I've gotta figure out how to protect my computer from hackers like you.

As Pay says, "repsonsible computing is everyone's responsibility".

I remember seeing a magazine article about this one a few years back...

The McDonald's clown is a plastic model that some midwestern high school seniors stole from the play ground out side of MickieD's and left it hanging in a local park from a noose. I seem to remember that it was from square medwestern town like Peoria.

In a couple of years I might find the article and post it here.

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 5 2007, 11:47 PM

that peoria dig was priceless!!!


Hey for once I posted something in the correct thread

Posted by: evade20 Mar 6 2007, 05:19 AM

I went through Peoria once...on the way to somewhere else.


Self-depreciation can be a priceless tool of humor.

welcome to the world of 3d.

You mean Jared? The guy who used to be fat but now is just ugly?

haha, the world of 3d...

dont forget Bg , it was his quote I just used it , but thanks for the credit !!!


Yep JAred , Fat but ugly , but very rich ...

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 6 2007, 06:57 PM

ya know, a smrt, and likely unemployed, man would decrypt every episode and have it loaded on harddrive, with SnagIt installed, so you could just snag custom framegrabs at will.

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 6 2007, 07:02 PM

If only I were smrter, and unemployed, and had all the episodes on my HD.

Posted by: ddd35 Mar 6 2007, 09:18 PM

i thought you both did ?

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 11:57 AM

Yeah, that would be sweet!


I'm working on it...including the unemployed part

I'm waiting for the future when you'll be able to download all 50 years of the Simpson's in less than a second. For 2 cents. Did anyone see IBM's new computer, the fastest ever? It does like 6 trillion computations a second. Still not good enough to decipher a 3D post, but heading in the right direction.

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 7 2007, 12:13 PM

Just think, you'd be able to process all the closeups in about 2 minutes.

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 12:16 PM

50 years!?








It'll be on longer than that!


BAM!


and ZING!

Posted by: closeup Mar 7 2007, 12:26 PM

I'm waiting for a computer that will run solely on verbal commands. I know they have prototypes in the works, but just think what they'll have in ten or fifteen years. That's actually the reason I won't knock myself out learning how to use this thing. I can always explain to an employee what I want the result to be, even if I have no idea how they're going to do it. I've resigned myself to the fact that my computer skills are always going to be sup-par, but that doesn't mean I can't figure out how to earn money using one. I designed my website, (the content, not the layout) and it's gotten good reviews. Plus, if anyone should happen to want to know the most efficient way to rate melons, I'm their guy.

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 7 2007, 12:47 PM

at least as long as the show continues to be profitable.

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 01:01 PM

They have some pretty good systems right now that work on voice recognition(too lazy to find links).
And in 10 or 15 years we'll also be driving flying cars and living in colonies on the moon
Well for someone with sub-par computer skills you do pretty well. It's just different stuff that everyone is naturally good at. I look at the guys doing my renovations at home right now. It's incredible how fast and good they work. I could do the work too but it would take me a month to do what they do in 3 days and they do a better job with less swearing.


I'm surprised you haven't hired someone to do that for you too

Posted by: closeup Mar 7 2007, 02:26 PM

I just finished a book,"Stumbling on Happiness" that explains why we suck so bad at predicting the future. The author, Daniel Gilbert, is a Harvard Psychologist so it's not just bs and fluff, this guy knows his stuff. I'd have to say it's the most interesting book I've read in the last 5 years.

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 02:47 PM

Yeah, but's probably the only book you've read in the past 5 years.

I assume the book relates to my post in some way?

Posted by: ddd35 Mar 7 2007, 03:14 PM

wow that would work wonders for you , you could jack off and never get the keyboard sticky ..

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 7 2007, 03:14 PM

I'd say that knowing how this board operates, it's safer to assume the book does NOT related to your post in some way.

Posted by: ddd35 Mar 7 2007, 03:16 PM

do you really think it is now ?

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 03:24 PM

with powdered sugar or without ?

