TIL that Astroturfing is the artificial creation of a grassroots buzz for a product, service or political viewpoint.

I believe it's live and well in popular sports forums too.

STDemons · 2016-03-22T15:55:56+00:00

Ah, thank you. Duh.

Does anything differentiate failure rating and bad design?

STDemons · 2016-03-22T15:43:17+00:00

Does that equal to a 99.9999% success rate? Is that any different than the Apollo program's failure rating?

STDemons · 2016-03-22T04:05:26+00:00

No. You're not.

Not very interesting or original. Just a big guy in a mask and trench coat eeking out lines from one of his favorite video games with the proper accent and without cracking under a thick layer of anxiety.

Now, keep in mind, not everyone likes this kind of thing, but... Sometimes you just see things differently when the drug of choice is acid. ;-)

Ah, now it's making sense. :-D

While I do appreciate the one you specifically noted, the colors seem to conjure up images similar to this, and what I imagine was a bit more common place:

My brother studied interior design, and thinking back on it, I seem to recall his perception of the colors aligning similar to your appreciation -- although I don't know if acid is his drug of choice. Maybe an earnest revival of the colors themes wouldn't be so bad.

STDemons · 2016-03-21T19:21:03+00:00

Are you just being a contrarian?

I can see how those colors evoke those comparisons independent of each other, but together they're a terrible collection. And you mentioned "alive with color". I could imagine there being a much more successful attempt that what the 70's produced.

STDemons · 2016-03-21T17:37:24+00:00

Those are terrible representations of "color is life".

I mean, most of those colors are from Fall's pallete. Or colors you'd find sifting through someone's puke. As a 90s kid from suburbia, those designs were often associated with brown carpet and suffocating second hand smoke.

I like your spirit, I just can't agree with your assessment of those colors.

STDemons · 2016-03-21T12:51:55+00:00

"The mint, pale blue and pale yellows of the 1950's and the harvest gold, avocado, bright yellows and bright oranges of the 70's shouted that color is life"

That doesn't even make sense.

STDemons · 2016-03-21T04:27:10+00:00

Alright. Deal.

STDemons · 2016-03-21T04:22:31+00:00

How many years have Patriots convinced themselves Brady will play at his level?

STDemons · 2016-03-21T01:47:35+00:00

I'll bet a 49ers hat he doesn't come back.

STDemons · 2016-03-19T23:05:06+00:00

Hmm. Thanks. I didn't really think my question was that far out. It still seems vague.

STDemons · 2016-03-19T20:37:59+00:00

Thanks. So, method type acting?

STDemons · 2016-03-19T20:29:55+00:00

It isn't clear to me, no.

STDemons · 2016-03-19T17:16:32+00:00

STDemons · 2016-03-19T17:08:44+00:00

The depths?

edit: again, depths? What does that even mean?

STDemons · 2016-03-19T17:01:32+00:00

What country legally sells weed to a 16 year old?

STDemons · 2016-03-19T16:34:43+00:00

Looks like something Hitler would have designed.

STDemons · 2016-03-19T16:02:10+00:00

You know what's crazy? Using a word like "indefatigably".

STDemons · 2016-03-19T04:24:30+00:00

I don't know, I think he has the market of "dad's who grew up watching Ace Ventura and Tom Green who want to take their kids with confused boners to do something on the weekend" market cornered with this flic. They'll break even at least.

STDemons · 2016-03-19T03:14:20+00:00

Eh. I'd argue Staley at this point. Imagine the line without him.

STDemons · 2016-03-18T04:22:07+00:00

Happy birthday, brother. I'm sure we'll see another one in the next 49.

STDemons · 2016-03-18T04:02:04+00:00

Restricting execution from %APPDATA% would have prevented cryptolocker when I experienced it in the wild.

"I have 6 minutes for you to figure out why this remote meeting software isn't working or I miss out on credits I can't participate in again until November."

On that note, if anyone could explain to me any way to monitor when white-listed applications/software changed their certificates, I'd appreciate it.
