I look at them and get a boner.. see when I was about 10 my parents sent me to the school nurse because of compulsive masturbation (so they thought, anyway). Every time she flipped over a Card she asked, "now tell me what you see" and I would reply "Gee I don't know" but I would get a boner. So you see, those Roarshack Cards are utterly evil! My Ghod! I said "Roarshack" out loud and my arm, my hand --- arghhhh the Right Hand! has a Mind of Its Own! No! No No! Ooooooohhhh Ahhh, Oh Yeah....

Not a problem, we's call up Engineer Jorgasnovara at Technical Service Unit 25 on the Interocitor and have him do the same thing they did out there on Metaluna. Oh, crap, that didn't work and the Monster is now a talking head on Futurama. Oh well, maybe Doctor Morbius could help? Oh crap, that didn't work and the Monsters from the Id got him. But Anne Francis was hot and Leslie Nielson slammed her for sure.
I don't agree about the trollishness of the post. Asshat can refer to just about anyone who does something very stupid without thinking about the consequences. I know this for sure since I have been an Asshat here on./ a few times, making what I thought were pithy or irreverent comments and then saying "uh oh" after I posted (without previewing, of course, which is another type of asshat behavior) I suspect that the professor who posted the lightcurve data either didn't think through the consequences of disclosure of what could be considered sensitive data, or was motivated by some other reason. I've worked with a lot of scientific folks at the US Army's Night Vision Laboratories. Ft Belvoir, back in the day, and found most of them to be conscientious about reviewing what they wrote about in public. There were some, of course, whose minds were in the clouds or they were thinking of pussy and made security violations. Those were the Asshats of that day and age.
With respect, it is irrelevant who kills or hates whom in this case. The statues clearly state that interception of communications within the boundaries of the USA and/or it's possessions and territories shall require FISA Court approval with appropriate warrants. If the NSA either figured out a way to circumvent the law or simply disregarded the law, then the issue, ipso facto, is: "did they violate the law?" My opinion is that we can detest which ever group we wish to detest, but the Constitution and Body of Laws which provide the social framework of our country absolutely must be obeyed. Therefore, I believe that the NSA and any other entity which violates USA law should be examined in court. Should it be an open court or one which is sequestered (like the YELLOW FRUIT(U) Courts Martials)? That status would depend upon the prosecution and defense hashing out revelation of Sensitive Sources and Methods (which I believe must be protected).
I started working with one of the "Projects Going Nowhere" (tm) about 3 months ago. It is Ham Radio related. The original author wrote such a kluge that the project was "Hopelessly Hosed" (tm) and of course, not seeing it Work the First Time (tm) he lost interest and went back to Morse Code or something. I've been unraveling the fur-ball ever since. However, it has been one of the greatest learning experiences for me ever - and that includes having Professor Universe personally show me how to whistle DTMF tones when I didn't have my trusty BlueBox -- back in the 70's, BTW. My Advice, find a project on Sourceforge, d/l the source and try to get it to work, one small Piece o'Crap (tm) at a time. Good Hunting.
I am an Observer of Santeria and VuDu and will make certain your effigy is one over which we pray. You, in your ignorance, will receive the First Prayer to Guul, The Great Urinary One whereupon your Effigy shall be drenched in the copious streams of Golden Showers; you shall then receive the Second Prayer to !Ohyeah! - The Great Orgasmatator - where your Effigy shall receive the Blessings of Numerous Money Shots from the Assemblem; finally, as your Effigy Animates and receives the sudo rsync of your Total Life Essence, Our Master, The Hideous One, Odious Pinch-a-Loaf, shall descend, become seated and Void His Holy Bowels upon your now cringing and repetitiously mewling Life Source Imprisoned Within the Clever Effigy. When the Great Last Voiding has taken place, when the Last Peanut, the Finally Undigested Sunflower Seed Husk, and the Noisome Fluidic driblets have all mingled with mini-You, sprawled akimbo as if likened to some disgusting, tiny, rag doll crushed under tonnes of steaming defecation, your Xoul Shall Be OURS FOREVER!
