first half of the song is meh but it ends pretty well
rules hard
Digging: Mudvayne - L.D. 50
yeah pretty sweet as expected
First half was unexpected, but whole thing was pretty good.
Yeah it's a cool song. The album should be pretty sweet.
Digging: Interpol - El Pintor
cool guitar solo. ahh fuck im so excited for this
well that was awesome.
looking forward to the album yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah
Digging: Luigi Nono - A Pierre; Quando stanno morendo;
that was pretty bad
solid 7/10
Digging: This Will Destroy You - Another Language
pretty cool i guess
fuckin rules
Really digging that dissonant chord they carry through the song.
songs a little repetitive though.
found bits of it a little jarring and incoherent, might grow on me, idk
this is good! oh yeah
song will kill live
feel like i've waited so long for this. idk how i feel about it on the first listen.
song rules
pretty awesome like everything they do
dante shut up your negative nancy
Damn, not even gonna lie. I didn't like it. Sounded average as hell to me. Hope the album is a lot better than this :-/
finally!!! song is good but i expected better. not sure about the solo though.
Didn't like the solo but other than that sweet song.
Reasonable to good.
"song will kill live"
yeah I can imagine it. only part I didn't like was the chorus, repetitive and slow.
Oh my god, they're back. This is a dream come true!
This song made me realize that I dont like Verse. Probably wont be listening to this.
afraid to listen to this now
That there was a pretty good tune.
fuck yeah
can't believe they're back!
pretty good. way more breakdowns than i would have expected.
also that solo felt kind of out of place, but at least they're changing it up a little bit. i love aggression but my one problem with that record was that a lot of the songs started to blend together.
I must be the only one who thinks this completely sucks. The beginning sounds like some nu-metal shit. What a let down compared to how amazing Aggression was.
People are too stoked that Verse is reuniting and making a new album, makes them overlook the fact that this song is painfully average.
Wasn't that good. Hopefully the rest of the album is better.
@deathofasalesman have you read this thread?
Actually wait it is mostly positive never mind
Just listened to the song myself. Kind of disappointing (only a bit) but overall I actually thought it was pretty great.
Hey look it's an aids quad post
I thought this would grow on me a bit after repeated listens. Nope.
The first part sounds like Rage Against The Machine
BItter Clarity, Uncommon Grace goes hard
Google the album title and you can find the leak within the first five results.
How has this leaked it doesn't come out for a month and a half.
Most likely someone got a review copy and leaked it, although it's not watermarked either (or whatever you call it). I hope the production is changed.
I just downloaded and am already listening. Sounds amazing. I can't believe this happened so early.

Bad assumptions... (197 comments)
Several bad assumptions were caught -- however one that I've not seen (yet) is the assumption that all the cell phone are "smart" (aka latest tech features form and function). I for one don't want one (if you gave it to me I'd quickly sell it before it was stolen). I also know of many people that don't want one. Many of us like our old desktop/laptop/server. I'm also not into the idea of sharing my phone when I want to watch TV.

1. Frozen eggs fertilized eggs (yes, they all can be female).
2. As the ship will be generational, the new children will do as taught, as it is all they will know since birth.
3. Labor? Prefab houses, meals ready to go. What is left?
Re:Why send people? (392 comments)
Don't need males for the first 30--35 years. Use pre-selected (female) embryos for the first 35 years.... then allow males to enter the general population.
(Wow, just realized: for hundreds of years, no one will have seen a male!)
Re:Sure, but... (392 comments)
Let's try again. Say you take 150 people to run the ship, and figure to get your 10k population level with these embryos after they arrive. You can incubate them (if you brought the equipment) but then you get 10k squalling infants and only 150 people to provide food shelter education and attention for them for the next decade plus before they start carrying their own weight. It just doesnt work that way.
They wouldn't need to all be born at the same time. Also, the initial population should be all female (obvious reasons). Time the release of new-born to allow for the most genetic diversity. (They may not be happy hatching others eggs but... hey, they've got a new planet to populate!) After the first ~10 births per woman (assuming 150 to start with, starting at age '18') working they 'norm' mortality (adult/child) after about 30-35 years you are looking at a population of about 10K, which could be sustainable.
After arrival 150...
Year 1: 150 woman give birth to 150 children. Population 299.
Year 2: 150 woman give birth to 150 children. Population 447.
Year 3: 150 woman give birth to 150 children. Population 595... (you get the point)
(side note: tweaking the spreadsheet for this is interesting.)
Re:The noise problem is not just a TV one. (544 comments)
Not to long ago, I watched as someone was texting -- walked into an intersection (crosswalk) against the (pedestrian) light. The on-coming traffic (with a normal engine) had to stop as to not hit her. As she approached me -- I told her "you just walked against the light and forced that car to stop"
The point being: If someone is not paying attention - and walks into the street, engine noise (or lack of it) is not going to make a lot of difference, only an excuse for lawyers after the fact. (He knew his car was quite -- he should have watched out for that pedestrian!)

