Okay actualy I think I like ONCE stepped foot in one 10 or so years ago for maybe half a second, but shit; uh;
worlds largest corporation?
Within 5 or 6 miles of me there are 3 Safe-Ways (used to be 4, but two of them consolidated into one building), but I have no idea where in the hell a walmart would be found at (or what the hell they even stock, though from what I read apparently everything).
I honestly think that there are more K-marts in Seattle (okay actualy there are only three or four) then walmarts.
Who the hell goes to walmart anyways? Fuck, I don't even KNOW ANYBODY WHO HAS EVER BEEN INSIDE OF A WALMART. How f*cking huge am I supposed to believe that they are?
It doesn't count if you use a tivo to skip commercials, have add blocking software on your computer, and never leave the glow of your computer monitor to venture outside.
Can't afford a TV, no ad blockign software, ride my bike 4.5~6mi a day.
Hmm? I boycott the RIAA, I do not even listen to their music pirated.
The MPAA can go fuck itself, but I have to see anything with John Cleese or Robin Williams(being funny) in it.
On a slightly related note, Death To Smoochie rocked. So did Resident Evil and, err, uh, that other really big action movie that was out right at the same time as RE. Uh, there was a/. discussion on it, but RE left more of an impression on me. ^_^ Oh yah, Blade 2. Wasn't half bad.
I have serious issues seeing more then 1 movie a week or 2 movies a month, I can't sit still doing absolutely nothing that long not just concurrently but even at nearby intervals. Ugh.
Thus I have this serious dilemma facing me right now, which movie should I go and see, Episode 2, Scorpion King, or SpiderMan. I _MAY_ be able to squeeze two in there, but I seriously doubt it. . . . Still recovering from my last bout of watching movies almost a month and a half ago, heh.
(movies are soooo damn mind numbingly dull, even the good ones. Except for the ones with Monty Python in them, they rock. And Robin Williams is so hyper that he could be used in an ER room as an independent resuscitary unit)
Am I like the ONLY person in the world who has not seen ANY hype at all for this movie? I have seen like ONE preview before a movie (I forget which movie it was in fact) and I have seen no ads on TV, no billboards, nothing.
What hype? Hell I thought that only Geeks and Nerds would even be INTERESTED in the movie, or even know it existed for that matter.
from my experience (and I'm no expert) I've never known icandescent or flourescent to noticably flicker
Bull shit, if somebody installs them incorrectly or the mounting is cheap, the damn flouros flicker like a son of a bitch. The ones in my computer room create a strobe light effect that actually fucks up your perception of moving objects. Not to mention is fucking up my eyes more and more every day.
Floros are also HORRID to have around computers, not a good thing, especially if they are in really close proximity.
They also have this shitty ass tinting to them that makes doing any sort of color sensitive work under them suck (not that incan's are much better, but floros have a much worse color distortion problem).
I want a LED light array, oooh yaaah. The higher quality ones are about as close to pure white as you are likely to get, and oh yah, they will likely last you longer then you will live, or at least a significant percentage of that time. Sweet.
Haha true true but some sort of ethics class is needed to 'teach' people that killing others is a-ok. ^_^
On the philosophy front though, it can also be said that all of the great generals where either philosophers themselves, are students of philosphy.
As for music, one of the PROBLEMS and the reasons that music is so damn morally degraded these days is because the music listeners where never taught what REAL music is like. Teach those kids how to play at least one instrument from early on and I will assure you that you will have far less people buying pop music cds, they somehow lose their appeal when listeners can start to spot how f*cking repetitive and droning they are.
Art is needed to teach people visualization abilities, mathematics does the engineer no good if the engineer cannot see in their mind whatever it is that they are modeling.
There was actually a story on one of those 'investigative reporting' tv shows that is so popular (dateline, 20/20, whatever) that showed how the schools run by the military are actually better at teaching childern things, and that amongst other things the increased funding that they have (being Pentagon and all) was going towards some rather progressive changes (assloads of computers in all of the classrooms, and every shot of the school rooms themselves that the segment had showed tons of artsy fartsy stuff all over the place).
Very few behavioral issues compared to regular public schools, and the dumb-shits concluded that (duuuh) parental involvement was even more important then anything else that had been done.
Lesson to be learned, education succeeds damn nearly anyplace where you have parents who actually care
Oh yah, and that the military would run schools pretty much the same way that they are run now, except with more funding and that they would be likely to not tolerate as much shit as schools do now. (around here teachers can no longer confiscate electronics from students due to parent suing the school district over it. . . . which means that students can be found going up and down the hallways all day long with huge boomboxs spewing out garbage.)
I'd imagine (or at least hope) that Philosophy would be eliminated entirely
Oddly enough the military loves morals and ethics classes for their officers, as well as basic logic classes. If anything Philosophy would be highthened. ^_^
No shit sherlock, I was merely saying that there is the POSSIBILITY that the reporter was using the OLD definition of the word, which is still perfectly valid.
