I love how people use a screenshot that not only looks fake, isn't hard to fake, but was admitted to as being fake as evidence! Wow, one screenshot of krohl blades... that's pretty substantial slashworthy evidence The screenshot is actually quite old, and was a satyr of the gold farmers that we all know and love. Oh well, I'm glad to see Slashdot is using the ol' tried and true formula of milking WoW references for popularity
or worse yet...
SPAM!!!
*camera cuts to nintendo's secret headquarters*
yes, now that we have painted ourselves in a positive light in the eyes of the slashdotters, we can proceed to punish these pedlers of smut in the worst way we know how: send mass quantities of flyers to their doors. BWAHAHA
In the states that's primarily what conservative means, but they do it for individual freedom (yeah... i'm confused). Canada it's even more out of wack. The Liberal party is conservative. But i guess when you're already left, staying there is somewhat liberal...
Look, all that banning abortions and gay marriges will do is force homosexuals to have children out of wedlock. Sound like republican family values to you? i didn't think so.
1/67 people develop skin cancer. Stil think the sun is so safe. And, i couldn't help but notice our friend 'the wind' taking otu a big chunk of florida the other day AND coming back for more. Geothermal? sure if you don't want your lava tv exploding! Hydro? do you know how many people a year drown?
don't worry, there is an answer. we can rocket all our water into the sun and, with a bit of luck, put that thing out (okay... we might need a bit more water... but it can't be that much more). no sun would mean a constant earth tempreature which would mean no wind. we could power everything with nuclear power and live happy knowing our children won't blow away.
yeah because 'hey yah' is really underground and counter culture. i mean, i do love outkast, and it was awesome that they had a super popular song (pitty it made it onto every genre radio station, every hour of every day). I thought it was cool that Muse was on there, personally.
1. of course is true
You're in an environment where many people are independent for the first time and want to give freedom a whirl. Youthful hijinx ensue. However, in between 1 and 2 should be 'Develop a love of good alcohol. Develop a love of bad alcohol.' College, of course, offers unparraleled drinking oppertunities and, thanks to budgetary constraints, beerbonging camping trips, beer gardens, or sunday mornings, you are going to discover the diffrence between the two.
Networking with people is, of course, imporant but, if you are living in res, you have unparraleled LAN oppertunities. If you where to whip out some of the 'ol Doom or UT2004, entertainment and, of course drinking, would follow shortly.
Don't get arrested. Come close though. Work out the diffrence between 'Police' and 'Campus Cowboys.' Campus Cowboys, of course, have no real power.
Credit Cards are not free money. The t-shirts credit companies give you are, however, free. If you keep signing up for teh same credit card you may never have to do laundry again (provided you also invest in some beer promotions). Don't settle for crappy radios or pocket organsiers, only the finest for you.
Warez and MP3s are pretty staple for universities. Everyone has computers, and internet HENCE competitions for who can get the most porn, most mp3s, most movies, most episodes of Adult swim cartoons, are all a nesseccary evil. Still purchase CDs of course (something trendy and indie, just to show you are hip and with it).
Try your hand at being a psuedo intellectual. It's fun. Sit arround sipping wine and eating cheese and discussing the political affairs of whereever and why you hate whoever and what kafka was really on about. The less informed you are the more pretentious and amusing this is. This is, afterall, why most people go to unviersity. Say something deep like 'why are we really here at all?' and don't answer with 'to obtain a frag count higher then God himself' and you might have a reasonable chance at goal #1.
Take classes for personal enrichment or just for fun. Chances are, at your university you have to have some breadth which allows you to justify taking 'Dinosaur Earth', 'Women of the Bronze Age' (misleading title if i ever heard one), and 'Wine Science' (300 level science credit at UBC, really tough though). They add to your degree and, as stated, will allow you an avenue to #1. Avoid ellectives that you don't find interesting or that will take time away from the courses that matter. Language courses are a good avenue to women. Women studies isn't. Everyone thinks that it's this great idea no one else has thought of. Don't do it!
Also, clubs are important and fun. Surf clubs or Skii/Board clubs (depending on location) are good for meeting people, getting some excercise, and generally are great avenues for drinking.
Also, despite what people say, always leave your door open. Sure, when you go out, you can close it, but other then that unwelcome visitors and random drop ins are what make the day interesting. Your in university anyway. You shouldn't have anything of value in there except for your computer and possibly stereo. Leavnig your door open will just make accomplishing any one of the points on the list easier (though, while achieving #1, closing the door is polite but not nesseccary)
App Rocket is an awesome file launcher. Does quick searches of your harddrive but also allows you to search google, wikipedia, etc. Even supports ID3 tags. Costs money though, but give the trial a swing.
