...so a belated "Ya! Lots faster now!"

Hey, finally had some time to bugger with this computer. My hosts file already had 2 entries, sending me to the old VS. No clue how that came about...

Hey, about the mini quadcopter, here's a thumb.

She doesn't seem too concerned, maybe it was a setup?

My dad was born a bit South of Red Deer in Three Hills, does that count?

Yea, someone would have called Child Welfare, and then shot the camera people when they jumped out.

HA! Betcha didn't think I had a gift ready!

I'm so smug.

Merry Christmas!

How do you know so much about the hazards of space exploration? I'm looking for an expert of sorts to consult for a short film about Voyager, drop me a line if your interested.


Mostly from reading "hard science" fiction. I kinda dislike the stuff that plays fast and lose with the various accepted physical laws. The cynical part of my brain is wondering if you're teasing, but I'll let the warm fuzzy part respectfully say I ain't anywhere near "expert".

Wasn't angry. Capitals and other formatting just used for effect. I apologize if I came off that way.

You lost me completely. I understand the difference between legal and illegal. There is no meaningful distinction between something that has been decriminalized and legal. People use "decriminalized" to still place the moral bad sign on something while advocating it's non-criminal status; a way of labeling something bad and yet having it be legal. The phrase is all about having your moral cake, and eating it too. Didn't mean to excite your anger there, was just asking what you saw as a difference, if any, between something that is decriminalized, and something that is legal, because for me, it is semantically the same.

Hey, here's a better embed for your movie stunt wrecking ball into van post.



It's for the movie "The Other Guys". in this you can see the hydraulic flipper arm under the van.

About the maps on your Bold.

That's really weird. I have almost 1MB cached at the moment, seems permanently.

Are you running stock storage? I have a 2 GB card. Maybe that has something to do with it, or at least where you store your cache.

Oh shit, I just noticed we're talking apples and oranges. I'm using Blackberry maps. Sorry.

Check your settings, my Curve 8900 caches. Yes, you have to have downloaded the info at some point, but it chaches the map just to avoid excess downloading fees.

If I fire up gmaps in a deadzone on my blackberry, it tells me there's no service and does nothing. It ought to cache the road map if not the satellite imagery.

Always upvote double entendre.

Peonage sounds a lot like pwnage.

In Soviet Russia, sky copyrights YOU!

Ok, that sounded better in my head...

Apparently the sky is copyrighted in Russia.  Anyway, it's fixed.

>> Sorry. J/K. I have not a predjudiced bone in my body, but in context, I channeled one of the fucktards in the video. Honestly, I have no problem whatsoever with you and wish you well. I think I've said it elsewhere in here, I have several friends I think are gay, never asked, don't care. Well, two of them are married to each other, so it's a bit obvious, but oh well.

You didn't need the disclaimer, I knew you were joking.

Yeah, I pretty much assumed that. Others on the Sift might take offense by proxy.
