I could almost see that, someone might be concerned enough to check the lost in found after losing a water bottle, and isn't too concerned they might get the wrong one. (yuck).

But a nail? Someone must have been walking down the hall and saw a nail and thought, "Oh man, I better put this in the lost and found, someone must be wandering around here with just a hammer".

Posted on 06-24-06 11:07 PM, in Summer Mosts Discussion Thread - Votes go in other thread Link
I'm going to be a huge nerd and explain how tallying the votes could be made easier through the magic of Perl:

Step one: Download and install perl.
Step two: Copy all the votes into one large text file and name it votes.txt
Step three: Go get a snack.
Step four: Go to the directory you put votes.txt in within a command prompt
Step five: Paste this into the command prompt:

perl -e "open(VOTES, 'votes.txt');foreach(){chomp;($cat,$vote)=split
/ - /;next unless $vote;$vote=~s/\([^\)]*\)//g;$votes[0]=$vote;unless($cat=~/cou
ple|together/i){@votes=split(/\,|\, and|and/, $vote)}foreach(@votes){s/ $|^ //g;
$_=lc;$_=ucfirst;@{$votes{$cat}}[scalar(@{$votes{$cat}})]=$_;}}close(VOTES);open
(RESULTS,'>results.txt');foreach(keys %votes){print RESULTS qq^$_:\n^;my %users=
();foreach(@{$votes{$_}}){$users{$_}++}foreach(keys %users){print RESULTS qq^\t$
_ : $users{$_}\n^}}close RESULTS;

and hit enter.

Step six: Open the file results.txt in the same directory as votes.txt

Of course, it will list different names for the same person as seperate people. But I think you can take it from there.

I remember several times during school people threatened to "fuck me up". And I could never avoid laughing. They're trying to sound tough, but it just comes off as homoerotic.

On the last version of this board there was a thread with the title "Scientology", that had nothing to do with Scientology. This thread actually is about Scientology, or more specifically, The Church of Scientology.

So what are your thoughts? Is it an actual religious institution, deserving of its tax exempt status? Does it actually help people, and improve their lives? Or is ran by a bunch of greedy conartists, that take people's money and destroys their lives?

Or are they worse than that? Have they commit crimes? Such as kidnapping and murder?

I don't think that its any coincidence that the profession that they call evil, is the what they so closely resemble.

Like psychiatrists, I'm sure they do help some people. But also like psychiatrists, there's other people they don't, and some they make worse. And both psychiatrists and the CoS charge ridiculous fees reguardless.

But for all their chest-beating and bad press, I think they're generally harmless. Their constant fight to censure anyone who says anything bad about them only makes them look worse. It's actually kind of pathetic.

I'm definately not scared of them. They're out to get rich, not take over the world. People just tend to assume anything that seems powerful and/or secretive is up to something. But the McDonald's Corporation is bigger and more powerful than the CoS will ever be. And I don't know what they're hiding in that secret sauce. I'm actually a bit more scare of them than the CoS.

I haven't seen any proof that would lead me to believe that accusations of murder and kidnapping are any more than conspiracy theories. And I don't really understand how the death of Lisa McPherson can be blamed on the entire CoS. I haven't read anything that would lead me to believe that deprivation of food and water is a standard part of the "Introspection Rundown". If someone died at a Catholic church in South Bend, Indiana, I wouldn't blame it on the entire Roman Catholic Church.

There are always going to be cults, and gullible people. I think we should be happy that people are joining the harmless ones like the CoS, and Primerica, instead of Heaven's Gate.

Well, no, it's not really the same difference. If someone you know joined Heaven's Gate back in the mid-nineties, chances are they'd be dead now. However if they had join the CoS, they just might have a little less money.

I don't buy that any time someone stops taking their prescribed psychoactive drugs, they'll run off and commit suicide. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just saying it a very small percent, and that's out of the percent of new Scientologists that were taking any psychoactive medication.

The majority of the effect of antidepressant is a placebo affect. The same effect would likely come from just believing Scientology will help you. Come to think of it, one of the possible side effects of some antidepressants is suicidal tendencies.

Admitly, I should have said generally both times I said harmless. I don't mean to say the CoS is completely harmless, but definately moreso than a suicidal cult like Heaven's Gate.

This is just semantics, but I would say anything that is a danger, is by definition, dangerous. Or atleast anything that can cause harm.

I think you should, because I'm not really sure where you're going with that. "Deserves to die"?

I don't really think stupidity has anything to do with it. Just vulnerbility. And its not like Heaven's Gate's tagline was "The Suicide Cult". It was only a suicidal cult after they saw Hale-Bopp and decided to kill themselves. Before that they were just a cult.

7 am isn't that early. On first shift I had already been at work for 2 hours at 7am. And I'm not a morning person. Not even a daytime person. But even on second shift if I'm called in earlier due to some snafu (I am quite often), I just get up and go and sleep when get back. It's not that big of a deal.

I didn't know there was anything unusual about showering late. I get off work at 1am and shower at 2am. I guess that makes me a rebel.

I seems like John Kerry's talking about two seperate issues in that letter, net neutrality and selectively servicing areas. I guess there may be two issues covered by one bill (I hate that).

As far as that "Save the Internet" site goes, although I agree with the idea of net neutrality, they seem to be agruing the case for it in a very biased way.

They spend way too much time pushing hypothetical situations like ISPs purposely blocking or slowing down competing services. When the real issue is just ISP's desire to charge extra fee's to content providers and VOIP carriers to use more of the "last mile" bandwidth. Since bandwidth isn't infinate, this would likely lead to other site running slower. I think this is enough reason to support net neutrality, without worrying about mere possibilities when there's proof that they're actually going to happen.

I saw this today. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good, either. It had a fairly predictable plotline, complete with the villian capturing someone and giving away his plans. Your classic "Before I kill you, let tell you my genius plan for world domination...".

Other than that it was way to long, with surprisingly little content.

The acting was okay, although Spacy didn't seem to make a very good Lex. He just wasn't very menacing.

It was also somewhat derivative of, well, the Gospels. Or maybe that was just me.

Whenever I think of eighties movies, the first thing that comes to mind is that scene in the breakfast club where they're dancing along the railing to "We Are Not Alone".

Actually, whenever I just think of the eighties, that's the first thing that comes to mind.

Seems like we've done this thread.

Anyway, I'm a machinist. I average about 60 hours a week, so yeah, full time.

I setup machines and sharpen and set their tooling. I also run CNC machines and program them with code that looks like this:

N50;
M13 S6000 T1515;
G0 X.5 Z.04;
G1 X-.04 F.002;
G1 X.45 F.007;
G1 X.5 W-.025;
G0 X2.28 T0;

etc..etc...for the next two pages.

You say the biggest problems are hypothetical, but you've got to realise that it's the same matter of how another thing runs. Try getting something on TV that isn't your local broadcast channel, it's not going to be easy. Even if you get it there, the chances of a real audience are close to nothing.

The internet doesn't work like that. It's not supposed to.


See, this is what I mean. You're complaining about things that aren't even happening. Yes, if the internet became like TV, it would be hard get things on it. But who said it was going to become like TV? That's just speculation.

There's enough perfectly good reasons to support net neutrality, without making up new ones.

As I said, I'm all for the idea of net neutrality. But this "Save the Internet" site bases its argument on bias speculation, rather than focusing on the real issues, which make it no better than the telecom industry's "Hands Off My Internet" propaganda site.

Sad, huh?


Seems about right to me, considering the percent of the board members that are active.

I'm somewhat active, but I still don't know anyone here well enough to say who's the most of anything, hence my not voting.
