/not political
My thoughts exactly.
You reeeeally want to cross your T's and dot your I's.
Don't you mean lower case J's?
the "J" in "Jack-hole" is capitalized.
I'm really hoping this is a reference to "Earnest Goes to Jail" because that would make my evening.
Shrivell himself is a moron; nothing to worry about there, lawyer or not. But, I could almost see some organization taking his case on First Amendment grounds and trying to make something out of it.
about time...I knew he had been suspended
it heartens me that there are enough cool people around here to plusbang the bejesus out of it.
the Colbert Bump.
But wasn't the story on the Daily Show? Wasn't Shirvell interviewed by Jason Jones?
The first rule of going on the Daily Show/Colbert Report: if you don't see the ridiculousness/humor/irony of the segment, you should probably cancel. It will not end well for you.
I am continually astounded that these people still go on there. What are they thinking?
Well no wonder he hasn't seen the field much. He's got a lot on his plate.
Love how he doesn't understand the state's definition for cyberbullying and that the state's definition must have been defined "out of context".
What an absolute disgrace of a person. I wanted to punch him in the face after seeing all his tv appearances.
Does it count as political to say that I expect a contract offer from Fox news?
Fox claims to be a "un-biased" source of news.
They would just happen to really like Shirwell's "Family Values".
I think this also qualifies as political...
I don't think so. There's a difference between being a supporter of whatever views you have and being a dick. This guy was a huge dick; and now people hate him for it.
I was addressing the comment. Suggesting that Fox News and its viewers share Shirvell's beliefs and approve of his conduct is a political attack.
Finally. That guy was an asshole.
Thank you, I stand corrected
Twice in one day.
(you keep this up, they may have to name a building after you...)
for hate-mongers here. I pity the foo.
the ban from campus has been lifted. If I see him here, he will NOT get a nice welcome.
He can run and tell THAT. HOMEBOY.
Someone should ask Shrivell how it feels to be hated by his entire alumni base.
You have to wonder how someone that stupid got admitted...
Snyder, Rosenberg and Sharp.
They were all apparently highly rated according to Rivals and Scou, only ESPN was sceptical of their pad-level.
You know he was probably 'that guy' in class that always had his hand up objecting to a professor's comments or material and wasting class time debating and trying to further his douchebag platform.
As bad as his personal hate campaign was, what probably did him in at the end was his repeated television appearances. This made it virtually impossible that the MI attorney's office would not take action, as it embarrassed the office and undermined public trust beyond what the initial blog postings did. He should have known it was not feasible for the public to separate his personal views from that of a MI official, once he gets on national television and starts to explain his views.
Don't care what your views are, what he did was way out of line.
Andrew Shirvell is the ONLY PERSON who is protecting us from the Gay Nazi Movement. And why is that, do you think?
/Searches Wikipedia for "Gay Nazi Movement"
/Googles "Gay Nazi Movement"
Oh. Never mind.
Well obviously you didn't find anything, because it's Chris' "Radical Homosexual Agenda" that is really threatening the student body! AHHH WATCH OUT THEY'VE ALREADY GOT ME ABOUT HALFWAY, SAVE YOURSELVES!

"I traveled two hours to find a room filled with the same administrators and human resources people, but their minds had been made up," Thomas said. "I can only imagine the political machinations that happened between last week and now, but I feel my client has been wronged." I wonder if by political machinations he means the "UM Alumni Network" pimp hand (not to be confused with DB's pimp hand). I don't care who you are or what you're political leanings are, when you're dedicating your time to slinging mud at a kid going to school here I want to see our alumni network own your ass.
Edit: As a side comment Shrivell also had a record of going after Michigan Review and Michigan Daily editors during his time at Michigan and Ave Maria Law. The guy basically hates everyone.
the student body President has the support of the Football Team.
Mike Cox said in a statement issued by his office today. "Ultimately, Mr. Shirvell's conduct has brought his termination from state service.
... I assume this is one of those /s posts right? If so, nice.
That's why Cox hasn't been playing. Running for governor takes alot outta ya.
He is too predictable; he runs to the right almost every time.
It might be challenging for him to find another job. Not just because of the job climate.
Guy did time at Ave Maria Law (which thankfully is no longer in Ann Arbor). Odds are he'll go get a job with some wackjob group or move down to the little Ave Maria commune stuff the old CEO of Dominos is building.
What about the commune. It's great if they want to do something like that, don't be such a hater.
My best friend was Shirvell's freshman year roommate, and most of my group were from that hall. The kid was a total dick then, too -- even our two Christian conservatives couldn't stand him.
It's weird to see him getting all of this notoriety. In college I figured he had to be the craziest person in the country -- like worthy of being on the national news or the Guiness Book of World Records for actually being the most ridiculous caricature of a political nutbag asshole, but as the years progressed I guess I attributed that to the hyperbole of youthful experience, figuring everybody had that guy in their hall. I mean, have you met the people on the Internet? Weren't they all Shirvells?
But no. If Shirvell actually is a national news-worthy prick, then I have so much more faith in humanity now, because it's not like I met that guy who's one out of every few hundred -- I met that guy who was actually just the world's biggest dick.
It would be like if you went to school with Kim Jong Il in Malta in the '70s, and you were writing letters home to your friends talking about this midget Korean with a lisp who talked about invading America one day and nobody would believe you that the little fuck was actually that crazy, and then he becomes the Supreme Leader of a midget nation and you're like HA! SEE? I TOLD YOU!

