  4. Re:The precise point in your joke where... on Do We Need Running Shoes To Run? · · Score: 1

    Have you used those shoes with separate toes? I don't remember what they are called.

    Look too stiff to give a barefoot feeling and I'm afraid they will fit bad / feel bad on so I haven't gotten any. I assume they still interfere a lot, may be more protective on harsh ground such as gravel though.

    I'm no crossfitter, he is, I'm just a member of the same forum and was a member of other forums where he has been a member to.

    I train and eat too little but when I do I rather lift heavy than focusing on general fitness. That or I'm lazy ;)

  6. Re:Will probably sell quite well on Windows 7 Starter Edition — 3 Apps Only · · Score: 1

    But what count as an application for Windows?

    * Additional drivers? (With systray configuration tools for instance.)
    * Antivirus, firewall and antispyware?
    * Browser with plugins such as flash or a media player?
    * IM-clients and such will sure do.
    * Does OS applications count? Or will additional apps? In that case will that give IE, MSN and WMP advantages?

    So what does it say? Photos? I know it may be off-topic but I'm actually interested, rather cool idea. Would be nicer on the neck though I guess, like some sort of meat bag suite label =P

    Wash warm, hand stroke? ;D

    Would be pretty sad if it read "God."

    As a Swedish pirate with a fast cheap Internet connection all I can say is:

    Maybe if we attached some kind of protective surface on the feets, and then strapped said surface around the foot to hold it in place, eventually with some stabilizing technology so it wouldn't wobble ...

    So run on grass, and when you get good enough start kicking the people throwing glass and metal objects around in the balls and run away from them.

    Try to build a new browser or new *nix kernel and see how many people you project gets. Try to compete with Apache. Try to build a new OpenOffice (though one that had a major corp backing). I expect these IDE's to converge in one way or other to a single winner, and some small hang-on-tight communities fervor's for their champ remaining intact.

    Yeah, try to install another distribution than Debian, try to install another BSD than FreeBSD, another window manager than fvwm, another music player than XMMS and so on... All the same I tell you!

    Musicians can't produce the quality of music

    Yeah? Because we all know music somehow magically get better if the artist got more money?

    and just record music for the fun of it on instruments they can afford out of their own budgets

    I listen to electronic music, I doubt it's what hard to afford some musical software and random midi keyboard.

    most of it will be from crappy garage bands.

    I doubt synth pop, ebm, trance and such sounds much worse than made by someone in his room rather than a professional artist.

    Professional musicians depend on income from record sales and concert attendance.

    But now I can't afford thousands of albums or going to concerts anyway so? And people copying music probably goes to just as many concerts as people who don't, likely more since they may enjoy music more.

    You want to know what big record companies contribute? Cash. They front artists money so they can pay their bills while producing albums. They provide good instruments and equipment to get the best sound. They need to get their heads out of their asses and figure out a new business model, but cutting them out of the picture isn't really an option if you want to keep hearing good music.

    At what efficiency?
