is 10x better.
Our opening was really smooth. Hanging 4,000 feet in the air with very little to no sound, in 90+ degree weather with an amazing feeling breeze is (again) indescribable. Corkscrews = the win.

Anyone near Chicago up for joining me for the A Licence AFF program? :)

The Minge

The minge is not the actual vagina, but the hair surrounding the area. On the labia majora and the pubic mound. Loose, shaggy hair that is not neatly trimmed, and may be a little fragranced with 'girl perfume'.

For a Verbal example:

"My minge is so sweaty, and tufts of hair are coming out the side of my pants. Perhaps I should get a Brazillian."

Man the more I read up on all the new stuff they're doing with The Old Republic the more I can't wait to play it.  Assuming Bioware has a good launch (most MMOs don't, so not really holding my breath) this shit is gonna be a blast!


Same, I'm just hoping I get my M11x by then ;)

I love my m11x. :D
Quote from: "ArchNemesis"
Well the M11x is having a refresh this summer with an i3,i5, and i7 core...

So I'd recommend if you haven't gotten one already to wait until the refresh happens.

Yes sir!  It's also supposed to be getting nVidia's Optimus tech. :D

Quote from: "NoCry"
aye; spotted this just in time arch. can't wait.

Yeah, a little ticked that it's getting such a nice upgrade so soon after I bought mine, but that's the way technology is.

It just means I'll be buying a new one. :D


So I take it that the M11x will increase in price when it gets updated? :/

I rang up Alienware the other day and they said I can get at least 6% off when I buy it. Wewp.

Oh and Teck, does the m11x cope well when its OC'd or does it overheat?

I haven't heard anything about an increase in price, but honestly, I wouldn't expect it to jump that much.  The m11x is meant to be a "cheap" gaming laptop option.  If anything, I'd expect the dual-core Pentium ($800 base) option to be replaced with the i3, the Core 2 Duo (+$100) option to be replaced with the i5, and the i7 possibly being a +$200 option.

As far as discounts, I know for the US, they give discounts to university students.  I don't remember how much it actually is.  You should see if they offer that over there.

The m11x has an "Overclock" function in the BIOS.  Accessible to anyone, and allowed/covered by Alienware.  It bumps the current 1.4ghz processors up to 1.7ghz.  I've run mine in Overclock mode since first boot.  The only time the computer ever gets really hot for me is when I'm playing something graphic intensive, like BF:BC2.  And even then, I don't feel like it was unreasonably hot for a gaming laptop.

Post by: ArchNemesis on June 04, 2010, 01:54:35 pm
The price might jump a bit but i would definitely think it's worth it. The main bottleneck for the M11x was the CPU and now it's become even more amazing now with it's i core cpus.

@Nocry, Will make some and do the usual as soon as possible buddy.

Although i might not be around this weekend so you might have to wait a bit.

I can't believe how cheap the m11x is for you guys. I'm really tempted to buy it from the US and get it shipped. It's about $1300 over here for the base package :(

If I get the m11x from the US it's £613.23, but from the UK it's £849 and they're both the same build! I really don't get that...

Yeah, i don't know what to tell ya on that end...

If you feel comfortable with one of us in the US, i'm sure we wouldn't mind purchasing it for you and shipping it.  I think Paypal would be the easiest way to transfer the money.

Also, in regards to getting discounts and such, ALWAYS mention if you are in the military or in school. You can get an instant 10% discount this way.

Another thing to do is, instead of purchasing it through the internet, call Dell up and talk to a sales rep.

They work on commission so chances are you can either receive a MUCH better discount or at least get away with some free shit like free 1 day shipping, a free backpack, etc. If you get someone that's stubborn just hangup and try again. You wouldn't want that prick getting a portion of your money anyway, right?

Anyway, instead of writing a wall of text i'll post this.

Right, so the i5 and i7 came out today and has hiked up the price to £929 with 4GB RAM.

So... how does the i5 compare to the duo core and i7. Is there much difference?

I'm thinking of getting the i5 since the i7 is considerably more... :/
Title: randomness
Post by: ArchNemesis on June 08, 2010, 11:58:03 pm
Considering that the i7 runs at 2.26 ghz on turbo (Which, if i remember correctly means that when it's either using one or two cores it throttles the cores that are not being in use to overclock the currently used cores) It's quite a bit faster than the i5.

The i5 is a slight step up from the previous C2Duo Cpu. You might want to read up on how the i cores work though. I don't remember all the details for them in exact so =/

Just remember that you can should just try to find a rep willing to work with how much you're willing to spend.

Yeah, my steering went out so I got off at the nearest exit. In my haste, I didn't realize it was a CIA entrance. It led me straight to the gate, so I pulled half a U turn and pulled over to call my insurance. 15 seconds later I was surrounded by three officers with shotguns. I went through a brief interrogation and check and then spent the next three and a half hours outside of the gate waiting for the tow truck to show up. I just now got home, and now I'm probably on some no-fly list.

Okay, now I'm not excited about this new Dragon Age. You don't keep your original character from the first so your choices don't affect this one (Morrigan having your Evil God baby would've been such an awesome storyline). You now play as Hawke, a survivor from the Fifth Blight. This is shit.

I think I'm moving to Fresno, since my friend is in the process of looking up a few houses that are dirt-ass cheap 'cause they're re-possessed (I guess the original owners couldn't pay the mortgage or something). He's moving there end of spring next year (and travelling from the east coast). By the time I graduate in 2012, he'll already be at the west coast and have a house.

I'm still looking up some things like funds (I can't believe how fucking expensive it is to go to university in the U.S. and that's for you guys who are residents!), how long will it be (by 2012, I'll already have a Masters in Osteopathic Medicine) so will I have to do the full 4 years or not?

If it falls to the net I'll still, most probably, stay in the area for a few months and do some minor jobs like cleaning plates at diners or something like that.

American University is bloody fucking expensive. Your living expenses are going to be absolutely terrible, also, in California ON TOP OF the school bills.

But you can't get a better education anywhere else.
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on July 23, 2010, 08:55:39 am
I would recommend anywhere BUT California. While the Irvine area has some good reviews (one report even calling it one of the most educated towns in America) and I'd love to visit Caltech for the JPL, most can't get over the fact that the CA economic and housing system is the worst in the nation. Absolutley beautiful beaches. Even more beautiful women (Lits). I'm unsure how much those things will affect you being on an education visa (I'm assuming) but those houses were repossessed for good reason. I would LOVE to visit, but would never want to live there.

The midwest is your best bank-for-your-buck as far as housing/living costs right now - as long as you stay out of large cities. For example, according to CNNMoney (http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/moneymag/1007/gallery.best_places_affordable_homes.moneymag/2.html) Lafayette, IN is #2 on the list of "best place with affordable homes" with it's major draw being the very popular Purdue University. Median home price there is in the 80,000. SUPER Cheap, but a very nice area.
The majorady of that list is Indianna, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Arizona, Florida. All of which have some very respectable school options.

If you're here for prestigious education, I suggest University of Chicago (http://www.college-admission-essay.com/med_universityofchicagopritzker.html). It's on virtually every top 10 college in the country list for good reason. It's also considered one of the top medical schools. Plus you can drink with Adad and I. Not nearly as sexy as time with Lits on an ocean beach - I know.
Title: randomness
Post by: Aerosian on July 23, 2010, 11:16:57 am
If you are planning on coming to California, Fresno is about as cheap as it can get. But Fuse is right, California is damn expensive to live in outside of perhaps Fresno and Riverside. University of Arizona is interesting, but don't get stuck in Tucson, it sucks. University of Chicago is amazing, and so is the University of Minnesota, if you're willing to put up with either wind or cold.
Up here in San Jose, CA it's possibly the most expensive place to live in the world, but we do have two of the best universities in the world here (Stanford and UC Berkeley) which would definitely get you on the right track towards makin the big bucks.
Since you're looking for your M.D. I'd definitely recommend University of New Mexico. My uncle studied there and got his M.D. from there and is doing quite well for himself.

Haha, I'm Welsh. I can withstand almost any amount of rain, wind or cold :p

As for California being expensive: I'll already be set up house wise, as far as I can tell. I think I'll be buying the house off my friend once he goes back to the UK (if he ever does). So all I'll have to pay is the course itself and food.

Next question: do students over there have to pay tax during their studies?
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on July 23, 2010, 12:00:17 pm
Not completley sure how taxes would work for you. If you plan on working, plan on paying.
If you own the property (not renting), there will be a property tax. I can only assume that sinse your place of residence is CA you're required to pay the expected state tax.

From a short bit of research, CA has the 6th highest state tax burden at estimated 10.5% of income. Also CA has the highest sales tax in the nation at 8.25% - so remember that is on everything you buy...Plus they have a progressive income tax which will be dependant on how much you make. It's a bit different than most other states. Illinois for instance bases our income tax as 3% of our federal tax burden.

Oh shit. Over here if you're a student you're exempt from every kind of tax... I was thinking it'd be the same since I'd be on a student visa and if I like it enough in the states I would apply for a full visa (I would have to pay tax then, of course). Will do some more research tomorrow. Need to go back into work. I've only been home for 3 hours *grumble*
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on July 23, 2010, 01:51:58 pm
It may be like that - as I said, I'm unsure how it works with Visa's. There are some exemptions for being a student, but those are usually cuts, not all-out exclusions. I know you are excluded from paying social security, FICA, and medicare taxes - but according to the F-1 wiki you're still on the line for federal and state.

Agreed. It somewhat reminds me of PN03... You know, that Capcom game that nobody knows anything about or has ever played, except seemingly me and about 3 friends.

As Kotaku transforms into Kotaku After Dark, let's enjoy the transition with a little off-topic conversation. Though, when the conversation may touch on The Matrix Online, the line may begin to blur. Stay with me!

See, this weekend, I opted to watch portions of The Matrix Revolutions, an entry in the Wachowski... siblings trilogy that I swore never to endure after viewing Reloaded. While I couldn't tolerate more than an hour of its dull exposition, it did make me more fondly remember the original for its freshness. It also made me think "Man, remember when everybody loved the shit out of The Matrix?" That was weird.

Did you like The Matrix? How long until you think we're due for a "reboot"? And do tigers like catnip?

Yesterday was bittersweet for me.
Sweet:Mid day I bought a bunch of stuff for my camera. I would like to get into DV, so I got a battery grip, a couple more batteries, an extra charger, an extra SD card, a camera handgrip, and also a shotgun mic for better audio. I'm trying to decide if I want a 24-70mm or a 70-200mm for my next purchase. They're both abotu the same price, but that's still another $800-$1200 I don't have. boo.

Bitter:Last night my computer had a stroke. It won't even power on. Going to try and test another PS, but am expecting the worst, that I need to build a whole new rig. grrr.

Sorry about the job loss Da6onet. I just started working a month ago after about a year and a half of unemployment. Keep you head up.

What camera do you have Fuse? What do you want to use the camera for? If it's for little projects that you'll have time to plan, I'd slowly buy prime lenses and instead find a rental house to rent them for your projects. If you want to have it ready for shooting at a moment's notice, then I guess getting some nice zooms would be better. What brand lenses are you shopping for?
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on August 12, 2010, 02:09:04 pm
Canon T2i. I have the cheap, but amazing 50mm 1.8 prime, the kit 18-55mm, and also a not-so-great but usable 75-300mm III.

When I say I'd like to get into DV, I mean "I don't know jack, but I'm impressed with what I see my camera is able to do int he hands of other people who know what they're doing, and I'd like to give it a shot."

The only video that I've really liked that I've taken wasn't corrected and wasn't shot with the best settings:

They got too greedy. Even after they removed the "pay to trade/sell" micro-transaction model due to its unpopularity, it had already left a bad taste in a majority of the player base's mouths (i.e. us), and I don't even think casual player want to pay per hour to play a game (the only people I can think of who would pay per hour like that is HARDCORE gamers). AND they only had two playable maps. AND weapon balance was horrifically off. AND lag was a consistent problem. AND there was no story. AND the "missions" were too repetitive and didn't offer enough variety in game play.

Character customization was cool, though.

Very nice.

I'd be glad to see that. I'm quite curious as to how well the 460 overclocks.

The laptop gtx 260 was ok at overclocking but my current 5870 mobility fucking slaps that shit out of the water. Of course, these are laptop cards but it's nice to see the advancements in technology and that fact that laptops can at least now hold a candle to desktop gaming (although much more expensive than it should be).

You'll enjoy the 460 for quite a while. If those benches are anything to go by, it has quite some pull even at stock speeds.

Fuse, your cpu smacks my amd 555, though my 5850 picked up some slack. I might have to try pushing the oc on my cpu to 3.99 (highest stable I've found) and retry. No money left for liquid cooling atm :-/


I have mine set to auto boost up-so this is at about 3.7ghz

Can you try running it with ppu disabled. from what I understand, that setting with an nvidia chipset will artificially boost the cpu score because of the physics test in the second cpu test. also, no need to waste time running the feature tests, they don't affect score.

after some digging, i discovered that my cpu just isn't that powerful, but then again, it was $89 :-p Here it is again unlocked and pushed to 3.937ghz

I actually do,  but mainly when I'm traversing files and the Internet.  It took a while to get use to the finger gesture but now it's almost second nature to me.  My only problem is that I have 3 monitors with work spread across all three so that one small tablet represents the screen of all three monitors.  Granted I have it configured this way on purpose so I can use the touch feature on all monitors but its still took some getting use to.  Also note that I have the pen feature only focus on one monitor at a time so it's much easier to use when I'm doing graphics.

So I traded 4 text books in through Amazon.com's trade-in offer. All together the books were quoted by Amazon at ~$170 (if I had sold them privately would have gotten ~$200, but I liked the supposed convenience).

All the books were in excellent condition and shipped via the same box with the USPS label provided by Amazon. They shipped August 13th, box labeled received August 28, trade-in order labeled received September 2. Only one problem, 3 of the 4 books are listed as "Not Yet Received." So to date I have $22 credited (cheapest of the 4 books) to my account. I'm starting to think this is one big scam by Amazon to get my books essentially for free and them tell me they lost the others or that they were damaged and per there policy, destroyed instead of returned.

Anyone else ever use the trade-in service through Amazon?

I don't think I could ever be at the same job for 5 years. I would kill myself too. The longest I've held a job is about 8 months and that was a long time. That's why I love my career choice.

I never could get all the way through the first Bioshock and didn't even bother to play the second one, but Bioshock Infinite looks absolutely freakin amazing. Holy crap. Check out this trailer:

Asus Rampage III Formula
Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3-1600
eVGA GeForce GTx 460 1GB SC EE
Corsair H50 CPU Cooler

Another GTX 460 will be purchased later for SLI.  Possibly another 6GB of the memory too, depending on how it performs.

This will all be replacing this: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1401593

A most extraordinary trial is going on in the High Court at the moment in which a man named Chrysler is accused of stealing more than 40,000 coat hangers from hotels round the world. He admits his guilt, but in his defence he claims that – well, perhaps it would be simpler just to bring you a brief extract from the trial. We join the case at the point where Chrysler has just taken the stand.



Counsel: What is your name?

Chrysler: Chrysler. Arnold Chrysler.

Counsel: Is that your own name?

Chrysler: Whose name do you think it is?

Counsel: I am just asking if it is your name.

Chrysler: And I have just told you it is. Why do you doubt it?

Counsel: It is not unknown for people to give a false name in court.

Chrysler: Which court?

Counsel: This court.

Chrysler: What is the name of this court?

Counsel: This is No 5 Court.

Chrysler: No, that is the number of this court. What is the name of this court?

Counsel: It is quite immaterial what the name of this court is!

Chrysler: Then perhaps it is immaterial if Chrysler is really my name.

Counsel: No, not really, you see because...

Judge: Mr Lovelace?

Counsel: Yes, m'lud?

Judge: I think Mr Chrysler is running rings round you already. I would try a new line of attack if I were you.

Counsel: Thank you, m'lud.

Chrysler: And thank you from ME, m'lud. It's nice to be appreciated.

Judge: Shut up, witness.

Chrysler: Willingly, m'lud. It is a pleasure to be told to shut up by you. For you, I would...

Judge: Shut up, witness. Carry on, Mr Lovelace.

Counsel: Now, Mr Chrysler – for let us assume that that is your name – you are accused of purloining in excess of 40,000 hotel coat hangers.

Chrysler: I am.

Counsel: Can you explain how this came about?

Chrysler: Yes. I had 40,000 coats which I needed to hang up.

Counsel: Is that true?

Chrysler: No.

Counsel: Then why did you say it?

Chrysler: To attempt to throw you off balance.

Counsel: Off balance?

Chrysler: Certainly. As you know, all barristers seek to undermine the confidence of any hostile witness, or defendant. Therefore it must be equally open to the witness, or defendant, to try to shake the confidence of a hostile barrister.

Counsel: On the contrary, you are not here to indulge in cut and thrust with me. You are only here to answer my questions.

Chrysler: Was that a question?

Counsel: No.

Chrysler: Then I can't answer it.

Judge: Come on, Mr Lovelace! I think you are still being given the run-around here. You can do better than that. At least, for the sake of the English bar, I hope you can.

Counsel: Yes, m'lud. Now, Mr Chrysler, perhaps you will describe what reason you had to steal 40,000 coat hangers?

Chrysler: Is that a question?

Counsel: Yes.

Chrysler: It doesn't sound like one. It sounds like a proposition which doesn't believe in itself. You know – "Perhaps I will describe the reason I had to steal 40,000 coat hangers... Perhaps I won't... Perhaps I'll sing a little song instead..."

Judge: In fairness to Mr Lovelace, Mr Chrysler, I should remind you that barristers have an innate reluctance to frame a question as a question. Where you and I would say, "Where were you on Tuesday?", they are more likely to say, "Perhaps you could now inform the court of your precise whereabouts on the day after that Monday?". It isn't, strictly, a question, and it is not graceful English but you must pretend that it is a question and then answer it, otherwise we will be here for ever. Do you understand?

Chrysler: Yes, m'lud.

Judge: Carry on, Mr Lovelace.

Counsel: Mr Chrysler, why did you steal 40,000 hotel coat hangers, knowing as you must have that hotel coat hangers are designed to be useless outside hotel wardrobes?

Chrysler: Because I build and sell wardrobes which are specially designed to take nothing but hotel coat hangers.

We didn't bring pillows and mats to sleep on because we assumed that the campsite was going to provide those - all they provided was a sleeping bag and a tent. It was also a lot colder than Italy, which we weren't expecting, either.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed myself a lot... it was just a lot less comfy than what I'm accustomed to when I'm camping. I guess I would be sure next time to pack warmer gear and bring a pillow.

...and to those that still think this is all about oil you are probably right....play any RTS and you will quickly discover that whoever controls the most resources controls all.  This is no game and you cannot hit reset or rage quit if your losing. Believe it or not there is oil money funding terrorism.

Call me crazy, misinformed or whatever but shit got real long before 9/11 and America needs to wake the fuck up. We are a over sensitive pansified version of what we used to be.  You want to end terrorism? That ain't gonna happen.  But you can let them know that they cannot hide behind religion if they plan on doing harm to Americans or our interests.  Our enemies need to know that if you attack us all bets are off. Fuck these politically correct panties.

The problem really is that terrorists aren't traditional nation states, so it's harder to put a one-size-fits-all label on the bad guy. Your next door neighbor could be browsing al qaeda recruiting sites and making youtube videos about how we're all infidels who will burn for eternity. That same person could be a 15 year old pasty white kid who goes to the same church as you.

It is scary. In addition to bullets and uav strikes, we really need a unified front on the American way of life. That really starts with getting our import/export ratio back to healthy ratios, which really means innovation and research to make things people want to buy and personal accountability on behalf our every eligible voter as an example to the rest of the world that Democracy can work if people rise to the occasion.

It was Sigourney Weaver. I did a double take, and then, realizing I didn´t have my camera with me, RAN up five flights of stairs to get my camera. She was gone by the time I got back.

I want Anna Paquin to stub a cigarette on my chest. Just once, before I die. Her husband looks like an asshole. He obviously doesn't love her the way I do. I'll bet he smacks her around even though I'm sure she's a goddess in bed.

From thier site: http://www.seafoamsales.com/motor-treatment.html
Quote
SEA FOAM Motor Treatment is a 100% pure petroleum product that safely and effectively cleans internal fuel and oil system components, helping your gasoline or diesel engine run cleaner and more efficiently.  SEA FOAM is an EPA-registered product, and will not harm engine components, seals, gaskets, catalytic converters or oxygen sensors.

SEA FOAM liquefies gum and varnish deposits or internal engine contaminents, removing carbon deposits, freeing sticky valve lifters and rings curing rough idle, pinging and hesitation problems.  By using SEA FOAM to eliminate varnish and carbon buildup, mechanics can more accurately diagnose mechanical problems that may exist.  That is why Sea Foam has been so popular with professional mechanics for over 65 years.

As a fuel system additive, Sea Foam will clean fuel injectors, clean carbon, gum and varnish deposits, add lubricity to fuel, stabilize fuel for 2 years and control moisture.

As an oil system additive, Sea Foam controls moisture, gum, varnish and residue deposits.


Cliff notes: It cleans carbon, varnish, and oil deposits from all of your cars systems. It also lubricates engine components. Plus since it is %100 petroleum based, it can be poured directly into your oil system.
It can help pre-ignition knock, rough idling and in many situations - MPG.
This stuff did wonders for my SRT.

-1 can in a full gas tank
This will clean your fuel system from lines to injectors.

-Half a can into a vacuum line directly into your engine through a vacuum line, reattach line and turn off car, wait at least 10 minutes, start car in well ventilated area and run aggressively for 5 or so minutes. (video)
Cleans whole ventilation system from intake (depending what vacuum line you use) to cat.

-Half a can directly into your oil.
Do this just before an oil change - you should only drive about 50 miles with this, as your oil will become VERY dirty.
First time I did this on my SRT I drove about 50 miles and my oil looked like coffee.

-If I happen to have the intake off I'll use the spray to clean the throttle body and into the intake manifold.

All the smoke is the crap that had been building up inside the engine and exhaust.

EDIT: Also, I did it because it looks really cool. :)

I was Rorschach for Halloween last year. What did you use for the mask? I ended up cutting up an undershirt and drawing on it with sharpie (big mistake, sweat makes sharpie bleed a little). And since I only have a top hat, and not a fedora, I had to borrow my buddies fedora. Let's just say, I have a big head. And other than being stupid hot all night, it was pretty awesome being him for Halloween. The only problem is, we had a professional photographer taking pictures (unofficially, she was just taking them for fun), but she never uploaded the pictures so I don't think there is any evidence from that night.

http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/Painters-Head-Spray-Sock.html

Picked up two of those from Home Depot.  Put one on facing forward, then another over it facing backward.  The fabric was absolutely perfect because it allowed the sharpie to bleed ever so slightly, so if you get close enough it looks similar to the movie effect.

For the design, I looked at different rorschach designs online.  The design I chose actually appears in the graphic novel.  Took a piece of paper and folded it in half, and sharpie'd half of the design on one side.  The ink bled through to the other side of the page giving a perfect match on the other side.

I taped the design to a piece of cardboard, slipped the mask over the cardboard and traced through the fabric.

Sorry for the election post, but here in Illinois the concept of possibly being a red state is very odd to me. If you lived here, you'd know "Illinois" is actually pretty right, but Chicago has the population and is always blue.

In 2006 there was a blue belt in sothwest IL - each of those counties seem to be pushing red for both the senate and governor positions - but I'm still not %100 sure it cane overcome the Chicago machine. 1 Million votes in Cook county have already been counted.

{random election post}
wow... Brady is winning in every county of IL so far except big Chicago three (Will, Cook, Kane) and Alexander - yet Quinn is still on top so far. Damn you Chicago.

EDIT{9:06fa}: Will and Kane with Brady on top now. Still close in Will. So now it's Quinn who is winning two counties, one of them being Chicago, and still Brady trails by 8 points? Wow.

Also for Obama's old seat here in Illinois, Giannoulias is ahead by 4 points, but only holds a lead in 4 counties.

So I'm considering starting a business. I'm starting to do some research now and it's my plan for 2011. While I've had a lot of business ideas in the past, I've taken a liking to photography and wouldn't have a large amount of overhead setting up a photography business. I'm leaning LLC to protect assets and make it easier for loans.  Anyone here have much experience with something like this?

Two pieces of advice.

1) Use a reputable company to help you incorporate (not one of the one's you hear on the radio).

and

2) Save every receipt for everything you do for the first year (whether or not it's photography related) and when tax time comes look back at them all and determine what you can make a "business" expense. BTW your days of EZ-filing your taxes are over (but that's a good thing because you'll always get more back when you itemize.)

