Very, very sick at the moment. So I'd be washing your hands obsessively after reading tonight's ONT if I were you. Me - I'm gonna eat some meat and then shamble over to the ambulatory care center.
Overthinking and Your Child-Like Mind
This is a test that supposed to show how sometimes knowing too much leads to overthinking and keeps you from solving problems creatively. Now I don't really believe this to be true except for superficial levels of knowledge about something. But after two or three minutes pondering this puzzle I decided I probably was overthinking it and took a break. When I came back, I saw the answer in about 30 seconds.
Oh and the article's anecdote about NASA being too uncreative to use pencils in space is pretty much all bullshit. The engineers at NASA weren't stupid and there were good reasons for switching over to pens instead.
If a gang of white American thugs attacked African-Americans, and defended their action on the ground that they were protesting Robert Mugabe's seizure of white-owned farms in Zimbabwe, the world would laugh at their foolishness even as it condemned their bigotry. This isn't quite how it works when goons around the world attack Jews and Jewish buildings and defend themselves by saying that they are angered by things the Israeli government has done.

CA Assemblyman Chuck DeVore: Gone To Texas
It's bad when even the politicians start fleeing. But not surprising that conservative Republicans with actual skills would be the first ones out.
When Tennessean Davy Crockett lost his seat in Congress, he famously told the world "Y'all can go to hell. I'm going to Texas." Now California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore is following Crockett's lead.
[A]s with many in the Golden State, I have found it hard to earn enough to support my family. My old aerospace clientele has fled to greener, less-expensive pastures. Combined with the drain on our savings caused by six years of public service in the Assembly, we have come to the reluctant conclusion that it is time to move.The good news is that there are still other places in America where the taxes are lower and the regulations less onerous than here in California, my home for most of the past 36 years.
One such place is Texas.
...Believe me, with what I know about California, having been the chief Republican on the Assembly's tax writing committee, Texas is a vastly different land in regards to public policy.
Get Your Own Ace/Ewok Action Figure
Users start by obtaining well-lit front and profile head shots of themselves against a neutral background - glasses are a no-no. They then upload those shots to Firebox's website so that a tiny model of said head can be made, using a 3D printer. The end product appears to be a little on the "low-res" side, as most 3D-printed items presently are, but it's certainly presentable.Once the head is complete, it's sent to the buyer, along with one of five superhero dolls (sorry - action figures) of their choice. The customer then pops off the stock superhero head, and replaces it with their own. What they do with the original superhero head is entirely up to them.
Getting a Personalised Superhero Action Figure of your own will set you back £79.99 (US$127).

Good evening, good people--again. Project Ford is back from the body shop, resplendent in it's new green paint. The front clip is still off and will sit for another day for the paint to harden before final assembly. Paint has hardener to facilitate the drying process, otherwise it would be weeks before we could finish. Now, simply taping edges etc, will protect things while we bolt it together.
Going to look beautiful when done.

Got an anecdotal report from the "soccer mom" voting block today. Working a game on the line and while I couldn't hear everything they were discussing, Obamacare was clearly the topic. At one point one of the moms said very clearly and angrily "But it's just so socialist!" Never heard anything like that before from them, especially about politics, and usually when there's that much anger from the crowd it's directed at me.

So, do I mention to the ex-wife at some point, "Hey, I'm dating! Isn't that great!" or just wait for, "Hey whose the hot chick I don't know who linked to you on facebook?"

Good Evening all,
Glad to see I'm no where near the top 10 list, I would have to turn off my interwebs as it would provide proof I waste too much time here (my wife accuses me of that, but I tell her "Show me proof!" then run away.
Well anyway I'll be here all night practicing my turkey call for this weekend (in which I may just not go out, but heck, weekend without wires, that's fun! Oh and fireworks, and guns regardless, shoot 'em off the porch.)