I knew there was a good reason.... (385 comments)
Last year -- I downloaded all the Compaq (now HP) SP's from their FTP site -- don't quite know what to do with them. I downloaded all of the SP's in case HP stopped supporting 'older' Compaq's (There are several of the old systems that I like for nostalgia)
Now for the big problem: HP or Dell. Dell is firing 15,000 of it's employees --- and HP's new support policy sucks (REALLY sucks).
My question is
I do know this much: If I need to "throw away" otherwise perfectly good equipment as HP will not provide basic user accessible support for it -- I will not replace the equipment from the same manufacturer with the same BAD policy. I have three 'old' Proliant (580, 585 & 360) servers in use now. If (when) they fail -- the equipment will not be replaced with modern equipment from HP (assuming this policy remains in place).
Re:Annotated game record (449 comments)
Mr. Gates did three week... well, one week and two bad moves.
6.0-0 - This move was done WAY to early. For one to castle is (usually) a passive move, which allows your opponent to gain an extra move
8.hxg4 - This is a clear mistake. This opens his right side rank for the queen to enter
9.Kxe5?? - This was the final nail.

8. B d3 to e4

Stop messing with MY system, and I'll stop messing with your ad's.
Suggestions and options. (310 comments)
(1) If you don't want to pay for an anti-virus program, at least install a free one.
If you don't have antivirus, you shouldn't have a computer. Note that AVG works fine.
(2) Save files to a folder that is automatically mirrored to the cloud, for effortless backups.
Ever hear of a USB hard drive? Get two, and rotate them; placing one in a safe-deposit box. Use "Windows Backup"
(3) Create a non-administrator guest account, in case a friend needs to borrow the computer.
That way a hacker can have another means to get into your system!
(4) Be aware of your computer's System Restore option as a way of fixing mysterious problems that arose recently.
Re:QA??? the coders are they own QA and we save (303 comments)
Why pay for QA when we can get the coders to due that and the web site users are beta testers.
My point exactly, which is why there are so many problems (Coders are NOT QA/Test... )
The last time we had QA the PHB dropped in saw them just sitting at the same page all day long (well that is what the non tech PHB said and said we do we need this? and fired them all)
Bad leadership, bad management. If the (PHB) management can't properly handle a QA staff, it should be the (PHB) management that should be fired. Who ever took the PHB recommendation; should also be fired.
Any QA worth their salt (may chance those QA should have been replaced) should be able to justify the expense of their working. I've saved all of I've companies that I've worked for money, from errors in PM, to finding bugs ("How'd he find that one") to finding errors in process. The biggest problem that I've had is management won't listen.
Re:Is it the business process that is broken? (303 comments)
"Sometimes a mistake happen"... I believe it is more frequent than you (or the company) let on, as Myer, Brick and Delta now know. I don't believe that it is "risk vs reward"; it's "risk vs Greed".
Having worked for big companies
I've also heard the "10x increase of QA" chant. That is nothing but alarmist (unless they don't have QA).
Is it the business process that is broken? (303 comments)
My response to both of these is: Ever hear of "QA"? Hire some. For Brick, the loss of credibility is substantial. For Delta and Brick, the loss of dollars is quite high. As a QA professional, there have been many times that I've more than paid for my keep by finding critical bugs in developer code. However is this era of "ship it today, we'll fix it tomorrow" (and they never do fix it); problems such as these abound. Don't blame the customer for you being short sighted. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the oven. For these (and more) you should fire your QA managers (or may chance hire one in the first place?). Your software development process is broken, and you need to take this as a warning. How many times have people blamed the computer ("Computer error"); when the fault is with the business process (or lack)? How many business are connected to the internet that shouldn't be - or shouldn't have been (read: Target)?

McIlroy, Woods head PGA Tour ballot
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods were among five players nominated Monday for the PGA Tour player of the year. Players have until the end of the month to vote on the awards.
McIlroy is the clear favorite after leading the tour with four wins, including an eight-shot victory at the PGA Championship. He also won the Vardon Trophy and the money title. Woods won three times. Also on the ballot are FedEx Cup champion Brandt Snedeker, Masters champion Bubba Watson and Jason Dufner.
The five candidates for rookie of the year are John Huh, Jonas Blixt, Charlie Beljan, Ted Potter Jr. and Bud Cauley, the only rookie not to win this year. Huh is favored as the only rookie who qualified for the Tour Championship.

