i am going to have to move so much crap out of my yahoo when microsoft takes over. i’ll probably just delete everything and let it lay fallow like i do with my a hotmail account.
i only signed up for hotmail to stake the claim to my other moniker.
oh well, whatever.
i’m drinkin homemade wine outta south philly and thinking about how much i hate nVidia — it would see that they cannot make a product that simply works. every time i get stuck using one of their products there are issues. my ati cards never give me grief like this.
i put one of their cards in my desktop and windows won’t even see it, their tech support informs me that they cannot help me and to return the product. my laptop comes with an nvidia graphics and it can’t change resolution of the external monitor.
i dunno, seems to me that if you’re in the biz as long as they have been, i’d expect better, ya know?
eh — fuck’em
classified for your edification, i present to you the bristol stool chart, via wikipedia
thanks josh!
apparently boaters on florida’s swanee river are under attack, well having very bad encounters with gulf sturgeons leaping out of the water.
the fish apparently jump out of the water and either hit people speeding by, cause them to wreck in evasive maneuvers or get in their boat and hurt.
sounds fishy you say? well consider that sturgeon “can reach eight feet in length and boast sharp, bony plates that can cut flesh like knives.”
check out the size of these things:
Major Bruce Hamlin, regional commander for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) North Central Region, told the local NewsHerald.com: “The documented strikes for 2006 resulted in the worst year on record, with eight people directly hit by sturgeon and two injured when they swerved to avoid a jumping fish and hit a bridge piling.
you see? that’s why you never go in to the water!
so apparently there is a scheme to place small windmills in the median along the new jersey turnpike to generate electricity from the winds of passing cars. sounds like a swell idea only as anyone who’s ever had to drive the dreaded turnpike can tell you — cars don’t normally drive fast enough to generate a wind.
“I am pretty excited about integrating a subway or light-rail train right where the barrier is,” designer Mark Oberholzer told architecture magazine Metropolis.
“I love the idea of siphoning off electricity generated by private transportation to run public transportation.”
The scheme would also have the benefit of generating more power at peak commuter times, which roughly coincide with peak power requirements.
clearly these guys have never had to drive into new york from points south, because it may well have occured to them the irony that at peak commuter times, the wind generated by autos is most likely its most feeble.
and from the “how to get paid to study the obvious” department, i bring to your attention this study reported in the telegraph that children learn to lie much earlier than had been believed.
believed by whom? i ask you — clearly not someone with a lot of experience with babies
Infants quickly learnt that using tactics such as fake crying and pretend laughing could win them attention. By eight months, more difficult deceptions became apparent, such as concealing forbidden activities or trying to distract parents’ attention.
really? you don’t say! who knew!
i’ll tell you who: any idiot who has cared for a small child for more than five minutes, that’s who!
everyone with kids knows that babies do those things and why they do them — my son’s only 18 months and he’s long known how to hide food he doesn’t like, and his faker cry is quite convincing — it’s NORMAL BEHAVIOR.
what i find quite stupid is that
where do they find these people?
