Maybe you missed the point where she called everyone disrespectful and unappreciative?

Maybe you missed my sarcasm in my first sentence (of my last post).

Maybe if we're still here discussing this, (and other things in other notes),
that:
1. we actually care about the community here?
2. realize that there IS more to this than has been revealed?
3. respect what you've done here in your efforts to keep 9rules to mean 'quality'
4. respect your decision to make your rules, ban people as you like, and moderate and censor your community as you see fit. (see my first post in this thread)/

However, Tyme and Scrivs, both of you have continued to beat the "Rich is an asshole, anyone who supports Rich is unappreciative and disrespectful" drum, and that's where I take great offense. You have established a community and now you're calling us a bunch of cunts.

You fail to realize this and/or fail to admit it. That's where you fail. Enjoy your saturday.

You're right Tyme, we're just a bunch of no good dirty rotten Noters who have no appreciation for what the 9rulers do. We should all be banned for under-appreciation.

Great way to take a single issue and demonize your entire community.

A+ for effort

F for Fail.

Scrivs, this is now a public discussion of what happened.

Nearly everyone who has responded has a problem with how it was handled, that's why we're here. Talking about it. Mostly peacefully. We are taking it up with 9rules. In public.

9rules decided that this was going to be handled publicly. And that's where 9rules lost face, in my eyes.

So should we have an intellectual discussion on rape or satire? Or how about how censorship?

"There are certain topics that are off limits to comedians: JFK, Aids, the Holocaust. The Lincoln assassination just recently became funny-I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head. And I hope to someday live in a world where a person could tell a hilarious Aids joke. Still one of my dreams. "

- Michael Scott, (from the US version of The Office)

While I disagree with how you handled it, this IS your treehouse, and you can kick out whoever you want, I do think you probably owe at least an email telling rich that he's not welcome to come and play at your house anymore.

people just need to buck up and take responsibility for their actions.

if you poop out some babies, you better watch them or you will lose them. Safety services will be happy to take your kids from you.

I agree - the 1 year plan will be excellent proof to yourself and anyone asking

and - when you do quit the job - make sure you keep that 1 years worth of pay saved away - don't go and blow the money - having a nest egg and earn interest on it. continue to not touch that money until you really honestly have to.

you'll be glad that you safty for emergencies =)

I'd say david seah is pretty innovative.

i dunno. there are very few companies that make me say, wow that is cool, or wow that is really useful

blacktree - the people who make quicksilver

the kismac dev team

the iphonedev team

i wish they'd make a phone that would be both CDMA and GSM technologies

i usually clean things up, rip dvds, go through my "to file" folder on the desktop :D

alex, you'd make Jazz illegal?!!?

just about every year or so i go through and freek out and think someone might be onto my password cipher and so i think of a new one.

i have about 6 now, it's almost to the point where i need to write things down...

i could go for some taco bell but today i've already indulged in some sweets so my diet doesn't allow for it

It's funny, because on one of the roads, the further inland (we're talking 1 block, 2blocks, 3 blocks, not miles) you go, the cheaper the gas gets.

Right next to the freeway, there are 3 or 4 stations that sell gas at $3.29 still, while 3 blocks down they are selling it for $2.78. Rich, lazy people live here in ma town, and they show their true colors, they get off the highway and turn into the first station they see.

Both companies are doing very, very well.

I'd love to see a good study done comparing US gas prices to the rest of the world with a factor of total 'miles driven' on average per person. That sort of thing would adjust and make it easier to see total spent on fuel United States vs the rest of the world, without having a population comparison problem.

I personally believe that people in the united states drive more on average than any other country, thus our ammount spent on fuel is higher than other places, thus the difference between filling up at the station charging 2.78 vs 3.29 can be seen.