Vettel: Fourth the best we could get
Sebastian Vettel has said fourth was probably the maximum for Red Bull during the 2014 F1 German Grand Prix. Vettel started sixth at Hockenheim and just like at Silverstone two weeks ago enjoyed a good fight with the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso – particularly in the early stages - and once again he came out top, with the Spaniard finishing one place back in fifth. "It [fourth place] was what we could do today," Vettel reflected. "Obviously it was more entertaining than I was hoping for, especially at the beginning again. We started where we finished at Silverstone with Fernando! It [the battle] was quite tight until the last set of stops." "After the first stop I was quite...

This seems highly ironic since democrats usually seem very opposed to tax credits for the rich and for businesses in generally. If ever there was a group of "rich businesses and business people" certainly Hollywood would fall into that category. Instead, why doesn't the "occupy" movement move into the film studios and demand that these rich folks pay their fair share. If ever there was group of the 1% that needed to pay more taxes, I would vote that everyone in Hollywood would be the first.

FDTS - Pt. 1, Chapter One Cnt.Chapter One, Cont.In the meantime, I sat in the middle of Boston Pete's and found myself in a strangely familiar position.The glow of my laptop's monitor reflected off my glasses as I paused to reread the crap I'd just typed out. It wasn't the most prestigious job, but since graduating college, I'd worked for the Raleigh News-Observer as a junior reporter covering the most exciting area events, such as dog shows and craft fairs. Truth be known, I wasn't getting anywhere and since my best friend was ready to set off into a career and marriage, I needed to look for greener pastures in larger markets.However, my efforts to write something impressive for my portfolio yielded absolute bupkis. It forced me to come to grips with the truth my mind was not even in the right hemisphere. I wanted to find out whether or not Scott would be fixing the proverbial ball and chain around his ankle.Sighing, I deleted the entire article. Then, I sat back and polished off the remai

A Day in the Life of a WriterThey're already fighting by the time I wake up, engaged in some argument that must have started while I was asleep. The vampire has the would-be wolf girl pinned against the wall with her love interest set to pounce upon him and the vampire's lover about to cast a spell upon the werewolf. The reporter stands back and shakes his head with the superhero, but they all stop once they see that I'm awake.Good morning, Julie! they say in unison. How do you feel today?I groan and roll my eyes, ignoring them as I stumble into the kitchen. I start the coffeemaker and pop down a piece of toast while getting cereal for my other kids. The real ones. The little creatures that all walk into walls and look about dreamily as they exist in fantasies of their own. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I suppose, but I wonder if I haven't consigned my children to purgatory by donating my helices to their genetic makeup.Especially when the vampire taps on my shoulder and dema
G.C.W. - Chapter One, Pt. 1Chapter One, Pt. 1The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. ~ Marcel ProustIt was the headache that woke me up, but when moving caused a sharp pain to shoot from my shoulder to my upper arm, I knew I had really done it to myself this time. I didn't know where I was. Didn't remember for the life of me what happened last night. All I could say with any certainty was that I was alive and returning to the real world after one hell of a strange trip into dream land.I knew it was daylight by the way the warmth of the sun rained down on me, but wasn't ready to open my eyes just yet. The moment I did, I'd be greeted by a screaming chorus of sunshine blaring right into my face and with how hungover I felt, only misery would follow from here. Instead, I paused to take stock of myself, as though assuring myself I still had all of my mental faculties.My name was Charlotte Mary Walker, I remembered that much. I was born
FDTS - Pt 1 - Chapter OneChapter OneThere are several points where I could begin this story. I could tell you about the night that Scott and I drank enough beer to knock ourselves stupid and commiserated over our poor luck in love. I could tell you how things turned around for Scott when he met a beautiful, blonde-haired woman named Melissa Thompson, and could even go into the way he pursued her into dating him and how a two year relationship sprang from that one date.But instead, the image that I see clearest in my mind takes place the night everything changed, for better and for worse. Or, when I believe it did, anyway.My name is Andrew Carson Lane, and while this is a story about Philadelphia, it starts someplace else and as much as it's about a super hero, it is also about a friend. I say friend here, but the word seems inadequate to describe Scott Reilly because our friendship goes beyond that of two buddies who went to college together. It could partly be because we know each other bette
FDTS - Part One, PrologueProloguePhiladelphia, Pennsylvania.I have a confession to make, I'm not from around here. I'm a poor Southern boy from Charleston, South Carolina a stranger in a strange land still trying to adjust to the culture shock. There are times that I can hardly believe this is my home now, amongst the tall buildings that stare down at me as I stand outside of the Philadelphia Inquirer's main office. Looking up at them makes me feel somewhat smaller and the cold, nighttime wind that smacks against my face illustrates the biggest difference between my hometown and my new residence. I swear, I'll never get used to this weather.Pulling my coat closer to my body, I dig my hands further into my pockets, seeking some warmth from the chill as I start my walk down Broad Street. I have some late-night work I need to get done tonight. . . Oh hell, who am I kidding, I always have late-night work; at least since I've become one of the most notorious reporters in the City of Brotherl
IronmanHear me read itMy friends used to call William "Ironman" because the first time we kissed he got a nosebleed and the taste of his blood haunted me for a long time after it. We'd only been twelve years old and apparently the anxiety spiked his blood pressure to the point of combustion... I remember that when we were forced to take sex ed a few years later we were divided into separate classes for boys and girls, in case a diagram of an ovary was too risqué and we became animalistic and started clawing at each other in our seats, but nonetheless when our teacher Ms Jacobs had explained to us what an erection was in my mind all I could picture was the blood rushing to his nose and then the slash of cranberry across my blouse.With the idea planted in his mind it didn't take long for William's hands to start wandering, but the image persisted. Every time I thought about just letting it happen I wondered what would happen if he got too excite

