Just an FYI on the comments. March was the quietest comment month of 2009. We’re now starting to get really close to triple the number of comments of March 2009
March 25th, 2010 at 6:15 am
March 2009 comments = 1.380 (triple = 4,140)
March 2010 current comments = 3,149 (including this one)
We need another 1,000 please.

It sounds like you need a Valium more than Tylenol, reaper.

My old computer still has XP on it. My hubby’s computer has Vista. Our netbooks (and my new computer) Window’s 7. We have all our bases covered
March 25th, 2010 at 6:24 am
All your base belong to me.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:28 am
That sounds like a good idea bunny. And why would they support vista and not server 2008 or maybe 7? A 12+ year old software package will work on 7 but not the one that came out 2 years ago WTF!
March 25th, 2010 at 6:28 am

OK, you’re in a forest.

Warm.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:36 am
I feel better now.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Heather Locklear? She’s soooo last decade.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:38 am
I’m using XP at work. Next machine we’ll upgrade to 7 or whatever is out at that point.
I think 32-bit is going to be around longer than we all think it is.
Do you think single-core machines are truly going away, even with the pushing of “cloud” apps on to the general populous?
It’s an interesting time to project the future.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:40 am
I predict… the future will see the comeback of Heather Locklear

I preferred Heather Thomas over Locklear whilst growing up.
Training time. Bitches.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:53 am
Death is caused by repeated doses of saliva ingested over a period of time.
March 25th, 2010 at 6:54 am
re: training time. Is that ‘bitches’ or ‘bitching’?

I hate to admit it, but I don’t listen to audio books. I don’t have enough time to listen to the podcasts I download, let alone adding books to that list. Besides, there’s still something about the feel and smell of old fashioned paper in your hands.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:10 am
JN, Now that even atom processors are duel core I think they might. I do think 32bit isn’t going away but 64bit is coming on strong. I understand many programs won’t be able to take advantage of both cores but being able to have one core to max out and not effect the rest of the system is very nice.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:12 am
Even dual core is starting to become ‘old’. Quad is the way to go now.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:13 am
Yoiks and away. :)
March 25th, 2010 at 7:14 am
I have to echo Jack’s sentiment: congrats on the number of comments guys. It’s a nice return to form. :)
March 25th, 2010 at 7:16 am
good point bunny, if more programs could take advantage of more than one core more apps might really fly. We upgraded some engineering laptops from 32bit xp with 4gb of ram to 64bit 7 with 4gb of ram and the engineers are very very happy with the change. we might get 2 more years out of those laptops
March 25th, 2010 at 7:19 am
Still need 960 comments
March 25th, 2010 at 7:26 am
reaper: As for multi-core support, we are getting there. The problem is that, as a whole, programmers in the industry don’t know how to write thread-safe code. Work is being done to make that easier, but we’ve still got a long way to go.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:32 am
Woot. I found my old Big Pig tape.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:37 am
Ditto: I don’t know the first thing about coding and don’t ever plan to learn. but I think in many cases you don’t have to use more than one core. I’m not talking about bigger programs like an engineering package that surely would take big advantage of that. The big thing I wonder about is the difference between 32 and 64 bit. is the coding significantly different? the only thing i know about the practical difference is the ability to address more memory.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:43 am
I’ve heard that there may be a slight increase in security between a 32-bit and a 64-bit OS, but I don’t recall why.
As far as multi-threading goes, how many apps do you have running right now? I’ve got a bunch. Even without a big honkin’ process running, you can see improved performance given the total workload. Also decreased heat production.
To my knowledge, part of the issue is also the OS itself. They’re generally not that efficient in using the multiple cores yet.

I can see the call now:
Phone Tech: Have you tried truing off and on again.
EssBee: I’m going to try jumping into this phone to strangle you.
Phone Tech: Maybe I should let you talk to a supervisor…
March 25th, 2010 at 7:52 am
reaper: There can be a difference for even non-memory work. It entirely depends on what you are doing; e.g. number crunching vs reading a document.
JN: For security, I think it has more to do with key generation support, but I’m not really sure. I have a ton of apps running. I tend to stress the systems I use even though I don’t game on my PC. And yes, my system is 64-bit Vista.
I agree about OSes. But, I think both Vista and Window 7 have pretty good multicore support. And OSes are always getting better. Efficiently using multicore requires a lot of compiler support which is where many of the problems lie for the general application developer. A lot of work is still being done on dealing with memory caching issues.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:53 am
EssBee: It is likely a power supply problem. It’s happened to me before.
March 25th, 2010 at 7:56 am
Thanks, ditto. I’ll look into that!
It could also be a dust bunny problem.

