Svar till Jan Banan: Hur kan allt vara Fejk?

Re: Jättegunga!

David — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 17:01:18 -0000

Varför är allt fejk som alla skriver?

Det kan inte vara så att det är en artist gunga eller?

Alla skriver fejk på alla och alla videos, inget är verkligenhet nu förtiden då eller?

Såg ett program på Discovery om naturkatastofer då ett stort damm moln körde över en hel by då en invånare just sa att folk på nätet hade sagt att det var fejk då kan kunde garantera att det inte var det då han filmat allt.

PS: Allt är inte FEJK....

Alright Craig, if this blog is so worthless, why the fuck have you spent so much time in the last day defending your rock-solid point?
I can't say that I've never run a red light downtown (or anywhere else in this city) because as an engineer, it totally pisses me off that the city is so inefficient with its traffic. I agree with you there, but the rest of your posts are amazingly non-factual. Grand and Gravois is no Times Square, but that area hosts more foot and car traffic than nearly any intersection downtown.

[REPLY - Yes, much of our city sees quite a bit of foot traffic despite the fact we've butchered so much of the fabric. To folks like Craig foot traffic is likely seen as the poor out doing harm. - SLP]

Re: Why the next iPhone absolutely needs a better camera

David — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 08:50:23 -0000

Odd that a phone with an "annoying" camera is the most popular choice by some margin for flickr users, as well as being your own preferred tool for "life photo journaling" (what ever the hell that is).
Presumably that preferred is over all those other camphones with "less annoying" cameras yes?

"if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

For most people (including yourself apparently) the camera is clearly secondary to the phones core appeal, increasing the photographic capability may likely result in compromises elswhere be it dimensions, weight, battery life or cost.

As such if a better camera is really that vital, the answer is obvious, buy a different phone.

Re: Fucked in Park Slope - The BEST Park Slope Blog. - Home - Blognigger Doesn't Like The Court Street Movie Theater Either

David — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:48:22 -0000

Erica and BN's posts side with basic civility, social norms and the ability to go to a movie without getting stabbed in the ear by a ghetto chick wearing stiletto heels. That being said: Yes, see your movies at BAM if you don't enjoy the, um, interactivity at Court Street. But let's also keep in mind that the Court Street theater wasn't plopped down by Forest City in "the middle of Brooklyn." That shit was built on whitey's turf. It is located, not in Downtown Brooklyn or "the middle of Brooklyn" but in the neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights. The investment bankers of Brooklyn Hts have the right to expect some level of civility among the heathens visiting their neighborhood.

As for this notion that Park Slope is a "bland affluent hamlet" or that people who live here want it to be that way... Dude: You need to get out of your Bushwick artist loft for a minute and visit some of the suburbs around St. Louis or Phoenix or about one hundred other places across this fine country and get yourself a serious reality check. Compared to about 99% of America, Park Slope is a ridiculously diverse, interesting, lively neighborhood. The people who want the affluent blandness have moved on to Maplewood and Hastings. And, btw, if you want to see some really intense homogeneity, take the bus out to Mill Basin, walk around the Satmar part of Williamsburg on a Friday or check out Caribbean Crown Heights. Compared to a lot of Brooklyn neighborhoods, Park Slope is ridiculously diverse. The big difference is that you don't see working class Italian, Satmar and Caribbean neighborhoods hating on themselves for their lack of diversity like folks such as yourself. Clearly, There are not enough Earlham and Oberlin graduates in those neighborhoods to generate the proper amount of self-hate.

Re: Fucked in Park Slope - The BEST Park Slope Blog. - Home - I Will Never Go To The Court Street Movie Theater Again

David — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:27:10 -0000

Thanks to Blognigger for coming in and so eloquently putting this issue in proper perspective.

Before I had a wife and children and was still willing to risk my life and see movies at Court Street, my basic rule was this:

You don't see white movies at Court Street. For example, "Sideways" is not a movie you're going to want to see at Court Street. "Sideways" is a white movie. You see your white movies at BAM, Cobble Hill, Pavillion or Brooklyn Hts. You've got plenty of options for your white movies. You go to Court Street when you're in the mood to hear people yelling at the screen when shit blows up.

haha, nice. I don't know what's with bloggers expecting ridiculous credit for what hundreds of other people have discovered at the same time as them while browsing the internet/working hard. I get it to a point. Thing is, unless there's serious talent (writing) involved, it's unnecessary and extremely self-indulgent.

