Oh, I'm not a strict nature or nurture type by any stretch, but I can't escape the sense that there is some inadequately defined factor involved. It could be one or the other or a function of both. People call it drive or ambition but what I'm trying to describe seems to be an unconscious source that leads to those other things.
All I really know is that I don't have it. My head is full of neat projects, but I no longer have the ability to see the point to doing any of them, and even when I did it seemed more like a chore than a fun hobby.
I used to read the alumni magazine USC sends me. About 10 years ago I started an article about some woman who was upholding USC standards yada yada, and she had three patents, fed starving children in Africa, brought ponies to the poor kids in Australia, helped fight an Ebola outbreak in, wherever, Canada or something, and was now starting a tech business, and on and on...
Turn the page to her photo and details. She's... 26 years old. That was the turning point for me. Well, one of them.I realized I was shit and started hating the world. Some people just have what I call the life force, and I know I don't have it, and no, it's not intended as a SW reference.
I built an awesome mountain temple this week in Minecraft, though... has an indoor forest... yeah, I suck.:(
Here in California they just floated $5 billion in bonds for that fuckhead Fossil Brown's full scale choo choo train set. The final bill could cover fifty Mars overs.
This is what you get, you republican and democrat party loyalists, when you put your particular breed of sociopath into office over and over.
Yeah, i know- its the OTHER side that's all stoooopid and evuuul and your team is all ponies and purity. Don't even start in with your red or blue shit. You're ALL guilty.
They all missed that scientists would build a worldwide, high speed network for the reliable transmission of pony video mashups to all corners of the planet, from Communist China, to the Soviet Union to the Arab world.
Kudos to Xbox live. They had a special event app to stream the event live. All the drama. Computer sims based on live telemetry. All in HD on the big screen. Pretty sweet.

Where are the error bars?

Vat grown bacon is just around the corner. Pigs are expendable.
All I figured out is that there is no figuring it out.
Cheer up. It's nearly... Um... Christmas!
Thanks, anonymous entity. :)
Well... I was thinking of building a suspension bridge from the temple to the neighboring mountain.
Maybe I should finally start a Facebook account. The XBox Minecraft can automatically post screenshots to your Facebook. I'd use it just for that.
I'll go the extra mile and make the bridge purple. Man, that's a lot of dye and a lot of sheep.

Or I'm just farting in the breeze. As ever.

Especially interesting is the special circuitry that eliminated the need to blow air into the cartridges that plagued the original NES.
No, I said don't bother with the red/blue shit. I get the same robotic script from the partisans every time. At some point one gives up and moves on.
So what you're saying is old stuff gets old.

Since when does a controversy and blithering hate fest need to be based on anything real?
Google is making the new app, and it will be in the store.
THAT FACT IS IN THE ***SUMMARY*** OF THE ARTICLE.
FFS, they say hate blinds people, but I never took that literally.
Where did you pull that number out from?
...no actual news occurred.
Damn. The fickleness of Slashdot. Derp! Hoagland! +5 Funny. Cute follow up with "alien" in image. -99 Kill It With Fire!
Actually, it was probably the same stream.
Yay! More geek angst. Who's awesome? You're awesome, emo kid!
Fixed for accuracy.
Fixed for current events.

Saw lots of Apple laptops there at JPL in the video. :-)
Everytime I watch one of these I can't help but think, dammit, someone invent the bloody ansible already!
