iPod Announcement Five Years Ago
January 10th, 2007
Every now and then when new products are announced, I like to take a moment and go back to read the Mac Rumors forum thread from when the iPod was first announced.

http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=500

It only gets better the further you go. Arguments one after the next explaining why the iPod will be a collosal failure and clearly spells doom for Apple.

It’s just a cheerful reminder to be a bit more humble in making predictions and assertions, and one i will try to keep in mind more often (although, in the spirit of the above, I offer no guarantee).

Hilarious.

[philby4000]

someone needs to tone down the messeages you get when you try to post before your new email adress is validated.

Blame Andrew - he removed about half a page's worth of posts before yours.

Blame Andrew - he removed about half a page's worth of posts before yours.

I just had a big post typed out here complaining about moderation on a forum that I honestly expect has a decent population of tweenagers and I figured out how ridiculous it was so whatever.

[AndrewTaylor]

Blame Andrew - he removed about half a page's worth of posts before yours.

I basically spotted that it was out of hand and removed the bad bit, then I removed all the posts that didn't make sense without the bad bit, then all the posts that led directly to the bad bit. I didn't go through and judge every post individually, because I have (marginally) better things to do with my life.

China's not strange like Japan is. China's strange because you could show someone a picture of it or give them some facts about it, and ask them to guess what year was being depicted/described and they might say anything from biblical times to 2025 depending on which bit of China you choose. That's ****ed up.

They have their share of bizarre culture too, but no more than anywhere else.

[Paul.Power]

Both countries are strange, but in rather contrasting ways. Douglas Adams does a lovely job of summing up China in Last Chance to See, if you're interested.

I've noticed lately there's some fan art in the spam forum.

[Zero72]

Seriously though, have you seen yaihui? Can't there be a "report member" button alongside the "report post" one?

[Squirminator2k]

Yes, yes, yes.

[SupSuper]

Do you even have to ask? :p

I just worry that if we get rid of Fan Art, it'll spread onto other forums instead. At least while tal, mcmaster, poninja, yahui and gloworm still lurk around.

[Pigbuster]

But I LIKE being on the first page of the top posters list. :( (HAHA I JUST BEAT YOU ZEOR. :p)
It helps me feel like I haven't wasted all of my time here.

Then again, deleting that forum would also delete 3 of the dumbest posts I ever made in my life. Hmm...
And it means that I would spend less time here.
Honestly, it's never going to be the same without Splapp/Slick/Huntakilla posting art again. What's the point? All the awesome is gone.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it really does seem like Yauhui and the bunch aren't going to up and leave like everyone else.

Maybe you could just hide it for a while, like half a year or something. Then bring it back on CHRISTMAS DAY WHEE!
Maybe by then all of the stupid will leave.

It will be a throwback to the day when I was a newbie, and I avoided the fanart forums because I just felt ominous about the place (Though that happened to be during the time of Huntakilla and Splapp making comics in ABUNDANCE, unfortunately).

My only problem I have with the new Fanart rules is the 'only constructive critism' thing.

Where is the line between unconstructive critism and constructive critism drawn?

If I point out the weaknesses in someones drawing am I in the wrong if I don't state the obvious afterward?

Ie: "Your perspective is all wrong" versus "Your perspective is all wrong, you should learn to draw perspective better."

Also, I notice that it's only negative unconstructive critism that's not allowed.:-/

[Pickleworm]

I'm not sure why Hell Yeah Crew cannot continue under the new regime because I seriously spent >1 minute making each one of those except for maybe the way early ones

If anything I would be careful around any anti-trolling rules but he didn't make any of those so ko0l

I approve of this new regime because this new 'stupid' fad is starting to lose its humor value

[bloopy]

I hate it when people try to get philosophical about mathematics.

Old post to quote I know, but lately I've been getting philosophical about mathematics. Help me!

I've been thinking about the place of mathematics in existence. No matter where we go or what we imagine, there's this seemingly absolute truth called mathematics hanging around. It reminds me of the movie The Fog (2005) which I saw the other night. Is there any way to escape this mathematics thing or does it just mutate as required to accommodate whatever anomalies or paradoxes we can throw at it? Could a place exist where none of our mathematics can be applied, and if so, could we even imagine what such a place would be like? :D

[Zero72]

I try to ignore the existence of math whenever possible.