I look at the process list and the count is 95 (10 are chrome). I did notice a huge increase in speed with 64bit win7 over either XP or 32bit win7.
JN, I also notice a single processor being full and the others not being used at all happens a bit less with the jump to 7 so i guess they are doing a little better than before but there is always room for improvement.
March 25th, 2010 at 8:01 am
ditto: Yes, the DragonflyBSD project is putting a lot of work into multi-threading. Could be exciting.
March 25th, 2010 at 8:01 am

Of course, I still don’t know what I’m talking about. But that is a constant.

Van, I think you might if you upgrade to 4gb or more. My work PC is always using 55-65% of the physical memory and I have 4gb now.
I haven’t ever tried more than 4GB on a desktop but my current home PC is the first that would support more than 4gb.

JN: She was interesting, but I hate the fact that her minions have taken to calling her philosophy Objectivism. Plus, while enlightened self-interest looks good on paper, it only works when people *are* enlightened.
March 25th, 2010 at 10:07 am
ditto: Yeah, that’s pretty much my take re: enlightened folk. As far as “Objectivism”, that’s the term she used.
But getting back to the enlightened, doesn’t her philosophy encourage people to better themselves? I’m sure 99% or more of the population isn’t exactly living up to their potential, myself included.

I should’ve started that by saying I only know what I’ve just heard from two T.V. interviews posted on YouTube, so I know very little.
March 25th, 2010 at 10:18 am
JN: My confusion. I didn’t realize she came up with the term herself since I haven’t studied her philosophy in depth. I know it based on some reading I’ve done and through discussions with friends that are non-radical Objectivists. As for self-betterment, I think that was implied by the ethics she espoused.

There’s also the Black Velvet (again, name varies with pub) which is the Black and Tan with Cider instead of Bass ale. Or, you could go stricktly Irish on it, and have a Half and Half, which is Guinness and Harp.

/realizes I’m a dumbass
Crap, I never did give you feedback on Droid apps!
/
Alright, some of my faves
Aloqa – pretty good location based directory. Specially for finding places to eat when you don’t know where you are.
Where – another location based directory. Overall, I like Aloqa better, but Where gives prices for gas stations in the area and I was able to get from the maps to Google Navigation. This one came in very handy when it came time to find the cheapest gas near the car rental center at the Phoenix airport.
Handcent SMS – replacement to the built in messaging app. Will give an on screen popup when you get a message along with a reply box. Major cool – you can use the Android voice recognition to dictate a message to send instead of fumbling with the keyboard.
Daily Strip – (stop it you pervs!) Quick access to a couple dozen comic strips that are accessible on the web. Much easier than trying to bookmark websites.
Shazam – originally for Iphone. Google specifically got with the makers of this one to get it on Android. You can use the phone mike to listen to a song playing from just about any source. The program samples the music and will then report back on the song name and artist. It’s a bit hit and miss, but impressive when it works.
Dock Simulator – you can use this to put your phone into either the “multimedia dock” mode or the “car dock” mode. The pricey docks that Motorola sells use magnets to trigger the Droid to switch. This program does the same thing with software instead.
XE – Currency converter
Speedtest – allows you to run a test of your bandwidth.
That’s a good start for now. All of those apps are free. I’ve not yet found a paid app that I’ve been willing to shell out for yet. The one I really want and would pay for is Ewallet, which I used going back to my PocketPC days. They make an Iphone/Touch version that I have, but haven’t made an android one yet.

Catherine Wheel’s singer is Bruce Dickinson’s cousin, I think?
The version I’d heard as a kid repeated “dead ant”, not “Durham”.
A new Nevermore track! Iron Maiden is also coming to town in June! Maybe I’ll send my lawyer, since I probably won’t be able to afford tickets for myself (here’s hoping, Rhett).
Mayor McCheese is probably the creepiest.
Ed, you are truly an awesome human.
Bunny, I’m biased toward the Coyotes, of course.
Speaking of hockey, I’m formulating a new singing wager idea for the upcoming NHL playoffs. Are people game? It starts next month, will run into June.
Are there any remaining Olympic anthems coming? (aside from mine)

I’ll try the test a little later. I can easily hear that high-pitched ringtone that kids were using (still using?). Very annoying. So, I’m doing well for my age. But I have tinnitus as well. I’d trade.

