[chat] what if I want a second SSD just for music software and for all these big giant sample libraries.

Do you need near 0 access time for any of that?

scrolling through gigs of sounds with a wheel and slapping a button at the same time to hear things with as little loading time lag as possible seems really awesome. the software itself is all generally just a few hundred (edit: ) megs, but the samples are what take up space.

Hmm, why can't I leave you guys.. Dressed and everything, and I even got Becky to be excited to go on a date (to see Into Darkness, muhahahaha).. Just been reading a lotta the funnies and watching Frasier. :-/

256 would be plenty, I think. I have a 256 meg ssd as my main drive right now but it's mostly full (I need to scour through and see what is taking up space. I do have some steam games on it.)

'A few hundred megs' is what I assume you meant to say, though the awesomeness of instantly playing samples is clear in retrospect.

I think trying to determine whether the Internet is overall a net positive is like asking whether radio or television were a net positive. I would say their positive outweigh their negatives, strictly in terms of utility derived.

As to whether they make us "better people"... that's a really loaded question.

Though the topic reminds me very strongly of back when people were asking whether the Arab Spring was "good for America." It just strikes me as such a silly question. It's like asking whether the tides are "good" -- you don't really judge their "goodness" so much as just deal with the consequences.

I think the internet is more analogous to telegraph, actual written language and telephone as far as comparisons. It's the approachability and innovation through evolution, and the rapid evolution if a great many memes that've allowed a lot of our sociological changes in the US for the better, in recent memory.

I'd say the average US citizen knows more about China and Africa now, and more about the wars were in, than during the 80s and earl 90s.

...you did see that recent poll about where Bengazi is, right?

I have a better question for you angel: what would that poll have looked like in the 1980s?

About the same, perhaps a bit worse. You can lead someone to knowledge, but you can't make them think.

That's the thing angel, I believe people want to think. I think ignorance is what happens when you're starved for avenues of learning, and willful ignorance only happens when you've been explicitly trained in it.

Counterpoint: Elevatorgate.

1. I had to look that up and the whole situation is completely retarded on many levels.

2. Completely avoiding the debate about whether or not Dawkins was being a douche here, which I do not want to touch with a 10 foot pole ever in my life, any other hypothetical situation in which someone who is otherwise highly educated acts in ignorance doesn't refute my point here. Ignorance about sexism is something that we are trained in by society. Being an incredibly intelligent person doesn't make you immune to it. Overcoming that training towards ignorance isn't easy or automatic.

Except that skeptics are people who explicitly question the status quo. These weren't just people who are intelligent, they were people who define themselves as being iconoclastic.

This isn't quite how it works, just a dumbed down version of it. Being skeptical just means you prefer your knowledge to adhere to the scientific method.

And I was getting grief for defending psychics yesterday...

It's hard coming up with warm ups using the passive voice for my students.

It's a rather cumbersome sentence construction.

Fill in the blanks?

The ___ was ___

Or just describing you doing something to an object?

Like pick up a pencil

"The pencil was picked up"

Oh you sweet summer child. (I kid, I kid)

The trick is finding something my students can do and would find interesting enough to actually do.

I have a confession.

I am not actually a teacher type person.

I am going to die when I TA this year.

Nah. You are a smart cookie, I am sure you will pick it up no problem. It ain't rocket surgery.

Thanks. I'm sure I will too, and for whatever reason this post calms me down. It's just something I'm anxious about.

Hey Shiv, did you see where I invited you out to dinner on me if you ever make it down here/i get out to maryland again (not too likely) up thread?

Feral said you'd do inappropriate things to a burrito, but offer still stands if you ever need a meal and some care free times.. Logistics would have to be your headache though.

I missed out on Mass Effect 3's multiplayer because I bought it used.

That was me trying to say don't worry and enjoy your burrito, you got friends who wish you well without knowing you! Your whole deal is something I would never have the strength or courage to do, and are just a different sort if civilized than I. Still mad ups, yo.