[MtlAngelus]

If you point out a weakness that's constructive. If you say "that picture is bad" without reason then that's not. Constructive criticism is criticism that could be considered useful to the artist.

[thomasp]

Good idea, making your new rules post so long, Tom. The idiots who frequent the forum won't bother to read all of it and will probably then go and do something stupid. Excellent trap.

Thank you for reading every part of the thread that people won't read and not reading the bit that everybody will read. :p (If that made sense...)

I used basically the same form that Andrew used when we re-did the rules a couple of years ago (to no effect). Short, 1-sentence rules at the top, then a more detailed description of them later on that people can read if they want more clarification. And if you can't be bothered to read the rules, then you should expect to get punished - same goes for in real life too.

There's a short version. If they don't read it, they deserve the ban.

Got it in one!

Ie: "Your perspective is all wrong" versus "Your perspective is all wrong, you should learn to draw perspective better."

I think "unconstructive" would be something along the lines of "Your perspective sucks therefore you suck", or just simply "you suck". Both phrases you mention in the last line I would class as "constructive", but you might want to put "Your perspective is all wrong, do <this> to sort it". Basically, unconstructive = flaming.

Also, I notice that it's only negative unconstructive critism that's not allowed.

Surely positive unconstructive criticism is a bit of an oxymoron? Positive unconstructive criticism is just spam,rather than spam & flaming

I really wouldn't say that when there's an engineer lurking :p

[Paul.Power]

I really wouldn't say that when there's an engineer lurking :p

I had to cope with some engineering "maths" the other day (My dad asked me to do some log calculations. I feel I should point out that he's not the engineer, the person who wrote the stuff down is).

So I'm sitting there going "AARGH! Simplify your bloody equations after you put your values in! Don't just shove all the numbers into a calculator!"


I've been thinking about the place of mathematics in existence. No matter where we go or what we imagine, there's this seemingly absolute truth called mathematics hanging aroundYou may take a bit of comfort from Gödel's Theorem, then. Gödel managed to prove that, no matter what set of axioms you took, there would always be questions of mathematics that would be unproveable. And to make it worse, you wouldn't know which ones they were.

Also, it's worth reiterating that, in a certain specific way, maths is the opposite of science. Scientists modify theories to fit the evidence. Mathematicians modify evidence to fit the theory. The fact that mathematics still describes the universe pretty accurately even though it does this can sometimes be a bit of a puzzler.

[AndrewTaylor]

I used basically the same form that Andrew used when we re-did the rules a couple of years ago (to no effect).
Some would question the logic of this.

Also, I notice that it's only negative unconstructive critism that's not allowed.
I think the key there, though, is that vague compliments are far less likely to cause fights as vague insults, and to be honest, "I like your pespective; don't change it" is not much more useful than "I like your picture; draw more like it".

[Zero72]

I really wouldn't say that when there's an engineer lurking :pAre engineers usually offended by people who aren't good at math? Sorry, didn't know.

Well, we haven't exhausted pylons yet, so let's talk about the photoelectric affect.

I mean the photoelectric effect.

Although come to think of it, the photoelectric affect sounds more potentially silly.

"The affectors"? :-/

[bonz]

I thought "affect" was only a noun in some highly obscure legal context?
Well, it's still a noun then.
BTW, it's used in German much more often colloquially, aside of it's use as a technical term.

[Paul.Power]

noun psychol 1 the emotion linked with a particular idea or mental image. 2 the predominant mood, feelings or emotions in a person's mental state.

So if someone's mood was photoelectric...

Of course we can.

I answered your questions with my first sentence, then added a side note about German usage of the word, as indicated by the abbrevation "BTW".

The word is Latin anyway, thus used for the same purpose in any language.
On that note, English uses much more Latin words than German, as standard words, not borrowed ones that is.

And I think I remember S2k commenting on it finding it funny so I was kind of taken aback with his shock not that I'm offended or anything it's cool

What would you rather I try to write like for the guest comic?
Hey I think the Hell Yeah Crew is awesome :p
But I don't think it's something Ben would like for his comic.

This site has a gigantic number of fonts, all made by the same guy and all are totally free for any use.

I already have so many fonts that my computer has a lot of trouble loading them all, and this site is going to make it a lot worse.

By some immense combination of luck and fudging my way through the hard parts with Star Power, I have FINALLY beaten Woman on Guitar Hero 2 on Hard.

Yes, that song is on the first tier.

