Internet Hunting
·
· Score: 1
In Mt Rogers National Recreation Area in Virginia. It is hunting season. These guys are jokes. I hunted until I was 22 or so then quit because of drunk rednecks shooting at anything that moves and pulling pistols over my dead buck (really happened: he saw me shoot it and stole the deer from me at gunpoint). I saw guys hunting in pairs this past weekend with more equipment than wits. Using GPS, wireless comm, laser sights, etc. What a fucking joke. I shot my first deer when 12 with a.270 that had no scope and had to cut its throat for a coup d'grace. I still get the willys thinking about it.
I have two beefs. 1. Time compression. No you can't do most of those tests that quickly or, even, that accurately. 2. Junk Science. A lot of what they show is just not there yet (or is just plain discredited. See: determining race from bone structure), especially some of the forensic anthropology techniques. All and all, anything that displays what science can do (esp good things) is never all bad! I am in the middle of National Geography Awareness Week. Interfacing with kids about world music (this year's theme) and such might not seem like science to most, but it opens their eyes to what is possible in academia and, in a way, in science.
This may be the nicest thing anyone's ever said about Jeeves
Piffle. Bertie Wooster has many nice things to say about Jeeves. Why just the other day, I popped into the Drones for a dash of the t. and g. and no other than Bertram Wooster himself was holding forth at the billiards table, singing high praises of Jeeves, his valet. I believe the tone was something like, "The old boy has a large protrubence at the top-back of his head. That's where the brain is. It comes from eating fish and reading some crime novelist named Spinoza."
Your guy lost. Your reported anomilies aren't going to change that. Get over it
Not the point. Anomalies must be accounted for in any system and proven to not be part of a larger problem in the system. Nobody is trying to dethrone Emperor Bush. Would you still be happy if he HAD been elected because of such an anomaly and not by a fair vote? Your answer to that question better not be "Yes."
I was hoping for a mod of interesting but I will do with a funny. I am a geography grad student, but not a physical geographer, so I take the prof's word on faith.:-) Having identified glaciate valleys in Costa Rica, I should take it on much more that faith, no?
So what you are saying is "Please list examples, except the ones that illustrate your point. Those don't count."
Exactly. Because Bush's little war is not about terrorism. The analogy would be that terrorism=Fascism. "They hate our freedom!" is one of my favortite quotes. Islamists don't care about our freedom. It is essentially a crude religous territorialism constrained to an area of the world that just happens to sit on top of the lifeblood of the American economy. The war on terror is not analogous to any other conflict in American history.
Second, WWII was fought by a fuckload of other countries whose people died by the millions. The US lost 292000 war dead in WWII combat. Yugoslavia lost 300000 combat dead in a population less than 20 percent of the US pop. And, here's a shock, they did it (Tito and the partisans) with almost no US help. None. As a matter of fact, the US was hated by the Partisans because we supplied the pro-Nazi fighters under Mihailovic with weapons. Yep. It happened.
Rule 1: Do not include any that involved a true coalition and broad international consensus. Rule 2: It must be a world-saving act, such as defeating Fascism.
An example of violating Rule 1 but not Rule 2 would be WWII.
I got a peek last week at what the folks at Google's Local shop are working on for delivering maps and such to media enabled phones. If you think the recent purchase of an internet mapping service is just more money happiness after a recent IPO, you are wrong. Yahoo has a LOOOOOONG way to go to catch up.
GRASS just went to version 5.7. It is a decent package. My caveat about GIS software is that unless you have a firm background in geographical theory you better be careful with products like ArcGIS. Talk about a double-edged sword.
Think about the question and then the answer. Perl's job is both to replace tools AND patch together other tools. There are plenty of Perl programs I have written that do not use the input or output of another program, but I have done some mighty work with Perl where it saves the old ass at 4AM by taking divergent, incompatible crap from one program, fixes said output, and puts it to another piece of shit program that is sixpence none the wiser.
And I see no need to switch to Python. My question is: How easy is it to wrap your code in a library/module and call it your own so you can call it your way? When I tried Python, my first impression was that this was a really readable and relatively easy language to program in, but it just wasn't a Swiss-Army chain saw. You were doing things over and reinventing the wheel all the time. This might have been just me. I admit to being a bigot and a classic pig-headed perl person, but with the nightmare that is Perl6 on the horizon, I need to start considering alternatives.
Search thomas.loc.gov. It will be voted on. On other matters concerning the draft, they can't keep 'stop lossing' forever and the second most insecure job in the US Military is the one in charge of recruitment. People are not lining up to join. It is just a matter of time.
Did you think it was strange that bert and ernie used to live together ?
What? They broke up? Oh, shit. I have to create an iMix for them. Bert can handle the break-up, but Ernie is so fragile. I'll just take them both to Ibiza with me, maybe they'll get back together.
But, seriously, Snufalupukus is a goddamn paedophile.
It's not a draft (H.R. 163) it's "National Service." But wait, OH NO! It is proposed by Democrats! And these are actually Democrats who served in the Military! That's impossible! Those guys are all fags and communists! What wait? No college exemption! Where will all of the future Dick Cheneys hide? I mean, this is good for blacks and hispanics. They'll learn valuable job skills, but who is going to go to the University of Chicago and follow his own agenda? I mean, what about the American way?
Who fired first? What is your opinion on Han firing first? Was it justified? Is he a murderer or a hero? What about revisionist editing by Lucas? Should all/.'ers who get bent out of shape over such matters be detained at Guantanamo Bay? Or just CmdrTaco?
Egads. Babelfish translations are so bad they are funny. I had never tried to use it before. Just reading Der Spiegel in German reveals that the Dusseldorf TV station guys weren't particularly looking for the Buran shuttle. They were covering something to do with Formula 1 racing in Bahrain. I think it was a sort of 'Hey, you cats wanna see something cool' kinda trip on the part of the Sheik.

And, as my geomorph prof insists, they are not U-shaped, they are second-order polynomial shaped. Which is U-shaped, but different, somehow. :-)
Listen I wanted GW out of office as much as the next guy
Actually, the next guy probably wanted Bush re-elected...
Should we start brushing up on our Mandarin?
Did you go Rick Boucher's way? Great tech advocate, that guy....
While Bush has made mistakes (Iraq), there is no reason to suspect that he will repeat them
While science has failed to produce an AIDS vaccine, there is no reason to say it won't.
Ah, positivism....

I just posted this to my web log
Nobody read it here either....

You can google the news
Logic being that if it is indexed by Google, therefore you can trust it.
