'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The ones that drift across your screen are appalling.
I get why they need to advertise, really. And why people need to place them. But don't fuck with my ability to see what I came for.
I meant I blame the existence of those kinds of ads for people's (or at least my) reluctance to click through on ads in general.
Ah, sorry. I've clicked through on a few. But the more it moves, the less likely I am to do so, because the more I feel I'm being sold a wack bill of goods.
I fear the cooling fan on my G3 iBook is getting close to failing. If I go to a web page with lots of animated ads, the CPU usage is close to 100%, and if I leave it at a page like that too long, the cooling fan starts up. Then I get mad at the marketing bastards who are threatening damage to my computer.
I s'pose the answer is to get a faster laptop. But... a 900 mhz G3 should be adequate for web browsing.
I actually really like cross-multiplication, because I feel like I understand it and can use it with confidence.
Hello?? I'm bored. Y'all are supposed to entertain me!!!
Please proceed with the entertaining.
Dumbass ID backlash:
Richard Thompson of the Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center, the "public interest law firm" cited in Jones' opinion, made clear that he didn't consider the debate to be a waste.
"This should be done in the scientific community, debating it out. ... The debate is still going on. It's a new debate," Thompson said on MSNBC-TV.
If you want this debate to happen in the scientific community, then submit some fucking scientific papers to fucking peer review.
Bastard.
(IIRC, ID advocates have yet to submit anything to peer review.)

Those baby shoes are adorable! I want them!! It's probably too soon for me to stocking up for my as-yet hypothetical future child, right?
I almost never click through ads either. Say one out of 9790 times.
Say one out of 9790 times.
And what percentage is that, boys and girls?
So far I don't want to click on any of the ones that come up on provocateuse, but they do tend to link to celebrity-fannish sites, which might work very well for my audience.
I have no idea.

Crap. I only have a few hundred web pages to go before it's time for me to click through....

Do we need to discuss a name for the new click-through?
I'm completely depleted of heart.
Bad day, man. Really, really bad day.