As I was saying, I will take the test later. I can easily hear the high-pitched ringtone that kids were using (still use?). It’s annoying. But, I also have tinnitus. I’d trade.
Let’s see if this one makes it.

I up for the NHL challenge, but if I go for the Coyotes, I’d probably be subjecting the Pan to a lot of singing and no one wants that. I was born in Detroit though, so I guess I can get behind the Wings.

Ok, most of the apps on my iPhone are games, but other than that:
Shazam – Ed explained what it was..cool to show off.
Skype – works well on the ohne apart from incoming texts disrupting conversations.
Echofon – Twitter client
Facebook – too obvious to explain.
Firstclass – an app for accessing Open University’s student conferences.
eReader – ebook reader from Fictionwise.
Fstream – for listening to internet ‘radio’ stations.
Metro UK – app for downloading and reading the electronic edition of a free paper.
Layar – Augmented Reality browser uses the GPS and compass to show nearest pubs, cafes, etc on top of a live feed from the inbuilt camera.
Pocketgamer – app for reading the pocketgamer web content.
Ocarina – play a virtual Ocarina using the phones inbuilt mic.
Stanza – another ereader.
TrueHDR – combines two photo to increase dynamic range of a scene.

So, while I did have an awesome night, my morning has been a bit less awesome.
My parent/teacher conference (at 7:45am ugh!) went well..
Then my 8:30 doctor appointment to have my knee re-checked ended with me getting an expected Synvisc shot in my knee. The doctor had trouble getting the needle into an area of my knee that didn’t have bone spurs and as such, I had a major panic attack after about the 7th stab.
Once she was finally done with the injection I broke out in a major sweat and nauseated dizziness. It wasn’t a pretty sight at all (I’d assume since I couldn’t see a damn thing through it all)
A nice visit with some smelling salts, a cup of water, and nurses rushing around me taking vitals (all while my son continued to play with his Leapster) eventually got me back to normal.
I think I need a nap after all that.

BTW Jack – the song at the end of this episode should have been accompanied on Ukulele.

Sure, it has some of the basic formulas in it–son vs father, misfit outcast, etc–but it rises above them, imo. The animation, score, and characters were all great.

Break a leg, Maki.
Speaking of hockey, here’s the kernel of the idea:
For the playoffs, we use Survey Monkey polls to associate a song (or a band? let’s say 1 song for now. . . ) with each of the 16 playoff teams. (Egs: Straight Outta Compton for the L.A. Kings or Lump for the Washington Capitals) Everyone gets to pick 1 or 2 teams. If/when your team is eliminated, you need to record yourself singing 30 to 60 seconds of the victorious team’s “anthem”.
What do you think, sirs?
March 27th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
^ Sounds like a great idea to me!
March 27th, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Went to a meeting last night of a new Hackerspace opening up in western Mass. May be pretty shiny.
On a less fun note, I seem to have done a lovely number on my back. Laying flat down on the floor is the only thing that isn’t painful, to varying degrees. Funny thing is, this is the first time I can recall of screwing up one side, not the whole lower back at once. It’s rough lifting my right leg. Ah, well. At least it’s a good time for this to happen. I should be fine-ish come Monday.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Awesome! (not about Null’s back. That sucks). We have about 2 weeks to think about songs for playoff teams.
With Null’s confirmation and Andrea’s last-minute Facebook note, we’re a go on the 60 (now 68) Lines thing! Emails with lines will go out this weekend.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
And on an odd front, there’s this couple we’ve been hanging out with roughly once a month. Nice couple, she’s a stay-at-home mom to a <1 yr old boy, he works with Lady J. He's owned a sidearm for quite some time, goes shooting pretty regularly, and so on. He's actually been working on going in to the National Guard, and doing rather well. Anyhow, I got a phone call today. He's been fired. For carrying at work. That's right. He's the sole provider in his household, with a child, and he knew he would get into hot water if someone found out. He knowingly took the risk and still carried his piece into a retail store, and carried it on his person, concealed, for his shift. Actually, every shift, except when it was being repaired. Words fail me.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
JN I would suggest a combination of Paracetamol and Tramadol, it give me some relief when I strained my back.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
On a white-trash note (nearly as many notes as hells today), I still did some grocery shopping today. Returning to my car, there was a pretty old, white minivan parked one space away from my car. A family of four was disembarking (or “were disembarking” for Vanamonde :-) ). The wife (assuming they’re married) carried the baby. The husband, clad in a Tapout shirt and jeans worn in the fashion of a teenager in a ghetto, walked alongside his other son, I’m guessing roughly eight years old.
This son was saying something to the father that I couldn’t make out, but it had the cadence and tone of teasing.
The father replied with affection, begun with a chuckle as though finishing a favorite family limerick, “How about I smash your fucking head into the side of that door?”.
I was shocked, to say the least.
In New England, we have a habit of droppin’ our gs.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Vanamonde: Thanks for the suggestion. I’m stubborn, I really don’t take anything. I won’t even take Aspirin unless things get out of hand.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
JN: sorry about your back. Hope you can find relief soon!
Bunny: Don’t get sick! *snuggles*
Update on me: My knee issues should be ending soon. It seems the gel injected is working. I’m still sore from the actual injection, but the scary crackling noises have stopped. Woot!
Took the kids to see How to Train Your Dragon and it was a huge success all around. I love love loved it! It’s captivating and the characters are immensely lovable!
I will own… er, I mean the kids will.