Also, in this case the blogger was mistaken as to the non-credit..he apparently missed the picture of his face with the reblog.

Re: Jake And Amir Dot Com - New Guy

David — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:08:04 -0000

this is comment number four million or so but i just had to say... i like J&A as much as the next guy (and in a healthy, as in not obsessive, way) but i still can't tell if all the people going apeshit about jake "leaving" are being serious, playing along, or just sucking up?

to me this is so obviously just the setup to some mini J&A arc.. with jake coming back in 1-2 episodes. i hope this is self evident but if anyone needs consoling... there's no mention of jake leaving ANYWHERE else and if he actually was moving to cali, i'm sure he'd get a bigger sendoff than this.

also does anyone really believe they'd continue this with someone other than jake? someone who seems to appreciate all of amir's foibles? that's contrary to like, all of the jokes here.

I can give you a reason - they are in phase one clinical trials of Tsyabri as a treatment for Multiple Myeloma. They use extremely small groups of hand picked test subjects to ensure a success rate high enough to continue to Phase Two clinical trials. As your father is end-stage, they expect the drug to not to save him at his stage and are not willing to risk damaging the results of the clinical trials. To them it i your father's live weighed against a patent extension and millions in revenue.

Re: Updates on Doner; It's. Not. Pretty. - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

David — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:28:57 -0000

you have to either change the mentality of the people here or change the people. simple as that. people here need to care about advertising and developing smart marketing solutions again (whether it be through product development, packaging, etc.)

i think it's safe to assume that most of the people care more about getting the job done as easily and quickly as possible. you think the account folks or the print producers know what campaigns/agencies are hot right now? how bout the bulk of the creative department? you think they're immersed into the circle jerk ad community like everyone else? no. so with that you get everything you wanted out of doner -- a 9 to 5, a safe haven for you to "settle" in, and also ostracism from the rest of the adworld.

so, let's accept that allan won't be going anywhere soon and all the other things that won't change. what can we change? i'm sure most of the people reading this work at doner. i'm almost certain that if everyone actually cared about the "art" itself, that we'll be churning out quality work again.

instead, people keep on bashing others on an anonymous front. there are a lot of problems w/doner's practices (lack of communication, lack of transparency, poor environmental design, closed doors creative process, creative directors that are still concepting instead of directing, lack of agency culture, no type of camaraderie, no cultivating and development of jr creatives, etc.).... i'm sure many higher ups are reading this. the cats are out of the bag. now that you all know what's wrong, let's fix it.

to those in power to change, please do so. because as evident in these posts, if the ship sinks and someone's to blame....it's the captain, not the deckhands. last thing detroit needs is another shipwreck. see that? that's metaphor.

gerry graf was an account guy. so what the hell are we talking about? if anything, it gives rob the advantage of knowing the processes and dynamics.

good creative has to be cultivated by every department and through every stage of the process. sorry, but maybe i'm a little naive to the fact that i think everyone that works in advertising is in it for the CREATIVE aspect. think of working in advertising and all you think is "ok, you come up with ideas for commercials!" though not everyone can hack it, i'd like to think that people gravitate towards the biz to be a part of the creative process.

if the print producer doesn't care about it, if the account people don't believe in it, then we'll never win. cp+b, w+k, all those agencies are filled with great creatives and have an awesome supporting cast to help cultivate it.

please, it is a sweatshop. sure, it is. but can we all agree that you work hard and do good stuff and you'll be rewarded. if you don't then you move on. the growth will be exponential and you'll be an invaluable resource. and move on! it's fine and it's accepted.

and as i mentioned before, we can't change certain things. since this has taken the form of a townhall meeting. let's say we print this sonnuvabitch out and give rob and alan and all the higher ups a copy. if they nothing changes, then we can point fingers. what's the point of bitching to each other if no one (reading this) has the ability to change anything.

and as for direct...i definitely respect it. but if we're going to prioritize...what do you think is going to help an agency? creative thinking that takes people on unpaved paths? or succint writing and well-behaved diction that is concise? i'm sorry, but it's the writer that is versed in both that will survive. sorry. i really wish no one lost their jobs; but you know...that's not the reality of it.

rob was brought on to change this place. alan, as evil as he may be, believes in him. and us believing in him would certainly work out in our favor. it's like rush limbaugh hoping that obama fails, or dems hoping that bush would fail. draw the ven diagrams and see where you fit in: doner...detroit..michigan...america, even.