This kid is history.. remember the water carburetor, the automotive steam engine, the 100 mpg fuel injector modifications. All the now secret patents - erased from our consciousness too. I'll bet the Food Giants, the Energy Giants and the Haliburton-Cheney Giants are all arguing right now -- meeting in their svelte secure conference rooms bought and paid for by the Bilderbergs, and other International Jewry... oh yes.. the Kid Is Toast. The operatives of the Giant Agribusiness Combine are already planning to grab this guy and implant him. Next stop kiddo? Migrant Worker Farm Numero Cinco in the Cochella Valley.
Regardless of Home Schooling detractors or boosters, it all comes down to how involved are the parents. We home schooled all 4 of our children; they are, in order of birth: an Army Officer graduated from the US Military Academy; an MBA (Vanderbilt) now a Ski Resort CFO in Nevada; a Plastic Surgeon, mother and wife; a Lesbian-Rights activist Leader and PhD Candidate at Stanford. The "kids need to be socialized" is a strawman. Our kids were uber-social and our home was always filled with kids from various home schooling, local public schools and a couple of Catholic Institutions. Want a comparison? Just take a true statistical look at African-Americans in the USA and how their family life turns out, if you dare to be non-PC. You immediately see the effect of failed families (thanks to LBJ's "Great Society Program"). The comparison of Home Schooled versus Public School? Q.E.D. And as far as the Mud Races in the USA are concerned, they are lost forever thanks to their Amos n' Andy culture, the interference of white apologist liberal lick-spittles, our ancestors who bought them, and their own ancestors who sold them.
And along with the EL34's, the 813's inside your AN/GLC-3 Transmitter, so as to take out any and all signals from Channel 1 through Channel 900. Best part is pushing the Big Button during German Football playoffs while in the field at Bamberg or Graf. Ah, the howls of the Jammed. Hoo-Hah!
I worry about distractions to driving at any age. Now that I am a retired multi-millionaire (thank you dot-coms!). I took a part time job driving a delivery service for home-bound senior citizens. I put about 300 miles per day on the van, which is brand new and equipped with all the latest stuff including a laptop which calculates and announces (in a proper British English accent, the route. {N.B., I wanted a Ghetto "English" voice which would tell me to move my funky white-boy Bee-hind, and run dat fat white trash woman down.. but the church demurred}...) The issues I have are several-fold. One, there are a lot of really bad drivers out there; I have driven since I was 14 years old and am now 65. I have learned a lot through the school of several accidents including two almost fatal ones (none my fault, either), a number of speeding tickets garnered with my now defunct Porsche 928 Euro import, and the recognition that I no longer have the reflexes or stamina of a 30-year old. If only there were Cialis for the brain.. never mind the 4-hour erections. Two, there are some places where I can easily see the ill-design of a highway, since I drive through the same merge or intersection every day for weeks on end -- and usually cheat the Grim Reaper each time. Bummer. Third, while the GPS and Laptop is great, it is ALWAYS a mite bit too late. For example it will tell me "In 500 feet turn left" -- and I am usually telling it back "hey ya retard! I already passed that turn, suuuurrreee and now ya female-dog-in-heat (can't say "bitch" on the forum) you're gonna tell me to make a U-Turn!!!". GPS navigation for civilians doesn't seem to be as fine-grained as when we drop bombs on people. Fourth, and maybe the most important, once you get to my age, even with all the vitamins and other stuff in the world such as quitting smoking, no ganja, no chewing gum, no itchy anus due to improper clensing, no radio playing White Stripes, and no looking at hotties walking along the street at the local high school, my old body and mind is just not up to the need for speed. Bottom line: I drive slower and look ahead farther; plan an escape route and "cover" the brake pedal so as to reduce braking reaction time. I sure don't need Yet Another Distraction (YAD) in the vehicle.
