My mistake - carry on with the comments!

It's my error that it came off as sarcastic. I'd actually be quite interested in TF2 class videos. The scout is one of my least-played classes, but I'm surprised at how effective some scouts can be at defense sometimes.


It'd be a bit on the technical side - we're talking competitive tf2, not pub servers.

You can totally see him sliding there along the road but you can't tell unless you know thats him stopping in front of he grey car. CRAZY!

He has an annotated video where he points out the driver being ejected, sliding across the highway, and stopping 10 feet in front of his Mustang.

Unexpectedly good. I'm wary of the tilt-shift thing; sure it is clever, but it is also very gimmicky and gets old real fast. This video is almost an amalgam of gimmicks, but in the end is actually quite interesting and creative.

Why can't we get some of the UK programming here in the US?

Top Gear, Quite Interesting, Would I Lie To You? ... Nothing is worth watching on US television, but this is all gold.

In the UK it's revoiced by Tony Hirst - I found this one irritating too!

Same, couldn't stand it

Sounds like some very reasonable arguments. But I'm also quite interested in the evolution of the URL bar, and tabs on top seem to take it one more step to the eventual disappearance I predict. Like his example of an application showing a location bar, it's just not that relevant moving forward. It should be replaced with the title text. Of course it needs to keep the authenticity certification, but that is getting larger and more obvious already (and with good reason). Eventually the URL will be used as little as the "view source" tool. Perhaps for those who use it frequently it could be assigned a quick key like CTRL-U, the way CTRL-F works for "find". Also, I hate the wasted screen space to the right of "File ...... Help". It would be great if we could customize that space with bookmarks or something.

BTW NicoleBee, CTRL-Tab works great in tabbed browsers.

Hmm... just poked around IE and Chrome. CTRL-U is "view source" in Firefox and Chrome, but nothing for IE. Also, Chrome is already Tab-on-top. Didn't notice that before.

FUnny, I actually quit like her voice.

Quite interesting evidence. Now we need further results from the LHC. An exciting time in science indeed!

I know I could google, and I will, but what are your tips for making your own cleaning products as I'm quite interested in doing that.

In reply to this comment by volumptuous:
Ubuntu?

Yeah, I'll just do that. Because you know, I don't need things like Adobe CS4/5, Logic Audio, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Max/MSP, Final Cut, Color, Motion, Lightroom and basically every other piece of software I use for my professional and fun purposes.

After scanning around some Ubuntu forums and finding out just what a nightmare it is to run any of my required software, I called a friend @ JPL, and one at Oracle to ask if my summation was correct, and they said "for what you need, Ubuntu makes zero sense". Yep, there you go campion.

Why are we talking about Ubuntu? Oh right, to show that we don't need sweatshops to live our wetern lifestyles. Which for me, (aside from about 1/2 the tech I own) is absolutely true.

I work from home, my GF takes mass transit. We have a massive garden where we get most of our food from. We buy all other food from locally grown, sustainable sources (mostly south central farmers market). We make all of our own cleaning agents, use soap nuts for washing clothes, recycle all water, harvest rainwater, solar dry food, hardly ever use a heater, have no A/C or central air. We use canvas bags to shop with, compost 100% of all food waste, recycle or reuse all plastic/paper/glass etc. Our combined trash for a full month is 1/2 of a normal small plastic bag.

I DO NOT buy Nike products, have never bought anything from WalMart, don't buy fastfood (aside from the ocassional In-n-Out) and we both study the source where all of our merch is made. In this ugly web of global corporate confusion, it's not always easy to find out where every piece of every camera or MIDI controller or PS3 you buy comes from.

It is very easy to "vote with my wallet" although I am not so naive to think it makes a dent on the big picture. But a lot of people would rather just scream "just buy Ubuntu and the world is saved" that's a load of bullshit.

If you ever get a chance to listen to Thom Hartman's radio show, every Friday he has a show with Bernie Sanders called "Breakfast with Bernie". The show runs on a lot of Air America affiliates in case any one is interested.

It's quite interesting.

He doesn't really setup why people want to use feynman diagrams. The reason is quite interesting. It turns out the simplest (i.e. the fewest lines) interactions are the most probable and dominant. There are also specific conservation rules you have to follow when drawing them. The genius of these diagrams is that we draw all the solutions to a given QED problem and solve for the wave functions in an intuitive way. It is a clever trick.
