Though nothing will probably ever surpass my favorite of all time (from MSVC: “a reference that is not to const cannot be bound to a non-lvalue” — three negatives!), this is one of my new favs from Vista:
C:>ipconfig /release
The requested operation requires elevation.
I tried standing up, but it didn’t seem to help.
So, though I certainly so lean that way, I’m not the most left-wing guy in the world. However, it pisses me off that even the left-wing folks, including Obama, seem to be treating Afghanistan as the “good war”. Honestly, we think it’s worth a TRILLION DOLLARS while our economy is falling apart?
Anyway, these videos are pretty good. *sigh*.
So, I like Panic TV. But I really, really liked it when at first I thought it was just a continous video art project, funded with some advertising money.
Then I went to their site and found out that they’re NOT just trying to make a neat art project — they are “a fast growing entertainment network of flat screen TVs strategically placed in the most popular bars”. This bar / night life thing is actually what the company is about. Ugh!
At a time when we have been talking about company vision here quite a bit, this has been a reminder to me that such things are important. A company that is primarily trying to make a cool video art project for people to enjoy is different from a company primarily trying to squeeze advertising dollars out of Budwiser and Miller Lite, even if the result is similar.
