| Coding: In The Movies Vs In Real Life | | 2008-08-14 12:29:01 | | 1. Code does not moveIn films and television code is always sailing across the screen at incredible speeds; it’s presented as an indecipherable stream of letters and numbers that make perfect sense to the programmer but dumbfound everyone else. I understand that to the non-savvy person the abilities of a programmer might seem amazingly complex, but do they honestly think we can read shit that isn’t sitting still? It’d be like trying to read six newspapers flying around in a tornado. Sure, I can watch a kernel compile, tail a log file, or simply monitor the scrolling output of a program - but the most value I get out of those activities is when execution stops and I can actually scroll back to read what the hell happened (unless the output was going slow enough I could read it as it happened). 2. Code is not green text on a black backgroundSure, code can be green text on a black background if you want it to, but most programmers use syntax highlighting and sysadmins configure thei... | | By: Stupid Tips | | |
| | No Real Life for the Karen | | 2008-08-12 08:14:31 | | The Karen are the largest minority group in Burma, now known as Myanmar. For many years they have fought for autonomy from the Burmese government without much success. A ray of hope was handed them during British rule. But as in many cases the Brits used them, abused them, and then left [...]... | | By: We Are Earthformed - so let's play in the mud | | |
| | Madonna is must prettier in real life | | 2008-07-29 19:32:14 | |
After a wave of hilarious photos made their rounds on the internet, Madonna’s publicist has spoken out, claiming that they were doctored. Would it be great if we all could release statements about bad pictures? “Attention everyone, that picture of me with thunder thighs was shot from an unflattering angle”
The photos, in which Madge bears [...]... | | By: Gossip Boulevard | | |

| It turns out British Lit is not all that helpful in real life. | | 2008-07-11 21:05:00 | | I only got a B? A B? Okay, a B+, but still...Oh, hi there. How are you? Don't mind me; I'm a little distraught. I just went and checked out my Bills IQ over at Bills.com . The "Bills IQ" is a measure of how smart a person is when it comes to credit, spending, saving, and financial planning. I figured, as a guy with a professional degree who frequently advises other people on what to do with their money, as well as a guy who once got a 108 -- that's 8 points extra credit -- on a test about British Literature, I'd ace this thing.Then I got a B+. So I'm not "excellent" in finances, and that came as a surprise to me. But I guess it should not have, since finances are complex things and even those of us who spend a lot of time thinking about it and a little time reading the business section can be buffaloed by the whole thing.Getting buffaloed in a financial context can mean a lack of savings, or high credit card debt, or even bankruptcy or foreclosure. It's not unusual for people to find t... | | By: Under The Eyes Of God | | |
| | | Is Online Poker Different Than Real Life Poker? | | 2008-07-04 00:00:00 | | In this day and age there are lots and lots of different ways to play poker, from just playing for fun, to playing for serious cash amounts in your local casino or online. There are a lot of differences when comparing the alternate versions of the games. I feel that you have to have a [...]... | | By: Resources Zone | | |

