the point is that a lot of morons are checking their Facebooks every 5 seconds while the smart ones aren't biting down into the mobile paradigm bullshit.
Seriously, mobile people - They advertise throughput but cut you off at caps. They advertise this and cut you off at that. Are you all fucking morons?
Caffeine(as natural as possible, not that "energy drink" shit) and music greatly enhance the experience. In fact, outside of work I cannot do "boring" exercises like running without them. There has to me some music that gets you pumped.
However, it helps to also have a "fun" way to exercise, kayak surfing in my case.
Works wonders if your employer has an onsite gym. Duck in at random intervals throughout the day, bang out 100 leg presses, 15 heavyweight curls each arm, 30 heavyweight dumbell presses, 40 reps of wrist curls with 40-pound dumbbells each arm. Feels good, man, even on a diet of beer and Mexican food.
The intervals meaning that interruption to your routine is minimal since you're not doing it all at once when everybody else is using the gym, like at lunchtimes or after work.
Really, who cares in this case. This isn't Apple or Google, this is some crap Rollercoaster Tycoon-quality(in 2012!) games shop that got rich peddling its lousy wares off of Facebook's back. Zynga is a flea, and FB is the big dog - scratching Zynga off his balls with his muthafuckin' paws --
-- Y'alls - you can expect this shop to go under when Facebook does, which hopefully will be not long from now.
however, I would suggest that it has something more to do with the very personal nature of your mind, and you are projecting it onto everybody else.
Did you even read the first line of my post? All of it? I'm not the one who makes those videos, and there are an awful lot of them, indicating some kind of demand.
You think you sound smart, but your armchair psychology sounds hackneyed and pretentious and your barb at me is smarmy as hell. I didn't even state whether or not I condoned or condemned "teen" porn, I was just pointing out what I have observed. Run along, kiddo, go back to church. Real life is too cruel for your infantile mind to comprehend.
Exactly. And every legitimate porn site has a "teens" category, where the theme is young (or made to look young) women. Many of those clips involve the actresses holding teddy bears and hooking up with much older men.
And when most people hear the word, "teen," 18-19 are not the ages which first come to mind.
You missed the point. Interpol does not intervene with religious matters. Interpol would be meddling with religious matters if it refused to cooperate with a member nation because it disagreed with its religious laws. So Interpol were being fair, in the fucked up sense of the word.
Who knows, maybe the news will spread, there will be a global response, and Saudi Arabia will cave to diplomatic pressure and simply jail him for life instead of execute him. It happens every so often for women sentenced senselessly in Arab nations.
The app review process is about making sure the application conforms to Apple's prettiness standards and is free of sex, controversy, or 4-letter words.
It's a shame you were modded down. Although I wasn't going to rant about the DHS like you did, I wanted to scold the submitter for including this line in his submission:
Consider the possibility of a person who is currently (and rightfully) on the Department of Homeland Security's 'No-Fly' list. If this person were able to capture a victim's credentials and create a fake ID, he could pass through TSA security without being stopped
Oh, please. Fuck off with the fearmongering. Even the DHS knows that the threat of terrorism is a bunch of bullshit.
This is actually reassuring in a sick sorta way - I always thought that people working for dating sites combed random sites and osmosed peoples pictures, without consent, as a basis for building fake profiles.
Now, as it turns out, they just keep the pictures from all the people who uploaded to their site and left a day later after they figured it was bullshit.
Yes, the example was a bit extreme, but I was trying to say that no good ever came out of social networking for me, only bad. Again, I don't need to "network" to land decent jobs, that's what references are for. Not socially networking also helps me weed the voyeurs and petties out of my personal life.
I've mentioned this before, but there is a lot that can be inferred even from a private facebook profile. An example - I don't social network, but my ex girlfriend did. Even private facebook profiles show a name and a picture to the public. Searching for her name + "facebook" on Google led me to her profile, and through the changes to her profile pic over time, I was able to (properly, verified later without asking through conversations with her) determine when she got a new puppy and when she broke up with her boyfriend.
Knowing that she didn't have a boyfriend, we became intimate again, and I told her about how I brought her only cat treats(not bringing dog treats) in a past visit even though I knew she had a puppy because it would be creepy for me to know she had a puppy then. I also told her that I used the same tactic to know when it was a good time to flirt with her. She giggled at first, then started to become angry. "It's not fair!" she said. You can stalk me online, but I can't stalk you?
Creepy? Maybe. Hypocrite voyeur? Perhaps. But not nearly as creepy as actually having a Profile and spending my workday leering at scantily-clad friends of friends online and sticking my nose all up in their business.