If there is any single thing which I believe most strongly, it is that we all have the capacity to bring our most cherished dreams to life. What is required is motivating goals, discipline, honesty, and sufficient personal power to ACT.
Life is a wonderful, complex, demanding game. The way to win is to decide what you want, focus on that goal, surround yourself with people who will support your dream, and nurture the ability to laugh at yourself.

I like this possibility that she might actually have done more harm than good by creating the DCnU, because ever since she mentioned when she first appeared that it was to make this world stronger by merging them I've looked at it and went "How is making all the characters younger and getting rid of some of them making this world stronger?" So I like that Phantom Stranger is kind of calling her out on only thinking she made it stronger.
These are good points, especially the one about Nick Cage, but also we just have to remember that Ghost Rider, even in the comics isn't that popular anymore. And I know that a lot of folks are going to go "What are you talking about? I love him!" Yes, yes you do, YOU love him, the majority of readers no longer care. Marvel gave him a series that didn't even make it to double digits recently, same goes for the team book he was just on, and right before both of those they gave him another series that only lasted about a year and a half I believe, maybe two years, either way that's not a good sign. One day he will be popular again, but for now he needs to go into hiding so he can one day make that comeback.
I still don't really like the lightning bolt suspenders look on Electro, but I'm glad to see the Sinister Six being a real threat once again.
Yes they should and I'll tell you why. Look at characters like Bane or Venom or Taskmaster, these are characters who are very popular because everyone says they're total bad asses, and because of that tons of writers want to use them in their books. However, because they're villains, they do have to lose whenever they show up. So after years of constantly popping up in books only to be beat down, they no longer really seem all that cool, they even seem kind of weak. However, if you give a good villain their own book, then we can see just how nasty and dangerous they are, because in their own book they're actually allowed to win.
So far I can tell two things from Earth 2 - One being that it doesn't sound like the comic I thought it would be, and the other being that Superman's outfit on Earth 2 looks much better than the one in the New 52, mostly because it doesn't look like he need's Tony Stark's tech to suit up.
I still miss and prefer the old Blue Beetle series, I miss the more uplifting tone and the focus on his strong and supportive friends and family. But that being said, I still have to admit that while this book is totally different from the last one, it's still a good series that deserves to stick around.
@NightFang said:The Indie comic companies need to get together and lunch one big ad campaign for all there comics.Not a bad idea.

Stage Rally Reconnaissance: The Art of War
Cracking the Terrain Code
Tracking along with the stage notes, every inch of the course was painstakingly covered with a laser-like focus. In that spiral-bound book: Speeds are rated on a scale from one to six – with nuances signaled by plus and minus signs – along with distances to the next turn, and to what degree. Noted crests, jumps, hazards, water, and an insane variety of other observations likewise helped the team.
Norkus read aloud with a practiced cadence that became a hypnotizing chant. "… left five minus, one hundred, small crest into left five …" then Weir drove through it.
"There's a rock on the left after the turn, so mark us to stay right," Weir responded. The unspoken theme of the drive is felt by all: a single oversight, a fraction of a degree off on a turn tomorrow, and it's over. The enemy wins.
Opposing forces litter the field cunningly, despite some – such as sharp rocks – being marked with bright red paint. But the enemy that instills a special kind of fear in even the most experienced driver's heart is virtually invisible: soft dirt.
When stopping to walk the road, stepping off the tire-hardened track caused boots to sink immediately, as if in quicksand. Do the same at top speed? Catastrophic. The softness would suck traction and control from the car, just as deep, slushy snow does in winter.
Not helping matters, many of the roadside embankments looked ready to crumble into mini-avalanches, slippery with eons of composted decay. The beauty of the surroundings started to take on a quietly menacing tone.
Mission Impossible, Made Possible
The courses are shockingly violent; some of the most beautiful areas turned out to be minefields: extremely narrow, heavily gouged roads, soft dirt, and yet another silent adversary – hidden pockets of dust that erased any visibility. In fact, over the next two days of racing, dust caused a number of incidents.
Recce proved just how important trust is to create a solid rally team. The driver needs to have complete faith in the co-driver's translation of the stage notes, and the co-driver must be perfectly in sync with the driver.
When Norkus was asked about sitting passenger to some of New England's most breathtaking scenery, he said he could hardly comment. "I have to just focus on the notes and try to stay ahead for Rob."
Spoken like a true soldier.