While I agree with this comment, especially the liberal elitist part, I can't buy that this business is going to close just because there isn't an A-Frame sign on the sidewalk. This place specialized in Tea. Americans don't do tea, it is a very small niche market. Bil mentioned before that he was struggling before the sign ban, I'd imagine so, paying NBPT retail space rent, selling tea in a back alley at $3 a pot. In addition, I've lived here for 15 years, I go to dinner 2-3 times a week downtown and get a bagel a few days a week before work. Before this A-frame debate I never knew this place even existed. So I think it is a bit unfair to blame the demise completely on one thing.

The comment in the opinion above stating that the council feels that these A-Frame things are a pedestrian hazard just makes me laugh out loud. The real reason these were banned was becuase city council needs something to make them feel important. They had nothing else to do! No other reason, period.

If you're really concerned about pedestrian safety start focusing your pent up anger on the condition of some of the sidewalks in town. Hmmm... what would I focus on if I were truly concerned about pedestrian safety? The tree-root ridden, cracked, crumbling unshoveled sidewalks that are everywhere in this town? Or the MUCH greater hazard... the haunting thought that keeps me up every night.... The horror of potentially stubbing my toe on the Jewel in the Crown sign on Pleasant Street! LOL.

This little town could function perfectly well, and probably better if these micro-government positions were eliminated all together.

There are several stores that I would frequent more often even during the week if they were open after I got home from work. I can also say that I spend more money in places that I know they are going to be open past 6PM. I am not saying stay open to cater to the drinking crowd at 11PM, just stay open at least until the sun goes down!

Yes, I do believe that there could be enough consistent traffic to warrant businesses to stay open later, IF they did! But if you send a message that the town closes down before most people get home from work then you have a partial role in how many people even bother to come.

McCain also proposes to give the money back as a tax credit, $2,500 for individuals, $5,000 for families.

"Let's give them a $5,000 refundable tax credit to go out and get the health insurance of their choice," McCain said.

"It's mostly a tax break," said Len Burman of the Tax Policy Center.

The non-partisan tax policy center says except for the very richest Americans, most people buying insurance will see a tax cut.

"Families at all income levels would pay lower taxes, at least on average," said Burman. "On average, is about a $1,200 tax cut in 2009."

Jay Severin sums up Macsurf's outburst to a tee...

-------------------

DON'T DARE SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE BLACK GUY.

This, after hundreds of years of American political campaigns, emerges as the proud new standard of the brave new world: You can say antything about Anybody - unless, of course, they enjoy the queer status of POLITICALLY PROTECTED PIGMENTATION.

We have on-the-air discussed for many months now the various hideous ways in which a 0-Bama candidcay would instantly re-write the rules of American campaigning. You liked McCain-Feingold? (limiting or abolishing the ability - the consitutional right - of pesky civilians such as we to criticize incumbent politicians during elections???) Well, then you will LOVE The 0-Bama Factor.

The 0-Bama Factor, stated in its simple horror, is that We Are Not Permitted To Criticize The Black Guy.

Aside from having predicted this - an embarassingly easy one - it behooves us to consider for a moment its ramifications.

Within the last few days, the communications director of the McCain campaign, Mark McKinnon, has said that (a) he thinks "criticizing THE DREAM" (i.e. zerOBama) is "wrong". As in, presenting the flaws, perhaps disqualifiying flaws, of a candidate for President of the United States, is a bad idea....If, of course, that candidate is BLACK. (b) he would resign from the McCain campaign - he would dump his client - rather than do anything associated with criticizing the opponent (0-Bama).

I BEG YOU TO CONSIDER THE ORWELLIAN - NAY, KAFKAESQUE - RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS MINDSET: WE ARE ON THE CUSP OF INSTITUTIONALIZING RACISM!

The notion that we can, a la 200 years of democracy, engage in vigorous debate concerning the candidates remains a good idea...Until A Minority Is Involved.

i.e. a manifest double-standard. Racism.

Here is one of the leading political advisors of our time, announcing his intention to withdraw from a campaign rather than criticize a political candidate, SOLELY BECAUSE OF THAT CANDIDATE'S SKIN COLOR.

If this strikes you as nauseating and dangerous and threatening to our way of life, Good For You.

Mark my words: this ("don't you DARE use the same standard in debating the white candidate as the minority candidate") standard, should is gain traction - and I am feaful it surely will - our system of elctions is finished. Finished.