Oh, and lastly, since my back has now chosen that I have some time off from working around the house, working out, and so on, I can hopefully submit some new content. One idea I have requires multiple people saying “Deadpan”. Does anyone have an easily-accessible collection of various Deadpanians saying “Deadpan”? And perhaps Jack himself? Or Jack, can you send me you?
March 27th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
That being said, I do self-medicate. For instance, I prescribe for myself a martini and sleeping on the floor.
March 27th, 2010 at 1:55 pm

March 27th, 2010 at 1:56 pm

March 27th, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Johnny, I’ll try to get you some “Deadpans”. Do I have your right email address? The hotmail account linked to your old moniker? If not, then email me with an updated one.
Word.

Amy: Alberta is notorious for actually using more energy on Earthday than usual
Hubby’s happy. He’s well enough now that he can go on his play date today. Lots of music will be made.
Now to search for some Tylenol. While the stories talk lots about next week, they don’t often mention the crucifixion of the Bunny the week before because it was thought that the never ending pounding in her head was actually a sign of the devil.

We watched Brothers. Pretty much great acting overall, especially from the older of the children. Not really a movie that I would have chosen, but it also wasn’t as violent as the ads make it seem.
Still violent, of course, just not a Woo or anything.

He took his vorpal sword in hand,
March 28th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
long time the manxome foe he sought.
March 28th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
So rested he by the tumtum tree,
March 28th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
and stood awhile in thought.
March 28th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
And while in uffish thought he stood,
March 28th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
the Jabberwock, with eyes aflame, came bounding through the tulgy wood,
March 28th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
and burbled as it came!
March 28th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
One, two, one, two, and through and through,
March 28th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
the vorpal blade went snicker-snack.
March 28th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
He left it dead, and with its head,
March 28th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
He went galumphing back.
March 28th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Holy crap! Galumph is an actual word.
March 28th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Ah my first encounter with the Vorpal Blade was playing Dungeon Master on the Atari ST.

Agreed with all those picked except for The Wall. Stairway is a very fitting Number 1. Yuck to that song. Yuck.
March 29th, 2010 at 5:53 am
ditto: nice list. I kind of like some of those songs but I have had enough after a few minutes and others I just don’t like.
March 29th, 2010 at 5:57 am
Yep. There’s a reason why I rarely listen to those (and other) songs.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:01 am
[very important] Speaking of, ol’ VH1 had the top 100 one hit wonders of the 80’s on the other night. They, in their ever present wisdom, picked “Come On Eileen” and the best one hit wonder of the decade. That song may be the worst song of that decade. Boo to VH1… boo I say. [/very important]
March 29th, 2010 at 6:10 am
Lo, That has to be one of the stupidest popular songs in history.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:15 am
Far and away, reaps. Far and away.
Movie notes I saw How to Train your Dragon yesterday. Fuckin awesome. VERY surprised and pleased. Highly recommended to those of you who havent seen it.
Also saw Hot Tub Time Machine. Worthy installment into the gross out comedy genre. Ending was a total piece of shit and the entire film was a rehash of Back to the Future, but it was free. Otherwise rent it. Enough lolz to make it entertaining.

