And putting pressure on the remains of my foot hurts. Congrats, like me you're a cripple. The main difference is that I don't begrudge people who can walk from enjoying it. Be glad it's such a minor disability, could be a whole lot worse than having some movies be unavailable.
Nope. Chris Eliot told me that the sun is the hottiest planet in the universe and that it'd burn my tongue if I tried to eat it. The show get a life is provider of all wisdom, and can tell no lie.
That's among the things which made me laugh at all their protests about protecting the quality of their name. Skype works great on windows and pretty well on osx. That's two platforms out of a multitude they have clients for. And outside of those two, skype is by default buggy and with insane design flaws. Quality software is the last thing I've ever thought about when hearing their name.
This might come off a bit sexist, but I see that mistake made most by women who view the workout as a social activity. They go to the gym, burn off about 50-100 calories, and then go have a big friendly post workout meal with the friends. Because, hey, they earned it! So they'll eat 700 calories of cheese cake.
The only way to even get a decent meal anymore is to buy everything Fresh
Or just eat less. I'm not fat. And a part of that is working out and walking whenever possible. But the biggest reason is just because I look at the caloric content of what I'm eating and measure that against how many calories I'm expending in an average day. And I eat shit. It's all from a box or canned. Hell, the freshest stuff I eat is the occasional piece of pizza from a local grease factory. But I'm still in good shape, unlike some of my foodie "we eat healthy!" friends. Because for whatever reason they think that if there's no HFCS in what they're eating, and they made most of it from scratch, that they can somehow eat as much of it as they want. Hell, look at your house pets. Cat or dog chow is loaded with preservatives and things they'd never find in nature. They still outlive their wild counterparts by a huge amount, and in better health for most of it.
It really is nuts. I've lived in two state capitals so far. And you'd think that of any place, the centers set to represent the entire state would be a showcase for how people should be living. But in both I was shocked to find that one really couldn't get around walking. In the dead center of commerce, sure. But that was only about 20% of the cities proper. Past that, sidewalks were intermittent and usually horribly maintained. Because nobody used them.
I have a fairly nomadic life, and I'm going to say that in most places in the US that in fact is not happening. A few years back my neighbors would literally drive one block to the store. Not to get a full load of things. But for something like a box of cereal. I see people walking in larger cities, but in suburbia the car is king.
It's really pretty annoying. It's another one of those things that would have been great if just a wee bit more time and money had been put into it for polish. I mean imagine how cool it would have been to just go over to the mario corssover game on the wii and play it on nintendo hardware.
Keep in mind where this is. A pretty huge amount of people actually do believe that they might need those lungs again. Personally, I think they're almost clinically insane. But that's people for you. So in denial about their own mortality that they'll look at a rotting corpse and think that he might take a turn for the better any day now.
You can only dumb shit down so far. I'm sorry, if the public doesn't have the equivalent of a high school level understanding of science than it IS their own fault. Not that of scientists. Assuming they live in a country with a public education system that supplies it. Here in the US, public education in science is shit. But it's still enough to get a basic understanding of scientific methodology and literacy. In the same way that it's someone's own damn fault if they can't do basic arithmetic after graduation.
Or change your user agent to show as firefox. 10.5. Given the understanding of technology they seem to have, they'll assume you're a time traveler and hire you on the spot to give advice.
Well said. It's just shit. I love computers, I love writing code, I love the hardware, the software, almost everything. Except the culture around it. It's so bad that it outweighs every one of those good points. I wouldn't go so far as to say the state of the industry destoryed my life up to about this point, but it's come close. Almost everything bad in it I can trace back to some aspect of it. Whether it's the expected forced overtime or the crappy to non-existent medical.
Seriously. The whole reason I bought an incredible was because I felt the default UI of android devices was so ugly. It's worth a big delay in updates just to move a bit beyond that.
On one hand, I agree. Though on the other I find it hard to not blame the neilson system a lot of the time. Having talked to people who were formally part of it, the amount of error that each person generates has to be off the charts. I've only talked to three, but every single one of them admitted that they'd stream stuff off the net instead of logging it fairly often. Which is automatically going to screw over any show whose target audience is nerdy people.
a Leela/Fry romance about as awkward as The Big Bang Theory
I'd say the exact opposite there. The big bang theory has romances that are awkward because they don't fit. There's no reason for the people dating in that show to be dating. There's no chemistry, and the writers just never seem to know what to do with them together. Fry/Leela are great because the characters are well written. Each has issues of abandonment and isolation within the greater society at large which act as a common bond.
Well, kinda. It is deserved at times. Like when anti-bush Americans started yelling about how they were going to move to Canada. On one hand, kinda good that they're taking an interest in the world. But on the other, just horribly insulting that they thought they could get Canadian citizenship by running to the border and screaming 'LET ME IN, I'M AN AMERICAN! YOU PEOPLE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE MY PRIVILEGED ASS ALLOW YOU TO HOST ME!'
My career hasn't been as long, but that's a pretty good summery of it. Except mine includes 'helped a lot of people, then found out how much that protects your ass when I wound up homeless.'
Well, yes. If by "working perfectly" you mean blaming any software that doesn't run well on it instead of placing that on an aging system. When apple isn't supporting it any more, I really don't think any other company should be expected to. Hell, did adobe even own flash yet when that version of it came out?
If you're not familiar with google's api it's a pretty large time investment. Partially because of the size, but also because they're often not the most up to date. A lot of the doc api for example doesn't work with docs created under the system that's been up for a few months now. But that fact isn't listed anywhere in their documentation, or even very easy to find by searching because the error message is so generic and uninformative.
Slashdot Mirror
One of the most accurate, and depressing, summaries of the reality behind science reporting that I've ever seen.
It still gives me a headache.

It's like open source developers either go for the most insane names possible, or go for something that ensures low page rank on searches.

Statistics are nice, but frankly, I'm going on my own experience here.
Science is nice. But I'm just going to go by my experience and side with the flat earth theory.

If it's just number crunching, import psyco psyco.full(). Might not be the best JIT compilation in the world, but it should close the gap enough.

Are aging geeks. Nobody hates new trends in technology, especially if it involves the average person sneaking into their playground, like aging geeks.
