Thumbs Down: Fear and Loathing and Windows 8
I've been playing with preview version for a week or two and so far not impressed at all. They took away and/or hid some of the useful parts of Windows 7 without really adding anything better. I've used many OSs and desktop managers from mini-mainframes to RTOS's and I'm still somewhat baffled at how to do things in Win 8. That ain't good.
As I mentioned earlier, there is no Start menu in Metro. That's not such a big deal -- you expect changes like that in a new interface. But the Start menu has also been removed from Windows Explorer. It's no longer present anywhere. If you're not familiar with Windows, you won't understand how central the Start menu is to a Windows user. It's the thing you generally use to turn the computer on and off, launch applications, open file folders, search, and access the control panel. Recent changes have also made it a preferred place for directly opening documents.
In Windows 8, the functions formerly done by Start have been spread across several locations, some in the Metro interface and some in Windows Explorer. So Windows users moving to Windows 8 will have to learn parts of Metro before they can get anything done. In some cases, common functions formerly available through a single click in Start have been buried several clicks deep within Metro.

When They Came for the Large Sodas I Just Mocked
But it never ends:
"Are bacon-cheeseburgers next? As a practical matter, no. Sodas are an easy target because there is nothing, nothing, nutritionally redeeming about them. But might there come a day when the New York City Department of Health mandates that burgers be limited to, say, four ounces? Indeed there might. And why not? Eight- and ten-ounce burgers are sick things."

That 'Embarassing' Star Spangled Banner
I usually pass on stuff like this, but Bill Press has been a major annoyance of mine since back when I was a kid listening to him on the radio in LA. He used to be chair of the California DNC and many of you might recall him from his days on CNN's Crossfire.In this clip, he says he's embarrassed every time the national anthem is played. It's too -- militaristic.
Which is kind of funny. I'm embarrassed every time Bill Press opens his mouth.

Mexican Cartel Declares War on Cheetos
This aggression will not stand man.
Now several arson attacks over the weekend against a Mexican snack chip subsidiary might be the first time the cartels have targeted a multinational corporation.
That corporation would be PepsiCo. According to press reports, masked men attacked five warehouses and vehicle lots on Friday and Saturday nights belonging to the U.S. snack and soft drink giant. More specifically, PepsiCo's Mexican subsidiary: Sabritas. Dozens of yellow delivery trucks - which transport Sabritas chips and Fritos, Cheetos and Ruffles (among other brands) for the Mexican market - were burned. The good news: No one was injured or killed.
The Bad news: Many cacahuates and rancheritos learned what it was to be roasted in the depths of El Camión that day, I can tell you.

So the Windows 8 GUI is being done by the same genius team that went and completely fucked up Microsoft Office, so you spend 10 minutes looking for the most commonly used options from the old versions.

Microsoft has been changing things just to change them for many versions of the mess. But that seems to be the nature of software "engineering"; each guy/gal knows a "better" way to do something, so it gets changed. We wouldn't be putting up with this crap if the processors and memory available didn't allow rampant fk'n around with the code.
But that's just my opinion, certainly not shared in the Pacific NW.

After the recall, how to remove your bumper sticker?
Nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol or lighter fluid will loosen a bumper sticker, as will commercial adhesive removers like 3M and Goo Gone. Don't pour the stuff on the sticker. Pour it on to a clean cloth and saturate the sticker, let it soak for a minute, then peel it off.
Sometimes a sticker will come off if you heat it with a blow dryer (set on low), and slowly pull it up as the adhesive warms. WD-40 also works, though it is a little messier, and be careful on plastics.
These are just suggestions. If you didn't want to damage your car, you wouldn't have put a bumper sticker on it in the first place.
The easiest bumper stickers to remove are made with removable adhesive, commonly called "easy-off adhesive." The toughest are the paper ones, which fade quickly and wrinkle but are hard to get off. Remember, don't use solvent on painted surfaces.
Mark Hollmann, manager at the Octopus Car Wash on Park Street, said he uses a steam system to warm up the sticker, releasing the glue, at $5 per sticker.
The longer you leave the sticker on — if your candidate won, for example — the more likely the color beneath it will not match the rest of the car when you take it off, noted Hollmann.

Yes, the national anthem is difficult to sing. So what? Our government, this experiment in the notion that men are born with rights and that they should be led, but never ruled, is a difficult one. I want a song that reflects that in it's very nature. Like the SSB, our nation is based on ideals that we will struggle to achieve. Sometimes we hit, sometimes we miss, but it's the idea that we strive for each time that is most important.
Yes, the song doesn't refer to America in the physical sense, but America isn't about California or the Rocky Mountains or the Great Lakes. It's about a constitution and an idea, one represented by the flag that flies above our heads. The Constitution is not tied to a location, as it should be. If you plucked the citizens of these United States from the face of the Earth and placed them on some far off planet to build anew, nothing need change in our governing documents.
Now, Bill Press is an idiot who obviously hasn't actually listened to the song in a long time. The militancy in the song is not on our part, but on the part of our enemies. It is the enemies of this country whose rockets light up the night and whose bombs burst in the air. It's a message that we as Americans understand: sometimes when it's darkest, the only way you know that you're still alive is when people are trying to kill you. As a mentor once told me, "If no one hates you then you aren't doing your job." The world is full of men who hate the idea of America, of liberty and capitalism and freedom. These men take every opportunity to hurl insults, so attack at our heels and to do what they can to lesson our influence abroad and our freedoms at home. And as long as they hate us, we know that we're doing something right.
Mr. Press has a problem with the idea of America as the "home of the brave". Again, he fails to comprehend the full line. Americans are not the only brave people, but the idea of America, a land where men are led and not ruled, where a man has the right to speak his mind no matter how powerful the subject of his derision is a place that welcomes brave men. The full line,
"Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
over the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
Is not braggadocio, it's a challenge to each of us. Do we hold to the ideals of the founding fathers and create a place were good and brave men can walk freely, or have we abandoned those ideals. Does the flag continue to fly over a worthy nation, or has it fallen and that nation is gone?
Also, anyone recommending that we change it needs to realize that there aren't any good replacements. God Bless America will never get past the ACLU, and America The Beautiful would suffer the same fate. Also, both songs, while lovely, are simply too trite.

A caller on Medved today said that you can't change it to a pop culture "ditty," because of that reason. As it stands, the Anthem is respected and for the most part, solemn. People stand for it, and might not for something "new."

over the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
Is not braggadocio, it's a challenge to each of us. Do we hold to the ideals of the founding fathers and create a place were good and brave men can walk freely, or have we abandoned those ideals. Does the flag continue to fly over a worthy nation, or has it fallen and that nation is gone?

