I haven't seen Titanic either. I've watched parts of it, but it really didn't grab my interest at all.
$300 Million is an MFT of dough, I'm impressed.
Ok, This is Week 4.5 Day 1 for me.
30,20,20,17,27 I messed up and did 30 instead of 27 to start with. But, hey, that can't hurt.
I'm fighting off an illness at the moment. I started my week 4 day 3 but failed miserably. Will retry maybe tomorrow, but I think I'll end up doing week 4 again.
As horrible as it is, given what this guy did for a living it does not surprise me at all
There have been a lot of studies on this that have come up negative. What is it about this one that invalidates them?
Also... I really have to question these people. They suggest using a wireless headset. That still gives you a big dose of EM in your head. It's not the same, it could be more, it could be less, depends on the brand and design.
A wired headset would reduce the affect quite a lot.
No sarcasm intended. Clearly I'm confused.
Cooper, please forgive me for being dense. All this time I thought you were caucasian for some reason.
Affirmative action is by definition racist. It propagates racism rather than works to solve it. We've had this discussion on here at least once before. It's a well intended, but very very stupid system. If we're truly to make progress in such matters, any program or legislation has to be based on solid morality and equality. A program that elevates one's chances based on race is not equal or moral. It's knee jerk, and it's ineffective. If you're one to believe in sins of the father are sins of the son, then I can see how it can work for you, but I personally find the morally abhorrent.
What does it do? Ideally it forces a racist employer to hire someone against his will. Yes that sounds less than ideal right? On the plus side that means the object of the racism has a chance that he might not have before. This also means that he's now working for a racist that has even further resentment due to being required to hire him against his own judgement. This is the ideal case! I call this the ideal case because if the employer is not a racist then there would never be an issue in the first place.
In a case where you don't have a racist at the helm of your organization (be it educational, commercial, whatever), the concept is irrelevant at best.
I have to say. I don't actually understand racism. I get stereotypes, and I use them as a baseline for what I might expect out of a group of people. They're my own stereotypes based on my own experiences, and I realize there are always exceptions. I don't think racism will ever be entirely wiped out, unless race itself is wiped out. With the ease of communication worldwide today I think we're quickly moving to a place of less ignorance.
"Institutional Authority," has nothing to do with racism. A single person is racist or not.
Now if you want to oppress a group of people, yeah you need some sort of institution or another larger or more powerful group to do it.
Really just depends on the people you're around. I don't really think about race in most cases. I'm sure I've said plenty of things that the right people would find very offensive.
A friend just told me a relevant story though. She's in a water aerobics class, and was chatting with someone near her.
The lady asked my friend "why don't you ever bring your husband along?"
Her response was "Oh, he doesn't need any more sun. He's already very tan, and if he gets any darker he will start to look really bad."
There was an immediate kind of strangled throat clearing which made her look around. There was a black lady behind her, giving a very evil eye.
Of course she didn't intend it as an offensive remark. She's right, her husband would look terrible if he got more tan, but it's not because dark skin looks bad, just his specific colouring. But instead of taking an innocent remark like that at face value, it became racially offensive. I assume the lady that took offense had lots of experience with racist remarks for her to be so sensitive.
He's a great businessman, and there's no doubt he saved apple and a lot of their success is due to his leadership. However I find this pretty ridiculous. News outlets pander to FUD. I saw one report that made a big deal about him not being on the earnings call the other day. A call he's only been in on 3 times in the last 11 years.
Apple does have the cult of personality factor going on, but I don't think it's necessary. They have a ton of really bright people at work on products. They just need someone who understands their strengths, goals, and the business world in general at the helm. A strong leader is required to continue to grow at the rate they have been, but is not required for success.
Week 4 Day 2: 27, 21, 21, 18, 25.
Feeling the burn. Out of breath. Woo.
As long as whatever comes out can play spore, SCII, and Diablo III at a good res and frame rate, that's all I'll ever need ;-)
Charisma always trumps policy. Always.
That is a rather odd request. That really only applies to gamers, I'd wager.
