Actually I did shoot a BB gun at a cat once, I still laugh when I think about it. Shot the cat in the butt with my BB gun pumped once. That damn cat jumped 4 feet in the air and took off like a lightning bolt. Then he fell asleep on my bed that night, cat's dont hold grudges.
Oh yeah, and I am not a serial killer or child molestor, contrary to what psych teaches about people who torture animals;)
Hmm, this just made me realize that I must not follow the "normal" browsing patterns (if there are really such things). A typical search for me starts out by me going to google and entering my, usually very specific, query. I will then start looking at about the first 10 hits, reading the blurb, and going to the ones that I think will answer my question. Once there I wll give the site a really quick look over for the information that I am looking for. If I do not see the information I will quickly hit the back button and go to the next on the list. Unless a site give's me the information I am looking for very quickly I will not stay long, and I very very rarely even bother to look for links from that site. If a once through the top fifty doesn't do any good, I will usually refine my query. I say usually because I am never consistent. I must say that when I do find a good site, and the links good I will bookmark that site and use it often. I really dont think type of searching would interest me that much because I don't like "prepackaged" search results, mostly because my ideas of categories dont flow with what someone elses ideas are.
Damn, it's a good thing Linus didn't/doesn't subscribe to this philosophy. From what I read it sounds like he really wants to keep the project up, but he needs help. If I find a free minute I might look at the spells and see if I can help out, maybe you should do the same.
I've created some seattop fusion, some of the bubbles weren't so tiny though, and I had no idea fusion smelled that bad. The energy release was remarkable though.
I personally like the little mushrooms growing in the gold hills in the cave in Aladdin. The hooka gadget the dude is selling in the opening scene is another nice touch. In fact I personally blame Aladdin for turning me to pot, and for my waste of several hundreds of hours watching movies like Aladdin looking for mushrooms and hooka's.
Dont their "sponsored links" that appear on the on the page do the exactly what they claim that they will never do?
I'm not saying that Googles results are tainted, but in a way they are. If you do a search on Google for computer hardware the first two links to appear are sponsored links by Dell and Amazon. There are also three other sponsored links (obviously not as expensive as the top two) on the right side of the page. I really think that Google is doing it right, but them saying that they don't take dollars for search result placement is a bit misleading.
I just take a little issue with Google claiming that they are "above" the whole marketing thing. Google has to make a buck just like everyone else, and that is fine, just please don't do it and act like you don't, that just makes you look like a politician.
I could not agree more. What really makes me mad is that for some reason many people in the U.S. believe that corporations are inherintly evil, and the government is here to help you and is your friend.
When was the last time a corporation took away a persons right to speak, or to practice the religion of their choice? If you have a hard time answering this question go look at the situation of the people in China.
Most corporations are not evil, they're out there trying to make a buck off of you, and there is nothing wrong with that. Yeah advertising sucks, especially in it's current form, but if you ask me taxes suck a lot worse. If I dont like advertising there are things that I can do about it, turn off the T.V. and read a book for example. If I don't like taxes, or agree with where that money is going, there is really nothing I can do about it because the people in authority don't need or have to listen to me, and they have control of the laws. You can argue about lobbyists and special interest groups, but congress is slowly taking that away from us in the form of campaign finance reform.
There are also laws that protect a countries citizens from a badly behaving corporation, the laws do not work well because the corporations can buy what they need to get around them, but the principal is there. The principal is also there to protect a person from their government (I am speaking primarily about the U.S. here because that is the only experience I have. So I apologize for being U.S. centric.) in the form of the constitution, but that is slowly being eroded by the very people we elect to uphold it. To me at least there is a sort of spider web safety net that protects me from a bad corporation, and I have a choice in which ones I support, but there is no such apparent safety net when it comes to the government.
This is just my $0.02 worth, but it's the government being able to read my email that scares me a hell of a lot more than some "evil" corporation wanting to sell me the latest widget.

HAHAHAHA That is the funniest piece of UW FUD I've read in a long time. I haven't been back to P-Town in a couple of years, and I forgot how absolutely pathetic people from the UW are. First of all dont even talk to me about M$ money, trying to find a company using Linux is Seattle is like trying to find a virgin at a UW sorority. The UW football program makes all of its money selling drugs and guns to the poor black folk who live in downtown Seattle, and the have an absolutely wicked basketball team NOT.
Why dont you go back and crawl under whatever half-calf frap crap mocha ganja chino latte you crawled out from under and wank off till your purple and gold in the face. BTW that's not even gold, its the color of the diareah that came out of my ass after eating the nasty food found on University Ave. You've probably never been on that street though because your scared of gangstas. How do I know you're scared of gangstas? Because you're from Bellevue and go to BCC.
Bye bye now, have a nice time learning all about Bill from the paid off professors at UW.
I grew up in Pullman, went to WSU for 3 years (droped out as a freshman:) and am proud to still call myself a Cougar. I know this is completely offtopic, but I'll take the bitch slap. WSU has a great Agriculture department, as well as a really good Vet. school, lots of Betties, and some wicked parties. This is the first time I have ever seen an article on/. about the school, and it fills my heart with pride to see the crimson and grey up there. Props to all of my buddies roaming the hallowed halls of Sloan hall. GO COUGS!!!!

Neither do Americans. If we did Harry Browne would be in office. The fact that we have a 20-40% federal income tax, along with all of the state taxes proves that we dont have a say in anything, our votes just go into a big circular file at the end of an election. The electoral college process is completely screwed up, congress is a mess (that is the real problem, not the president), and the lobby system is out of control. If the U.S. was a computer and the government was the operating system, my professional opinion would be to format and start over from scratch with something that actually works right instead of this you scratch my back while I stab yours piece of crap system that we have now. Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave, and Abraham Lincoln started it all. No, I'm not bitter.
Imagine being able to download the actual scene files for a movie like Shrek and being able to render and watch them in real time. I wonder how the movie studios would feel about that?
Would most definately have to be Brainf*ck. I really think it fits the bill for what you are looking for. It has great OO support, and is extremely easy to learn. The code you will create with it is tight and fast, and the possibilities are endless with what you can do with it.
That code is a complete program, and will actually print out..."Hello, World!" can you believe it? In only 4 lines? Surely you jest? I can honestly tell you the answer is no, and dont call me Shirly. There are even rumors of bf supporting.NET with the upcoming * operator in version 6. Check it out, you wont be sorry.
Does this mean that all of the links on the web are going to become <http://slashdot.org> [copy the text between the tags into your browsers address bar and hit enter]??
I am thinking about doing something similar with a reef tank that I am going to build. Hook a cheap 486 or pentium up to all of the monitors and dosers that I need to run the tank. I would also like to hook it up to the light ballasts and pumps and have them controlled by some sort of software that mimics the sun and moonlight in the corals natural habitat. What would be really cool is some sort of random cloud generation, as well as random storms in the winter. Even some water temperature variations would be nice.
I was origionally going to use X10 for the design, but I am going to look closer at his custom designs and possibly use those. I really would like to stay away from X10 because of those damn popup windows that they started. I really dont want to support that sort of company.
I am really glad he did this project, it really gives me some good ground work on which to base my smaller project on.
