I am in an oral communications class where we have to give How To speeches. My topic was "How to stalk people on facebook." I was going to cover the FBStalker firefox extension, as well as using the computer a person last logged in from to see who has been visiting your profile (using a link to a personal homepage with webstats). Then I woke up this morning and I see Facebook completely changed itself to obsolete the first half of my presentation and break the ability to do the second half. Thank god we ran out of time, or else I'd have been just standing there with nothing to say.
And I thought wow, this is by far the best news of the day. Then I saw that there is a new drug just like morphine, only non-addictive. And then I thought, wow, I thought AIDs being cured was a big deal, but that's nothing compared to this. And now I see that I can download porno movies without even turning on my computer. God I love/.
For those who don't know, Freud used cocaine from time to time but never got addicted. However, he gave it to one of his friends to try who later died from his addiction to the substance.
A) Real has gotten much better than they used to be. The OS X version is actually pretty good.
B) It will force more web developers to make standards compliant websites. Think of all the blind people who will be able to surf websites that were once inaccessible once Firefox market share gets into the 25% range.
Most people think this is some sort of violation of ethics, but frankly I see it more as Real giving back to the Internet community for some unethical things they've done in the past.
Aside from being slow and ugly, it is one of the buggiest pieces of software I have ever used. Whenever I go to check my grades it will say something like 10 points possible for assignment, your score 7, class average 11.2. This thing is worse than Diebold.
Combining biometrics makes identification less accurate. Using both face recognition and a finger print scan would be less accurate than using either alone. For a source, see John Daugman's webpage. He is the one who invented the algorithm that modern iris scanners use.
Anyway, methinks some investors are being taken for a ride here.
Great interview, I am a huge fan of Smartmobs and I appreciate you taking the time to do this. The last time I reread it was last summer in eastern Tibet, and outside my window there were guys talking on their cell phones while herding yaks in the remote village I was staying in. Crazy stuff.
There are two versions, one for if you have the newest version of Python and one for if you don't. You probably have the older version of Python installed and downloaded the wrong one.
I was trying to subtly point out that the whole surveillance program started under Clinton, but everyone at the time was worried about him getting a blowjob. I guess I was a little too subtle.
Not true. I was polled recently by a machine. I picked up the phone and it just said, "press 1 if you support Bush, 2 if you don't." I answered reflexively before I even thought to hang up.
That's the basic joke. At a deeper level, I think of it as "how do I find a quiet place on the Internet to think?" So it's actually kind of a recursive joke at multiple levels, which is funny to exactly one person -- me.
For truth in advertising's sake, I should add in that I don't actually live in the city. Nor am I an asceticist. Nor have I achieved Buddha-nature. So I guess you could say it's sort of a metaphor.

Why not just cut the bottom half off two cats and duct tape them together, legs facing out? /Window seat

I think any other fellow StartupSchool alumns reading this would agree that he gave one of the best talks of the day back in April.

Zero-point energy is predicted by both the leading quantum physics and relativity models. This is like 70 years old.
Think of it as tech celebrity gossip. Tomorrow we'll discuss whether or not RMS's boobs are real.
It was made by Microsoft.
Surely the government would not fund such a caper.
what about all the government insiders who have spoken out about the government's role in 9/11 and gotten fired. Do they not count?
DVD Jon says you can trick the shirt by jacking off while working out.
So I take it you support Carnivore and the DMCA then?

Since Bill Clinton classed his penis as a state secret.

I did use Chiasmus, but Chiasmus use does often come in handy.