An insurgent faction in our house, fortified by some summer-only subletters, have decided to turn us into Animal House. 30-inch tall Delta Tau and Chi, flaming red, have already been bolted to the top of the front porch. The movie has been running nonstop for three days, and there are long lists of things to build, starting with the mermaid with goldfish bowls for breasts.
I've been tasked with assigning everyone their Delta name.

Between Apple, Google and Microsoft, Microsoft is the most decent company hands down. A regular company that just wants to make lots of money. Apple and google are monsters that should burn in hell.
Gates might be a lefty twerp but at least he never let that impede on his business and only let the cat out of the bag when he was long gone from running things. He can still burn in hell with Warren Butthead but I prefer Microsoft to those other truly evil companies.

It makes me want to throw my computer across the room when I use it. Not to mention their need to change the file extensions. And it sounds like they are going to fuck up Windows 8 in the same way. You're going to eliminate the start menu? Really?

Back when I was in high school, I spent many a lunch hour in the classroom of my Freshman and Junior English teacher. We'd talk politics (both conservative, in fact she gave me her husbands old copies of the Limbaugh Letter) and about whatever books I was reading that week.
After I graduated, it struck her how she was never able to keep up with what I was reading, so she couldn't really talk about whatever book it was that interested me. The Alex Project was born from this: a book club that pairs students with adults in the community.

All I ever wanted was the Win98 UI cosmetics grafted onto NT4, and I got that with W2K. That it continues to be updated suggests that other people/corporations, in positions of power to dictate to Microsoft, feel the same way.

Well Microsoft has a lot of smart people and they make a lot of good stuff that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.
But they're also bad about starting down a path and then abandoning it the very next release or two. And they do do some very stupid things.
I think Metro on the desktop is one of them.

Speaking of software "upgrades". My income depends on using Quickbooks Point of Sale software. Its basicly pretty simple, you run a fricking card and a price, and you get the money in a couple days. I need it to do nothing else. The stuff was pricey at $700. So last summer I install Windows 7, and suddenly Quickbooks will no longer run. So I call up the company and they tell me "What! You're running version 3.x! We're on version 6! And for a thousand bucks your problems can be solved."
Wrong answer, I installed VMware, installed Windows XP and Quickbooks 3 on it, and the problem was solved for $0.

It seems altogether possible that Curly bought at least one of those cigars for the under-aged Trayvon and took those visible dollar bills as payment. Trayvon waited five minutes outside the 7-11 and did not leave until after Curly came out. In the 40 minutes before Zimmerman spotted him, Trayvon could have scraped the tobacco out of the cigar, replaced it with marijuana, and smoked his blunt.

Well the beginning of the miniseries was a bit slow, but it picked up. In my opinion it showed pretty eloquently how one bad decision can spiral out of control in ways which no one could anticipate. And also, how some people have luck in life and some people don't, but trying to destroy lucky people just turns out badly in the end for the unlucky.

If you've heard the whole thing though, it's fantastic and the ways in which it's different from most other national anthems are why it's fantastic. It doesn't talk about how beautiful the land is or how proud the people are like a hundred other national anthems (and, really, that's supposed to inspire loyalty?). It's ideological. It's to the point. It says why somebody who just stepped off the boat should feel loyalty to this country and why this country was created instead of just staying with Britain. It gets at what the purpose of this country is. Anybody who's heard the whole thing and doesn't like it just doesn't get some basic aspects of this country.
The most ridiculous thing about complaining about the militaristic aspects of it is that there's one big caveat in the song: "Then conquer we must *when* our cause it is just." This fact actually some people enough during the Vietnam War that they switched the words when they sang it to "for our cause it is just." Not that I have a problem with the militaristic aspects of it, but Press doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

I can count the number of BSOD's I've had with W2K in 12 years of using it on a few fingers, and those were due to bad RAM, vRAM, or dying disk drives.
I've never gotten a Linus distro to successfully autoconfigure a mouse and X at the same time, and I try every couple of years.
The driver code is sometimes good, sometimes sketchy. The Linus kernel group's notions of compatibility are not nearly as comprehensive as Microsoft's, and there was no notion of NLS enablement in the Linus kernel last time I checked a few years ago.
You want French kernel messages? Do your own xlat's on the embedded english messages and make your own distro. They were actively hostile when I offered a tool to auto-extract the embedded messages and create independent easily translated message files. The tool I wrote adjusted printf's, created new include files etc. It was turnkey. There was no interest.

New national anthem: Battle Hymn of the Republic, and I say that as a died in the wool southerner by the grace of God. It's the only one I would accept given the ware we are in. I wouldn't mind modifying certain bits of it to make our Jewish brethren comfortable, but it's the only possoible alternative.
And I'd rather drink Drano than change our national anthem.

Very well said. I hear a lot of anthems before games, some are better than others but the words mean so much to me, I sing it to myself every time. And when teams show disrespect during the anthem, I can't help but hold it against them a little bit. Not that I'd deliberately blow calls to screw them, but it stays in my mind and for sure does not help them get the 50/50 calls.

And it's probably fine for that but the desktop doesn't have a hardware button.
So this means that you can't do things with just mouse clicks and hovering - you're forced to also use the keyboard. And the keyboard 'Windows' button doesn't act like the old Start button either.

Love my Windows Phone. Metro is great for a phone or tablet, but for a happy or desktop? Do not want.
All that flick scrolling and gestures is fine on a small screen that you hold in your hand, but I don't want to have to left-click and drag with a mouse or put my greasy dickmittens all over a touch screen monitor. Seems like they're making the user work harder.

The one rule of Windows is that every other version sucks. They add new stuff, or half of it because of time pressures. Then everyone says what is wrong with it and in a few years they bang most of the crappy stuff out.
The moving of important stuff at random is an old story - Device Manager and Command Prompt are like gypsies.