The Opposition walked out of the Assembly on Monday in protest against the government's failure to evict the encroachers on government land in and around Munnar.
The walk out came at the end of a discussion on the encroachments and problems of the settlers in Idukki district taken up on the basis of an adjournment motion moved by Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan of Congress.
Leading the walk out, Opposition Leader Oommen Chandy said that the LDF government had failed to take any action against the encroachers over the past four years of LDF rule. The encroachers were all LDF men and none had been arrested.
Replying to the debate, Chief Minister V. S. Achuthanandan said that the government would take action demanded by the Opposition such as reclaiming government lands encroached upon by a private company and others, solving of the problems of settlers and allocation of land to tribals. However, no time limit could be specified for evicting the encroachers because of court cases.
The Chief Minister said that any omissions or erroneous inclusion of names in the report of the Collector on the encroachments filed before the High Court would be corrected after due examination. He took the contention of the Opposition Leader that no UDF leader was in the list of encroachers at its face value. However, the government would carefully examine whether any names had been omitted from the affidavit filed before the Court.
"If LDF leaders are among the encroachers, they will be the first to be evicted", Mr. Achuthanandan said in reply to Mr. Chandy. The Opposition Leader, who demanded eviction of all the encroachers, had said earlier that if UDF leaders were involved, they could be the first to be evicted.
Revenue Minister K. P. Rajendran said that the government was considering take over of Munnar town from the control of the Kannan Devan Hills Plantation Company. The government had directed the local self governments under the Panchayat Raj Act to stop the Company from using its estate bungalows for tourism.
The Minister said that 35 criminal cases had been registered and 88 persons arrested for encroaching upon government land. The government proposed to issue titles to about 32500 settlers in Idukki district shortly. Titles had already been issued to nearly 14000 tribal families in the State.
Forest Minister Benoy Viswam said that that the UDF had misled the farmers in Idukki district, campaigning that the government proposed to notify three taluks in the district as ecologically fragile.
He emphasised that the government would enforce the Kerala Grants and Leases (Modification of Rights) Rules, covering the Kannan Devan and Harrisons Malayalam plantations.

The term describes the last few months of the Obama Administration, which Bee describes as "a disaster stuffed inside a travesty wrapped in incompetence." This holiday season, it may be more popular with your Republican relatives than grandma's famous turducken.