I don't have any sort of evidence to back it up, but that's how i think about it and i guess i see things that way because in california, for the most part, everyone drives because everything is so far away. the suburban sprawl combined with commerical and residential zoning of the area and the environmentalists lobbying the local and state governments to keep local wildlife areas, with the fear of earthquakes so there aren't huge buildings all over--all encourage everything to be spread apart while discouraging trains and subway use and further construction, the busing system is old and falling apart, and consumers are paying the cost. you can take a 2 day bus ride to Austin TX for SXSW for $500, or you can pay the same price to take a 3 hour flight AND stay in a hotel.

But... i think gas prices will continue to go up as the supply decreases and the demand increases globally

a Greek marriage?

edit: wow, there are multiple pages to this note. i think all that has been said, has.

well done people.

I figure the going rate is $1 per pixel

i use gmail

i use flickr? i just click "upload" while i'm logged in and then i select my photos and bam! it works!

my phone number is out there, i use my real name. The people who legitly use this information do not have the time or patience to dig through and "find" me.

It's somewhat like some laws in the United States, where the people the law is intended to punish get away easy and unpunished and the people who the law is intended to protect are punished instead.

just some figures:

Top selling albums (so far) this year world wide:

1 Minutes To Midnight Linkin Park 3,827,000
2 The Best Damn Thing Avril Lavigne 3,578,000
3 Not Too Late Norah Jones 3,220,000
4 Life In Cartoon Motion Mika 2,851,000
5 Call Me Irresponsible Michael Bublé 2,386,000
6 It Won't Be Soon Before Long Maroon 5 2,225,000
7 Lost Highway Bon Jovi 1,835,000
8 Infinity On High Fall Out Boy 1,716,000
9 Good Girl Gone Bad Rihanna 1,502,000
10 A Best 2 Ayumi Hamasaki 1,400,000

I'd take the $170k upfront for 6 months, no strings attached, just go in dev. get a team of 4 iraqi kids, teach them how to do it better than i could, outsource it for $25k each, be done in 2 months, demand full time jobs for the kids and get out of there. Bam.

now... if only i were an actual web developer....

boo the battery wasn't in the camera. here's to tonight

involve yourself in theirself. say hi, introduce yourself, and then move on to them. small talk & 100 questions type stuff, get to know the person, feel the vibe and go from there.

alrighty, i intend to shoot myself tonight ;)

with camera of course, i'll bring back a ton of evidence ;)

I agree with Gnorb. It's like in the disney movie Aladdin, where the whole plot of the movie revolves around the Sultan not realizing he can change his own laws.

Oh, of course there's plenty of laughing, but I go help them get up.

:D I personally think it's kinda the situational humor you'd see in a movie and laugh but if it happened to someone you know, or yourself, I don't think it'd be funny.

the dude is in the hospital and all you can think of is jokes?

you people should be ashamed of yourselves!

;)

I love last.fm for the tracking of what i listen to. I can point to my last.fm page when someone says, what have you been listening to lately.

If you pay for last.fm (at least when i did) the "listen to your own radio" feature makes it worth it over and over because, you get priority on the servers and you can listen to a mix of your music, without having your entire collection. Very helpful when working remotely at someone else's house or just chilling at a friends and want to turn on a nice mix.

my Projects page is a pretty good proof of this.

:/ i really got to get some things launched and going

i thought the south park episode was pretty good? anyone else see it?

i wish gnorb was right, that would be way cooler and make it much easier to put cancer" to good use.

thanks kami and oli for your thoughts here

They fired someone at work today.

I'm gonna agree with the title. "Who cares".

=) honestly, those canadians need to relax. It's just the olympics and if you don't win, well you're still canada.

I think it has to do with being born in the wrong timezone.

:D of course, but when you live in a place right next to the beach, it's really easy to take surf and beach photos all day long and come back with 2 GB worth of "meh" not worth posting. (* at least for me*)

Of course I've driven around looking for shots, but nothing has really jumped out at me...

Maybe i need to do a photowalk and go up and down hills and travel left and right.