That mobile opportunity guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Windows 8 is Windows 7 with a fancy start screen. Everything you could do in a Start Menu you can do in the Start Screen. Windows 8 is only radically different if you are using Metro apps. If you are not using Metro apps it is almost not different at all.
Also, before going off about how all this is missing and that is missing, hit WindowKey-X
That's the Advanced Menu. It's not obvious because it's for Advanced Users. The average user won't need it. But if you need to access the inner guts, hit that.
I skimmed to the part where he said the control panel is missing and decided he has no idea, at all, what he's talking about.
I've been developing on Windows 8 the last few weeks, and what I've realized is that most people spreading all this FUD are full of crap. But honestly, I don't think it's intentional. I think Windows 8 is the kind of system that when you actually start to use it, it all begins to make a lot of sense.
Take Metro - it's so different! And that's true! That's very true. It's very different and Â… almost TOTALLY inconsequential to the desktop apps I have installed. It is just a way to get to the desktop. You still spend most of your time on the desktop because - guess what? - not a ton of metro apps out there. And once you get the Start Screen setup, it's a vastly superior alternative to the start menu. The Start Screen is designed for you to be able to put all your most commonly used applications in one place, and then be able to quickly search for all other installed apps. It's a much better experience. Think of it like a combo of your Start Menu and your Desktop. Instead of your desktop being cluttered with installed app icons, those icons are just on the Start Screen. I cannot stress how much better it works than the desktop/start menu combo.
But still, I can't believe people are getting so worked up and defending a _menu_ that lists all your programs alphabetically in as dumb a way as possible. Oh man I how will miss having a button that shows the apps that installed themselves to the start menu in an alphabetical list. It'll be so hard to hit "StartKey" and then type a name to instantly search for any installed app.

I got an ancient 486 Thinkpad 750 with Win95 on it for that. The battery is long dead and you gotta use the brick, but otherwise it runs fine.
The number of embedded computers/routers out in the wild with only serial port interfaces is vast. The weaker 80186/Z8/etc based stuff just doesn't even have the memory or compute power to run anything but a simple polled interface to an 8250 or 16550, and putting anything more potent in those type devices raises costs considerably.

Sure bob - now tell me how much you like it when your car ignition is moved to the trunk, along with the reverse gear.
Nobody cares where they stick things. Its the pointless moving around that is the problem. If the desktop is mostly there, why not leave the start button too. Nobody would care if the other interface added another way to get there.

"Calls for a special counsel to investigate leaks of classified information by Obama administration officials gathered momentum on Thursday after the Justice DepartmentÂ’s national security division partly recused itself from the inquiry, apparently because of the possibility that the department might have been a source of some of the disclosures."
The paper breaking this story is in a rather good position to opine on this.

Yeah, well, I have two big gripes with Windows 7.
You can only have one shortcut to a given program pinned to the start menu. On my XP machine at work, I have a dozen CMD shortcuts that open console windows of various sizes. 80x25 for when I'm doing bog standard stuff. 80x56 for when I'm editing programs. 132x56 for when I'm editing some wide data files. And so on. But you can't do that in Win 7.
I also use Paint for quickie diagrams in manuals that I write. In Windows 7, Paint will autoalias text, which makes it no good for my quickie diagrams. The only way to turn it off is to turn off autoaliasing for *the whole bloody system*.
Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Some of the options and settings are also in counter-intuitive places...I had better luck blindly bungling my way through vanilla Dwarf Fortress than I did changing any settings on Win8. The first one I noticed was what the article talks about; you need a damn tutorial to find the shutdown/restart button in the OS
We would have liked to have seen Metro be an installation option on boot, or have a setting on screen one to turn it on or off on startup, but it's now your primary overlay and the traditional desktop environment is more of a tacked-on afterthought.
Someone upthread said it sounds like MS Bob...I had the same thought when seeing the previews and using it didn't alleviate that feeling at all.
So for tablets and other touch-screen devices, might go for it if nothing better is around and I need such a device (not touching an iPad...I will NEVER own an Apple product); for your PC, we're recommending you keep your win 7 installation disks.

Mitt Romney's house a target by neighbors. See link
ON Dunemere Drive, it seems as if just about everyone has a gripe against the owners of No. 311.
The elderly woman next door complains that her car is constantly boxed into her driveway. A few houses over, a gay couple grumbles that their beloved ocean views are in jeopardy. And down the street, a widow grouses that her childrenÂ’s favorite dog-walking route has been disrupted.

Yeah, but that was then and this is now as they say. Netbooks were never the phenomenon that tablets and smartphones are, iWork is already on iPad and there's more and more rumors that Office is coming to tablets, combine that with things like memory getting more and more available and HTML5 taking over Flash saving lots of power and you start to see that lappys going away just might happen.

Netbooks were killed by smartphones and tablets. They were supposed to be laptop lite for when you just needed to keep email and web features, not a direct challenge to laptops. I have one and love it because I don't need a lot of computing power and it was cheap.
Unfortunately it seems like laptops are getting so large that they lose all portability. For what I'd pay for a laptop with a 20" screen I could buy a desktop that is twice as good and a 27" flatscreen monitor and keep my netbook for traveling.

The microtransactions thing is a shear / slaughter thing. You eventually run out of parents who let kids run up $1200 bills on phone games. The pool has been large so far.
I think the long term bet will be that as companies use smartphones and tablets in increasing numbers, paying $1.99 per unit for a nifty app times 50 employees makes economic sense. It won't be the kids, it'll be their parents.

I'm told its not too bad once you get past the lobotomy and reeducation camps.
Mac's are Unix with eye candy UI these days -- which means that anything not readily apparent is probably doable, but may require a Santeria priestess, lots of chicken blood, and some messy goat sacrifices to accomplish.. It may also render the machine unbootable and/or grease the drive in the process if you utter the wrong incantations.
No matter how pretty a face you put on them, IX based systems are not forgiving once you stray beyond the marked path through the mine field and are forced to proceed in SU mode.

Yeah netbooks are what the tablets will kill off. Laptops will stay. Yeah you don't need one but for other people out there they do need that fully portable computer. So I think it will end up being a case of someone having a laptop and a tablet. Or a desktop and a tablet. And it will just depend on need/want for what type of real computer you want.

I'd offer more expensive service/maintenance agreements with various SLA response time windows. If someone is willing to bet their business on some app, then they'll be willing to pony up serious jack to keep it alive and running.
IBM used to demand source code to vendor apps it made mission critical. The code would remain locked up with the lawyers and inaccessible to employees. If a vendor flaked or went crazy, only then would the lawyers crack it open so IBM people could take a shot at maintaining the apps.

I got one to learn development on Android. I paid $100 at TigerDirect. It's worth the money. Takes a little bit to get up to speed but not very difficult and it's useful for little stuff. The USB download for development is a pain in the ass so I scratched up a little app to download over the net. I'm sure there were free versions around but mine is customized to search the right directories and that stuff.
The one I got is Android 2.2, which I think is the standard right now for the cheap tablets, but that was 6 or 7 months ago. For $100 you can't go wrong. You can get one without a camera and stuff for less.

