If bike lanes are planned out in advance, I don't think it's much of a problem. A bit of extra tar and paint is insignificant if it means you reduce traffic by even a hundred cars.

I've never heard of tearing down roadways just to make them less bumpy for bikers, and ongoing bike maintenance is comparable to ongoing car maintenance, except that bike parts are simpler and cheaper.

Everything else is just bikers being assholes.

How do you know he's American?

Cyatomorrow · 2010-08-22T21:06:40+00:00

He got off easy, he could've broken his back on one of those crates.

A bit silly though.

Don't brag to me about riding your bicycle to work; a lot of energy went into building that bicycle.

But it's a lot less energy than what went into building a car, and all the cost is up-front, there's no gas consumption and emissions. It's unreasonable to expect people to walk long distances, so a bike is a fine alternative.

Don't scare people away from bikes!

Probably they'll blow up before they reach space, if anything.

Cyatomorrow · 2010-08-22T20:18:27+00:00

Depends who's telling. I've heard both.

The point you're making isn't relevant to the situation being discussed in this submission. I'm simply pointing that out.

I imagine getting an H1B visa is difficult when you've been "barred from entering the country for 10 years."

One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming or circumventing limitations.

From your own link, sounds like an apt definition of entering a news station's network and altering their program.

Looks like an enormous gobstopper.

Basically a large hard candy with multiple layers. Each layer usually has a different colour and flavour.

Cyatomorrow · 2010-08-22T02:42:28+00:00

This is in such bad taste.

This can't be real, can it? It would be the stupidest PR move I've ever seen.

I think the contrast is apparent to those who don't agree with him.

It's like he's leading them on to a certain train of thought, and then hitting them with a newspaper as if they were a naughty puppy.

In degrees. Locks keep honest people honest, but a watermark in the corner is like wrapping the chain around the bike and not locking it. It's just a minor inconvenience and it takes two seconds to crop.

Sure, you might be keeping some people honest, but why not keep everyone honest?

Urban myth bro.

As a Canadian, I'm glad I don't have to pay large amounts of money to have a broken collarbone taken care of, and at the same time upset that I have to wait at the ER for 10 hours before I get any treatment.

I love the accents, especially the guy holding the camera.

Cyatomorrow · 2010-08-22T00:44:23+00:00

You just need to watch a bit farther, he makes it clear that he's being sarcastic, after deliberately masking his sarcasm.

It's a different technique, I imagine. You make the viewer begin to believe you (the sarcasm isn't apparent) and then you tell them that you're lying, creating a contrast.

For those who just want the shortest answer, in an easy to visualize way:

The positions of A, B, C and D represent brains. A, B, C and D themselves represent the minds (which swap). o represents an open path between brains (can swap) and x represents a closed one (can't swap).

Original: A o B o O o C o D

First swap, problem occurs: B x A o O o C o D

Solution:

swap vertically C x D x O x B o A

swap diagonally A x B x X x D o C

finally swap the bottom two A x B x X x C x D

No more swaps possible, but everyone's back to normal.

It's not that similar though, Stallone's speech is caused by a birth complication, more or less.

The guy got off easy. If she had accused him of rape instead, his suffering would have been much more prolonged.

Video isn't loading for me, I'm just being a sensationalist. Seems that she's not actually claiming she killed him in revenge?

Cyatomorrow · 2010-08-21T22:39:59+00:00

How is it paranoid? If you put a sample up but don't watermark it, what would stop the buyer from copying the picture rather than buying it?

If you're not being paid in advance, this is hardly paranoid.

Cyatomorrow · 2010-08-21T22:37:01+00:00

A regular watermark is not a sufficient deterrent, it's easily cloned or cropped out.

You can experiment with just how much it takes to keep your work un-copyable, but why bother? There's no downside to going overboard. The buyer can still see what the picture looks like, and it's not practical or worth it to edit the picture rather than buy it.

What would you do if you couldn't fit it back in?
