[2004-02-05 16:04:00] - Really? How could their brilliant business model of charging several dollars more than their competitors for CDs have failed them?? Everything I know about economics is wrong! - pierce
[2004-02-05 16:03:00] - Adrian will disagree about the belief in god being rational part, or at least he should -Paul
[2004-02-05 15:58:00] - aww tower records is filing for chapter 11? - aaron
[2004-02-05 15:37:00] - aaron: you aren't going to find any disagreement from this message board. go look for a bizarro-adrian messageboard ~a
[2004-02-05 15:17:00] - For some reason, to me, belief in god seems completely rational, but belief in witches and demons trying to trick people seems silly.... I don't know why but it does - aaron
[2004-02-05 15:16:00] - I remember the demon thing from the rave episode, where some girl's grandmother had to stop her granddaughter from going to a rave... or something - aaron
[2004-02-05 15:05:00] - i've gotten the impression from him that he really believes that witchcraft and "magic" exist, as well as demons and other such nonsense. - mig
[2004-02-05 14:47:00] - I thought the original was funnier. Does Jack Chick really think witches can cast spells on their parents? - aaron
[2004-02-05 13:55:00] - At least of those over the top goths who are stupid like that. -- Xpovos
[2004-02-05 13:55:00] - Since mocking Jack Chick is too simple to have any real fun to it after a while, I think the response is, yes. -- Xpovos
[2004-02-05 13:37:00] - Ah, it makes a lot more sense now. I thought it was probably stolen from something else. So it's a mockery of Jack Chick? Is it still a mockery of goths too?
-Paul[2004-02-05 12:17:00] - i like you messageboard, oh yes i dooooo... i like you messageboard, oh it is truuueeeee
[2004-02-05 12:16:00] - it also says "original tract by Jack Chick" (with a link) at the top of the page i linked to
- travis[2004-02-05 12:03:00] - oh, hah. they stole the drawings, that's why the style looked the same. http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp ~a
[2004-02-05 12:02:00] - it's probably jack chick. it's the exact same drawing style and he had a track about that topic (people killing themselves because of dnd) ~a
[2004-02-05 11:03:00] - I'm so confused. Who are they making fun of? -Paul

[2004-02-05 09:40:00] - "In Fairfax County, for example, only 24 percent of residents count themselves as native Virginians, according to census figures." See? That why I don't fit in.
-Paul[2004-02-05 09:22:00] - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,110458,00.html Anybody else see a number of things wrong with this? -Paul
[2004-02-05 09:22:00] - kris: Heh, I remember doing the same thing as a kid. I used to think ALL TVs recorded what you watched so I made sure I changed the channel whenever something I didn't like came on, even if I wasn't watching the TV
. -Paul[2004-02-05 00:52:00] - mig: gosh, to be a nielsen family... i always wanted to be one when i was little. (why? dunno) and i used to worry that we might be one and not know it so i wouldn't want to stay on a show i didn't REALLY like for very long -kris
[2004-02-04 21:55:00] - xpovos: you are correct about nielsen, my family used it for a while. i don't remember why we stopped using it though. - mig
[2004-02-04 19:56:00] - assurances that it is private, and will remain so. I'm highly skeptical, and dislike the concept of putting that much information control into their network. Does it just record TV data, or DVD data too? Can we be sure? Would they tell us? -- Xpovos
[2004-02-04 19:55:00] - I have no real qualm with statistical gathering of TV data either, never complained against the Nielson box because Nielson boxes are placed randomly and the viewers are compensated for the invasion. It's also optional. Correct me if I'm wrong, I may be on one or all points. TiVo uses that feature automatically, and we only have their -- Xpovos

[2004-02-04 16:25:00] - Did you get it all done in time? -Paul
[2004-02-04 16:21:00] - Hehe... a tight project deadline... the team originally responsible for the project did a bad job, so it was our job to try and rescue it (with 4 days left until the deadline.... ) - aaron
[2004-02-04 15:40:00] - aaron: Why were you at work until 12:45 am? -Paul
[2004-02-04 15:36:00] - janet jackson's nipple is safe for everybody - aaron
[2004-02-04 15:35:00] - a: i was at work until 12:45 am last night, it was a new record. therefore i made a frustrated growling sound. - aaron
[2004-02-04 15:01:00] - pierce: the former was intentional, the latter was not. and your request was granted although it didn't seem to change anything. ~a