New to this, so don't laugh but...

What's the benefit of going through a company vs. on your own with perhaps legal advice from my lawyer? I guess I've been aware there are companies to help incorporate, but I've always gotten the impression setting up an LLC is actually quite an easy process.
Title: randomness
Post by: Ash on November 23, 2010, 02:18:44 pm
you could spend the next month reading about all the logistics and still not know everything there is to know about incorporating.  The whole point in starting a LLC is to remove your personal materials from possible liability if something goes wrong with your business (say someone sues you because somehow a picture you took of them appeared somewhere without their consent).  You could definitely do it yourself but when it comes to something as important as your livelihood why take the unnecessary risk.

This is just advice and you should do whatever you feel you should do.

As I understand it, becoming an LLC is the most beneficial for a single person. I have several friends here in LA who have incorporated themselves for tax purposes and liability. Compu based home business owners, singers, writers, photographers, artists, etc. As far as the taxing situation goes they all tell me that and LLC absolutely HAS to have a tax guy. Not just a regular lawyer but someone dedicated solely simply because of the extra attention you will recieve from the IRS, etc.

But as far as it being a good idea, I don't know of anyone who has gone that route and regretted it.

Fuse. Use the best lawyer you can afford (or accountant;they are cheaper) to incorporate your business into an llc. Don't try to do it yourself you will have no one to sue when things go wrong and might miss something.

True, but if we filed separately the net total owed went up to $800. Now I could have just told her to pay for her own taxes, but that's not the thing a wife wants to hear.

Last year similar thing happened, except we both owed,  it was about $4500 cheaper to file jointly rather than separately. I believe an ad campaign I've saw a couple years ago was "Marriage 'Works'" to tout the financial benefits of getting married.

I am CEO (and obviously a shareholder) in a software startup with 3 other people that I incorporated just out of college. I read a lot on the subject of incorparation before hand and I paid a couple of dollars for a nice custom designed 'Articles of Incorporation' and 'Bylaws', and I bought a decent corporate kit (from a Utah company!) with stock certificates, ledgers, and a seal kit.

Honestly, I didn't hire a lawyer because; a) I am somewhat protected by my University since our software was designed in undergrad engineering courses and we have a licensing agreement (for the concept) with the school and they provide some legal services; b) It is a low risk company, everything is well documented, and until our first upcoming major transaction we are dealing with literally no money. When I have some funds to maneuver with I will dedicate some to have a lawyer check over our documents.

But I think the key is to document and save absolutely everything. Oh, and of course not to forget about the IRS.

Aye, that is why I left one of my previous jobs. I discovered that the owner had not paid any federal taxes for the business (i.e. payroll tax) since it's founding or state taxes after the first year (he did pay the initial MD business licensing fee :-P). I don't think it would have been a problem as the company was making money, but the owner told me he had no intention of ever paying taxes again (and was taking all of that company's earnings to cover his real estate losses). I reported him to the IRS, they have a handy form on their website. I spoke with one of the other employees that stuck around, they're still open for business albeit illegally and nobody is getting paid in accordance with state laws. Gotta love American business!

So, I got this e-mail from my Mom at about 4pm my time. I was about to get started writing an essay for my history class. The first line starts out like this:

Quote
"Hi! just a heads up I am in the hospital with a blood clot in my left clavicle."


Needless to say, I freaked out. I read through the rest of the e-mail for more details which didn't really make me feel much better, even though she told me not to be worried. I was just freaked out a little because she's probably not going to get out until Wednesday. I had an e-mail conversation with her and it kind of made me feel better. It was bad, though, because they don't allow Skype at the hospital that she's at, and I really wanted to talk with her through something other than e-mail. Eventually, I just decided to put some money on my Skype account so that I could call her from my computer. She had terrible cell phone reception, and the call kept dropping every three minutes or so. But, I got to talk to her and it made me feel better.

Overall, it's just shitty that I have to be all the way on the other side of the world while this is happening. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if I were home. I really, really can't wait to be home right now, now more than ever.

Secondly, anyone seen this wikileak? http://www.collateralmurder.com/ << warning: possibly NSFW and graphic!

I watched all the videos and have mixed feelings. Yes it's bloody horrible that civvies were killed, but I even thought they were armed (until told otherwise) - plus it's war. What did annoy me was when they opened fire on the truck that wastrying to help the guy. He had been his by a 30mm round - survival is slim! Also, you can plainly see that they're wearing tunics/scrubs which is bordering on War Crimes.

Also, I felt truly horrified when I was listening to the Soldier's experiences in Iraq and how he was told to man up.

Furthermore, got told recently that I have a Royal Marine Commando scholarship waiting for me if I wish to train as a medic. On the downside I have to give 8 years of servitude. Exciting prospect/avenue of life but I really couldn't hack being in the military for 8 years (10 with extra training).

The "Kollector's Edition" of the new Mortal Kombat will be the first time I've ever purchased a game's collector's edition.

So many memories of weekends spent at the local comic book shop, reading comics, buying/trading pogs (remember pogs?!), and dumping quarters into MK 1, 2, and 3.  Perfecting combos and mastering every fatality.  

I remember the days before the internet, even before game guides, and you had to know somebody who's older brother knew somebody who somehow knew every cheat code.  We kept notebooks and printouts of them all.  To this day, I still prefer to write codes and commands down by hand.  I keep a wooden box filled with Moleskine notebooks just for this purpose.

After the series went 3D, it seemed like every new game was an excuse for the developers to take the series less seriously.  Then when MK vs. DCU came out, the first MK to downgrade from Mature to a Teen rating, I was sure that it would signal the death of the franchise.

But I'm glad to see I was wrong, and that this new MK is returning to what made the game great.  Cannot fucking wait.

+1 Visual Eye Candy (Cinematography, Effects - Absolutely Gorgeous)
+1 Visual Eye Candy (Olivia Wilde)
+1 Musical Score (Daft Punk did an exceptional job)

-1 CG Jeff Bridges (works in a couple scenes, but mostly fails)
-1 Hippie Jeff Bridges (it's fun in the 1982 when he's 33, not as fun in 2010 when he's 61)

/0 As much as I normally dislike young actors rehashing a classic series (i.e. Star Trek), the acting in this movie was fine for the type of movie it is and the vibe of the film was very similar in feeling to the first Tron movie.
/0 Storyline slightly less intriguing as the first Tron movie and but is slightly more ambitious.
/0 Open ended questions hinting at third movie (no spoilers, but they're obvious)

I would give this movie a solid 3 out of 4 stars. It has the makings of a great movie but can't quite pull all the elements together.

The Tron story was lacking for me.

But I went for the visual eye candy (finding Olivia Wilde her hottest with the short haircut for some reason) and other visual treats.  Plus the music and action was spot on.

Might have wanted to see more Light Cycles though.

Possible spoilers:

I would love to know how and when the grid was transferred from Encoms systems to Flynn's. Flynn obviously knew he could destroy the system as he did in the end - so why not do that in the many cycles he was there to save the worlds. What was the expectation CLU had after he would have showed up in the real. Popping an army into Flynn's arcade would be messy, and fairly obviously innefective. (National gaurd would be all over that shit in a minute) I would have loved a better explanation of the ISOs - which I guess is somewhat explained in the game - but I also hear the game sucks, so won't bother playing it. What's the deal with Tron? His original purpose was to oversee control of programs - originally the MCP: was this not applicable to CLU? How was he altered to help Flynn near the end? (What happens to him next is the big question for the next one) Where is Yori? What happened to Bit? (A question I had for the second half of the original Tron as well)

Highlight below for plothole/spoiler:

##################
After Quorra rescues Sam from the lightcycle game, she drives through the barrier to take Sam to Flynn.  On the way to Flynn's penthouse, she tells Sam that they're safe because CLU's vehicles can't go off-grid.

Later on, we see CLU and his soldiers FLYING to Flynn's penthouse.

So it took CLU 20 years, or several million "cycles", to find Flynn's penthouse, which resides in the highest mountain overlooking the entire grid, and has a bright white light emitting from its only window in the pitch black skyline.

Before all that, Alan stops by Sam's live-in storage trailer.  He explains that he got a page from Flynn's office at the arcade, knowing that the number had been disconnected for the past two decades.  Alan helped Flynn build the grid 20+ years ago before Flynn disappeared, so it's not like he's oblivious to what's hidden in the arcade.  Now he receives this mysterious page from his presumed-dead friend and doesn't immediately run to the arcade.  Instead he sends Flynn's son, because nobody wants to see a movie about Alan Bradley.  

When Sam finally makes it back to the real world, he finds Alan waiting for him in the arcade.  Alan doesn't ask any questions about Flynn, the mysterious page, or where Sam has been for the past eight hours.  He just smirks as if this whole thing was his plan all along to get Sam to finally take control of ENCOM.
##################

The other plothole I didn't understand was why didn't I have a group sex scene with multiple Olivia Wildes?  When I first heard Olivia Wilde would be in the TRON sequel, I immediately pictured me in bed with at least five naked Olivia Wildes, all covered in baby oil and ready to please me.  But that never happened in the movie, which totally killed the immersion for me.

So it took CLU 20 years, or several million "cycles", to find Flynn's penthouse, which resides in the highest mountain overlooking the entire grid, and has a bright white light emitting from its only window in the pitch black skyline.

I'll give you this one. My mind when to "You've gotta have power.", CLU couldn't just search the whole area looking for Flynn, because while he could fly to it, the power to search for it wasn't possible.

Before all that, Alan stops by Sam's live-in storage trailer.  He explains that he got a page from Flynn's office at the arcade, knowing that the number had been disconnected for the past two decades.  Alan helped Flynn build the grid 20+ years ago before Flynn disappeared, so it's not like he's oblivious to what's hidden in the arcade.  Now he receives this mysterious page from his presumed-dead friend and doesn't immediately run to the arcade.  Instead he sends Flynn's son, because nobody wants to see a movie about Alan Bradley.  

I don't every remember the movie saying that Alan worked on the grid, I think Flynn was keeping it pretty secret. Alan had the night to go to the arcade, nothing really stopped him from going there on the first night, but he found nothing, but felt that he should at least tell Sam.

When Sam finally makes it back to the real world, he finds Alan waiting for him in the arcade.  Alan doesn't ask any questions about Flynn, the mysterious page, or where Sam has been for the past eight hours.  He just smirks as if this whole thing was his plan all along to get Sam to finally take control of ENCOM.

No clue was given about the timeframe for the port transfer to that last scene. I assumed with the page Sam sent, there was at least a few hours. Better question is what did the chip have? Quorra "DNA" or Flynn? (System Restore, oh look, Flynn's back. :P)

##################
1. In a virtual world where literally everything around you is energy, coupled with the fact that CLU had an insanely massive army at his disposal, I still have a hard time believing that it took him so long to find Flynn's not-so-well-hidden apartment.

2. I remember a flashback showing Alan and Flynn working in the grid together, along with CLU and Tron.  The Tron program was created by Alan and shares Alan's likeness in the original Tron movie.  He must have known about the grid.  More to the point, CLU sent the page to Alan, not Sam, hoping to draw him into the grid.

3. Flynn stated that the portal stays open for approximately 8 hours before closing.  He didn't say "8 cycles", so I'm assuming he meant 8 hours in real-world time.  So if the portal opened once Sam arrived on the grid, and closed just after he left, it's safe to say that Sam was gone for about 8 hours.  This is further evidenced by the sunrise shortly after Sam and Quorra leave the arcade.  Sam was obviously gone all night.  Alan doesn't bother to ask what Sam found after spending 8 hours in an abandoned arcade.  He just blindly accepts that Sam suddenly wants to follow in his father's footsteps.

I also have to wonder why Alan held on to the keys to the arcade for 20 years after it closed down.  He tossed the keys to Sam after he told him about the page.  Moreso than that, someone (Alan) was obviously still paying the electric bill on the place, otherwise flipping switches in the circuit box would have done nothing.  This might be some elaborate plot twist to be revealed in perhaps a third movie.  These little things hint that Alan knew full well what he was sending Sam into.

4. The disc must have had Flynn's code, because at the end when CLU thinks he has Flynn's disc, he activates it and sees Quorra's information.  He then rushes back to the platform to steal back Flynn's disc before Sam escapes with it.

I'm pretty sure he said that he and TRON worked on the grid together, along with CLU. In all the flashbacks I saw, it was the three of them. There wasn't Alan. Alan created TRON as a security program in the first movie, and that's why he has Alan's likeness, but he never knew that his creation evolved with Flynn in a grid, at least not that the movie tells us. So Alan wasn't a part of the grid making - Tron was. If Alan was a part of it, it certainly wouldn't make sense that the grid wouldn't be the FIRST place he looked when Flynn went missing.


4. The disc must have had Flynn's code, because at the end when CLU thinks he has Flynn's disc, he activates it and sees Quorra's information.  He then rushes back to the platform to steal back Flynn's disc before Sam escapes with it.

The disc contains all of Flynn's experiences and memories, which potentially means a back up of the brain, if you are thinking of a human. The disc also contained the research Flynn had done on "the others" (I forget what he called them). I imagine it is data on the DNA-looking stuff he was messing with. Whether the research is recorded as his experiences or separate data is unclear. Flynn also theorized that taking Quorra herself through the portal might be enough, since he made a point for Sam to take her.

The next phone I get will most likely be Android based because I use Sprint. My contract isn't up for another six months, though, so this is a cheaper alternative for the time being. I don't have to pay per month to use my iPod touch, unlike a smart phone.

If you can find me something with the same capabilities as an iPod touch with no monthly plans, then I would be very happy to consider using it, but I know that here is very little on the market right now that rivals the iPod touch.

Best Buy and other places sell unlocked Android phones. Just get one running 2.2+, compabitle with the carrier you eventually want to go with, one with expandable mircoSD is a good idea too, I personally added a 32gb card on mine, and turn the cell radio off. You now have a fully capable media unit. Then when it's time to get a new contract you activate the phone you already are using!

I suppose you also want to get a discount when the contract renewal comes around, so you have to figure is the price of (in this case) an iPod Touch + the price of the phone you will eventually pay for greater than just buying the smartphone at full price now. And you can even pull a switch-a-roo and get a new phone cheap or free on the renewal and resell the new or old phone!

I'm disappointed that Sprint WiMAX struggles to achieve 2Mbps download on average and can't even beat 3G upload speeds. But, they do have a good '4G' gimmick running.

Sprint is going to have to open the throttle if they want to keep in the game with Verizon LTE offering 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up. Some pre-release reviewers achieved over 20Mbps on LTE. Note: both WiMAX and LTE can support up to 100Mbps down, but are basically throttled by the carrier.

Perhaps it's your area, but Sprint in the midwest is awesome. I left TMobile because I could never have ANY service here in central IL, as it's kind of farmland outside of the city I'm in, but Sprint's 3G is strong and quick. When visiting family in the far south suburbs of Chicago I still got 8mb 4G.

That's not bad at all. Nearly everything I'd read about Sprint WiMAX says it averages between 2-3 Mbps. The upload speed disappoints though, especially when Sprint marketing boasts flawless voice/video chat.

With Verizon 3G I get: 1159/831 Mbps. I don't know what you get in Sprint 'roaming' areas but there seem to be a lot of them on their map. With Verizon I struggle to roam the country and find areas without 3G and even more so areas with no service at all.

Sprint 3g is usually about 2mb, and that's in my rural area, 3g near chicago is even better.

Video chat is also very dependant on the app you're using. Qik gave my wife and I issues on our 3g, but  fring does a much better job. It's still not seamless, but is useable.

(http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/conti/co_xtrcontactdws_ci2_l.jpg)

If anyone is in the market for new car tires and will be driving in the snow and don't want to or can't get two dedicated seasonal sets (summer+winter), I highly recommend the Continental DWS tires (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DWS).

Dry roads - performance isn't the best I've ever experienced: not as sticky as dedicated summers (experience with brother's Corvette GS and dad's Porsche Cayman), little louder/rougher than the grand touring all seasons.

Wet roads - One of, if not the best wet road tires I've driven on; I have to intentionally try to lose traction to get them to slip.

Snow covered roads - The reason I bought the tires, and the real reason I'm pimping them on our forums. Highest ratings on tirerack of any all season tire.

/Story time
My S80 is FWD with traction control, but as I discovered last winter, just getting out of the parking lot of my apartment was a 20 minute harrowing adventure with my stock tires. Shoveling + kitty litter + floor mats finally got me up the 0.2% grade "hill" of the parking lot. I constantly lost control on the main roads if they hadn't been plowed and salted, I got stuck on a pedestal of snow in the city about 3 times. On my drive to Charlottesville I lost control on the highway and spun into a 6 foot high snow bank and got stuck just turning into my mom's neighborhood - both times requiring a tow truck. Bear in mind these locations are relatively flat, with a few gentle hills.

Flash forward a year, and my brother says his wife's family has rented a couple cabins for a ski vacation. Coincidentally, my stock tires which already have no snow traction, were finally worn down to around 3/32" (yes that's right, all the cool kids have a tread measure tool) after 80,000 miles. So Conti's go on. Word of advice, I highly recommend getting the tires road force balanced, if you drive a lot you will notice the difference (it's equivalent to specs that are about 10-15 times tighter than traditional balancing).

So I went to Davis, WV (Timberline Resort specifically) for vacation after Christmas. Per my usual great timing, I left in the middle of a snow storm, everyone else had gone up a day before any of this hit. Let me tell you a little bit about rural mountain roads in West Virginia, at 10pm-12am in the middle of a snow storm. No lighted roads, sheer rock walls on one side and vast cliffs on the other. 3-4 inches on the road itself in the worst parts, steady 1-2 inches everywhere else - no way to see edge markings let alone lane markings. Oh and it was windy with 30-40mph gusts, blowing snow sideways for a fun treat of temporary white outs. I can count on one hand the number of plows I saw between DC and Davis, and most of that was on 66, all of which were just dumping sand/salt and not yet plowing.

Now here is the testament to these tires. Not once did I lose control of the car and the entire trip the traction control indicator light only went on about six times. Granted I did keep it about 30-35mph most of the trip, but still, the fact that I could climb (and descend) 3000 feet on curvy snow covered roads in a 2wd sedan, gave me immense confidence in my snow driving capabilities. Further, while there, the rental cars people drove up before the snow were now stuck, so I got to show off how I could push through 6-8 inches of snow in the driveways where the cabins were located when we all went out to a local brewery (Mountain State Brewing Co.) or had to make grocery runs. Luckily by the next day the snow on the roads was plowed/compressed down so it was like a road of snow on top of the original pavement/gravel, had never seen that done before.

/end Story time

This was a far cry from the experience I had getting around last winter. I feel confident in saying these truly are ALL-season tires, and damn good ones at that.

Oh yeah, the price was a very nice surprise. I punctured the sidewall of one of the stock Michelin's (Pilot HX MXM4) about a month after I got the car and the cost to replace it was $250 ($225 for the tire itself). I picked these up for $121 a piece, and some tire places like mine will price match Tirerack so you don't have to pay the shipping.

Yeah, you don't have much to lose. Amazon is very good about returns if it's not the product they advertised. And, it's out of stock meaning it's very likely Target will correct the problem and just cancel all the orders. But, it was a good try anyway.

You won't be getting PS3s.

It was a mislabel on Target's part, and only showed up on Amazon because Target uses Amazon Marketplace.  So anyone who ordered from Amazon, was ordering from Target through Amazon.

Both Target and Amazon reserve the right to cancel orders for situations like these.

I usually make it a point to not watch fan-made "lightsaber duel" videos because it has been done to death.  But this one opens with a narration that creates an emotional purpose to the fight, which every other video seems to lack.  

The choreography is ok and the editing isn't the best, but the music and sound effects are awesome.  In fact, you should probably just close your eyes and listen.

I'm thinking we should do another FA coin.  Another group (http://fl501st.com) I'm becoming a part of just got coins done by http://www.lapelpinsrus.com/challengecoins.html and they came out really nice and were pretty cheap.  You can get pretty intricate with designs and colors and such.

As an example, this is what they did: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/SlipknotZombie/8f7937d9.jpg

The coins look awesome in person.  They did a run of 100 1.5" coins, and they ended up being $6.75 each.  That included shipping and PayPal fees, since they collected the money first before ordering.

They were having bad luck with technicians.  They were sending technicians out who didn't know what they were doing.  Not to me personally, but to other M11x owners who were having hinge issues.

They are also installing new, revised hinges/parts and they're doing all these changes at the Depot in Texas.

I'm willing to give it a shot to see if any of the old bugs/exploits have been fixed.  I believe they're utilizing Punk Buster to cut down on aim botting.

I liked the concept, and loved the character creator.  My opinion tanked when the pricing system was announced.  My only real gripe about gameplay was that the maps felt increasingly cramped the longer you played in them.

As a F2P, I could probably be convinced to pick it up again.  Though I can't see myself playing it seriously if FA is not invested in it.

Post by: Anamodiel on January 27, 2011, 07:14:45 pm
There was something about the game that I just didn't like. It was the mechanics. Whoever had the better gun had the upper hand, and it was incredibly hard to kill someone with a much better gun than you that was modded to high hell. It's hard to win a mission when the people are 15 levels above you. I know the game supposedly matches you up with people of the same skill level, but most of the time when I was playing in the Beta not enough people were online, so I would end up going up against someone who had played the game much more than I did who had a much better weapon than I did.

I don't see myself playing this because I have a real shooter, Battlefield, that is much more highly polished and doesn't feel like a cheap knock-off of GTA. Cool, I can drive a car. But, wait, there's so much lag between me and the server that my turn doesn't register for almost a second. Cool, I can create a sweet looking character... that I'll rarely see the face of. Cool, I can participate in San Paro's crime and dynamically effect things around me... for no purpose whatsoever.

The game was boring in the first Beta. There was no story and the missions were too stale to hold my interest. I highly doubt it'll be much more fun I'd rather just own people in Battlefield.
Title: randomness
Post by: Tbone on January 27, 2011, 08:22:40 pm
The lack of balance came from the limited server numbers. In other FPSs, they matchmake you to everyone connected to the servers - thousands and thousands of people. In APB, each instance could only hold 100 people, and half of those you can't matchmake with b/c they are also a cop/robber. So with only 50 people max to matchmake with, chances are you were going to end up in an unfair game.

As will all guitar chords, there are many ways to play them - and many variations of them as shown in this chart:

Below are a couple variations of the F chord I usually use. Referring to the chart the first is "F..." while the second two are two variations of "F."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so excited!!!

Lits, I'm in San Diego from Thursday evening-Monday morning (3rd-7th). I couldn't book anything to specifically come see you because I found a great deal (trip is costing me 477 dollars total, which is insane, considering I'm flying clear across the country), but I will pay for your gas money to come down and see me. We can go on a bike tour or something weird like that, or just sit on the beach for a day and drink.

My girls and I took a drive today and happened upon a beautiful 19th century mansion and carriage house. We love old architecture like this, and it really stands out in a place like Salt Lake. It's even tucked away in the industrial side of town.

(http://i.imgur.com/qv8Ell.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/qv8El.jpg)

We get out of the car to take a better look. I look up near the roof, and I see this:

(http://i.imgur.com/C6FfOl.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/C6FfO.jpg)

A big "FA" insignia. I immediately start looking for any "For Sale" signs in the yard. Maybe I could get it cheap, considering it's next to the freeway and surrounded by factories.

Apparently it's a historical building, owned by the state. Looking in the windows, the place was completely empty. A layer of grey dust covered every flat surface. A plaque near the front door informed us that it was built for Albert Fisher, "AF", who founded the local "Fisher Brewery" which was eventually sold to Anheiser-Busch in the 1940's.

So unfortunately, this remains the "AF Mansion" and will not be the "FA Mansion" any time soon. But imagine the parties we could have in there.

SWTOR needs to come out already, I've had an MMO sub for 10 years, I'm an MMO guy, but now I find myself completely lacking with anything to play and Rift looks like the most generic piece of garbage an MMO can be.

I still think we should try Eve Online.  It meshes well with the level or organization we are able to achieve when we have something to focus on.


Agreed.  It's not F2P, but the game is definitely designed for our type of play.

With the recent changes to skill level progression it's quicker than ever to get to a point where you're viable in pvp.

I usually prefer to solo in my mmos, but that can get boring in EVE. If fa went there I'd be down for . We already have an fa corp.

Unfortunately, that's not really the "hold over until tor"type game.