Yes, there seems to be a fallacy that Science fiction is robots and space ships. It's not. Frankinstine's Monster was a science fiction book. It uses a hypothetical invention to argue a view point. Starwars is just really fun to watch.
13 ounces is 375ml, a.k.a. a mickey (not to be confused with mickeys from the states)
26 ounces is 750 ml, a.k.a. a 2-6.
40 ounces is just over a litre and called a 40 (pronounced fo'tie because you want to seem cool and gansta)
60 ounces are not too common and thus don't deserve a slang term.
120 ounces is a texas mickey because, afterall, everything is bigger in texas.
and, everyones favorite, a 2-4, is a case of 24 beers (a.k.a. a flat)
all this information becomes quite improtant if you ever plan on doing any camping on the west coast or just emulating the folks in the mocumentary fubar.
I find it interesting how certain matters of biblical principal are conveniently over looked by those who argue them so readily.
"And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you."
Of course that's just the tip of the iceburg. Simple acts like cutting, writing, or seperating things on teh sabbath also go against biblical principal. Not only that, many of these statutes are repeated multiple times in the old testemant which might imply that they are as, if not more important then biblical laws surrounding male/male relationships (also of note is the fact that lesbian relationships are never condoned).
The Bible is, primarily a book that is meant to teach compasion between man and man, man and animal, and, of course, advises people to have ltos of little jewish babies. The rules against homosexuality fall under the same page as rules against masterbation (they lessen the number of babies). As far as I know, the new testemant was an appendix, not an amendent of the old testemant.
Until someone likes you looks past all those damn trees, sees the forest, and actually starts following those Biblical principals you laud so highly (human compassion being far more important then laws concerned with seed spillage), kindly do everyone a favour and STFU n00b.
Okay, the medias hype of phelps was rediculous. But he never asked for it. Where's this 'bad attitude?' where's this 'big mouth.' but i guess because you don't have corporate sponsership, every smile is unjust and portrays someones underlieing greed. man this guy is so cocky i bet he'd get '5 insightful' for bashing athletes online. Face it. The guy is good. He's more ore less the best in the world at what he does and I'd be happy if i was in his postion. I actually know a number of olympic swimmers on the Canadian team (many of them attend the university of british columbia) and i have yet to hear anything bad said about Phelps attitude.
you're kidding right? LEOEG is by and large the second worst movie i have ever had the displeasure of seeing.
There are several award winning formulas for this. One, it fails to appeal to anyone who'd have actually heard of Quatermain, or Dorean Grey. It fails to appeal to people who want a mindless acion movie without 10 diffrent back stories. It throws Tom Sawyer in for no reason (i guess they wanted an American). Oh and it makes no sense. Some guy took a photo of the bridge of the nautalis and suddenly has stolen all of Nemo's science. Not to mention the laughable bit where the traitor shows off some of 'the invisible man's skin.' The only thing worth mentioning in that movie was Nemo's pimped out car and the fact that it wasn't the worst movie ever. This of course goes to Van Helsing which contained eveyr bad movie cliche imaginable. I am a worse person for being coerced into watching both.
All I can say is... why would Google do pop ups?
They know that the reason their text ads are so much more effective then reguler banner ads is because they are useful, low bandwith, and unobtrusive. Giving this up in favor of a more obnoxious, less effective, advertising scheme would be useless and would alienate all the customers they have garnished on good name alone. Constantly i hear "what if google turns around and becomse evil" with no reason why. "what if google suddenly realies that a gigabyte is too much", "what if google sells out to the man", "what if google steals my bicycle." Google is making a lot of money, right now, doing something well. As long as they continue to do well, you can trust them. And, as long as people trust them, they will continue to do well
Of course canada gets more then it's fair share of medals in the winter olympics. lets face it, Canada is one of the few places in the world where people jsut care more about the Winter games. Track and field, swimming, good stuff sure. But not the most entertaining to watch. Give me Snowboarding, Bob Sledding, or even (dare I say it) curling. I'm happy. Oh yeah, and Hockey. Olympic Hockey is amazing to watch. So diffrent to NHL.
Not to mention double the drinking. Double the random tomfoolery and shennanigans. Double the debt and double the substandard living and food. For me, all this things are as much, if not more so, a part of the University experience as any lecture or all-nighter. There's more to a proper education and university experience then simply aquiring the nesseccary skills to be an effective employee. Personal growth and a well rounded education, I'd like to believe, are why one shoudl go to university, not simply because you'd like to eb a more effective corporate cog.
