I once asked the famous Canadian ozone scientist James Kerr, "Why is it that Canada does so much better at measuring ground-level ozone than the US?" He had a very simple answer: we can't afford satellites.

Bush is a giant fucking asshole, but guess what? We're Americans, we're not gonna let that rat fucker hold us down. We'll figure something out.
Asthma and exercise have a negative reinforcement cycle. It's possible to break it, but it ain't easy. Any chance you could move to a place w/ better air quality?
It doesn't really matter. All the evidence in the world about who was responsible won't stop us from going after someone who had nothing to do with it. -_-
I would love a party that was fiscally responsible, beleived in personal freedom, social justice, enviornmental responsibility, supported small buisiness, supported real family values (i.e. NOT including "hatred" and "intolerance" and "close-mindedness"), was anti-corruption in government and business and supported government that did what was absolutely neccesary for a strong society, but no more than that.
Lemme know when you find such a party, I'll be right there w/ you.
IF the motherfuckers at the FBI can be believed, then the warrantless surveillance didn't uncover a single goddamned clue about where terrorists could be hiding in the US. They've gone way over the fucking line, and now we're supposed to acquiese to their "requests" for our search data? I'm sick and tired of this "terrorism" bullshit, but they can't even be bothered to connect this to terrorism! FUCK BUSH AND FUCK HIS ADMINISTRATION.
(note: I'm almost as angry because I can't seem to google for Nicole Wong to see if she's hot or not...)
You mean the reverse, right? Dems are reasonably close in the Senate, but don't have a chance in hell of retaking the House for a decade at least. (gerrymandering)
Somebody creates an effective non-website based bittorrent network.
DHT? Someone has to make an initial torrent file, right?
South fails to rise again.
Have you been paying attention these last 5 years?
The third man of the fire will empower the forces of the blue prince.
No real change in Iraq. Neither side can force a decision, so both sides keep bleeding.
If the Bush Administration doesn't begin withdrawing troops now, they won't be able to get most of them home in time for the upcoming elecions. Remember: it's never been about winning the war on terror, it's always been about *looking* like we're winning.
Man, I need to post to this story again, because it pisses me off so much. If I don't shave, then eventually the fuzz on my face won't come out w/out massive damage to your razor. If I don't shower, then I smell terrible. If I don't clean the sink/kitchen or take out the garbage, then I wind up w/ roaches. If I don't vacuum or dust, then dust and dirt and dander will just pile up and I'll have an asthma attack. Man, fuck Paul Graham, because this essay was like one long explanation about why I'll never amount to anything. What the hell?
The article links to Hamming's "You and Your Research". The submitter clearly fails for not including it in the writeup, since it's much more interesting.
Hamming's article mentions that the people w/ the open doors get more done then the people w/ the closed doors, yet isn't Graham's point that interruptions prevent serious work? Doesn't that disprove Graham's claim?
One of my friends totally flipped out on his LJ about this. When they showed up on my account in Trillian, I just deleted the spambots and didn't think anything of it... but if this is going to get everyone else worked up, maybe now we should start trying to convert people to Google Talk?

Not true, we've nailed a grand total of... 3.
-_-
Here are the numbers, if you don't believe me.

You're assuming that the person being picked on can stand up to the bullies. -_-
What those idiots don't understand is that the totalitarian government the Chinese have didn't happen overnight.
If we ban human-animal hybrids, does this make us more or less likely to find Osama bin Laden?
Lovely priorities, really.
The only thing I've learned is that furries pose a bigger threat to America than terrorists. -_-

Everyone makes mistakes. Let's at least wait until the demo comes out before we pass judgement.
If someone told me that "BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE", I would not ignore that fact.
I'm just saying.
That we're even having this discussion is a pretty damn good indicator that video games are art.

Any reason you feel this way?

Congrats, Simon!
But seriously, why didn't that ad use a Mithra or Viera model?
This sounds like a Fark or SA photoshop thread. Too bad /. doesn't allow pics...
You would hear even less about them if the original trilogy wasn't better than most movies being made today...
That's why more people need to check it out! ;_;
People intrigued/amused by this story should totally check out Technocrat, since it showed up there first. (Second, if you count Perens' journal...)
Pick up a DS and Mario Kart. Done.

Good to hear, thanks.
What version of Rockbox are you running, 2.5 or a straight-from-CVS build? Either way, did you have any problems or quirks w/ it?