Are home users buying more tablets? Sure - are huge businesses replacing all their PC's with tablets? No, and they won't be any time soon.
Small businesses will, I think. That's why I got the first one, to give a little store portable access to stuff on their desktop - pricing, certain inventory images, printing ... little things that they liked to be able to do walking around. It was very convenient. The browser was fairly useless for anything too interesting (I have bad eyes, myself, and can't really use it too much). I'm also surprised that the browsers don't have a button to end of page (not that I've ever found). Long pages like these threads are a royal pain to get to the bottom. I assume the function must be there somewhere ...

All have pros and cons.
IPhone Pros, shitload of apps, ITunes app store is central place to buy apps, ease of use. Cons, can't swap or replace batteries, Apple won't let carrier service the phone.
Android Pros, lots of apps, lots of manufacturers, some models have keyboards, swappable batteries, contacts are saved via Google's cloud. Cons, to buy apps you have to give your credit card # to a 3rd party, there is no central app store like ITunes. Sometimes the OS seems a little "flaky".
Blackberry Pros, keyboard built in, email network. Cons, RIM seems to be in some trouble, not many manufacturers.

If you're laptop handles Vista well it will be fine with Win7. Better actually, as the resource footprint got a bit smaller and some stuff more efficient.
But you really do not want to do an upgrade install. Back up everything to an external drive, have all of the appropriate drivers and software installers ready, and format the drive while installing Win7. You'll have far less problems and it's a good time to degunk the system.
My two Windows 8 test systems are quite modest. A recent HP laptop running an AMD A6 CPU/GPU and a Core 2 Duo desktop originally built for Vista testing. Both are running the Release Preview with no problems.
Michael Mace is a nitwit. A large number of his complaints had easy answers if he just made the slightest effort to look. A bunch of stuff he claims is now buried many clicks deep have direct shortcuts.
One big issue is that people mistake the Start screen for Metro. The Start screen is done in Metro style and Metro apps launch from there but it and Metro are not the same thing. The Start menu is not gone. It is changed to a fullscreen launcher interface because the old popup menu was becoming a severe limitation. The desktop apps I use frequently? They're pinned to the taskbar just like they are in Win7 on my other laptop and desktop systems. Finding the stuff I use rarely is little different on the Start screen than it was on Win7. In both cases a search is but a keystroke away and more effective than going digging or panning around.
If I had to switch over to Win8 tomorrow for all of my work, it would not be a problem. The thirty or so apps I use regularly have all tested out fine. My newer laptop will stay a Win8 system when the RTM appears on TechNet. The next desktop I build will certainly get Win8. Eventually I'll have shifted over completely by attrition but I expect one of the machines will become a Win9 testbed around that time, if I don't use something new for the job.

One of the leagues I work has a kid who does the "dive on the ground and swim" stuff after he scores...it's funny until he does it three or four times in a game. That brings it into caution/send off territory. But a good ref will dial it back with a quiet word to the player or coach. Just sayin'.

I have to disagree. What is the Google-run Play Store (formerly Android Market) if not a centrally run app and media store? That Google allows outside companies like Amazon to run their own app stores is as much a plus as a minus. It increases the chance that someone will slip malware past the reviewers but the free app of the day on the Amazon store is a big enticement.
And you can get gift cards for the Google Play store at retail, no credit card required.

Did a HS game recently where one girl broke her collarbone when another one fell on her. Twenty minutes later a girl on the same team blew out her ACL trying to play defense. No foul on either play, but both happened about 10 yards from me...the worst feeling in the world is listening to a kid screaming in pain and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. So I go home and drink to push the memories to the back burner. Don't tell my assignor!

Me being somewhat paranoid to begin with and growing more and more paranoid by the day, I went and got one of those prepaid cards from Walmart.
When I want to make an online purchase I load some money on the card at Walmart. I use that credit card number online.
If the card number is ever obtained by some nefarious jerk, it's no big deal because there is never more than a few bucks on the card anyway other than right before I go to purchase something.
So if someone does manage to get the number, I won't care, I can always pick up another one at Walmart for a couple of bucks.
Hopefully a helpful tip

This. A couple of years ago some Muslim shit hacked my ITunes account and downloaded a bunch of crap to his Iphone. Lucky for me I had gotten a Itunes card for my birthday and had that on my account rather than my credit card. It took a couple of weeks, but they credited my account, but if it had been my credit card, the little shit would have kept downloading apps and music. Now, all I do is use the gift cards on Itunes, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. I have gotten to where I get the gift cards for restaurants because I don't want to have my credit card leave my hands.
The kicker to all of this was last summer when my guy at the bank assistant emailed me a question about a matter. I answered it, but was a little confused about her reply. My email account had been hacked for about 12 hours and the hacker sent them an email regarding my account. Luckily, I got control back, but my guy at the bank got fucked. He had gotten another one from another client, and he wired the money without calling the client to ask about it. He was close to retirement so they went ahead and retired him. Plus they retired his assistant, his boss, and about 10-15 people in all the departments that the request and transfer crossed through.

I always thought the Play Store was more like a flea market. It was centrally located, but each of the vendors had to tally up their transactions. I haven't really downloaded any paid apps for my Andriod phone, because I was under the impression that the store was kind of a free for all, plus I am a really cheap bastard.

It wasn't about disc space. That was negligible. The issue was the ongoing license cost in the face of decreasing usage. The average user would have no idea what it was for and the technically adept had no problem with bringing their own media with any number of alternatives.
Despite inflation and the vast amount of additional functionality, the entry price of Windows has hardly changed in over twenty years. Back in the 3.x days you could buy in a bundle with DOS for $99. The cost of a Win7 Home Premium license today is the same $99, despite $99 in 1991 being worth $167.24 in 2012 dollars.
So license stuff like HyperTerm that no longer sees much use gets the boot. Microsoft had a new license problem with Win8. Although they'd shipped enough DVD playback licenses with two generations of Xbox (optional in the original Xbox) to get the cost per unit down to its minimum on the sliding scale used by the licensors, the feedback from a bunch of hardware makers was that a lot of new machines weren't going to have optical drives and they didn't want to pay for Windows to come with the DVD playback license as standard. They'd rather add a third party app and license as needed for machines that had the capability. So Windows 8 comes without DVD playback in the base license.
It will still play MPEG-2 content. That is a separate item from the DVD license. Tossing on VLC covers pretty much everything but nobody is going to ship a machine with VLC pre-installed because their arguments for why the licensing doesn't apply to them has yet to be tested in court.

