i share your concern.
i've used the Usenet archives for doing research on programming topics, for years and years. and now Google's gone and hidden-away all that information - decades of programmers discussing programming.
f-ers.
calling him the Messiah, then, sets them up for calling him the anti-Christ, now.
a lot of the scenes felt like they were written for the movie, but none so much as the scene with the stripped-down Harry taking that swim in the forest. he'll be 20-something by the time that movie gets made, and my wife already thinks he's a hottie. oy.
#73 : FF2.0.latest. Windows.
it either locks up completely or crashes. sometimes if it locks and i kill it, then try to restart, i'll get a msg that FF is still running and that i can't start a new instance until the old one goes away.
#75 : yeah, i think it's something in the right sidebar. sometimes i'll get a partial page except for something over there before the trouble starts.
wave to my hometown when you pass through Hudson Falls (just north of the Fort Edward station)
Cleek, everything a liberal says will be taken out of context.
oh, i know. it just seems unfortunate to give them something that's so easy to pull out.
the wingnutosphere is going to absolutely ape-sh!t on him for this single line: "They�re not doing a magnificent job. "
they'll take that one line, post it on their blogs as a "perfect example of how the Dhimmocraps hate America". they'll link to the full post, of course. but it won't matter: they've already given their readers an angle from which to approach the rest of the piece.
sloppy.
in context, it's fine. but he;s not going to get the benefit of full context from his critics.
a little barrying case ?
no, dummy, a carrying case.
Several years ago, I came to the conclusion that I will never again live in an area where the 24-hour, breakfast-all-day diner is a foreign concept.
we moved down to Raleigh, NC, from upstate NY. about the only thing we can find open late night are burger shops (CharGrill and CookOut) and Waffle Houses. but what we really want, at 2:30am, saturday is a big gravy-soaked open-faced turkey sammich. but, there's no place to get that down here. it's sad.
on the other hand, the eastern NC BBQ is damned good. now if someone would just bring down some Kimmelwick rolls, i could put that vinegar and pepper pork on one and recreate the yummy "Saratoga Style" BBQ you can get at PJ's, outside of Saratoga NY.
the famous garbage plate at Nick Tahou's,
oh man... droooool.
my wife and i went back to Roch to visit friends, two years ago. after hitting all our favorite diners (Nicks, Highland Diner, Gitsis, McGregors, Doc Hua) we bought a freezer pack of Zweigle's red and white hots (packed in a little barrying case with dry ice, for air travel). i just thawed a package last weekend. even after two years in the freezer, they were as good as new.
back to NE, i recommend Billy's Chowder House in Wells Beach, ME.
s an Italian restaraunt chain called Biagi's has a sausage, gemelli and green peas dish that's excellent. it's also pretty easy to mimic:
1/2 cup chopped onion
dash of rosemary
cup of Newman's marniara
cup of Newman's vodka sauce
3 mild italian sausages, de-cased (turkey sausage works fine)
1/2 cup frozen baby green peas
1/2 box of gemelli
crumble sausage. cook it over medium heat with onions and rosemary in a bit of olive oil until sausage is cooked-through. add sauces and peas. simmer on low. cook the gemelli. add cooked, drained gemelli to the sauce (or vice versa - whichever pot is bigger, i guess). toss. serve.
you can adjust the amount of sauce, and the vodka/marinara ratio, to taste. i like a little less vodka sauce; my wife likes a little more.
$1750/mo "eating out" is like $60/day. if you don't cook anything yourself, and only eat at fancy Manhattan bistros, that's probably pretty easy to do. but damn, just think of the kind of cash you'd save if you hit Taco Bell instead of the Four Seasons once or twice a week !
i used to have a wide-open domain on my business site, where *everything*@mydomain.com was funneled to a single account. that lasted for quite a while until spammers discovered my domain, and i started getting hundreds of spams every day. so now i funnel everything to /dev/null except for a handful of adresses that i explicity forward to my own account.
i can still create a new address for a particular business, if i want to play that game. but at this point, if i get a message from "retailer_spam@mydomain.com" there's no way to know if the online store sold that address, or if a spammer just auto-generated the address and got lucky.
i still get a few dozen spams every day, even with three layers of filtering software. luckily, i get a kick out of the Dadaist word-salad subjects spammers are using these days. my wife and i like to see who can get the funniest subject.
hillarious. that reminded me of this song by Davinci's Notebook.
i was 10 in 1980. and IIRC, I really liked AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Blondie, Tom Petty, Tommy TuTone, Greg Kihn, etc..
Real businesses:
there's a car wash on NC64 (outside of Siler City, IIRC) called "The Wet Spot".
scientists just refuse to admit they don't believe
make that "...scientists just refuse to admit they really believe..."
a friend of mine knows a very unpleasant man named Richard Peter Johnson
there's an Air Force base in eastern NC called Seymour Johnson. it's on the way to Morehead City.
my wife and I have a song:
Get more head in Morehead City
See more johnson, too
sing it like an old-time country singer.
here's the sign that prompts our singing.
What's next? Brin, like Card, will turn out to be a Dubya supporter?
i take it you didn't hear Vonnegut's interview on NPR's Mornign Edition this week (audio is probably available) ?
he's an ID proponent who's convinced that scientists just refuse to admit they don't believe (like everybody else knows) that humans are just too complex to have happened randomly.
