On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm thoroughly confused.


Happy birthday, AnAxemRanger!

This is literally your worst idea ever. Don't do this.

60-80 hours a week without school is tough enough.

Edit: if it's without any classes at all though, you could probably do it. Or a few undergraduate level classes at night or something... could pull it off. Anything more than that, I just don't see it happening, especially graduate level course work. You don't even know how you'll perform at the undergrad level, I strongly doubt they'd let a student fresh out of high school take grad classes, considering you have to demonstrate a special case to take them as an undergrad to begin with....

actually the amount of time it takes for people to reach high line ranks in IRC, you are very far away from alt.

Make two Latest Posts categories - one for global latest posts for people who want to read the general sections of the board or things like that and one for the rom hacking section, that way people who come here with the utilitarian purpose of learning more about rom hacking or getting updates on what others are doing don't have to worry about reading other content.

Personally, its not time for this version of acmlm to go yet.
Yes, I have not been much at all, but off and on I watch this place and the post.
Just like you said black, if there a lack of content or new things being brought to the table, yeah I could see why your in a jam.

Pretty much, its the user end part "If they want" acmlm 2 exist, if they have no need for it and go elsewhere, I would quitely let this board go offline.

I'm for this place seing a new change, and trying to use whatever skills I have to make sure its stable and successfull.


~MikeFuryuken!~


In that case, my recommendation is for you and your fellow rom-hackers to just keep on using the site like nothing has happened. It seems like there has been a flurry of activity lately related to rom-hacking and I don't know how the actual staff feel, but I think that's a positive thing to me. It seems like we're less bullshit, more cool stuff happening now.

Actually, I agree. Giving people as much flexibility as possible over their user experience is something I think that should be definitely promoted. One of the nice things about AB is the current amount of user control one gets over one's own experience. Further sensible extensions of that seem like a good path to take, imho.

http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/01/information-might-want-be-free-then-again-it-might-not

I found this to be very revealing of the disconnect between the new and old.

For instance, this bit here:


Would the librarians at Stanford sit idly by if someone backed up a semi and started shoveling hundreds of thousands of books into it? Sure, there's no evidence that you're planning to steal the books. Maybe you intend to return them all in two weeks. But come on. Are we really all expected to be that stupid?

Likewise, Swartz may say that he had no intention of putting his 4.8 million documents online, but come on. It's a pretty safe assumption, no? Swartz's suggestion that he just wanted to perform a research project is a wee bit improbable.


The difference here is that Swartz's actions still left original copies in place, he did not walk in and take the only possible copies of these articles, he just made new ones, which was within his rights as a campus library user. Now, he did cross matters a bit by breaking into the closet, I agree, but to conflate this with stealing the only copies existing at a library just highlights how out of touch the older generation is with the Shiny 'New' Digital Future.

Further nuggets by the blogger in question in the comments:

So you're saying that if a library has a dozen copies of a book, it's OK to steal one of them because there are plenty left for everyone else?


Yeah, he just doesn't get it.

*eye roll*

If true, this would be very impressive. We've recognized the ability of microbes in the past to be able to synthesize environmental toxins (well, for us and many other macroorganisms they are toxins.. maybe not for certain microbes ). I have not yet read the actual research this is based on (was planning on going looking for PDFs later today)... but based on the WSJ article, this is very exciting, especially considering how long we expected the recovery in the Gulf to take from an environmental standpoint. Now we just have to see wait for the social and economic recoveries.

This is a (terrible) thread.


I did not know you were in favor of "academic" (as if, more like profiteering) publishers maintaining a stranglehold on information paid for and funded by the public at large and then charging us back for it.

The current way information is disseminated at present is the worst possible model out there for flow of information. Publishing academics need to move away from closed journals and put their focus on publishing into open access journals entirely.
