I can tell from the canned graphics they edited the video using Pinnacle Studio. Since I also use that for home movies, I am giving myself 5 Insta-cred points (tm). Who ever said a $99 application has no place in space (well space-flavored sky anyway)? Suck it Adobe Premier Pro!
I hope this one day scales up to car size. The cops would be able to tell I was speeding on the freeway, but have no idea where I was. Or they would know exactly where I was, but have no idea if I was speeding. HUP FTW!
The Washington School Information Processing Cooperative (WSIPC) still serves numerous ESD's and districts that use VMS. Of course, since the (painfully slow) conversions to AIX started 7 years ago, it's now called the 'legacy system'. But that does not mean there are not 100's of users on these systems.
I agree it sounds awesome. But you realized that had you had this education in your youth, your above post would have probably been more like: "W00T! This is teh awesome! All those n00bs who talk smack about it are totally FAGS!!!!"
I kid of course, but your concise use of grammar, punctuation, etc indicates that your traditional education was not a total waste as you seem to paint it.
Maybe the justice system is even more like NYC and things can get fast-tracked if the offenders are inarticulate and members of one of the 'uncool' races....you know, like Arabs. That's usually a real time saver.
"I had wrong assumptions I didn't know about... I returned home to Washington DC to find that, far worse than my old haunt San Francisco, my mental map of DC swapped north for west."
That's why I said: "Can you provide a link to a post you have made proving me wrong here?". Of you course you did not. Because you could not. Because there are none.
I have had a spiral CFL as a porch light for fours years running. It's on 24/7. Since TFA is defining a 'day' as only 5.5 hours, then my CFL's can also (apparently) last for nearly 19 years. Call me when an LED can last for 19 actual years.
You know that female mammals only get one supply of eggs? Once their gone, their gone. Not really sure why the evolution god would give a women two million eggs....maybe they originally evolved to live for thousands of years. Or maybe we were only supposed to live 80 years, but have like 1.99 million kids. Or maybe early humans were like salmon with a 90+% infant mortality.
If 'rarely' is defined by you as nearly daily and often several times a day, then I guess I agree.
When I do it's most often in articles where I share anecdotes as opposed to jokes.
Again, I do not know what you are calling an 'anecdote', but I have read through all your posts and cannot find a single one. Mostly just you saying something like 'HAHAHA You are teh moron and I love Sony and you are such a loser!!!!'. Can you provide a link to a post you have made proving me wrong here?
I've been modded down for...
There is no grand conspiracy here. You are not being modded down for speaking out against the consensus. I lot of other people do that are not modded down. It's is only your apparent inability to disagree without being a total jerk that gets you modded down.
Noone wants to have the boat rocked so to speak so the easiest way to deal with that is to silence people like myself
Buddy, you are not being silenced. You are not being oppressed. You are just being a dick.
Do you know why you consistently get modded down? It's not for the content of your posts; as there are other people who pose the same or similar opinions who regularly get modded +1. It's because of the combative, insulting, and generally petulant nature of your posts.
There are those who read all of your posts and start down-modding them just because they get tired of reading your misdirected rage. I would recommend that you stop posting on/. (since, as you have so often mentioned, we are all morons anyway), or start articulating your opinions without attacking those that disagree.
No Schnoogs. You're just a jackass. I wonder if you are same 'Schnoogs' who has been banned from gaming forums (like this one) for similar asinine behavior?
What they don't tell you is "the Poster" is a code name of a multinational terrorist organization called "Sphere Tot". And said organization is stockpiling all your posts to be used in the inevitable Irony War of 2012.
I believe the 'official' term (heard this from a few cops that I know) is "failing the attitude test". If someone doesn't show them the proper submission, then they have fail said test and will be treated accordingly.
That's a completely valid point. Anecdotal evidence is pretty weak for most things. But I think the point I was trying to make (albeit poorly) is that one who is never forced to face very unpleasant consequences for failure, who is never bullied, or is never taught without thought given to how entertained the student is, is one who is only nominally prepared for the harsh realities of adult life.
If a homeschool student stops trying and simply stops doing their assignments, what happens? Are they held back a grade? And if that lack of effort continues are they prevented from 'graduating'? As an adult I do not work for my loving parents and if I fail at my job there are serious consequences. I just don't see any parent really dropping the hammer on a teenage homeschooled student.
I think those 6 hours, even if the hard academia is lacking at times, are not wasted. At the very least children learn how to keep a schedule, deal with people outside their familiarity zone, and process mundane tasks. It's not very sexy, but these skills are are very large part of even the egalitarian among us. I have personally known homeschooled adults that were completely unprepared to do things like deal with workplace bullies, keeping track of their time for work, or see the value in something that wasn't 'fun' for them.
You really need to get out more. At least get away from the strip malls for an afternoon. We have sewers. Are you even aware of what a septic system is?: "A septic tank is a small scale sewage treatment system common in areas with no connection to main sewage pipes provided by private corporations or local governments." I can't even imagine what you think of people with wells or, gasp, no Burger King nearby....the horrors!
Only a Canadian would call something that only a tiny percentage of the developed world has "basic infrastructure". I imagine you think of the SkyTrain as "basic infrastructure" as well.

Is that not the entire purpose of the Judicial branch of US Government(tm)?

I'll show myself out....

Yeah kind of like playing a trumpet, saxophone, etc...or simply playing a 'horn'. The horn players produce a completely different style of music.

When the President does it, it's not illegal.
That much is obvious.

So the Signal2Noise article seemed pretty concise and accurate. They I see this had this stuffed into the midst of the text:
Editor's note: We'll be celebrating next week with another Tweepstakes giving away a laptop of the FUTURE! Stay tuned!
So they score a double-hit combo of shallowness by simultaneously promoting a laptop giveaway contest AND making a Twitter reference.
I think once Microsoft co-opted the MCP acronym for their own corporate needs, Tron references became somewhat less than common. End of line.
I believe the 'official' term (heard this from a few cops that I know) is "failing the attitude test". If someone doesn't show them the proper submission, then they have fail said test and will be treated accordingly.
The Reavers. They made them.
Dude! Keep that stuff to yourself! I am poised to get at least an extra week of paid 'flu leave' this year. Bring on the FUD!