Bureaucratic inertia, as usual. I was hired as a consultant last year. I had a TS/SCI with Single Scope BI, but it lapsed while I was in prison. Anyway, it took over 9 months just to update the clearances and to get me re-indoctrinated for access to compartmented programs. The folks at the corporate security office said that nothing in my background was a "show-stopper" because I was completely truthful to the investigators. However, the fact that the BI process for DoD is now done by contractors and managed by the Office of Management and Budget means adding at least 100% to any investigation.
Did you know that less than ten percent of random homicides are solved? Best way to solve the problem is to wait until he is doddering out onto his lawn and then shoot him dead with a crossbow -- using one of those deer points for maximum damage. Coat the point with fecal material (not your own ((think DNA)) but one from a portable construction site). The cross bow is silent, had great accuracy and unless you are a total retard would have been obtained without you attached to it... Go ahead, the old fuck pisses you off? Kill him! I mean, he's old and got one foot inthe grave anyway... Jeeze, how hard is that to figure out?
Did he get his moneyshot on the keyboard? Now that would be A Bad Thing. I am looking for keyboard manufactureres who have a built in cloth cum-rag roller at the top of the keyboard. Sort of like those roller things in public restrooms, where you pull the roller and the cloth comes down clean and pressed -- ever so pristine. Oh, on a wiper arm thing for the screen. All automatic, of course and powered by a firmware Linux distro.
Yep, works great at CompUSA. I have two T-Shirts, one which says "You Say Psycho like it's a BAD thing!" And an "Evil Monkey" from Hot Topic. My students gave me both for end-of-year presents.
Anyway, I'm kind of freaky looking guy, ex military, skin-head hair do, wiry and creepy with a biiiiiigggg scar that runs from one side of my throat around my neck and over the other side (thank you mister Viet Cong (Hill 327, I Corps, 1968).
When asked about stuff like that, I will usually just look at the poor guy and say something like "Dude! Oh Man, Dude! Do I gotta decide NOW? Oh Dude, I goota do some meds now so just let me go, OK??"
Other times, I'll say "well thanks for offereing, but I am planning to add this chip (item or what ever) to a little fun gadget I'm working on and it ain't gonna be around long enuff for a warranty!"
Then giggle like Charles Manson.
'course now that Homeland Security is checking all purchases from CompUSA, I guess I'll stop that.
Finally, when cruising the shelves looking for bargains, the guy wants to show me the latest stuff, I'll engage in a conversation about how I build my own PC in 1977 from the Popular Electronics Magazine schematics and then talk to him orher about Heathkits and the old H-89 with a 1 Mhz clock speed and 64K (yes, 64K) of RAM and it was like so totally cool and everything since then be tools of the devil and you know if you cut open an Athlon processor that "666" is written on the chip with a micro-laser... and, and, and..."
That usually does it... except the time when one of my former students was working and we rocked for almost an hour, in the new Mac area (where there was a keyboard) BS'ing... finally singing a few bars from "Earth Girls are Easy".
She got fired shortly thereafter and I'm pretty sure is now in Rehab anyway, so it all works out, Dude.
Word Up!
Cheers,
Dave
PS: You don't have to be crazy to teach inner city high school but it sure helps. The kids are great, the "administrators" are the pits.
FF under Linux is still not able to do my on-line banking. The same problem with Opera and Mozilla. I've talked to the SunTrust Bank people and their reply was (officially, I presume) "We do not support nor do we plan to support non Microsoft compliant internet browsers due to security issues."
Of course, they are full of crap, and simply taking the path of least resistence by "assuming" that customers are either using MS or Apple's Safari.
Moving to another bank is not an option. I have accounts for my business with five different banks (Bank of America, SunTrust, Citizen's Bank and Trust, AmSouth, and a local credit union). NONE of them support non-MS browers; NONE of them will allow Firefox, Opera or Mozilla to carry out all functions. Interestingly, I tried Nutscrape on an old Powermac that I've had in storage since 1999 and everything worked perfectly.
Anyone have any clever comments about how wrong I am? I detest Microsoft and everything the company stands for, but I don't let my personal feelings get in the way of running my business.
