Bite-Sized Wisdom: The Final Day of November, 2004
* Bush is visiting Canada, a country whose sole claim to fame is being next to America. Expect nothing interesting to happen as has been the norm for Canada since its existence. * Iran is having a temporary nuke freeze to "create trust." To build on that trust, the Ayatollahs are going to close their eyes and fall backwards into the hands of world leaders. * Ukraine is still in the news. If it lasts another news cycle, I'll have to devote some time to figuring out why I'm supposed to care. * Brain scans can tell when people are lying. Finally, a more modern way to tell if someone is lying than beating him with a rubber hose. * That makes me think of a joke: Q. How can you tell a lawyer is lying? * China is claiming that the new airport being built in Beijing will be the world's largest. Anyone who disagrees with this claim will be executed. * In South Korea a formerly paralyzed woman is walking due to stem cells. The problem is, these stem cells are from umbilical cord blood and thus doesn't involve any killing whatsoever to gather them. Thus the procedure has been denounced by the embryonic stem cell lobby group Others Must Die So We May Walk. * The Red Cross is claming that conditions for prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, are "tantamount to torture". What! I pay tons of taxes each year, and I want full-fledged torture for my money! The government is always doing a half-assed job... * HAPPY DANCE COMMITTEE REPORT: The internet camera that Frank J. has is not sufficient for videotaping that happy dance. A digital camera will be obtained. Also, there are hopes that an experienced choreographer will be involved, because it would be horrible if Frank J. ends up looking silly doing the happy dance. * If you didn't notice, I'm back! Expect an In My World™ later this week and more adventures of the Hate-Filled Lefty™. * Oh, and I could use your help. Spam has built up so much in my comments, that it would take weeks of dedicated work to clean it up and close comments for all old posts. Is there any nuclear bomb solution someone knows (are newer version of MT better for this?)? Also, I just got a new desktop (if the IRS asks, I only use it for blogging - oh, and I only bought Half Life 2 to test the hardware) and thus need to move everything important over to it (e-mail, web settings, etc.). I have both my old and new computers in the same room right now, with them on the same network (I have an 802.11g AP that works as a router) to help with transfers. What I really wonder is if I can move Microsoft Office 2003 and Norton Anti-Virus to the new computer without having to pay for them again (legally). Also, while I'm asking for things, if someone could give me a back rub, that would be great. 42 Responses To "Bite-Sized Wisdom: The Final Day of November, 2004"
First nice to have you back lover boy gbfan #1 - Posted by: gbfan001 on November 30, 2004 01:15 PMFirst! Yes, I'm pretty sure that you can move the programs over legally, as long as you delete them from the old computer. You bought a license, not a single installation. No idea how to solve the spam thing though, good luck with that. #2 - Posted by: Alsadius on November 30, 2004 01:16 PMDammit. Uh, wait - by "first", I actually meant "second. Yeah, that's the ticket! #3 - Posted by: Alsadius on November 30, 2004 01:17 PMYou can't move an installation, because the files are only half the installation - you'd have to rebuild the regisrty settings and services as well. So don't try it. You'll need to reinstall. Alsadius is right re: the license issue. Just find your install media. #4 - Posted by: Beo on November 30, 2004 01:42 PMHAPPY DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY SUGGESTION Hmmmmm. I don't understand how you find any time at all to write anything in your blog now that you have Half life2. I think I detected a change in nuances in the body of the text that is showing up in your current blogs. Maybe you have brought in a 'guest' blogger to cover for you while you are immersed in Half Life2. Only thing I can think of to explain it. #6 - Posted by: YankeeBastid on November 30, 2004 01:59 PMHAPPY DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY SUGGESTION 2 Another Happy dance suggestion : http://files.farleyzone.com/neil/images/TrooperDance.avi #8 - Posted by: Carin on November 30, 2004 02:05 PMSpam eh? What you need is a very hungry large person with no taste to eat it all. Ship you computer to M. Moore and that should solve your problem. However, the gravy stains can be tough to get out. #9 - Posted by: Josh on November 30, 2004 02:24 PMOn your first bullet, please note that Canada has named its greatest Canadian: Some admitted socialist who is the father of their health care system. Wow. How typically exciting and sensible of those Canadians. #10 - Posted by: albo on November 30, 2004 02:33 PMInstall MT-Blacklist. It is the nuclear bomb to comment spam. #11 - Posted by: Phelps on November 30, 2004 02:54 PMA "First" Filter would cut your comments' spam significantly. :-) Two "firsts" and one "second" post in response to a request for a solution to spam...classic! #12 - Posted by: toothless_redneck on November 30, 2004 02:56 PMPhelps, I use wordpress and do some fancy stuff with hidden fields and MD5 encryption used to verify that it is in fact a human entering comments. I'm not too familiar with the comment posting procedure in MT but something like this may work and has stopped my spam issues quick fast and in a hurry. The nice thing is that the user experience remains exactly the same. WP will also throw posts with certain words into an approval queue as well as limit the number of links allowed per comment. It's probably a bit of a pain in the backside to migrate over but it's worth a look. You might try this instead http://james.seng.cc/archives/000145.html. It will add a add a graphical validation code to your comment post form. The author must type the exact code (numbers) shown in a graphic in order for the comment to be valid. It may however mean the difference between first and second. Practice your 10-key people! The other thing is removing the post button from the initial comment entry. In other words only allow posting AFTER a preview. This is really hard for the spambots to overcome. I know how annoying it can be, good luck. #14 - Posted by: XtremeRightWing on November 30, 2004 03:36 PMDo what Andrea did with her sites and add the security code thing. #15 - Posted by: Syd Barret on November 30, 2004 03:38 PMOn the Red Cross, kinda. So, I read today that (what the next bombing target of the USA should be) Amnesty International is demanding Tasers be tested for Safety... They are replacing guns for God's Sake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha On the Happy Dance... very simple... Put SARAHK into the VIDEO !!!!!!!!! No-one will notice you (well...), or her shoes for that matter. PS - Suggestion on the digal video camcorder. DVD Camcorder, which records (burns) directly to a Mini-DVD disc. A lot less moving parts than the minv-dv tape cameras.. #17 - Posted by: Bob on November 30, 2004 03:54 PMEh, I don't feel like reading through all of the comments right now (Playing Bots 2, can't be distracted too long!) As for the payment dealy-o, if you take office and norton off of the first computer, you can legally "transfer the liscense" to your other computer by installing it. However, with Office 2k3, it requires activation. I'm not sure how that will work, if Microsoft will freak out that someone is legally using their product and force an audit on you the way they shut down some government office in Virginia to make sure they didn't have any unliscensed software. Rock, rock on! #18 - Posted by: Junglejake on November 30, 2004 03:54 PMHow come the Red Cross never seems to find abuses of American hostages. It's like put a terrorist in underwear and their should be sanctions, but cut off and mutilate a american contract truck driver thats just standard operating procedure. #19 - Posted by: Blaine on November 30, 2004 04:03 PM"The problem is, these stem cells are from umbilical cord blood and thus doesn't involve any killing whatsoever to gather them. Thus the procedure has been denounced by the embryonic stem cell lobby group Others Must Die So We May Walk." Absolutely BRILLIANT! Instead of Norton AV, you might want to try AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. Once you get past the Pan-African color scheme, you'll find that it's just as good as, or even better than, Norton AV. As for Microsoft Office 2003, if the EULA is the same or similar to the Office XP EULA, then you ought to be able to install it on two computers. It is a little vague on this issue, though, so I don't make any guarantees. Although you could... Amen on the AVG thingy -- it has been great for my 3 computers for a while now. I also suggest Spam Bayes for Outlook -- if you use Outlook. Catches a lot of the spam intended for me (especially those 419 scams). Welcome back , FJ my home boy! #22 - Posted by: Ernesto the magnificent on November 30, 2004 05:25 PMNorton!?!?! NORTON YOUR USEING NORTON!?!? DON'T YOU KNOW NORTON IS A GAY (not that there is anything wrong with that) COMMIE DEMOCRATE TOOL!!!! For all that is holy please download anti-vir (www.free-av.com) it's 10000000000000000000000000 times better than norton, and it's freaking free. I put it on every computer I work on, and very rarly do thoughs computers get virus. Trust me, I am an IT dude. BTW I hope you enjoy hiway 17 on half life 2, just think of the ant lions as Democrats. #23 - Posted by: Monster Kabasue on November 30, 2004 05:27 PMOn the China item: "They have been keen to present a more modest image in recent months, reducing the scale of plans for the Olympic stadia and saying they wish to focus more on poverty reduction." Poverty reduction?! What the hey? I thought Communism cures poverty, and makes everything equal? Am I missing something here? HFL: "You are obviously forgetting that capitalism has been introduced in Communist China, and has deluded the perfection that is the Communist way." Ah... thanks HFL!
