Human Gene Patents
Meh...
[info]rimpala
As you may now many human genes are now patented... which kind of makes me wonder... if one of these patent holders wanted to be really mean could they sue people for having procreative sex? (because reproducing would be using and exploiting said patented genes without authorization right?) Maybe I'm confusing patents with copyright I dunno... It would be kind of scary if you somehow found out your own body is legaly owned by someone else though some loophole... might make a good sci-fi story at least.

If you could only listen to one CD for the rest of your life, what would you choose and why?

That's what an ipod is, a CD with hours of the same music you can listen to the rest of your life as long as you still have the mp3s and plenty of money to buy replacement Ipods.

Would you rent or buy the home of your dreams if a brutal murder had taken place there? What if you got to live there rent-free? Would you think twice if neighbors warned you that it was haunted?

What (if any) books would you ban from a high school library? Are there certain subjects that you feel are inappropriate for teenagers regardless of literary merit?

You see, book banning is a pet peeve of mine. So many (mostly religious) groups are all too eager to pile a bunch of books into a pile and set them ablaze. To me all that's all about is controlling the way people think. Let a person think for them self and read what they want to read... or listen to what they want to listen to... or play what they want to play? Censorship is useless.

Internet and Devolution

You know how after a while you begin to see how much a waste of time the internet appears to be? I mean, any cynic will tell you everyone on here is either an internet troll, attention whore, or in the end just some sad lonely fellow stuck in their mom's basement.

Anything with a hint of intelligence or progress gets shot down in a sea of inflamatory comments and drama. We celebrate and value people who make the most idiotic comments out there. For example, bigotry and racism is seen as not only allowed but actually as a source of humor.

And then... sometimes I wonder how much of this is a reflection of our real selves. If this the true picture of what humanity has become? If not is it what humanity will become? Will the real world be controlled by the internet troll, ruling the world with anti-intellectualism?

Geez... it seems like every program out there wants to open a tool bar or downloader on one's computer without asking. Yahoo, AOL, EA Games and Google all like to do it. Seriously, unless you are a part of the operating system, or are photoshop or illustrator you have no business taking up my memory. >:(

Paganism is Politicly Incorrect
Magical rim 2
[info]rimpala
Just reflecting on the fact that when I was making holliday cards for my internship, while creating a few secular holliday cards allong with a Christmas, Hannukah and Kwanzaa card... I've decided to make a Yuletide card for the pagan version of the holliday.

The card ultimately got rejected today, even after I changed the symbol in it from a pantacle to the triquetra/trinity symbol that's both used by pagans and Christians. I was told that people will complain about a Yule card and claim that it's satanic. Because as you know, all pagans are satanists and some ignorant basterd that believes that could possibly sue us.

It's no big deal I guess... it's just a silly card... but I am rather botherd by the idea that other religions can be represented but paganism cannot. It's all because some mainstream religion like Christianity had to go and declaire anything pagan as satanic, which apparently gives them the moral grounds to sue the UCF Alumni Center if they decided to include a Yule card allong with the other hollidays represented, including Christmas. Am I allowed to be feel a little offended over this? Because I kind of am. I try to create an all-inclusive set of holliday cards that respect most of the mainstream religious hollidays and my own religion is rejected for being too controversal. How do you like that?

Ultimate Arcade Machine using MAME
Doc: thhhflllit
[info]rimpala
Been getting into emulators lately, I've downloaded a SNES one and a Playstation one for my computer ... mainly because I like playing old games.

There's an arcade emulator out there called "MAME" and I started wondering how cool it would be to buy a hand-me-down computer, upload the emulator and a bunch of arcade games, attach a joystick, and stick the whole thing in a wooden cabinet.

The games that absolutely need to be on the machine:

Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles
The Simpsons Game
Xmen
(all three the arcade beat-em-up games)
Crusn' USA/World/Exotica
Metal Slug
Samurai Showdown
World Heros 2
Street Fighter 2
Mortal Kombat 2
Dark Stalkers
Primal Rage
Killer Instinct 1 and 2
Pac-Man
Arkenoid
Galaga
Smash TV
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Dragon's Lair

and linegun games if I can somehow hook up a lightgun

And it has to smell like pizza, er... for that authentic 1980's arcade experience.

Well I Invented a Furry Species
Magical rim
[info]rimpala


"After days of being sick and not wanting to do much of anything the muse has finally struck. In the tradition of sergals and citras I wanted to crete my own species of "furry". I used some old character models I used for a failed attempt at a gaming job and created "The Eos."

They're basicly racoon and cat-like quadrupeds that thrived 55 million years ago during the Eocene period (where they got their name). During this time they have built a vast empire before the first human ever walked the earth before collapsing and eventually disapearing sometime after a mass extinction.

Personality-wise they are very curious, free-spirited, free-loving, and have an intoxication with "shinies"... always covering themselves with precious metals and gems and indulging in increasing amounts of decadence. Their lust for shinies causes much infighting and thievery. The attire they wear is purely for the sake of decoration.

Their empire's look is influenced by the ancient Khmer empire and other southeast-Asian cultures and might suggest the jungle environment they happen to thrive in, this was something borrowed from their origional incarnation as game chracters. Their coloration as of now is mostly black and white, in Holstien-cattle-like patches. They are always slender and sleek looking, and are about the size of a medium-sized dog.

If they become popular enough I might post an entry on them on wikifur. :) "

Just something my little brother pointed out one time that's kind of interesting

Ever seen "10 places to see before you die" well here's "5 places to live in if you want to die". They are not dangerous for war or political reasons, they just lack a few things required to substain life...(or contain a few things that put it at imediate risk) yet somehow there's a town of people living there!

Why is the World so Mean and Stupid?
Magical rim
[info]rimpala
Fucking news websites with comment sections, you really get to see how ignornant and mean-spirited people truely are. Take this entry on AOL News:

http://news.aol.com/article/good-samaritan-in-richmond-gang-rape/755514?icid=main|aim|dl1|link2|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2Fgood-samaritan-in-richmond-gang-rape%2F755514

A highschool girl in California gets raped with tons of people watching and it took someone coming home telling their mother and said mother calling the police to get it reported.

That's bad enough but here's the comments that followed. People went to town turning the article political and racial:

"America is turning into a Third World country. We already have our Third World leader in place."

"This is what happens when Democrats have children--anything goes--except of course for being responsible and accountable for one's actions..."

"50 years ago Richmond California wasn't a Ghetto. It was White middle class."

"Why isn't Shaprton there or Jackson defending this poor woman??? Because she was rapped by brothers and not white college boys who were innocent? The double standard is terrible! They will probably show up at their trail telling sob stories about how they were poor, misunderstood young boys!!!!"

"No one sees the oxymoron in calling an 18 year-old mother a "Good Samaratin." She's a skank, at best"

"It sounds like the primates got wild again. Not the first time & not the last."

"This is what happens when you allow the scum of the earth across your borders. They just breed more scum, and in time, they infiltrate and completely destroy your society and your nation. The same thing happened to Rome."

And thus I'm about to give up on not just the United States, but on humanity as well. It's hopeless, the world is never going to be anything other then hateful and stupid. And sure, maybe it's just trolls, but even so... it just shows how "cool" it is to spout hatefull things without thinking. I especially love how everyone is quick to judge the rapists as all blacks and hispanics and quick to call the entirety of both racists wild animals... yet the commenters seem guilty of the same thing.

This is what we are, it is why my country is a mess. It's not the recession or any politician out there. It is us, and I am ashamed.



My University in Trouble over Shoes

News article I've caught just now:
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=ys-cnbcjordan110509&prov=yhoo&type=lgns


Word is that UCF is expecting to accept sponcership by Nike and AirJordan since Addidas pulled out, but there is worries that because of this incident - one that the school had no control over - Addidas may sue the school over poor performance.

And to that I say

Oh yeah that's going to be great PR for Addias, taking money from a school!
Canceling the contract is fine but if Addias really does sue tell the judge and jury they're greedy, heartless misers.

And why should Michael Jordan's son wear anything other then his father's shoes? This is Machel Jordan we're talking about, who's much more then a shoe company can ever be.
