Quarterly Reminder of ICP's Existence

Thu, 06/03/2010 - 00:56
In this episode, we examine the "Juggalo" culture. We demonstrate that this is not a hoax or a joke--these individuals do exist and they're likely operating heavy equipment, possibly in your area.

This documentary footage was of a "gathering" of ICP fans (who label themselves "Juggalos").

Best quote: "I just hope I don't get the HIV again."

Piracy and PC Gaming

Tue, 06/01/2010 - 19:27
Captain Fantastic's article jogged my memory about a well written article by a small but successful software firm Stardock. In short he suggests making good software targeted at your customers, and while piracy no doubt hurts the industry it's far too often a scapegoat. [I can't find a link to the article directly, if any reader knows of one feel free to add it in the comments section.]___________________Piracy & PC GamingPublished on March 10, 2008 By Draginol In GalCiv Dev JournalsRecently there has been a lot of talk about how piracy affects PC gaming. And if you listen to game developers ...

Blizzard "Surrenders" To Piracy, Except Not

Tue, 06/01/2010 - 00:40
So a few weeks ago Blizzard, makers of World of Warcraft (as well as some games that aren't gay), announced that they weren't going to invest a lot of resources in preventing piracy of their new game, Starcraft II. They basically said it's a losing battle (can't win, don't try). This was met with a lot of press from the nerd communities who somehow think they finally have found a company that shares their idiotic view of the world that says that piracy has zero negative consequences, and that battling it is futile.The reason companies use copy protection is because it works. Nerds will use the ...

Political Terminology Rant

Sun, 05/30/2010 - 20:42
I've just finished another discussion that ended up with the a pointless "is not"/"is so" political categorization debate.By now I've played enough terminological gymnastic to realize that the majority of political terminology is made up on the spot and cut to fit current political purpose. As such "definitions" are more often than not transitory, contradictory, and selective whenever it fits political expediency.Save the tap-dancing pedantism for inter-party partisan games, such nebulous (non)-descriptors are worthless aside from use as contemporary rhetorical fluff. And save your breath by ...

Orange blossom falls
The last one of the season
Life is so fleeting.

-----

A shard of remorse
Pierces my armored conscience
Many fallen leaves.

------

End of useful life
Nothing more now than a husk
Time to fade away.

-----

Adrift in huge void
Beyond reach of any hope
Waiting for the end.

Desert Bloom Phoenix 1

Sun, 05/30/2010 - 11:09
Desert Bloom Phoenix 1 : the first shot fired in the war against squarenessAt the tail end of the year 2009, after turning 30, buying my first house, and with a daughter on the way, the realization that life gallops past at a thoroughbred pace dawned violently on me. I'd spent that year and several before it highly focused on earning money, developing new skills, and pursuing social goals, but only doing my true and lifelong passion, music, in erratic spurts. That needed remedy, so I promised my soul that I would make up for that neglect, and then some. I declared to myself and whoever was ...

Producers of Hurt Locker Movie Attempt to Ruin My Day

Sat, 05/29/2010 - 17:50
So this month, the motion picture companies have been suing people who download movies. ~25,000 in all. The Hurt Locker was the latest on the "if you downloaded it, you wont be sleeping well for a long time" list. They're not suing for much, just their legal fees (thousands?) and an assurance that you deleted the offending files from your computer.Luckily, I don't download shitty movies so I've managed to avoid all the targeted files in the MPAA's latest hit-list. However, there may well come a day where I have to resort to proxies or tapping into unprotected wifi hotspots to get my movies ...

I hate films that suck but have a complicated plot where you don't know what's going on because you probably weren't paying attention, but you definitely don't care enough to google and find out.... so then someone asks you "what was this movie about" and you sound like an ass saying "I donno but DON'T SEE IT"

How to Copy VirtualBox from One Mac To Another

Wed, 05/26/2010 - 17:21
So I installed VirtualBox a few days ago and loved it so much I wanted to put it on my Macbook (and since it's FREE, you can do it without licensing issues unlike some other pieces of software..... f$#@ you Macworld). However, I have no desire to reinstall/reconfigure Windows. Therefore I decided to just transfer VirtualBox' configuration from one Mac to another as closely as possible. This method takes about 1 minute (plus however long it takes to transfer your hard drive image).I tried transferring the "~/Library/VirtualBox" folder over directly, and that didn't work (seems to be ...

Review of VirtualBox Review

Tue, 05/25/2010 - 04:24
VirtualBox is an open source x86 virtualization program. To put it simply what that is:I've been running into more and more reasons to boot into Windows lately, so today I decided to stop rebooting all the time and get a virtual machine program. I've been burned before when I purchased Parallels, so I decided to find a cheaper and better way.Parallels charges for every version, and each version EXPIRES when used with a newer version of OS X. The upgrade costs nearly as much as the program itself, so it's quite the motherfucker.So I googled, found VirtualBox, started downloading the 70mb ...

Does John Stossel Drink Dewars' Scotch??

Sat, 05/15/2010 - 18:01
In possibly the biggest revelation in history: Could my favorite talking head (actually, the only one I can stand) also be a fellow fan of Dewars' White Label? For those not in the know, Dewars is the best scotch under $100/fifth (at least from what I've found). It's also my liver's arch nemesis as they have done battle on many, many occasions.In his latest installment of his show "Stossel" (his show on gambling), John throws in clips of him and others playing Texas Hold 'Em with a fifth of Dewars' White Label sitting right in front of him. Is that his beverage or is that a prop? This question ...

This Is A Video Of A Corvette Chasing a U-2. That is all

Sat, 05/15/2010 - 17:40


Apparently the U-2 (AKA Dragon Lady) is so hard to land, having a fellow experienced U-2 pilot follow your landing in a high-performance car while relaying info over the radio is standard practice. The landing in this video is one of the better ones.

Here are some of the less satisfactory landings:
