If you want to go to Bermuda, stay at The Reefs. You won't be disappointed. I think that's been linked here before. I plan on going there one of these days, but this year we're doing camping in the summer and visiting my girlfriend's family at Christmas. However, looking at the price guide I think I'll wait till the Canadian dollar reaches par. Even I know what crossing the Rubicon means, and I know fuck all about American history. -m0nty
|
|
Michael Levy has a hunch that the dollar is going to soften instead of reach par. |

the yacht be a home away from home Bad grammar! You're so dumb! Seriously, though, very interesting posts. Keep them coming. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

lwf (#55): Michael Levy has a hunch that the dollar is going to soften instead of reach par. But what does Pouzzner say? |
|
Paul, I'll be going on an african safari. To Tanzania to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks. Should be good fun. Say hi to my ex-girlfriend while you're there! |
|
But what does Pouzzner say? Please don't get him started My crummy little life

I'll be going to the local gas station for some laffy taffy. After that, I plan on a nap. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
I would enjoy going on a safari except (1) I would feel too guilty/lame for being a rich white asshole tourist, and (2) I would hate everyone else around me. Seriously, did anyone else want to kill those people talking in the background of that otherwise awesome video that Anon linked? It was like a convention of idiot Minnesota moms. |
|
Yeah, I really can't do tour groups. Maybe a Crapspedition, but if it's just a bunch of rich white asshole tourists I don't know, I'd rather stay home. I'm amazed no one snapped and told them to stfu. Even I know what crossing the Rubicon means, and I know fuck all about American history. -m0nty

A safari seems cool except for the whole Africa thing. Maybe we can work up a safari to Spain or something. |

"Uh oh...what's the bull gonna do?" Ahhh, talkies sure did kill the silent movie. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

My sister is currently in the middle of a road trip from Cape Town to Blantyre. She would kick all of your arses. |

Say hi to my ex-girlfriend while you're there! Did she run off with a Masai guy? Seriously, did anyone else want to kill those people talking in the background of that otherwise awesome video that Anon linked? It was like a convention of idiot Minnesota moms. I didn't watch the video, but we were afraid of the same thing so made some concessions to have a private guide. |
|
(1) I would feel too guilty/lame for being a rich white asshole tourist, Why not console yourself with the knowledge that you're contributing to the well being of that country which depends greatly on tourist dollars? |

m0nty So when I want to go traveling there I can look up your sister and she'll she me around, right? I mean, after kicking my ass. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in

They might not be relying on that so much if we hadn't already exploited them to become rich enough to go on safari. World of Warcraft is a pie eating contest where the reward is more pie.

Not on a Friday. Fuck this. |

Alternately, maybe if they weren't so greedy and keeping all the good animals over there we wouldn't have to bother. |

Matt Perkins (#70): m0nty So when I want to go traveling there I can look up your sister and she'll she me around, right? I mean, after kicking my ass. If you turn up in Blantyre when she's there, sure, you'll probably find her at the main hospital cutting open a cadaver. |

Fearing the coming arrest and persecution, Khodorkovsky and a number of other Russian oligarchs pooled their resources together to create an astroturf campaign to smear Putin and his allies. They hired PR firms and lawyers and also created and funded a security company who was tasked with an unusual project. The company was to overhaul a massive luxury yacht so that it could be turned into a veritable floating fortress ala L. Ron Hubbard's Sea Org vessels. See, I was wondering why Russia's richest man didn't just mount a private mercenary army to prevent what happened. Thanks for another interesting post. dethstryk: My friend bought some porno mags.

