I'm just pointing out that "going through a filter" for adwords isn't what should allay people's concerns with gmail. Gmail, just like any other email provider, can read your shit. That's what I use. I won't use it to discuss my murder scheme or my terrorist attack.
I feel the opposite. A year and a half ago, I ran out of clean clothes and wore a suit to work. My boss was mildly intimidated and quit treating me like his child. So I continued dressing more nicely than anyone in IT and he continued treating me like an adult... for a month or two. Still wear the slightly nicer clothes though.
Our help desk staff is worse dressed than anyone in the company, but they are
crawling underneath desks
paid less
so who gives a shit?
Ms Moss believes money should be no object when it comes to dressing well.
Either Australians use that phrase differently than we do, or Ms Moss was misunderstood, or she can curl up and die. Money's no object when it comes to feeding your kids. That is, oddly enough, a higher priority for our help desk staff. Sorry if that means the folks at Gap have to fleece a few more idiots to make keep up on their BMW leases.
No one here cares that our lead technician wears Raider-motif shirts to work. He's the best tech we've ever had.
Most of/.'s readership doesn't read comments. I'm sure Digg users are even less interested in comments, because their comments are a steaming pile.
So comparing their comment statistics doesn't mean anything./. could descend into bankruptcy without losing any ground in # of comments, and that would probably be how things went if/. ever did fade. Because the people who comment here and like it aren't leaving for a site that doesn't have a similar moderation system that mostly works.
The worst thing about these idiot self-actualization blog fanatics is that they don't even understand who uses blogs. Blogs aren't your venue to fame and fortune, and the vast majority of bloggers are perfectly fine with this. They just want to post something that their six friends are into. Sometimes, they just want to say something for themselves, like in a paper journal.
Livejournal is filled with 13 year olds blathering about nothing important. And it's my favorite site on the internets. If it's good enough for jwz...
Seriously, though, whatever your timing plan is, it's going to be screwed up by them adding 15 seconds to they inform you about the wonderous classic movie that everyone loves that you are about to watch.
Idiots. No one has anything to gain from that idiotic claim, including feminists. Since it's just plain bullshit, the only people that spout that crap also tend to be big fans of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
Unless you consider that a feminist work, in which case I have no hope for you.
Any recent release of The Wizard Of Oz has a several second long text overlay in the beginning, so the old method of pressing play when the lion roared is no longer effective. It's tricky, but still it's at least as much fun as listening to Dark Side of the Moon without a video to go along, and that's a lot of fun.
And that is the business rationale for perpetual copyright: If Ron Howard's The Grinch is the *ONLY* movie you can legally watch this Christmas, then innovators like the estate of Dr. Seuss will be well rewarded. Woo.
Yes, I know you aren't advocating perpetual patents for the good of Nintendo.
As a result, you get situations like in the Netherlands where each of the 4 largest cities in the country have a first generation immigrant/transmigration populations of over 40% each. Or in Malmö, Sweden where Swedes are now the single largest ethnic minority, even counting second generation immigrants/transmigrants as Swedes, regardless of assimilation.
There is also the problem of double standards...
WAIT! Where was the first problem? What's wrong with the scenario you've described in that paragraph? Were those immigrants better off where they came from? Did they take Malmö by force?
WTF does your complaint have to do with music videos?
Did I say that you should go watch top 40s music videos, whether you like it or not? No, no I did not. I said that if I had music videos for all the songs that I already like, I could watch them or listen to them just the same.
Unless it's a music video that you can play just for the audio, in which case it will get at least as much replay as a song. And you can watch it if'n'when you like.
I totally disagree with all y'all video-replay-haters.
If I had a music video for every one of the tracks I've got on my iPod right now, I'd be deliriously happy. On my computer now, I've got only about 30 music videos, but boy is it rad to be able to alt-tab over to iTunes when "On" by Aphex Twin starts playing and watch it. If that were in my pocket on the subway, all the better.
I wouldn't *have* to take it out of my pocket and watch it. It's still one of my favorite songs.
With music videos integrated into your audio playlists, of course they have replay value. I agree that I don't want to rewatch the last episode of "LOST" but I don't have a TV and I didn't want to watch that in the first place. I'm not sure I belong in the conversation. 'Till they have the Daily Show or the News Hour available for download, I'm not really interested.
Dunno why Kevin Pollak is particularly responsible for Christopher Walken's dancing celebrity. Christopher Walken has been doing excellent Christopher Walken impersonations for most of his career.

So you're saying you'd use ad-supported Windows, but only on computers that would never be looked at?
Me too. In fact, I'd like to start offering the floor under my carpet as billboard space for clearchannel. Win-win for everyone.

Heh. That's rad. I hope someone took photos.

Hope you're trolling.
Every company with giant projects screws up a release date once in a while. Apple's protected memory OS slipped over and over again. Shit happens.

They typically say that livejournal started in 1999, but there are some posts in the dev's journals from December 1998.

Maybe he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of J.D. Shapely, the AIDS martyr.
Oh. And that would work. I guess I dunno.
I have no idea where that bullshit originated. Some idiot pop-psychologist, or one research study that was misinterpreted and blown out of proportion.

If you think that feminists are the ones saying that women are better at multitasking, then you are an idiot.

Not to mention HTML.
No need to be a pernicious dickhead.

Did I say that you should go watch top 40s music videos, whether you like it or not? No, no I did not. I said that if I had music videos for all the songs that I already like, I could watch them or listen to them just the same.
What was complicated about that?