PoliticsNew IAEA report may not shift Iran policy UN nuclear watchdog's latest report on Iran largely reinforces what Western countries already believed, analysts say. Gregg Carlstrom | 09 Nov 2011 17:55 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, France, Israel The IAEA report certified that Iran was not diverting its nuclear fuel for military purposes [EPA] The latest report from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, hyped before its release as a potential watershed, is unlikely to do much to shift international policy on Iran's nuclear programme, analysts say. French foreign minister Alain Juppe called for a meeting of the UN Security Council to discuss the report, and the White House hinted at possible further economic sanctions on Iran. But reaction to the report has otherwise been quite muted. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report, released on Tuesday (pdf), does make it difficult for Tehran to claim, as it has before, that its nuclear programme is entirely for civilian purposes. Much of the report confirms the military applications of research conducted prior to 2003, like the construction of a "containment vessel" used to test prototype explosives for use in nuclear weapons. "While some of the activities identified in the annex have civilian as well as military applications, others are specific to nuclear weapons," the agency noted in the report, referring to a section of the report which outlines Iran's research efforts. Yet the report does not conclude that Iran has restarted its nuclear weapons programme, which was officially suspended in late 2003. The IAEA certified that Iran has not diverted any of its stockpiled low-enriched uranium for military purposes. And US officials, citing their own intelligence, said that Iran "still has not mastered" any of the complex technologies required to produce a nuclear weapon. The report, in other words, seems largely to confirm what most analysts and intelligence services already believed: that Iran has studied how to design a nuclear weapon. But it offers no new evidence on how close Iran is to finishing one, analysts say, or even whether it is actively trying to build one. "The report suggests that Iran is working to shorten the timeframe to building the bomb once and if it makes that decision," said a memo from the Arms Control Association, a Washington-based think tank. "But it remains apparent that a nuclear-armed Iran is still not imminent nor is it inevitable." 'Most of this is not new' Many of the findings in the report which deal with a possible weapons programme - alleged modifications to the Shahab-3 missile, for example, which could be used to deliver a nuclear warhead - have been disclosed previously, either by Western intelligence services or in other IAEA reports. "Most of this has been known to experts for several years," said Joseph Cirincione, the president of the Ploughshares Fund, a nuclear policy organisation in Washington. "What's different is that for the first time it's out of the... internal workings of the IAEA, and being presented on the world stage, with the imprimatur of the agency's head." The report does attempt to add new details to several of these findings, particularly about the so-called "green salt project," an alternate method of enriching uranium. If successful, it could theoretically allow Iran to spin off a separate nuclear programme free of IAEA oversight. But experts say such an undertaking would be enormously difficult to keep secret. The "green salt" programme was first publicly disclosed in 2006, based on information on a laptop which an unnamed source brought to the IAEA in 2004. Analysts have long questioned the authenticity of the files on that computer, often pejoratively dubbed the "laptop of death." Mohamed ElBaradei, the former director of the IAEA, admitted in the past that the agency often struggled to verify information on Iran's nuclear programme, much of it supplied by Western governments. Tuesday's release does reveal a few new details about Iran's research. There is the "explosives vessel," for example, a large cylinder built at the Parchin military complex southeast of Tehran, which is used to test nuclear devices, according to the IAEA. "From independent evidence, including a publication by the foreign expert referred to in paragraph 44 above, the Agency has been able to confirm the date of construction of the cylinder and some of its design features (such as its dimensions), and that it was designed to contain the detonation of up to 70 kilograms of high explosives." The IAEA calls the vessel a single-use structure, a "strong indicator of possible weapon development." An understated reaction There was little immediate reaction to the report in Washington or in European capitals. The White House called the report significant, but emphasised the questions it failed to answer. "The IAEA report does not assert that Iran has resumed a full-scale nuclear weapons program, nor does it have a conclusion about how advanced those activities are, but clearly indicates there are activities of concern," said a senior administration official. US intelligence agencies continue to stand behind an official estimate, released in 2007, that Iran's nuclear weapons programme was mostly stopped in 2003. Reaction in Israel was also muted. Iran's nuclear programme has been a hot issue there for several weeks, ever since Nahum Barnea, a respected political journalist, published a column in Yediot Aharonot which accused the government of rushing into a war with Iran. Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, and Ehud Barak, the defence minister, were pushing for military action "in the total absence of any public debate," Barnea wrote. Ahmadinejad promised not to retreat "one iota" on the nuclear programme during a speech on Wednesday [EPA] Netanyahu reportedly told his cabinet not to discuss the IAEA's findings in public, according to Ha'aretz. But his office issued a statement on Wednesday, saying the international community "must bring about the cessation of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons"."The IAEA report corroborates the position of the international community, and of Israel that Iran is developing nuclear weapons," Netanyahu said.Tzipi Livni, the opposition leader, also called on world countries to "halt Tehran's weapons programme." The US official said the Obama administration was studying possible sanctions against people affiliated with Iran's nuclear programme; Russia's deputy foreign minister, meanwhile, said on Wednesday that his country would not endorse further sanctions. "The important point is that most of Iran's alleged weapons work was conducted before 2003," said Shashank Joshi, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London. "In other words, I don't quite see a rush to war or any such panic. More likely, the US government will use these findings as a diplomatic tool to reinforce a sanctions regime that it sees as promising but leaky." The loudest reaction came from Iran, where president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad condemned the report and promised not to retreat "an iota" from the country's nuclear programme. A longer rebuttal was published by the Islamic Republic News Agency, the Iranian government's official news agency. It described the IAEA report as "unfounded claims by the US [and] Zionists."Source: Al Jazeera

I can't remember my friends names but I still remember the every move in any Street Fighter game, ever. I'm an absurdist existentialist with shades of zen taoism, but call me that and I'll deny it. I own a Wii, a DS and frequently partake of my friends other 360's and PS3's. Games are art. Games are new media that must be understood.