...and that's the beauty of the book. Most people who come into it knowing that Dostoevsky was a Christian will come out of it thinking that it is a pro-religion story, especially because what you said about Alyosha is true. However, all brothers, even Alyosha, are guilty to varying degrees of enabling Fyodor Karamazov's death.
Rather than seeing it as a pro-Christian novel with some dark characters, I see it as an all-encompassing story that people from all beliefs and walks of life could use to better understand human nature. I remember thinking that after reading the book, had I not known that Dostoevsky was a Christian, I would have thought him to be an atheist(I still believe that he was a closet atheist, a guilt-ridden sinner desperately grasping at salvation).
Also, I disagree with your labeling of Ivan and Dmitri as "not the good guys." Ivan(my favorite character) is your classic rationalist tortured by his intelligence, his logical mind refusing to allow religion to fill the void in his soul. Dmitri is your classic reckless hedonist. Again, they are not evil, only human. The only genuine bad guy out of all the brothers is Smerdyakov.
Agreed, and it is reassuring to be in class and see that more and more people are ditching Social networking and saying, "get over yourselves - we don't care what you do in your personal lives."
As far as my friends go, it usually takes some incidence of drama to get them to quit. Two of my friends quit as a result of bad breakups with ex-wives. I was smart enough to learn those lessons back in the MySpace days, when I was in a relationship living with my girlfriend:
" Ethanol, who is that bitch you added to your friends list? Are you cheating on me ?! "
" Uh, she's my sister. No, I am not cheating on you.
( 3 days later )
" Ethanol, who is that bitch you just added to your friend's list. Are you gonna cheat on me with her?! "
" No, she's my fucking grandma! "
That teacher, incidentally, moonlights as a consultant and encouraged us all to "network," because that's how people get jobs and succeed, he thinks.
He should tell that to my boss, an utterly unqualified asshole and idiot, who got his job due to networking because his buddy was his boss and friends with his boss' boss. After he utterly ruined our department, blaming his faults on us, and sent morale through the floor blaming and bullying, I led a revolt to overthrow him. Consultants were called in to see where the faults were and his buddy-boss was asked to leave the company. Now everybody involved in the idiot's hiring is getting a pistol-whipping from corporate, and he's on his way out. Meanwhile, the department (except for the boss, of course) got bonuses for showing self-sufficiency in the absense of real leadership.
In short, "networking" is another bullshit buzzword. Any decent employee can succeed by merit alone.
One of my favorite readings about religion is Dostoevsky's The Grand Inquisitor, which is featured in The Brothers Karamazov.
Basically, Jesus returns to earth in the midst of the Spanish Inquisition. He goes around and does his Jesus thing, giving sight to the blind and healing the sick. The church gets word of this and arrests Jesus, putting him in a holding cell and sentencing him to death.
The Grand Inquisitor, knowing it's really Jesus, goes to Jesus' cell and asks him what the hell he's doing. Jesus wants to know why the church is treating him this way and the inquisitor says, "You're bad for business. Now that you're here, what the hell are we gonna do? Sorry man, it is in our best interests to make you disappear."
Jesus, somewhat homoerotically, kisses the inquisitor on the cheek and says, "I love you, brother." The Inquisitor, very moved by the gesture, opens the cell and releases Jesus, saying, "Get the hell out of here, and don't come back." Jesus walked off into the darkness and was never heard from again.
After coming home from a hard-day's work on a Friday evening, I noticed something awful on Slashdot - Besides those already awful Facebook, Twitter, and G+ icons was a flag icon.
"Mother of God," I thought, and many of you thought the same when you first saw it, instantly knowing what it meant.
First, a little background - Slashdot(then known as Chips and Dips) was initiated by pseudonym Commander Taco in 1997. It was later augmented by pseudonym Hemos and the whole thing became Slashdot. By the way, what was to become one of the foremore discussion sites for science and technology was started by a religious twig and a fat fuck*
* there's a joke there, we're gonna get to it...
Yes, not that joke, but another joke, was that the some of the perceived online proponents of science news were actually Hopeless religious lunatics! And, like CommanderTaco and Hemos, I joined and spewed the filth internalized by priest rape without mentioning the dirty little secret. Not only were the two founders deeply religious, they had a preference for PERL(which, of course, is written and directed by an evangelical lunatic). Larry Wall had raped the two himself while on a religious mission to a Michigan dildo store, and they both gobbled his wholey language (among his other things) down and asked for seconds.