And please note what I have said previously about a 0-Bama candidacy that goes south on election night: there is every chance the reaction on the streets of American cities will more resemble the election aftermath in Kenya than one here in USA.

But the few times a year I drive through Amesbury I can usually count at least 5 cruisers on duty. Amazing, is crime really that bad in that little town? They must have a massive budget for the police dept? I am asking, I don't know. Just curious how and why they have so many on duty police at one time. Correct me if that isn't the norm.

Re: Police SUV to be replaced

David — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:20:33 -0000

I'm not trying to stir the pot, it was a valid question. I can drive through my town of NBPT and MAYBE see one cop. Drive through Amesbury and I always see several different cops in their cruisers. Why?

Another thing that makes me wonder, how long before someone is killed or seriously hurt? Last month a cop passed me on Elm Street, sirens blasting, lights going, he had to be close to 70MPH. Whatever the speed, far too fast for Elm St. I caught up to him at the entrance to Stop & Shop and he had a woman in a minivan pulled over. I mean, seriously, is it that important that you go that fast to catch this menace to society? LOL. Just another overzealous person in power I guess? You tell me.

Re: Police SUV to be replaced

David — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:35:49 -0000

You're right, I didnt know the context behind the stop. Point taken. I do have a few questions.

What is an acceptable speed for someone in a emergency situation on a street like Elm Street? Is there a limit?

What about the amount of cops in town? I really don't care too much since I don't, and can't afford Amesbury taxes, but is it just me or are there are larger number of cops on duty at one time compared to neighboring towns? Like I posted this morning, I can drive through Amesbury and sometimes need two hands to count the amount of on duty cruisers I see. Just a fluke? Am I seeing things? Or is this how it is there? More curious more than anything else.

Thanks,

Doug

I just don't get why these local taxi companys use these giant, broken down, gas guzzling, no way they can pass inspection unless they know someone - cars. Take a look around, most European taxis are small cars. Even in US cities you are seeing smaller imports being used, some even use small hybrid vans or small cross-over SUV's. Why on Earth do you need to use a big block V8 Lincoln Town Car or a Buick Roadmaster Station Wagon in Newburyport??? Can someone please tell me what the reason is?

Rot traps is right. I really wonder who they pay off to get inspection stickers every year. There is no way these cars pass inspection at a legitimate inspection station. No way.

I saw a Cars Port taxi byt the hospital the other day that had a fresh sticker and the entire right side suspension had collapsed. The shocks and springs were obviously shot. The car would hit the brakes and continue to bounce as if the entire internal workings of the shocks were gone.

Nice.

Re: Liberaltarian Reactions

David — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:33:52 -0000

I agree to some extent, but I worry sometimes that we could be guilty of the same criticism. It doesn't seem *that* different to the argument that some on the left make that it is libertarian free market policies that are responsible for the crash. You and I know that if there was no Fed and a free market in banking things would be different, but arguably the watered down version, the version, that is, that it is realistic to assume will come out of the political process, given that there are a lot of people who are opposed to markets, was predictably going to be disastrous and terrible. Yeah, if everyone agreed with us, things would probably have not gotten so bad. But they don't, so they did.

I don't think this is any reason to abandon any deeply held belief, just that it shows that non-ideal theory is really hard.

Re: Thinking Clearly about Economic Inequality

David — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:50:19 -0000

Excellent paper, very interesting indeed.

This suggests that it would be more fruitful for economic egalitarians to redouble their efforts at persuasion at the level of the alleged injustice rather than continuing to point out that income inequality is high and rising, as if that fact speaks for itself.

A recent report and survey (http://www.jrf.org.uk/sites/files/jrf/attitudes...) by the Rowntree Foundation here in the UK (one of the many charities which serves as an arm of the welfare state) seemed to echo this, to the consternation of many on the left. One of the main findings was that "attitudes to income inequality were expressed within the context of a belief in fair inequality on the basis of desert. As such, participants were not opposed to high incomes they perceived to be deserved." There is also an effect, apparently, whereby someone's perceived deservingness is influenced by an observer's knowledge of their income; the whole thing is very interesting. I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine the findings would be even further along in this direction in the US, where there is by far a greater cultural ethos of personal responsibility (to my English eyes, at least!).

Have you read his putative take down of Nozick (for analytic philosophers, this means libertarianism by extension) Self-Ownership, Equality and Freedom? It's a great book, but not for reasons Cohen would have wanted. If anything I came away from it more libertarian than I started - self-ownership had never seemed like a more attractive principle to hold.