By definition, anybody who is not one of The Big Three is a pagan, and thus therefore a devil worshiper (even though worship of such a Deity would admit existence of the Christian belief system) is indeed a pagan, though a far different type of pagan then the tree hugging hippy derivatives that are around today.
By the same regard, both Christians and Neo-Pagans fall into the category of religious people. If I mentioned people who are religious then I would be talking about BOTH GROUPS even though both are VERY different from one another.
If the daughter was some deranged wacko who actually DID THINK she was talking to the evil one that indeed, she WOULD BE CONSIDERED A PAGAN.
While there may not be a world wide conspiracy of devil worshipers running around, there are indeed a few nut bags now and then who may think they are doing something eeeviilll. In this case obviously her delusions went/way/ to far.
When pagan was used it obviously was not referring to the cute and cuddly "hug all the woodland creatures" new age neo-pagans, who to their credit have turned out some rather decent works of art.
(and that is all I am giving them. Well ok, and they also have a tendency to tie themselves to trees to help stop big corporations, which I have absolutely no problem with either.:) )
Ahh, first on the issue of those damnable human tracking implant things, and now on Disney;
what will Christian Fundementalists and Computer Nerds agree on next? ^_^
Seriously though, any chance somebody can dig around in the DMCA and find something that is potentialy anit-christian in a very blunt and obvious (or at least obtuse and stupid) way? it is alledged that the DMCA cover everything at least once, so it must have something to say on the topic. . . . -_^
Unfortunately, I can't point to the place where the big boys hang out. I'd be crucified.
Don't we have AC accounts for this sort of thing?
....
Seriously though, you KNOW where the bastards are and you let them live? Hell just sneak any one of us their local and I guarntee ya that none of us will mention it was you who gave out the info (at least until every last one of the damn spammers is dead deadDEAD and you are perfectly safe.;) ).
Indeed, especialy when some dipshod webdesigner desides that you do not need a toolbar. . ..
Ugh, I hate that. . ..
I have neglected to visit any violating sites with Mozilla so I do not now if this is a IE only 'MS-HTML' command or what.
Either way it is annoying.
My mouse actualy supports back and forward with two side buttons, bound by default to, err, back and forward, in IE5.x+ in Windows2K+, no need for drivers.
Nifty that, I get to laugh at Opera users with their 'gesture' systems, hehe. Buttons kick gestures asses, and my 9 button mouse rocks.:)
In that case Microsoft's CAB extracting utilities violate the DMCA, since many applications come compressed in CAB files and extracting the files from that CAB is all that is needed to 'install' the application.
Ships with every copy of Windows as I recall, and updated versions are publicly available from Microsoft. . ..
What about some of the really cheesy programs that come as ZIP files accompanied with an EXE to extract them after showing a EULA? Is WinZip a DMCA violator then as well?
yes, lots of drivers need an automated targetting system in their SUV's. and a HUD with an altimeter is also very useful. hmm.. maybe not.
What the hell are you talking about, of COURSE that would be useful.
Not on SUVs mind you, those things are pansy ass, but strapped on to some of those good old 70s and 80s REAL STEEL HEAVY AS FUCKING HELL full sized trucks;
ooooh yaaah.
Those babies are ALREADY mini-tank Gods in the making, the systems you described would just finish off the transformation.
Soccer Moms watch out, now that pissed off driver behind you is armed, with heat seeking missiles!
Considering how LSD works (fucks up your sensor inputs to hell) and what fractals are (damn nearly everything in existence, oh fucking wow, congrats you managed to see what was right in front of your eyes. . ..) no duh;
you saw shit in f*ed up pretty colors.
Congrats.
....
What was amazing about Mandelbrot sets was the mathmatics of them, hell fractals have existed on this earth far longer then our entire species has, no fucked up hippy on LSD 'discovered' them.
Besides, it ain't worth 'discovering' shit if you are too damn messed up to know WTF you are seeing. . . .
Call me lucky, but the last time my inbox received an e-mail virus was in 1999 (guess which virus it was. . . . Happy99, heh).
I believe in stems from not having compleat idiots having me in their address books.
Smart friends == no virus' in email.
Hey, just out of question, what plurality of Virus are we supposed to use this week? Last time I was flamed for using virii, and I see flames over viri and virus' as well. This is getting waaay to annoying, it was so that awhile back pretty much everybody had agreed on virii (may not be historically proper but at least it ended the debate) but I want to know what {censored} started the debate back up again?
You get a 3 year warantee, whereas with OEM parts you only get 1 year,
Hell no, buy from some quality companies, many motherboard companies give an automatic three year unconditional warrenty on all products bearing their lable.
Crucial RAM has a LIFETIME warrenty on all defects, not exactly unconditional but still pretty darn good.
Western Digital seems to have a rather craptacular warrenty program, looking at the sheer number of exceptions alone on their warrenty info page tells that much.
Seagate has a simular 'variable' warrenty policy that depends on a bunch of crud. I trust companies that have an all inclusive warrenty a ton more.:)
Hmm, who in the HD world DOES have an unconditional warrenty? Anybody? Hmm. . . . I could see how that could end up being a bit costly though, heh.
