Dropped Maarten off at the Mavs game since he totally left you guys but at least I'm here by your side. Much love.

  • Are you calling me emotional? This is Matt, the guy from the OnlyRepublican.com site above. I've been called worse, and I appreciate the shout-out, btw.

    I am certainly not a trained in the economic implications to the extent that, well, the above economists are. But I can tell you that we need a full palette of technological options and market incentives on the table. The Markey neutrality amendment that was defeated would actually make many of those options illegal -- not least, charging for prioritized traffic.

    I am what you'd call an economic layman, but I spend a lot of time observing the dynamics of free markets. I can tell you that the public-utility (aka common-carrier) model that is being proposed by the pro-neutrality camp will retard investment and innovation. It removes a lot of incentives, and makes product differentiation nearly impossible.

    Some bits are more time-sensitive than others -- think video vs email. A good user experience demands it.






















  • I had a weird dream with shackers in it. I was walking along this trail and I saw a bunch of people sitting down watching some movie. So I went to see what it was all about. It was a bunch of people wearing shirts that said "Quakeworld" and I was like "Awesome, gamers!". So I sat down and watched with them. They were watching FMV sequences from various final fantasy games lol. Anyways, I had been sitting there watching it for a while when someone says "Any shackers here?!" and Me, Nyranger, and Mr. Sleepy all scream "Lamp, sand, lime!". So we were sitting at someone's house after this and we were watching more final fantasy stuff on somebody's tv. Some dude was sitting next to me and he kept putting his hand on my leg and I kept pushing it off. I told him "I've been working out, so you better cut out the gay stuff" and he said "oh yeah? Flex" and I flexed my arms and he felt them and said "I could cave in your arms easy, you're not strong" and I said "How about I cave in your face?!" and he got up lol. After that I asked "Is Mr Sleepy here?!" and he screams "You know it motherfucker!" and then I said "Oh how i've missed you Mr Sleepy". That's when I woke up. Weird..

  • Nintendo DS
    I'll probably get FP'd but anyway

    I called ebgames (in Canada) to know how much store credit they gave for the old Nintendo DS... CAN$40!! That's insane since they'll probably resell it for about CAN$100 if not more. So if anybody is interested in an almost new red Nintendo DS (sorry I keep MarioKart :) ), shackmessage me. I say almost new because I'm really carefull with my stuff. I bought it last December. It will come with a carry pouch (official from Nintendo; Can hold 8 games, plus the charger and other accessories like small headphones), a 3rd party charger, and all the other stuff that came in the box. I didn't apply any of the decals on the DS, and I'll make sure it's all cleaned up before shipping.

    I'd be more interested in shipping within Canada than anywhere else.

    I'm at work right now, but if you want pics of the stuff plus more info, ask but answers will come later tonight!