Anyway I think the knock-down counter-argument against his new book is that the best part of a camping trip is when everyone gets to go home.

In the last two days, we have had to contend with protests near where we live. While i support freedom of speech and all that jazz, there is a chance of things going wrong - and it often has. Protests are common in this country and it's great to have an avenue to vent our anger, but it also means transport delays because roads are blocked with protesters, or exams disrupted because 175,000 noisy people are marching outside your exam hall (bloody hell, they should've given us straight As). Minor inconveniences for the right to speak some would say. Right.

In the last two days, protesters have turned rioters. These were people passionate people who spoke about democracy, the right to speak and their desire to change the world, but by what means? Through violence? They attacked the police horses, threw urine at the police, injured bystanders. They stormed banking offices and shut them down for the day. Fuck them.

Several months ago hardlined groups sparked a wave of anti-semeticism in their protest of the israel-lebanon conflict. Do i want this in Singapore? No. I wouldn't want my jewish counterparts, or anybody for that matter, to fear unwarranted attacks on the basis of their ethnic group.

I'm finally beginning to find merit in the iron fist of Singapore. For one, Singapore gives avenues of feedback by which every individual can write in/contribute to. Give a man too much freedom and he will use it to bite you. There are laws in place to prevent riots and racial attacks in Australia, but what do you do when people take freedom to the extreme?

Perhaps, like Singapore does, nip the problem in the bud and we shall remain safe. While i think that protests are a good way to express displeasure and to press for changes in policy, they are frightening. The line between freedom of speech and criminal action is thin and can and will be transgressed by those who see violence as a means to change the world.

Re: Bush Heckling

Speaking of academia and with regards to your polemic on civil rights, Chua Beng Huat has a unique approach to communitarianism in Singapore (eg. 'communitarian ideology and democracy in singapore'). You can find his articles on Jstor or in your uni library i think. I've learnt to view politics in Singapore without the tint of Euro-centric notions of human rights, and it's not about Asian values (passe, but!). But i agree, the ex

Wrt to the Penal code i believe all politics is sexualised, in other words, heteronormative. To repeal the law would affect every pore of society, from the family unit, to the military, housing .. everything. The government isn't ready to change our way of life; certainly not ready to give free reign to our alternative sexualities. Imagine, if gay sex were repealed, who else can push for more 'rights'? Opening the floodgates must come slowly and i believe extant laws will change one day. Have hope! Discourse-Knowledge-Power.

And yes, Bush is quite the political anomaly. It's a wonder how he managed to stay in power for so long. But oil is the order of the day.

Sarah, i took my argument from a post Tan Chong Kee (a local academic) wrote on SiGNeL many years ago, and also from theories on sexual citizenship. It might or might not be a bad case to make, but it is an emerging field of study i believe could be used to examine the situation in Singapore.

if you care too much about Singapore, first itâ€™ll break your sprit, and finally itâ€™ll break your heart. Well said. And soon the old will go, the new will come. :)

Re: Bush Heckling

David — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:56:21 -0000

Sarah, if you read my dialectic carefully, I am not arguing against the right to same-sex relationships (Iâ€™m in a same-sex relationship myself, why would I want to fight it?). Rather, I am trying to analyse how sexuality and citizenship merge in the Singapore context, in all its glorious locality. Government rhetoric does not convince, surely there are other areas to explain their sometimes-farcical ways of doing? There is a growing body of work in the study of sexual citizenship and I do not think itâ€™s fair to write off a new field without first examining the political utility of such studies.

I think, in Singapore, sexual agency cannot be reactionary - the harder we fight, the tighter the grip of the men-in-white. We need to find alternative means to celebrate and express our sexual selves but certainly not the way the West did it.

Re: Bush Heckling

David — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 19:19:55 -0000

Yes, i'm well-aware of the academic timeline having spent the last several years researching in these areas. Feminist theory has been around for a long time and has gone through countless waves. Queer theory is dead ten years on and is mostly concerned about identity politics which aren't much of an interest to me. Sexual citizenship as an area of study itself emerged only in the last several years and i think is an exciting area to go into, but that's personal. I suggest we take this offline, it's completely OT.

I meant reactionary, in the sense that you go on the streets and make noise, placards and all (perhaps we are speaking on different planes here). I don't think that's possible now, which is why our activists came up with great events like IndigNation and a profitable portal like Fridae. We circumvent our boundaries through creative expression of the body. And like you, I'd love to see protests and all that one day, but it won't happen anytime soon.

