And you know, typically I don't mind them and will even click on ones that interest me. By default I run noscript and flashblock, which usually keeps things from getting too annoying. Some ad managed to turn my sound on despite this, a while back, and I dropped adblock on my browser because of it. But this is a "nuclear" option that I prefer not to use if I can avoid it. There have been a couple of sites where I support the ads. Google's text-only ads have always been unobtrusive, and most likely to get a response from me. Penny Arcade only runs ads for products they like. I seem to recall Tycho even posting an apology to his readers for one of the ads they'd allowed to run, a while back. They ran a kickstarter campaign to remove the ads from their site, and it did pretty well,. but I never minded their ads in the first place. Slashdot mostly ever ran ads for Thinkgeek, but I bought a couple things through them. I'd go look at the ones on Penny Arcade from time to time, but up until recently I ran Linux and MacOS and most of the games they advertised wouldn't work on my system. By the way, what's with gaming sites wanting to know your birthday to even look at their site, these days? Asking me my birthday is a good way to get me to click off your site. I won't even bother to lie, I'll just leave. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Yes, and as far as I know, every time it's gone to court in a state where it's illegal, the court has found that it's legal to video police operating in a public area. Whether you want to tie up years of your life to prove a point is another question, but usually these have a civil rights violation lawsuit tagged on to them, which could potentially yield a judgment of millions of dollars.

Court case after court case has found that you can. The Obama administration recently filed a brief with the Supreme Court supporting peoples' right to film police officers in public places. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Great news, thanks! So far these guys are seeming to be the most consistently praised in the area. I think I'll see what I can do about spending a day hanging around there to get a feel. Is this kosher in the skydiving community to hang around a DZ and ask questions? I hope so, that's pretty much all I do. Heh heh heh.

No no no, I'm just saying that if you had some spare method of recording things for youtube, you could have got 15 million hits, that's all. You know how many more hits that is than I have? Approximately 15 million. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Yugh, you know that's 15 million hit material for youtube, right? I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

(sports) Criteria for "Blacked Out in Your Area"??

You could try bitching at Direct TV or the NHL but probably both of them will ignore you. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? -
That's just a corollary of the rule that it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end. Most drivers really aren't so good at it, here in the USA. There's no real training required to get a license, and just a cursory test to see how you drive. On top of that they pile increasing distractions and vehicles that never get maintenance. I see some stupid shit on the road just about every day. I've always kind of felt that radar detectors breed some complacency and a false sense of security. If you're paying enough attention to be driving at the speed you're driving, you'll probably see the cop before he sees you anyway. When you're part of the herd, you're much less likely to stand out than when the streets are empty -- I drove back up from water training after midnight through Denver and counted no less than 8 cops on the road. I was already pretty sure I didn't want to be speeding in Denver after midnight. And any other time of day the traffic on the interstate is usually under the posted speed limit anyway. Of course, I did a lot of marathon driving back when I was younger. My job required me to drive around the back roads of Alabama a lot, with the occasional trip to Atlanta or Mississippi. If you're well over the speed limit on a marathon drive, you're going to get a ticket sooner or later. I kept a CB radio in the car to listen for warnings from truckers, learned to watch what the locals were doing (People who live there know all the tricks) and never used a radar detector. In 20 years of driving, I've had a few tickets, but not enough to count on one hand. Each one came either from not paying attention or learning an important lesson (IE: Stick to the speed limit after midnight.) I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

Nifty. I found a picture of the illusion here and will have to try it with my cat. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=357k8qb&s=4 The illusion is actually pretty freaky! I could see how a cat would go for that if they can see it. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Google sends Street View car into Fukushima dead zone

Pff. It's only a little radiation! I've got a bag of stray neutrons under my desk! Whenever one comes by I collect it and add it to the bag! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? -
Pff! That didn't stop my hang gliding group in North Carolina! They had a rig they built out of a motorcycle wheel and a couple thousand feet of steel cable. They'd find a runway somewhere, mount the glider up on the rig, and haul the rig down the runway, flying the glider like a kite in the process! Once they got to altitude, they could catch a thermal and fly off -- my instructor made it 40 miles to the coast one day and landed at the Wilmington International Airport! I guess technically he wasn't supposed to do that, but it's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Heh heh heh. A couple guys over at the airport fly powered paragliders around. That looks fairly neat, too. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Bwahaha! Are you thinking what I'm thinking? The big rig they put me on when I started was a 300. I'm down to a 230 now, which is just about 1:1 for my exit weight. I've lost a fair bit of weight since July! But I was thinking, hmm, I could grab that 300 sometime in the summer, do a high pull at 11000 feet and see how long it takes to get down. That might be fun! Or... it might be boring. Heh heh. It kind of sounds like what you really want is a paraglider. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

Depends on how you do it. Most of the pepper beers leave the pepper in the bottle. They get way too hot that way. Left Hand's "Fade to Black" last year was a smoked chili porter, with just a hint of pepper. It was never overly spicy. It was fantastic. I always wanted just a little more chili in it. It's the first time I'd had a chili beer that didn't suck, and it proved to me that it can be done. I sometimes do a jalepino martini, which is very much like a regular martini except that you replace the olive with a pickled jalepino slice. That works pretty well, too. Capsaicin is soluable in alcohol, so it gets REALLY hot toward the bottom of the glass. It's best to down those last couple of sips quickly! Or fish the pepper out and eat it, but where's the fun in that? I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

They look like harmless koalas, but with HUGE FANGS! They drop out of the trees onto their unsuspecting prey. I watched my first boss dying of lung cancer. Ugly. He was a huge bear of a man, and he just shriveled in his last few months. The president of that company died of lung cancer a couple years later. Both of them were in their early 50s. They both smoked, a lot -- it was the first and last company I worked for where smoking was allowed in the office. I'm not sure if it was just the smoking that did them in. It was a print shop and they were working with some pretty toxic shit in the back. I'm sure the fumes from the lead plates they used to burn didn't help matters, either. If I had my choice if ways to go, I'd prefer the drop bear. At least that's fairly quick. Pretty significantly less gruesome, too. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

I caught the end of an episode of Tosh.o a while back where Daniel had been planning to send out random MMS messages of a photo of some guy in a bubble bath, him standing outside it in a towel, and the message "... and you makes three!" Apparently the first text he sent out got the reply "Asshole! You sent this to my 9 year old daughter!" Whoopsie! I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

You might like very cold Horin Geikkan Sake. I've never been a huge fan of vodka, but this stuff is pretty nice. The colder the better. It tastes more like a dry white wine than sake. Cheap sake tastes like it was strained through a sock, so most people try it once and give up on it. Generally I kind of prefer my alcohol to taste like something. I kind of like gin and tequila. I tried absinthe for a while but can't drink it straight. It's like taking a bullet made of licorice to the head. Unpleasant. Still, you know what they say, absinthe makes the heart grow fonder...

Sardines, avocado and red wine vinegar is reasonably good. Or at least, not thoroughly disgusting. Yogurt, cayenne pepper, cucumber and dried crumbled mint leaves is pretty good too. Good as a corn chip dip. I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

I log all my stuff into a notebook, which several people have commented on. Most of them seem to like the idea. I keep the cheesy $1.50 log book they gave me at the start of AFF in a pocket of the notebook. Maybe also scan your old log and post it online somewhere!