Not video game related (IHUIA), I withdrew from Uni to become a pro wrestler!
on 05.06.2008
IHUIA is an acronym for I Hate Using Internet Acronyms put there purely for the sake of saving an unloved joke from the gas chamber. That's where bad jokes go, like all the unloved puppies of the world.
At any rate, I've bought and played through No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki, planning on getting Mario Kart Wii and Wii fit as soon as I get paid. Mulling over a PS3 GTAIV pack but damn they are still pretty fucking pricey.
I stopped thinking about games and the other things that entertain me to focus on uni, but then I got some more hours at work and subsequently now work five nights a week. I was thinking that the only hassle on the horizon was the the omnipresent threat of looming assessment, which I hate, after all, why can't I just learn without being rated? But that's neither here nor there. The point is I dropped that shit and have gone to work full time.
I'm also training to be a pro-wrestler, finally, at the PWA.
The look on my parents faces when the phrase "I've dropped out of Uni to become a pro-wrestler", was uttered were truly priceless.
That aside, though I am likely to bring it up at every opportunity (hey, I've wanted to do this my whole life), I am looking forward to throwing myself at the things I love, like gaming and the possibility of more gaming and whining about crap on Destructoid.
Goddamn it feels good to not have anything to care about but which order I'm buying my next wave of games in.
Wiifit? Mario Kart? The World Ends With You?
Huzzah, nothing but potential fun!
Not enough hours in the day...the best and last (for a while) of soul3150
on 03.13.2008
I used to post here quite regularly. Be it
of the gaming
and the
who populate it,
as a media or
, it was all done (
) with a love of (
) gaming and
my enjoyment of this site
Much was the time spent talking on a range of topics with other bloggers or editors and I enjoyed it all, I also enjoyed playing games, but this is something I just don't seem to have time for anymore. Well, for at least the next twelve weeks.
Uni has begun once more and I have taken extra hours at work to help pay for books and (soon) a laptop to further enhance my learnin'. But I have begun to realize something. With Monday to Friday taken up with Uni and the weekend (as well as Tuesday and Wednesday) taken up with work, I haven't got a spare goddamn minute to really immerse myself in another game. About all I can do is square away a moment or two for some TF2 or SF3, but I can't bring myself to begin a game that requires more dedication.
I've been wanting to buy Zack and Wiki for a while now, not to mention No More Heroes, but I just can't spend the hours they deserve to be played. It's not that I don't have spare time, just that the time that I do have is usually taken up with naps to counter the exhaustion. Add to this the fact I have about 12 eps of Sam and Max to play as well as KOTOR 1&2 a friend loaned me and you can see that I've more games than there is time.
Same as my posting here. I used to visit daily, even hourly, and be moved to write and contribute to the discussions as this was something I genuinely enjoyed. Due obviously to the fact that I have no real GAMER friends. But I log on knackered with little motivation to read anything let alone write. I've been reading "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Friere and that book has a talent for taking it out of you mentally (on a side note it is a brilliant read), so I just don't have the brains left to pop in and read a whole piece let alone add a meaningful contribution.
It bugs me that my life has undergone such a huge damn shift in focus that I am being forced to leave behind once all-consuming and deeply fulfilling hobbies.
Though, I suppose that "leave behind" is not the right way to put it, more of a "put on hold" situation. I'll be on hiatus for about 3 months, but come break, I'm gonna drill through every goddamn game in my back catalogue and come to my PC with my eyes bleeding in joy to write about it.
God I'm fucking tired.
Can PAL just die and go away now please?
on 02.25.2008
I'll start this off by saying that I know little of the nuts and bolts of screens and definitions etc. When my more tech savvy friends start with their hd-1080p-whatever-the-fuck talk I tend to space out and think about butterflies and how they should be called flutterby's and how they will bring doom to us all.
The little I do know stretches about as far as knowing that PAL sucks filthy pleb dick for booze money. I may be mistaken, and if I am please feel free to correct me (I can't be arsed researching it), but NTSC display is meant to be better in the first place. But fine, Europe (and that still, mystifyingly, includes Australia) had a different system from the get go, sure, great, whatever.
That was fine a whiles back when all we got here were PAL tv's, but these days every goddamn one has NTSC support, even the shitty cheap one I recently bought.
Which brings me to my question of WHY IN THE MOTHERFUCKING HELL are games still zoned to PAL when they could all be bloody NTSC and I wouldn't have to wait for goddamn Smash Brothers. PAL is gone it lost the...whatever-the-fuck war and NTSC is king and we can all play games for it.
But no, now I gotta wait longer while the NTSC region gets it and starts playing which'll suck cause then they'll have a load of practise in and by the time I take my Wii out for some well supervised online fun I'll be getting bitchslapped back and forth by some bastard 13 year old American kid. And he'll probably have a bunch of stupid net acronyms as his little comment things and he'll tease me so at my lack of skills and I'll say I've only just got it and he will simply mock me further. God I hate him. Goddamn PAL bullshit. Fucking flutterby's.
Games can make my mind do some pretty odd things.
on 02.24.2008
I am a man of many minds. Not to the level of Fight Club, or even any diagnosable multiple personality disorder, more like a captain (me) in charge of a bunch of other people (ensigns mostly). They do what I tells them to do, most of the time, but they all function as independent units.
Case and point: my sense of humour. My mind will run off on it's own tangents, often against my will, and come up with nonsense all for its own amusement.
This is manifest in something that happened while playing Team Fortress 2 a little while back.
I had been killed by the unusually named sniper "Spiderman Delight", which then started a corner of my brain on creating lyrics to "Afternoon Delight", but with a Spiderman theme. Why? Beats the fuck outta me, but here is what I came up with before I had to leave the PC and chant "Om mane padme om" to still my torn psyche.
Gonna sling my webbing,
Gonna grab it tight,
Gonna get me some Spiderman Delight
Green Goblins always saying that he wants to fight
and the thought of hitting him is getting so exciting
He may be my best friends dad but that's okay
I'm not gonna let him go and blow me away
Pumpkin Bombs in flight. Spiderman Delight.
I hate that I got that far, that should never have been thought, let alone written. I do it now only to purge it.
Then there was what happened while I was playing Third Strike earlier today. I was Urien and my opponent was Oro, a typically easy match that I ended with Urien's sit-down powerbomb throw. As an aside, if there's a problem that can't be solved with a sit-down powerbomb, I don't wanna hear about it.
Then I paused it and got up to get a drink. When I came back I saw this.
What ran through my head, completely against my will, was a trashy romance novel based around Urien and Oro.
"Urien crouched, his enourmous manhood scarcely concealed behind a thin layer of cloth. Oro dared not stir, he had wanted this for so long but the cruel glare of a disapproving society had kept his desire at bay. But now, as he lay prone, Urien had finally given into his lust and dared what they had both so desired, and yet, both so feared.