Okay, I won't start blogging my WoW playing since I did that for a while in the thread and kind of lost interest, instead I'll see if I can distil the thoughts and opinions of the game that I've built up over the last few months into some kind of coherent thingy. It's a game of very good and very bad things, so while I'm going to start with a bad thing I do so only because it's fairly core to the WoW (and, I'm guessing, MMO) experience. Anyway, I'm sure you'll all remember ProgressQuest, the MMO/RPG parody where you sat and watched numbers slowly go up on their own. It was almost the perfect summation of the MMO experience apart from one thing, it needed a way to compare your scores to your friends. Because as it turns out the driving force behind the game is vanity. It's about having a nicer lawn than your neighbour. It's about earning more, faster than the next man. It's dick-waving for a monthly fee. The game gives you the ability to inspect other people's equipment, in-game and out, and it's widely used. You'll see people standing about in common areas for just this purpose, basically peacocking themselves in the hope people will come and say out awesome they are. Visit almost any Thottbot quest page and it'll be filled with comments about how such and such a person soloed it or found it easy. There's endless tips and tricks for teaching people how to level up faster, you can even pay gold farmers to powerlevel you or buy pre-levelled characters. And why? Well since the game doesn't change in any significant way after you get to whatever level your first group dungeon is at, the only explanation left is vanity, classism. The funny thing is a lot of players kind of lose direction when they hit the top (level 70) and start a new character, only this time try to get to level 70, and directionlessness, even faster. Not that they should bother of course, the game is filled with rare and hard-to-get items/quests/dungeons/pets and getting to 70 is just the start. I wish I could say I was innocent of all the behaviour listed above, but I've done it all, my only defence is I feel guilty about it occasionally. So for those here who play the game, the next time someone in the game boasts about something reply with "yeah, well I had more fun". Next time: something else!

ProgressQuest did have a way to compare yourself to friends. For a week or so there at my last job we were all running PQ and taunting each other about our standings.

Man, now I feel all inadequate using data mining to kill doubleclick. Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

I'm reading a paper that has sentences like: We define motion texture as a set of motion textons and their distribution, which characterize the stochastic and dynamic nature of the captured motion. Specifically, a motion texton is modeled by a linear dynamic system (LDS) while the texton distribution is represented by a transition matrix indicating how likely each texton is switched to another. And it still makes a lot more sense than bago's posts. dethstryk: My friend bought some porno mags. He's single-handedly holding up the porn industry.

Just for the record, even I find that behavior obnoxious. Also, Dum, people on thottbot write what they soloed a quest as so others can see and judge if they need aid or not. Even if it's all bragging it's not exactly unwanted. What "very bad" things does WoW have? Because the number of bad experiences that pops to mind can be counted on one hand, though maybe our definition differs. I've been corpsecamped once, which really is annoying. Or a stuip group can be a horrible experience, but just quit them as soon as their stupidity shows itself. What's your version of "very bad things"? I'm leveling my guy at the moment so WoW is mostly a comfortable distraction that elicits a feeling of progress and goal completion. Leveling is just such a passive de-stressing activity… it's nice, but it generates a very flat activity curve. Nothing very good or very bad about that, heh. Personally I'm looking forward to Arena PvP fights, that's where the extreme fun comes in. "…a four-dimensional real vector space equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form."

Also, did I mention XAML? Did you hear about STFU? Give it a try! |

Man, stochastic, now there's a word I haven't heard since university. Even I know what crossing the Rubicon means, and I know fuck all about American history. -m0nty

Then you don't wikipedia enough. |

It's about time. They go after the spammer sites, but they fail to address the IGE funded operations where ex-Blizzard reps currently work. Odd. That. |
|
Wow, I almost can't believe how good Blood Diamond is. Fantastic movie, very brutal, very touching. And nodoubt less fantasy than any of us likes to think. Even Leonardo DiCaprio was good. "…a four-dimensional real vector space equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric bilinear form."
|
|
It's been a good year for seeing Leonardi DiCaprio die in films. |

I didn't find Hot Fuzz too long. Spiderman 3 on the other hand was way too long. Or maybe just too boring. Even I know what crossing the Rubicon means, and I know fuck all about American history. -m0nty

Bago's last couple posts provided me with a good laugh. World of Warcraft is a pie eating contest where the reward is more pie.

SWAN ! |

Hot Fuzz wasn't too long. It was awesome all the way through. Blood Diamond was a lot better than I was expecting and one of the better movies made last year. Oh, and I finally got around to seeing The Departed. I know it's probably against all that is holy, but I think that's my favorite Scorsese film ever. It was incredibly good.

My wife and I watched West Side Story. Interesting movie from the days of yore. |

It was on PBS a few nights ago, we watched for a while as well. Actually, the liberalism of the media - as a general thing - IS a major fallacy. What the media is, is a whore. -LP Johnsen Family