Posted by: closeup Mar 7 2007, 05:04 PM

Yeah, the passage about flying cars, etc. He has a couple of funny paragraphs showing what people in the 50's thought the world would be like in the year 2000. I'm gonna see if I can find it, but if I can't, read the book.Here it is.
Stumbling on Happiness is a book about a very simple but powerful idea. What distinguishes us as human beings from other animals is our ability to predict the future--or rather, our interest in predicting the future. We spend a great deal of our waking life imagining what it would be like to be this way or that way, or to do this or that, or taste or buy or experience some state or feeling or thing. We do that for good reasons: it is what allows us to shape our life. And it is by trying to exert some control over our futures that we attempt to be happy. But by any objective measure, we are really bad at that predictive function. We're terrible at knowing how we will feel a day or a month or year from now, and even worse at knowing what will and will not bring us that cherished happiness. Gilbert sets out to figure what that's so: why we are so terrible at something that would seem to be so extraordinarily important?

In making his case, Gilbert walks us through a series of fascinating--and in some ways troubling--facts about the way our minds work. In particular, Gilbert is interested in delineating the shortcomings of imagination. We're far too accepting of the conclusions of our imaginations. Our imaginations aren't particularly imaginative. Our imaginations are really bad at telling us how we will think when the future finally comes. And our personal experiences aren't nearly as good at correcting these errors as we might think.

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 7 2007, 05:11 PM

I think I know what book you're talking about. I never read it, or saw it for that matter. But I've heard it referenced a few times. i think the guy was talking about using pneumatic tubes for transportation or something like that


Or maybe that was a dream I had once.

Posted by: closeup Mar 7 2007, 05:22 PM

Google a review of the book, there's alot of them that can explain it better than I can. But here's some points he makes: (From a reveiw, not from me)
1) We often exaggerate in imagining the long- term emotional effects certain events will have on us.
2) Most of us tend to have a basic level of happiness which we revert to eventually.
3) People generally err in imagining what will make them happy.
4) People tend to find ways of rationalizing unhappy outcomes so as to make them more acceptable to themselves.
5) People tend to repeat the same errors in imagining what will make them happy.
6) Events and outcomes which we dread may when they come about turn into new opportunities for happiness.
7) Many of the most productive and creative people are those who are continually unhappy with the world- and thus strive to change it.
8) Happiness is rarely as good as we imagine it to be, and rarely lasts as long as we think it will. The same mistaken expectations apply to unhappiness.

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 05:25 PM

I get it, can't win, don't try.

And about the flying cars thing. It seems to be present in every prediction of the future. The problem with it, is people can barely navigate 2 dimensions in a car, can you imagine adding the third dimension?

On another tnagent I remember reading, probably about 10-12 years ago an interview with Bill Gates. He was asked about the future of computers. He said the focus would move away from PCs and towards tiny portable computers that do everything, and connect users to each other effortlessly. This was essentially before digital cell phones, mp3 players, most digital cams etc. I thought he was on crack. I thought my giant PC was the future. I guess we know who was on crack

Posted by: closeup Mar 7 2007, 05:31 PM

That's not really a tangent at all, it's exactly what this book is about. It's not really about happiness as such, it's about trying to predict the future. He has quite a few fascinating experiments he's developed to not only explain his theories, but to prove them. Anyway, you have to read the book to really get the gist of it.

Posted by: Gnappster Mar 7 2007, 05:52 PM

it sounds like a book where they explain why people suck.
i can write that book myself

Duct taping your tits together? Can you imagine pulling off the tape? I guess women will do just about anything for a little more cleavage. Sort of like the way Evade never leaves the house without a roll of quarters in his pocket.

Posted by: closeup Mar 7 2007, 06:09 PM

I've seen quite a few pictures like this and wonder how easy would it be to Photoshop it? I couldn't do it, but I know it isn't all that hard. Some people seem to have a lot of extra time on their hands. (Where's Bob's pot & kettle when you need it?)

Posted by: Bobaloo Mar 7 2007, 07:27 PM

It would be rather easy actually. But don't worry. Even if I did find a picture of you, I respect you too much to photoshop your vagina exposed... now closeup527 is another story


Right at the end of this post.