Re: So, what do you want to be when you grow up?

David — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 20:45:39 -0000

you read stories of poor people who succeed, but what of the millions who haven't? all they (we) have are dreams, a few pennies and a lot of bills to pay. welfare is out of the question in singapore, theft will lend you in big trouble, and sleeping in void decks is frowned upon, maybe even illegal.

i'm no longer in singapore and had the blessing of being brought over to where i am, but i struggle still. where do we look to to fulfill our dreams? the factories? the slaughterhouses? the back alleys?

most of you here are young and educated. with it comes along a poignant idealism - good, definitely - but it is not a template for all. you can go to third world nations and see poverty, celebrate their innate joy, cry with them and think that you've experienced life (that i don't doubt, i wouldn't negate your experiences), but look in your own backyard. not all is glitter and glam i assure you.

if you haven't gone hungry for days, if you haven't lived on $50 handouts, if you haven't been driven to desperation by joblessness, if you haven't had your drunk and druggy other beat the life out of you - you haven't seen the ugly Singaporean life. it exists.

people don't commit suicide because they have dreams. they take their lives because they have no more hope, no more dreams, and nothing left, literally.

i certainly support dreams, ambitions and what nots, but i'm trying to point here, that everyone can dream, but not all will see their hopes fulfilled in this life.

Yes, this isn't pointed out enough, probably because the Hawaiian certificate is so easy to find that I assume people will just read it. It very clearly says "Honolulu" for "city, town, or location of birth," "Oahu," for "island of birth," and "Hawaii" for "county of birth."

The Birthers are left arguing that Hawaii would mark Honolulu as someone's "city of birth" even if someone was born elsewhere, and his parents went back home to register him. Which is simply crazy.

That's a great point, and it also speaks to Rep. Bill Posey's (R-Fla.) bill in the House.

Ironically, all that could come of this is a Kobach type getting a copy of the COLB and verifying its accuracy, which would demolish the conspiracy theories about it being a forgery.

I have just been trying out SubSonic Preview release 2, and can get the basic demos shown in the video working. However, whenever I use a query where the criteria parameter is a variable (using both DB... and the Repository) I get the following exception:
"No mapping exists from object type ... to a known managed provider native type."

e.g. this works fine:

var query = repo.Find(x => x.ProductID == 1).SingleOrDefault();

this throws the execption:

int id = 1;
var query = repo.Find(x => x.ProductID == id).SingleOrDefault();

As said, it also throws the exception using the DB class e.g.

string firstName = "Nancy";
var db = new DB();
var result = (from e in db.Employees where e.EmployeeID == criteria.Value select e).SingleOrDefault();

I'm using VS 2008 Professional, SQL Server 2005 Express with the Northwind database from CodePlex. It is a C# console app with nothing other than the SubSonic assembly referece. Any ideas?

Re: Men prefer natural breasts to fake boobs - Odd News | newslite.tv

David — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 04:12:57 -0000

Natural is always better. If fake is better, then why don't we all just wear masks and conceal our true identities so we can pose as whoever we want to and create false perception of everyone around us including our own self. Why have the need to even have names on our IDs when we could change names everyday and be whoever we feel like being in the moment.

Women only get implants because they are insecure about the size of their breasts. Majority of men judge women with implants as whores so why bring that image on yourself unless you really want that negative attention and you want that "boyfriend" of yours who you think you're going to marry, want you because of your fake pair. Okay, how much of that is he going to enjoy until he gets tired of it and starts to look for something else in you only to find nothing interesting and leaves you?

That does not make them friends. I did not care about 95% of the Facebook people, but I couldn't help but looking through their pictures. I got annoyed with myself. So I deleted my account. After not having a Facebook account for a month, I realized that I wasn't staying in touch with anyone. So I made a new rule. I only accept friend requests if I talk to the person in person or on the phone at least once a month. My Facebook is stream lined. Now I don't have a million feeds regarding people I don't care about. It's nice.

Re: Rockets roughed up in Game 5

David — Wed, 13 May 2009 13:22:45 -0000

At the end of game 4, Brooks made a comment about the success coming from playing organically. Not overthinking, not doing too many sets, and playing like one does on the playgrounds. I wondered if this mindset and attitude carried over in preparation for game 5, because it appeared that they were ill prepared mentally.