It is not the time spent on them if you are just spewing out of your rectum, you have to CONVINCE the other side that you are right.
Think convincing arguments back from your primary education.
What? Weren't paying any attention in Elem/Mid/High school? That could be your problem right there. . . .
Seriously though, my ass capped out at 50 karma soon as I started COMPARING and CONTRASTING Microsoft and Linux, hell I didn't have to go out and bash either one of them, I just had to state how it was (or at least how I saw it and then convince others that is how it was.:) )
Take some basic improv classes, they always help, and then some poetry classes, Blicken Lights always help, even if they are just verbular. (damnit I am having fun bastardizing the English Language tonight.)
And above all else, fuck, just say whatever the hell you want to say, shit some of the idle pure CRAP that I have posted has gotten modded up to +5, even the shit that has been buried four or five layers deep in a thread has gotten modded up before.
Oh yah, and ALWAYS, I repeat, ALWAYS read the article first.
Learn to speed read if you must, trust me, it helps.
Read other comments before you post yours, odds are that witty retort you thought off will get a -2 redudent because it is exactly that, redudent along with the 4 other people above you who have already said it.
It is easier to get a +5 ---> 2 ---> +3 starting a thread, and to get a +4 staying at a +4 replying to an already existing post. You have more of a chance of sounding half assed intellgent if you already let somebody else do the thinking for you, all you have to do is follow the post to its logical conclusion (or even a bit beyond, heh) and then you can pretty much spout off whatever propaganda you want to (great for spreading Memes which is what I see being online as partialy being all about anyways.:) ) and still get modded up + something or other.
Especialy if you restate your base underlying "who the fucking hell could possibly disagree with that" opinion at the end of your post yet again.

That is the FIRST file recovery utility I have found that has NOT crashed when reading the disk!! YAAAH!!!:)
I had tried out some $500+ programs and they all went kaboom, hehe.
(suffice to say if their trial versions crashed I sure as hell didn't/pay/ them anything, ugh. Heh)
Now then, I wonder what it is going to do when it comes to the magical 40GB none existent partition that seems to exist on the drive for some reason?:) (80GB drive, 80GB partition + 40GB partition == WTF??? LOL! I wonder if it'll survive that. . . )
Even if it doesn't I will find something to do with a file recovery utility that actualy, uh, works.:) Thanks again!
I had a horrid issue with a motherboard, lets just say I am now short one RAM chip and am in the possession of 80GB of data with a corrupt parition table in the front.
Couldn't get ahold of anybody who spoke sufficent english who was able to understand that I wanted anything outside of the regular RMA. . . .
If you really, dead f*cking serious here folks, want to get an INDEPENDENT line;
go find your self a gigapop and pay the per foot fee to run lines to a router which you will pay VERY dearly for; buy rights to an old office building someplace in town, run yourself a line between the Gigapop and the office building, host your data at the office building (assloads cheaper, trust me on this, I do not even think that Gigapops LET you have server machines there, other then load balances and such), and then set up a peering arrangement with the other backbones.
It will run you in the grands per month minimum (hell lucky if you break under a million) but hell, unless the law manages to get EVERY damn last backbone provider to cut your ass off (which pretty much never happens) and you have your server located in a country with 'suitable' legislation (though quite frankly with the price of satellites constantly dropping . . . . heh, any day now, right? Sure the latency sucks, but hey, the legal situation would be fun to play around with.:) ) , you would be home free from anybody f*cking with you.
Please note that Gigapops technically refer to the new I2 POPs, but that Internet backbones tend to come together at them any ways.:)
Basically what you want is a direct relationship with a Tier 1 provider, which is VERY hard to get and VERY expensive, especially since you would not have a backbone of your own to deal with, but I am sure that if you offer them enough money, and especially if you do it a bit 'underhandedly' with one of the smaller tier 1 providers outside of the US.

If you really, dead f*cking serious here folks, want to get an INDEPENDENT line;

go find your self a gigapop and pay the per foot fee to run lines to a router which you will pay VERY dearly for; buy rights to an old office building someplace in town, run yourself a line between the Gigapop and the office building, host your data at the office building (assloads cheaper, trust me on this, I do not even think that Gigapops LET you have server machines there, other then load balances and such), and then set up a peering arrangement with the other backbones.
It will run you in the grands per month minimum (hell lucky if you break under a million) but hell, unless the law manages to get EVERY damn last backbone provider to cut your ass off (which pretty much never happens) and you have your server located in a country with 'suitable' legislation (though quite frankly with the price of satellites constantly dropping . . . . heh, any day now, right? Sure the latency sucks, but hey, the legal situation would be fun to play around with.
Please note that Gigapops technically refer to the new I2 POPs, but that Internet backbones tend to come together at them any ways.
Basically what you want is a direct relationship with a Tier 1 provider, which is VERY hard to get and VERY expensive, especially since you would not have a backbone of your own to deal with, but I am sure that if you offer them enough money, and especially if you do it a bit 'underhandedly' with one of the smaller tier 1 providers outside of the US.