Investigators Probe Train Collision Data
Investigators studied trackside signals and the instruments and parts from two wrecked commuter trains Saturday to determine the cause of a collision that killed three people.
An eastbound New Jersey Transit train with 650 passengers collided at a junction during the Friday morning rush hour with a 100-passenger Transit train headed west. The wreck injured 162 people.
Officials said the westbound train had the right of way and the other train should have been stopped by a signal.
A corner of the westbound train's 140-ton diesel locomotive smashed into a corner of the passenger car at the head of the eastbound train, shearing off part of the side of the car and throwing it and three other 45-ton cars off the tracks.
Investigators had not ruled out any causes for the collision, said J.S. Dunn, a chief investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board.
"We're looking at the overall operation. We'll be looking at the speed tapes today, we're looking at the brake systems. The signal people are out here looking at the signals. We have crash worthiness and survival factors people going through the vehicles," Dunn said.
Data recorders from the two trains had been sent to NTSB laboratories in Washington, officials said. Bulbs from signal lights were removed and were being studied to see if they were working. Brake systems were to be closely inspected.
The data recorders will show when the brakes were applied and how fast the trains were traveling when the accident happened.

Health minister ignored own department
Decision could put Canadian drug supply at risk: report
TORONTO -- The federal health minister opted to let drug makers voluntarily alert doctors and pharmacists of medication shortages despite concerns from her own department that the approach could put Canada's drug supply at risk, documents show.
Records obtained by The Canadian Press indicate civil servants at Health Canada warned in February last year a voluntary-notice system was "susceptible to bad company behaviour" that could see firms neglect to report every shortage. An outline comparing voluntary versus mandatory approaches cautioned there would be no way to punish manufacturers who fail to report production gaps, which leaves health practitioners scrambling to get drugs to their patients.
Three weeks later Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq wrote to drug-industry associations requesting they voluntarily release information on the increasingly common problem of medication shortages.
The letter to the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association, Rx&D and BIOTECanada said "regulatory alternatives" forcing notification would be considered only if it was not possible for the industry to develop a voluntary plan.
Health Canada threw its support behind the resulting system -- drawn up with input from health groups -- in which drug makers pledged to post shortage information on a central website aimed at health professionals and patients. The site, drugshortages.ca, went live in April.
Voluntary reporting has been strongly opposed by the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society and other health and patient groups. They insist the best way to ensure Canadians reliably get medications such as chemotherapy drugs and antibiotics is for Ottawa to require full disclosure from drug manufacturers on planned or unexpected gaps in production.
Aglukkaq spokesman Steve Outhouse said a voluntary system was chosen because it would take too long for Health Canada to bring forward regulations mandating companies disclose production gaps.
"The website that tracks drug shortages is up and running now because of adopting a voluntary approach. Regulations can take years to pass, and would mean delays in getting this information to Canadians," Outhouse said in an email.
He added that a mandatory system will be considered if manufacturers do not voluntarily comply.
The issue of drug shortages came to the forefront in February when a Sandoz Canada plant providing 90 per cent of generic injectable anesthetics and other medications commonly used by hospitals cut production due to a facility upgrade and subsequent fire.
Cancer Society senior analyst Lauren Dobson-Hughes said the advocacy group regularly hears from patients struggling to hunt down therapeutic medications that do not pop up on the drug-shortage website.
"When cancer patients call, they say, 'I cannot get my hands on this drug for love nor money.' And yet it is not listed short," she said.
"We know that drug shortages are increasing, but because nobody's tracking them systemically on a mandatory basis, we still don't know where or how they're impacting patients," Dobson-Hughes added.
The Canadian Press obtained the internal Health Canada documents on drug shortages through the Access to Information Act.
Other records show a limited form of mandatory reporting was recommended in an exhaustive $25,000 report on drug shortages commissioned by Health Canada -- one of several times the department has probed the issue of shortage notices.
The July 2011 report by Secor Group advised that Health Canada give manufacturers no choice but to provide an immediate alert on outages of drugs produced by one or a small number of manufacturers.