I don't really care what she thinks of me on a personal level. She has to be the dumbest woman on the planet to let Stuck get away. What worries me is that I don't want to make life more difficult for him. He still is very active in his daughter's life and I don't want to make that harder for him.
Posted by: Hummingbird at April 15, 2012 10:37 PM (R5yLq)
Its sounded like his daughter likes you, so that doesn't seem like much of a problem. And depending on how much of Stuck is in her she might just tell her own mom off if she were to start saying crap about you and Stuck.

... so, courtesy of Hot Air, "David Axelturf Endorses Romney" ... on video.
Weather forecast predicts much angst, fallout and wailing and gnashing of teeth, starting Monday. I, for one, believe Axelturf, and feel better.

Funny thing, tho, she cdn't help herself--at the end she trashes all the GOP candidates, with the praiseworthy exceptions of Mssrs Paul and Huntsman--as WARMONGERS...And sotto voce praised Ogabe for his cool-headed and handed moderateness...

It's one of the 16 basic personality types as identified by the Meyers-Briggs test, which is commonly used in business and hogwash applications. Look it up on wiki...INTJ is a "mastermind"...literally, that's what it's called. I think they pump it up some, because none of the types is "asshole".

Or a head fake, or just a stupid network in need of ratings jumping to conclusions, or just trying to rattle Obama while he is already distracted, or just trying to assess US/Iranian/world military and diplomatic responses.
Could be anything. How does preparing to take out an Iranian nuke program look different than any other training exercise?

Well, in the firearms context it's a way to say that you are preparing for home/self-defense without saying you are thinking of a specific target. Almost like saying you are getting it for a fictional target, so if anything every goes haywire you have not indicated the intent of shooting a particular class of person (home invader, whatever).
In the general culture though, I find the whole vampire/zombie thing unsettling. I think the pop culture trend shows a desire to dehumanize other outside your group/clique. Creepy.

Of course, 4=? because the puzzle has nothing to do with loops, but with numbers. You could have written everything with Roman Numerals (adding a "0", of course) or stick counting (again, adding a "0") and the whole puzzle would work the same ... without any loops at all.

Actually, the last message from the Titanic was two "V" signals as Phillips tried to adjust the spark to keep transmitting. Titanic's call sign was also "MGY," not "MSY."
Yep, had to sit in the back seat of a car for a 10-day cross-country trip with nothing to do but read "A Night To Remember" over and over and over again. Titanic shit is seared *seared* into my memory, although I don't have the hat.

It's already been done before. There was a version that worked with the Live! camera and genlock on the Amiga over twenty years ago. It really isn't a problem. The scripting used to drive the Pioneer industrial LD players was very slow. Like interpreted BASIC slow. Actually, BASIC worked just fine for controlling that kind of game.
The big challenge for the early home versions was the FMV. If you had a real LD player or a hardware MPEG decoder, it became a simple exercise.

Dragon's Lair was something of a standby for demoing any sort of interactive video system for a long time. I had a colleague at Cinemaware who'd been involved in a number of LD-based projects and the company was trying to be in the lead on CD-ROM. We actually shipped the first CD-ROM PC game in the UK but it was really just a synced audio track for the existing Defender of the Crown. But it was considered a big deal at the time.
Amiga Live! was a very early precursor to the Kinect, being one of the first commercially available camera driven movement sensing interaction systems. There had been other stuff going back to the 70s but this was the first that was a packaged product rather than a lab demo. I'm not finding a good example on YouTube but the sort of thing that was a freebie with Intel web cams by 1999 was a big deal then, appearing to paint a virtual room by moving your arms around.
Using onscreen targets for controller inputs rather than paint brushes was a natural. Not cheap enough for a marketable game but a glimpse of the future. Sony's EyeToy for the PS2 brought things forward a bit more and Kinect upped the ante a lot on the sensors used and the pre-processing in the unit.
There are plenty of Kinect games much more complex than Dragon's Lair already. I don't think they'll have a problem. It won't be perfect but nothing is so far in motion control.

OML - watching the repeat of Meet the Morons. Tiny Tim just said and repeated, there is NO chance of us becoming Greece (in next 2 yrs). And that the debt does not matter. When we blow up, he needs to be the first swinger.