Post by: Phienyx on March 05, 2011, 03:14:23 pm
I am not implying that we should not participate in SWTOR. The reality is that it does not sound like there will be alot of longevity or variety to the "MMO" part of the game.   Even the "group" stuff seems like it is largely PvE.  I haven't really heard anything interesting regarding PvP or the purpose it will serve other than being PvP for the sake of PvP with some nebulus point system that has no bearing on the "universe" in which it exists. Maybe its because I have not read enough about the game and this is one of a few times I hope I am very wrong.

Do I want to play SWTOR with FA?  Hell YES! But I have always thought that Eve Online would best serve our overall potential as a serious gaming group.

Eve has the potential to be "fairly" safe or exceedingly dangerous.  It all depends on how much danger you want and what you're willing to risk. The wars, politics, conflicts, conquering of territory, economy are all controlled by human players.  There are no class limits.  You can train the skills you want to train for any combination of play style or focus on one main career.  And when I say career, you can literally have on in Eve Online.

Would it require time?  Yes, but I think many of us almost "lived" in MxO.  Would our senior members start out as powerhouses?  No, but is that what really matters?

I will always follow FA to whatever game is our "main" game happens to be (within reason), but Eve Online will always, in my opinion, be the game for us.

P.S. fully realized avatars are on the way in Eve Online.

Utah is actually a surprisingly liberal state. It may be run by mormons, but it is not run by the church.

The last time I can remember any piece of art being "banned" was when Brokeback Mountain came out. A very rich mormon named Larry Miller banned the film from all of the theaters that he owned... which amounts to exactly five throughout the entire state. His decision was met by a huge backlash, especially from his investors.

So one mormon was able to keep one movie from being played in five of his own theaters. Every other theater was very glad to take the money that Miller was passing up on.

The majority of mormons around here practice "live and let live". We have a few crazies, but they only come out of their holes once a year for Pride Day.  I'm sure "The Book of Mormon" will roll through here eventually and it will do very well.

I'm a completely functional black out drunk. I always end up in the bed I was planning on sleeping in, with my sweats on, contacts out, teeth brushed, and a glass of water next to my bed. If it's a really bad night, I'll have some liquor next to my bed in the cup instead of the water. Those are the really bad mornings because I'll end up drinking it thinking its water... St. Patrick's Day was the WORST. Blacked out by 1:30pm, walked a mile and a half from my friend's house to McDonald's to get a hamburger and a Shamrock Shake, and then another 2 miles back to my apartment. I didn't know that I did that until I checked my online bank statement the next day.

I really want it to be Thursday again. I can't believe it's only Monday. :(

Black outs are never good. I tend to try (sometimes pretty aggresively) and make out (or worse) with the nearest man-person. And then I have to hear about shame the the next day, lol.

It's been three weeks in my new position and I seriously love my job. It's wierd, I haven't felt this good in a long time. A few days ago involved comparison tests against different versions of Android for new functionality on our main app. Yesterday involved troubleshooting and testing items on our site through iPad. Today was meetings on it.
I had to laught the other day when I came home, put down my Windows machine, loaded up my Mac machine, and proceeded to empty my pockets of the 5 phones I had on me.

It's what I would want to do if I WASN'T working.

Alright, my subconscious must be checked out already because I've had two dreams in the past week where I was at a tropical location on vacation: Costa Rica and San Diego. My mom was in Costa Rica for 10 days on vacation at our friend's hotel recently, so that doesn't help my situation.

It also doesn't help that it SNOWED yesterday and that the weather is still crummy. Summer needs to come now.

I would advise against that.  Once she recognizes you she'll most likely be embarrassed.  Unless you guys had a good relationship in school, asking for a free dance would be creepy at worst and unprofessional at best.

If you want a dance, you'd best be willing to pay for it.

as an attender of quite a few shoe shows I would have to agree.. pay and tip if you like what you see.. she is more likely to be a LOT friendlier if you A) dont come across creepy
B) show that you have no problem tipping for good "service"

they are much more likely to offer suggestions to other girls that catch your eye as well.. at least thats how its done here down in the south states :)

Good news:
-The government owes me $1,200! Can you say FRONT ROW AT BRITNEY SPEARS?! Oh, and I'll also save the rest of the money, don't worry. And I'll probably spend some of that on clothes for my internship this summer. I need to look professional...
-Met with the people from my internship on Tuesday and got this sweet hat

Bad News:
-Unless my advisor can work something out for me and get me some special dispensation, I won't be able to graduate next semester, even though I was on track to graduate just fine. I can't take my Cost and Managerial Accounting class because I haven't taken a second Statistics class. I was originally supposed to take it this semester, but there was a time conflict between that Statistics class and my Tax Accounting class, and I just figured I could take it next semester. I never realized that that Statistics class was a prerequisite to this class. I tried to send in an override, saying that I can't take a MKT 317 this summer because I have an internship, and that I'm supposed to be graduating at the end of the Fall, and that I studied abroad last semester so I wasn't able to take that Statistics class last semester, and that I was formerly in the Honors College a year ago from this point when I was planning my schedule. My membership in the Honors College meant that I didn't have to worry about prerequisites in classes, and that if I had stayed in the Honors College, I wouldn't be in this position right now. Most likely I will end up dual-enrolling in the Masters program here and take that Managerial Accounting class while I'm in the Masters program. Just sucks because I'll probably have to take a summer class or two...

The weather was gorgeous, the food was great. My eldest, normally perfect company, was playing up a little and complaining of a headache..... come here my son... there I was giving my boy a big cuddle and trying to see if he wanted any ice cream.

No thank you Daddy.

Well I never did, a first time for everything.......

I lived down in San Clemente for a time, close to LA.  For renting a bedroom out of a 3 bedroom apartment and splitting it with 2 other guys, I was paying 500 a month and counting myself damn lucky.  I could easily believe 3k for renting an apartment, particularly if it's IN LA proper and even remotely in a good location.

On a side note, Lits, if you can find a job for a physics graduate down there, I'd be happy to split rent :-D

damn. I don't make enough to justify that - 3k a month for a mortage would buy a mansion on a 2 acre plot where I live. California in general is a messed up place economically anyways - beach living just makes it insanly worse.

Bad News:
-Unless my advisor can work something out for me and get me some special dispensation, I won't be able to graduate next semester, even though I was on track to graduate just fine. I can't take my Cost and Managerial Accounting class because I haven't taken a second Statistics class. I was originally supposed to take it this semester, but there was a time conflict between that Statistics class and my Tax Accounting class, and I just figured I could take it next semester. I never realized that that Statistics class was a prerequisite to this class. I tried to send in an override, saying that I can't take a MKT 317 this summer because I have an internship, and that I'm supposed to be graduating at the end of the Fall, and that I studied abroad last semester so I wasn't able to take that Statistics class last semester, and that I was formerly in the Honors College a year ago from this point when I was planning my schedule. My membership in the Honors College meant that I didn't have to worry about prerequisites in classes, and that if I had stayed in the Honors College, I wouldn't be in this position right now. Most likely I will end up dual-enrolling in the Masters program here and take that Managerial Accounting class while I'm in the Masters program. Just sucks because I'll probably have to take a summer class or two...


Ugh. To make matters even worse, the MSU Masters in Accounting program won't accept any higher level accounting class if you get less than a 3.0. They literally won't even consider your application if you got a 2.5 in a single Accounting class, no matter your average. I'm hovering between a 2.5 and a 3.0 right now in my ACC 301 class (the class from hell... when the fuck am I ever going to personally have to account for a lease, a pension, or any other of that random bullshit?!). I went to talk to my Professor earlier this week, and he said that I need about an 85-90% on the final to get a 3.0 in the class. While certainly manageable if I put a lot of effort into my studying, the great Michigan State University won't allow you to retake a class if you get a 2.5 in it. However, if you get a 2.0, you're allowed to retake a class. Basically, if I study my ass of for two weeks and end up with a 79% on the final, I'll end up with a 2.5 in the class, unable to retake the class to boost my GPA in the class AND unable to get into the Michigan State Accounting graduate program. He told me it's better to not risk being unable to retake the class and intentionally fail the class. I told him that this was the first Accounting class that I was seriously having a hard time with (my GPA is 3.61/4). He told me that, unlike my prior Accounting classes, this class involves learning, while the others required more memorization. EXCUSE ME!? DID YOU JUST INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE?

Currently, because I was on track to graduate, barring the minor mis-step mentioned above, I was planning on applying to graduate school. Well, you can't do that if you have a 2.0 on your transcript. So grad school is delayed a semester.

That entire fucking class came down to one exam. I bombed on one exam because I had two other exams that week, including an exam in my Tax class. (I know, I know, time management, etc. etc. I'm just venting) The second exam I did 2 points below the average, so if I had just done average on the first one, I would have been fine.

Whoever says that one exam doesn't affect the rest of your life is severely and utterly mistaken. The only silver lining is that I could probably/possibly get a second Tax internship next Winter at KPMG. The cool thing about that would be that I could get a lot of overtime (as its during Tax season) and I would be done by the first week of March, just in time for my birthday. I could then stay in East Lansing for March and April and have fun with my roommates (while studying for the CPA exam) and start graduate school in the Summer or Fall.

If things work out that way, it would be fine. I just hate when things don't work out how you'd like them to.
Title: randomness
Post by: Keeloth on April 21, 2011, 12:34:22 pm
When is that exam?  Are you going to let it pass so you can retake the class?  Either way, I'm sorry to hear about that dilemma, it really is ridiculous that they won't just let you retake it regardless of grade.  

I got screwed by my own college, if not QUITE as badly.  I took AP Calculus in high school and did ok on the AP test, so I was able to pass out of some college Calc.  This was the quarter system, so you have fall, winter, and spring quarters.  Normally for a physics major, you take calc I-III for that first year, but my freshman advisor told me I had passed out of taking all of those.  Which makes sense, because all of that covered exactly what my high school Calc class as covered, as it was a BC Calc class.  Flash forward to spring break, senior year.  THis is weeks before Spring quarter, my last quarter before I graduate.  I get a call from the advising office saying they had looked at my graduation application, and noticed that I was missing two classes for my major...heart pounding, I ask what.  Calc II and Calc III.  But I passed out of those!  Nope, as it turns out.  I just passed out of Calc I.  Keep in mind, by this time I had taken Calc IV and Calc V  (not the official designation, but definitely a continuation of the Calc series).  I had been using Fourier series and other Calc III shit in my physics classes for fucking AGES.  Now they're telling me I won't graduate because my freshman adviser screwed up?!

Fortunately, my professor was willing to waive the classes as being necessary for my major, mainly because as I said before, I had been using this stuff for ages, he knew I knew it.  For my math minor, however...well, let's say that professor had a reputation as a hardass (got the lowest grades in my college career (C+s) in two of his classes, so I imagine that didn't help).  He was softening up as he got older, but he was still reluctant to just waive the requirements for my math minor.  So, I ended up taking exams for both classes, passed with flying colors, and lived happily ever after.  But it still gets me livid, to this day, that I had to go through that shit because of the incompetence of the advising system.

As I mention HERE (http://lostlocalhost.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-1st-2011.html)...

Waldo 1; Osama 0; (But he put up a good fight)

How damn hard was it to catch a 6'5 jihadist carrying around a dialysis machine from cave to cave? /facepalm

Everything has it's pros and cons... America is obsessed with retaliation and retribution - which can be warranted, but it should never be an end goal and should never cause someone to lose sight of the real threat. Osama the man wasn't a threat, it was the ideas he represented and after him is another 200 folks in line for his job.

I have an eye-for-an-eye mentality when it comes to punishment, so I am happy that he has the chance to meet God and be judged - but I am also pretty surprised to see so many people scream and shout as if the war is over and everything can go back to pre 9/11 days. If the goal of the military was to get retribution, it's time to bring our troops home now more than ever. When that happens I will be jumping for joy in the streets.

Also, President Obama had a very nice speech. Probably my favorite, or in the top three. Undoubtedly, it will be his "historical" presidential speech. He briefly discussed the concepts behind the 9/12 project, who the enemy was, why they were the enemy, why we went to war (giving hidden props to Bush in the process), the families of those who lost loved ones on 9/11, and an appropriate-enough description of the intel and process of what happened. He acknowledged that the effort is not over and the fight is not done, and is not against a religion. Best of all? He did not omit "under God" again when quoting the Pledge of Allegiance. For that, we thank you.



Also, yes. It was broin.


Supposedly, this is the first pic of deadOsama. http://pikchur.com/Af0J

I have a new love/hate relationship with Adderall. I studied non-stop for 10 hours (1pm-11pm) on Saturday and 15 hours on Sunday (12pm-3am). And, when I say non-stop, I mean non-stop, as in no snacks or drinks or dinner or any food. I've survived the last two days on two sandwiches from Jimmy Johns and two large Cokes. That is unhealthy to the extreme. My exam was at 7:45am this morning... so I got about 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night on top of everything else. I'm going to take a well-deserved nap, eat a huge lunch, and then head back to the library to study for my Commercial Transactions and Law class tomorrow.

Oh, I Aced the exam, by the way. I don't know if it was the Adderall, but I genuinely enjoy everything there is about Tax Accounting. I didn't think of the studying as a chore like I do for most other classes, but it was actually fun and interesting. Lord Almighty, I sound like a nerd.

Was having a conversation with a friend today about his company conducting Myers-Brigg personality test as part of a team building exercise. FA is like any organization, and I thought it would be neat and possibly beneficial if people posted what their personality types were. You can find a plethora of tests online just by typing in Myers-Briggs, I tried a few and they all spit out the same thing for me, so I assume they're all pulling from generally the same set of questions. I have taken these things for work and the like as far back as high school sports teams, so I would say the results are accurate, at least for my personality type.

Always been given ENTJ as a result.
"ENTJs are among the rarest of types, accounting for about 2–5% of those who are formally tested.[2][3] They tend to be self-driven, motivating, energetic, assertive, confident, and competitive. They generally take a big-picture view and build a long-term strategy. They typically know what they want and may mobilize others to help them attain their goals. ENTJs are often sought out as leaders due to an innate ability to direct groups of people. Unusually influential and organized, they may sometimes judge others by their own tough standards, failing to take personal needs into account"

Fairly accurate.

Satellite blows to be quite honest. Its not good for gaming imho.  Whats wrong with the internet that is in your building?

Now if its like wireless off of a tower locally, Ive had good results with that type. However if its going up to a satellite, you usually incur really bad lag issues.

That's because the signal has to travel to a geostationary satellite a little more than 22,000 miles above the earth, then back down to the ground station, go through the already usual web of routers, networks, etc. to get to the server, then the information gets to do that trip again back to your computer. 500–700 ms from the user to the ISP, or about 1,000–1,400 ms latency for the total Round Trip Time (RTT) back to the user. Also don't forget the speed of light is slower while traveling through the atmosphere.

On an unrelated note, I got back blood test results from an exam I had to do for a life insurance policy. The reason I bring it up is because I am very happy with these results. At my last physical in September, I had some revelations about my health. Without getting too technical, I was 35% over my ideal weight, I had high blood pressure, at risk for gout, high resting heart rate, very high triglyceride levels, below "healthy" levels of HDL (good) cholesterol and high LDL levels and generally at risk for coronary heart disease. Also I was Vitamin D deficient, my testosterone levels were very low (also bad for the heart and my swimmers) and my thyroid panel had abnormal results. I was 27.

As of two weeks ago, only 15% overweight and all vitals and bloodwork is in the normal and healthy range save for a borderline elevated triglyceride count.

Diet & Exercise. Nothing extreme, I cut back a lot on salt and sugar, and I get to the gym on average 3.5 days a week (mixed low/high intensity cardio and occasional 3x12 circuit weights). P90X doesn't seem sustainable to me personally, which is more what I was going for.
___________________________________

West Coast vs East Coast
I feel I'm actually uniquely qualified to address this debate having lived half my life in Califonia
-LA
-San Diego
-San Francisco/Bay Area

and the other half on the eastern seaboard
-boarding school and college in PA
-currently in MD
-was in DC
-9 years in VA-northern and rural
-cumulative summers spent with family in Atlanta

and with lots of vacation time both in west coast locations (not a complete list)
-Monterey/Carmel
-Disney Land
-Portland & Mt. St. Helens
-Tahoe
-Yellowstone

and east coast locales (not a complete list)
-NYC
-Boston
-Portland/Old Orchard Beach Maine
-St. Simon's Georgia
-Disney World
-Cape Hatteras/Nags Head

I'm also going to mention that I've spent a large amount of time in the Midwest since I've been with my wife to tell you all this - The majority of the bat shit crazy people live on the coasts, both of them. I'm pretty sure this is a per capita/population density thing though.

The reason I bring this up though is to point out that it's unfair to judge a place by it's loudmouthed people. All you ever hear about on the news are people who are attention whores, righteous do-gooders, or both.

Also, when you love a place, you learn to glaze over the harsher aspects of it. Like San Francisco, my favorite city, but they have horrible problems with the homeless. I don't focus on that though when I'm trying to sell it as a destination for people.

OK so the winner?
West Coast beats the east coast in weather (except gulf coast parts of Florida) and the Sierra Nevadas beat the Appalachians.

In terms of historic landmarks, cities, national history, etc. East Coast hands down. Day trip around Annapolis has a much cooler nostalgic feeling than a day trip around La Jolla.

Atlantic Coast Florida and SoCal have similar beaches with pretty people, so I'll give that a tie. If you want to argue gulf coast Florida, I'll counter with Hawaii.

If you're a Type A person, East Coast, if you enjoy animal style double-double, West Coast.

Microcenter vs Fry's tie (although now Microcenter has made it out to CA)

Education goes to East Coast because it has more numerous old school institutions, Stanford Campus and Palo Alto though nearly tip the scales in West Coast's favor.

Friendly computer/gamer nerd environment handily goes to the west coast. Seattle/Redmond area, Silicon Valley, San Diego.

Sports teams it's hard to say unless you narrow down the sport, even then Gretzky played for both LA and NY before retiring (lets just ignore the Canadian and St. Louis years). I'll say tie on this one because sports team allegiances transcend location (I will always be a 49ers fan). Oh and fuck the Yankees.

Governance, goes to the east coast. Say what you will about DC politics, California has a way more screwed up approach to fixing problems.

There are more categories but I'll stop there and make a conclusion. I like the old world charm of the east coast, but my heart still longs for a return to west coast.

Finally bit the bullet and checked myfico.com for an estimated credit score today (yes I was losing sleep). Found out my score was in the 740-770 range (depending on which bureau). I only bring it up because I was nervous about my shoddy credit history -- I had a couple late payments in 2006 and then for years I kept my cards maxed or near maxed out until last September when I finally paid them all off. With my wife in the 780+ category I now feel a whole hell of a lot better about house buying in the next year or two. Now I just need to wait another 2.5 years for those two late payments in 2006 to go away.

I'm sure most have you have seen this by now, it's damn old.  But no less hilarious for all that!

First, there was the Star Wars Kid.  Some poor shmuck who returned the wrong VHS to the video store and became efamous for his...practice...to become the next Darth Maul.

The original, unedited video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU

Needless to say, this inspired a SLEW of parodies and edits, not the least of which was the Matrix version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRiJVMASwjI

However, he WAS the Star Wars kid, and thus Star Wars tended to be the majority of the parodies, leading to such gems as Episode III: Drunken Jedi Master (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GJOVPjhXMY) and
The NEW Clone Wars (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lIDRGOHI1E&playnext=1&list=PLC806F57D81034107).

All in all, I thought it worth sharing with anyone who may have missed it the first time around. :)

Just noticed the time stamp for your post (02:46 AM UTC -08:00). That's getting off work early? Perhaps some of our members across the pond that have free time during their daytime hours could hop on TS more (though I don't know how many of them would be drinking at that hour).

I tried the video conferencing today and it works very well. I'd like to see how it handles with 3+ people.

Do as much research on the company as you possibly can. Think of at least 15 questions to ask in the interview and write them down. Think of good answers to common behavioral interview questions and rehearse them ahead of time. Most bigger name companies even have a recruiting page and an interview tips page. Peruse over those. It's such a good feeling going into that interview with all of this stuff in your back pocket. It makes for a much more relaxed and comfortable interview!

Also, BE relaxed and honest. Nerves will kill your shot pretty quickly if you look like you can't handle stress.
Remember, you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.

In my interview for the company I work for now I was asked how I feel about certain older technologies. I replied "I feel good about a paycheck. If you're willing to teach me the basics, I can learn and excel at anything you throw at me." I sometimes wonder if that made him doubt hiring me, or if that's the line that pushed me over the edge into the job.

I don't know what his interview situation will be like, but I had four half hour interviews back to back to back to back. I ended up not having enough questions, and even asked some of the same ones two or three times. I guess what I was personally trying to get at is that it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.

I personally hate multiple interviews. I would much rather have a panel interview and be done with it (save for an hr/screening chat). I will say also, be aware of the company culture so you don't dress better than your interviewer (within reason). When I worked at an engineering/manufacturing company the head of my department (one of the hiring managers as well) would make fun of the kids who wore nice suits when they came in for their interview. That said, if you're not sure, where a suit/dress combo that can still look good if you remove the jacket and/or tie.

I had been getting worked up over this before, but I got some similar advice, and went for a suit. Turns out I was a bit overdressed, so off came the jacket, tie and monocle.

I had prepared a handful of questions, and done the research, but the chance for either didn't come up. Or I might have missed the opportunity. The nerves almost did get me, and I can get shaken up pretty bad (as those of you who attended my interview might remember, heh). Managed to get my cool head on, and when it did start, I think it went pretty well. Till I let out that my second choice university was 120miles away. "So....I take it if you go to that uni, you'd have to leave us?" Monkey balls.

The rule I live by is dress one level higher then the standard work attire for that position. So if standard dress is jeans/tshirt, wear jeans and a nice button up. Slacks and a collars shirt, go for a tie. Ties worn, wear a jacket. Etc.
It helps people see you fitting into the position. I also go with eye contact, and attempt to mirror the interviewers body positions.

Find people you know in the jobs, random CV's so often get looked over. If you know someone within the company get them to refer you, generally you get at least a call, and if you get hired they might get a hiring bonus for you.

I was looking at that one actually.  Did you grab the 32 gb one?  I was thinking that one with the optional keyboard (and it has an additional battery) for when I need to work a little more and compose full on emails/documents where I need a little more than just the touch pad on the go.

What is it you don't like about it?  Any real short comings/game breakers?

Thanks for the input.

Honeycomb file structure is messed up in regards to SDcards. The internal SDCard folder is called "SDCard" but is part of the main memory. This means any apps you may use that are meant to work directly with an sdcard will still be referencing space on the 16gb (in my case) drive. The external card is stored in /Removable/MicroSD/. In my case it's mostly annoying because I'm rooted an use titanium backup to backup all my settings and apps. But it's coded to backup to /sdcard/ yet if I wipe the drive for a new rom it will mess with that - so after I back that up, I have to move the files to MicroSD, then move it back when I want to restore items. It also means you can't move apps to the "MicroSD". Hopefully this will be changes in a software update in the future.

Deal breaker? Absolutely not. Because of this I would have gotten the 32GB one had I known this and had the Best Buy I went to had them in stock. I did not get the keyboard, but plan to in the future. I've heard good things about it. Be sure to google for the shortcuts when you get it. A buddy of mine also got this the same day I did with the keyboard, so hopefully I'll get to use it tomorrow at work. The office app that comes with it, Polaris, is pretty nice, but doesn't accept password protected spreadsheets, so I upgraded to DocumentsToGo - which I had already bought for my phone.

I did have an odd issue with the Market, but it's a google issue - not a transformer issue. Eventually when I would try to install apps I would get the message "Error processing purchase" - even if it was a free app. I would have to switch to my wifes account within the market in order to download it.

We got this originally because my wife wanted an ereader. We liked the nook color, but the price is too high, especially for features w either didn't care about or already had in our phones. For an extra $50, we considered the new A100 7" tab, which we saw the price for at $350 at walmart. Unfortunately, it isn't out yet. I've been drooling for a 10 inch tab for a while, primarily for photography purposes. I've also wanted to the transformer for a long while as well, because I love that it can turn to a netbook with ease. The battery is not bad for what it is... It says about 9 hours, and so far that seems about right on.

For the price, you can't beat it.

So after reading your input I have a little comfort in my direction.

Your conclusions were basically the same as mine for a lot of the same reasons.  I was looking at a tab for myself for a while but it was my daughter wanting a reader that drove me to look seriously.  We started at Amazon looking at Kindles, went to B&N and looked at the Nook and Nook color.  Down the road to Best Buy and we saw the standard iPads and then a few other tablets including the one you picked up.

