I really hope that your post is meant to be satire. We have enough laws. Seriously, we do. In fact, I think we could stand to lose a number of them and then enforce the ones we have. Nobody, with any ability to influence, is suggesting that Google is obligated to display anything other than what they want to display. That is good. Let's keep it that way. You can, of course, have unweighted search results when you create your own search engine.
Anyone know what the resolution is, perhaps at different distances, for the human eye? Pictures displayed on my computer, taken with a 14 MB camera - not too complicated or too top end, are almost as crisp as those taken and viewed with traditional means. They also scale quite nice from the limited number (of both digital and traditional) of prints that I have had blown up into poster sizes.
Your TV may have nothing to do with this. FCC has prohibited volume changing commercials since 2011 or 2012. If you are still being bombarded with loud commercials then the FCC would like to know about it. Seriously - stop laughing. They would really - stop smirking - like to know about it. The fines for violating the loud ass commercials are pretty steep. Consult your favorite search engine for more details. Also, Billy Mays (spelling with his last name?) was an asshole. I used to sleep with the TV on. He'd wake my ass up long before the rooster crowed. I am not sad that he is dead.
OTA volume changes are illegal. Well, they can change them a tiny amount I think but not enough to be noticeable. If you are getting louder ads the FCC would like to know about it. This is NOT true on the internet. They can blast those things at top volume online. However, I was so happy when they stopped blasting ads at me - that day was truly noticeable when I saw it happen. I was so happy. I cut my cable not long after. I watched a half dozen channels, out of a hundred+, and it just did not make sense as I could just get the same stuff online for free and when I wanted to watch it. I do not watch much in the way of television or movies so to speak. I watch documentaries and educational programming almost exclusively.
Too true. Way too true. I am shocked by the ads on the internet if I use a computer without AdBlock. I grab Opera, install it, grab the extension, install it, and that is the very first thing I do on the internet. As I trust those downloads I do not even bother to get AV first. Then again, I often run Windows with no AV running at all. I simply avoid doing stupid shit and scan it once in a while with MBAM. It is amazing how effective not doing stupid shit is.
Paid is not worth it either - in my experience. Get all the studios together, come up with a plan. Give me access, in one spot, for unencumbered - DRM-free copies of everything that I can download or stream. Go ahead and attach a hidden serial in it to track who leaks it to torrent sites if you must. I will pay VERY good money for this. I will even stop stealing their content. Couple it with music and, again, I will pay - I will pay triple for the added convenience.
That is an odd assumption to make. I suspect that most have pirated it by now. The folks who would have subscribed, and it does have a lot of fans, would have done so if they had included it a long time ago. Now? Not so much, I suspect - a claim as valid as your own. Those folks have moved on, grown up, and discovered new things. They also have an external drive with that content saved, in its entirety, on it.
There are a number of films called Song of the South that you can check to see if they meet your expectation. You mean the one from the late 40s that was 'banned?' If so then there is a link to a.torrent or.magnet and there appear to be folks sharing it. I did not, obviously, download it and check. However, I suspect much of what you are missing is out there if you are willing to look hard enough. I have yet to find anything, with any age on it - often with none if I am willing to watch sketchy copies - not available for download.
I should not post this but, well, I must. I can take the karma hit.
I love you. No, I really do. Not in a drunk and sloppy way either - I do not drink. The other day I saw someone else got the first post and the said mean things about King Frosty. All I could picture was two angry nerds, at that point, who had vowed to rule the/. (perhaps from a moderately well appointed basement lair). I do not know how much time and effort you put into your posts but I do appreciate it. It can't realistically be scripted so that is even more amusing.
Then we have the apps guy who happily tries to make some sort of post about apps and Luddites in each thread. Then we sometimes get a variety of others - including a link to goatse but I think that one is scripted. All I can picture is a bunch of people who are like the Head Crushing Guy in Kids in the Hall. It will be ruin if ever you all should meet.
So, it takes all of you to make/. the place that it is. I, for one, am thinking it is better with the oddities and persistence. I'd buy you a beer in the real world. I would not drink it with you - even if I was drinking. But, I would buy you one. Shine on you crazy diamond, shine on.
Not much gets built as a proper taxi these days as I understand it. Yellow Cab, the makers of the vehicle itself, are out of business. There are no more bespoke cars of that nature - even cop cars are now modified outside of the factory by third parties. The UK is the only country I have been to where they have proper cabs being utilized. My solution? I do not travel for business any more so I just hire a driver or rent a car.
I'd have still gotten into the car. Chances are they were just driving to earn money. Also, well, I am not really scared of much along those lines. Additionally, it may have been interesting. Finally, I am stupid like that. I probably would not have even noticed.
