It's just like having multiple wives. With a dual core, they just fight for supremacy. It's once you have the triple core, that they start to take sides.
No one dared to say that a bunch of urinals are not (good) art, for fear of appearing uncivilized.
Bullshit. Most of the people who walked by probably had something to say about it. I've been to countless shows and I've never seen everyone be silent as they walk by a piece.
Everything is art. It affects every person in a different way. Some things are considered great because they affect many people in a similar and powerul way (or at least the technique was very good). It doesn't matter what the tool is or what the medium is. If a creater calls it art. It is art. If an observer calls it art, then it is art. A pile of clothes on a bed will probably affect most people very weakly. I would call it mental masturbation. It's still art, though.
The "Is this art" question, is one of the dumbest I've ever heard. Art is about expression and observation. It is unclassifiable and elusive. So much of it is trite and forgettable, but it is still art.
Split mental attention? You mean you actually think when you drive? I don't know about you, but I burned my software to firmware about a decade ago. That leaves plenty of extra brain capacity for doing other tasks. Talking on the phone is probably going to make me a better driver, taking my mind off the road. It's the same with listening to music, news, or staring off into space.
It holds true for the football analogy as well. I've never written down yards lost or gained, nor the number of the jersey. My brain isn't good at it, because it's never done it before, so naturally when I'm talking on the phone I wouldn't be able to do it.
That being said, I am not everyone. I've seen first hand, phones reducing drivers to gibbering swerving idiots.
I'm fine with stupid reports being made as long as stupid laws don't get put in place. There's no reason I shouldn't be allowed to talk on my phone while I drive because someone else does it poorly when they talk.
Doesn't bother me. I've got repetetive stress syndrome, and can't even do one-handed shortcuts anymore. The blinding pain inflicted by "the claw" is a damn good deterrent. Control C? More like Control Oh my god my tendons/ligaments are on fire.
I would blow up the directors who decided on this, but the generic wick I bought is programmed to only work with bombs bought from Anarchy Corp. Don't even get me started on the dongle for my lighter.
I totally agree on being outraged that our government does things we don't want it to, and then keeps it a secret.
I think the key to the problem is in that we say things like "our government is set against telling its own people what it does"(Sic) instead of "our governement is set against telling the people it represents what it does". It is our government, we are not it's people. And no, we are not free. We are extremely well off, but are not capital "F" free.
That's just the 1/5th libertarian in me talking. The other 1/5th wants my government enforcers to protect the status quo and give tax breaks to those that are more successful, and the other 3/5ths wants the man to stop trying to bring me down and just past the douchie to the left hand side.
Because who the hell that has an mp3 player buys their music online? I though they were so everyone can play their stolen DRM free music? Isn't that why everyone in the iPod adds are in siilhouette, because they're criminals?
Oh right, trying to impose an overly technical solution to a simple problem is offtopic. It's one of the biggest problems nerds face. Sometimes there is just no need to jump through so many hoops.
Who cares if only a couple of thousand people are interested in it? It's a work of art, and if it survives despite dumptrucks full of money, it doesn't really matter.
It's better to have a small community with a richly defined experience than a new game aimed at people who already have a mass produced outlet they are content with.
How is a ten day week a shortcoming? 6 days on. 4 days off. Except for gas station attendants. All the gas stations would have been burned down by the hippies.
Is it really "packrat" behavior, when the object has very little physical dimensions? Why have an aversion towards retention. It's not like my USB stick is going to topple over and kill me, unlike a stack of newspapers from 1987.
I don't know what your problem is. I've met several very interesting and downright sexy women who absolutely adored the fact that I work with rocket science. Lots of very quality women find intelligent men to be attractive.
(what a coincidence, "Dya think I'm sexy" just came on the music machine.)
On the other hand, I've seen parents completely ignore the ratings and description of the games time and time again. Yes, I've seen parents at retail locations buying their kids copies of GTA and other "M" games.
That's because some 12 year olds can play GTA without any ill effects.
Hell, my parents dragged me to the Rocky Horror Picture Show every week for a long stretch when I was four (it was cheaper than a babysitter). It's not like I automatically became an alien transexual scientist who captured hapless preppies and forced them to give in to carnal pleasure, all the while breaking into song. I chose to do all of those things.
Of course sexual content causes deleterious behaviour. Playing the game causes erotoxins to form in your brain. Erotoxins that must be removed by being punished.
It's not that UC Berkely is Partisan, it's that the Left is firmly based upon science and learning and the Right is based upon...well self serving principles of circumlocution.
Oh, and before you rip on socialism, just remember all the aspects of life that the right wing wants to control.
In relation to your sig, whenever you hear Bush speak, replace "Freedom" with "American Imperialism" and it all makes sense.
Don't even bother replying or modding, I am well aware of my spelling and grammar errors, and how stupid I sound.

Eat dust, homo sapiens.
Yes, many aspects of open sourced computing are wasted on the world's needy.
There will be a time in the next half century, however, when open sourced education will take off, and a single computer will help educate a village.

So 18% of people who answered the phone and didn't hang up can't tell the difference. Go figure.

Being a nerd is fun and all, but the pub quiz game will be just as fun if you do it with cue cards and microphones.

Maybe they should try that in drug busts too. Is it even illegal for a cat to buy crack?
