I was just at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign and got to play with this unsealed tank of lN2 - you just tipped it (It was on this hinged mount) and liquid nitrogen poured out of it. Great fun.
I poured it all over my hand, and hit it with a banana - my hand shattered into several pieces. Just had to hold them in place until they thawed and everything was as good as new!
(I am so full of shit. You ever call anyone a 'this'? It means 'mixed up piece of shit' - same letters, just mixed up. *snork*)
So, uh, great exalted one, mr fusterlee - what exactly would you have us do with the 'useless refuse and human trash' people?
Shoot 'em in the head?
Put 'em on welfare, and raise taxes to pay for them?
Give 'em a job?
Paint them bright blue and beat the shit of of them with a dead puppy?
I'd hate to be someone working for you. Somebody track this guy down so I make no such ignorant mistake.
He is a person who thinks he is hot shit because he has figured out how to walk while looking only at his feet, while the rest of us run past him while looking ahead. Somebody throw this guy a hamburger...
Oh stick it up your ass you self-important fuckhead. You so called 'radio professionals' are so caught up in your industry's self-manufactured little world that you have totally lost contact with the real world.
Doesn't really matter where you live, radio sucks. The best is when a new station comes in, and plays a bunch of stuff you've never heard.
But then, after a couple months, you realize that it's the same-old-same-old - the same rotation of the same fucking 100 songs getting the shit played out of them until you puke in disgust.
If I hear "What if..." or that same damned song from Godsmack again I'm going to be sick. Great songs, the first 10 - 20 times you hear them, but give me a break.
Fucking play something new, play something unknown, play some other song off the same album as a chartbuster. Don't play that shitty song "Mother" from Danzig, play some of the scary shit off the same album.
Give us some depth of perception. Get out of your weenie world. Don't give me the pathetic excuse "We only play things that have been released as a single..." Bullshit, Stairway to Heaven was NEVER released as a single. With your bullshit clonish corporate attitude, that beautiful song would have never been heard by millions. Play the GOOD music, play the REAL music, not this pre-packaged pap that gets puked out by the music marketing companies.
Have some balls. Have some spirit. Give your radio station some style, rather than just another sad format station. Give your DJs autonomy -> "You have to play these 15 songs today, but there are 10 other slots that you get to pick". This depends on a bit of intelligence from the DJ, the DJ'd better not play some Brittney Felcher crap on a metal station, but what's wrong with the DJ saying "Hey, I heard this great song over at my friends and thought you people might like checking it out..."
Instead, you fuckers give us the sameold sameold sam eold sam eolds ameoldsa meolds ameoldsam eold sameolds ameo ldsameo ldsameol dsameol dsam eoldsameol dsame oldsa meoldsam eoldsa meoldsa meoldsame olds ameold - Ack! FuckingStopAlready!

"One might be tricked into believing a preliminary ruling limited the scope of Rambus patents, when in reality, it only means that a preliminary ruling limited the scope of Rambus patents."
You are saying the same thing twice and saying they are different. In the first part of that sentence, you say:
a preliminary ruling limited the scope of Rambus patents
And then you say, in the same sentence:
a preliminary ruling limited the scope of Rambus patents
So, if we make
X = "a preliminary ruling limited the scope of Rambus patents"
and
Y = "a preliminary ruling limited the scope of Rambus patents"
Then obviously X = Y, but you are saying X != Y ???
'Psuedo program to illustate my point
If (X == Y) {
C = X
}
So, we could say "One might be tricked into believing [%= C %], when in reality, it only means that [%= C %].
Whoa there boy - we're talking civil disobedience here. Protesting a law we do not agree with. Or more precisely, protesting a change to a law we originally agreed with.