13 Simple Reasons That Biking Is Better
13 Simple Reasons That Biking Is Better -- First of all, thanks to True Activist for posting this stuff online through its Facebook page. It is always great to know and share to others, these practical facts that are actually beneficial to man and the environment as well, amidst rapid motorization of many cities around the world.
Non-motorized transportation is surely one of the best alternatives to improve our deteriorating state of climate. Using it instead of our gas powered cars does not only save us some money but also improve our health and lifestyle as a whole. Here are some of the many benefits of riding a bicycle:
Most of the benefits that can be achieved by riding bicycle can be seen in the realm of physical fitness, environmental care, financial savings and traffic congestion solution. If only there is sincere discipline and regard to taking care of one's health and the built environment,increasing global fuel cost won't be as stressful to deal with, as it is today, because there is a waiting solution and alternative to battle our chaotic urban structure that is brought about by rapid urbanization.
On the other hand, Philippine's Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is on the right track of opening bike lanes in some major roads in the Metro. This, with proper integration to an upcoming intelligent transport system for the highway network of Metro Manila, I know the metro will be a better place to perform our usual trips.

Mopars moves forward smoothly under guidance of KCDCPosted: July 30, 2012
Mopars in the Rockies Car Show (July 20/21) opened with a bang and closed with plenty of positive feelings from the 114 entries.
(See photo tour of event at bottom.)
The annual classic/vintage car show, held at Cranbrook's Moir Park, had a rough start July 20.
With only a few car owners on hand at Moir Park for the Friday night Junk in Your Trunk sales event, with most of the rest keeping clear due to roiling, angry clouds that brought thrashing devastation to much of the city, it wasn't the best of beginnings for new event organizers, Kootenay Child Development Centre (KCDC).
But the organizers didn't let a few micro-bursts spoil their big weekend, nor did participants who once again enjoyed a bountiful sunny day on Saturday, with many hundreds of people taking in the sights at Moir.
"Even with the Friday night storm, we were still able to host the drive-in movie night featuring the movie 'Grease.' Although we did have to cut short our 'Junk in Your Trunk' swap meet on Friday. We had a lot of positive feedback about the event, participants left quite happy and pleased about many things, including the great selection of prizes and their goodie bags," remarked KCDC's Patricia Whalen.
The KCDC is looking forward to making Mopars a successful annual event, she added.
"This will continue to be an annual fundraiser for us – I have not got the figures yet on how much was raised, but I am sure it is in the thousands. Our committee has some great ideas for future Mopars to make it bigger and better," she said.
"A few suggestions were made as to what we could do for up and coming years, for example bringing back a dance. The public was very generous in making donations to the centre when coming through the gates at Moir during the car show. The City of Cranbrook was very helpful in setting up the venue for us. We had huge support from our volunteers and the event's success can be tracked right back to their dedication and time commitment to the event," Whalen stated.
"We had a wonderful amount of sponsorship from businesses, for example, Cranbrook Dodge, A & W, ABC Country Restaurant, Freightliner of Cranbrook, Giant Tiger and Teck were very kind in sponsoring the Drive-In Movie nights, Brother's Insurance Agency sponsored our volunteer t-shirts and Bridge Interiors sponsored our 'Best Seats in the House' auction. We had a large number of other businesses that donated door prizes, silent auction items and goodie bag items," Whalen outlined.
All funds raised from the event will go to the Kootenay Child Development Centre to finish off its $1.1 million capital project and help enhance programs and services.