You can, and will, justify breaking the rules. We are humans, it is what we do. Are the existing rules truly bad or are you just seeking to justify helping people break laws for your own benefit?
Ah! Neat. I had thought they arrived in about 2002 or so. We used to joke about not having to heat the office because we had a bunch of workstations with PIIIs in them. I suspect that my memory of 2002 being the year is because we probably migrated to a bunch in 2002 or something like that. I do not have access to the records to check but that seems likely. We were never brand loyal but all workstations had a two year life cycle so we would go with whatever was adequate and priced well. Employees got first dibs on the replaced hardware and the rest got donated or recycled.
I think they call it "a hobby" but it probably has a Latin name and I do not know it. I think it falls under the same psychosis as addiction. I went through a serious bout with this addiction and eBay. Like all addictions we will use self-talk and poor logic to justify our continued use of the stimuli. I, too, feel your pain. I have computer equipment that goes back to the 70s and, worse, it still works which means I can never free myself from this dungeon of pain. I have video games that go back to that same era and handheld games that came up through the ages. I have two stand-up video game consoles that I intend to turn into MIME machines - and my good intentions remain but they have not been touched in a few years so they sit idle, dark, like a homeless person's toothy grin. I have dozens of laptops, even more desktops, enough cell phones to start my own business selling them, tablets from the early Motion days on XP and tablets with Android, clothing enough to make the Salvation Army blush, a shop full of woodcraft tools, a shop full of automotive tools that let me weld and cut if I ever want to although I never do, a room dedicated entirely to electronics with more than one Fluke sitting idle in its original packaging, books on every subject, a shed full of lawn-care tools, and a variety of vehicles that span the ages but get brought out to a variety of shows and, still, do nothing most of the time.
I do not have a solution but I have a theory. I sold my business and retired. I had this property and it had a house already on it but I wanted one of my own design. So, I had that built. It is quite large and I have noticed that the larger the house the more stuff I will attempt to fit into it. Also, avoid letting it even start to clutter - that is a bad road to head down. Anyhow, it seems that there is a mathematical equation for this. I have not crunched the numbers but it appears to be an attempt to fit 1.5x the amount into the designed space. Nothing good can come of this - no matter what we think. Well, it is amusing and that is good - and our goal, right?
I know of no way to cure this addiction. If I did then my sick brain would tell me that it will not work. You can try throwing it all away (ha!) and moving to a single room efficiency apartment. You will only end up filling up that space in short order. You can try getting a storage unit (or ten) but that does not do anything except MAYBE hide some of it. A spouse does not help. So, you are stuck with it. All you can do is avoid becoming a real hoarder (and you, if you are like me, are a bit too close to that line) by ensuring it is neat, topical, and something you are genuinely interested in and not kept simply because of a need that may arise if you throw it away. You have to, absolutely must, be willing to throw stuff away AND act on that. You are not going to fix that old 5.25" floppy drive and there are no parts inside that are going to help you out. No, nobody else wants it either. Throw it away.
Thank you for the link. I am inclined to believe your link's information as I have not done any additional reading on the subject. Thank you for understanding that it was a legitimate question. We could question what is and what is not 'natural' with this. As humans are creatures created by nature and doing natural things, like eating and creating habitats, this extinction could be considered quite natural. However, that is not important really.
The person who made the claim was saying it with the connotations that it was a bad, pertinent, thing and I suppose it is something we could argue about but it has nothing to do with the actual topic, it is barely tangentially related. I was actually just curious about which species had gone extinct and how they drew the conclusions that humans were the cause. It seems there are some assumptions being made in the research and some extrapolation going on (favoring a larger result, no less) but, again, that is not relevant.
So thank you, again, for the link and it was an interesting read. I will probably look into it more later and see what else I can find.
It is a bit of a ritual with me. I do not get "towed out" under any circumstances. I get "extracted." There is a difference and it is huge. (There is a huge price difference too.) The worst one, or best - really - was during the spring. I had to get a special permit to bring heavy vehicles across the road, a "structural engineer" to determine the load capacity of a snowmobile bridge, and then have my vehicle plucked out with a woods vehicle known as a ''skidder." The skidder driver had to pull out two tow trucks along the way because we had tried to daisy chain them and then use their winches to pull the two tow trucks out.
It cost me more than it cost to buy the Jeep in the first place. Leaving it was not, however, an option. And no, I was not the driver at the time. I was letting a lady friend drive and was gleefully sitting in the passenger seat cheering her on while way too drunk to actually realize that the swamp was as far across as it was.
It is not the worst one. Not even close. A friend that I often go offroading with has been on the back side of a mountain down in Vienna, ME called, well, Vienna Mountain. He was so far out that he ended up calling in a cargo helicopter and a special team to hook up his vehicle to it. I was not there to witness it but I have seen the pictures and the newspaper clipping. He was also being fined $2500/day that the vehicle remained there.