There's a handful of programs that really take advantage of gpu's outside of gaming, and the number is growing. The apple platform is the only place you get that now, but I know there are linux libraries and drivers in the works, and surely by now there's something on vista that will.
While your graphics card does control the rendering of what's on your screen, even the most basic crap from 4 years ago can quickly render high resolution desktops and apps. Graphics chipsets matter when you're watching highly compressed video for which the driver allows the use of hardware encoding/de-encoding, games, and less than a dozen apps that actually tap into the GPU for image processing.
Also worth mentioning that you can't upgrade your graphics chipset on any laptop or notebook, period.
My left shoulder blade is not well after today's sets. It's not outright bothering me, but I really know it's there.
If you get too much, you get some retina burn in. You've all probably experienced it. Reading bright white text on a solid black background, or bright green text on the same. If you read long enough and look away, you still see lines. That is ghastly.
I took a dark grey and put gold-ish text on it, and I like it pretty well. I read somewhere that some combination like that was optimal for high contrast without afterimages. I wish I remembered where that was so I could point there.
Week 4 Day 1: 27, 20, 20, 17, 27.
Towards the end when I can't do any more it doesn't feel like it's my arms that are giving out, but more like the rest of me is fighting the muscles in the arms. Definitely felt it today.
Bought it off iTunes season pass, watched the final one this morning. Loved it. I haven't been so entertained by "tv" since firefly... err... hmm...
Week 3.5, Day 3: 30, 22, 22, 20, 27.
Hard, but solid. On to week 4!
Careful. Don't plow so much that you do serious damage.
Sure. But the mainstream is not buying ps3s.
That's the thing. Not that many people care about a high res disk format. A lot of people don't even realize what it is.
You've gotta realize talking here that we're a very different market from the mainstream.
If I was MS, I wouldn't put a blu-ray in it. I think the format is a failure. It may have caught on if it had not been for the format war, but I'm not certain. Most of the techies I know that are the people who appreciate and notice the higher resolution are much more likely to be watching things on their computer, on their DVR, or streaming via Apple TV, Netflix, etc.
480p is really a lot more resolution than your average american viewer is accustomed to. Unless I've personally set up their system, I don't really know any non-techie who is running component or hdmi output into their televisions.
Sure there's sales, there's hardcore AV enthusiasts, and there always will be. The need and desire to upgrade really isn't there for most people, and I don't see anything they can do to change that short of getting everyone to stop producing dvds.
or that I'd just missed some strange language migration thing.
Well...
That may be the case, really. It's a certainty that our use of technology causes us to not only create new words, but change the meaning of current words as well. It would not be a stretch at all if that trend creeps into our spelling and grammar.
Sadly, I know that my grammar and punctuation have suffered due to all my internet use.
Week 3.5, Day 2: 27, 19, 19, 15, 26... uh oh!
I'll probably keep going on to week 4. I think my slip there is due to stresses of the past few weeks which should hopefully lessen soon.
Nail in coffin for PS3. Q.E.D.
Whoa. Thanks for the tip, I still haven't upgraded to 2.5 on mine... need to stop neglecting that.
I'm anxious for twinkle to get into the store. Twinkle is a location-aware twitter. You click the "near me" and set a radius, and you see other people twittering in your town. Some people use it for "tweet-ups." But it's pretty cool. I see people talking about local news, sports, weather, etc. Got a few followers/followees from it.
There's a lot of crap, I agree. There's a lot of good stuff too. I'd wager a better browsing/rating system is not long off.
First rerun day Week 3.5, Day 1: 25, 17, 17, 15, 27
It must suck to run iTunes on windows.
Your argument might be valid if alcohol was not legal and freely available just about everywhere.
The touching the ground isn't the hardest part, it's the slowness/precision required to do it without busting your nose or chin.
I had a scare this morning as I tried to upgrade to the 2.0 firmware. It loaded on, and then went to activate RIGHT WHEN the activation servers started getting overloaded.
Luckily it only took about 10 minutes after that before I got in and my phone is back.
The App Store is super easy from the phone or iTunes. Twitteriffic is better than the desktop version. I'm loving all the location aware apps. This is pretty exciting.

Please excuse me while I collapse.