So my evaluation was that the color nook (at $249) does a little more than the standard B&W reader but it's not a full on tablet PC.  If you want a reader with B&W high contrast that is a work horse even in full sun go grab the Kindle or Nook basic model for $140ish or less.  Simple, long life battery, no frills but B&W.  That being said if you want a more diverse social media consumption apppliance with websites, email, social media, videos, and multiple readers (B&N, Kindle, ibooks) you really do yourself justice by spending the few extra dollars to get a Transfomer which I think priced out at just a little over $300.  Add the extra 16 GB to get to 32 GB total for a little over $100 and the optional keyboard for another $135 or so and you have something in the area of $550 which is basically a low end laptop.

I can't see getting the basic readers (color matters to me and therefore it matters to my daughter) so then I'm just sorta stuck at how much more does she (or me because I'm gonna write mine off as a business related expense) need?  

I think I need more knowledge about the OS and interoperability at this point.  I love how Apple integrates but isn't iPad still a single task OS?  No Flash?  Tether challenged unless I get an AT&T contract?  Meh.. a lot more to learn in my opinion.

Love to know how the keyboard works for you if you can steal your friend's for a little.

Thanks again for the good discussion.

Post by: Fuse on July 11, 2011, 01:16:33 am
iPad handle multi tasking now... somewhat. And it depends what you mean by tether. I tether the tab to my phone, as I didn't bother with the 3G version because I refuse to pay for it. I have a phone that is always on me that I can tether through wifi. Win.

We did the same dance as you with the readers. Best buy had the 16gb for 400, the 32gb for 500, and the keyboard for 150.
If the 7inch A100 was out we probably would have gotten that, but I'm happy with this.

Seriously man. If she's really willing to do that out of spite alone there's something sketchy going on in my opinion. And you don't want to get rolled up in something you didn't see coming. I would recommend not getting in the middle of something with someone crazy, even if she is hot.

I could literally cry. My friends I met studying abroad in Florence are coming to Michigan from San Diego to spend 5 days at one of their cottages (22nd-27th, Monday-Saturday), and I may only get to see them one night because of work. I don't even know if I will get to see them for that one night. It's so unfair; they're road-tripping ALL THE WAY FROM CALIFORNIA TO COME TO THE STATE WHERE I LIVE AND I MIGHT NOT EVEN GET TO SEE THEM. It would cost me $500 to see them if I wanted to travel out there, and here they are essentially on my back doorstep and I won't even get to have a drunken night with them.

It's at these points in my life where I realize that I'm a lot older than I wish I were, and it's really sad and depressing.

Well, for clarification, I was never into scenario games. I worked at Badlandz in Chicago, which is most famous for the hosting the worlds second largest paintball tournament, the Chicago Open. (Not held there anymore) Moreso for having the worlds first hyperball field. I worked there at the time side-by-side with (then) world renowned team Aftershock. Billy Ceranski was my manager...Even went his wedding. (pick name off the floor) So Even though I had a spyder at one point, whenever I played in a tournament I would use Aftershocks gear. So I have a very high taste in what I wanted.

With that said, I didn't have money. Which sucks. I bought a used PMR. It will be great with UL frame, new feedneck, DW CF barrel, spring loaded detents, and I'd also like to get a virtue oled board and Dye Rotor as well. The guy threw in his 70/4500 crossfire, evo3 loader (puke), and an i3 mask. Not a bad package for $250 shipped. I really would have loved to get the 2011 reflex rail, but can't afford that right now. This stuff should get me back into it just enough. I won't be playing with pros anymore, so don't need the best equipment.

Here's a solution to get him out of the house:

At Burning Man they have this thing called "Fishing for Ravers" where you take a glow stick and tie fishing line to it, then throw it out onto the playa and wait for a tripping raver to bend down and pick it up. Then you reel it in and see how far they'll follow it before they figure out that what they are chasing isn't actually alive....

So I suggest rigging one up to lure him out of the house where he "accidentally" locks himself out. Or at least, that's what I do when my roomie is on a techno and booze binge, lol.

We will see if tor can dethrone wow. Remember wow has 11 million+ subscribers for a reason. TOR definitely has the potential but this all depends on how the end game is. TOR has already eliminated the grind feeling though story, but if TORs Wpvp is just like wows and the operations don't live up to wow's raids then wow will maintain its reign.

It IS primitive.  It's going on 7 years old now.  it's like Madonna: yes, it was hot in it's prime, and it's aged pretty damn well, but there comes a point where all the nips and tucks can only hide so much.

Actually, the UL frame is heavier than this frame - odd, I know. Yes, this thing is super light as it is - 1.14lbs. That's the same weight as the SLG that came out about the same time. I would be interested in the UL frame because it allows for more options when it comes to triggers and more importantly, boards. I would love a virtue oled, which can only be put in the UL frame. Luckily, this board's default modes are reasonable for a while while I determine how much money I want to drop into it.

http://www.virtueverse.net/wiki/General_Discontent

My old Virtue character.  Played for a few months during a break from EVE.

CoH is definitely the next most conducive game to RP, but it had a few drawbacks.  First, back when I played, there was no ability to walk.  You ran everywhere.  This got changed, I think, but it was still something that took away from the experience. Second, sitting was annoying as hell.  You had a variety of positions, but none of them were made to synch with the furniture like WoW did, so I always spent half of my conversations trying to hit juuuust the right spot on the chair to look like I was sitting on it, not floating. Last of all, all the RP happened in Club D.  That might not be the developers fault, but pretty much the only time I ran into active RP going on, it was in the D.  Out in the world, RPing just got some funny looks and silence.

I could say that having the proper guild probably would have changed that, but that's true of any MMO.  In WoW, I was always stumbling across new RP and making friends outside of my guild because of it.  Maybe I was just lucky, though.

Edit:  Gad, I picked songs for a soundtrack for him?  I am SUCH a nerd.

This is so fishing true!
 I completely stopped flossing for like 6 months and went in and the dentist said that same thing.
 So for the following six months before my next appointment I flossed after every meal and upon waking up/going to sleep.
 Next appointment the lady said, "It seems you still haven't been flossing enough."

 So now I just do it when I feel I need it or after eating steak, jerky, etc.
Dentists are whores.

Dentist - "You need to floss more"

Patient - "Oh?"

Dentist - "Yes, when I probe your gums they bleed, that's a sign that they're not healthy."

Patient - "Or it could be that you're jamming a sharp metal object into soft flesh."


This is so fishing true!
 I completely stopped flossing for like 6 months and went in and the dentist said that same thing.
 So for the following six months before my next appointment I flossed after every meal and upon waking up/going to sleep.
 Next appointment the lady said, "It seems you still haven't been flossing enough."

 So now I just do it when I feel I need it or after eating steak, jerky, etc.
Dentists are whores.

 Unless one of you is a dentist. Then you are a high priced hooker instead.


this happened to me too.

then i learned how to floss correctly ;)

The president signed 0 balanced budgets and proposed none. The president signed 1 spending bill and proposed none.

There are a multitude of events since about the mid 90's that have led us to this point, exacerbated by effect of our political leadership, both Republicans and Democrats, at the national level, and even most of the states, ending up in polarized camps for yet another variety of reasons.

One could argue that we're victims of our own success and that this was inevitable as it was in Japan two decades ago. Suffice to say that we got into this mess because of arrogance and unbridled optimism fueled by a new trajectory in our economic growth.

My hope that we might yet still recover stems from our unique differences however.

1. We have plentiful natural resources
2. Our labor force is still the most talented
3. Our population age demographic isn't as lopsided as Japan's
4. Our university system is great
5. We still have the largest GDP by far
6. We are still the freest country world

Anyone that wants to be snide and clever in the name of their political beliefs, I remind you that you're in this too.

It is true, what really makes for a good history course is a good teacher. In that regard, history can be taught in any medium. A good teacher will keep you from hating yourself or America while at the same time learning how to ask the right questions to keep the world in a healthy perspective.

My hope with history lessons is that people realize there are a vast number of parallels to draw on for decision making in the future. As well history can really add both elements of levity and tragedy to current events, again, to help put things in perspective.

Now if you get some moronic teacher telling you Stalin wasn't such a bad guy, then yeah, you might come away with a skewed perspective :-p

I agree they cost too much, but generally speaking the sheer number of schools we have has the effect of churning out more college-educated laborers. Some would argue we pump out too many C students (or worse) and that waters down the concept of holding a degree. I would argue that more education is generally a good thing regardless. The concern I have, actually most people have, is that we pump out too many lawyers and politicians and not enough scientists and engineers.

Also, the American education system, for all it's flaws, does, in general, emphasize problem solving and logical/critical thinking over rote memorization, which is one of the reasons at the 8th grade level other countries wallop us and but if you compare the self-selecting group that gets through university level, America, just by volume, comes out ahead. In fact I would point out that because you recognize teacher's have their own politics and are self-interested kind of makes my point. Do you think a Chinese student in some Beijing college is going to think that way as readily as you?

If you think DC is pricey, double to triple the price on everything and you'll be ready for NY.

I have a lot of friends who keep out of SAG and Equity for the exact reason that they won't be able to lower seated shows, but as you said, not moving forward means you're moving backward. It just may take a bit to get you settled into that next tier.

That being said, there's always 99 Equity Waiver shows. Do they have those in DC? The pay is usually crap, but they keep you working. I was doing ONLY EW shows when I was SMing in LA. Sometimes I'd be paid $320/wk and sometimes I'd be paid a $100 stipend for a three month run. It's a gamble.

Saw this coming a year ago.
http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/05/news/economy/downgrade_rumors/index.htm?iid=Lead

"The downgrade reflects our opinion that the ... plan that Congress and the Administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government's medium-term debt dynamics." ... “our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2001"

They originally said we would have had to cut 4 trillion to keep the rating - our congress couldn't do it. So this is no surprise to me.

An aside to a note earlier, if the GOP had gotten what true fiscal conservatives wanted over the last 2 years, this could have been saved. Unfortunately, even the GOP has their heads in their asses - just not as far as the left.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and this gem is a little bit of a warning for those who think we shouldn't be cutting programs...
"– The outlook on the long-term rating is negative. We could lower the long-term rating to ‘AA’ within the next two years if we see that less reduction in spending than agreed to, higher interest rates, or new fiscal pressures during the period result in a higher general government debt trajectory than we currently assume in our base case."

Look: the United States has been running up big debts for the past couple of years because we’re trying to climb out of an epic recession. That’s perfectly justifiable. And our focus on reining in our long-term debt is, literally, less than a year old. Pretending that our political system is fundamentally broken because we haven’t solved our long-term problems in a few months is staggeringly panicky and ahistorical, and S&P’s obsession with hitting a $4 trillion target for medium-term deficit reduction is economically vacuous. If we still can’t get our act together in four or five years, then fine. We deserve a downgrade. But a few months? That’s crazy. It’s the kind of hair-trigger reaction that belongs on cable shoutfests, not in the boardroom of a sober, 150-year-old financial firm.

This is unfortunate and was avoidable if it weren't for the 'status quo'.

I hear this argument, "the debt ceiling has been raised for the last 15 years with no problems--but now it's a problem, WHY?" Easy answer, because the credit agencies have been warning about this for a long time. This time they made us an ultimatum; $4 trillion or lose it. It's not something to be proud of when GDP can be matched dollar for dollar with Debt with no credible future fiscal plan enacted.

Again, it's like beating a dead horse to get these facts out and recognized. Congress passed a balanced budget, a balanced budget amendment, and at least 2 debt ceiling plans with $4+ trillion in cuts. They are the only part of government serious about fiscal reform and recovery. But yet they are vilified for following their campaign promises of which their constituents voted for.

Reagan walked into his Presidency in a recession and went into the mid-terms as a full recovery. Face it, his policies worked; they created an atmosphere that enabled small business and entrepreneurs to start the next boom.

The current recovery is far into the longest recovery ever since WWII with no end in sight and all the stats pointing toward slowing down. Face it, these policies aren't working; they are stagnating small business, large business is stashing cash and shifting it overseas.

In a free market society boom and bust are cycles. Some on both sides are simply trying to create a free market with no boom or bust (totalitarian regulation)... a forever stagnate market that will continue to ever slowly decline into obsolescence. Policy has to adapt in times of boom and in times of bust without ever getting too big.

2012 I think will prove as a crossroads for America. One road leads to national and personal economic responsibility and the other is the continued emphasis that social responsibilities are more important than any economic responsibly.

I would say we've had a few of those crossroads, and we continue to vote in politicians on all sides that aren't serious about not spending what we don't have. I have hope that next year will be different, but don't expect it.

At least I understand the economic cycle, and am currently well employed, even if we are struggling - this gives me done comfort knowing that when it bounces back I can prepare now to be stronger than most. Get your fiscal house in order-it won't be better for at least three years I suspect, and that's if big changes start next year.

Indeed, it's time for a balanced approach with both spending cuts and tax revenue. Anything else is just a half-assed approach.
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on August 07, 2011, 08:20:19 am
I would replace your "tax revenue" with "tax reform". With over %50 of people not paying any taxes at all, and a completely incorrect view of the phrase "fair share" being tossed around in order to tax the rich more, I don't see this government getting it done - too many people to piss off, or look like your favoring (which isn't that most of politics anyways?). "Tax revenue" should only be considered if you mean by taxing that %50. I still don't see how it's "fair" that I pay a lower amount than rich folks, or that I pay more than those less fortunate than I. Do politicians understand what a percentage means? What definition of "fair" are they using?

Two ways to make it fair:
Consumption tax excluding food items, and adjustment of the corporate tax rate to compensate the jump in wholesale costs initially is the way to go. How much more fair can you get? A struggling gas station clerk pays the same exact tax if he decides to buy the same exact items that bill gates buys. Fair. It guarantees that no one eludes paying their taxes - even the rich, and even the politicians who are some of the worst offenders. Food items should not be part of it, but the government should also get out of subsidies. Not taxing food products would have a few effects - 1, it would eliminate the need for subsidies - that's basically what not taxing it would do. 2, it would encourage companies to invest and develop more on America food resources. 3, there would be no government roadblock to the poorest of us to get sustenance.
Another great thing about the consumption tax is that you take the taxing body (IRS) out of the people's pockets for the most part. It is no longer the person that is the focus of the tax, it's an item. This increases personal freedoms, decreases government oversight, and all at the same time increasing revenue.

Flat tax.
Tax everyone the same percentage across the board. No exceptions. No welfare excuses, and no loopholes for the rich. If you make $20,000 a year and you're taxed 10%, feel comforted knowing that the guy making $500,000 is getting the same rate. There's so many issues with this (even logistically) that I won't go into it as much as the consumption tax, but briefly it is much more likely to be abused and manipulated. This still involves the individual as the focus of the tax and relies on each individual to handle the process. This is more fair than what we have now though.

This has been a dream of mine for a long time.  Consider how much additional savings our country would realize if we did this.  

1.  IRS staffing reduction of >90%.  I joke about this as being 2 guys.  The guy that runs the database and the guy that signs the report for Treasury.

2.  Tax code legislation.  All that time our elected officials waste debating, rewriting and administrating the laws for an overly complex and oppressive tax code can be repurposed to something more useful.

There are other savings as well if you just think about it.  Flat, fair and simple.

Sure you would have financial impacts.  Tax focused accountants would have to learn to do something useful and give up on finding loopholes and such.  Tax lawyers would have to learn to be parasitic in some other sector.  My eyes are welling up with tears here.. let me pause to wipe my tears.

The problem with the flat tax is it takes away Washington's ability to socially engineer via financial incentives ie.. People should own houses so lets give tax breaks for people who buy homes. etc.  Certain groups believe this is not only a preferential way to run a government but that it's irresponsible to not do this.

Naturally, this group doesn't include me.

Post by: Da6onet on August 07, 2011, 11:24:55 am
A few points:

1. Reaganomics, or Supply-Side Economics, actually didn't work as intended. It is true that real GDP and tax revenues did go up after top marginal income tax rates on earned income were cut from 50 to 28 percent by the 90s. However, the Reagan tax cuts, coming at a time of severe recession, helped boost aggregate demand and return real GDP to its "full-employment" output and normal growth path. As the economy expanded, so did tax revenues despite the lower tax rates. The rise in tax revenues caused by economic growth swamped the declines in revenues from lower tax rates. In essence, the Laffer curve shifted, increasing net tax revenues. But the tax-rate cuts did not produce extraordinary shifts of the long-run aggregate supply curve. Actually, saving fell as a percentage of personal income during that period, productivity growth was sluggish and real GDP growth was not extraordinarily strong. Today most economists agree the US economy is operating at a point in the lower half of the Laffer curve - meaning personal tax-rate increases raise tax revenue and personal tax-rate decreases reduce tax revenues. However, one thing we did learn from supply-side economics in practice, other things equal, cuts in tax rates reduce tax revenues in percentage terms by less than the tax-rate reductions and tax-rate increases do not raise tax revenues by as much in percentage terms as the tax-rate increases. Changes in marginal tax rates do alter taxpayer behavior and thus affect consumption in aggregate demand. Although these effects seem to be relatively modest, they need to be considered in designing tax policy.



2. A flat tax would actually increase the divide between the richest and poorest in the country even more than our current tax system does.

This is where the history course would come in handy. Go back and study the populist movement of the 1890s.

Say that in order live, to pay bills, buy food and shelter costs $1200.

Now lets take three different incomes, and charge a 20% flat tax.
A. 2,000
B. 20,000
C. 200,000

A pays $400 in taxes and now has $400 in Disposable Income (DI)
B pays $4,000 in taxes and has $14,800 DI
C pays $40,000 in taxes and has $158,800 DI
Total tax revenue is $44,400

Lets also throw in that you have 100 people in your country, 80% are group A, 18% group B, and 2% group C. This means there is 32000+266400+317600 = $616,000 DI to spend (or save).

Fair right?

Lets look at it another way. The burden to foot the bills for the US government by this tax system now has the greatest effect on the lowest income earner. You say, "but the government can help out those low income earners with social programs, paid for by everyone including themselves." This advocates that the government knows how to spend money better than private citizens (arguable), and that if low income earners paid less in taxes, you wouldn't need as much funding in social programs to begin with.

What if you graduate the income tax but the government wants to keep the tax revenue the same? 0-10000 taxed at 10%, 10001-20000 taxed at 20%, 20001 and higher taxed at whatever it takes to get to 44,400.

A pays $200 in taxes and has $600 DI 50% increase
B pays $2200 in taxes and has $16,600 DI 12% increase
We need $42,000 more in taxes to reach our revenue goal.
So, that means C pays $42,000 in taxes, meaning the marginal rate for 20001+ needs to be 22%
C pays $42,000 in taxes and has $156,800 DI a 1.3% decrease

When compared to the flat tax system, taxes still greatly affect the low income earner and the paltry amount of money they earn, however now the effect is lessened, increasing their DI 50% as well as the middle income earner's DI by 12%. The top income earner loses a very small percentage of disposable income and the government gets what it needs to run everything.

As a result of having more cash on hand, the lowest income earner doesn't need as much government assistance, thus actually increasing money the government has to spend on other things, such as national defense.

As well, lets take that 100 person population and see how much money is available to spend (or save). 48000+298800+313600 = $660,400, an increase of more than 7%



3. In simplest terms, the reason we are where we are now is because we borrow in fat times when we should have been saving (you could argue S&P and others only complain about it during recessions, so their credibility is shot). I expect that kind of fiscal irresponsibility from Democrats, but Republicans should know better. There is a reason the Tea Party movement has risen to such prominence. However, just as all politicians are, even Tea Party'ers are short-sided and only trying to do things that will get them elected. Sadly, I don't ever see this mindset changing in my lifetime.

Indeed, it's time for a balanced approach with both spending cuts and tax revenue. Anything else is just a half-assed approach.


Don't take this the wrong way.... YOU ARE INSANE!!!!!


The Dems have not passed a budget for over 800 days.  

They had a super majority for over two years and could've passed any type of TAX REVENUE (TAX INCREASES) that they wanted to.  However, they did not. Want to know why?  Because they are to chicken shit to just do it without having Republicans in tow to blame for it or to say they were for it as well.

Balance my ass... How stupid is that.  Balance you got to be kidding me.  Do I really need to tally up all the spending, the bail outs, Stimulus one, Stimulus two, Obama Care, what the hell else is there.   How much more money can these fuckers spend and rack up in debt and you want to now say balance?

Seriously?!?

Balance would be now starting to balance the budget, cut spending, seriously cut not just keep it in check, CUT CUT CUT...  

You have no idea how many billlions we fuckin waste.... I do.  Trust me it is BILLIONS and BILLIONS A MONTH.  A MONTH!!!!

Er, the bail out was the Republicans and George W (the first one, anyway). My point is that we can't afford to live in absolutes. Most of the GOP signed pledges to never raise taxes under ANY circumstance, so even when logic says to give a little to get a little, they refused to play ball.

Both parties are to blame for the inadequate behavior. The Dems conceded to a good bit of spending cuts for nothing other than the debt ceiling being raised again, which has happened every year for the past 17 years (or 17 times) without a fuss. Until both parties are willing to get off of their ideological high horse and work towards real compromise and real solutions, rather than playing some political chess game to see how fucked up they can make it seem the other side is making our country, we're not going to get anywhere.

Yes, I do think the Dems came out looking better because they were willing to put some sizeable cuts on the table while the Republicans refused to match that level of commitment to getting a handle on the debt via tax revenue, but the Dems should find a better way to get the Republicans to play ball.

To be honest, I think our currently political system is slowly poisoning the country. Re-election and raising personal funds take too high a priority over fixing problems and solving issues. When you have elected officials who are OK with the country defaulting because it will prove their point that they are the only ones who can fix it, there's a serious problem.

And feel free to ignore the other things I pointed out showing the obscene amounts of money we have been spending on all kinds of entitlement progams, and other BS that the Dems and Obama said would keep us from having record high unemployment, or stock market failure, or any number of other things that they said would be fixed but weren't.

It's not inadequate behavior, it is the insane amount of money going out.

The dems didn't concede to jack shit.  You do realize that no future congress can be bound by what is passed by a previous congress.  So despite the fact that they "claim" to have done spending cuts.  Those cuts are over the next 10 years or so.  At any point during that time period another congress can say fuck you to those and cancel them.  On the other hand though Obama gets to spend the increased amount on the debt ceiling now.  

And as to the debt ceiling being raised without a fuss before... Seriously????

The Republicans are the only ones who passed any bills out of the house to deal with the issues.  Once those bills went to the Senate the senate just tabled them and said fuck you.  We don't like these so fuck you.  The Dems in the Senate could've had up or down votes on the houses Cut Cap and Balance but they said fuck you.  

Hell I'm pretty sure there were at least two bills that came out of the house that the Senate Dems and Pres said fuck you to before the final bill was approved.

If the Dems wanted something a particular way then they should put it in writing and send it over to the other branch to be looked at but they are to chicken shit to do that because it pins them down on it.

It's a spending problem that we really have.  I mean for every american dollar that the goverment takes from an american citizen and spends on what they deem to be necessary, they turn around and borrow over .40cents from a foriegn country.

What is up with that?  That's like going up to your roomie and saying "Hey I know I only have 200 coming in this month, and I gotta pay rent, and utils, and food, which total 250.00 dollars, but I'm going to borrow another 75.00 from you to get this game at Best Buy I want.  Seriously?  (yeah I know you'd find it from that other friend named torrent)

The problem is you have two very divergent ideas going on.

One group of people thinks it is the goverments job to oversee the wellbeing and lifelihood of people and that is what defines the greatness of America.

The other group thinks it is individiaul freedom and personal responsiblity and individual exceptionalism that is the defining quality of the country.

Those two things don't work well together and never should.

Why the hell aren't the republicans making as huge a stink about the jaw dropping amount of money being spent on the occupation of nearly every major country in the world.  Also, I've lost count of how many wars we're currently in.  3?  4?

That sure seems to be a giant amount of money being wasted right there, right?

And the Democrats could sure pull back on some of the programs that aren't really helping anyone.  We can retool the department of education for one.  No child left behind and these other idiot federal oversteps are just wasteful and aren't helping my child get a better education.

Democrats that say welfare reform is unneeded just aren't paying attention.  We need a safety net for our citizens but we sure as shit should not be encouraging people to enter the country illegally then proceed to live off of the welfare system.  Nor should we allow drug addicts and willfully unemployed to rely on it.  There needs to be a limit and very strict conditions placed on welfare.  For example, no welfare should be given to anyone who's not a citizen.  Period.  Drug tests should be mandatory.  Welfare offices and unemployment offices should be merged.  You should have to show proof of job searching to get your money.  