Rox fans knows that without Yao and against LA's towering front court, the current Rocket line up is very fragile. In the opening minutes where Rockets had he lead they played solid defense and move the ball well on the offensive end. Shortly after, practically all the fouls were tic-tac fouls. Most of them on the Rox. Refs didn't call any of LA's over the back (rebounds), or the physical contact Artest, Scola and Landry were absorbing in the low post. For the rest of the game, I thought the Refs were fair, but by then Lakers were playing well and had a big lead. Rox, on the other hand, didn't make shots or pass the ball, and created a heap of turnovers. Lakers could win without the Ref's jump start , but it was a precursor to Laker's 40 pt. margin victory.

Amen, Chris! I'm sick of all the belly-aching from the NIMBYists. Density is good...but not in my neighborhood! Don't violate my god-given right to an Ozzie and Harriet neighborhood of single family homes!

Re: Wedgwood: the city’s poor land use planning results in a proposed property that aims to take all it can get

David — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:52:20 -0000

One clarification--my Ozzie and Harriet comment was a reference to the single family homes with yards, not to family structures--I didn't mean to imply social intolerance or bigotry on the part of Wedgwood residents. Also, I think it's admirable that the group proposes as an alternative a buffer zone from the main strip.

However, I think there remains a strong strain of NIMBYism in the group's aims and writings. Look at the Wedgwood group's website, from July 27th:

"If this project goes through it sets a precendent for other properties. Imagine knocking down the Rite Aid, All that Dance, the Windermere Building, the QFC, Wedgwood Broiler, etc.. and replacing their entire footprints with 4 story multi-use properties. No offense, but this would look a lot more like Lake City Way than Wedgwood."

Dear God, no!!! 4 story buildings on the main commercial strip?!!! Within the city limits of a large, growing city!!! Say it ain't so!!!

This is what cities have--multi-story buildings on commercial streets. Is a one-story Rite Aid or QFC (with its wasted open space on parking (minimizing density and causing run-off issues) really better than a four-story building that allows more people to live near goods and services? If you want increased transit, you need the density to sustain it. Such developments would help your cause.

I don't begrudge any neighborhood trying to get something out of its developers, but I find a lot of the pro-density rhetoric from groups like Wedgwood action disngenuous when they consider multistory development on main streets to be some sort of apocalyptic vision.

Re: Wedgwood: the city’s poor land use planning results in a proposed property that aims to take all it can get

David — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 14:06:22 -0000

I am suggesting that cities contain four story buildings on commercial strips. Suburbs and rural areas contain single story supermarkets with huge parking lots. I think the idea of establishing a buffer zone--i.e. increasing height limits in the block or two immediately west and east of 35th--is a good one, and I said that. I like that idea. But that's not gonna do much for the people who currently live in the small, single-family home.

The calculus I see is that the city needs to start maximizing residency and services on its main streets more than the owner of a small, single family home needs not to live next to a taller building. That's the essence of NIMBYism--a tragedy of the commons.

As for the question of disproportionate scale--there is always goign to be some disproportionate scale, and there particularly always will be in times of heavy growth. It won't be disproportionate for long if the neighborhood and city get their shit together and allow 4 story buildings on 35th, 2-3 story apartment complexes in the block or two to either side, and townhouses in the actual neighborhoods.

Another alternative is the Street Performer Protocol, described by Bruce Schneier at http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue4_6/kelsey/. An artist takes payment up front to a trust account, and upon hitting the target releases the files free for everyone....otherwise refunds the money.

This has been tried several times with significant success, though in modified forms. Stephen King released a novel this way, but required payments as a percentage of downloads. He promised to complete the novel if he met targets for the first two chapters; predictably, donations fell off dramatically once he was committed to finishing either way, but he netted $500,000 anyway, for a novel that in the end he neglected to finish after all. A less broken incentive structure may have netted more.

Either way, the experiment proves that many people are willing to kick in cash to ensure the production of art they want, even though it's legal for them to freeload.

For lesser-known artists, it can be even better...the basic idea, for this and for less-formal donation models, is that existing files function as advertisements for future work. An artist without a large fan base makes little or no money from CD sales under the current model, and is at the mercy of record-label marketing budgets with limited distribution. Under Street Performer, the artist may not make more money at first, but will have a better chance of gaining a fan base that can provide real support.

I disagree about most popular apps staying popular forever. Current facebook apps (like Favorite Peeps) are very simple and provide very little value. People will get tired of them very quickly and won't want to waste the space on the page for those useless apps. I already see many items in my newsfeed about people removing apps. The "killer" apps will those apps which provide actual value.

