  • I'm not one for piracy either, to be honest, but that doesn't justify the 'wacky shenanigans' that companies go to in order to counter it. 

    And vice versa.

    Blind, Henry Bemis felt the cold, hard, floor for books he could not possibly read.  The least one can do is to stack them and show that someone in this lonely world still cares for books.

    After walking and crawling for what seemed like miles, feeling the pages of every book just in case it was braille, Henry Bemis found what he was looking for.

    Sadly, Henry Bemis could not read Braille.

    "Why, It's just like a cryptogram" he said to himself.

    Only, Cryptograms are much harder when you can't see them to review.

    But he had time.

    All the time in the world.

    But here's the thing: they only do so as a reaction to piracy.

    Sorry, but that does not give them an excuse to silently install rootkits, even if the user refused the EULA.
  • do you know what doesn't silently install rootkits on your computer?


    shirts


    as a matter of fact, shirts are entirely incapable of installing malware on anything

  • see, norman gets it
  • No, it doesn't. I agree. But it doesn't justify piracy either. And besides, intrusive DRM or no, piracy is going to happen.

    Which is a knock on both sides, really.

    The words the, and, I, a, are all helpful to any cryptogram, but how to tell the word THE from the word AND, how to guess if the single letter word was I or A, and all without being able to look over notes or see any markings one might make, how to use the context of the sentence that is the crux of cryptograms when all you can read is one letter at a time, and without even knowing which letter it was.

    weeks passed with no success, months passed, and Henry Bemis lost all hope of translating, was simply running his fingers over the Braille as a child looks at the letters he can't read, as a foreigner listens intently to the language he can't understand.

    \~*\#~

    \~*\#~

    \~*\#~

    \~*\#~

    \~*\#~

    \~*\#~

    could it be? Yes it could. There is only one six letter word with that letter pattern. PEOPLE.

    "people, people, it was PEOPLE!" Bemis screamed, having been given a second chance, a Rosetta Stone, the first word he had read since his glasses broke.

    Bemis now had four letters, P, O, L, and E. with this breakthrough, he could slowly begin to read Braille.

    Henry Bemis, a man who hated people, a man who abandoned people for books, is now saved by PEOPLE; for in such ways work... The Twilight Zone!

  • cooking prostrat / lifehack / whatever:

    *home made pizza, made with ingredients purchased at a store is fucking gross. This is a fact.
    *those pizza lunchables many of us had as children were awesome, this is also a fact.
    *you can buy pizza crusts, loose mozzarella cheese blends, and Tombstone sauce at an average grocery store. This, lastly, is a fact as well.

    Thus, you should:

    *buy the aforementioned items
    *make a lunchable pizza the size of a regular pizza
    *flip off any who would judge you
  • Mo

    thank you

    so much

    Dude.

    Homemade pizza tastes, at best, like nothing. It is like eating cheesy air.

    Lunchable pizzas--don't get me wrong, taste nothing like real pizza--but at least they are a good food.

    It's not us. For a long time I thought it was but I've had homemade pizza at others' houses too, and the fact remains that from what I have seen and more importantly tasted, good homemade pizza is impossible to achieve.

    Hi Imi

    I don't like provolone very much

    Hi Anonus

    Sometimes I eat these kinda frozen pizzas that I just have to heat up

    they're pretty ok

    all you need is an oven that goes up to 500, a baking peel & stone... you don't even need anything special?



    seriously my dad makes the best deep dish pizza, it has these artichoke hearts and it is just completely =w=

    those range from awful to alright in my experience.

    She uses Mexican chorizo instead of Italian sausage, gives it a nice spiciness

    that sounds kind of interesting actually
  • I recommend it. It's free and it's really interesting.
  • Hachaaaaaaa, just won a match against an Akuma while using Dan. A higher-ranked Akuma.

    How do I make a good comparison for you lot who don't play SSFIV?

    It's like winning against Grinder with an Octopode Fighter.

    It's like winning against a Touhou endboss by timing out all of the spellcards.

    I used to be kind of afraid of Lee because she is a former Mormon, and there are a lot of former Mormons on the Internet that are really bitter towards Mormonism; and so many blogs and sites like exmormon; the recovery from Mormonism website.

    This is, of course, silly, as Lee is one of the most gentle and nice people and is about as scary as musty styrofoam.

    Lesson learned: people are nicer than you think, give them a chance.

    I wish I could remember her name. She really is the cutest thing.

    you should also try The Thrilling Adventure hour, which is a Podcast styled as an old radio station; and it is hilarious. It also has guest stars like Nathan Filion or however you spell his name.

    Cactoid Jim is one of the greatest characters ever.

    Imagine living beneath the waves with a strong-sighted blessing of most excellent fabric. Holding the fabric over your gills, you would begin to breathe-drink its warp and weft. Though the plantmatter fibers imbue your soul, the wretched plankton would pollute the cloth until it stank to heavens of prophecy. This is one manner in which the Scrolls first came to pass, but are we the sea, or the breather, or the fabric? Or are we the breath itself?
    Can we flow through the Scrolls as knowledge flows through, being the water, or are we the stuck morass of sea-filth that gathers on the edge?
    Imagine, again, this time but different. A bird cresting the wind is lifted by a gust and downed by a stone. But the stone can come from above, if the bird is upside down. Where, then, did the gust come from? And which direction? Did the gods send either, or has the bird decreed their presence by her own mindmaking?
    The all-sight of the Scrolls makes a turning of the mind such that relative positions are absolute in their primacy.
    I ask you again to imagine for me. This time you are beneath the ground, a tiny acorn planted by some well-meaning elf-maiden of the woodlands for her pleasure. You wish to grow but fear what you may become, so you push off the water, the dirt, the sun, to stay in your hole. But it is in the very pushing that you become a tree, in spite of yourself. How did that happen?
    The acorn is a kind of tree-egg in this instance, and the knowledge is water and sun. We are the chicken inside the egg, but also the dirt. The knowledge from the Scrolls is what we push against to become full-sighted ourselves.
    One final imagining before your mind closes from the shock of ever-knowing. You are now a flame burning bright blue within a vast emptiness. In time you see your brothers and sisters, burnings of their own in the distance and along your side. A sea of pinpoints, a constellation of memories. Each burns bright, then flickers. Then two more take its place but not forever lest the void fills with rancid light that sucks the thought.
    Each of our minds is actually the emptiness, and the learnings of the Scrolls are the pinpoints. Without their stabbing light, my consciousness would be as a vast nothingness, unknowing its emptiness as a void is unknowing of itself. But the burnings are dangerous, and must be carefully tended and minded and brought to themselves and spread to their siblings.