Urien slid his hands up Oro's age withered but powerful thigh, shifting aside the paupers rags that had, for so long, concealed the object of Uriens lust."
It was, naturally, at this point that I had to go vomit a little and return to my PC and watch a bunch of those videos what where the girlies touch each other and stuff.
I can't switch this crap off. I'm considering medication as an option...
Good Idea/Bad Idea: Jack Thompson on Destructoid.
on 02.17.2008
Having just read Jims post, and visiting Jack's sparse profile page (c'mon Jack, spice it up with some headers or avatars, a snappy Anne Coulter one perhaps) my mind leaped for joy at the idea that he was actually here reading this site.
Mainly because of this.
But as I began to think on it, I saw the duel edged blade I was wielding in all of it's traitorous splendour.
Good Idea.
It will put Thomspon into direct communication with some of the best gaming lifestyle philosphers around, simple as that. Destructoid is the only site I have bothered to join, let alone contribute to, as it appears to be the only place on the net where gaming discussion crawls out of the "lol gay faggzzz" ooze and actually articulates itself with intelligence and consideration.
There is the possibility Thompson believes what he is doing and isn't engaged in a purely cynical book selling tour on the backs of the dead, therefore this contact is necessary. It will allow Thompson to see gamers that are not the crude construct of decade old stereotypes he seems to be operating on which is great as something that doesn't fit the pre-existing stereotype will force the brain into re-evaluation of his opinion. Hopefully, this re-evaluation might lead to a somewhat moderated view of gaming as opposed to the totally negative view he has now.
Secondly, and I might add selfishly, it will put us into contact with him. You know all those good discussions we've had over the months about this? The ones where we came up with many a point about the absurdity and outright idiocy of his campaign against games? How we all had great ideas we wished we could tell him in person, to finally give him a well prepared slice of our collective minds?
Well good news! He's here, has a profile and is, I presume, reading this stuff. So time to break out all the old genius cause now it's target has arrived.
On a personal note (and I am breaking many of my own rules here, but...fuck it), Jack you are a cretin who mistakes correlation for cause and invents connections where there aren't even any. You are a shameless whore peddling your book on the backs of people who have died in horrible circumstances by giving the grieving and the confused a simple target to hate, an incorrect target I might add. You have wandered into a group of people who know what they are talking about and will spank you back to your lair of ignorance with actual checked facts and a basic understanding of confounding variables, you are a laughing stock, you will be thoroughly schooled here and I look forward to your first blog post.
Bad Idea.
This is still the internets. Destructoid is good, but the filter isn't immediate or perfect, idiots will still get in and will (probably are as I type) inundate him with messages of crude profanity with no thought behind it. Jack will latch onto these as being indicative of the gaming culture and ignore everything else to suit his stereotype as admitting he has been wrong on anything is impossible for him now.
This could easily become another way for him to use his terribly skewed perception of reality to cast gaming in a negative light because, let's face it, the man is not acquainted with logic, honest debate or any real idea at all. Our points will fall on deaf ears and all of our shining brilliance will not penetrate the void that is that mans mind. It will be as standing and butting our collective head against a stone, fucking futile and leaving us with a terrible headache.
He will ONLY use any presence on this site to whip people into a rage which he can then point to as proof of his lunacy. The trouble is we can all fall for it, letting our emotions slip just a little, and while it will be due to the frustration of dealing with a fool, he will say it's all the Street Fighter I've been playing.
In closing, I just wish we could ignore him, but that simply isn't possible. He has the ear of the ill-informed, fitting as he is their Emperor, and so when he peddles his nonsense in his fancy new clothes, the fools listen. Then we are forced to defend our art against a pile of people who don't understand what they are angry at. So even though ignoring it is the only solution, it is nigh impossible.
I suppose this is just the paradox we face and it is ours to bear and that is all there is to it. We need a sword to fight and a double edged one is the only one available. We have to swing it but we must take care to cut ourselves as little as possible in the process, a duel of attrition, one that we don't want and, as usual, one we can't avoid.
Reposting this for the sake of Thompson.
on 02.17.2008
If my hero Jack Thompson has taught me anything, and repeated readings of his masterpiece garbed only in sanctified gamer blood has taught me all kinds of things, it's that it's okay to engage in certain acts as a means to an end.
See, when you need to get something done, something noble, something heroic, it is okay to make some sacrifices. Sort of like Jesus, but instead of sacrificing himself and denying the world a vital leader in the fight against these "video-games", Jack sacrifices other things. Like his dignity and reputation after mailing a sitting Judge some homosexual porn. Did any of you thank Jack for that sacrifice, hmm? Let he who is without a public record of unsolicited homo-erotic mail outs to high ranked legal officials cast the first stone on that one. Oh, there will be no stones thrown today as we can all see the male on male mail within our own hearts. This is what Jack has taught us
I was reading his prophecy, aloud, just last night, upside down in an EB I'd broken into, in the hopes that his incantations would summon a great magnetic field, or Thompson Shroud, to delete the evil when I realized what must be done.
I must single handedly save the world from the evil of video games, but it will take sacrifice.
The first enemy I must defeat are these things called "facts". I have never heard of them before but my only encounter with them has assured me that they are demonic spawns from the inky depths that had previously known no description. These horrors allow games to be made and sold on the basis that there is no "factual" (there's the devil! Right there! See it?!) causal relationship between exposure to interactive violent media and increased violence.
But the killers OWNED GAMES. There! Ha ha! Your own devil facts turned on you as the great deciever is want to do, some might say that this is an unrelated correlation that gives no-one a possible reason to draw a causal conclusion, like my assertion that me putting my pants on in the morning makes the sun rise. Well, it has every day so far and I shudder to think of the nightmare world we would be plunged into were I to forego pants and halt the very sun itself. If I do something and something else happens, no matter how many confounding variables, it is a direct link. TAKE THAT FACTS!
But that is not enough. The septic ooze has already polluted the humours of the younglings, now not even a level 15 Thompson Shroud is enough. They are dead already, living only to spread the disease. Thompson has spoken to me, through the medium of TV static, and I know what I must do.
The little children must die, all for their own good. And when I am done, all will know it was as a DIRECT RESULT of the writings and oratory of Jack Thompson and not anything to do with any other "problems" my case worker says I have. Her kids are first.
For God and Thompson.