[2004-02-04 13:35:00] - hmm, that winky face was just supposed to be a close paren... - pierce
[2004-02-04 13:34:00] - also, you weirdly combine xhtml behavior (singleton tags like br are presented as <br/>
with non-xhtml behavior (attributes not surrounded by quotes). is that intentional? - pierce[2004-02-04 13:33:00] - incidentally, adrian, it'd be convenient if you added "onload='document.forms[0].post.focus = true;'" to the BODY tag for the message board. that way I could start typing as soon as I got to the page, without clicking. - pierce
[2004-02-04 13:32:00] - maybe he clicked on one of the janet jackson links without realizing it was NSFW. - pierce
[2004-02-04 12:37:00] - aaron: i am at work grr? ~a
[2004-02-04 11:07:00] - to me, the nielson aspect of tivo is a small price to pay for the service. i would like there to be the option to remove it but it doesn't bother me enough to matter (in fact, in theory I like it because it gets more accurate ratings). someone will come along with a more private tivo if the market's there - vinnie
[2004-02-04 10:09:00] - aw-aw-aw-aw.... man that last paragraph is so depressing because it's mostly true - aaron
[2004-02-04 08:36:00] - Re: Tivo. And to think the technology intrigued me. They can tell what you watch? That's slightly different from a Neilson box. --Xpovos
[2004-02-04 08:32:00] - http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=582&e=1&u=/nm/20040203/wr_nm/tech_fsecure_dc 2nd to last and last paragraphs. Have fun. -- Xpovos
[2004-02-03 22:57:00] - i am at work! grr... - aaron

[2004-02-03 14:03:00] - Aaron: Basically yes. Some people want to be able to flip through TV without seeing something that offends them. -Paul
[2004-02-03 13:58:00] - It's like the difference between rape and prostitution. CBS and Janet Jackson raped our country's youth so now Comedy Central can't make a legitimate business pimping out South Park and such programming to cable companies? - aaron
[2004-02-03 13:56:00] - The "family package" idea makes sense, but other than that the article really made me annoyed. It seems like the author is infuriated that the FCC can't regulate what broadcasters show to their paying customers?! That's silly - aaron

[2004-01-30 13:18:00] - I thought statutory rape was 18? What is sex under age 18 if it's not rape? I didn't think it was legal - aaron
[2004-01-30 13:12:00] - Or at least as close to consensual sex as it can be considering she was drunk and underage.
-Paul[2004-01-30 13:12:00] - mig: If alcohol was involved than I can easily see a football player doing something this stupid. Without knowing any facts about the case, my guess is that he did have consensual sex with the underage girl. -Paul
[2004-01-30 12:32:00] - i find it really hard to believe that vick was really this stupid. well if he is guilty of what he's being accused of then good riddance to him then. - mig

[2004-01-29 13:33:00] - I think it's hilarious the lengths they go to to ignore the fact that more males die from suicide than girls. They mention every other fact BUT that one, trying to make it seem like suicide is only a problem for women. -Paul

[2004-01-29 12:13:00] - The problem with DDT was not the harm it did to humans (negliglbe) but the harm it did to smaller wildlife, in particular birds. Banning the use of DDT was a good thing in the U.S. Using it, at least temporarily in Africa could also be a good thing. --Xpovos

[2004-01-28 13:41:00] - More specifically, the number of times you'll not "click" with a friend of a friend, coupled with the increased difficulty of getting to know the "real" person when it's an online environment, will prove too discouraging for most users. - pierce

[2004-01-22 09:32:00] - It's against the airline's policies to share passenger information.... but it's not against the government's policies to receive information.... so I don't think it makes sense to be against the government in this case - aaron
[2004-01-22 09:31:00] - Well the sharing was controversial because it was against the airline's privacy policy - aaron
[2004-01-22 09:28:00] - I thought you were saying that the sharing was controversial. -Paul
[2004-01-21 17:47:00] - but the government did nothing wrong (in this specific case). ~a
[2004-01-21 17:44:00] - i'd rather they be suing the government rather than the airlines. - mig
[2004-01-21 17:42:00] - i think the lawsuit is controversial because, like paul said, most people don't mind giving their freedoms to the government. i personally don't like the idea of anybody giving my information to anybody, so i'm all for this lawsuit. ~a
[2004-01-21 17:41:00] - On the day some Republican is being led to the guillotine on some trumped-up charge of abetting terrorists, he'll probably be mumbling, "Thank God for George Bush. Al Gore would have shot my dog as well."
[2004-01-21 17:40:00] - well i think there might be some confusion here. are we saying that the sharing is controversial or are we saying that the lawsuit is controversial? ~a

-Paul[2004-01-21 11:03:00] - hahaha, I read through that stratego argument again. that may be the only time I could not agree with even a little bit of paul's opinion. i wasn't the one who exhumed that quote though - vinnie