As far as raising revenue goes.  Look, I am 100% against new taxes.  BUT.  Until we're at a point where we can lower taxes for everyone, everyone sure as shit needs to be paying their fair percentage.  That includes the upper 3% of earners.  I don't count closing tax loopholes for the rich as raising taxes.  I also don't count pulling the tax cuts for the rich "raising taxes".  It's called... If we have to pay, you have to pay.  

The red verses blue crap is a sham created to distract you all from the truth.  I think this guy said it best:

I always looked at the two by first understanding that in practice laissez-faire social darwinism simply doesn't work and that "imposed" social darwinism creates a pretty awful society. So what are we left with? Well, the main reason social darwinism doesn't work is that humans, perhaps because of our higher intelligence, self-awareness, etc. seem to create more second chances to better ourselves than animals, regardless of whether you have a social welfare program in place. We also know however, that people endlessly screw up until they don't, so that if you do help them, they could just screw up again and again until either you are dead or they are. The idea of dysgenics comes to mind given our current world population, but then I am reminded that even in large "inferior" populations you do still end up with some good ones. Likewise, even in "superior" populations you still can end up with bad ones. Nature vs nurture, that whole argument, blah blah blah. The way I see it, if history has taught us anything, it is that given enough time, society is self-correcting, by that I mean you have coups, unions, civil rights laws, regulations, etc. I personally call it punishment for lack of foresight. So what should we do? Hell if I know, all I know is that social welfare is a money pit because of the paradox of screw ups as stated earlier. But we also shouldn't "let it be" either, as I believe that you can't run a factory or grow food without workers, and if they're all dead, what good is the lawyer going to be?

Assuming this information is correct, "The military of the United States is deployed in more than 150[1] countries around the world, with more than 369,000 of its 1,580,255[2] active-duty personnel serving outside the United States and its territories. Most of these overseas personnel are deployed in combat zones in the Middle east, as part of the "War on Terror". Many of the remainder are located at installations activated during the Cold War, by which the US government sought to counter the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II." Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_deployments)

Obviously we do not need to be deployed to 150 countries and fight a handful of wars to protect the US.  

It's incredibly silly to think that we're nation building, bombing and occupying to serve any other interest other than corporate profit.  There are defense contracts to be purchased, bombs and airplanes to be built, oil and heroine to control abroad and power to be grabbed.  It has not a bit to do with making sure that your back yard is threat free.

Eisenhower wasn't just making light talk in his farewell address.  Our money is being hijacked to serve the interested of some very.  VERY rich people under the guise of "freedom i$n't free!"

That money belongs to us.  Not just Republicans, Democrats or Independents.  Yours and mine.  My parents, your grandchildren.  That's our money.  And it's being stolen from us.

Don't be fooled.  We aren't out there fighting the good fight anymore.  We're out there kicking ass and taking power.  I don't agree with that shit.

In my opinion though, that way of thinking is what's so polarizing and absolutist.

If cutting military spending is totally off the table until Republicans feel entitlement spending is pulled back enough, that's far from a compromise or "real debt cutting".  And that's what we've seen with this whole debt ceiling fiasco.  It was all political theatrics and posturing when they're actually only quibbling over a tiny fraction of the real deficit.  

Nothing should be off the table.  But it's silly to say that the insane amount of military spending that's actually eating other countries / cultures, killing people and harming people's way of life is off the table while money that's actually "helping" people (and yes abused) needs to get cut first.  Yes my point is that we need to attack both military AND entitlements but it's a head scratcher when republicans refuse to cut military when it's the spending that positively impacts US lives the *LEAST*.

Two thoughts I just had (note, wildly open to getting shot down).

1. We won the cold war, therefore we have the right to influence the world and the responsibility to protect it. That means having our military pretty much everywhere at all times. That said, yes, our defense spending is inefficient.

2. Most social programs like welfare were designed to be temporary;FDR himself hated the idea of giving money directly to people. Programs like medicare highlight two problems. One is that paying into the government through taxes doesn't mean there will be enough money to pay for things far into the future. Two, you can't really vote yourself entitlement.

It is a more frighteningly accurate paradox than you know.

If you look back in US History, you will find that every presidential candidate who has promised to end a war or not get involved in a war, has ended up doing exactly the opposite.

Quote from: "likwidtek"


Ron Paul is a bit of a paradox. He says things that are seemingly logical and true, yet at the same time he is kind of a nut job and an ideological gambler, (win big or lose big). That said, I absolutely think he should be in every serious debate, saying what he does, because he forces people like Santorum to be honest.

How so?


Perhaps nut job is harsh (I base it only on his views of the theory of evolution and religion). I will instead just stick with second observation. Just like pure communism doesn't work in the real world, pure capitalism doesn't "work" either- assuming we measure success by the standard of living for the most amount of people. For the most part, Ron Paul's ideas are not practical at face value. BUT, just like with communism vs capitalism, historically a market based system with some independent safeguards/limits/tweaks (read government regulation/intervention if you want), tends to be wildly more successful than communism that isn't quite as socialist. I bring up this comparison because I feel policies that are Ron Paul-esque would be more successful than slightly center of left policies would be.

I used to be more of a hardcore Libertarian, but since then I've studied more US history and learned more about macroeconomics and tried adjusting to a more pragmatic approach (still registered as a Libertarian though). I will leave with the following:
1. I'd love it if Ron Paul got the Republican nomination.
2. If Ron Paul were the Republican nominee, he would further polarize already intractable political parties at the national level.
3. It is historically very difficult to unseat an incumbent president in the US- even Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter both still got 4 in 10 people to vote for them.

So in pursuing genealogical research into my family lineage, I'm now fairly certain that I'm not directly descended from William Heselrig, Sheriff of Lanark (You might remember a portrayal of him in this scene (http://youtu.be/aMUlPgx6ImE) from Braveheart, when he slit Wallace's wife's throat). While that story is fictionalized, my family was still douchey to the Scottish for hundreds of years, sorry Ket.

edit: for those of you interested in English history circa 1642 (civil war), this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Arthur_Hesilrige,_2nd_Baronet) is my first cousin 12 times removed.*

Fuck. My. Life.

So, Michigan State's Accounting Graduate program and its application process says this:

Quote
Current MSU accounting students with both an overall GPA and at least three intermediate accounting courses (300/400-level, excluding ACC 308) of at least 3.25 are able to waive the GMAT.


ACC 201: 3.5
ACC 202: 4.0
ACC 300: 3.0
ACC 301: 0.0
ACC 308: 3.5
ACC 321: 3.5
ACC 331: 3.0


So, the current average is 3.1677, if you only count the bold 300 level classes. Makes you wonder why I chose Accounting, huh? My overall GPA is a 3.7. This means that I have to take the GMAT. I'm not bitching about that. I guess what I'm really bitching about is Michigan State's grading scale and how they handle grades.

Two of those highlighted classes (ACC 321 and ACC 331) I was within 2 points of getting a higher grade (4.0/3.5 respectively). So instead of having a great 3.9 and a nice 3.45 GPA in those classes, my grades get artificially pushed down to a 3.5 and a 3.0. Essentially, if I had just done two points better in just ONE class, I wouldn't have to worry about taking the GMAT. That Tax class I went on a binge studying for 3 days straight? Had I just done two points better in that class, I wouldn't have to take the GMAT. My ACC 321 class, I always had the highest project grade among my classmates, and I was 2 points away from getting a 4.0. I emailed the Professor, and she wouldn't up my grade and told me, "The grade doesn't really matter. What really matters is what you got out of the class, and you understood a great deal." SO THEN GIVE ME THE GOD DAMNED 4.0. At the time, it didn't seem like it would be a huge deal. I mean, whatever. It was only one god damn grade in one god damn class.

Now, I know my grade is my responsibility. I get that. I understand that, and that's why I have a great overall GPA. It happens to everyone at Michigan State in every class, so I'm not the only one that this happens to. I know that if I studied more and spent that extra hour at the library and didn't party as much, I probably wouldn't have this issue. But I just think it's ridiculous how my grade gets artificially pushed down, and it's really going to impact this semester (and my gaming time) because I'm going to have to spend a bunch of time studying in the library instead of hanging out with my friends/playing SWTOR. Test costs $250 to take, and the prep materials are $475. Seriously. What is my life?

Why is school getting in the way of my education? Fuck asshole professors.

We threw such a bitchin party last night. Holy fuck. We started our party at 8pm with 4 kegs. By 11:15, we were half way through our fourth keg and we had literally over 200 people at the party, so we bought 2 more and finished those off by 1am when the cops showed up. We made $768 from selling cups for the kegs, paid $440 for all the kegs, and the noise violation will likely cost us around $300 or more.

All in all, no regrets whatsoever, except the hangover the next morning. I felt like I got hit in the head with a baseball bat.

I'm aware of this, and I throw calls to voicemail all the time.  

The whole reason for a cell phone is convenience.  And since it's my phone, I will answer it when it is convenient for me.

My rule-of-thumb is if they call back a second time then it's probably something urgent.

Had a face palm moment today.

So for years I've always looked at my Verizon wireless bill and never paid much attention to the $13+ dollars in surcharges/fees after the initial wtf the first time I ever started paying for my own cellphone. Today however, I was looking over our bills and noticed that in the past few months our (joint bill under wife's name) cell phone bill has fluctuated by about one dollar plus or minus over the past few months even though we haven't gone over minutes/data/texts. Upon further examination, it turns out that it's just differences in fees/surcharges. No big deal, I don't have much control over those. However, something caught my eye that I had never really realized before - there are line items for the DC Gross Receipts Surcharge and DC 911 Surcharge.

This was interesting, because my wife and I have lived in Maryland for nearly two years.

Billing address they had on the profile was correct. However, there is apparently a separate category for service address. More interesting, the service address was not actually our last place, but a townhouse my wife, then girlfriend, lived in in 2006....

While I'm glad to have corrected the error and hopefully now save some money, I am a little baffled by the situation. I think the problem is I'm trying to apply logic to the people at the Verizon store.

I suppose I should be grateful they figured out that she at least moved to DC given that our cellphones are still 412 (Pittsburgh) area codes.

jeesh

So, um.  Did the article actually answer the question it apparently set out to answer?

All I read was Ron Paul's previous history, his seeming naivety in several "campaign pledges", and his unwavering idealism.

Am I to assume that the youngsters flock to him because of his idealism and the fact he, like "young" voters don't like to be told what to do by anyone else?  And, as a result, support the underdog as a sign of their "sticking it to the man" idealism?

That's a simplistic view at best.  I won't go into the political machinations that would play against him, most notably the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC).  If I did, I would probably make a long post even longer.

The US forces, like the UKs, are scattered around the world.  Arguably they are there (as perhaps obligated by being global super-powers) trying to maintain the peace in many, many parts of the world.  Furthermore, whether you like it or not, they are out there protecting their nations foreign interests (and I do mean other things, but include oil within the equation).

Assuming Ron Paul was being absolute about bringing all the troops home.  Does that mean he intends to stand against the UN too?  US troops are part of many a UN force as peace-keeping operartions.  Pulling all troops would significantly reduce the UNs impact and influence in places such as Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Georgia (to name but a few).

But, ok, lets assume he just meant pulling troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.  The debate as to the reasoning why we got involved can rage on and on.  Either way, I would argue that now our forces (UK, US and others who entered the fray) or morally (if not ethically) obligated to rebuild/maintain security and bring the country back to a point where they can support themselves and live in an acceptable level of "peace".
Title: randomness
Post by: likwidtek on September 14, 2011, 02:28:57 pm
We currently occupy 150 countries around the world, many of them of which have no desire for us to be there.  Not only that but we're tangled up in a handful of war like escapades that we have zero business being a part of.  The MIC has been sucking money from the US tax payer for many many years while leaving a trail of dead bodies that covers the globe.  We have no right to do what we're doing and we especially do not have the money to pay for it.

When he says he'll bring the troops home, the way that I've heard him say it is that he's starting with the combat operations and slowly will start closing bases around the world.

Yeah I see NOTHING wrong with this whatsoever.  Especially when the world is screaming "Leave us alone".

All of this said, I'd LOVE to see a detailed plan as to what he has in mind and how exactly this would be executed.  Obviously none of this can happen over night however, it would be SUPER to have a president at the wheel that says what he means.  I was so let down by Obama's lies of bringing the troops home.

I'm just going to put out there that dicking over other nations and people is a long held human tradition. If America stopped dicking over anyone outside the US tomorrow, it can be assured that some other nation will fill in the dicking void.
Possible Examples:
China takes Taiwan by hostile force
Russia sits on Georgia
North Korea bombs South Korea
Middle east becomes completely unchecked
Iran/Terrorist group set off a wmd in Israel, Israel responds with nukes/invasion.
Pakistani terrorists draw India into a major conflict with nobody to pressure them to stop.

The point being, isolationism has proven to be disastrous in the past (you may have heard of WWII), and while I agree we tend to stick our collective dick in places it doesn't belong, I contend:

1. Who is going to stop us?
2. Wouldn't you rather it was us dicking over the world than some other nation or collection of nations?

I hate politics.  I think it might come from the origin of the word.. poly - as in many, and tics - as in "ticks," blood sucking parasites.  But I digress.  On to the more relevant issue.

I think Likwid is mostly right with his take.  Why are we wasting american lives and dollars in countries around the world that hate us?  To influence change is what I keep hearing.  The cost we pay in countries around the world is steep in dollars and lives and the results we have to show, of late, do not justify those expenditures.  I'd rather spend those dollars (but hopefully not lives) here at home to make our country better.  To affect change here where it will impact the people that matter most, namely Americans.

Some facts:

1.  The US military is the most powerful fighting force in the history of the planet.  We can deliver more punch in 24 hours than most countries can in a year and we can do it with little to no notice.  Our warfighters are THE BEST at rapidly going places, killing people, and breaking things.  Its what we do and we do it well.

2.  A military force does NOT perform the same mission as a police force.  Our troops are NOT well equiped in my never to be humble opinion to act as a police force in another country.  They lack the training and the desire to control a population that resents our presence and authority.  We are making strides in this area and while getting better is good I DO NOT agree that our military should ever be keepers of the peace.

3.  Our military MO of late has been an utter and complete failure.  Not a reflection our warfighters but more a failure of our leadership.  When a country does something "bad" (and this could be anything from human rights violations to attacking a friend) we launch an assault and bring the country to its knees forcing it to come to the table and rethink that "bad" thing it did.  Then we send troops to that country to restore order.  We send US dollars to rebuild.  We flood our news with the humanitarian stories about how great the US has been as an influence to this country.  We try to make friends in that country.  We try to influence change by interaction.

These are facts (maybe the failure part is more opinion).  

Why do I call this a failure?  We spend American dollars breaking things and killing people and then we spend more dollars and lives influencing change in the country we just destroyed.  The chain, in my opinion has to STOP at breaking things and killing people.  If change is what you're after, complete removal of the problem is what will bring the most radical change.  

The new MO should be more painful for the country's leadership.  When we decide to take military action against a country we should announce it.  We should drop leaflets and explain to the people that your country's leadership has made a fundamental error which they refuse to correct.  Please remove the leadership in 60 days or we will do it.  The next day.. drop more.. 59 days.. then 58 days.. etc.  After day 0 the gloves come off.  We unleash the Krakken and bury the country.  Welcome to 100 years ago and good luck finding your way back to the future.  No rebuilding, no policing, nothing.

Pack up and go home.  Change affected.  There are more side effects of this type of policy.  If anyone is really interested I'll mention them later.  The plus side is we don't spend dollars or lives beyond the initial investment and we don't have to put our warfighters in a role that they're not well suited for.  I know it sounds somewhat draconian but it would only take one or two examples to make the point.  Walk softly, carry a big stick, and when you beat someone with the stick don't help them back up, buy them dinner, a beer, a new house and a new car.  That's what we're doing now and it's WRONG.

And you called me ignorant.  I love it.  Simple fact is that the times that the "MIC" didn't get "involved" in things that you "don't think we belong in" hundres of thousands and millions of poeple were killedby the dictators and tyrants that we let run amuck.

Simple fact is you are alive and living in the in the freedom you live in because of the "MIC".  

Don't forget that you live in the luxury that you do because of the life blood of others who sacrfice at the altar of freedom.

Because despite the fact that so many have become complacent and ignorant of where their freedom comes from it doesn't discount the truth that freedom comes from the death of those brave souls who sacrafice all to defend you against those who would use you as a whipping boy for their own amusement.  Before they cut your head off for laughs.

It's okay it truley isn't your fault.  I blame it on the socialists and communist that have taken over our political system and news media.  You know those who hate America becuase we are America.  

you know those guys who see us as the reason for evil in the world instead of the only real true force of good that can confront evil where it appears.

Personallly I say we pull up stakes everwhere let teh massacres happen to those we are protecting just so we can hear people who complain about us being there complain about us not being there and letting all those innocent people die.

Please, you're telling me that we are using 900 military installations in 150 countries to prevent dictators and tyrants rising up?  That's total horseshit and you know it.  We're out there kicking the shit out of people, imposing our will on the world so that 1) Defense contracts get sold and 2) to keep money, power and valuable resources of the world in the control of a relatively small group of people.

Our military has done good in the past.  But that can't be an excuse to "spread democracy" throughout the world and impose our ideal of freedom with an iron fist.

Yup that's what I'm saying.  

And I truley am sorry for you Likwid.  Must be sad to live in a world where you believe such hateful things about your own country and people.  

You don't spread democracy and freedom.  It just happens.  It is the natural yearning of a person to want to have self determination in their life.  

I'm sure when we went back into Iraq you were one of the guys who said we were going for the oil.  No blood for oil.  Tell me Likwid where is the oil?  We didn't go in and take it?

Do you realize that if we wanted to.  I mean if we really wanted to rule with an iron fist we could decimate anyone.  And I mean anyone who stood in our way.  

But we don't.  I don't think you can even pick out an instance where we are out in the world today suppresing people into freedom and democracy.  

You know I don't talk about this stuff much but I've got friends and family members who served and died over in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places that you'll never hear or know about.  

They didn't go and die to suppress people.  They didn't go and die because someone told them to.  We don't follow people blindly in our military despite all the ridiculous movies and tv shows and other crap they make up saying that we do.  They went and died because they believed that it would help keep you and yours safe.  

And it does...

Again I don't blame you for your thoughts.  I think it's systematic with your age group.  I see it in so many to varying degrees.  You've lost a sense of what it means to be an American.  What the sacrafices it entails.  How much is asked of so few, and how willing those few are to give.

It's the world of lies that has been woven over time into a smothering bag which has been pulled over your eyes.

I'll simply close with don't discount the lifes of those who have given up their own lives.  Whose parents, spouses, and children will never have another minute of time with them.  Don't discount that life given so freely to you, to all of us, by saying that they died so that our country can rule others....

It is simply not true

Corr, I'm away for a few days and end up missing a good debate. Like Broin, I have friends and family in the TA are over in 'stan at the moment - they are not there to repress and rule - they're there to help rebuild after a brutal war with a completely horrible regime. I have stories that will shrink your balls to the size of peanuts when it comes to the Taliban - I have no sympathy with them getting blown away. But, it's not all doom and gloom over there - very recently, our Marines set up a football league for the Nad Ali (spelling) district... which they haven't been able to do for many years - IEDs kind of blow up in the most annoying of places. This is one little thing in a score of many GOOD things they have done for the place.

As for the people who go 'wah-wah, we shouldn't even be in Afghanistan' - NATO's there. Most of the western world is behind the operation to hand power back to the government. Also, have you kinda noticed how terrorism has taken a knock and has decreased? Hmm...

When, not if, I pass out and get my green beret - I'll be one of the first in line to volunteer to go out there, if 3 Cmdo Brig ever go out again. As, again, Broin said - I'm not going in because of some trickery, I'm going in because I believe A) every man should do his duty for Queen and country, and B) there are those out there that deserve to be dicked on because the people are suffering.

Just my 2 cents.

Had to go with an ambidextrous model because I'm left-handed but my wife, who also uses the computer, is not.  

So far I'm loving it.  My only gripe is I wish the software had the capability of switching between different button profiles upon logging into the computer.  As it stands my wife (or I) have to manually switch to our respective profile if we want the buttons to be proper.

My favorite feature is the on-th-fly dpi adjustment I can quickly set it so that my mouse moves across one screen then with the press of a button set it so it just as easily flows across all three.

So. I'm watching NFL and basically there's a small amount of running, a bit of pushing then a long wait many times over & over. Its like a big dance and the referees are backing dancers. What's with the helmets and ridiculous shoulder pads?

If there's only a small amount of running and only a little pushing you're watching bad football.

What you should be seeing is fast paced action with hitting that makes you turn your head and wince from time to time.

Rugby confuses the hell out of me. You can pass back but not with the kicking and the tuning and what? Freaking Europeans. Although I do think most of the New Zealand team is smoking hot.

It's the breaks every twelve seconds that annoy the crap out of me - their warm ups are more strenuous than the actual game itself. Oh there were some big hits that made me chuckle, but nothing good - plus the juggernaut armour makes it boring. You only need a gum shield/mouth guard ;) I do like the tactical side of it, though.

You can kick forwards, but the people in front can't catch it - so there's loads of sprinting. You can't drop the ball forwards either, but you can charge down a kick from the opposition.

I want more stingers and concussions! Big blows! Is that too much to ask??

Seriously, who takes an owners manual? On a related note, things could be much worse. I had a good bit of financial statements for the club I'm the Treasurer of in there, and my Ray Bans were with me on my face the entire day. So, really, the only thing that really bothers me that I lost is the owners manual and the earphones.

Sooooo. Yeah.

The Wisconsin game is coming to bite me in the ass. Apparently, I left my car unlocked that day in our parking lot. Come to find out that someone figured out my car was unlocked and took my iPod Touch, my phone charger, my iPod/Speaker connector cord, my iPod earphones, all the quarters in my coin area, and my BMW owners manual.

Seriously, who takes an owners manual? On a related note, things could be much worse. I had a good bit of financial statements for the club I'm the Treasurer of in there, and my Ray Bans were with me on my face the entire day. So, really, the only thing that really bothers me that I lost is the owners manual and the earphones. While everything else sucks, no real damage was done to the car, and I didn't lose anything irreplaceable. I'll just start listening to Pandora on my Evo.

Hoping you called the police and filed a report.

Guessing you didn't have iOS 5 installed?  No chance of using Find My Device?


I have Find my iPhone installed on there, but, as its an iPod touch, it isn't always connected to a network, so finding it is hard to do. I pinged it, and put my phone number on there in case the person decides to be remorseful. As soon as it connects to any network, it'll make that loud noise. I honestly think it was a homeless person. We have a lot of hobo's that walk around and collect old cans. He probably saw the car was open with the iPod there, and got it.

I'm honestly not too broken up about it. It sucks, but much worse things could have happened to my car. I'll probably file a report sometime tomorrow, however.

You're such a cranky old man, but so am I :-)

Not having children I feel I am the least qualified person to comment, but here is my take as an outside observer.
0-4 part of growing up, but this is a crucial time for parents to establish boundaries
when they're 5-12 and misbehaving, it's mostly just annoying and I blame the parents failure in the first part, still there is room for change/tweaking
when they're 13-adult, I blame the kids, at this point they're practically a lost cause for the parents, hopefully the kid will grow up on their own.

My Dad surprised with with an Inspiron Duo. I had mentioned to him that I was needing a smaller netbook for work and travel, and I guess eBay got the best of him. It is a DELL, which I abhor, but so far I'm enjoying it. My first step was to strip it of all the Dell bloatware.

Anyway, I added a bunch of tweaks and put some basic stuff on it. I tested out Onlive on it and it was quite impressive! It would be really cool if Onlive struck a deal with EA about having TOR on there, but even if that happens, I bet I'd have to buy the game twice or something.

I'm most looking forward to docking the thing next to my desktop (it came with the dock as well) and using it in tablet mode for viewing TS and TOR info while I'm gaming!

The worst part is the battery life, but I guess that's what a power cord is for.

The following isn't a defense of the OWS crowd, but more of a defense of civil disobedience and protest in general:

The goal of a protest is to draw attention and raise awareness of your cause.  You can't do that by not getting in the way.  In that regard, the OWS crowd have certainly succeeded.

That being said, if a protest is causing a disturbance to the public, the protesters should expect the authorities to take action.