Did ya hear that, McCarthy? Scott Sanburn is a commie! Break his shins! I'm Willie, and I approved this message. #25 - Posted by: Willie on November 30, 2004 06:07 PMDid ya hear that, McCarthy? Scott Sanburn is a commmie!! Break his shins! I'm Willie, and I approved this message. #26 - Posted by: Willie on November 30, 2004 06:09 PMYou're killing me...I don't think SarahK would appreciate you getting a backrub from someone else...but that's just my thinking. The red cross comment almost had me spew water out my nose at work! Not cool man! Try not to be so funny before 4 p.m. PST, K? #27 - Posted by: Megs on November 30, 2004 06:11 PMI think there should be full-fledged comment registration. Having to retype a &(*^ near-unreadable code every time I want to post a comment? Or having to preview it every time? No thanks, I'll take a five minutes registration. Plus you can ban people you don't like....... ...why are you asking where I come from? HELP! >Also, while I'm asking for things, if someone could give me a back rub, that would be great. Tch. Next time, make sure to run through your to-do checklist BEFORE escorting SarahK to the airport.

Good Golly! Just dance darnit! #30 - Posted by: jonag on November 30, 2004 06:57 PMHey, I thought you'd be all excited about Ukraine! It's an example of nasty Communism-tinged Russian dictators imposing thier will on innocent people by way of thier vast, overweeinging influence! It's Russia's fault they backed the wrong guy and got this whole thing started in the first place. Hey, I thought you'd be all excited about Ukraine! It's an example of nasty Communism-tinged Russian dictators imposing thier will on innocent people by way of thier vast, overweeinging influence! It's Russia's fault they backed the wrong guy and got this whole thing started in the first place. and by "someone", you mean your sweet t-shirt babe, right? only me. in 9 days, i'll give you a good back rub. #33 - Posted by: sarahk on November 30, 2004 08:27 PMYou can tell when a lawyer is lying very easily. Expect nothing interesting to happen as has been the norm for Canada since its existence. I would like to point out that prog-rock power trio Rush and a large portion of the uranium used to create the plutonium for the first two A-bombs dropped at the end of WWII came from Canada. Additionally, it should be noted that Rush had been around since the late 1960s but weren't popular until their songs were played on American radio in 1974. It's also a fact that although the Canadians were sitting on tons of uranium, it was American scientists that put it to use (the Bear Lake Mine had even been "allowed to flood with water" prior to 1942 when the U.S. military asked the Canadians to provide the Manhattan Project with uranium). Oh... Canada. #35 - Posted by: The Real Scott on November 30, 2004 11:05 PMYes, the nuclear bomb solution you're looking for is called Wordpress, particularly when you add the Kitten's Spaminator plugin. #36 - Posted by: Korgmeister on November 30, 2004 11:52 PMIn other words, nothing of interest happened until the US came into the picture, right? #37 - Posted by: Desert Cat on December 1, 2004 01:43 AMSigh...you Americans. You think nothing happens up here. Everyone knows of the CIA, right? Well who has heard of CSIS? No one? Exactly. And that tells you who does a better job of secret programs. Nobody looks at us Canucks when the President of France chokes on his croissant (coming 2005!) Oops. #38 - Posted by: The Bear on December 1, 2004 02:24 AMHeh, silly Candians. I feel the need to point out something else about Cana-duh. The guy who discovered it, described as "Aca Nada" which literally means "a whole lot of nothin'". Aca Nada = Canada. And so when I say Canada is a worthless nothing, it comes from fact. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. *This message was paid for and approved by Citizens For Turning Canada Into A Nuclear Dump* #39 - Posted by: Jen on December 1, 2004 02:54 AMBarb, Web Directory Arts Business Computers Games Health Home Kids and Teens News Recreation Reference Regional Science Shopping Society Sports World lung cancer engine optimization mesothelioma diagnosis home equity loans trans union consolidate loans lexington law lexington law firm debt problems register domain affiliate programs refinance video conferencing payday loans credit counseling asbestos debt solutions cash loans refinancing broadband phone management fast loans credit card processing credit reports making money on the internet merchant account money magazine adsense credit counselors identity theft free credit adwords citifinancial web hosting american express credit airlines credit card credit report earn money hard drive recovery hard money lenders credit counseling service debt consolidation poor credit low interest web host student credit cards secured loans send money to india discover credit merchant accounts hosting money on the internet credit loans consumer credit money making ideas credit card applications money lenders discover credit card money loans dept help credit card services consolidation ways to make money student credit how to make money accept credit accept credit cards internet money credit repair free credit check bad credit money making consolidating car loans money fast money now personal credit bad debt lenders auto loans making money online interest credit cards credit history lending business credit money to india debt online credit hard money webhosting credit cards make money credit application online credit card chase credit interest credit equifax credit video conference best credit card credit cardbankruptcy best credit webhost pengar college credit credit card debt credit checks credit check secured credit cards credit report need money credit services credit reporting preapproved online approval credit score #42 - Posted by: bidrel on March 1, 2005 11:01 PMPost a comment