...What? It's freakin' hard.

Edit: And then, even after terminally destroying my left wrist with Heart-Shaped Box, I five-starred Strutter on my first attempt. :eek:

Speaking of off topic, anyone up for the challange? :p

Look at this:
$100,000 will be awarded to the first person to prove, in a scientific manner, that humans are causing harmful global warming. The winning entry will specifically reject both of the following two hypotheses:
...
UGWC Hypothesis 2
The benefits equal or exceed the costs of any increases in global temperature caused by manmade greenhouse gas emissions between the present time and the year 2100, when all global social, economic and environmental effects are considered.
That's a wholly subjective statement and could never be proved or disproved with science. I can reject it out of hand by valuing the smallest risk to the environment as more important than the largest huge economic benefit. I bet they wouldn't accept that.

Remember that old forum skin? The one with the seasonal header that changed colour depending on the time of year? The one people used to complain about?

I miss that, I do.

Awww!
That was a nice feature. I miss it.

i prefer the classic skin

[Squirminator2k]

Oh, don't get me wrong - I agree with you. Plasma is a bloody pain in the... wait, I mean, I prefer the classic skin too. Just there's some part of me that liked the seasonal skin.

[FutureWorm]

oh yes, it was fun seeing that color on the top change every three months or so (not sarcasm)

[Paul.Power]

It was kinda fun suddenly going "Wha? Where'd that green come from?"

Maybe we could have Retro Purple Fluid with an extra colour-coded bar slotted in under the main links row.

[FutureWorm]

so i set a random facebook picture of a girl as my profile picture on the sa forums, knowing that there are a lot of desperate guys on said website

i'm curious as to what will happen next

edit: i keep changing as i find better selections

I remember once a bunch of guys made a fake mySpace thing for some imaginary girl, but they used all photos of themselves. They did closeups of eyes and stuff, and had one shot with genuine, but male, cleavage. This imaginary woman got loads of "friends". Terribly amusing.

i was part of that, actually, i was the one who called that creepy guy and pretended to be the girl's dad

Ben responds to Josh:

Oh, don't get me wrong - I agree with y--... wait, you don't like Penny Arcade? I can't agree with that. I like Penny Arcade. I have the books and everything.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I agree with you. Plasma is a bloody pain in the... wait, I mean, I prefer the classic skin too. Just there's some part of me that liked the seasonal skin.

Eh?

I've been thinking recently of how Ben constructs his responses to things. I reckon I could be a Ben imposter and no-one could tell.

[Squirminator2k]

I'm all too aware of the way I put sentences together. I have a sort of mental jigsaw of fragmented sentences in my head, and I just put them together.

The "don't get me wrong" thing was just me being silly, though.

[worMatty]

Yeah, well, think about what you're saying before you speak it. Some day I'll probably learn to do that, too.

[Squirminator2k]

The "don't get me wrong" was intentional, too. FutureWorm wrote three responses in three threads, and I agreed with two of them and didn't agree with one of them. I was Having Fun™.

Matty is all serious business (http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Serious_business).

I just placed an order for Worms Private Pack on the T17 store. So hopefully it will arrive :p

Damn didn't go trough. Didn't accept my debit card. Now I need to find out why... -__-

[Slick]

Good LORDY it's getting boring here.


We need to DO something. Something sinister, and secret! I know!
Lets talk about forum members behind their bac-.....nevermind.
Well, doing something would be nice. But what and when is another question. Another avatar fad would be to predictable.

[Squirminator2k]

How about we all pick a phrase, such as "Sure, it's rubbery, but at least it's not an elk!" which we have to use in every one of our posts for an entire day. Or something.

[MtlAngelus]

Or maybe speak with as many long and complex words as we can, in a very polite fashion for a day.

too subtle (not joking, sadly)

[Pigbuster]

Every time we quote someone we could run it through "moron" on the dialectizer.

Probably too difficult, though.

[bloopy]

A confession in the Worms community. (http://www.laene.nl/fb/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1274) :D

[Squirminator2k]

Wowzer.

Might be worth pointing out: I know several women who are actually very good at Worms but refuse to participate in the online community because it's too "blokish".

[Star Worms]

I don't understand all the gripe against so called "mickey mouse" degrees. People are paying £3000pa now, which will surely cover the costs. If someone wants to spend £9000 to study David Beckham, then let them, provided the course does not need extra money to be run.