Downtown was a bust.
I think the internal fan on my work laptop is kaput. At home I have it on an external laptop cooling fan but when I work at the office, it’s docked so doesn’t have that external fan. I got about an hour out of it before it overheated and shut itself down. Am now at home again working from here. My giant 1,500 page report will just have to wait until they fix my work computer. Breaks my heart.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:22 am
Lo Pan: Agree about Dragon. It is the first movie in a long time where, at the end of it, both T & I wanted to see it again. Disappointed to hear about Hot Tub. I was hoping it would be better than that. Still, I wasn’t expecting much.
Now, I’m just waiting for Kick Ass. :)

I feel old today, I hurt everywhere. Had to defrost the freezer this weekend which involves going up and down stairs about a dozen times to transfer food, than rolling around on a tile floor for an hour to remove the plate covering the coils. than sitting on that tile floor for about 2 hours emptying the drip tray. Than putting the parts back on was another hour rolling around on the floor. releveling tool 2 hours on the tile floor because the damn thing keep “making some weird squeaking noise.” than another dozen trips to transfer the food back.
I didn’t know my hips or elbows could turn that color purple.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:33 am
Wow reaper. Defrosting my freezer seems like so much less work.

Hubby is on Spring Break for the next two weeks. He’s in composition mode. Another advantage of being home this morning is I also get to hear him putting together his music. I love listening to him play
March 29th, 2010 at 6:38 am
reaper, I also feel ancient today. This weekend was spent up/down ladders, scraping, sanding, painting, demolition, construction. Man, I’m tired. And the house is only 1/2 painted.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:41 am
EssBee, I haven’t painted a house since I was 12 but even than it sucked. ladders are no fun at all.
March 29th, 2010 at 6:43 am

I agree “people should stop participating in such shameful behaviour”.
Like that’s going to happen.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:22 am
Damn, that’s impressive. I also find it interesting that it “may” be found “insensitive”. Like it’s on the cusp.
Now, if he said “furries”, I’d agree.

March 29th, 2010 at 7:42 am
Lo Pan: I agree.
I think Munn should be nuked as well. I had no idea she was doing anything. She’s earned some level of “fame” by acting like a whore at the drop of a hat. I’m all for fun and games, but if that’s your one trick, time to move on. She’s not even that hot.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:45 am
Let Lo Pan sort em out.
Where has she acted like a whore? Ive only seen her on Attack of the Show and didnt mind her. Also shes pretty damn hot imo.

TEB: That is so awesome! I’d love to be somewhere where I could overhear someone composing music. I’m on Spring Break this week (really, though, all that means anymore is that I get one Wednesday night off when I would otherwise have gone to a class), and my dad is on Spring Break this week and the next. Actually, that also means no elementary-school volunteering for me for the next two weeks, because the school will be closed.

I’ve painted the interior of my home, even doing some creative stuff. Never did the outside.
March 29th, 2010 at 8:17 am
The one time I painted the outside of the house, it was an older house with exterior walls made of horizontal boards, so it was relatively easy. I’ve never tried to paint exterior stucco.
March 29th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Amy, I here from a cousin that has a stucco house you can only spray paint it to make it look good.
March 29th, 2010 at 8:28 am
I thought that was probably the case.

I watch quite a bit of anime. There is some seriously whacked stuff out there, but it is a fraction of the whole. To label all anime as bad is the same as labeling all TV bad simply because of a few bad shows.
Blame the story, not the medium.

Funny, I actually still really dig all of those songs, except the Meat Loaf and Bruce Springsteen. And ok, I’m also pretty done with November Rain.
I’ll concede, however, that in every case, I always thought the lyrics were meaningless, pretentious prattle.
I’d have definitely added “More Than a Feeling.”

Japanese Voyeurs are very much a Nirvana knock-off, but still kinda fun to listen to. Some of their other songs have a bit more variety than “Dumb”.

Cj, and everyone else: Yes, there is a way to get a replacement Census form if you haven’t received one in the mail. The replacement for it is called a Be Counted form, and it can be obtained from designated Be Counted sites staffed by people like me.
Everyone, if you haven’t gotten a Census form in the mail yet, or have lost or misplaced yours, please use this search tool to find your nearest Be Counted/Questionnaire Assistance Center site and its hours:
http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/bcqac-textview.php
It saves $4 of taxpayer money if you complete and send in a Be Counted form (we QAC Reps only cost $12.50 an hour, whereas Enumerators, the people who go door-to-door to collect data, cost $16.50/hour).
(However, if you have received one by mail and haven’t lost it, please fill that one out and mail it back.)