Pretty much what it was in Win7. It can be easy to forget you aren't in Win7 if you've got all your regular apps pinned and rarely access Start, menu or screen.
To go really berserk with customizing the Windows desktop, Stardock.com is the place to go. They are the masters.
The first machine I setup Win8 on was the new laptop. Being a new system I went with an upgrade install as there was no gunk problem and it saved a lot of reinstalling of bundled apps for the fingerprint sensor and camera, etc. (The Release Preview unfortunately cannot do an upgrade install over the Consumer Preview, so now I have to do all of that installing.) One of the items that carried over was the desktop background from HP.
I should have been expecting it but I was very surprised when I logged in to my self-built and completely blank before install desktop Win8 system using the same account as on the laptop, and found the HP wallpaper there too! I knew there was syncing features, which was a major reason for using the same account across the two machines but having it in my face that way really drove it home. In the words of Yarnman, "Gosh, Doc, that crazy gizmo really works!"
The place where it gets really useful is logging into a strange Win8 system as a guest and having all of your links there and you various online accounts ready to use with no further rigamarole.

Posted by: The Dude at June 07, 2012 11:03 PM (tw6Ar)
I've only been using Android since February, when I got the Galaxy SII I now use for my phone. And for a month or so I was only using Amazon because of the free app of the day. But when Google renamed the Android Market to Play ( play.google.com ) they ran a big sale where a bunch of items were 49 cents. I set it up with a particular card that I use only for certain types of things, so it gets my attention very quickly if anyone messes with it.
There is plenty of free stuff on there, too. If you're looking for an app for a business you use, like a bank or grocery chain, very often the only place you'll find it is Play. I got the app from my credit union and the one for Vons supermarkets, among other things. Vons has recently started a nice system of custom discounts tied to your affinity card that builds on top of the UPromise infrastructure that supports most major chains affinity programs. Things like getting the Lactaid milk my mother consumes a bit cheaper than the current promotion, or getting an additional $5 off if I buy $20 or more in the store brand beef.
Outside of those and some games, I've hardly scratched the surface of what all is available. I'm a serious tightwad but I've gotten apps for a couple bucks I would have paid hundreds for if they were on a portable device fifteen years ago. Now they're just what you have to have to appear competent at my job.

Naw, we do it via USB adapter all the time but the need is getting rarer as newer gear becomes the norm. The router doesn't care so long as it hears what it wants to hear.
There was one long-running deployment job I was on that put in a new router and switch along with the new server, plus the desktops being replaced or imaged. The router of course came with the standard Cisco blue console cable but this was not used for the operation and would go on the pile of discarded cable to be carted off with the other old gear in the morning. For a while I'd keep that cable because it seemed like there was never one around when I needed it. But after I had about a dozen and hadn't used any of them I stopped bothering. It just isn't as big a need as it was.
Posted by: epobirs at June 07, 2012 11:16 PM (kcfmt)
Normally my recommendation to people is the best way to get a new Windows version is on a new machine. (Outside of the long abnormal period that XP shipped.) But that doesn't apply to myself since it's kind of my job to be familiar with the new stuff before my customers buy it. Plus I enjoy it in a way that would likely cause great harm to the world if I represented the norm.
Upgrade choices are something I find myself discussing a lot with clients. There is a sweet spot for each generation when maximizing the RAM, for instance, has more payoff in an existing machine that the same money applied to buying a new machine. All too often, when I'm called in the time came and went at least a year earlier.
A recent example was an architect who has an assistant who does all of the AutoCad work. I had mainly helped him with his machine and was shocked when I found out the assistant was running just 1 GB of RAM and the IGA was stealing a piece of that. I laid out what it would cost to fix and upgrade the PC (the optical drive had died, which is why I was getting a look at it for the first time) and then showed him what decent new machines were priced at. He ended up getting a Core i5 system driving a pair of 22" monitors for just about $450 more than it would have cost to upgrade his old box from horrible to merely lousy.
I'm confident the assistant's gain in productivity will make up the cost within the month.

Unless you're going to run you own servers at home for everything, you'll have to give some trust sometime.
I may carry a half-terabyte of flash drives in my pocket but that is more about speed and access when the network is broken than distrust of online storage venues.
And a lot of stuff that is supposed to be the most wonderful thing ever I just don't get. Facebook. Are we supposed to become a race of 14-year-old girls? When Nintendo was showing all of the 'social' features of their new console I found myself at a loss to understand why this should make it attractive to me. Wow, feature parity with functions I ignore on the PS3 and Xbox. If I wanted to interact with other people, why would I be playing video games?

I find myself wondering how they're going to handle revivals of games with complex external infrastructures.
It used to be you could take a beloved classic, modernize the graphics and audio some, and release it to a new generation of fans as well as nostalgic players who knew it in its first incarnation.
Star Fox on the 3DS, for example. Great old N64 game that lends itself really well to the 3D display, along with a few other improvements for multiplayer. Very worth a buy even if you had the N64 version.
But what of a game that cannot be played to it intended fullest without a bunch of stuff that doesn't live in your house? They've put off shutting down the Demon's Souls servers a few more months due to popular demand but what about after they finally do? The game will still be playable but a major distinguishing aspect will be lost. And eventually the feature would fail for lack of active players even if the server is still running, unless you want to see the ghosts of players from ten years ago. (I kind of like that idea but it wouldn't work for most games.)
One of the attractive things about video games is that I'm not bound by the schedules and interests of others. If I want to play at 3 AM it's not a problem. But they're making it increasingly dependent on interaction that is not desired.
Imagine being unable to read a book if nobody else in the world was also currently interested in reading it.

