"It's nice he thinks so much of you though, is kind of cute!" Yeah, If I wasn't me, I'd think so too... but unfortunately I have to deal with both ends. Oh well... such is life :).
Of course. There are always fundamental problems with a medium where the only communication between people is written words. Emoticons can sometimes help that, but it is often too easy to misinterpret what someone said.
I read your article, and I now realize that someone needs to write the history of joeuser. There looks like there is a lot of history in this place... in the couple hours I've been on this site I've read things about "deleted" "Wahkonta" and a lot of other intriguing things that I know nothing about but look interesting.
Used to be Catholic, am becoming more of a Deist. I used to belive strongly in Catholicism, but recently I'm finding it hard to see how a God would be involved in the world. Yet, somthing had to create the universe. So therefore: Deism.
No... my point is that if hypothetically the government has the power to tap every single phone line, and track every e-mail, then it should be small fry to translate spoken word to text.
I would venture to say that after you live with someone for so long you start to get tired of being around them. That certainly seems to be true of my eight (or seven... or nine... I can never remember) year old brother. I have been in the same house if him his entire life, and he drives me insane. Everything he does puts be on edge. His mere presence in my room makes
You need to go to a bigger school, wherever you are. The bigger the school, the more tiers of classes. My school is relatively small, so we usually only have 2 tiers (though sometimes we have 3 tiers) of a given class. I'm sure as you get to larger schools the number of tiers will increase. This allows you to accelerate while some other classes might have to undergo negative acceleration. I know a kid at my school that drives over an hour both ways to
"But rather than recognizing his mistake and trying to be a bit decent to the people who had harshly attacked with his alias, he just continued on. Apparently in one place he called me a "prick". Here in this post, even after being put on warning, he referred to me as having a "fragile ego". Those who know me know that I'm rarely driven by "ego" (fragile or otherwise). It's just gratuitious antagonism and ultimately, there's no reason why I or any othe
Um... I assume if the government has the ability to monitor all those conversations, it has computers with the simple software necessary to translate spoken word into searchable text. Of course, the whole idea that the government does is totally preposterous, but with computers the creation of a searchable worldwide database of all communications would be simple, requiring only the IT guys needed to keep the computers online.
First, I would like to say that I am really impressed with everything you have made, Brad. This site is really amazing with all its ins and outs (and i've only been here for an hour). Naturally, this being your site you should be able to do what ever you want. However, I assume it is at least break even due to ads (if not... I am even more impressed you pay for the massive bandwidth and space needed). I tend to hold a more capitalist philosop
Never watch the news on a TV. I never do and I haven't missed a thing. So much more can be found on the internet, it has a better range of opinions, and is a lot easier to access. TV news is just... a pointless failure.
It's even scarier when you consider that someone probally spent a lot of time to identify that rock, and then to get the sign produced. And they didn't even make a trail. What a pity.
I think that the point of language is to communicate. If you can understand what a person is saying, then what does it harm that they are using slightly different pronunciations? I think that the development of slang and the acceptance of it is just a natural part of language, and it is pointless to oppose it because it not only doesn't harm anything, but it also adds a little variety.
I feel mildly ashamed about even being here, as I make it a habit of lurking for some period of time before I join any site. Admittedly, I have read a few blogs here, but likely not with the voracious passion of some (of which we will hear nothing of... because of course, they are lurkers). However, I will undoubtedly begin to understan