(Although there's much fun to be had with what 'sales of singles' might mean, I'll leave that alone...)
Sales of singles is down???? I haven't seen anyplace to buy singles since they stopped selling 45 RPM vinyl records. Once in a while you'll see a 'CD Single' which is actually three songs on a mini-CD.
If the only place they can show a decrease in sales is on singles, then it sounds like all other sales are UP.
I have never, nor has anyone I know, bought a
'single' in the last 15 years. Before or after Napster. I think I got one out of a cereal box once...
What kind of argument is this supposed to be... I suppose sales of electric orange housepaint is down too??! (aka Nobody buys that either)
First time I ever say "Press CTRL-ALT-DEL" to login, I sat there laughing for a couple minutes while I tried figuring out what the actual way to login was, obviously this was an idiot-test that would reboot the machine. Then I realized they weren't kidding. Still not sure what I think of that...
I meant to have another example in my message: Right now, at the top of the Post Comment page, is the NewStuff@ThinkGeek banner ad. I like the "I Read Your Email" bumper sticker. However, I am posting a message, I don't want to stop what I am doing and I don't want to retype it. I also don't get paid until Thursday. I think I might buy it later this week. But, when I go there, I will go there directly instead of going back to slashdot, finding the correct banner, then going to ThinkGeek from there. Slashdot does not get a click, so basically does not get paid (maybe 0.00000003 cents for the impression), even though ThinkGeek got a sale based on that impression. Not fair at all.
How do they track how many people make a purchase out of how many banner impressions? I'd bet that MORE people make purchases from banner impressions than from banner clicks, but there's no direct way to track a relationship of Sales per banner display without seriously annoying the customer.
> While banners are now ubiquitous on the Web,

Why are they counting click rates as the only reference of effective web advertising? No wonder they think it is a failure... Where did these people come up with that? It's not like every time you see a TV ad you click on it, or send any response at at - at that time.
The way to do it is at least twofold: simply getting your brand out there (Like standard TV - "This program is brought to you by XYZ") - make sure people know you exist when they are ready to make a purchase. The second plan is to make you aware of a product and then you might think about that as you are laying in bed, and might make the decision to purchase it the next day, or next week, or next paycheck, etc.
Getting the eyeshare out there is the point of reference. Why they expect to pay the web site only if the user drops what they are doing and goes to their site immediately makes to sense to me.
I know that when I am out on the web, I am already doing something in particular, whether doing research for work, slashdotting, or whatever. No way am I going to drop what I am doing right then to go look at the site. Instead, if I see something interesting I will mentally note it, and I may later go check it out.
Case in point, about a month ago, I saw a banner ad for Outpost.com saying that they offer free overnight shipping for all orders over $100. I ad nothing right at that time I wanted to buy. Clicking the ad right then would be pointless, I was not ready to make a purchase. Last week, I needed to buy a router and a 100 MB switch. I went to buy.com on the recommendation of a friend, was almost ready to buy, then remembered I had seen the outpost banner ad. I went and checked out Outpost's prices on the same items, Outpost's BASE price was higher, but overnight shipping was free, while buy.com's was $16.95. So, I bought my products at outpost.com based on a banner ad that I DID NOT CLICK ON!
It's the band/product impression. What's made web ads seem a failure is bad expectations. A click on a banner ad means nothing. Instead, look at total online sales after a certain banner ad campaign.
Plus, the advertiser's have used this bullshit story about how ineffective web ads are to force down their cost per ad. They whine to the web content people, who then have stupidly folded and let themselves be paid only per click instead of per impression (display of the ad on their web page).
We can go full-on conspiracy mode and look at it this way: Most of the big advertising companies are owned/controlled by big old world publishing companies. The old companies are trying to move their publishing monopolies onto the web. So these big ad companies push this bullshit story on the web people, who cannot make ends meet off the paltry amount paid per click, go out of business, allowing the old companies to fill their niches, one by one, until they have the amount of saturation they are shooting for, once all the other web ad players are irrelevant, and then begin selling ads on these replacement sites, slowly raising the price they are charging for ads to where they begin to make a return on their investment again, after putting the rest out of business with their bullshit story. What they like out of this plan is that in the meantime, while they are moving to put the others out of business, they are pretty much getting free advertising via the per-impression advertising that they know is the real money maker from their decades of TV and magazine advertising. They are just playing a parasitic smoke and mirror game with the existing web, trying to steal it for their own.