The one time they didn't screw up too badly was Win XP. Notice they were FORCED to support it long after they wanted to stop by the PUBLIC. It is stable, it works, it works well, it doesn't have many "quirks". The only thing bad I can say about XP is that they divided it into two editions Home and Pro. Putting all the goodies in the Pro edition and charging triple for it. Win XP Home is crippled and by design but it still works well.
MS hates that. Their whole business model has rested on
New hardware being built and being improved. In days gone by computer hardware improved by leaps and bounds. Accordingly MS used the appearance of new hardware to justify the expense to users for a new OS. Of course it helped that the current OS sucked ass but they could cover that by saying the NEW OS would solve all those problems AND let you buy all that new stuff coming out.
Of course that didn't work 100% as the hardware Manufactures had no standards to be guided by and MS wasn't on their list of consultants about how to implement a new technology and they probably wouldn't have been cooperative to begin with (or stole the technology and then drove the manufacture out of business).
That changed as MS got bigger. Did MS use that influence to make the market easier and make things work better together? NO.
As typical, MS decided that they would try the APPLE model of proprietary hardware and software so as to sequester (imprison) users to the particular brands that they controlled.
Fortunately the cat was already out of the bag so they really couldn't enforce that so they tried to "cooperate" with hdwe makers by providing a sticker showing it would work with windows; guaranteed. This actually helped but most hdwe makers were either shut out of the process (accidentally or on purpose) and some great stuff got shit canned or they were suspicious and tried to go it alone. They forgot that MS has code in their software that NO ONE but MS knows how it works. This can make it difficult to build compatible hardware and it makes it impossible to make hardware that competes with MS hardware as they know all the back doors. (Europe sued and won against MS over stuff like this but that didn't happen in the US)
Meanwhile MS was still providing OS's every other year or so and doing it in the time honored pattern of; OS ## Suck, OS ## Suck Fix .01, OS ## Suck, OS Suck ## Fix .01, then they brought out Win XP.
NO more blue screen of death, no more lockups, crap outs and outright damage due to a program or hardware conflict or clash. No more calls to India trying to converse in broken English about how your OS just ate your homework. It was amazing.
MS immediately got busy building OS Suck Version ## (formerly known as Vista). Vista sucked so bad and was so expensive to run (most hardware that you already had wasn't good enough or didn't work with Vista) it was memory intensive and a symbolic blue screen of death was back. The people rebelled at this so when MS said they were going to stop supporting Win Xp (because folks weren't upgrading fast enough for MS, so they figured they'd do the tried and true scam of claiming it was outdated. Which worked in the past because the Old OS's WERE outdated. But not for XP) the public demanded that MS support XP or ELSE!
MS caved and brought out multiple updates and upgrades and security fixes and patches. Oh and did I mention that XP was also the first software to REQUIRE that you register to have it work? And also that if your system configuration changed enough that you'd have to reregister? We swallowed that one only because it did work so well and the intrusion wasn't onerous but it is a harbinger of future problems and intrusion. What will happen when an old XP user like me changes some hardware? Will they let me reregister it or will they claim it's outdated and won't reregister it. Thus making it officially obsolescent and unusable by THEIR decree. They can't do that with cars (yet) and they shouldn't be allowed to do that with a computer OS.
I have no clue what else they're doing but given the stage that their in right now, I'd guess that Win 8 will suck and Win 8.01 or whatever will be the fix. That'll be in about 2 years.
Cheers.

I can sympathize. I haven't had any outside work the past two days. That means I should have gotten a bunch of work done on my personal stuff, like several e-book projects. But my blood pressure meds have made me more lethargic than usual.
It's frustrating. Exercise and weight loss would let me get off the blood pressure meds but the primary effect of the meds (besides not firing streams of blood out my eyes like a horned toad) is to not be inclined toward physical activity and to constantly feel ready to take a nap.
There is a whole novel I should have had proofed from the OCR rough over the last two days but I haven't done anything with it for almost a month. It's the third in a series and I think the author's widow has flaked on me and the materials I need to complete the e-books are never going to appear.

There is, now, a house-of-cards feel about this administration. Most ominously, there are the national-security leaks that are becoming a national scandal—the "avalanche of leaks," according to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, that are somehow and for some reason coming out of the administration. These leaks, say the California Democrat, put "American lives in jeopardy," put "our nation's security in jeopardy." This isn't the usual—this is something different. A special counsel may be appointed. And where is the president in all this? On his way to Anna Wintour's house. He's busy. He's running for president. But why? He could be president now if he wanted to be. It just all increasingly looks like a house of cards.

You almost wonder how the Studio System of Sycophancy can be maintained when it loses money.
Hell, blame it on Twentieth Century-Fox. They paid Elizabeth Taylor a million dollars for Cleopatra, more money than any star had ever gotten before. But they were so goddamn sure she would save them, they basically bankrupted the studio.
True Hollywood story: a group of producers were discussing the Taylor deal. Buddy Hackett happened to be passing by their table. One asked, "Hey, Buddy, would you give Taylor a million dollars for one movie?"
Hackett said, "No. I'd offer her thirty grand." The producer asked, "That's it?"
Hackett answered, "Sure. She'd say 'kiss my ass, and that's all I want from her anyway."

Sadly, Vic, they could be telling the truth. I'm not sure how true it is in Minnesota, but they are used by some of the Hispanic (mostly, but not exclusively, Mexican) gangs here in North-Central Texas.
If that's really the case, then it's a "for his safety" kind of thing. They're not (necessarily) accusing him of being a gang member, but rather trying to prevent him from putting a target on his own back.

Actors are dipshits. I've got to view it a little different when an actor flirts with communism in the 30s before its true legacy of death, famine, starvation, oppression, poverty and genocide became known. It's dumbasses like Danny Glover and Sean Penn who still tout it today that deserve the vicious kick in the nads.

Ace is a rank self-promoter. I notice how everyone talking about this mentions how he thought it up (wow, what a brainstorm). I think this is as much about him as it is about the event.
The whole thing is stupid. Congress isn't going to intervene just to protect _conservative_ bloggers. Anything they might do is going to be restrictive and vindictive and could well backfire as any aggressive investigation into internet "misconduct" could be directed at conservatives as well as leftists.
Frankly, while I don't condone Kimberlin (who seems to be the instigator in all this) harassing people. the focus on the guy _does_ smack of harassment. Both sides have been extreme here. This 'day of silence' is just childish peevishness. Grow up.

The left has always made a big deal about how McCarthy made up all the shit about the commies and how the House panel was all bull shit. But Ann Coulter provided documented evidence that not only was McCarthy right, but if anything he underestimated the degree the Communists and the Russians had infiltrated the State Department and other U.S. activities. She did this in Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism.
Yes, McCarthy was an asshole and alcoholic, but he was also right.

The 154 suicides for active-duty troops in the first 155 days of the year far outdistance the U.S. forces killed in action in Afghanistan - about 50 percent more - according to Pentagon statistics obtained by The Associated Press.
The numbers reflect a military burdened with wartime demands from Iraq and Afghanistan that have taken a greater toll than foreseen a decade ago. The military also is struggling with increased sexual assaults, alcohol abuse, domestic violence and other misbehavior.
Because suicides had leveled off in 2010 and 2011, this year's upswing has caught some officials by surprise.
The reasons for the increase are not fully understood. Among explanations, studies have pointed to combat exposure, post-traumatic stress, misuse of prescription medications and personal financial problems. Army data suggest soldiers with multiple combat tours are at greater risk of committing suicide, although a substantial proportion of Army suicides are committed by soldiers who never deployed.
Funny how they dance around the obvious in this piece. The wars are coming to an end, and the prospects for employment at home suck.

I follow you. In a way, I understand why the party apparatchiks would support Hatch because they're about the party and not necessarily the ideas. What I don't get is why, as you posted, so many of the pundits would also support Hatch. This really should be a no-brainer.

