    This is not necessarily humiliating. It's a joke. Obviously some are sensitive, especially the target of said disparagement: dumb ladies:

    Mong said Monday that that she never realized she had been videotaped. She called the video's criticism of her hygiene "totally fictitious."

    Mong, now retired, said: "When I heard about this, it just made me sick because they don't represent the wonderful kids at the school."
    Kids have fun and make jokes. That is so sick.

    I believe it serves the greater good, of enlivening an otherwise fatally boring environment. Unless this disrupted the class for an extended period of time, I think it's not so bad.

    According to you, there is a problem with telling people the truth, and that is that everyone thinks in black and white, so we have to baby it down into some sort of John Stossel news report about how a shark is less likely to kill you than lightning or a car... fine, but we can still be cautious when flailing around in water, amiright.. but still, it doesn't get through to them, so because of that you think the black-and-white thinking people are going to rid the world of radiated transmissions.

    Um, if you can't prove that it's 100% safe, then why are you so upset like there IS no threat? You have to be honest with people. Some people will be crazy no matter what you do.

    And if over-reaction is such a bad thing, why don't you stop. Just like you, when I hear people over-reacting, I start to suspect they're crazy, especially when they start telling me about how safe cars and sharks and vaccines are, relatively, because it starts to sound like they're bullshitting me on their side, when all they have to do to win me, is be honest, and less dramatic.

    I have no idea if opera has back doors in it. I don't use the search bars and shortcuts. (I'm sure IE does.)

    Well, problem solved then. Let's just make the Internet all flash. No one could read or process it, but the net will run faster when everyone is converting their fonts into paragraphs and headings, then converting their paragraphs and headings into dancing paragraphs and headings, and then converting those into flash files for all the various parts of their web pages.

  17. Re:Couldn't they just... on Polish Fans Held By Police For Movie Translations · · Score: 1

    Here's the problem. You need the DVD to extract and translate the sub pictures. After that, you make and distribute a subtitle file. I've seen these on the web. They're both text and .sub .sup or something.

    The question is: did they have original DVDs, or copies. I'd guess copies, as that would speed things along being able to archive them on your computer during translation.

    Other problem: To translate the original subtitles, you need to decrypt the DVD. A crime in some places. To avoid decryption, maybe you could extract the Closed Captioning from the stream... any other way of doing this would be a headache.

    Let's just accept that argument at face value. Fine. Opera has shifted towards "Special" relationships with google and other advertisers to try and appease those reluctant to switch. They even changed all their shortcuts for mozilla users; A crowd that will never be pleased.

    But firefox sucks. It's too slow, without the features. Opera has a load of features and is way faster. I really can't survive on firefox alone. When firefox can perform as fast, and with instant back-and-forth, saving form data, and can enable/disable images/css rapidly, with quick buttons, and without having javascript enabled, I'd use it alone.

    When it comes to trusting closed-source software, Opera is probably the lesser of two evils.

    By the way, wasn't there some news about something being added to mozilla that would allow some kind of ad, or click tracking?
