If an individual disagrees with that view of "society", and I agree with that individual, then just repeating that view of society doesn't really refute anything. It does however e…

"It's all a big game, and most people have to play to some degree to be able to do what they love." Sure.. but then don't go mixing those two things up. There is work (entertainmen…

Nah, you're just infected ^^

"try talking to an actual professional artist" Well duh. However, I see what you did there. Why the arbitrary qualification? Why does it have to be a professional artist, why not a…

What makes you think he considered himself artist, or ranting on stage, or making jokes, art? Quotes please.

So? It's not like they, or I, would care. Consider them stricken.

"humans live, swim and breath in commerce. It was here before art-with-a-capital-A and it will outlive it." Who is talking about commerce? It's about using emotion to lead people t…

"it's fairly obvious that something can have artistic merit and be designed to promote something" doesn't constitute an argument either, does it. So there's not really anything the…

Well, there's many ways to mean the word "art" or "artist", aren't there. Of course something that is skillfully crafted is art "on some level". On another, the motivation and goal…

OpenSUSE hands down.

Artistic value? The fuck? "Here's the deal, folks. You do a commercial - you're off the artistic roll call, forever. End of story. Okay? You're another whore at the capitalist gang…

"You know, it's pretty easy to poke holes in something. It's another thing entirely to come up with something better." I have no problems with coming up with something better. More…

"If you win an election and then "betray" your voters, you won't be reelected." That ain't accountability, that's a joke. If you pay me 5000$ to do a job, and I don't lift a finger…

Or Erich Fromm, or Marc Aurel... etc., etc.... learn from the best or stfu, seriously. Both blogs should be shot.

"So hacks are not solid marketing?" How does that follow from "solid marketing doesn't make it a hack"? "I think SEOs understand how people and the Internet work" Yet you don't eve…

My brain is what creates the experience out of the sensory input and its current state, memory etc. Therefore at best you may contribute to that sensory input -- the experience is …

The wittiest thing I read today was at the very bottom of a HN discussion, whooshing over people's heads :)

"the better players also play a similarly wide range of formats" I guess the keyword is "similarly" here? VLC is the only player that plays all video clips from crappy digital came…

I remember the ads being easy to tune out.. they were never animated and didn't take up much space. The speed and way better UI of Opera made it more than worthwhile. Same goes for…

Ditto. I've switched to generating passwords that are as long as the site allows (well, up to 80 or so, with spaces and special characters and whatnot). I think I'd rather stop rea…

"they actually can't delete these old images." They can, it just would break those old links. A dumb decision ages ago doesn't force you to stick to it as you seem to imply.

For me the page didn't load at first, because some script or other was on a host that didn't respond. So maybe try turning off Javascript, it did the trick for me.

Then simply look through all non-deleted documents and see which files are still referenced and which ones are orphans. Delete the orphans. Done.

It's not possible to delete those documents because they didn't have mechanisms in place to delete them back then? It's not possible to physically delete documents that have been f…

>> In the title, "from 2007" means the article was published on July 15th, 2007 And so is the image that is part of the private document which supposedly was deleted, but can still…
