How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways
Nothing. I was just intrigued by this "Deep Web".
I got the Tor Browser and played around on the hidden wiki for a few hours......and on anonchan.
I read the majority of that today. I felt nervous the entire time I was using the network and felt like a criminal looking around the hidden wiki and silk road.
I honestly can't bring myself to look at anything else.

I played with TOR a few years ago out of curiosity.
My impression was that it seemed to provide bandwidth similar to that of a 14.4 dial-up connection, with latency comparable to a multi-hop satellite connection.
Fun fact: TOR is principally funded by the US Government.
Fun fact #2: TOR is fairly insecure. There have been a number of successful attacks against it which have exposed the IP addresses of targeted users. In fact, by using TOR, you are probably making yourself a bigger target simply by participating in a network which, by its very nature, attracts suspicion and hackers.
Fun fact #3: You are also opening yourself up to criminal liability by acting as a TOR node, such as the case of William Weber who was busted last November and has been charged with distributing child pornography. Weber himself was not engaged in the act, however someone else was anonymously torrenting child **** through the TOR system, and some of it wound up exiting the network through one of Weber's computers.
Fun fact #4: Cleanfeed. (This scares me more than SOPA.)

I have come to loathe people posting to forums using their phones. I am not talking about the occassional misspelling or typo (or the incorrect use of "weary" when they mean "leery" or "wary").
I am talking about the complete lack of paragraphs, capitalization and punctuation. I've posted before or sent a text before when I was not legally capable of driving and they never looked as bad as what some people today consider acceptable.

When you're at work, chatting with the helpdesk on a password problem, and the dude on the phone says "shut-up" then hangs the phone up, do you chase him down and tattle to his boss, or let it go?

****, am I ever going to get to drive the green Miata again? That ************ went to the track 3 times last year, lol. Now it's looking like it won't get on track until June.

But if he's just an ******* then go for it.

Jayne is just simple minded, hence the "Can I come in?" But he does have some loyal feelings to some of the crew, and at least a little respect for them. He was truly embarrassed by the big deal the Mudders made over him because he knew he'd not done anything righteous to deserve the praise. Then he realized how fun it was to be thought of as the hero (something new to him), so he lived it up for a while and took advantage of it. He is conflicted and complex, in a simple sort of way.

Jayne has some great lines. The one about, "if wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak" and the one where he's bitching about no payoff (something like, "nothing into nothing, carry the nothing...").

I don't think I could have put it better myself.
Explode!? I don't wanna explode!
Shiny! Let's be bad guys.
Gee, it sure would've been nice to have some grenades don'tcha think?! (To Mal, while being pursed by Reavers, after having been told by Mal to leave the grenades behind when packing for a "simple" robbery earlier in the day.)
Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight. Or if he bothers me. Or if there's a woman. Or if I'm gettin' paid--mostly only when I'm gettin' paid.
Mal, she is starting to damage my calm!

So I've been trying to track down a fellow I know in high school, who now lives in NorCal. Googled his name along with the name of the company I knew he was working for. One of the pages I came up with was a list of patents with his name on them.

Speaking of Firefly, has anyone seen Castle? They even had an episode with Adam Baldwin (who played Jayne) as a reckless cop. Was highly entertaining to see the two of them work together again. They also make occasional references to Firefly in the series.

often after demonstrating said device, the sales staff and customers of the company in question would circle up for discussions and such with, invariably, one individual from the circle closest to, yet facing away from, the haptic device. which was at roughly waist level.
so i offered up the obvious term of hapdick device.

The only real issue with the car is that the radiator support is off. That is why the hood does not shut properly and the driver side headlight does not go down. Luckily I have a sawzall and a welder, so fixing radiator support is no problem.
