well i didn't say that you don't fall in love - you just don't need to fall in love with her mind.:) i agree, the sex isn't everything and as the years go by, it isn't anything.
while this seems true, it doesn't matter in the end. you want a gf that you're going to discuss particle physics with or have her bang the shit out of you daily? This is the point. you can easily sacrifice the intelligence criteria and win in the other four categories. in the end this turns out best for both of you. if you wanna talk nerdly, msn your buddy or something. you want a relationship with a hottie, ditch the nerd-speak.
Well we're running Checkpoint firewall here. I don't have admin on my network so I can't really snoop around without getting "spoken to" if you know what I mean. Other than port 80, most all other ports are closed tight.:(
but a terrible idea in itself as flash media has a much shorter lifespan than disk. While it would be neat and fast, over the lifetime of your console you probably wouldn't want flash media that you couldn't replace. at least if your HD stopped working you could by a new one if need be.
At my work I can send out traffic over 80 but my firewall blocks the incoming traffic. I tried this "solution" before and no go. It is a smart idea, just sucks that it doesn't work here...:(
The point is simply that the true artists will do the work without return. The fact that money is involved is an afterthought. If someone wants to purchase that person's "art" then they put in the capital and make it available for the general public.
Film-making, while not for massive blockbusters which come later in a film-maker's career, is often begun with simple equipment from friends, family, self-purchased consumer gear. A few thousand over a few years isn't much to throw into any hobby, it seems. This is why it's not a stretch to "know" that the artists will in fact invest into their artform.
Actually, if you (or anyone else) finds ANY footage from Cayuga on October 23, please post! I ran myself but my buddies were still figuring out how to work my digicam's video record function.:( Post 'em if ya got 'em!:D
While your point sounds good at first, you must take into consideration that musicians - professional ones at that, have their resources given to them by the companies that sign them. The artists often do not NEED such equipment as when their "art" is ready, the resources to publish are "given" to them (for the rights, of course.)
I would also beg to differ about the time and effort needed by poets, authors, and such to create a piece of work. Authors and poets toil for months, years to create something that they're willing to release - even on things that they will NEVER release. They don't measure how much they're putting into each item - they just perform the act out of their love for that act. I find it overly simplistic to say that all the work and effort that goes into each piece that is not sold to the masses is negligible.
How many musicians would make music if money wasn't involved? I'd think most of them would - but maybe in their spare time. It seems to me that artists create art for the sake of art itself, for expression of themselves for others to see and appreciate - not just for money. Maybe I'm being a little idealistic but take a look at small-time authors, poets, and musicians. They don't see major bucks rolling in and yet they still create/perform. Why would that be?... I'll leave that thought up to you.
Every fucking time somebody on/. mentions irony some other more "elite" person has to mention how it's not irony and how funny and ironic it is that the poster uses "ironic" in the wrong way.
be sure not to forget the reply that thereby defines the term irony.
Yes, I agree - if the kid picks up some tools and actually does something, that's to be applauded. Too many times tho the kid just picks up his keys and drives it down to the "tuning shop" and has them do it. I'm all for modifying your car - but the props only roll out for those that do it or at least help out.
Well maybe the/.'ers can find out who this guy is. there were people in the stands with video cameras so maybe a combined effort could get some info from one of the major car forums. The time this run went down was ~1pm on saturday Oct 23 at Cayuga raceway (Toronto International Speedway). let's get the machine rolling!:)
no man, seriously, i'm not telling bullshit. it was fucking unbelievable and a complete shock to everyone on the track. we see this guy warming up his front tires of his GTP and we kinda chuckle - hey, it looked totally stock! then he runs pretty quick and i ask my buddy "wtf did that guy just run?!!" "mid-10's!" *WTF?!!* i would NOT make something like this up!!:D i only saw him run that one time, tho. it was a champagne coloured one.
Slashdot Mirror
which is basically never going to happen.
It's a great video as well: Star Wars Gangsta Rap.
you sir, are seriously troubled.
thanks man, actually it was down when i first hit the site but later in the day it seemed fine. nice project, i'll be sure to check on it again. :)
Link busted, anyone have a mirror??

Last one I saw at CIBC was running NT4

There we go, now we can all get along again, your eliteness...
