I wish Bethesda would realise this, and stop making games with stupid interfaces for the consoles knowing us PC elder scrolls obssesives will just make our own better UI.
I mean yeah we'll keep doing it but its a lot of work. and this new navigation UI seems to involve a whole lot of "What the hell does that mean?" type systems that cant be properly envisioned.
So, in the days when we just watched the country most ill-favored communication network grab hold of a significant media presence and remove the people they didnt like, its Google we should go after? No. We should go after the illegal monopolies of Comcast and other media giants. Google is not doing very good things, this is true. But it does not represent the immediate threat that groups like Comcast pose to free speech.
Yeah, I know what you mean. How incompetent are these guys? Only being able to roughly guess at events happening massive amounts of space away and in the past of incredibly tiny bodies and their general composition from a satellite lightyears away. What a bunch of losers.
-Snark Ends Here-
Pluto lost its designation as a planet, become a..Keuiper belt object? Correct me if im wrong, the ice bodies + area of the sun's effective reach causes me some confusion. When we found several similar, larger objects. in this context, gettng "Plutoed" is a false incident where relation to previous status makes the laymen think it somehow gained lesser status, whether or not this is the case.
Because some of us like seeing the scientific method in action. For some reason, having a cabal of people behind closed doors never showing but always claiming is more like RELIGION than science. If you cant handle the mistakes, get off slashdot. Science requires mistakes and mistakes require corrections.
If we made no mistakes we'd know everything and thus would not need to be screaming at idiots on Slashdot.
We dont have magic. While it would be GREAT if we had a cheat sheet listing all the possible conditions life can manifest, we do not. We have to work on the only successful model we can be sure of: Us. We have to keep our eyes open yes, but its the only thing we know.
For looking back and IMMEDIATLY retracting their previous assessment when the data proved faulty. A triumph of science indeed. Don't let all the people who think a flawless god made everything; the most flawed will be barking hte loudest.
We admit error. They turn it into religion.
I hate when my party does crap like this. Im no perfectionist, and I dont like seeing anyone be smashed repeatedly for things they dont deserve, no matter their side. But this kinda crap is beyond acceptable, and we all know it. Sadly, this did not come up during the elections. So, all we can do is pressure our party to stop being jerks and investigating the CRIMES, not the people who report them.
No onei n this country trusts authority any more, no matter which side of the isle. This is the kinda thing that everyone in power does, that makes us distrust them.
'If left alone, the best bulb will win its rightful standing in the marketplace. Government doesn't need to be in the business of telling people what light bulb they have to use.' This statement is so full of implied propaganda and warped talking points as to be worthy of pity. We know the line. We know the lie. It comes again as does Bill O'reilly's god raising the sun (good timing by the way, too fast and we'd burn up all those corral reefs. Thats how it works right, the sun goes into the ocean and creates tides from the boiling?)
Every single time since Obama was elected that he phrase "government doesnt need to tell people what to do" has been applied to every damn thing whether it should or should not be. No, see, the government DOES need to tell people what to do. If they dont, you get stupid crap like blaming a current president for a past president's action with no irony. You get stupid stuff like, a bunch of incoherent tea party protests that had no message and often lied about being racist while holding racist signs. You get a 24/7 media circus surrounding this stupidness, and not even a casual mention of the massive teacher strike.
Except by the right of course, whose leaders believe its okay to shoot the protestors. And you get stupid stuff like Tennessee proposing a 15 YEAR prison sentence for practicing "Shariah Law." When you dont have the government to smack idiots upside the head now and then, you get clowns like these who can simultaneously scream that they are being oppressed, while oppressing others.
My favorite example of this subtle attack happend during the "9/11 mosque" story that dissapeard without a peep after they ran out of antimuslim insults. A woman came to a town hall meeting in another place to discuss plans already approved to allow a mosque. They were against it. This one woman, she just sat down there and squeezed her christian bible to her chest.
Hypocrites. The Lot of em. At least she didnt break the leviticus chapter where women arent allowed to speak. Otherwise they wouldve had to stone her right then and there.
First off, the "free market' is imaginary. Nothing having to do with money is anything but a construct that only exists as we all will it to. Anyone who espouses the superiority of a "free market" should be suspect as a result. Not to mention, when did "Free Market" become "Illegal Monopoly Friendly"? whats too much?
Sadly, capitalism just did more damage to our world than any other economic collapses, probably in the history of time. At least communism had the decency to collapse in on itself. Truly, there is but one solution. One real solution, to stop this. Get rid of the damned money. Get rid of the free market. NONE OF IT IS REAL. Its all imaginary! This is why monetary issues disgust me so, so very much. They are lies, deceits, and means of control. A market is not anything, money is not anything. It has no basis on anything, and has no affect on anything. Unless we decide otherwise. Then we must all agree on it.
Its not that capitalism failed. or communism. Its that every-single-economic-system has collapsed or is in the process of doing so! And its all because of this..insane idea that if we wish hard enough, itll work. Its wrong.
Weelll...thing is though, our brains dont work very much like computers. We obliterate from memory events that do not matter often. At the very best they are degraded into a very very weak signal.
I have records of my computer of the first day it was turned on; i can even reset it to there. I remember almost nothing from when i was young. One was a spiral road leading out of my preschool, another is, annoyingly enough, getting a diaper changed. Another is of finding neato cardboard blocks (brick-like, for stacking for fun.) for christmas, and another is my little brother on the day after his birth.
Note that I dont remember, at all, my mom being pregnant. At one point I hurt my eye. If I recall correctly, it was when I hooked up my NES to my commodore screen to play mario 3. As i started i got a screaming jabbing pain in my right eye.
One of the weirder ones is I remember watching part of the movie "Jacob's Ladder." When I was 2-3. That did not help things, as I had a single scene (guy catatonic, nude on back, staring up in white room) that for TWO DECADES I couldnt identify. Fortunately I ememberd my brother was with me at the time, and by consulting with him we were able to work it out. That movie's horrific, by the way. My parents are insane.
I also have all these children books/cartoons from when iwas young with single events all that remains. Heres a great example: I rememebrd acartoon on nickelodeon that had a scene...A farmer thought his cow was possessed cause its stomach talked. So he killed the cow and you saw in shilloute the guy tossing a stomach shaped object away. W..T...F. I have an EXTREMELY specific mental feeling associated with this scene and nothing else. I cant explain what it is, it is wholly alien except from that-one-scene.
The more fairy tale oriented folks will of course, recognize this story as Tom Thumb. This also took me two decades to be able to remember. typing "cow stomach possed cut out and thrown away" or "Movie in white room man on conveyor belt 1908s" is an entirely unhelpful way.
I wish my brain was like a computer. Id delete middle school and get a real third eye installed. No way in hell am i going to jam a trephine into my head again. I'd also get rid of that strange emotion connected to that scene.
We were all set to record the 250 exabyte mark, and then you posted this story. No one cares about the 250.000000000001st exabyte. Way to spoil things for everyone.
I honestly didnt realise one could reject such things. I thought it was restricted to the organic. I mean, what happens when it rejects something? Is that what happens when a surgeon leaves a metal part in someone, and they heal over it? Or is it when that happens without the healing part?
You know, you could be constructive. Starting off with an attack gets you hostile responses.
You act like this doesnt piss us off too. You act like we are always in favor of this stuff. we are NOT. Your pathetic attempts at attacking need to stop. Bush imposed "Free speech zones" on the people, so he would never have to see a protest. Bush allowed torture. Bush said god told him to kill iraqis.
Obama's administration isnt perfect. No ones is, and we have to keep reminding them of things like this, which we dont like.
But people like you, who would rather spend your time attacking and bitching, are making this even harder. When a bunch of tea party lunatics threatening violence if bills that dont exist arent repealed, it becomes very hard to point out the more subtle problems.
I would VERY much like if you'd stop doing things like that, and started talking about the real issues, and the real problems, not the false narrative your side has built up. This isnt constructive, its not insightful. Its just screaming at the wind, the same youve been doing for two years. Screaming and screaming, and when the opportunity to help make things better comes along, you scream louder and cover your ears.
You wanna talk about problems, we dont mind. There are a lot and there always will be. But this sort of immature, partisan and clearly provocative line of comments will only contribute to your attrition. When people leave the right, they dont come back. No one leaves the left, because its obvious the right is insane. Though I dont condone wars of attrition, you have done everything you can to throw yourself into that situation.
Please speak constructively, and give comments that you cant find a thousand times anytime this administraiton does anything, wrong or not. It just muddles things, and honestly, it makes your side look like its full of idiots or liars.
Bad sample or not it really doesnt matter. This statistic is true in basically every case. The only times when it isnt is when the distro companies try to force an outdated medium on us; CD sales drop because everyone hates CDs. Who wants to pay $20 for two songs you like an 10 songs that amount to little more than filler? Trying to gouge us by making us buy huge packages of channels we do not want and will not watch is what's hurting TV, not piracy. And if piracy is hurting games, which I doubt, its only because of the ridiculous crippling DRM and the inability to try a game in a reasonable manner before you buy in most cases.
