Sure no problem - but do you really want to discard "news" backed by independently verifiable facts while you were at it?
Um, what?
That is all most of the "we" in the "you lot out there" you are referring to want - news along with the source material free of spin... pretty simple really, and nothing to do with ideology.
No, that's not at all what I was referring to. I'm no defender of Old Media. Far from it.
Wow. I don't think it's possible for you to have misread what I said any more than you have. This is some sort of record.
but this one happens to include more on your point of view that the internet is nothing more than a bunch of rabid ideology.
I didn't say it was "nothing more" than rabid ideology. You know, that's another problem with people these days- they any comment they see to an illogical extremist strawman POV.
feeling is that it makes up for shortening peoples lives because of living next to these things.
You know that was debunked years ago, right? The original studies had massive flaws, and one researcher even admitted years later that he fudged results. Large scale studies since then have been conclusively negative.
Right. I see *more* rabid ideology on the Internet than I ever saw in the Old Media. We seem more polarized than ever, and I blame the ability of people to go to various ideological sites and sit around in echo chambers while they fine tune their reality distortion fields. And by "we" I mean you lot out there. I discarded ideology decades ago when I realized what a mug's game it was.
Yes, any message stating "Slow down, cowboy! It has been X minutes since your last post! Derp!" where X is anything greater then 2 is teaching you to, um... think... good.
...the government announced IDIOT, the International Determination of Islamic Offense Team. The team will be charged with analyzing any and all public actions with awareness factors above 0.5 Lohans (note: the Lohan has now superseded the Hilton as a media awareness unit of measurement by NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology), and determine at what level the Religion of Peace will be moved to violence.
The rough first cut ratings are:
G = General discontent and hate speech directed at the West R = Rioting and demonstrations B = Burning of American flags, French cars and other related items M = Murder of Westerners and the members of other, less peaceful religions T = Planned acts of terrorism W = Planned acts of war X = Global thermonuclear devastation Z = Zombie hordes (The IDIOTs failed to fully explain this one. Inquiries are pending)
What torqued me out is all the beard scratchers sitting around and prattling about "the law is the law" while nodding sagely (or nodding off, more likely). Good lord, can really so few people get pissed anymore or even recognize when the legal system plops out a giant steaming turd like this?
Accommodative input is the future. Period. We will eventually have technology which allows us to adapt content to the human receiver. This is not in dispute. Presentation and interaction methods which use these techniques well will dominate over those that don't. [snipped the rest as a service to humanity]
One of the manufacturers- I can't recall who (gee, good ad)- dared to show the family sitting with their little goggles in front of the TV. That thing vanished from the airwaves faster than any ad I've ever seen. *Everyone* I know was making fun of it, young and old alike.
Maybe it was an error in judgment, but is it an $11 million error? That's sick.
What's even sicker is the legal wonks sitting around scratching their goatees and blathering "Well, teh laws am teh laws." This is a horrific result.
Then the lawyer could have done his diligence and filed against the proper party.
How about the lawyer do his due diligence BEFORE all this happens? You people... seriously... there needs to be more crotches punched in this world. You're all sleepwalking zombies.
Nope. I have the red/green issue, but I could see the red and green of the buttons fine. It's generally not a problem with very bright colors. *shrug* At this point the locations are second nature to me. Quickly from memory: Left X Blue, Right B Red, Down A Green and Up Y Yellow.

and don't know if they're going to have a reliable paycheck.
They've been fairly successful by this point. If they invested their money in even conservative things by now they shouldn't have to worry about that.
There is no such thing as a slow news day to a properly motivated, investigative news team.
The shenanigans of our state government here in California could fill a 24 hour news program on multiple channels.
Of course, the "properly motivated, investigative news team" is as mythical as the jabberwock and bandersnatch.
How do you pronounce "T.co"
Is the period silent? Do I say "dot"? Do I make a clicking sound like in those African languages?

Well if you'd read the article, it's from the Institute of Engineering Technology (what Aerospace company is that?)
Dunno. Who pays their bills?

If you think he is anything more, you're as duped as his minions.

If you don't want it, then DON'T BUY IT! Why is this so difficult for these anti-3D trolls to undertstand?
Yeah, dang that there pesky freedom to express oneself, and the existence of differing opinions.
If you don't want it, then DON'T READ IT! Why is this so difficult for these 3D-drones to undertstand (sic)?

They need to overcome the goofy factor.

No, seriously. They have a huge cooling issue with the Data Centers Of The Beast down there. Go ahead, Dell. Go on.
Pow! Right in the crotch!

You've never seen them together at a party. I think Neal "killed" his alter ego Jordan because it was getting too hard to maintain the two personas.
Stephenson's new novel, Mongoliad, about the Mongol invasion of Europe
Mongoliad
Book 1 - General Subutai Gets Dressed For Battle
Book 2 - General Subutai Has Breakfast
Book 3 is still being planned, but will probably involve Subutai mounting his horse and riding out of camp.