[2004-01-20 16:00:00] - i think the pro-choice thing refers to the fact that you can choose to see the Pacers as stable or unstable. or he could be referring to a women's right to abort a fetus in which case he's just weird - vinnie

[2004-01-16 13:16:00] - Vinnie: Well, it wouldn't be a perfect fit, but I think it would be a closer fit. There certainly are things about me that fit in better in NOVA but I think there are more things about me that would fit in over in Ohio. -Paul
[2004-01-16 13:14:00] - trix are for kids? - pierce
[2004-01-16 12:29:00] - that's very funny. silly dewey. ~a
[2004-01-16 12:11:00] - vinnie: you might want to fix a comment in your journal. I was trying to indicate some things people could do to abuse tags, and why dewey stops them, but I guess I found a method that he doesn't stop. turn the <font style="font-size: 80in"> into a regular tag, if you can. thanks - pierce
[2004-01-16 12:09:00] - true but might you not have the same problems in Ohio? I mean, I'm stereotyping here but they don't seem to type to entertain conversations about Babylon 5, for example. ideally, diversity should lead to more people you can harmonize with, but I realize that doesn't happen that often in the real world - vinnie
[2004-01-16 12:03:00] - It's not about diversity as much as it's about harmony. Diversity is good and all, but I don't think a group of people who are all polar opposites make very good friends. -Paul
[2004-01-16 12:02:00] - Adrian gets mad when we discuss the topic during bowling and it's really nobody's fault. We enjoy talking about sports and he doesn't know what we're talking about so he would prefer discussion about other things. -Paul
[2004-01-16 12:01:00] - Hell, this is something can arises oftentimes in our own group. Adrian and Aaron are fairly strongly anti-sports and that sometimes makes it hard to hang out with them even if we're not actively watching sports. -Paul
[2004-01-16 12:01:00] - Which is not how I want to be among friends. -Paul
[2004-01-16 12:00:00] - This actually came up twice in the past month. One woman was talking about how great the metro was and then I had to comment on how it loses huge amounts of money every year (quickly ended that conversation) and another time a group of people were discussing some liberals topics and I forced myself to hold my tongue. -Paul
[2004-01-16 11:58:00] - Part of it could be how political I am and politics is a fairly polarizing issue. If somebody starts talking about how evil it is that people wear fur coats or something then I'm usually faced with the choice of either censoring myself or speaking and likely driving them away. -Paul
[2004-01-16 11:53:00] - Vinnie: Yeah, it's more like being able to form a connection to people. I think (although I have no data to support this) that it would be a lot easier to make friends and acquaintances when surrounded by people who share common interests. -Paul
[2004-01-16 11:30:00] - so it's more a matter of ease of finding people? ok I'm finally starting to get your logic there - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:29:00] - Yeah, I think friends is a better analogy. I think it would be easier for me to find people that I share common interests with in a place like Ohio than in NOVA. -Paul
[2004-01-16 11:28:00] - Vinnie: To be honest, I have no problem with the restaurants here because I pretty much eat anything that's edible. My concern was more with the people and activities available I think. -Paul
[2004-01-16 11:26:00] - a better analogy might be friends. if I can maintain like 15 or so good friends and maybe 50 ok ones, I can't sustain anymore and don't care what the rest of the people are like - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:25:00] - 10 is just a number, btw. I would guess for me the actual number is closer to 25. the point remains the same though, that past a certain low number I don't care what the other restaurants are like - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:21:00] - yay, finally you're seeing my point. my answer is actually no. diversity in these kinds of things is a good thing I think. 10 restaurants that serve stuff I like basically ensures I won't get bored for the rest of my life. I like having stuff I might not especially like just to try new things - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:10:00] - Vinnie: But wouldn't it be even better if there existed a place where there were 20 restaurants you liked instead of 10? -Paul
[2004-01-16 11:06:00] - or scratch that - as long as I can find ten restaurants I like I'm happy - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:05:00] - as long as my ten restaurants don't change, I'm happy - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:04:00] - my point was that I only go to like ten restaurants anyway, so I don't care what the rest of them are like - vinnie
[2004-01-16 11:03:00] - we already knew it was a different place - vinnie
[2004-01-16 10:56:00] - I know, but the point is that it's changing into a place kinda like NOVA. Which means that it's different than NOVA right now. Which is what I was trying to explain earlier. Does it make any more sense now? -Paul
[2004-01-16 10:05:00] - hahaha, they'll be drinking fine wine and doing yoga before you know it, paul! bwahahaha! - pierce
[2004-01-16 09:44:00] - b-but the article is about ohio changing! - vinnie
