Re: Being Random: Why I'm Not an Apple Fan #11

Because—some of—the fanbase rubs me the wrong way. :)

As much as I like Gruber, he has his annoying moments.

You're not an Apple fan because they're successful?

Re: Being Random: VMWare Fusion vs. Parallels Desktop for Mac: Which Is Faster?

Marcus Mattsson — Sun, 03 May 2009 17:32:15 -0000

"The short story is that in most cases, Parallels runs a solid 14-20 percent faster than Fusion, except in the rather limited scenario of running Windows XP 32-bit on two virtual processors."

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Re: Being Random: Creative Screenwriting Podcast

It's quickly become one of my favorite podcasts, the WALL-E and Watchmen episodes are truly amazing. It's so fascinating to hear about how they work at Pixar, and Hayter's story about how he got writing credit for the entire first X-Men movie, even though he started as an assistant on the project, is so awesome.

Re: liquify ≠ liquefy

No problem; I just construed your usual X ≠ Y model as X being common, improper spelling and Y as the proper one. No doubt that it's true within its own context.

I wonder how many people will notice my run-on sentence...

Re: liquify ≠ liquefy

Elizabeth — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 20:06:10 -0000

Liquify is a variant of liquefy, so it's not necessarily "wrong", but the original spelling is l-i-q-u-e-f-y.
Etymology: Fr liquefier < L liquefacere: see liquid & -fy

I'll admit that I got a little picky with this one.

Just bought the PlayStation medal. Limited supply -1!

Also, the shop seems to be placed in Greece. Yay to not getting screwed as a European.

Re: Being Random: Linking to a specific part of a YouTube video

I guess I'm gonna have to take that back, when I pressed the link from the Tumblr Dashboard it just played the video from the beginning, but it worked fine when I clicked it from in here.

I have no idea why, but it's never worked for me.

I wonder how will that affect their TV show. It will be weird to watch them acting as siblings when they are a couple in real life.

Re: Being Random: Why I am Not a Professor / The Decline and Fall of the British University

Janette Toral — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 07:44:06 -0000

You are right that this concern is also applicable internationally. Even the students have less enthusiasm with the education system especially once they get empowered by so many things they learn on their own by interacting with expert users, get access to online, and some even earn at a young age. Then they enter school/university only to find that the person teaching them is so behind with what is happening out there. I recently referred a small writing job to two talented teenagers and when they realized how much they will be paid, they reacted that they even earn more than their teachers in high school. Something is really wrong with the educational system and hope there is still time for them to fix their old age rules.

I had to ask my daughter (whose into anime) what "hentai" means and I laughed so hard after finding out. So there is such a thing and it even has an affiliate program. LOL!

Weird, 2 minutes ago I showed it to my little brother, I've probably seen it 15+ times. Be sure to check out "A Day in the Life of Natalie Portman" as well.
