ah, the sun, sand and surf of CNY -- simply the best on the planet!!! :violent_suicide: [/quote] Ugh, that does look miserable as all shit. [/quote] And it is. I don't know why your qq text isn't getting parsed sometimes. (Putting a space after qq shouldn't matter.) I do see that in the mail where your qq text came through, the mail protocol bullshit has a certain token that isn't in the mail where the qq text got dropped. Next time it happens (or if you can find another instance of it happening in this thread), message me and I'll see if that pattern means anything.

[quote]VanishingNexus: That use to be the great thing about the net, but now there is always some ass that feels the need to critique everything. [/quote] al gore invented the interwebs so that ppl could take out their take out their daily frustrations from having been shat on by other ppl whom they have no power over (i.e. their boss/spouse/parents). the basic principle is that the best way to lift oneself up is by dragging another below. btw, an allusion is a reference to a well known (i.e. famous) person/place/event that adds deeper contextual meaning. not merely a suggestion that you make indirectly (thats what is called an implication). see, now i feel better about myself.

Wotak on Night Shots

The church is front-lit with ground mounted halogen lamps. This is a yellowish-white light. The other photos are lit by regular street lights which are more of an orange-yellow light. These are in Marine City, MI. You can't quite see Detroit from this location. The first photo is upriver and the light pollution in the horizon is Port Huron, MI on the left edge and Sarnia, ON on the other side of the river. If I took a photo downriver, toward Detroit, it'd be black. Detroit is just too far away. Flint, Detroit and Sarnia form a big equilateral triangle. I'm just to the right of it, between Sarnia and Detroit. Clicky map here:

Crackalackin on Tell me about: TV antennas

[quote]magicchex: I also read a post in a forum saying if you just hook up the TV to the cable coax, certain channels the cable company leaves un-encrypted? Is there any truth to this? [/quote] Yes. Depends on the company and the city, but usually nothing too exciting, just the local channels in HD. Some people get the Cartoon Network and Comedy Channel. You do need a QAM decoder for the cable, which is different from the OTA signals.

Lefen on What I have read in 2009

Yes, I've read more than one book this year so far, but this was the first one I've read for ages that I've truly hated, and I've pretty much been fantasizing about ripping it to shreds on the internet since starting it. Thankfully, I used the extra hours spent commuting on the shockingly-bad London bus network over the last few days to finally finish the bloody thing. Anyway. Darwin's Radio - Greg Bear Firstly, I realise that this book was probably published about 10 years ago. Yes, I'm slow to catch up. Anyway, I first heard of it a few months back in a Slashdot thread about evolution or some shit, or was it on Reddit? Can't tell, but anyway, somewhere on the internet, there are references to this book in comment threads relating to science articles. This is all the background that's needed. For those who don't know it, Darwin's Radio is a Sci-Fi "disaster" novel, in which a human endogenous retrovirus emerges and promotes a human speciation event. Yes, re-read that last sentence and try to parse it, because here comes the first, and major problem with this book: it is filled with page after mind-numbly boring page of science, half-baked and presented up to the reader without apology or explanation. Let me try to explain. You know how on ER, the patient arrives on a gurney and all the doctors swarm around a babble all their ER doctor talk and noone knows WTF they're saying because we aren't doctors? Well, on ER, it doesn't actually matter, because you still get to see the action and see what the docs are up to, and eventually work out what a heamotoma is because the bloke has a fucking huge one on his leg or something? Yeah. Darwin's Radio is like that, execpt there's no "action" whatsoever. The vast majority of this complete shitheap of a book consists of characters attending meeting after boring meeting that goes on for pages, and pages and pages, consisting of nothing but scientific buzzwords collected like sweeties from the back of a biology textbook. Look, I'm not trying to slate a book just because it hasn't been "dumbed down" for a general audience, but really, I've got two biology degrees and there were places in the story that I honestly believe I wouldn't have been able to follow what was being said without both of them. What's the point? Fair enough, you've written a Sci-Fi book and you've got this idea about evolution, I can forgive a few pages of heavy science, but not when you waffle (and a fair bit is just waffle; pointless and boring) every other chapter for pages and pages until even people who love all this science conspiracy stuff start having to flip forward just to see where the plot will start up again. It's just terrible and inaccessible and boring. Which brings me onto the characters. God, if there's anything worse than the pages of jargon, it's the boring, stereotypical mouthpieces that the author introduces to spout it. Every-single character in this book is either mind-numbingly dull or insufferably smug. Quite often, they're both. Each one is introduced with a formulaic two-line description: He/she was a tall/short/fat/thin man/woman with a neat/dirty/old/expensive suit/dress with blonde/brown/red hair. ..and that's pretty much all you'll get in terms of character development for the vast majority of them. In fact, even the single actual human relationship that the author explores (between the two main protagonists) is clumsily done - like an alien read a pamphlet entitled "human romances" and then tried to write a Jane Austin. Their 'romance' goes from bad teenage flirting to sickly interdependence in the blink of an eye, and with it, the accompanying change in pace and direction of the story is frankly just farcical. You'll work out the end about two-thirds of the way through and you'll come away wondering how a book that seems so intent on mystifying you with confusing science ends up with such a predictable plot. Review done and now I can finally bin the thing.