Goldman is increasing its leverage and risk taking again. White is clueless. He doesn't seem to understand that the US taxpayer has bailed them out repeatedly after making bad bets.

Dennis Kneale's background as a magazine editor for Forbes means he lacks the direct investment experience several other commentators on CNBC rely on to produce insightful commentary. In real time - without the ability to research and edit himself - he rarely generates meaningful conversation points and often behaves unprofessionally.

The fact that he is so defensive only confirms his insecurities and inability to establish himself as a credible market analyst, while cementing his base reputation as just another useless TV personality. I actually watch less CNBC during the afternoon deliberately to avoid hearing his inane banter - a shame really, because Bill Griffeth and Sue Herera are such consummate professionals.

Re: A brief philosophical argument about the role of government, stimulus and recession

David — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 21:10:41 -0000

the term redistributive has deeply socialistic connotations, especially when coming from someone like obama, and within/after the roiled political atmosphere of the bush administration. While its true taxation takes from all to allocate funds for acts that benifit the whole the impressions of late is that our money has been siphoned off to private contractors with connections, friends of hank, pork barrel programs and other gross improprities.

on a side note..I support universal healthcare because lawyers, insurance fraud, and insurance companies have crippled the industry. Their first step should be to punish frivioulious lawsuits, and provide thousands of free ride scholorships to medical students to swell the ranks and lower doctors wages. However i have little faith in the govt doing anything the right way where politics and special interests can benifit from the rape of the people

which of course brings us to the bailout...recession is mandatory. depression may be mandatory. debt levels were unsustainable. asset prices inflated. bailout powder is being blown on trying to maintain the facade. healing will not happen until confidence is restored. accounting tricks, level 3 assets loss hiding, false colloratal for fed loans, book cooking will not help, just ensure our downfall. powder being burnt as we speak.

Re: 11 Most Useful Mario Kart 64 Items, In Order - 11Points.com

David — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:59:27 -0000

Months later and no comments on this huh. This game is probably one of the best and has most of my play time.

First my friend, the blue shell isn't entirely useless as you say when in first. By holding it out behind you, you can drive in front of a passing player or anyone and hit them by having them drive into it. Just cut them off and they hit it. AND you don't lose it after doing this so you can continue hitting them. This has worked in my experience. And if a blue shell if coming for you, I hope you know the common rule about slowing down and letting player 2 take the hit.

And bananas I have always found are not useless. One banana seems to give a speed boost as far as I know (and helps in the beach ramp). A tail of bananas is great for swatting anyone who comes near you. Or throwing them along the open hills of choco mountain. Countless strategies to be used with the tail. Fake box is useless, maybe it will be lucky.

I wish I could put my skills to the test. But good list.

Like I said earlier, everything is funny until its about you. Then when it happens to you, suddenly you feel like complaining. Funny..isn't it.

My other thought is that this movie is a farce, a satire, a comedy. It is not mean spirited. Those who genuinely spit hate speech, I don't like them anymore than you do, but they have a right to say it, like you have a right to speak your mind. But do not protest a movie you have not seen and satire you are seemingly unable to comprehend.

I think going back to the past would be quite good, they have already touched on aspects of the past.. clairs family.. her mum blowing up and peters brother, her dad somehow escaping. also the formation of the group that is kidnaping people with powers and the somewhat unshocked response of peters mother when she finds out he has powers leads me to believe she already knows about all of this. There is quite alot of scope for new plots if they were to do that, without the teen heroes aspect!

That's not Mohinder talking to Peter's mom, it's the illusion-girl, he's talking as if she was Mohinder, that in fact, must be dead... by Sylar.

To bob: Monkeys aren't the only animals who evolved, everything did (mostly everything), there are no half monkeys and half people, the race of monkeys who evolved into humans are different to the ones that live on earth right now although very similar. If you had looked into it you would see that everything has evolved, elephants used to be much smaller creatures with a much smaller trunk, whales used to be land creates... and so on. So when you make a comment, leave your ignorance out.

yaya, you guys with your boob fetishes. as a woman, however, I must say I really feel very sorry for her T_T big boobs are painful as hell, all boobs are a pain and are rather uncomfortably placed. When she runs (if she runs) I would not be surprised if you could see tears running down her face.

you guys are the ones who profit from these stupid things, not the women (unless they have the desire to get laid or whatever)