morning pan I’m glad I don’t have any synergy meeting at my new job. We do have meeting that aren’t necessary but the info is good to have. we talk about any safety incidence, how much money we made/lost, cost of raw materials, current capacity, up coming projects, general state of the company. my last company never shared with us any info about anything. it really makes we feel better about the company and how open and honest they are with us. guess it is easier to do that when you only have about 200 employees

March 30th, 2010 at 5:33 am
Calgary has bee four points behind for most of this last third of the season. I wouldn’t worry about Calgary as much as the “Stupid Avs.”
March 30th, 2010 at 5:33 am
and also one of the best lines from that movie…
“Thats alright, I kinda feel like dieing”
March 30th, 2010 at 5:33 am
Welcome reaps!!!
No Bunny, I mean they had a hit in ‘Merica. Thats why I know them. Theyre one on those early 90’s alternagroups ala Lemonheads that had one hit and faded away unless you were in the college radio scene. They kinda sucked IMO.
March 30th, 2010 at 5:34 am
I know Bunny, but it seems the Avs have been stuck at 89 points for a month now. Thems hurtin.

Lo, you’re safe. The “naughty bits” are blurred out in the Badu vid. It is also very oversat and blurry (probably so they didn’t have to get permission from all the people walking by.) The most interesting part is about halfway in when you can see the guy in a red hoodie following along after her picking up her discards.
Oh and the shocking final second. That was… yeah. Dude.
March 30th, 2010 at 5:57 am
Lo Pan. I can back that up with a real world event. When we were in Arizona going to Sidona. There were four of us in the car, yet only one of the four brought an i-pod to hook up to the car stereo. See, one in four

Wolf! We can haz topic?!
The 45% of adults owning a portable media player stat is interesting. The 54% of them using it in the car is … obvious?
I used to do that in my Scion xA (because it had a jack. I miss my xA. [weeps]) but since that got squashed, I just put my ear buds in while driving. The darling dearest uses a tape deck adapter with her PMP. So 100% of my sample owns multiple PMPs and uses them whilst driving.
I should go publish my findings. [only midly sarcastic]
March 30th, 2010 at 6:05 am
The length of the puking part is what gives it its beauty, reaper. I lose it every time I watch it.
ditto said “teenage head”. Thats illegal you bastard! Heh

I admit I have to be in the right mood, but some funny is better than others. I don’t watch sit coms on TV. Not a big fan of most Wil Farrell movies, for the most part I find them rather inane, but I did enjoy Elf. Not a fan of Adam Sandler movies for the same reason. But I did enjoy the South Park Movie and Team America. *shrug* I guess they just have to hit me right for me to enjoy a comedy.

I don’t know. Part of it is the whole (I’m only partially kidding) raised in a cult thing where I simply don’t have the cultural references that everyone else does.
Part of it has to be that stupidity makes me angry. Even if it makes me laugh first. It is a fine line between “happy funny silly” and stupid.

Elf was okay. The first time.
I loved Stranger Than Fiction. I don’t know if it is supposed to be a comedy because it made me tear up real good.
That’s my Ferrell.
Sandler, for the most part, has gotten better over time. I detest pretty much anything up to the Wedding Singer. I utterly hated Click. Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, David Hasselhoff, Henry Winkler, and Sean Astin combined couldn’t save that one.
March 30th, 2010 at 6:39 am

March 30th, 2010 at 6:43 am
I haven’t liked Ferrel in anything, though I haven’t seen Stranger Than Fiction yet. Sandler is hit and miss for me. I liked Waterboy, Zohan was silly and over-the-top, and The Longest Yard was much better than I expected.
March 30th, 2010 at 6:43 am
ditto, funny – but since I’ve never seen Avatar or Lost, I really can only enjoy the 1st two columns.
They need a column for those of us that love all 3.
Yes, I know I fall in the “Star Trek” column because of the obvious, but I’ve never had sex with a girl who has pointy ears.
Just sayin’

On that chart, I am none of the above. If I had to pick one using the chart, I’d go Browncoat.
I almost said I’d go Brown, but I affeared what all of you sick bastards would do with that one.
March 30th, 2010 at 6:47 am
“Needless to say, Kick-Ass was not the kind of comic-book movie Hollywood studios wanted to make—every major studio passed on the adventures of a teenage crime fighter (Aaron Johnson)—but now that Lionsgate is releasing the independently made film, director Matthew Vaughn expects there will be some backlash from parents’ groups and political pundits.”
Methinks Lionsgate hit the jackpot here.