I don't blame anyone for advocating on behalf of civil rights v. authoritarianism. Woodrow Wilson had been a monster. That the artistic clique would express their outrage against Wilson's barbarity was neither a crime nor a sin.
What working standards that the common working man achieved with a union, Congress and local governance with robber barons and law enforcement had long and consistently refused to protect. Originally, law enforcement killed and pummeled miners and families on strike as what they "deserved". However, consider more recently, Nick Walessa and the Solidarity Movement of Poland would never have happened without unification within their union to achieve independence. It isn't as if "union" is evil; corruption is evil. And the argument exists that unions are no more corrupt than our entire government today. It could be well argued that our government is more corrupt than anything else whether union, business, politics or church.
The "equal rights" idealization that early communist sympathizers supported did not translate politically so that John Steinbeck, for instance, hated the US Constitution or wanted the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic. Top dogs in the USSR may indeed have been salivating for such. But how does writing The Grapes of Wrath make a person un-American? It's experience. Live and learn.
What a life /wiki:
Steinbeck's contacts influenced his writing and he joined the League of American Writers, a Communist organization, in 1935. In June 1959, Steinbeck took a personal and professional risk by standing up for him when Miller refused to name names. Steinbeck called the period one of the "strangest and most frightening times a government and people have ever faced." J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI at the time, could find no basis for prosecuting Steinbeck and therefore used his power to encourage the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to audit Steinbeck's taxes every single year of his life, just to annoy him. According to Thomas, a true artist is one who "without a thought for self, stands up against the stones of condemnation, and speaks for those who are given no real voice in the halls of justice, or the halls of government. By doing so these people will naturally become the enemies of the political status quo." In 1943, Steinbeck served as a World War II war correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune and worked with the Office of Strategic Services (predecessor of the CIA). Steinbeck returned from the war with a number of wounds from shrapnel and some psychological trauma. He treated himself, as ever, by writing. The Pearl (1947) [was ] "so much like a parable that it almost can't be". In 1947, Steinbeck made the first of many trips to the Soviet Union, this one with renowned photographer Robert Capa. They visited Moscow, Kiev, Tbilisi, Batumi and Stalingrad, becoming some of the first Westerners to visit many parts of the USSR since the communist revolution. Steinbeck's book about their experiences, A Russian Journal, was illustrated with Capa's photos. In 1948, the year the book was published, Steinbeck was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

CNSNEWS:
State Department Purges Section on Religious Freedom from Its Human Rights Reports
The new human rights reports--purged of the sections that discuss the status of religious freedom in each of the countries covered--are also the human rights reports that cover the period that covered the Arab Spring and its aftermath.
Thus, the reports do not provide in-depth coverage of what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East that saw the rise of revolutionary movements in 2011 in which Islamist forces played an instrumental role.
For the first time ever, the State Department simply eliminated the section of religious freedom in its reports covering 2011 and instead referred the public to the 2010 – a full two years behind the times – or to the annual report of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), which was released last September and covers events in 2010 but not 2011.

Issa's 'Fast and Furious' frustration bubbles over
Must see video at link:
Key quotes: “Multiple members of our committee both career attorneys and members of Congress and have read the wiretaps that were supplied to us by whistleblowers and reached the conclusion that if you read them you knew they knew they were gunwalking.”
“The Atty Gen said I read these wiretaps I do not believe you would see gunwalking in them.”
“He’s willing to be disingenuous in live sworn testimony before the Congress….”
Greta, “Let me cut to the chase, you said disingenuous, did he lie?”
Issa: “Yes.”
Issa said he is ready to set a date for contempt floor vote. Speaking of Boehner, who has to give the go-ahead, he said, “we have agreed to a process, and the timeline for that process is just about over.”
Later he said, “I believe the Speaker is close to the end of his rope…..I’m comfortable that he’ll make the decision relatively soon.”
He expects a decision to be made before the 4th of July.
We will see.

By the way, it is absolutely worth seeing in IMAX 3D...that may have been the best part of the movie. Ridley Scott did a great job integrating 3D with the story. Nothing was done simply to demonstrate depth.
Hey CBD, we don't have an IMAX theater where I live but would you recommend seeing it in 3D anyway? My father in law and I are going to see this tomorrow (have been waiting for months) and I wasn't sure if this one would be worth the extra money for 3D because a lot of the ones I've seen lately weren't.

I had that whole movie memorized from back to front back when I was a little girl. I kind of think Lizzy Warren modeled her native american ancestry on george Carlin's character in that movie.

On Friday, June 8th, those wishing to attend the event must purchase a copy of the First LadyÂ’s book at the location and leave it at the store, according to the employee. At the same time, customers must also submit their social security number and show an official photo ID (driverÂ’s license, passport) to a Secret Service agent, and they will be issued a wristband to the First LadyÂ’s event on June 12.( Emphasis added)The liberal media, particularly Obama-boosting cable network MSNBC has done its best to attack voter ID laws as discriminatory at best and racist at worst.

President Barack Obama on Friday piled pressure on Congress to approve his stalled jobs plan and blamed "headwinds" from Europe's debt crisis for sluggish growth.
"Given the signs of weakness in the world economy," he told reporters in the White House briefing room, "it's critical that we take the actions we can to strengthen" the weak American economy.
If lawmakers had approved his jobs blueprint in full last year, "we'd be on track to have a million more Americans working this year, the unemployment rate would be lower, our economy would be stronger," said Obama. "Of course, Congress refused."

Well if you aren't a slack armed pussy then longbow all the way. But if you are one of those soft hands type that can't draw a bow, first, buy a bunch of doilies for your house, then get a crossbow.

That was possibly her best film, at least among the comedies. More often than not, she outshined her male co-leads, and in "Bringing Up Baby," she was literally and figuratively running circles around Cary Grant.

I had assumed you'd put up 1 post at least, on the top, explaining the day of silence and what it's about.
Just putting nothing there makes it look like you're on a bender or something. Aren't you trying to raise awareness about something? I don't think going on strike until people pay attention to "you know what" is liable to work.

Yup a weapon that could make a spindly armed wimp into a knight killer; Threatened to upset the balance of power of the day. It is still an inferior weapon to a longbow, provided you are man enough to pull one.

