never thought i’d see the moron matt drudge link to a story setting up a video like this:
doing well on his feet, adam kokesh lays out the correct meaning of liberty to a clodfest that probably doesn’t hear a word. he correctly catches himself early, recognizing that force (AKA violence) isn’t problematic; merely the initiation of it. huge for drudge’s audience to be exposed to that. it’s a start.
ugh. what a pain in the ass opening my yap. to correct semi-ignorant shit i wrote on a whim, just spent hours figuring this out:
didn’t proof comment well enough. obviously, TAS doesn’t help compute groundspeed in bombsight; the bombsight measures groundspeed. bombing tables are used to convert bombing altitude (height above target, not above sea level), TAS, and type of bomb to trail (horizontal bomb lag in mils) and disc speed (5300 / actual time of fall), which are then set manually on bombsight, which — upon synchronizing for rate — obtains groundspeed and solves for point of release.
dey wuz some smart muthafuckahs back in da 40s. all of that (and more) with analog computers. didn’t know (or recall?) until recently that the bombsight essentially flew the plane during the bomb run. WTF. (more…)
imagine this transaction taking place without intawebbing:
can someone please tell me the name of the persian wedding song (modern) that’s translated something like, “groom, kiss the bride right away. bride, kiss the groom right away”? can’t speak farsi, but phonetically i recall, “domo de bayboos y’allah” etc. many phrases end in “y’allah”, and the crowd says that with the band. it’s in a fast 6/8 time.

old video i just posted to YouTube:
geeks on the internet, and YouTube especially, have awakened a lock industry that had grown even fatter than the crime of copyblight (“patents” in this case) allowed. hordes of puzzle-driven monomaniacs non-destructively defeat locks on camera, exposing the joke of conventional “security”. fortunate, most of the geeks don’t wring hands overmuch regarding the desirability of publishing successful attacks.
makes shopping for locks damned difficult though. the more your brain learns, the more it gets squashed against the other side of the equation — the impossibility of complete practical security. when to stop? it’s rough.
i now know so much about locks that i’ve begun, almost autonomically, to dabble in casual elementary picking here and there. i watch YouTube lockpick vids with increasing adoration for the monomaniacs. 
if, against the odds, you haven’t at least heard of lock bumping, raking, or shimming, those topics aren’t going back in the bag. may as well start to find out how much most locks suck. YouTube and amateurs are hastening the golden age of lock design. blessed be the market.
went on a YouTube exploration yesterday, noting the piles of bullshit paulists were slinging. the paulist mob is even stupider than four years ago. (more…)
state uncertainty aside, i’m pretty sure that within a few years the most popular jobs in america will be “like”-button-clicker and bullshit-review-writer. the enslavement of “facebook” droopism. want to open a new business? better get the machine working. let’s all “connect”! love me. i’ll love you! friends? (more…)
anti-market attitudes run deep in the goonited states. as YouTube phased in ads for vids, complaints in comments appeared to pretend that YouTube exists to serve users. i’m on the other side; boggles my brain that so many wonderful things on the internet require no direct payment. want me to watch an ad? great. if it looks too long for the vid i clicked, i’ll probably dump out and no problem.
anyway, damned nice to see this enthusiastic sensible message at IMDb amongst the foolishness:

watch this vacant fossil grope for a principle while pretending he’s long had it covered:
you suck!
i’m in love. her name is GIMPtricks. she’s a giant snow queen with a smile like a sunrise on an ice floe. you could go blind looking at this girl.
GIMPtricks, let’s get married and have beautiful GIMP sex right here on the floor. sing to me, dahling. tutorialize my dumb ass.

“Rock And Roll” by led zeppelin may be the “simplest” song most fucked up by cover bands. this is because most people, understandably, hear the drum intro as beginning on beat 1 instead of 3.5. nearly guaranteed that when you hear this song done in a bar the entrance of the rest of the band will be an awkward collision. now, technology and a right-minded dabbler collide to save humanity. praise be to allah:
