In order to upgrade my c+ in physics to a B, I had to attend this workshop/experiment kind of thing at the University of Maryland. As it happens, it was on color and color blindness and the spectrum and so forth, and it was pretty interesting (i only slept for 90% of it). The only problem with it was that at the end, everyone was like "I know I'm color blind now I just never had proof." The color blind tests are pretty freaky, and i think a lot of people would like to believe that they are because they're scared they are or they want sympathy.
My friend did a few experiments with color paper just to fuck around with a few of us (and he needed something for school). What he did was cut out a small piece of colored paper, and while we had our eyes closed, he would stick it almost directly under our eye. When we opened our eye, we had to identify what color it was. The funny thing was, you'd almost ALWAYS identify the opposite color on the spectrum. For instance, when I had a piece of black stuck under my eye, I identified it as white, and when my friends would have green stuck under their eye, they'd see red. It was quite odd and I really didnt understand how it worked, but maybe someone on/. can explain it?
Yes, and it fucking freaks me OUT. It's like that quote "Every rule has an exception, and this is the only rule without an exception", because once you start thinking about it your mind goes into [snort][computer geek laugh] an infinite loop. This is how I thought it out. "What if color blind people see white but still see it as red... wait, maybe I'm color blind? Am I sure I'm not mismatching colors just because I'm used to my color perception? What if I'm the real color blind one, not seeing the real color while color blind people see the real colors, and they're undistingushable? And whatever happened to Chevy Chase?" My mind would go through this loop for like an hour before I took a shower and carefully banged my head against the keyboard.

I never understood why people would pay 50 dollars for basically the same game they got a year before. The weapons are almost always the same. The game play is always the same (first person shooter). The ideas are always basically the same: get keys, shoot bad guys, open doors, save earth. Else then boost in graphics, I think the game play almost always stays the same.
I loved Doom & Quake... in eight grade. I think it's bad for us that ID has had such success selling their first person shooters. By selling a couple million games, no one can dispute their financial success and customer loyalty, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm not buying another ID game until they redesign it head to foot. Their success has stiffled their ability to produce another game breaking game, but oh well. I'm sure they'll suprise me and release something brilliant while I'm not looking.

Microsoft hopes to use book to show it won browser battle fairly

A forthcoming book by a couple of literary unknowns is about to get extraordinary publicity in the Microsoft Corp. antitrust trial
How pathetic is this, that they're obviously trying to put pro-MS articles in non relevant search results? ughhh I can't find anything on the web without getting a dick full of prop-o-ganda!
Trollific: possibly, offtopic: no. I speak of how I am going to UTILIZE the explot to grow the largest collection of porn ever. Oh well, those are dem breaks. =\
With this and the cookie bug, Netscape seems to be in quite the large hole. I've seen a lot of reports about Mozilla and previous netscape version exploits, and the publicity has been nothing been bad for the past few years. With decreasing market share and profitability at a minimum, I wonder about Netscapes future. While Sun and AOL have continued to be profitable and progressive, Netscape has been the slow brother. More then anything, a lose of faith and hope for Netscape has all but disappeared and the company I once saw as the solution to the Microsoft monopoly has been slain with nothing but their own laziness and bad decisions. By focusing on their web portal and ignoring their browser, they consequently lost their hold on the browser market that they always believed they'd have.
I know this might be offtopic, but I feel it has to be addressed. Netscape, in my view, wouldn't have survived without the merger with AOL and Sun. Some of us may still hold hopes for Netscape, but for me... my hopes are but dust in the wind
If I turn on file sharing (i have a cable modem), the entire neighborhood has access to my shared files. Kind of inconvinient if you have a small LAN set up in a home environment, but else then that, cable modems and the service are quite good.:)
Well, I don't plan on moving to germany just because i'm unsatisfied with the browser. nor is the icab project open source (they're planning on making the pro version a pay for version). and (on topic here), they have poor XML/XHTML support. oh well =(
Well, if I want to keep more then one browser window open and a slashdot article open (flat of course), then I have to increase the memory portion to about 12-15 MB. I'm not saying that iCab isn't with its nice features (slick design, small processor hog, simple features). but still, i cant use it 24/7, becuase with out support for secure servers i cant do a lot of things i want to =|
Actually, I use iCab, for some browsing. No full javascript support, no support for secure servers? Not much of a browser if you ask me. Plus it botches a lot of html (espn.com) and gets drained of memory quickly, but those are my 2 cents.
As little and as poor implentation as XML recieved in ie 5 and mozilla, I see no reason to keep submitting myself to learning useless tools. The W3C makes some great standards but they always seem to be correctly implemented 10 years after they're created (I don't think HTML has ever been correctly done across the board). The W3C would be more effective if they pushed there use in browsers faster, but then again Microsoft and Netscape do little things right in the first place, so why bother! =)
Yah, in 8th grade (about 6 years ago) when I got in trouble with the Law & AOL, they had every single conversation (including emails) logged. I wouldn't be suprised if a lot of email systems already do self-snooping. I was pretty freaked out when the feds showed me about 200 pages of logs from chat rooms, email, and instant messages.
But then again, I don't think a lot of terrorists or hackers prefer the glitter and the privacy invasion of "You've Got Mail", so Carnivore has it's place.
No kidding. This is outrageous. How am I suppose to whore if I don't get any karma. If this continues for much longer people might have to start making thought-out and meaningful posts.
Thinking eh? Is that something I can find in a newsgroup?
Piracy has always been around and will always be. It's just that with Napster/Gnutella, the piracy is much more visible (20 million people using your software does attract attention). Therefore when the people suffering or claiming to suffer from piracy (i'd be happy to lose -30 billion dollars Mr. RIAA) have a much easier way of stiffling piracy (attacking a company such as Napster) by getting the politicians (fed to the bone with contributions) to pass stiffer laws and allowing the FBI to give anal probes to anyone suspected of having pirated material. Pirating should be a difficult thing, and making it easy with software only makes it subject to legal attacks.
Unfortunately, the indirect result of all this "legal" (or illegal - depending on your perspective) file-sharing software will be the diteriation of our liberties because of bureauFatCats in Washington under the gun from their big money contributors. Oh well... time to move to Canada [frown]
I speak of a four legged chair with only 3 legs. Like a dog with only 3 legs that you have to carry around on a cart. They, like old people, are not stable. Sorry for the confusion.
As this stated in this MSNBC article, Carnivore is just a good idea and system with a bad name. br"The need for a system such as Carnivore may be regrettable, but it is a necessary evil. And, just like a police search of your home or a wiretap of your phone, the FBI can use its Carnivore system only with a judge's permission." I dunno, it's a trade-off: personal safety for personal liberties. Everything has it's price, including safety.