RE: Wil Ferrell – The man is abismal, but popular. His name on the cast is reason enough for me to skip the film, no matter how many people say the film is worth it. That being said: Stranger Than Fiction was completely worth all the tooth-pulling it took to get me to see it. Good flick. Everyone has a winner now and then.
RE: Adam Sandler – Not quite as abismal as Wil Ferrell. He at least has made multiple films worth watching, like Punch Drunk Love and The Wedding Singer. I like Waterboy in spite of myself. At best, though, he’s 50-50 hit or miss.
Cj: have you been the girl wearing the pointy ears?
M. Night Smalmylamarama has proved over and over that he knows nothing about film… but he can direct, so there’s hope for Air Bender… As long as he doesn’t edit the film…

I didn’t see this one coming,

I think I’ll just keep swimming
down, down, down
There’s no point in trying

I’m drowned
I’m drowned
Your love is…
like sand inside a bathing suit
Your love is…
a symphony with the sound on mute,
A letter to the wrong address,
Or red wine on a wedding dress,
Like broken bones
in my playing hand
Like trying to swallow
sand
And I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I think I’ll just keep swimming
down, down, down
There’s no point in trying
to reach dry ground
I’m drowned
I’m drowned
Your love is…
like one last breath of salty air
Your love is…
like a map that leads to nowhere,
A wine glass on a concrete floor,
The overuse of metaphor,
The straight ahead
in a sideways glance,
Like the misstep
in a dance,
And I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I think I’ll just keep swimming
down
There’s no point
in turning ’round
I’m drowned
I’m drowned

Still not fully caught up, just needed to heap venom upon Adam Sandler (although Punch Drunk Love was excellent).
Will Ferrell is really funny, was consistently the best of his SNL generation, yet all of his movies suck. Except Stranger Than Fiction.

March 30th, 2010 at 10:34 am
I actually, kind of like Audacity, other than its lack of stability and its strange way of changing my mic’s input levels. On the topic of microphones I find it odd that the built in mic on my $35 Sansa Clip sounds way better than my hand held digital recorder, my PDA or any of my microphone headsets for the computer. It’s somewhat inconvient to record to the player then upload the waves into Audacity, but it still sounds better than any other way. I guess I need to spend the big bucks on a decent USB mic.

Bears don’t dig on dancin’

Bears don’t dig on dancin’
Horses don’t mind being ridden
Dogs just love to do our biddin’
Mice find mazes quite relaxin’
Bubbles really cared for Michael Jackson
But bears don’t dig on dancing
Budgies like to play with bells
Lassie lifted kids from wells
Elephants like shifting logs
Dissection is fun for frogs
But bears don’t dig on dancing
Wee canaries mining coal
Ferrets bred to fit in holes
Dogs take blind folk into town
Kangaroos Jump Around.
Bears are surprisingly disinterested in dancing.
If you go into the woods today,
You’d better go in disguise.
If you go into the woods today,
Prepare for a big surprise.
Cos every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the bears are having a rave.
All around are grumpy bears
Sitting there on plastic chairs
Hanging out in sullen pairs
They just don’t dig on dancin’
Bears just cannot keep the beat
Most of them have two left feet
They like fighting and eating meat,
And hibernating, lazy fuckers
They just don’t dig on dancing
You can hire the best DJ
They won’t boogie anyway
Bears all reckon dancing’s gay.
Homophobic hairy fuckers
Just don’t dig on dancin’.
Bears don’t dig on dancin’
They just don’t dig it.
Bears don’t dig on dancin’
Dolphins like autistic kiddies
Cats are good for aging biddies
Pigeons fly to bring you letters
Sheep get shorn to make your sweaters.
Camels hump, donkeys haul
A seal can catch a rubber ball
I’ve seen monkeys wearing pants
But bears think they’re too good to dance
Motherfuckers don’t dig on dancing.

I won’t lie. Take my geek card if you like, but I won’t lie. I just started watching BSG. I heard all the complaints about the ending, but I guess I don’t get it. The mini-series and first couple of episodes that’s all they talk about… God this, God that, let’s pray, God will lead the way, etc, etc. So why again is everyone all mad about the ending?
I’ll keep watching. Even though I know how it ends. It’s about the journey, not the destination. LOL

While I liked season 1 of BSG the best, the series as a whole was excellent. With the rest of the series so good, I don’t think it was possible for the writers to meet all the fanboy’s expectations.
March 30th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
The first few seasons of the new BSG were some of the best TV I’ve ever seen.