That is now called "Zelaya Style", to give note to Barky's buddies and commemorate Barky's attempt to support a leftist coup in Honduras led by Zelaya, a true tin-foil lunatic who thought the Mossad was trying to read his mind with radio waves or something.

As far as best guns to own go, the ol' Ar-15 is so common in America almost every redneck, and I am one, owns at least one. Parts are easy to come by, and there are more accessories available than you can name, plus if crap really hits the fan they'll be plenty of them laying around for spare parts. My favorite would be the Colt Law Enforcement edition with a Trijicon tritium sight, like the RMR...if I had one, which I don't, because guns are bad and only evil people own guns.
Others would argue the 5.56 mm is too small a round and is only good for varmits, and they would have a point to an extent, and you can buy a much better gas piston system like the SIG 556, or go for a bigger rifle like an M-1 or AR-10 firing the .308 or 7.62x51. But if i was going to have just one gun when the world ends, the zombies come, and hunger games and fallout come true, it would be the AR-15. But that's just me.

Foil the windows?
Back when I worked rotating shift work I had two large pieces of cardboard that I cut out of a box. They were cut to the size of the bedroom windows and I inserted them in the windows when I was ready to sleep. That way they could be easily inserted and removed.

SCOAMF is withholding comment on the Secret Service while the investigation is going on.
In the normal course of action we would have had the usual posing comments and unnecessary interjection of himself into the situation, particularly is he could portray himself as the victim or hero in the situation.
Instead, he clams up. I am a bit more curious about what's going on with that, given his reaction.

We have a coyote hanging out in the neighborhood during the day. Not good.
After considering the arsenal, I elected to take the mini-14 out of the gun safe and keep it nearby. Big enough round to do the job, quiet enough not to scare the crap out of people.
No sign of the bastard yet.

----------------------
Mini-14 quite? The one I had wasn't. If you are in a residential neighborhood and are not worried about the cops use a shotgun.
If you have a chance of alerting cops with a shot, use a bow or call animal control.

I wouldn't want that POS case either. It's gonna be toxic to anyone that touches it. The silver lining to this, of course, is that the prosecutor is damaged goods from now on.

Alas, it was not so. And why haven't the Hispanic groups come out in support of Zimmerman? Because they are simply an arm of the democratic party, just like the NAACP.
Furthermore, no one bothered to check Zimmerman's history and political affiliation so they cannot even tar him with the GOP brush.
However, the fact that a sitting president would deliberately start a lynch mob for political posturing is pretty damn scary.

Exactly my thoughts, this seems inconsistent. If they can add, why aren't they seeing numbers instead of shapes? If all they see is shapes, how are they adding?

I kind of stole this one from my SO, who has been using it since '93 or so on USENET, before that it was the name of his band. They were Screamin' Weasel (after the aircraft) but it sounded too punk and he got tired of explaining to venue managers, no, they weren't death metal or whatever, so they had a brainstorm, they liked the weasel illustration they had for a logo so they wanted to keep the weasel, and they floated Sgt. Weasel, Mr. Weasel, (my SO's fav was Senor Weasel, but he was voted down) and finally they settled on Doctor Weasel, but people shortened it themselves to Doc Weasel and the band became known that way locally, they bought the domain for a band site, then he and his programmer friends ended up using it for a variety of projects and the band had to abandon the site which had become too out-there. So the name is venerable, if not respectable.

45 seconds, then again my preschool kid is still trying to figure it out. In that time I went through bases, letters, a dozen math equations, pencil lifts, digital fabrications, before hitting on the holes... If I had done pencil lifts and digital fabrications first, then I probably could have done it in 10 seconds.
However, having gone through so much math in my life, because they were numbers, I wasted my time on mathematical sequences, it wouldn't have happened if I was an ignorant preschooler with no knowledge of numbers, then they would have just been shapes. My preschooler knows multiplication so she is still stuck trying to figure out the 'math' of it thinking it's a math challenge.
