    Actually, you're under Canada. Head for the hills!

  4. Re:Manager called 911 on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: -1

    After a few 911 calls to 'just chit-chat' they'll threaten to come take you to the looney bin. I know from experience.

  5. Re:Well, when you think about it... on Livejournal Bans Ad-Blocking Software · · Score: -1

    fwiw livejournal can be entirely private and unindexed by search engines or available to certain people of your choosing. that's what the 'you know what to do' thing the teenage girls do is all about, friends only journals. i personally use it to store writing projects and have access wherever i happen to be.

    Facts don't exist. What is fact and what is fiction changes depending upon whom you are talking to. Thus, in a world where most human beings have IQs below 110


    Is that a fact?

    More than likely related to the size of the size of the spliff he was smoking. I do this this all the time myself without thinking. God god damnit damnit!

    Can I interest you in purchasing the plans to my time machine?

    C'mon now, go easy on Paul. He did sing 'Why Don't We Do It in the Road', one of the greatest vocal performances on any Beatles albums ever.

    Remember how cool those ghetto blasters with a tiny TV screen were in the 80s? I know I always wanted one!
     
    It's painfully obvious modern tech companies are working to make the tricorder a reality *nod*

    [blockquote]giant, clean pork factory that I eat[/blockquote] Now, I've been a hardcore carnivore since rebelling against my hippie parents at 17... But have you ever been to a pig farm? How 'bout a slaughterhouse? It's pretty fucked! This magical pork factory you speak of isn't very realistic, heh.

  13. Re:Trade-offs on Bring Home the Biotech Bacon · · Score: 0

    Probably because in the very distant past humans actually lived in our natural environment, and diets were optimized for us by that fact alone. Those millions of years of research went down the tubes with industrialization. I'd agree we're overcompensating though.

  14. CRIA...A? on Q & A With Canada's Michael Geist · · Score: 0
    Do you think Canada will ever be in the same situation as the US where even young children will become CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association of America) victims? - we asked him in the Q&A below. "I hope not," he says.
    Goddamn, I hope not too. With Stephen Harper in power though the 'Canadian Recording Industry of America' may not be far off. At any rate, we're back to paying flat tax on recordable media north of the border. Avast ye mateys!

  16. Re:Jon Kabat-Zinn and Midfulness on Continuous Partial Attention · · Score: 1

    Mindfulness as a buzzword has been cracking me up lately. I went to a group for social anxiety the other month and they were talking about 'bookmarking' as a mindfulness technique among other things.

    Here's a shocker, it's been around for thousands of years. It's called meditation, and you don't even need a Ph.D. to study!

  17. Re:Are you freakin' kidding me? on PayPal Goes Mobile · · Score: 1

    'Reasonable financial institution' aren't really words I would ever use to describe PayPal's services. I've of course read PayPalSucks.com, but I've also been charged three times for a single purchase among other ridiculous screw-ups. The last thing I'd want is another avenue for them to screw up my financial transactions.

    If you have a way of making payments that's currently working for you, my advice is to stick with it.

    I've got a handful of CDs from the late 80's that still play flawlessly as well.

  21. Re:The List on 1001 Islamic Inventions · · Score: 0

    The entire article is sensationalist flamebait, considering the general attitude towards Muslims and Arabs in the west.

    On that note it only took 5 minutes to find a handful of 'Muslim' scientists and inventors from their collection that were not Muslim at all, practicing Sufis (a mystical sect of Islam) or Agnostic/Atheists. Arabs yes, but there is a difference.

    Way to stir the pot with this non-news!

  23. Re:This is not news. Bach did it back in the day. on Music Based on Fibonacci Sequence and Stock Market · · Score: 0

    Bach's fugues were often based on the Fibonacci sequence. For an entertaining read on this and more check out the '79 bestseller 'Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid'.

    For a source of proof you need only google bach+fibonacci, it's been discussed at great length.

  24. Re:Damn it's tough being a pimp . . . on Movies Losing Popularity at Box Office · · Score: 0
    BBM may have had great writing, and even been a great movie (i don't know, haven't seen it) but very few people cared about the topic.
    $80M gross and still playing in theatres isn't exactly 'very few people'. Not a blockbuster, but still respectable numbers.

    I haven't seen it though, I swear.
