Colbert All Star Singing Final

sanderbos says...

<sad>Snif</sad>

What a great stunt to end on though. Ferguson also had his last show and he did the now standard thing of getting guests to take part in a bit shot over months as they were a guest anyway. To get all those people together for at a single moment in his studio, I bet most of them only got travel expenses too, impressive.

But yeah, an end to my current favorite show, only to be probably be replaced with a standard late night thing :-(((

Combat Cat

MilkmanDan says...

I had close to the exact opposite reaction.

I love dogs if they are mine, but other people's dogs are a bloody menace (shit in my yard, bark at me on the public street, scare my kids/family, etc.). On the other hand, cats are always their usual occasionally-lovable-but-usually-aloof selves, whether they belong to you or somebody else (don't get me wrong, I love cats when I own them, I'm just not looking for constant overt affection from them).

A cat like this one looks like it would probably begrudgingly tolerate a dog that belonged to its owner, but any other dog that comes sniffing around is going to get a face full of claws and a health dose of "and STAY out" chasing for good measure. Which is pretty much the ideal behavior for a cat, in my opinion...

Heartbleed bug and encryption (Science Talk Post)

lucky760 says...

As any geek will be able to tell you, our login capability was not affected by Heartbleed...

because our login form is not encrypted.

We did upgrade everything within a day or so that Heartbleed was announced because there are other SSL-related things that may have been affected, but our logins have always been vulnerable to sniffing without the aid of a massive two-year bug in SSL.

The Many Faces of Guilty Dogs

Payback says...

They don't make a connection between cause, effect, and responsibility. I wish I could find the video, but I've seen one where an owner is angry his dog keeps spreading the garbage around in his kitchen, and he "knows when it's happened" because the dog looks "guilty" when the owner gets home.

The video was of the owner being told to put the dog in his bedroom, go into the kitchen, throw the garbage around, then go open the bedroom door and leave the house. He comes back after 10 minutes, and the dog greets him "guiltily".

The dog had been "trained" that garbage on the floor of the kitchen meant he was going to get punished. Even though they had video showing the dog merely walked into the kitchen and sniffed a couple items, he still looked "guilty" because the garbage was there.

I guess what I'm saying is a dog doesn't think "I shouldn't do this, because it will create a situation that I'll get in shit for." unless you catch them doing it. Once it's done, and nothing has happened immediately, the dog just ends up confused when you punish them for it.

Also, they don't know conversational English. "WHO ATE THE SHOE?" is meaningless to the dog at 0:50. He just knows your angry and he's being submissive (which is a good dog trait btw).

Your comment is not strictly true.
It has been discovered that many animals -especially primates - share many of our emotions. Love, hate, empathy, memory, trust/distrust, fear etc. I do agree that the word "guilt" is a misnomer. However, the dog does, certainly, remember the act. It certainly knows it was wrong. And, as such, will fear the consequences. They do not just live in the "now."
I was brought up with farm dogs, had 2 German Shepherds, and currently have a Tamaskan (mighty Wolf), whose intelligence is scary sometimes. I would agree that many people treat their pets as humans and, as such, anthropormorphise too much. But there is certainly no doubt that, in particular, dogs are far more cognisant than many give them credit for.

no no no.
you misunderstood my intent.
i wasnt berating you or anything,i was just being too lazy and not really looking for an argument is all.

i know that you and i dont always agree but i respect your input.
you didnt have to defend your position in regards to percy.i believe you,i was just unaware of that part of the dynamic.

how can we ever come to a rational and reasoned solution if we dont have all the information?

propaganda is propaganda.no matter where its origins are and it takes vigilance to sort through all the malarky and self-interest to get to the truth.

we do that by discussing with each other.

i do not wish to reside in an echo chamber where everybody is having a wonderful circle jerk and sniffing their own farts,clapping each other on the back on just how clever they are.

we need dissenting voices.
we need opposing opinions.
if only to solidify our own perceptions and understandings.
and sometimes to eject a false dichotomy.

you have always been respectful,and even though we may disagree on certain points,i will always give ear to what you have to say.

you have earned that my friend.

Bombs Away - Better Luck Next Time [Official Video]

Fusionaut says...

Given the description this one smelled like a self link. I did some sniffing around and discovered that someone named Wayne Freitag uploaded this same video onto vimeo: http://vimeo.com/79873545

My guess is he's probably working for whoever made the video and created his account just to promote the video. Any thoughts? Is it considered a self link?

Idiots Topple a 20 Million Year Old Rock Formation

chingalera says...

Right? Fine, banned from National parks for life, and their public self-immolation seems a harsh enough mistress? ...I'd add a judgement of a mandatory probation of five years wearing a shirt in public as community service which reads, "Utah Rock-Tipper Guy."

The same people who would sit at their computers and pontificate after working the system's chores at the system's game....and who are about as involved with real-time politics as it takes to cast a vote after reading blogs and bitching...the same recycle dutifully and with much sniffing of their own fart-gas with windows sealed tightly in their Prius'.....Would place public lands chicaneries right up there with serial killing.

It's getting very close to critical mass ignoramus-ism, idiocratic hell.

Debilitating fine? That is a bit excessive. Regular fine should suffice.

Reporter Gives Tips For Reacting To Bears, Bizarrely

lucky760 says...

Dublyutief!

"Lay flat" always reminds me of a couple who were hiking and they both did just that when a grizzly approached. The bear calmly started sniffing the wife then started chewing on the back of her neck and eating her brain while she was alive.

Still, that's the only chance you've got. Sucks.

Which Are Smarter: Cats or Dogs?

Sagemind says...

I've never seen a seeing eye cat
or a dope sniffing cat
or even a watch cat before.

Cat's can't really be trained to do certain types of tasks.

In fact, I don't believe you can really compare them - it's like they are two completely different types of species. (Ya, I said it!)

That would be the least of your worries dear ant.