It actually kind of pisses me off when I see vehicles designed for such that never actually see anything more challenging than a dirt road. What the hell did you buy a Hummer for if you are just going to keep it shiny and waxed? They do not even drive it in the snow! One of my great joys in life was a series called the Ford Explorer Sport which was a 2 door variant of the full sized explorer but also had underpinnings related to the Ranger. Anyhow, with a winch, various cosmetics, nice tires, and a small lift they made excellent vehicles. I got to pull a Hummer out of a field and through the ditch where they had ended up after not slowing down for a corner. 4WD does not make one a better driver and does nothing to help with corners. Good times.
If you get the chance to get into being... hmm... vehicularly daring then I recommend it as a good, mostly harmless, hobby. It is better if you are able to do repairs and builds yourself as it is much cheaper. I do not do any of that myself but I have the equipment and know-how, I just really hate getting my hands dirty with such things and I always end up splitting a knuckle open. If you know what you are doing (my MOS was 3505 - motor pool, driving is what I did) then you can go out by yourself and get a lot of places with just a winch, a block of tackle, and a variety of tow straps and chains. If you go out in pairs/groups then you can get even further and try things that are a bit mind-blowing. Somewhere I have a picture of one of the Explorer Sports hanging from a tree.
I have had one for about five years now. It gets used and has not broken or anything - that I have noticed at least. However, I have a lady that I pay to come make sure I am not dead, cook, clean, and generally make sure that I remember to take care of basic things. She still vacuums. She says the Roomba does a crappy job and she likes my Kirby. There is a total of one person living in my house, most of the time, so it does not get dirty and I have often wondered if she just likes the additional hours. I'd pay her even if she was too sick to come to "work." I know, I do. So I guess it is fine if she is just trying to keep things going.
I think I have been paying her the same amount for like five years anyhow. Maybe I should give her a raise. Thanks for making me think about that. At the same time, I think I am just going to skip the middle man and give her my Roomba. I still can not think of anything I would 3D print. I can think of lots of things I would say I would do. I'd do exactly none of them.
I just bought an F-350 to plow, tow, work around the house and what not. I really can not justify another pick up when I already have too many automobiles. Maybe if I can find one to part with... Either way, this looks like an interesting development and isn't something I would have expected to hear about - ever. So I will certainly keep an eye on this. Thanks.
I have now been to Google and, well, I do not want to see Weird Al or Jack Black doing any twerking. I now have a strange urge to see Martha Stewart twerking, however. Having learned what it is and having thought about it, I should not ask my daughter what twerking is. However, if enough of her friends are around it is a fair question.;)
Thank you. I have now gone to Google. It is nothing new it seems, we have been doing it for over 100 years. Then again, the vigor of youth has brought it to new levels.
I had thought it was still in development then. I do not recall seeing them for sale until 02 or so. The K6 II was a fun little chip for its day. It compared well enough with the PIIIs at 500 Mhz when OCed to there clock speed. I ran it OCed for a while actually. It eventually became an OpenNap hub and stayed that way for a a couple of years. Then I got a visit from some guys with bad fashion sense and ID badges that had important sounding letters on them so, for the sake of ease, I retired the box. There were people sharing naughty things on the networks but, alas, I was just a hub and did not share a damned thing and did not share anything criminal though I was certainly guilty of civil violations for copyright infringement. Nothing ever came of it. I was suggested to shut it down and I did. No warrant, no worries. I might choose to fight them for a little while now but I'd worry about what that would get me charged with considering the nature of what was being allegedly shared. I can not say as I ever noticed any illegal content but, then again, I was downloading music or nothing at all. So, long story but that was the life of my K6. He had an interesting life I suppose.

She seems to have eaten a comedian or two since she has gone off the air. Up! All night... *sighs* I am glad I do not watch TV any more.
I dunno. People, I use the term loosely, watch those shopping channels. Those are 100% commercials. They even pay to watch them.

I simply do not believe you. There is no way a human could do such a thing. Not now, not ever. Pics or it did not happen.

There were people sharing naughty things on the networks but, alas, I was just a hub and did not share a damned thing and did not share anything criminal though I was certainly guilty of civil violations for copyright infringement. Nothing ever came of it. I was suggested to shut it down and I did. No warrant, no worries. I might choose to fight them for a little while now but I'd worry about what that would get me charged with considering the nature of what was being allegedly shared. I can not say as I ever noticed any illegal content but, then again, I was downloading music or nothing at all. So, long story but that was the life of my K6. He had an interesting life I suppose.