Unfortunately, this means I leave the day after pre-access begins and come back late on the 20th. Oh well. A free trip to LA sounds pretty good, especially if I can get some sun!

I do most of my watch shopping on http://www.shopnbc.com they have a large selection and if you keep an eye on them they will do a 5 or 6 value pay. essentially breaking up the payments with no interest and shipping the watch as soon as the first payment clears..
I mostly stick with invicta and sturling but thats because I like how they look and the automatic watches..

(http://www2.fiu.edu/~dacalr/Find%20X.jpg)

...then I sighed about the state of America's high school education :-(

Related math joke:
 There were three medieval kingdoms on the shores of a lake. There was an island in the middle of the lake, over which the kingdoms had been fighting for years. Finally, the three kings decided that they would send their knights out to do battle, and the winner would take the island.
     The night before the battle, the knights and their squires pitched camp and readied themselves for the fight. The first kingdom had 12 knights, and each knight had five squires, all of whom were busily polishing armor, brushing horses, and cooking food. The second kingdom had twenty knights, and each knight had 10 squires. Everyone at that camp was also busy preparing for battle. At the camp of the third kingdom, there was only one knight, with his squire. This squire took a large pot and hung it from a looped rope in a tall tree. He busied himself preparing the meal, while the knight polished his own armor.
     When the hour of the battle came, the three kingdoms sent their squires out to fight (this was too trivial a matter for the knights to join in).
     The battle raged, and when the dust had cleared, the only person left was the lone squire from the third kingdom, having defeated the squires from the other two kingdoms, thus proving that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

Yes it can limit your game play.

If you are lucky, you will have a little baby like mine that would sleep all night or she would sleep for a solid 4 hours when she was an infant.

During the babys down time you have a few options.

1 - Play SWTOR

2 - Sleep while she is sleeping

3 - Help momma around the house (so she doesnt kill you)


Congrats by the way! It will change your world forever!

Quote
Valve today announced and launched Steam applications for both iOS and Android platforms. The app, dubbed "Steam Mobile," allows users to chat, read a limited selection of syndicated gaming news (might we also suggest another mobile app for that?), browse groups and profiles, and purchase games while on-the-go. Like many Valve products before it, it's launching in beta. Company president and co-founder Gabe Newell said the app comes at the request of many fans over the years -- it marks Valve's first foray into the mobile space.

"Mobile is changing the way people interact, play games and consume media, and the Steam app is part of our commitment to meet customer demands and expand the service functionality of Steam to make it richer and more accessible for everyone," Newell said. No news is given regarding the potential for game selling through the Steam mobile portal, but it seems unlikely -- at least on Apple devices -- given various terms of service restrictions regarding competition with the official application stores. Both the Android and iOS versions are available as of right now.

Is it supposed to be a comedy? Because there are a couple scenes in the trailer that seem like they're trying to be, but then the rest looks like it's supposed to be taken seriously. I don't want to go to this movie thinking it's going to be making fun of Nazis only to sit through 2 hours of pro Nazi madness.

Meh, I dunno.. what does a smuggler do?
He smuggles shit, is out for money and boob... even in the original films, Han Solo only really stuck around [left and came back] because he could get his reputation up, some more cash... and of course princess boob.

I think the flirt, and "gimme credits" attitude in the Smuggler storyline works pretty well. Freelancer is exactly right. I don't see what else a smuggler would do... but I am enjoying the Smuggler (Scoundrel).

Most of his videos are recorded live (as he plays) but like any good reviewer, he has had prior playing experience on the hack.

Super Kaizo World is considered one of the hardest collections of remastered Super Mario World levels conceived by man.
He agrees to record the play-through of the level live, and experience the hell that this particular level has to offer.

Because even vampires wouldn't dare take on Teddy Roosevelt.  Lack of conflict can make for a boring story.

Honestly, I just like movies that don't try to bullshit me.  With a title like "Abe Lincoln - Vampire Hunter", I know exactly what I'm getting.  The serious tone of the trailer is obviously tongue-in-cheek, and I just like it when personages of historical significance are re-imagined in ridiculous settings.

Post by: Sared on February 14, 2012, 03:55:54 am
A little bird told me this evening that if I 'Liked' the Facebook page for Tribes Ascend, I could get a beta key. Re-activated my Facebook account long enough to do exactly that and I am pleased to report that I was not disappointed. Even if you don't like the concept of F2P games, I believe that Hi-Rez has put together a reasonable and fair approach to their purchasable offerings.

Chief among these offerings is their choice to make all classes/weapons/perks that are purchasable via gold (purchased with real money) are also purchasable via XP (gained through play). I believe that this is crucial for a proper F2P game to work, ensuring that the best upgrades are universally available. Likewise, upgrading perks and abilities can only be done by spending XP, which I believe helps to ensure a fair reward for paid and free players alike. Purchase incentivization is straight-forward, and simple; by making a single purchase, regardless of the amount, players gain a permanent 50% XP boost, VIP servers, as well as a bonus period of boosted XP gains.

The concept of Free-To-Play (F2P) games is one that I've struggled with over the years. Many attempts have been made at it in the past, but usually ham-handedly so, what with paying players having a decisive edge over non-paying players. In my opinion, this approach is much fairer in it's treatment of both sides of the equation by simply making purchases a shortcut to unlocking rewards.

An important side note: I haven't played enough to make a solid call on this, but insofar as I can tell, the base three classes you are given access to stand on equal ground with all of the other classes. Unlocking any reward does not necessarily give you an direct, static advantage, so much as it gives you more options. More ways to play the game.

Of special mention is the movement system: combining the jetpacks of the original Tribes with a 'Skiing' movement system ensures an intense amount of mobility, allowing even the heavier classes to traverse large maps with ease.

Even if you have no desire to put up money for in-game rewards, an intense and competitive shooter like this being available for FREE is worth spending the time to download and try out for a few rounds to see what has been made. Having played the original Tribes, I walked away from the experience satisfied simply by seeing the revival of the 'shoot fast, run faster' flavor of FPS that Tribes Ascend has to offer.

This was actually a book first.. and actually a pretty decent read if you are bored..

It is one of many books coming out as an ALT history novel.. I think it all started with the steampunk craze..
some of the stuff is good and some is NOT.. I heard pride prejudice and zombies (which I think falls under this category) was extremely well done..

So, honestly, I think this movie will actually be done as a "serious action vampire movie"... I mean.. cant be worse than Twilight right?

For those of you that have heard me rant about a little game called Bastion, and happen to use Google Chrome, the folks over at Supergiant have released a demo of Bastion as a Google Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oohphhdkahjlioohbalmicpokoefkgid). It's a short game (maybe 4-5 hours tops to beat), well-crafted, and worth checking out just to hear the wonderful narration.

So the other week i bought an RC helicopter... It's my first. I bought way over my head, but it's how I usually do things. I was at least wise to buy something that would be relatively easy and cheap to repair - sure glad I did.
I wasn't trying to fly it - i was just trying to spool it up and make sure it worked fine, but it got away from me and I hit stuff...

Things I broke in the first hour after getting this:
Top frame mount
Tailboom mount
Main gear (stripped in some places)
One ball linkage
Rotors
Stripped servos (expected to do this, as it came with cheap plastic ones)

Got my parts in today and it took me about 2 hours to fix it up. Again, I'm new to this so it's the first time I've worked on an RC this intricate, but I love engineering things and learning them.
The only part I still have to get are new metal gear servos, so I wont bother flying this thing until at least then.

"When they play, their sessions are absurd," Greg Zeschuk, head of BioWare Austin, the studio leading continued development of the game told me during a recent interview. "What it implies is that we've managed to pull off this 'just-one-more-quest, just-one-more-thing' feeling. I find myself doing that all the time. I just get sucked back in. The playing of the game is off the charts."

YES!  This was me last night at 2:00AM when I've got to be at work at 8:00AM, asking in TS what a fast way to get 30k XP so I can hit the next level before going to sleep.

There are some pretty amazing options now for ~$100. I've even seen a deal for a mini 6ch (can fly upside down) with a nice Tx for about $160: http://www.xheli.com/walkeraheli-geniuscp-devo7-rtf-24g.html
Mine one cost me about $160 initially, and I've so far put about another $150 into it with parts and accessories.

In hindsight, I should have gotten the one I linked. It's smaller and lighter, meaning less likely to break, and it has a nicer Tx (that's where most of the cost to it are). Only downside is that it would be a bit more work to fly outside. Heavier helis aren't affected by wind as much.

3. Learn to fly well
4. Add a camera, like http://www.hobbypartz.com/86p-988-dice-minicam.html

Fuse, my buddy is really into RC air stuff.  The shit is hard man.  What he did to keep himself from breaking everything is he got this program/sim that has an adapter where you use your actual control or radio or whatever it's called to fly the sim.  He said that he had to log TONS of hours in the sim to even begin doing real world flight stuff.

It's definitely not traditional dubstep, but more the redheaded step-child of dubstep known as "brostep".

I can't stand a lot of dubstep, and I chalk it up to me being too stupid to understand it.  Brostep tends to incorporate more breakbeats and melody.  It's just easier for me to wrap my head around.

Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on March 12, 2012, 02:04:46 pm
Never. The heli I got is a 6ch capable of doing that shit, but I am not.

In fact, 15 minutes after getting it charged up, I hit something and broke a tail mount and my blades before ti even got off the ground.
Bought parts, read a lot, balanced everything, installed new servos, and tried again. On second spoolup, the training gear popped off the mount and flew across my buddy's yard - next time he mows his lawn he'll find a piece of it.
I said "awwww what the hell, let's pull the rest of the training gear off and give it a shot!

20seconds of flight later a wind gust (mixed with my novice flight sim skills) crashed it again. This time breaking the main frame, canopy, and the replacement tail mount.

Today the mailman was supposed to deliver my new frame, tail mount, metal tailboom support, and canopy, but it isn't here. Boo.

Bottom line: Not gonna happen. I'm fixing this one, and either shelving it for a few years or selling it. Tomorrow I'm buying the coax version of this one... the Lama 400D.

1. Disassemble!

So I'm shelving this until I learn to really fly.
And to do that, I just bought a LAMA 400D (http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/attachments/3/3/8/7/9/9/a4678352-119-lama%20sell%20016.jpg).

I still don't understand why you bought a second helicopter to learn how to fly the first one...


Also, what's the one in the middle?
Title: randomness
Post by: Fuse on March 20, 2012, 02:43:16 pm
The first one I got is a collective pitch flybarless heli. A bit more advanced. I'm pretty sure the issue I had was the setup of the swash though.

I got the second because it's a coaxial heli. Much more stable and easier to fly. Once I learn the basics and hand/eye coordination and spacial reference skills I can move up. The one in the middle is the same as the one on the right, but only for parts.

Post by: Sared on March 23, 2012, 11:15:59 pm
Without giving any spoilers...

Hunger Games was...well...

Insofar as book-to-movie translations go, it's one of the best I've seen to date; ranking up there with the works of Jackson/Tolkien, Noyce/Clancy, or even Robinson/Clancy. (I liked Sum of All Fears more than Clear and Present Danger, blow me.)

Cinematically speaking, it's on the level with Twilight and Transformers. Fun and entertaining in it's visual portrayal of the characters and their individual dilemmas, but overall manages to do nothing interesting or meaningful.

Long story short: the movie ran for too damn long and did not deliver the sort of quality as a movie that normally runs that long. I was happy to see several scenes that I found emotionally or visually impactful from the book translated well to the silver screen, but just as easily disappointed to see as many scenes butchered and drained of their humanity from said transition.

Publix... Listed on Forbes list of best places to work for 15 consecutive years. Privately held, free stocks, great 401k (though matching is a bit less than I get now), and many retire as millionaires without putting much effort into it. Meanwhile, the other company in Austin I interviewed with is essentially a startup and I'm really wanting to get out of the big corporate world.

BTW, I would work at google for about a day to get it on my resume, then book it unless I was working on very interesting cutting edge stuff. While they appease the masses, I couldn't stand 60 hour work weeks again.

I do not trust the random numbers SWTOR is generating in game for divvying up raid drops. Instead I propose we use true quantum random numbers from now on!

http://150.203.48.55/Matrix.php

Quote
The random numbers are generated in real-time in our lab by measuring the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum. The vacuum is described very differently in the quantum mechanical context than in the classical context. Traditionally, a vacuum is considered as a space that is empty of matter or photons. Quantum mechanically, however, that same space resembles a sea of virtual particles appearing and disappearing all the time. This results in the fact that the vacuum does not possess a zero-point energy, and consequently the electo-magnetic field describing this vacuum possesses random fluctuations in phase and amplitude at all frequencies. By carefully measuring these fluctuations, we are able to generate ultra-high bandwidth random numbers.

Apparently this was a genuine question in a recent New York standardised test.  All I can say is W...T...F

Quote
... The Pineapple and the Hare ...

In the olden times, animals could speak English, just like you and me. There was a lovely enchanted forest that flourished with a bunch of these magical animals. One day, a hare was relaxing by a tree. All of a sudden, he noticed a pineapple sitting near him.
The hare, being magical and all, told the pineapple, "Um, hi." The pineapple could speak English too.
"I challenge you to a race! Whoever makes it across the forest and back first wins a ninja! And a lifetime's supply of toothpaste!" The hare looked at the pineapple strangely, but agreed to the race.
The next day, the competition was coming into play. All the animals in the forest (but not the pineapples, for pineapples are immobile) arranged a finish/start line in between two trees. The coyote placed the pineapple in front of the starting line, and the hare was on his way.
Everyone on the sidelines was bustling about and chatting about the obvious prediction that the hare was going to claim the victory (and the ninja and the toothpaste). Suddenly, the crow had a revolutionary realization.
"AAAAIEEH! Friends! I have an idea to share! The pineapple has not challenged our good companion, the hare, to just a simple race! Surely the pineapple must know that he CANNOT MOVE! He obviously has a trick up his sleeve!" exclaimed the crow.
The moose spoke up.
"Pineapples don't have sleeves."
"You fool! You know what I mean! I think that the pineapple knows we're cheering for the hare, so he is planning to pull a trick on us, so we look foolish when he wins! Let's sink the pineapple's intentions, and let's cheer for the stupid fruit!" the crow passionately proclaimed. The other animals cheered, and started chanting, "FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN!"
A few minutes later, the hare arrived. He got into place next to the pineapple, who sat there contently. The monkey blew the tree-bark whistle, and the race began! The hare took off, sprinting through the forest, and the pineapple ...
It sat there.
The animals glanced at each other blankly, and then started to realize how dumb they were. The pineapple did not have a trick up its sleeve. It wanted an honest race - but it knew it couldn't walk (let alone run)!
About a few hours later, the hare came into sight again. It flew right across the finish line, still as fast as it was when it first took off. The hare had won, but the pineapple still sat at his starting point, and had not even budged.
The animals ate the pineapple.

Here are two of the questions:
1. Why did the animals eat the pineapple?
a. they were annoyed
b. they were amused
c. they were hungry
d. they wanted to
2. Who was the wisest?
a. the hare
b. moose
c. crow
d. owl

Yeah, I've seen this article in news feeds a number of times now. What a misleading headline... as if in 'normal' economic times it is nowhere near this high. Even the article says, "In 2000, the share was at a low of 41 percent." That's still 41% that couldn't find a job. So anyone who told someone a college degree (major non-discriminatory) would get you a job was a liar.

How? How would that even be possible? I don't want to de-value Bethesda's experience as a developer, but they don't exactly have a very extensive pool of multiplayer titles that leads me to believe that they know what they are doing. Not unless they buy another dev house, brand it, and call it "Bethesda Austin" or some shit.

Making an MMO is hard. Making a good MMO is harder. This, is a money grab.

a new studio called ZeniMax Online has been created for this game.  Apparently it has been worked on for a few years already, which is pretty much the same as when SW:TOR announced.

The few bits that have dribbled out haven't been very promising.  They've stuck with the traditional trifecta (healer, tank, dps) along with hotbars and alike.  I believe even the developer has quoted it as being "World of Warcraft mechanics".

At present the only thing going for it is the lore.  Others might be interested in the 3 faction PvP and non-instanced dungeons.  But, I would argue they've been done before, and done better it other games.

Oh, and announcement trailer can be found here http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/05/04/elder-scrolls-online-trailer-released/

Usual Elder Scrolls stuff with the trailer though.

This reminds me of an engineering lecture series I was at where the presenter put up a slide of "the most innovative people in history" on it; with the usual Edison, Da Vinci, etc etc... but it also had Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg on there while absent Nikola Telsa. I distinctly remember a Physics professor standing up, interrupting the speaker and shouting across the "Where the hell is Nikola Telsa on that list!?" and the entire hall stood up and applauded.

I read this, and their reasoning for doing it makes absolutely no sense.

"Oh, Alan Scott is going to be younger in this New 52 storyline, so he can't have kids.  So Obsidian, his gay son, doesn't exist.  Let's just make Alan gay instead."

I was really excited up until the combat portion.  The character is portrayed as a covert, shadowy, technological mastermind... but then he cracks a guy's skull in a crowded club, and then shoots someone in the face in the middle of a busy street.  Way to be discreet, idiot.

I want to play a character who can outsmart their opponents rather than out-tough them.  I loved building a sneaky character in Deus Ex, but it was always ruined when I had to clumsily brute force my way through a boss fight.

Still, the environments and AI look incredible.  And new IP's are always nice to see among the swaths of sequels.  Looking forward to more.

This was more or less the only thing holding back HR for me. The out-of-place boss fights that broke my immersion (in spite of my much-practiced suspension-of-disbelief) faster than a smile leaves the face of an alcoholic who realizes his surprise birthday party is an intervention.

While I can appreciate that Ubisoft is aiming for a more 'realistic' approach (using a setting and mechanics system that, while not quite possible, are in fact very plausible-big hook for me), what I'm more interested in seeing is the AI behavior and interaction. The way the doorman might tag you had he not disrupted communications, dialogue options based on what you may have learned/researched on an individual.

Oh, and the main character's interaction with the guy in the club who hands him the gun. I ate that up. Moar please.

The game looks fucking awesome. Requires cursing.

I'm guessing here... but I think the lack of silent assassination was more to show incredible sections of the  game. Clearly, the mission trigger is listening in on the phone call in the night club, but could you have the fight in the night club with a silent weapon? If the traffic lights/crash sequence was .... improvised, could any method of getting the target be improvised everywhere? A bit like assassins creed, there could be a silent way, a very flambouant way, or a very messy way.

That, and it could've been an early story element, where you are not quite an assassin yet..


I don't know much about it, and about to go look... but it's this video means it makes my list.

I've been playing off and on for a while. Very fun game, but certainly has the potential to get you angry. I played for about 2 days on my first play-through; built up lots of ammo and a new pack then got killed by a bugged out zombie that was hitting me from underground.

Since then, I've basically decided to just go around killing anything that moves. Being a bandit is much more fun in the end with that game. Trying to play nice works, but only if you're in a larger group. Playing solo can get you backstabbed 9 times out of 10 when you meet someone else.

Awesome stuff coming out of comic con - shortly, what I found:

*Q in the new Bond is a young guy.
*New red Dead Redemption is teased (really surprised about this).
*Arkham City sequel will be a prequel, focusing on how Batman and the Joker meet (pretty interesting, seeing how AC finished), and introduces JLA members. It has been said that it'll be set in the 'Silver Age' style of the comics (50's to 80's).
*Injustice looks fucking awesome.

Guy Gets So Mad With Internet Service Provider He Breaks Into the Company Wielding an Axe
 Jesus Diaz
I've had my share of frustrating episodes with Internet Service Providers, but never to the point of hacking into their servers three times in one day, deleting data, walking into their office wielding an axe and threatening the owner with it. That's what Bryce Kingsley Quilley did.

The 29-year-old man from Tailem Bend, South Australia, pleaded guilty to all these charges:

three counts of unlawful modification of computer data, one aggravated count of threatening to cause harm and one aggravated count of threatening to damage property.

Oh yes, that too: after threatening the owner he also told him he was going to burn the whole building down. Clearly, this wins over the man who destroyed that T-Mobile shop in Britain.

Did any ISP or telephone company make you this mad? Tell us in the comments. [Herald Sun (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/hacker-threatened-net-provider-with-axe/story-fndo471r-1226427155358)]

Saw TDKR last night as well.  Got a woman removed from the theater for bringing in her crying infant half way through the movie.  Management was totally cool and had no problem asking her to leave.

I enjoyed it, but not as much as I enjoyed Dark Knight, despite its plot holes.  Ledger's Joker fascinated and intrigued me on a level that Hardy's Bane just couldn't touch.  All-in-all though, it seemed like a logical conclusion to the story.  

And I'm actually looking forward to Man of Steel.  If Zack Snyder is kept far, far away from the script and sticks solely to the visuals, it looks like it could be good.
Title: randomness
Post by: Subb on July 24, 2012, 03:59:46 pm
I agree that bane is no where near as fascinating as the Joker, but I believe that hardy did a fantastic performance, that is on par with ledger. He had to act with a mask on, therefore his body language and eyes were his only tool.

Bale also impressed me - I felt sorry for Bruce wayne for the first time. I actually felt distressed when bane and batman first met and fought.

I felt like that was a unnecessary at best, and forced at worst.  It would have been the exact same scene if it were someone else.

What drove me absolutely insane was:

Quote from: "Spoiler Alert"
90% of the film was built around Bane as Batman's ultimate nemesis.  Surpassing him in both brains and brawn.  Then he is killed and replaced with a less interesting, less developed character who has the exact same motives as him.  And then she is killed just a few minutes later.  It ultimately made no difference that Tate was the actual villain all along.  It all felt like a big "fuck you" to the audience.

You're absolutely right.  I was actually quite disappointed in the movie.  Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed it.  But it's my opinion that it's the weakest of the trilogy.
But what do I know?  I still think the 89 Tim Burton film was the best Batman film.

On the Batman movie...

The Dark Knight was over-hyped garbage. It amazes me how messed up people are when they idolize a rich, self-destroying, selfish, drugged out, movie star--who happened to kill himself. And then have the sense to call his performance a work of 'art'. All I saw was a drugged out man with some face paint who had the ability to run his hands through his hair and lick his lips oddly from time to time. Jack Nicholson can sleep easy, and admittedly so, that Ledger had nothing extraordinary on him over his character portrayal.

Now, that I pissed a good majority of you off... I thought the last movie in the trilogy was much much better than the second and still just short or tied with the first. It was a complex story but managed to focused on one villain and didn't get burdened down by others. It managed to stay true to pieces and stories from the actual comics with the exception of one major gaffe at the end. Robin, as a first name? Seriously? Overall, I enjoyed this one more. That is all.

I've never seen 'The Fountain' but it must be a damn good movie at a run-time of 96 minutes to even have a chance to compete with this. And if this is what 'The Matrix' was to 'Dark City', I'll take Matrix any day.

I don't understand how 'Sucker Punch' has any relevance to this either. 'Sucker Punch' was an exercise of Zack Snyder showing off the size of his penis. All effects with no story or substance.

Just watched the director's commentary video.  I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not until I could confirm that that was in fact Larry (Lana) Wachowski sitting in the middle.  She's like a caricature or parody of what a trans-gendered person would be.  Like a bad SNL character.  In fact, that whole video feels like an SNL skit.

That was weird.  Where am I?  Is this real?

Didn't say it was a bad trailer, just nothing new. Particularly the multiple timelines/incarnations of characters/relationships.

I guess there is some variance in that, I'm just glad it's biasing high. I actually have the lowest tier of the "Quantum" plans, which go up to 300/65.

Do I need that fat of a pipe? Probably not, but I view it as though I'm supporting the growth of the technology. Also, you never know, at the last LAN party I hosted we had 13 computers going over the internet to play BFBC2. At the same time my wife was streaming netflix in HD, I was playing a youtube playlist in the background, myself and at least two other people were using torrent programs, while yet two more simultaneously bought, downloaded, installed and patched BFBC2 in under 20 minutes. Also fiddled with google+ hangout with video chat, so people who couldn't make it to the LAN could see what they were missing.

Have Time Warner right now and I've been having issues out the ass the last month or two. Everything's fine according to them on my end, and I keep arguing that it's something to do with the node I'm being routed through in Dallas.

You don't have to read the whole thing, just the line at the bottom, which I felt sums up my animosity toward tedious math proofs. Apologies in advance if I've pissed off any math majors in the crowd.

The guy is clearly, as Sared said, a very talented troll.  There is no way that wrapping one insulated wire around another insulated wire will double your internet speed.  But he takes the trouble to write out a bunch of complex math (which is probably bullshit) so people will think he knows what he's talking about.