To Alex (IBCrazy),
Hi!. Noob here. I have a Skywalker with with an AR7000 RX. I bought a 500mw 900mhz FPV system from ReadymadeRC and mounted the video RX on the flat section on the Sw's tail. I also bought one of your Vee antennas from RMC and installed it on a flat stick protruding from the SW's tail just behind the RX. I also have a low pass filter between the Video TX and the Antenna. I mounted the video camera on the top section of the SW with a servo for panning. When I tested the the system, I could only make some 500 to 700 yds range estimate on the FPV before the signal becomes scratchy then I have to turn back. It is to note that I fly with an 8dBi patch antenna oriented about 35-45 deg, 6 inches from the ground. I fly on an open farm land with a cell tower about a mile away. My questions: 1. Does my placement of the vid TX affecting its range? I placed my RC receiver inside the fuselage. I also wound up the servo wires, even the video/ audio cables, with ferrite rings. Is it better to mount the video tx and antenna on a wing rather than the tail? 2. Does the cell site tower also affect the transmission of 900mhz signal of the FPV system? I fly away from the tower on my sorties. 3. Lastly, when I flew yesterday, I lost all my control outputs, including throttle. Good thing the Skywalker is a floater and it glided gently to the ground. I inspected the receiver and the leds were not blinking so there was no brownout. Strange but can the 900mhz system cause this phenomenon? Thanks a lot! Gent |