There's a joke here, too - Slashdot considers itself a bastion of free speech.
It prided itself for not deleting any comment, unless the circumstances were so dire that they threatened its own existence. They rightly publicised their first monumental loss, against the church of Scientology. Now it wants to "flag posts." For what? Reporting to homeland security? Flagging is not in the FAQ.
Historically, even though the moderators acted as the Basij(to quote another Slashdot reader from years ago) that charasmatic trolls could not be silenced. Now, with the flag icon, Slashdot has gone full censor.
If their awful flagging cannot be destroyed by asking or pleading, it must be destroyed by trolling. flag every high-scoring comment you can, and offer a technical explanation why that comment should be flagged. When your comments disappear because of some jackass who doesn't agree with you, attack the advertisers next. Contact their advertising or PR department and say, " I was trying to say online how great your products were, but Slashdot's censorship system prevented others from seeing my comment. " Flood their advertisers with those comments until those awful flag icons disappear entirely and Slashdot releases a statement regretting the use of flags.
Oh, that joke you were wondering about. Hemos is now skinny and Commander Taco is now fat. And the Jew Timothy and his overlords at the JIDF are still in charge of Slashdot.
Today I was discussing tickets from red-light cameras with a co-worker, and he said something profound -
" That ticket cost me over 400 bucks, and I didn't even run the light, I turned into it. Over 400 bucks! I fought it and lost. It was three days of work's pay for me - it's really no different than going to jail for three days! "
And then he added:
" so I wrote my councilman, Carl DeMaio, and I didn't even get a canned response. What a beady-eyed, weaselly, rat-finked motherfucker. "

the point is that a lot of morons are checking their Facebooks every 5 seconds while the smart ones aren't biting down into the mobile paradigm bullshit.
Seriously, mobile people - They advertise throughput but cut you off at caps. They advertise this and cut you off at that. Are you all fucking morons?
Yeah, you are. Dumb, dumb motherfuckers.
Your point is a good one, especially because hardware like PLCs also depends on interface APIs and hidden IP.
And as stuxnet demonstrated with SIEMENS hardware, yes, not being able to see the internals is a potential problem.
Caffeine(as natural as possible, not that "energy drink" shit) and music greatly enhance the experience. In fact, outside of work I cannot do "boring" exercises like running without them. There has to me some music that gets you pumped.
However, it helps to also have a "fun" way to exercise, kayak surfing in my case.
Don't pull my finger and you'll be okay.
Works wonders if your employer has an onsite gym. Duck in at random intervals throughout the day, bang out 100 leg presses, 15 heavyweight curls each arm, 30 heavyweight dumbell presses, 40 reps of wrist curls with 40-pound dumbbells each arm. Feels good, man, even on a diet of beer and Mexican food.
The intervals meaning that interruption to your routine is minimal since you're not doing it all at once when everybody else is using the gym, like at lunchtimes or after work.
...and why the hell not? Tupac released more albums when he was dead than when he was alive.
Proof, once again, that he is not really dead but living on a secret island with Elvis and Steve Erwin.
Really, who cares in this case. This isn't Apple or Google, this is some crap Rollercoaster Tycoon-quality(in 2012!) games shop that got rich peddling its lousy wares off of Facebook's back. Zynga is a flea, and FB is the big dog - scratching Zynga off his balls with his muthafuckin' paws --

I see you've met my friend RoHS. Generates twice as much, but more environmentally friendly, garbage.
however, I would suggest that it has something more to do with the very personal nature of your mind, and you are projecting it onto everybody else.
Did you even read the first line of my post? All of it? I'm not the one who makes those videos, and there are an awful lot of them, indicating some kind of demand.
You think you sound smart, but your armchair psychology sounds hackneyed and pretentious and your barb at me is smarmy as hell. I didn't even state whether or not I condoned or condemned "teen" porn, I was just pointing out what I have observed. Run along, kiddo, go back to church. Real life is too cruel for your infantile mind to comprehend.
Exactly. And every legitimate porn site has a "teens" category, where the theme is young (or made to look young) women. Many of those clips involve the actresses holding teddy bears and hooking up with much older men.
And when most people hear the word, "teen," 18-19 are not the ages which first come to mind.
Truely squalid.
That's too much detail to be made completely up. It sounds to me like it might be based on a true story.

In my next life months from now, I am making 80K a year, driving an M3, and I'm looking for a woman who knows how to initiate and hold conversations.
My name will be Bryce Johnson, and my occupation will be engineer who loves wine, cheese, and long walks on the beach.