BSG = the shit. it is one of the few shows I intend to get on a blu-ray box set (lost is the only other at this point) this show is all the journey and if the journey didn’t end so soon I would be happy for maybe 2 more seasons than it got. maybe Capricais my answer to the more season question
At that point might have gotten watered down but I could live with. I’m not sure how they could have strung it along that far but hay ER got 13 years, the Simpsons are still going, (insert other example here) made it that far.
Off to watch lost in 10 minutes!

No. No reaps its not. Not by a goddamn sight.
March 30th, 2010 at 8:06 pm
I’ll suffer through a sucktastic journey in the hopes of an excellent destination. I will not suffer a terrible ending though. I will not add BSG to my collection because the ending didn’t provide the answers that were promised, it wasted time breaking characters, and was insulting to the series as a whole.
On the other hand, I pretend that almost all of Roswell season 3 does not exist because it is totally out of character for the show. I understand why the producers did what they did… but no.
Part of the reason I am savoring my way through Farscape is that I totally expect the ending to blow. And I just don’t want to spoil my good memories.
March 30th, 2010 at 8:09 pm
I had a laser pointer and the cat loved it, but I used it so much that the on/off button broke (and I couldn’t figure out how to open the casing to replace it.)
My wife bought a cheap little keychain laser pointer and… the cat would retrieve it. We don’t know where he drug it off to last.

RE: BSG – Awesome, Awesome, Questionable but good, Awesome… but that last half hour…Yeah, two weeks in an editing chamber with the shit they cut out, and I could fix that.
NS: The last ep of Season 4, which officially is the last ep of the series TOTALLY BLOWS…but not because it was bad. When you get to that point, you will see the “to be continued” notice display… but know this, IT WAS THE SERIES FINALLY. There was no indication that any more Farscape would be made at that point. So, I recommend holding off watching the follow up mini-series The Peacekeeper Wars for 6 months, in solidarity with those of us that had to put up with 18 months of waiting for anything on it.

Ed I own The Plan (got it for Xmas) so I was able to view it more than once. After a couple viewings its my opinion that its 30minutes of awesome, 30 minutes of ok, and 45 minutes of complete ass. That being said, The Plan didnt almost destroy my love of the series as the last 30 minutes of the show did.
Really, just watch The Plan for boobs and the awesome scenes of the Cylons blowing the hell out of the Colonies.

Well, I liked the lyric that Lo quoted. It was evocative. But I can’t say I like their music. I mistakenly thought I did and picked up one of their albums at a yard sale and was disappointed to find it was noise. I’m even more disappointed if the lyrics are usually good.

I can readily agree that Ministry is not for everyone. Lady J loaned a coworker their Filthpig album. She said she made it about halfway through the first song.
I think Psalm 69 is solid, as is The Land of Rape and Honey. Filthpig is good, but probably only for people who are already fans. However I bought another album years ago, it had the song “Over Your Shoulder” or something like that on it. I thought is was a big pile of steaming bird poop.

ditto: Thanks for the heads-up. I believe this is rather old news, but always good to bring up again. Adobe is an abomination, security-ly-speaking.
A partial solution is use another PDF reader, like SumatraPDF.

Foxitreader is another good one:

But apparently it’s vunerable as well..bugger.

JN: As far as I know, this is brand new. It isn’t a vulnerability, this is a “flaw” in PDF itself.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:21 am
All PDF applications are vulnerable to this “flaw” since it is part of the language itself.

March 31st, 2010 at 11:26 am
JN: Yeah. Disabling JS will not help you avoid this exploit.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:29 am
ditto: Crap. They really need to be sued.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:35 am
I wonder if it has anything to do with the movie support that is part of the format. There’s some weird stuff in here.
JN: Yeah, Adobe certainly should be doing better than they have.

Jack: Interesting. I started skimming that. There was a good talk about this during The Last HOPE. I also read there was a study that showed people liked music more if they thought other people would like it.
March 31st, 2010 at 11:54 am
Jack: And that’s pretty much why I don’t listen to radio anymore.

Gosh… PDF gone to hell.

“Blink” is a great book that I read a year or two ago. In it, there was a discussion about not only the production of music, but the fact that corporate radio uses a *formula* to determine whether a song should be a hit or not, and how often the song should be placed into the rotation. The interesting thing is that there was an artist that was highly followed on the web and highly requested on MTV and yet the formula hated him. So, he never got any airplay.
