I don't know what all those are -- what is that sphere in the upper left? Also, what is that blue and yellow thing next to Da Terminator? Also -- do you know what is cool about that pic? It's mostly black and white. I've wanted to do that -- not with photoshop, mind you, but with a judicious choice of props -- all of which were in black, white, or various shades of grey.

No, put it here. I'd be more than happy to see a gun control/pro gun argument thread deteriorate into a condolences thread instead of the other way around for a change.

According to at least one bystander, it was supposed to be a particularly safe area. If you need to go to that sort of extreme in the safe areas, you're basically suggesting that we need to do this everywhere. We do not need to do this everywhere. It's a statistical thing -- you take a chance leaving your home, going to school, going to work, heck, you take a chance breathing. Heck, you take a chance living as a hermit in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Nothing is safe, and we can't protect against every possible contingency. It's just not financially feasible. One thing we can do is educate. It would have been nice if there was a plan, and if the teachers knew what to do besides lock their doors and cower, although I'm not sure what else they could have done. In terms of snapping, this will always happen. I heard a psychologist on the radio discuss how the best thing we can do for nutjobs like this is to ignore them, because they do it for the attention. But in a free society with such an aggressive journalist force, that will never happen. I'm not talking sensationalization -- this sort of story is self-sensationalizing. Reporting this story in the most understated matter will still have a sensationalizing effect. It's unavoidable. So the best thing we can do is tut-tut over the losses, start with the man in the mirror and try to lead a normal healthy life both physically and mentally, do your best not to be that guy, and move on, because otherwise the terrorists win.

Seriously.

no, teh purp rules

I probably should have punctuated it thusly:

A fucking outstanding megamix made up entirely of Kraftwerk samples (free download) (Knucks -- it's over 23 minutes long, so it's crap-worthy) EDIT: And now the Depeche Mode one (I recommend listening to this one first, actually).

Yes, I know, but phone-blat is so much more phun to say.

Pfff.

We lost the ability to post under Infinite Dark. And I did delete mah cookies from head-case, and didn't find any to delete under ipscdn.com.

What? There was only one season of Dresden Files? I was just getting into the chemistry between Dresden and Murph. And there's only 2.5 seasons of Torchwood? Just finished season two, going to switch over to another season of the doctor (yay! Kylie Minogue!), then will go back and finish Torchwood.

http://meetattheairport.com/ So the concept is, you are seated next to the person next to you for longer than some dates, might as well make it a date. You get a movie, food, drink...who knows where it will lead? Well, alright, you know exactly where it will lead, but...you get my meaning. Oh, and I just heard this on a news story on mainstream radio.

If the kid isn't spoiled by used to SSD computer yet, then she'll be fine. Besides, it's hers, she'll be happy just to have one of her own. For the record -- I'm not an SSD guy, and I kind of don't want to become one, because they don't last as long as regular hard drives. The technology for all those reads and writes aren't completely worked out yet.

Agreed. That's terrible, Jacob. Chris -- I hope your machine is up to the task. Samich -- congrats! Stretch -- Please tell me one of those names is not Wolfram, Lovecraft, nor Hart...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the other good one.

It's got nothing to do with the motor -- it has to emulate human wrist movement, how good does it need to be? -- but rather the proximity to the watch and lack of shielding. I think. Feel free to obtain second opinions.

Aye, I missed you. That one in the lower left is masterful -- two faces instead of one. I love you, Tardar Sauce cat.

WTF, PA?

I tried to correct Amazon on the picture associated with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FPZQQU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER'>the deluxe edition of the first Emerson, Lake & Palmer album, but they sent me back a message last night that they stand by their incorrectness.

Oh my, you find the craziest shit sometimes.

No, city is big, not lawyer is big.
