Response to: After Blu-Ray Posted March 16th, 2012 in General

A few years ago IBM created a disk with crystals in it. It's like an 8-track disk... you can read the surface from different angles to get more space out of it.
Maybe with something like that, they'll go back to analog, like on the 12' Laser Disks... they looked way better than DVDs.

Response to: Opinion on smoking? Posted March 16th, 2012 in General

At 3 hours ago, PoloPancake wrote: So, what my question is to you guys, what's your opinion on smoking?

It's stupid to smoke. If I didn't smoke, I'd have money for scotch.
Smoking's too addictive to be any good.
Buying tobacco only supports terrorists... I mean the State and Federal authorities.
I'm sure farmers in the Southern states would rather grow other things. The amount of pesticides and other chemicals used to grow tobacco, have tainted the soil badly enough, you wouldn't want to eat what was grown there.
Foreign cigarettes are no where near as potent or as harmful, as what we have in the States.

Quit now.

Response to: Hard ice cream Posted March 15th, 2012 in General

Stand back, I got this.
The harder the ice cream, the more ice cream you're getting (less air pumped into it). Yeah, temperature's a factor too... guess it could give it a quick nuke.
Run cold water over the spoon after every scoop, it'll cut and lubricate better at the same time. Milk rinses clean in cold water (my town's health department says so) and can be considered washed.
I was just wiki'ing milk fat earlier... haven't had any ice cream so far this year :(

Response to: Homeless people as WiFi hotspots Posted March 14th, 2012 in General

In advertising, they pay people to dress-up funny to lure customers in.
The homeless should be paid by the promotional company to wear these things, not the bill-laden passerby.
Businesses that do this sort of work get paid astronomical amounts of money, and have no morality, whatsoever.
This denigrates the homeless and the wireless users into.... beggars all.
It's like corporate sponsored cow worship. You can't not go to hell for getting that signal.

Not so much - I've always been sensitive to other people's feelings. Plus I'd get beat if I did otherwise.

You know any good rape jokes? Technically, I was raped, but I was a willing soul... sometimes the joke's on you.

Porn is like any tool man makes (or handles) - it's either a benefit or a hazard. It's half and half in my book.

You know? I'm taking what I said back!
IF you applied for ad revenue sharing (list name, mailing address...), then check out your accounts page and go to "view your charts and data" at the bottom of the finance column. There it will show you what's making you money (on views and such) and on what type of content you provide.
It didn't work last time I checked, but now it does!
I have no idea how they calculate these numbers (as the weekly, monthly, yearly listings all have different totals), but if you dig a little deeper in the admin posts, I'm sure Tom or liljim have additional information on that.
If you go to creator resources in the NG wikihelp section, there they have more info as well.

Response to: new level icons Posted March 11th, 2012 in General

At 2 hours ago, walkinator wrote: the old ones were way better. These need to be bigger and not pixelated.

Agreed.
We should have a choice of which set of level icons we want to display.
The set we're using now is quite old, and was previewed before a redesign took place (2002 or 3...).
That level 43 slimer in a laz-e-boi is hard to forget. As is the lack any creativity at the higher levels.
It looked shit then, as it does now.

Research over.

Anyone can justify creepy and dark actions by what they've seen or heard... or not at all.
Human beings foster light or darkness. The internet only validates the reality they choose.
Define the struggle on a broader level before examining further.

It sounds fishy to me. Movies and games are Flash driven and connect to the NG API, correct? Where is the mechanism in an audio or art page?
Supposed someone clicked on an un-embedded ad while viewing a Flash movie.... I don't think that counts....
Serious? Ask liljim. I wonder what, if any, response he would give.

Three things I discovered: Table sugar loves to eat enamel. Use honey or granulated brown sugar as a substitute for drinks... for baking it seems okay.
After brushing, dip a Q*Tip in rubbing alcohol and clean the bad tooth and surrounding area. It won't kill you and/or blind you in very small does, and it does kill the infection better than peroxide (which you should do once a week, till the bacteria's a better breed.).
Orange or grapefruit juice kills gingivitis, so rinse with that before you go to bed.

Very rare. It's usually their name or some nonsensical word if anything... they do tend to pee just as bad as the men do.
It's just more work for the poor, underpaid bastard to clean up or paint over. The more graffiti around, the lower the chances of a clean bathroom.

Just think of your time on the shooting range as a first step to eventual ownership...

Response to: Questions for people Posted March 6th, 2012 in General

Didn't think this thread would turn out so well!
I guess the whole point is believing in something you can't perceive.
Even when you understand how things work, there is a "random" element to all complex things.
Every time I step out the door, something's different, and that affects everything else.
This kid's been posting some interesting videos on his search for the truth.
When I was a kid, that was just considered New Age BS. I've come to realize the universe works in such a complex way, there has to be an afterlife, or a mufti-dimensional place where other non-corporeal things live.
As a farmer, I can tell you nature abhors a vacuum, and it would be wise to believe our lives don't end at death.
