    Is there a way to disable CLEditor only for certain browsers? Because it doesn't play nice with Chrome for Android. :/
  • Lee: Okay, I'll try those things.

    Also, hello. I was gonna quote something from a few posts back, but the editor is giving me pain so I'll just say: I've only ever known one person who had an ISDN at home. This was 2005 or so, and he had it only because nobody at the time was offering proper broadband in Very Rural Ohio.

    CA: No idea. As for ISDN, we had it at the office when I first started working there in 1998, but now? About the only people I know of that use it are radio people for remote broadcasts. I guess the codec they use requires ISDN. 

    Also, I notice while reading PC Mag's Best of 1997 issue that practically everyone there wanted Apple to fail and Microsoft to be left alone. Did people like Windows 95 that damned much, were they being pessimistic, or were they being paid off to badmouth the competition? I don't think we'll ever know, but this was also before Apple came out with the iMac.

    People were fucking stupid about everything back around 1995-99.  Take every annoying stereotype you know: the stuck-up apple user, the annoyingly stupid Windows user, the extra-annoying Linux advocated, and the fingernails-on-chalkboard-level-of-annoying Amiga advocates and put them all on an internet and ready to tell the world how much everyone else's computer sucks. It's amazing how broadband managed to quietly show up and take over around that time, to be honest. 
  • I wonder if the Amiga name has lapsed into the public domain yet.

    Forsythe: Oh, and don't forget the OS/2 fans that were convinced that Warp was going to win someday, even as IBM dropped support for it after Warp 4.0 bombed. 

    Also, I have to admit the whole "Welp, I guess Apple is done for, may as well let 'em rest in peace" thing is a lot less annoying than the constant "OS/2 is the future and you damn well better be ready for it" thing people like Zachmann were doing back in 1991-1992, round the time OS/2 2.0 came out.

    I have $25 credit to the Google Play store but they don't have any books by Roald Dahl.

    So not fair

    Wow, there are a surprising amount of ads for LCD monitors as I work my way through 1998. I guess this was around the time when they were finally coming down in price.

    They didn't really start to become affordable until around 2001-2002. It was around that time that I purchased my first LCD monitor, from wal-mart. Thing was $350 and I'm sure the contrast ratio was something impressive like 150:1.

  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

    I might have mentioned this before, but looking at Imi's old TVT avatars reminds me that I liked that one with the space whale. I have no clue where it's from, though.

    I've been practicing for the math portion of the SAT.


    ...My mother insists I get 94th percentile on it due to my low GPA.


    Whyyy can't i ever make this woman happyyyyyy. ;_;


    In other news, finished the main storyline in Pokemon Black.

    I never took the SAT

  • There's something I don't like about IJBM II and I can't quite put my finger on it.

    FM: Wow, that sounds like a pretty tall order. Sorry to hear that.

    I took both the ACT and the SAT. I'm a little happier with my ACT result than my SAT results, though that's partly because the ACT has a science section.
  • edited 2012-08-04 19:30:41

    It's not that tall of an order (*I have to get three or less questions wrong IIRC, without studying at all I only got 5 wrong*), but there's like no room for error. ._.
  • Living tissue over endoskeleton.
    Having taken it and gotten 99th percentile, I can say it sounds a lot more daunting than it is.

    Also, Ghestis's strongest Pokemon is at like level 54 or so (*Beating him was fun, Stealth rock + Toxic + Serpeior & Archeops w/ Dragon Tail*), then in the post-main-story-areas there's like a 10 level jump up to like 65 or so.



    Why?

    Meh the SATs aren't a huge deal in the end. As long as you do decent it will be fine. I was able to improve my math each of the 3 years I took it. Really, doing all the study guides for the Sats aren't worth it IMO

    I guess I'm one to talk there, since my score was in the high 700s. I forget exactly what percentile it was.
  • I think I only broke 600s in one of the language tests. Meh, I still got into a good school.

    I went to upload something on TinyPic and their little sponsored-image-captcha thing was a Chevron logo with the instructions "describe this brand with any word(s)."

    I put "evil" ('twas my first thought; they're an oil company after all) and it accepted this, which amused me.

    I'm guessing it would have to do with on-demand playback is streaming while for DVR playback whatever you're watching is already on your DVR in its entirety