In actuality, what he's doing is bolting a second engine onto the hood of a car, and claiming that it will double the car's fuel efficiency.

His youtube profile plainly states that most of his videos are fake and intended to be jokes.

Post by: Sared on August 13, 2012, 07:01:08 am
It honestly depends entirely on what you are doing, where you are doing it, and at what time of the day; primarily due to player population and packet size. For instance, questing solo with nobody else in the area only takes 1-3 kbp/s (with about 70-80% of that being download bandwidth). PVP? Much more, what with constantly moving players and actions being registered and updated. (Couldn't get into a WZ at time of posting to check.)

I did parkour with this guy a few years ago, and he just released this video that he's been working on for a couple months.  He's working towards becoming a professional stuntman.

I'm a big fan of the AC series, I think he should of gone a different more unique route with his chosen costume. AC + Parkour to me at least feels pretty "ah that's cool, what have you done that's original?"

That being said, I'm not knocking the guy in any way as the video demonstrated some pretty decent talent in the Parkour aspect of things. I'm happy to hear he's trying to turn a fun and healthy activity into a career, that sounds very exciting.

I have always wanted to dabble - excel in parkour, it's just finding the time these days to do anything at all aside from work, eating and sleeping.

Edit: I thought I saw this guy very recently while catching a youtube video. I believe your friend is also in this video.

Yep, that's him.

I'll admit, parkour looks incredibly lame from the outside. But it really is great exercise.  I was head of the Utah PK community for a few years which was a lot of fun but also a lot of work. I didn't anticipate it taking off so quickly and eventually I had to just call it quits as real life took over. The community is still here, and I pop my head in every few months or so to lurk their forums, but a lot of the founding members have moved on as well.  I may pick it up again just to keep myself in shape.

I'm cautiously optimistic.  But goddamnit I'm hopeful.

I just don't have the energy anymore to get hyped about games before they've launched.  I've resigned to waiting for the dust to settle and the rose-colored glasses to come off.  Wait for the community to thin out and really establish itself.  Wait for bugs to get patched and fat to be trimmed.  Wait for the level of polish and refinement that is never available at launch.

Man, I'm bitter.

A true cyberpunk sandbox would be awesome.  A persistent yet malleable virtual universe that relies on the player to shape it with their experiences.  If it has multiplayer functionality similar to Minecraft, I will cum in my pants.

Uh, if you weren't so brainwashed by the CIA Cyber Drones, you would know that they have to say it is satire because it's the only way The Others (yes, same ones from Lost - they are REAL) won't take it down. If they think she's just babbling nonsense, then they'll leave her alone!

It's just like the Matrix. You gotta look for the REAL meaning behind the fake meaning. She PRETENDS to be coked out and mentally ill and uses bad grammar and CAPS LOCK so that the Others will think it is harmless while she is able to bring forth her message that she is an angel that has been elevated to the 5th dimension.

My brother got this for me as an early Xmas present:

SanDisk ReadyCache 32 GB (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Desktop-Caching-SSD-SDSSDRC-032G-G26/dp/B008U3038I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351665363&sr=8-1&keywords=ready+expresscache).

32 gigs isn't much, but it's actually helping quite a bit! It caches your most used applications onto an SSD drive. The software works in the background and automatically adjusts based on what you keep using. It's already sped up my boot time, applications, and even gaming. It was on sale for $40. Obviously the best option is to just get an SSD, but if you're strapped for cash and you don't want to do a new install on a new drive, this is a pretty good alternative!

Couldn't sleep. Wrote this. Need to tweak it later. Open to suggestions on rhythm and syntax.

Now this is a story all about how
My game got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the scoundrel that Imps come to fear

Iiiin space lanes and freighters, born and raised
In hyperspace, is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all chill
And shipping some treasures, who's value was ill
When this dude called Skavak
The ladies he did enchant
Made off with my ship and went to Coruscant
I got one good look before Corso declared
"There goes your ship, and he took my hardware!"

I went down to the fort and hit up big man Viidu
He was tossing back drinks, convinced that we're screwed
When I said "Don't sweat man, I got it under control!"
He said "Rogun the Butcher will see our heads roll."

I fought seperatist, imps, creatures big and small
Played some cards and then got into a nasty brawl
Saw skylines and sewers and Twi'leks in bars
Before I snatched my ship back and went out to the stars

I pulled up to the fleet about level fifteen
And I hollared at Risha "Sweet cheeks, catch ya later!"
I looked at my warzones
I was finally here
To backblast some imps, as a scoundrel they fear

So, what're the chances that Disney decides, "Hey, there is no reason two Star Wars MMOs can't exist at the same time," and brings back SWG?

A guy can dream.  I long for the days of JTL space combat and large planet maps on which you could build your own cities.

Even Disney, as a primarily film enterprise, could do better than Bioware's debacle.

I never played SWG pre-NGE, but the stories people tell make me wish I had.  They talk about the businesses they started, or the cities they built and defended.  It's always about how they created their own world (http://furiousfanboys.com/2011/12/swg-memories/) within the game, rather than just letting the game exist around them.

At any rate, I think TOR has started the ball rolling on the genre abandoning the same-old-same-old themeparks that it has been churning out for over a decade.  ~$200 million from two industry giants spent on something that only roughly half a million people felt was worth paying for?  That is just not sustainable.

SOE is now looking into sandbox gameplay (http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/26/some-assembly-required-why-soe-should-be-leading-the-sandbox-ch/), and I really hope more developers follow suit.  The genre can do better than always building a bigger gear treadmill.

A detailed breakdown of TOR's F2P (more like "pay to enjoy") system:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFDESAIkmlE

Highlights:

- Previous subscribers looking to come back need to resub by Dec. 20th if they want their "complimentary" cartel coins.  In other words, pay money in order to get your "free" cartel coins.  This probably gives EA the chance to pad their subscriber numbers for the next quarterly earnings call.
- Non-subs are limited to 2 quickslot bars.  Additional bars can be purchased for $3.50 per bar, per character.
- 2 character slots with race limitations.  So while you get the leveling content for free, 90% of which is side quests, you'll need to delete several characters you spent 60+ hours on in order to play through all the class stories.
- 1 chat message per minute.
- Non-subs pay an extra 25% in credits and commendations for in-game items.
- Credits and commendations caps.  Additionally earned credits go into an escrow account that can only be access by subscribing.
- Only 2 crew skills for non-subscribers.  This makes crafting impossible.
- $3.50 per character to unlock "hide headslot" and "unify colors" features.
- Can't display titles without purchasing the unlock per character.
- Can't customize companions (meh).
- Can't wear purples.  As far as I'm concerned, this makes it pay-to-win.
- Non-subs are limited to 3 loot rolls (not loot wins) per week.
- Can't run operations without purchasing a weekly pass.  You're S.O.L. if you buy a weekly pass and your ops group fails to show up that week.
- 5 flashpoints and warzones per week with limited rewards.  Full rewards and more flashpoints/warzones can be purchased with a weekly pass.  Ranked warzones are completely unavailable to non-subs.
- Non-subs are severely limited to certain emotes and other animations without buying them individually.

Fantastic.  Rather than making the game better for subscribers, they're just making it worse for potential new customers.

This seems pretty in line with other games I've played that have gone f2p. The quick bar, chat limit, and loot limit seems excessive. Everything else I've seen in other games.

Just a note - crafting is definitely viable with 2 crafting professions only.

So, giving someone another incentive other than all the new content they've released to come back is seen as "paying money"? Sorry, you've lost me. It doesn't cost EA/Bioware to give anyone these Cartel Coins. So, yes, they're free. I don't see why this is a big deal.
- Non-subs are limited to 2 quickslot bars.  Additional bars can be purchased for $3.50 per bar, per character.
Until I reached level 50 I never really needed to use more than 2 hotbars. I look at my level 42 Guardian and, while he has 4 quickbars, there is a lot of unused space. It hardly impacts of the quality of life in the game.
- 2 character slots with race limitations.  So while you get the leveling content for free, 90% of which is side quests, you'll need to delete several characters you spent 60+ hours on in order to play through all the class stories.So, you're telling me that someone who isn't eventually going to subscribe, is going to level more than 2 characters to 50 and continue to not subscribe? Sound logic on that one, Manic.
- 1 chat message per minute.Gold farmers.
- Non-subs pay an extra 25% in credits and commendations for in-game items. Good incentive to subscribe.
- Credits and commendations caps.  Additionally earned credits go into an escrow account that can only be access by subscribing. I still have caps on commendations and everything as a subscriber. The only thing I don't have a cap on is my credits.
- Only 2 crew skills for non-subscribers.  This makes crafting impossible. I can do plenty of crafting with just 2 crew skills.
- $3.50 per character to unlock "hide headslot" and "unify colors" features. Boo-fucking-hoo.
- Can't display titles without purchasing the unlock per character.See above.
- Can't customize companions (meh). See above.
- Can't wear purples.  As far as I'm concerned, this makes it pay-to-win. I leveled most of my characters to 50 using blues and below. The only person this really affects is a level 50 trying to min-max... and if you're trying to min-max, you're probably eventually going to subscribe.
- Non-subs are limited to 3 loot rolls (not loot wins) per week. Meh. A little excessive. I don't know in what context you mean loot rolls, however, so I'm reserving judgment on that.
- Can't run operations without purchasing a weekly pass.  You're S.O.L. if you buy a weekly pass and your ops group fails to show up that week. Boo fucking hoo.
- 5 flashpoints and warzones per week with limited rewards.  Full rewards and more flashpoints/warzones can be purchased with a weekly pass.   Ranked warzones are completely unavailable to non-subs. Boo-fucking-hoo.
- Non-subs are severely limited to certain emotes and other animations without buying them individually.Boo-fucking-hoo.

Fantastic.  Rather than making the game better for subscribers, they're just making it worse for potential new customers.


Manic, I'm going to say this as nicely as possible. You stopped playing the game in February. Since then, they have made the game better for subscribers. Actually, a lot better. The quality of life in the game is much better now than it was in February, so your underlying assertion that the game hasn't become better is moot. Why are you still talking about the game 10 months later like you have any sort of clue what's going on? You talking poorly about SWTOR doesn't make me want to come to play EVE or Secret World anymore than I did before I saw your post. I know you don't like us playing SWTOR. That's fine. But don't talk about the game like you know the ins and outs of exactly what's going on.

In addition, if you actually knew anything about the game, you would know that they have a separate team working on all of this stuff so as to not distract from actual game development. Since their promise to release content every 6 weeks, they have actually stuck to it. I think it might have been 7 weeks this cycle, but I as a subscriber am happy.

The point of free to play is to give people a taste of the game so that they eventually end up paying the $15 a month. It is not to give them the full game for free. In fact, this F2P model is probably one of the biggest free leases non-subscribers could ever have to a major MMO. I played LOTRO as free to play, and you couldn't even get past level 20 without either spending a ton of time grinding to get unlocks or paying for additional content. There is nothing like this in WoW, GuildWars, or any other major game right now. Seriously. You can level all the way to 50 just fine and enjoy literally hours of entertainment for free.

Notice - nothing has changed for subscribers. Literally, nothing. Nothing affects how I, as a subscriber, will do warzones or raids or flashpoints or leveling alts or hanging out with my friends in FA. In fact, my quality of life has FURTHER increased from this because I was given free cartel coins to buy shit instead of spending my credits. BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR US AS SUBSCRIBERS. I don't see, in any way, how opening up the game to even MORE people and having a larger market could somehow make the game worse or be seen as a bad thing.

Now, I know you didn't assert that, but there seems to be a stigma attached to games going F2P and you posted this list of changes that make Bioware/EA look like greedy robber barons sucking the lives out of the people that can't be fucking arsed to pay $15 a month for a game that has hours upon hours of content. F2P is not meant to be a viable option to fully enjoying everything SWTOR has to offer - it is simply a mechanic to attract an even wider customer base in order to make more money and potentially enlist further subscribers.
Title: randomness
Post by: Strod on November 18, 2012, 04:36:32 pm
Well I guess the thing to take away here is, we all have our own opinions. I wouldn't agree you need play a game to be able to pass judgment on it, if you dedicate some serious research and YouTube trolling, but it is still impractical.

I have a Love/Hate relationship with the game personally, but I don't have enough free time to dedicate to the game anyways. If I did, I would still play just because It's where we are currently at.

I do agree with A lot of Manic's points, but it's how the current game industry does things. The best experience always comes from Paying for a PTP game, the FTP aspects of the same game will always be lack luster and not ideal. However, I have never seen so many options to buy little parts of the game such as Chat, Quick bars etc. That's a money grab plain and fucking simple, however if you are going to pay half a months sub for a few features on one character, just sub for a month.

At the end of the day, the reason we are all not named Tbone, Broin, Manic, Ana, or Mharz is because we all different and not the same and have variable preferences on well... everything.

That sums up a lot of it for me. SWTOR has not gone F2P in the truest sense, but instead have added a F2P option. Someone that might have played the game in the past will notice the difference, a new player won't. The new player will see what's available to subscribers and hopefully be incentivized to monetize.

If as a subscriber you feel you're truly getting your money's worth, then nothing I said should bother you in the least.

I no longer play the game, but I do still follow its development very closely.  Because, and this is the god's honest truth, I want to like the game, because I want to get back to gaming with all of you guys.  But after $200 million dollars, the best Bioware could do was WoW with lightsabers.  That's just not something I think is worth playing, even for free.

I accept that plenty of people are enjoying the game.  I don't understand it, but I accept it.

Acknowledge the Expanded "Star Wars" Universe
Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries have created hundreds, if not thousands, of "Star Wars" stories in the years since the original trilogy was released. The "Star Wars" universe canon has expanded exponentially thanks to countless novels, comic books, video games, and animated series, so much so that creator George Lucas even had to weigh in on occasion. When an author decided that a major character needed to be killed off in the 1999 sequel novel "Vector Prime," Lucas had to sign off on loveable Wookiee Chewbacca getting the axe. He signed Chewie's death warrant! And when Lucas needed to name the Republic capitol planet for the prequels, he had to call it Coruscant, as that had been the planet's name in the novels for nearly a decade by that point. The expanded "Star Wars" universe has added many wonderful stories and characters to the galaxy far, far away. Using (or at least referencing) some of those characters, locales, or story events in the sequel films will not only please long time fans of the series, but it will also give the writers some extra material to work with.

The Secret World is now F2P with an optional subscription.  Free players get unlimited access to all of the game's content, while subscribers get extra benefits such as a re-usable XP boost (1 hour duration, 16 hour cool-down), a monthly allotment of Funcom points to use in the store, and a 10% discount on all store items.

http://www.thesecretworld.com/news/subscription_no_longer_required

Future content will come in the form of optional DLC to be purchased with Funcom points.  The next of which will be released in January for $5.  Anyone with a registered/paid game account before the end of 2012 will receive the January update for free.  

Regular patches with some new content (probably new store items) will be released regularly at no extra charge.

EDIT: Looks like it is following the GW2 model.  You still need to purchase the game upfront, but no sub fee is required after that initial purchase.

I was skeptical about another Supes movie, but this trailer really changed my mind.

Humanity's reaction to a living god, and the god's struggle to gain the acceptance of mortals.  With Nolan and Goyer on the script, and Snyder on visuals, it's going to rock.

(http://i.imgur.com/pns3t.gif)

The fact that this is even being investigated is mind-boggling to me.  This means we have the ability to scientifically test the reality of reality, even at a small scale.  But if we are actually living in a simulation, why would the creator (programmer?) give us the means to learn the truth?  And if we did learn the truth, could we then do anything about it?  Or would we just break down into a global riot because hey, nothing matters anyway.  But then wouldn't it stand to reason that breaking down into a global riot was just part of our programming from the beginning?  If the programmer knows what is going to happen, then why run the simulation at all?  What is stopping him from hitting Alt+F4?  DOES HE HAVE BACKUP POWER IN CASE OF A SURGE?!

Seriously, imagine if all these really smart people ran these tests, and then came out with the announcement that the evidence for us living in a simulated reality was greater than the evidence against.  What the ever-loving fuck?!  Imagine if the entire human race was suddenly paralyzed with an existential crisis.  Billions of people frozen in place, afraid to take another step because they can't know if it's them making the step, or the simulation.  The sound of their breathing suddenly becomes incredibly loud as they realize that even that is just part of the program.  Mass extinction as a result of crippling depression at the realization that everything we've ever known about everything has been a lie.

This shit is terrifying.  I may not get anything done today.  Thanks, Ash.

Haha, this is my theory. If there ever was a "God", he was just a bored teenager playing with his "ancient universe sim" game and then got bored and got a dog or something. I don't really believe in the concept of "perfection", in that a deity is perfect and automatically makes every best decision. If anything, the deity is perfect because what he says goes, and mortals just have to suck it up.

I'd say the biggest thing I can think of against this is that if we are ever able to evolve to creating realistic simulated life, by that point in time we will have evolved enough to wipe each other out (by the time The Sims game is this realistic, the earth will be nuked to death).

But what if we could find the computer code in our nature? Oh wait, we already have:

In The Matrix Reloaded, when Neo found himself in the mountains at the Merovingian's chateau, Link told him that Morpheus and Trinity were "500 miles due south" in the middle of the city.

In The Matrix Revolutions, we see Neo breaking the sound barrier as he's racing to catch Trinity falling from a building.  He creates an audible sonic boom in his wake.

The speed of sound is 340 meters per second.  About 0.2 miles.

So assuming he's flying at at least the speed of sound in the scene in Reloaded, it would take Neo ~40 minutes to reach Morpheus and Trinity 500 miles away.

...And the entire chateau fight and the subsequent car chase happened simply because Persephone deliberately allowed one of the Lupines to escape.

For anyone that doesn't follow/care about Assassin's Creed that much (like me), I found this over the weekend:

Ubisoft announced their 'Tyranny of King Washington' DLC for Assassin's Creed 3. Ranks up there on premise alone for brilliance in historical fiction if you ask me, working under the precept that Washington was a cruel tyrant with political aspirations slightly more napoleonic in flavor.

Just finished watching "The Matrix De-Zionized".  It's a fan-edit of the sequels in which all scenes involving Zion have been removed.

The cuts are noticeable if you know when a scene in Zion is supposed to happen.  But it's pretty much the exact same thing with or without Zion.  Even with Revolutions taking place primarily within Zion as the machines attack, it's easy to see how most of it was ultimately unnecessary.

I get it now.  I get why everyone pretends these movies never happened.  I've awakened to the truth!  Oh god, my whole life has been a lie.

Both sequels are crammed into one.  Reloaded is a bit shorter, since they even bothered to shorten some of the longer fight sequences.  Revolutions is a lot shorter, since basically half the film involves the Zion/Machines war.  All together it lasts about two hours.

The point in all of it is that by cutting out all the stuff involving Zion, the focus remains entirely on Neo's journey.

THQ: Here is what happens to their franchise (http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/01/23/thq-dissolved-saints-row-company-of-heroes-darksiders-devs-acquired)

TL;DR

* SEGA has agreed to purchase Relic, developer of Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.
* Koch Media (owner of Dead Island publisher Deep Silver) has agreed to purchase Saints Row developer Volition as well as the publishing rights to the Metro franchise.
* Crytek, who is currently developing Homefront 2, has purchased the rights to the Homefront franchise.
* Take-Two (parent company of 2K and Rockstar) has agreed to purchase Turtle Rock Studios' project codenamed Evolve. (Update: While Take Two was initially rumored to have acquired Darksiders publisher Vigil, it has since been revealed that this isn't the case)
* Ubisoft has purchased the rights to publish South Park: The Stick of Truth (pending any further objections from South Park Studios) as well as THQ Montreal, the current developer of Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Desilets' project codenamed 1666.

Look for entry level IT Analyst/Admin-type positions. There are usually a shit-ton of openings and if you know anything about computers and show basic competence you'll probably be in the running. And you'll work regular hours and do whatever makes you happy on your weekends and evenings.

This group of girls came up to me about three quarters of the way through my shift when it has slowed down and ask to take a picture with me because I'm their "favorite" server. I would also like to note that they used a DSLR camera (so it was preplanned) and that, somewhere on the interwebs, there is a photo of my floating around IN A HAT.

e-Filed my Federal and State tax returns!

E-filing is a pain in my fucking ass - I've been taught my entire life how to fill out the actual forms, and all of these damn e-filing services want to ask you all these questions and make sure you're getting all the deductions/exemptions you're allowed. It's really frustrating knowing what you want to go on the form and not getting the weird tax software to accept what you know is correct. Process took me an hour and a half because I downloaded the PDF's from the respective government websites and filled them out myself, and then when I went to e-file, I wanted to just import the numbers over. Obviously, the systems won't allow you to do that. F that shit. I'm a Tax accountant for Christ's sake.

Well, I'm getting about $1,100 between Federal and State refunds. HELLLZ YEAH! Most of that will be going towards Spring Break/living expenses. I may have to go on a small shopping spree once I'm back from Spring Break, however...

Explain.


Definition of a linear transformation:
T(0) = 0
T(c1v1+...+cpvp) = c1T(v1)+...+cpT(vp)

When f(x) = mx + b, with b nonzero, f(0) = b which violates the first definition because every linear transformation maps the zero vector in its domain into the zero vector in the codomain.

Another argument, for instance, would be to calculate f(2x) = m(2x) + b and 2f(x) = 2mx + 2b. If b is nonzero, then f(2x) is not equal to 2f(x) and so f is not a linear transformation.

In calculus, f is called a "linear function" because the graph of f is a line.

Looks very interesting.  I'm digging the style of everything.  Mythic sci-fi mixed with post-apoc.  The concept art is beautiful.  Wish I could see some actual gameplay, though.

The FAQ (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/destiny-quick-faq) gives a bit more concrete information than the quotes from the devs.  Some of it is still speculation, though.  I was skeptical when reading the article, but became more intrigued after reading the FAQ.

I'm with Sared.  The game is on my radar, but I'm not ready to jump on the hype train just yet.

Lets look at these 'four pillars' that Bungie seems so intent on hammering out, shall we?


Pillar #1: A World Players Want to Be In

Post-Fallout Earth (a-fucking-gain), twist; aliens saved humanity from total extinction. This gives us a re-formatted Earth to work with as our backdrop and little need to re-invent certain cultural elements that a true sci-fi setting would call for. They want people to be playing this game for TEN, YEARS. We will see this world expanded upon, done in a way that either asks more questions or answers others; and if Bungie holds true to form, it'll be a hell of a lot more of the former than the latter to invite nerds a-plenty to speculate, co-create, and invest themselves into the Destiny mythos in order to rationalize answers. Why? Because we're nerds, and that's what we do god dammit.


Pillar #2: A Bunch of Fun Things to Do

LOLOL INSERT THEMEPARK ELEMENTS HERE


Pillar #3: Rewards Players Care About

LOLOL INSERT EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT REWARD SCHEDULES AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR HERE

To quote Jason Jones directly, their goal is to keep players coming back "day after day, week after week, month after month, [and] year after year."


Pillar #4: A New Experience Every Night

This, can go both of two ways and I'm highly skeptical. They use the phrase 'emergent activity' very specifically, and I'm quoting: "you get distracted from doing the thing you meant to do when you logged on."

The optimist in me registered that descriptor as a precise evaluation of my time in Eve. Shit is happening all the time, and there's always another puddle to go splash in. That they can capture this in Destiny is something that would delight me to no end. It's an ambitious goal, and I wish them the best of luck in capturing those elusive elements.

The pessimist in me recognizes the developer buzz-word Bingo sheet for 'our own interpretation of procedural generation' and is now actively working to give me diarrhea.

Confirmation bias.  We subconsciously filter out data that doesn't support our argument.

MxO was rife with e-thugs and racists.  Viral Vendetta, as a worst-case example, were some of the most pathetic wastes of oxygen that I've ever encountered in an online setting.  I believe it was Trucidos who got himself perma-banned for publicly stating on the forums that he hoped you, Tbone, had died in Hurricane Katrina.

Most of them kept it just civil enough to avoid consequence, often hiding their trash-talk behind the veil of roleplay.  People like to remember the MxO community fondly, but it wasn't without its share of trolls.

Subb is right.  You'll find these assholes in any online community because they are human beings who have been granted some measure of anonymity.  Maybe it's more prevalent in the FPS communities, but that hasn't kept us away from a good game of TF2.

Half an hour, and they even got Michael Mando, the actor that voices Vass in the game, to reprise the role in person. I thought it was well done and enjoyable, even if you haven't played the game.



Also, they have no respect for the fourth wall and I love it.

If you're heading to the tabletop already, why not go all the way and try D&D or similar game of its ilk (I prefer Pathfinder)?  That's certainly calm, and with the added benefit of being loads cheaper than Warhammer.
Title: randomness
Post by: Sared on March 01, 2013, 05:22:52 am
While I love different versions of D&D for different reasons, Pathfinder is a fantastic system with easy to learn mechanics and (imo) a lot more flexibility.

Alternatively, I have no idea what the Friday Night Magic scene looks like over there, but it might be worth looking into. Not hard to do on a budget I might add!
Title: randomness
Post by: Subb on March 01, 2013, 05:39:22 am
The only thing about D&D type games is that there are sweet eff all people/clubs/gatherings in my area. Warhammer 40K has totally amazing lore (thinking along the lines of going for the Grey Knights - Futuristic Daemon/Witch Hunters) and is much more accessible for me to walk into a store or a weekly club. However, I've always wanted to try a D&D. I'm a guy who will never dismiss or poo-poo something until I've tried it. Like golf. I fucking hate golf. It's shit.

MTG, and it's worth giving another swing if you ask me. I played it for a while when I was younger and had a similar reaction.

"Neat card art, but meh"

Fast forward fifteen years and you have standardized tournament formats, organized play EVERYWHERE, and tons of quality work being put into expansions like Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash to deliver a truly unique game. You can easily drop 30$USD and get a Fat Pack with nine booster packs, and that's pretty damn good odds that you'll get the cards you need to make a solid deck or have trade collateral.

Shit, don't even do that. You can get into a sealed tournament for 20$USD which more than pays for itself. They give you six booster packs, all the mana you need, and half an hour to an hour to make a forty card deck.

(I actually prefer sealed tournament, since it puts everyone on an equal playing field in regards to their card inventory.)

Also, a thing to note about Friday Night Magic: Wizards has put time, money, and energy to ensure that establishments that wish to be labeled as 'official' FNM event hosts have qualified judges willing and able to help explain the rules of the game, and make sure you have a good time!

Check out their store locator and check go watch a tournament! Ask questions! Have fun!

If you were close to Erathaol and I, I would say that you should come check out our games! We aren't super nerds, and we have a lot of fun. Also, the great thing about pathfinder, is that it can be virtually free! You can find all the rules online and that's all you really need to get playing.

Ha.. I just picked this hobby back up about 4 months ago when a comic book store opened less than half a mile from my house. I pulled out an old box of cards I had in my parents attic and went to some booster draft tournaments every week. 13 bucks, three packs passed around and pull the card from each pass that helps you the most. I win a few, lose a lot more but it is fun and its an easy hobby...
I finally put together my first Standard deck and really like it although the deck needs a little work. definitely worth a look

This is my current deck.. http://www.mtgdeckbuilder.net/Decks/ViewDeck/511821
the problem is it takes a long time to get the creatures out that I need to destroy my opponent.. which is why I have those kill spells.. Im considering getting rid of the two battle hymns and two boros charm to add something like Searing Spear for more control..

But the concept is once I start getting creatures out (namely tokens from Assemble and Lingering) to pop hellrider or aurelia and do massive damage, or burn at the stake if I cant kill the creatures capable of blocking...

This being, in my book, one of the worst names you can call someone of child rearing age I took offence and called him out for being a total girlpart and that he should learn gear and his class before insulting his teammates.

This person challenged me to a duel on our " mains". Now I was like whatever but frankly wanted to give him a spanking - to say I was surprised to receive a tell from rapid as his "main" would be quite true.

However, I gave him a good and public spanking in our duel and, I hope, ensured he refrains from calling people retards henceforth.

Once this has been put in the books, it's either P90X2 or Insanity.

The amount I'm going to have to eat for my weight, is insane, but man if I have to eat this much I know the program is going to be effing intense.

I've watched most of the videos already getting familiar with the program before i actually start, it's going to take everything I got plus more.

Was it just the time requirements that forced you to take another path, or was it the program too?

It's cool they resurrected it, but that was a very cheesy and lack luster commercial. Agent Smith talks, what seems to me a bit slower than what I remember from the actual movies.

They completely failed on the "Jack out" sequence through the phone.

The end with the kid was cool, and I got a big smile on my face from it.

However, in the end, this really made me feel like one of those times when someone only does ONE good thing in their entire lives, and are on the brink on personal destruction, (Life, family, job, all of it gone.) and there only way to scrape by it to attempt to tap into their "glory days" or former success.

I love the Matrix.

However, this really felt like a child star trying to make a comeback through an "Awesome, yet really skewed version of something I once did that was cool."

Anyways, I'm off.
Title: randomness
Post by: Manic Velocity on April 12, 2013, 02:59:14 pm
I'm floored by the fact that you think the character of Agent Smith was the only good thing Weaving has done in his entire career.  The man is nowhere near the point where he needs to make any kind of comeback.

Anyway, I don't mind that his performance seemed a little phoned-in.  It is just a commercial after all, and obviously intended to be nothing more than a wink-and-a-nod.  I'm mostly just surprised to see the Matrix IP being used legitimately after all these years.

No need to assume, just ask next time. I don't get floored when smack talk is said about TOR, I just let it go as we all have opinions.

Hugo is great. The fact, this was a phone in (High chance) and Hugo took it, just speaks volumes to the guy as an actor and a person.

Seeing the Matrix again is great.

I still think the commercial was a half ass, lame attempt to use old material from their "awesome" days. I'm stoked it was used, the same way you are.

It's just in my opinion, as stated above I had problems with it.

Opinions are like assholes, and I sure got one. Nothing more.

Went to lunch today and received a parking ticket from a private parking enforcement company.  They got the make and model of my vehicle right, but the license plate is completely wrong.  The ticket says my tags expired on June 2013.  My tags actually expire in October, nevermind the fact that June 2013 hasn't happened yet.

Went to their website and got their address.  It's a residence here in the Salt Lake valley.  If this is a scam, it's a poorly executed one.

I'm going to call them tomorrow to dispute the ticket, but I'm only going to give them the ticket number.  If they can't accurately recite my vehicle info based on whatever records they keep, I'll tell them I'm not paying them a dime.

So Okinyo suggested that I give HAWKEN a swing a while back. Fired it up this morning and gave it a whirl.

There's a lot I've seen before, match-based gameplay with upgradable characters. Different mechs offer different strategies and approaches in a way that even the noob mech (the microwave oven) can find a way to compete with more advanced mechs.

I think there's something important to be noted regarding the pacing. For a mech combat game, the matches are incredibly fast-paced. Compared to a shooter like TF2 or Unreal, it's decidedly slower. There's a fine in-between that I think Hawken is striving for that strikes a balance between quick, cover-based twitch shooting and battlefield positioning and teamplay.

A new shot of the USS Vengeance, John Harrison's (Benedict Cumberbatch) ship from Star Trek Into Darkness, has been released.  It was seen in a side profile shot in the newest trailer, which shows it's huge size difference to the Enterprise, but now we get a nice detail shot.

I'm sure Zooey will do something about this soon, and I don't want to rain on his reporter parade but,

http://torwars.com/2013/04/26/swtor-announces-appearance-change-kiosk-and-other-goodies/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+torwars%2FxALp+%28TORWars%29

Today, Star Wars: the Old Republic released their April 2013 Insider.  In it, Producer Cory Butler announced a few goodies that will be coming in April and beyond.  We already have seen the Vice Commandant's Cartel Pack in action, but the video also included two key elements that make this TORWarrior excited.

Firstly, there will be an Appearance Design Kiosk, pretty much the barber shop sort of thing we've seen in other games.  However, where SWTOR is going to knock it out of the park, he revealed that species change will be included for the kiosk as well.  Instead of asking players to spend real life money for a species/race change like other games do, we'll be able to do this in-game for credits.

The second intriguing detail is the ability to recolor armor. For us fashionistas out there, this makes me a very happy camper... and I have a feeling I'll be sinking some serious credits into this.

Hell fucking yes.

The Star Wars logo is just a license to print money at this point.  If Star Wars Angry Birds plush toys aren't enough indication of that, I don't know what is.

And what better company to take the reigns than one that consistently makes millions on their products before they are even released?  People will pre-order the shit out of a new Star Wars game, regardless of any always-online DRM and day-one DLC EA manages to shove in there.

EA with Star Wars exclusivity?  It's a perfect storm.  A storm made of cash.

I have to share my pain.  This... this is too good.  I just had a dumbfuck coworker explain to me that there exists a car that is powered by water vapor.  What follows is a condensed transcript of our conversation:

Him: "They make cars that run on water."
Me: "How does the water power the car?"
Him: "The water gets converted into steam that moves turbines."
Me: "What heats up the water to convert it into steam?"
Him: "Batteries."

Batteries!  MOTHERFUCKING BATTERIES!  The BATTERIES heat the WATER to turn it into STEAM which moves TURBINES to power the car!  But it gets better!

Me: "So... why haven't I heard anything about this?"
Him: "The oil companies are keeping it from seeing mass production."

IT'S A CONSPIRACY NOW!  "Big oil" is suppressing the secret of evaporation that will solve the energy crisis!  We can't use these batteries to directly power the car, mind you.  That would be too goddamn simple.  We need them to boil the fucking water!

I want to ask him if there is a way to trap the vapor within the car to convert it back into water to be used again.  That would be infinite energy!

Holy shit I need to take a fucking walk.

Raging here because, you know, social media bullshit.

Got niggered out of $60 bucks by some old alcoholic playing counting games last night. Found out from my boss that the same guy has pulled the same thing on a few others in that store. I'm too goddamn nice. I'm glad I have a job, but I hate that it's at a gas station in a shit part of town. Now I've got to pay it out of pocket or get written up. Cleaning up the beer bottles, needles, and crack spoon that he left out back of the store wasn't fun either. Fucking old crackhead is going to get him a whoopin' next time I see him.

Alright I'm done.

I literally cannot escape thinking about you guys. I thought, of all things, listening to Beethovan Pandora while learning about budget variances would keep my mind from wandering. Of course, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana comes on, and I immediately spend 30 minutes watching all of the FA videos because Orff's piece reminded me of Code Fury. Hate you all.

So, I think Information Technology is my favorite portion of the CPA exam that I've taken (for this portion of the exam, it's about 20% of the material I'll see). I laugh at about every 5th question because they're so easy. Granted, this is a released question used in 1999 that won't appear on the exam anymore, but it just made me smile.

Quote
One of the most popular tools available to business is the Internet. The Internet can best be described as:

   a.   A group of servers provided licenses to offer Internet service by the United States government.
   b.   A central computer maintained by the United States government to expedite electronic communications and research.
   c.   A tremendous number of servers dedicated to sending and receiving information to and from other networks.
   d.   A single server maintained by Interpol to facilitate and monitor all international electronic communications.

YAY FOR EASY ANSWERS!

She then informed me it tastes different because the stuff in the glass bottle is made with cane sugar instead of HFCS. I've never been anti HFCS like some people, but goddamn if cane sugar soda doesn't taste ten times better. I've now discovered costco sells the cane sugar stuff and I now refuse to ever buy syrupy soda ever again.

The Industrialization of MMOs (http://www.trredskies.com/industrialization-mmos/)

Quote
Theme park MMOs function exactly like theme parks elsewhere, like Disneyland. It’s a vast, mass market, fantasy rendering of an idealized world. Nothing is real, yet it feels exactly how you want it to feel and it idealizes reality in a way that alters our expectations of the real world. Talking mice, fairies, castles, and magic wands …all of these are features in the theme park alongside the side shows and thrill rides. They are there to entertain. As a collection they are designed to allow visitors to wander around all day in any manner they like: in groups, by themselves, and it even invites them to blend in and become invisible (costuming). Most importantly, theme parks aren’t designed for meeting new people or even for enjoying the attractions with them. That is incidental. Friends and family are only welcome insofar as they also pay an entry fee and the park would like their money. Interaction is not encouraged and not discouraged, but is an ever available option since you are constantly surrounded by people. Does this sound like any MMO you have ever played or heard of? It should.

Took the words right out of my mouth.  MMOs used to represent to me the first step in virtual reality.  The Rift is another step towards the ultimate goal of actually "jacking in", but MMOs as virtual worlds represented the foundation of that goal.  A way to get thousands of people together to live and share an idealized virtual existence that could be just as meaningful as meatspace.

But this "industrialization" bastardized that concept.  The idea of virtual worlds was replaced with the shovelware of virtual Disneylands.  How many parks can you visit before you start to notice that all of them only offer slight variations of the same rides?

I got the audio book for free and listened to it the other month. Good book! I'll probably see the movie at the movie theater.

If I chose not to consume or partake in products due to the personal beliefs of their producers/manufacturers, I imagine I'd be locked out of 90% of what's out there. If it was an official statement made on behalf of the product (like Chick-fil-a or that pasta guy) then I can understand, but Ender's Game itself isn't a statement on sexuality and there are many more people involved in making it (the crew, the actors, the producers).

All of that said, feel free to pirate away! Haha - as long as you can enjoy the movie!

Vsauce (1) covers a whole lot of everything. Michael (the host) has a degree in Neuropsychology and English lit, and has a great way of breaking down and explaining pretty high-level concepts. Vsauce 2 covers more on people, while Vsauce 3 is focused primarily on video game culture. The three channels cross over from time to time but all offer interesting, regularly-updated, and educational entertainment. Honestly, it's content creators like these guys that are the reason I would rather watch YouTube than regular television.

On an unrelated note, I had an itch when I got off of work this morning to buy a $20 scratch-off. Woman behind me started joking with me about it and I offered her half if she wanted to split the cost. She politely declined, then proceeded to swear like a sailor when I scratched off $500.

Much like a fisherman, I'm waiting with baited fucking breath to hear Mharz weigh in on some of this. :D

And since I hate to disappoint I'll paste a portion of a conversation I'm involved in for professional reasons on the topic. 

"While I'm excited that one of the world's largest retailers is coming into our space to help advance domestic operations we have to consider a couple of practical things.

1. Drone delivery security. I hack the drone or otherwise bring it down prior to delivery destination and steal the cargo. After losing a couple of pieces of cargo with high price tags this suddenly becomes a lot less attractive of a delivery solution.

2. Flight times. Currently flight times are limited by battery capacity. Nominal times for exceptional systems are 30 minutes but most are less. This would allow a 10 minute flight out, a 10 minute flight back, and some reserve for emergency. Is this useful?

3. Cargo capacity. Current lifting weights are modest making this method only suitable for the lighter loads. This limitation restricts the usefulness of the device to a small subset of potential deliveries.

4. Operational costs. Assuming some clever folks could automate the process as Jeff is famous for doing, what metrics could be used to justify the operational costs of a UAS compared to a delivery truck? If you use cost/pound of package delivered I'm not sure the UAS will hold up well.

Please don't take these comments as rain on the Amazon parade but more as constructive questions that need to be answered before we move forward."

In short, we're a number of major technology hurdles away from Jeff's ideal delivery solution, or anyone else's to be very frank.  On the surface it looks great but if you look a little deeper the idea totally falls flat until some challenges are met.

Beyond what I mentioned there are a number of regulatory issues that are currently in place thanks to the FAA (perhaps the most worthless branch of the government in existence) that prevent this or any other domestic UAV operations.  The industry is estimated to be a multi-billion dollar high tech field (estimates are nearly 100 billion in the first 5 years) that will bring thousands of high skill, good paying jobs to Americans during one of our country's worst economic periods.

Thank goodness we have Washington protecting us from innovation, doing business, and being successful.

Yes we've all read the article.  My comments still stand.  As much as I'd like to jump up and down and proclaim this as the best thing ever, the tech just isn't there yet to make this a cost effective solution for this application.

There are however, many other VERY cost effective solutions that domestic UAVs can provide but that is for another discussion.

Yeah, I feel like this is like any other "future" thing that sounds cool and people think it's around the corner but no one thinks about how impractical it really is.

I remember an article that said we'd all be in flying cars by the year 2000. Where's my flying car?? The major flaw I see with this drone thing is that you have to live within a 10 mile radius of the Amazon location. Um, if the radius is only 10 miles, couldn't you get it to me faster via a delivery driver, a la pizza...

tbh it could be part of a larger backdrop on getting the FAA to deal with the potential of actual "highways" in the sky must like the USDOT and the states do now. This gets back to Tbone's point about flying cars. Technology aside, the regulations are a nightmare, but we need to start addressing these issues seriously as the technology becomes less hypothetical.

Since we are dormant, I have been casually leveling a Bounty Hunter and having a blast just enjoying Star Wars again.

The space fights are fun too.

What you mean "we" paleface?

Some of us never go dormant.

On a side note, space combat is sorta fun and a good beer drinking space combat romp.

On another side note Strod.. I'm also leveling a Hunter (my last class story ever).  Good times.

So I heard a security holocam went offline briefly today, claims from bystanders on the station suggest a radiant "white flash" of light was the cause.

It could be a hoax, but this distorted image is what was captured shortly before the holocam was disabled.

FACT: On the digital payphones that have the credit card reader (also known as "Millennium Payphones") , the dial tone you hear when you pick one up is just a recording being played by the phone itself.  The phone isn't technically "on" until you actually insert money.

This was done as a means to combat the various boxes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking_boxes) used by the phreaking community.

I made a beige box in high school that I still have.  I keep it in my backpack whenever I go out of town in case of an emergency.  Amazingly enough it's never been questioned by the TSA.  :P

After Ash's comment about Sunshine in the music thread, I decided to give it a look-see (don't worry no real spoilers here). It's worthy of a viewing, but it aggravates me to no end that movie makers take maneuvers in space for granted. At least they got the 16 month mission time correct. Also the physics is wrong, even IF you could shield yourself from the sun at those distances, gravity is a field effect and humans would literally be crushed by the weight of their own hair at 1 solar radii).

I don't...I can't even...there are so many complex thoughts. First things first, if you're worried about it being weird, you can still fap to this no problem. So rest easy. The girls all seem like they could be 18, but everyone in the circle cheering them on are like 12. It looks like some youth outreach program for a strip club. But it's not even just girls - there's 12 year old boys hanging out there like they all go to the Y together.

Perhaps this is the moment that I realize I'm now "old". Is this perfectly acceptable dancing now? I see those moves at a strip club, but that's it. This looks like White Suburbs, USA though.

Am I supposed to be turned on? Am I supposed to be appalled? Is this a new Olympic sport? Are there classes for this? Is this like the pole dancing fitness? Am I creepy if I show up as a spectator to this? Is there a cover? A minimum beer order? Lap dances? Or do they hand out medals for most improved?

All I know is I wish I was that one kid that was front and center during that whole thing when I was his age!

I was invited for a tour last year and it was just a fantastic experience, the heat on the other hand was just unpleasant.

My M11x was also great.  Unfortunately, after several years of great service, the fan died.  It's currently in pieces while I decide what to do with it. 

I went ahead and bought myself a 2013 Razer Blade.  The 2014s are out now but I really don't care for the 4K touch-screen, and the GPU upgrade wasn't worth the extra $700 I saved by buying last year's model.  Been using it for a few weeks now and I have no complaints.  It handles everything I'm currently playing at a constant 60+ FPS without batting an eye.

My brother and I checked out Wildstar together and I was pretty unimpressed. Maybe I've been spoiled by cinematics and voice acting. The areas felt small, the quests repetitious, and the story quickly disappeared. It just became another game where I had 16 quests in my log and the hardest part was figuring out which order to do them in.

The game is tongue-and-cheek, and I think it would have been good IF they would have gone farther with it. There's a few "fuck yeah, you leveled up!" moments, but I just think they could have gone farther. The combat is your typical MMO stuff. It's responsive, but the animations don't match up with each other like they did in SWTOR.

Grouping was fairly easy to do, but some quest objectives wouldn't count for the both of us, and I couldn't find a way to share quests. There is apparently a mentor system, though. Also, for the trial, we could not create guilds or even "circles" (whatever that is).

Wildstar was pretty highly rated, so I thought it'd be pretty fun. I just found the whole experience to be pretty meh. I'd pay for ESO before Wildstar. The next one we're gonna try out is FFXIV
Title: Re: randomness
Post by: Erathaol on August 01, 2014, 12:45:16 am
I recently came back to FFXIV after a few months of playing ESO.  I honestly couldn't tell you specifically why I'm loving FFXIV so much, but I am.  I'm very thoroughly a fan of the open-world sandbox free-PvP full-loot MMOs, and this is so far in the other direction I theoretically should hate it.  It's essentially a Final Fantasy flavored WoW, and apparently that's enough to make me enjoy it.  Classes are very narrowly defined into the three major roles of Tank, Healer, and DPS, and all content is based on that division.  The main story is meant to be played solo, with a few mandatory dungeons (4 or 8 man) thrown in, and because they are mandatory to enjoy the story they are fairly easy.  When you reach level 50, the content branches off a bit with 4, 8, and 24-man dungeons as well as hunts and certain FATES (open-world events).

Where I can see FA excelling and enjoying our time is the Binding Coil of Bahamut, the major end-game 8-man content meant for a static group of committed players.  It's the weekly lockout dungeon that saves your progress through each Coil (sub-sections).  It's quite reminiscent of the end-game SWTOR content we had specific raid groups schedules for particular times each week.

The game also just recently released Frontlines, the 24v24v24 PvP arena that is also something we could excel at and potentially enjoy.

Really, it all comes down to WHO you play with rather than WHAT you play.  I really do think that's a philosophy that SE embraces with FFXIV, and I hope at least SOME of you try it out and enjoy it.  If not, there are plenty of games on the horizon as well as Rust (which I've been watching and waiting for the experimental branch to overtake the official game to play again).

EDIT: Also, I'm drunk.  Please view any opinions expressed through that lens.

I looked at Rust and I didn't think much of it. Defiance is the MMO based on the TV show (or the other way around)? I'm working my way through Last of Us on hard; never played it before and I'm literally stopping myself from playing it every now and then so I can elongate the experience. Holy hell, it's good. Proper survival, well on hard at least.
Title: Re: randomness
Post by: Maglorius on August 06, 2014, 06:57:26 am
I honestly didn't think much of Rust either. When I first got on it I felt frustrated because of how unfinished it felt to me, even though I knew it was in alpha stages.

After I started playing it and got a feel for what it really was, I found myself playing it all day long, killing people and blowing up bases to raid people became a rush that made the game enjoyable.

Now when I finally started playing on the server with the FA guys, it just made the experience that much better.

Defiance is also fun, its not your typical MMO where you are constantly waiting on cool downs while mashing your number keys. It's more of a 3rd person shooter, plus it's free to play.

It was a terrible choice.

I did get into the Anthem closed testing, so maybe that's better.

UPDATE: Anthem is... good where bioware shines - world, dialogue, story... but the gameplay (albeit fun - the flying is super cool) is going to be a recycle fest of Destiny proportions. My three missions (the only three in the closed testing) were a mixture of going to objective markers, hold X to initiate your hack (done by your handler/cypher) and you need to stay in the area to take out waves of folks. Maybe a brute/heavy thrown in for some difficulty.

Double post, as it's a different subject - I write comics as a side job now, small beginnings but I'm hoping to get away from corporate office jobs and write for a living in the next 5 years or so. Our latest kickstarter is here (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grymcomics/peace-of-mind-issue-2) - it's the second issue. Let your friends and loved ones know about it if they enjoy Sci-fi comics (this is more dystopia).

Not much, some people have been playing SWTOR again. I play Rocket League sometimes.

Why waste money at the theater when you can get better quality at home! Seriously, these are at the top of the list as far as 4k releases out there go: http://www.thefuriousangels.com/index.php?topic=8613 (http://www.thefuriousangels.com/index.php?topic=8613)

I got stung by a wasp for the first time today in lord knows how long.  I’d say that’s pretty random and appropriate for the randomness thread!  Am I right or am I right?!

There were some flying around right outside my apartment and I was worried about that while carrying in groceries. My girlfriend also got stung by a wasp two weeks ago, but we were out hiking in the woods so maybe not quite as random!

Wow, that's pretty dope! Jeyk tried to convince me to build my own at Disney, but I didn't want to drop the cash. I can't imagine building one from scrap - very cool!

Well thankfully I have a setup in case of power loss, so we were okay in that department. it took about 2 days for the area to be restored. Lost a gate, half a fence, lots of trees everywhere, etc. In the end, it was all okay.\

After a period of inactivity leadership gets transferred to any active member left. I guess when there are no active members left it gets disbanded. I think last time I checked Nocry had ownership? I'm trying to remember what the situation was last time I logged in and caught up on the story expansions, but it's been awhile.