Engineers never try to make a product perfect - they try to find a good balance of functional reliability and cost. The park receivers could be more reliable, but if they cost $100, would anybody use them? |
Aug 22, 2011, 06:51 PM | ||
1. Mounting on the wing would help. so would mounting it on the BOTTOM of the tail as close to the ground as possible. The wing would be better, though. 2. Absolutely. Chances are that's your biggest problem. 3. Just because the RX didn't specify a brown out doesn't mean it didn't happen. If you lost all control, you lost signal. Any VTX can have that effect if it is close to the RX. -Alex |
Aug 22, 2011, 07:02 PM | |
Signal loss and brown-out are not the same thing. The "blinking indication" of the Spek receivers indicates a brown-out, NOT a signal loss. To detect signal losses, you need the data log reader, and a high-end RX which logs the data. Many people confuse these situations and that is part of the reason why "on the internet" Spek brown-outs look like a much bigger problem than they are - because almost any problem anybody ever has with the system, they call it a brown-out. It's a fairly specific term, meaning a significant loss of power, but not total loss of power. One of my friends recently flew his plane up to the LVC, and had to land because the motor wouldn't run any more - when he posted the video, he put "Spektrum Brown-out" in the video title. So, this situation is very commonly misunderstood.

ok guys well I am thinking of getting a fpv set up and was wondering what the best bundle package was these days. I really dont want to have the cheapest thing out there where you cant tell what your looking at and the signal goes in and out all the time but something that has a nice clear picture, good range, and a great set up to have for a long time that can be upgraded. I live up on a hill over looking the farm I grew up on and can see my dads cows and such out there and thought it would be neat to have a good set up to sit out on the deck and "go for a flight" any suggestions?

UIElement.CacheMode property
Gets or sets a value that indicates that rendered content should be cached as a composited bitmap when possible.
<uiElement CacheMode="BitmapCache" />
Property value
Type: CacheMode
A value that indicates that rendered content should be cached as a composited bitmap when possible. If you specify a value of CacheMode, rendering operations from RenderTransform and Opacity execute on the GPU, if available. The default is null, which does not enable a cached composition mode.
Set this value to enable the caching behavior that offloads RenderTransform and Opacity bitmaps to the GPU. Otherwise, leave it as null.
For XAML, the string literal "BitmapCache" is the only enabled value you can use to set CacheMode as an attribute.
Note BitmapCache is the only existing practical derived classes in the Windows Runtime API that enables this behavior (the CacheMode type is an intermediate type that exists only for infrastructure and legacy reasons).
If setting CacheMode in code, set it to a new value of BitmapCache, like this:
Do not generally apply CacheMode values to elements without testing and profiling first. Caching to the GPU is intended only for a minority of possible rendering situations for an app, and it's expected that you will profile various combinations of when and where in your UI to apply a CacheMode setting. Overuse of CacheMode can hurt performance rather than help it. It's best to profile the app surface area to determine which targeted areas are most expensive to render, and to experiment with caching only certain elements based on those results. For more info on how to profile for rendering, see IsOverdrawHeatMapEnabled and "Cache static content" section of the Optimize loading XAML topic.
Avoid using CacheMode and storyboarded animations together. Caching content where Opacity or RenderTransform are animated causes the animations to become dependent animations, even if the animation is zero-duration. To even see those animations run you'd have to set EnableDependentAnimation to true, and a dependent animation usually invalidates all the performance gains you might get from caching the composition. Opacity often is animated by visual states in control templates, so this is a consideration even if you aren't declaring any of your own storyboarded animations in XAML pages.

The tour continues to Nanya, a coastline filled with amazing rock formations, a sea-eroded coral shore. The patterned stone is unique in Taiwan and formed through the weathering of the sandstone that lines the shore. The oxidation of iron ore within the stone gives it a beautiful striped pattern.
Travel to the quaint little village of Chiufen Village (Jiufen), once the gold mining center of Taiwan. The gold is gone, but Chiufen (Jiufen) built of closely-packed houses clinging to steep mountainsides, continue to offer enchanting scenery, unique teahouses and fascinating glimpses into the lifestyles of the past.

Coordination and collaboration practices; decision making and judgement; crowdsourcing for innovation; evidence-based healthcare and healthcare resource management practices.
My primary research interests revolve around the micro-dynamics (practices) of coordination and decision making in organizational settings. In particular, I am interested in how practitioners, individually and collectively, experience and cope with challenges of coordination in their everyday work situations and how they attempt to cross various boundaries (e.g., task-specific, temporal, epistemic) in order to coordinate. My research also examines how practitioners, with a focus on expert groups, make judgements and decisions in bewildering situations (e.g., when faced with moral dilemmas relating to resource allocation) and how judgement making may be affected by pressures for transparency and accountability.
More recently, I have been studying the emergence of crowdsourcing as a novel IT-enabled organizational model for innovation. I have also been exploring potential consequences with regard to the diverse approaches (ranging from e.g., design thinking to broadcast search) organizational actors could adopt to generate novel ideas and innovate.
I generally employ qualitative methods (e.g., field observations, interviews) and make use of social theories, such as practice theories and pragmatic sociology.