When I download something in such a manner, the moment im sure i'll like the game, I hop out and buy it. Civilization 4, Age of Mythology, Age of Empires 2, ROller Coaster Tycoon..I wouldnt have bought any of these if I hadnt tried them first. Money can be tight and at $50 a game, I cant afford to buy games im not sure i'll like.
Well, yes, they are, but really thats a lot more palatable isnt it? Its a lot nicer to think that we can hold the internet being taken down on a single jackass with an itchy trigger finger. Realising that it takes many many people working in concert to intentionally remove the ability of a large segment of the population from communicating, and realising that that is what just happend, is wholly depressing.
Does this "not dying" thing include tools that exists solely for demonstration of historical applications? And does it include earlier versions that are wholly inferior of more current versions? If no, then:
Arrow shaft straightener. That weird thing they used to make joust lances...you know, the one with the two rotating ends and the crank that would make it spin around all wobbly. We may use things like that, but not that. You could also include most swords and polearms. I do not think things that exist only because they look neat is a good reason to consider a tool not-dead.
But thats just my opinion.
For some reason, people like being kinda stupid and magicy with science. I remember that one movie, the "what the bleep.." atrocity. It feels like that. Or like any time someone magics up cold fusion with a stick of metal and another stick of metal.
For way, WAY too long this world, and this country, have followed the cheaper-is-better model. And its not just from one incident, everyone seems to want things done the cheapest. Well, you get a cheaply made home or a power drill cobbled together from harvested parts, and you're probably not going to get the most reliable tool. If you build computer systems cheap, and you make those computers do a whole lot of probably not very well encrypted, and really simply patterned things, far faster than a human could ever model, and then give this system control of basically all the worlds floating wealth, stuffs gonna start going wrong. It used to not matter, back when things would just fall on people. But now that same ethic is losing money. With any luck, we'll learn the lesson and start building things to last again. Just my two cents rant.
We all saw this one coming. My old school is still using ORIGINAL IMACS for gods sake. This is a high school. one that promotes "Computer Science" despite macs being closer to potpourii than they are to science. It really is bad cause they're like 13 years old. Way to set people up for humiliation once they get out of their colorful plastic bubbles and actually need a computer that does something besides act as a really big ipod.
Okay but heres the thing--this is NOT a fight over political convictions. That would be one thing. No, this is a fight being started by religious people who dont like established science getting in the way of whatever new interpretation of their religion they come up with next. Its not a matter of policy, its not a matter of social constructs. It is a matter of SCIENCE. They deny science (even while actively using the internet to do so...) and they deny its fundamental principles, and they deny any connection between human-scale events and geological scale events.
When people start claiming that light was created in transit 6000 years ago to APPEAR as if it were billions of lightyears away...Well, its no longer about ideology. Its about intelligence and wisdom versus anti-intellectualism and fear. And while those forces are violent and ugly, they tend to burn out very fast.
Just like the stars they claim dont exist -- Being told the earth would need a gigantic furnace near it in order to overtake local entropy, even as the sun shines in their eyes -- is very painful to hear. Even worse is when my co-worker asked me "How can the sun keep burning if there isnt air in space?" Aside from wanting to make an "Air in space museum" joke, this wrenched my chest a bit, and evoked a level of helpless pity ive never since encounterd.
So..Im confused. Im too sick too work, and since im too sick to work I cant get health insurance,and cause i cant get health insurance I cant go to work to afford health insurance, and so on.
And this is my fault? Because I was in such a catastrophic accident, I should just lay down here and die quietly? You can pretend its about money all you want. It isnt. Its about basic human decency, the SAME basic human decency we demand from all aspects of society.
Can you make your computer? Give it to us. Do you understand how to make a successful business online? Then get off. If you wanna whine about the awful non-neutral internet, maybe you should do it with one of those other telephony systems. You seem to so enjoy going to strawman level extremes while professing a level of clairsentience that lets you both see the actions of all the left-wingers, and read their thoughts and emotions with perfect accuracy.
Or you're making things up about people you dont like, with information given to you by people who dont like the people you dont like, and viewing everything done anywhere through that broken lense.
So either theres a superduper left wing conspiracy that is REALLY BAD at what it does, especially compared to anyone else who ever tried, or your side is greedy and selfish and will do all they can for political and financial gain, leaving us to clean up your mess.
I hope you can reconcile this soon. The feather of Ma'at is surpsingly light, and Ammit is usually hungry.