How many squirrels ago was it that the JEF's "brilliant, new and improved, sure-to-win" strategy was to run against a do-nothing Congress? I think it was before they trotted out their "War on Women" shit.
It's not that they think we are so stupid we don't notice, it's that they are so stupid that they've forgotten they already tried that and it didn't work back then either.
But really, look at this guy, he thinks America is still hankering for "would've, should've, could've" and still wants to hear promised without results.
I mean, for fuck sakes: Let the minions trot out "But, but!! The House hasn't passed Obama's jobs bill!!" And we'll nuke your stupid ass (like we did the last time) with: "Just how many jobs bills has the Democrat controlled Senate passed? How many budgets? Who, exactly, is not doing their job? Oh, and the House has passed a jobs bill--it died in the Senate. We called it Keystone. You called it another chance to grandstand for the environmental lobbyists."

Well technically she is right. Only the Pope can speak for the church. The assumption though is that if he didn't like what the Bishops were saying he would correct them. In fact, they flew to talk with him before they started this little debacle.

President Obama: "The truth of the matter is that, as I said, we created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone."
Me: WTF?
"The private sector is doing fine. Where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government. Oftentimes cuts initiated by, you know, Governors or mayors who are not getting the kind of help that they have in the past from the federal government and who don't have the same kind of flexibility as the federal government in dealing with fewer revenues coming in. "
Me: Oh so the reason why state and local govts are struggling is because Republicans are standing in the way of Federal assistance? State and local govts massive debt has nothing to do with their spending?

I don't think that Bill Clinton wants to campaign for Barky....
So he's doing this thing with 'saying stuff they don't want to hear'...so that they won't ask him to do it any more.
He's just having some fun.....playing the "crazy old codger" routine.
Then saying...."Ooops. Sorry.".....after he's lobbed his shots.

The tipping point and preference cascade may come when Barky goes so far outside of reality that the media just can't ignore it anymore for fear of losing all semblance credibility. At that point, the life boat won't be big enough for both Obama and Karl Marx so it could get ugly. In a funny way.

And he's spent over a Trillion dollars....to create those jobs.
Let me do the math on that:
That comes to around $5.4 million for each job?
Did I do that right?

True, but you don't hit as hard with a bare hand. Same is true in Football.
Less protection, less injuries when hitting someone. Assuming of course, you could care less about your own body. Still, I would imagine the pain response would slow you down.

My old calculator only goes up to 999 billion.
I doubt that they are deducting the jobs that died, or didn't last, from that "4.3 million jobs" figure.
And it needs to be pointed out that....creating more government jobs is like throwing gasoline on a fire.
Because....govt jobs are revenue negative jobs.
It takes more revenue to keep them going....they don't generate any new revenue....and the amount of taxes withheld, is just recycling a little bit of the revenue that was already spent.
Then, you add in the benefits and pension....and it's even further into negative territory.

speaking of commencement speeches, I don't know if this went national but a local English teacher, I think, from the Wellesley, MA high school gave a speech last week telling the graduates how un-special they were.
It was awesome.

What the Solyndra debacle reveals about Obama's economic strategy
By A. Barton Hinkle, Reason.com, September 9, 2011
..."Then there is the notion that government action proceeds from a place of virtue because politicians are not motivated by self-interest. Instead, like shepherds tending the flock, they seek only to protect the sheep (stupid and helpless creatures that they are) from the wolves at the edge of the clearing. It is a flattering conceit, and has no more to do with reality than an LSD trip.
It is not disinterested altruism that makes Obama think he can reshape the energy sector for the better, or conjure up jobs where employers do not want them. Such beliefs stem from unbridled hubris. And the result of hubris can be summed up in one word: Solyndra."

"Now this morning, the President had a press conference. I donÂ’t know if you heard it, but he called a press conference and pulled people in and said a number of things, and one of the most interesting things he said was this: he said the private sector is doing fine. He said the private sector is doing fine. Is he really that out of touch? I think heÂ’s defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people. Has there ever been an American president who is so far from reality as to believe in an America where 23 million Americans are out of work, or stopped looking for work, or can only find part-time jobs and need full-time jobs, where the economy grew in the first quarter of the year at only 1.9 percent, where the median income in America has dropped by 10% over the last four years, where there have been record number of home foreclosures, for the President of the United States to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine is going to go down in history. ItÂ’s an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstanding by a President who is out of touch, and weÂ’re going to take back this country and get America working again."

David McCullough Jr., the straight-talking English teacher at the affluent Massachusetts Wellesley High School, told graduating seniors that they are NOT special.
"You've been feted and fawned over and called sweetie pie. ... But do not get the idea you're anything special. Because you're not. You are not special. You are not exceptional. Think about this: even if you're one in a million, on a planet of 6.8 billion that means there are nearly 7,000 people just like you."

Isn't it selfish of the 14th and 15th place runners to pull a stunt that takes the focus off the 1st place runner? What did the 1st place runner do wrong? I mean an athletic competition is not life. In real life, helping someone is laudable and worthy but this is race. There is going to be a 1st place and a last place. If I were the last place runner, I'd be insulted that the 14th place runner is patronizing me.

Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering pattle.
I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth born companion
An' fellow mortal!
I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
'S a sma' request;
I'll get a blessin wi' the lave,
An' never miss't.
Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
It's silly wa's the win's are strewin!
An' naething, now, to big a new ane,
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's win's ensuin,
Baith snell an' keen!
Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste,
An' weary winter comin fast,
An' cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro' thy cell.
That wee bit heap o' leaves an' stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou's turned out, for a' thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter's sleety dribble,
An' cranreuch cauld.
But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
Still thou are blest, compared wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e'e,
On prospects drear!
An' forward, tho' I canna see,
I guess an' fear!
Note to his SCOAMFy ness.

Truly a good example of the absolute stupidity of intellectuals. They honestly believe that just having and voicing an idea is good enough to actually accomplish something. The concept that the people that actually matter in the world actually have to do real world things in order to accomplish anything totally eludes them. In his very limited world he has done all their is to be done, talk about the problem.

Next rung lower supervisor is upset as Hell and starts ranting about how its the fault of our Capitalist system and how the County is Republican top-to-bottom, etc.

At age 49, Junior Alexander Guy got his first cell phone last month. The calls started immediately.
Strangers called at all hours. Some were insulting. Others angry. Sometimes, they threatened him.
“You murderer!”
“You deserve to die!”
By Day 2 he figured out what was going on: T-Mobile had given him the phone number formerly used by George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in FebruaryÂ…
He has moved out of his home and relocated his mother, who had lived with him, to a different location, he said.
“I was not only afraid for my life, I was afraid for my mother’s,” he said.

I'm reading some quotes over at IMDB and laughing myself silly.
[Admiral Benson comes into the briefing room in riding pants]
Admiral Benson: Be seated! Ah... Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants, well they started running short on materials right before they got to the knees so don't give me any shit. Ah. I look out there on all you wonderful guys and I say to myself "What I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger... and a woman". You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life.