| Real Life Happens - Then We Deal With It! | | 2008-06-10 09:31:51 | |
On one of the campaigns that I work on, the client recently decided to redesign and relaunch a website. This involved lots of work to ensure that as quickly as we could, this site was properly optimised for the key terms that have driven traffic to it in the last 12 months, and as a result of these efforts, with only a small amount of flux, the vast majority of the rankings and traffic were retained with minimal disruption.
This is all part of our normal service. I know that lots of SEO companies work on a project based approach, but at Vertical Leap, we don't think work on sites in a project approach really deals with all of the ongoing aspects that are required for success.
It seems to constantly surprise my clients that I am able to do all kinds of things for them as part of the original contract that they sign with Vertical Leap. I can help people to set up a blog, we can create and distribute articles and press releases, and there is no limit to the number of times that I'll ... | | By: Sonicatu | | |
| | A real life terror | | 2008-05-28 11:57:00 | | Sometimes, when I can't get to sleep at night, I lie awake plotting my next horror story. I can do that because the bugaboos and vampires and creepy old women and shapeshifting demons that populate my stories are entirely made-up.There are real-life terrors, though, that keep me up at night, too. Like fire ants. Do you even know what fire ants can do to you? I do and I shudder to think about it at all. I, who can fall asleep picturing a centuries-old woman ripping off someone's eyeballs, don't want to picture fire ants at all. What I do want to picture is how to kill fire ants, and there's a place that can help with that. Click that link and you'll get all the information you need on recognizing and dealing with a fire ant infestation. Then you, like me, can go back to thinking about imaginary -- and less horrifying-- threats.... | | By: Under The Eyes Of God | | |
| | Boolywood Actress Parakh Madan Says :I was never sati-savitri in real life | | 2008-05-08 06:41:55 | | Parakh Madan, the shy girl of Star One’s Saathi Re…, has managed a big leap in her career with her lead in Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D, a spoof on repeatedly experimented film Devdas. The talent beautified, Parakh, spent few of her precious moments with us, sharing her thought on Dev D, unveiling her true being and a little more…Q. What's Dev D all about?A. Dev D, as the name suggests, is the short form of Devdas and it's a modern take on the classic love story of Devdas. I won’t say it is completely similar to Devdas, but then the basic story line and the basic characterization is the same.Adding to that, there are other modern elements like the character I play in the film, which was never there in the original Devdas. Basically you can call it a new and modern version of Devdas.Q. Making a spoof is a common practice in Hollywood. Do you think this formula can work in Bollywood too?A. Today, in Bollywood, no one can predict whether a spoof or re-make will work or not. It complet... | | By: Bollywood Actress GAllery | | |

| | Movie Review: Dan in Real Life | | 2008-03-13 01:20:00 | | Starring:Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook, Alison Pill, Brittany Robertson, John Mahoney, Marlene LawstoneDirector:Peter Hedges (Pieces of April)MPAA Rating:PG-13 for some innuendo.Release Date:October 2007Synopsis:Advice columnist and widowed father of three Dan Burns has met someone new. Marie is beautiful, she's smart, and she just so happens to be the girlfriend of Dan's brother, Mitch. With a publicly recognized moral compass, Dan finds himself torn between reaching for happiness and keeping the peace in his family.My Two Cents:I’m no fan of romantic comedies, but I’m no hater either. I’m used to seeing Steve Carell be a jerk in Bruce Almighty, a dorky virgin in The 40 Year Old Virgin, and a suicidal gay man in Little Miss Sunshine, so it was interesting to see him play a normal human being, for once.Carell plays Dan Burns, a widow and father of three girls aged 9, 14 and 17. He has a column in a local newspaper called Dan in Real Life, where he gives advice on love... | | By: Up+Start | | |

| | "Stoneman" is the latest film on real life crimes | | 2007-12-22 09:02:00 | | Entitled "Stoneman", the film will present the notorious real life criminal in the thriller format featuring K.K. Menon and Arbaaz Khan as cops.Says Arbaaz: "What makes this real life story interesting is the way it has been written. Manish Gupta, who has written Ram Gopal Varma's "Sarkar", has converted the gruesome serial killings into a thriller. Such is the screenplay that the needle of suspicion points to all the characters, including me and K.K. Menon.""Stoneman" is the latest film on real life crimes. Decades ago, R.K. Nayyar shot "Yeh Raaste Hain Pyar Ke" about a real life murder. Most recently, Anurag Basu's "Gangster - A Love Story" was inspired by the life and crimes of Abu Salem. ... | | By: Bollywood News | | |

Marines are actually humans powered with exoskeleton giving them a stronger match against the alien race - Zergs and Protoss..

| | | SSS 11 - How Blogging mirrors real life | | 2007-08-19 19:01:00 | | I have spent a lot of time this week pondering the direction in which I want my blog to go but I will talk of this some other day. As it is "Sueblimely Silly Sunday" time again I will instead let you have a peek into the less serious side of these thoughts. If I don't keep my mind focused it tends to wander off in all sorts of wild and wonderful and absolutely silly directions. Do I hear you saying 'keep taking the tablets dear"? The main focus of my more deep and meaningful thoughts was the social psychological aspects of blogging and the need it fills in today's society. I will bore you with all this in the near future, when I have had time to do more research - to make sure I am not talking a lot of bull. It is over 20 years since I formally studied the Social Sciences and although my interest in the subject has not waned I tend to get my Durkheims and Mazlo's confused. Weber has become just a type of BBQ and Wertheimer a vacuum cleaner. (I did not think a little name dropping w... | | By: Blogging Sueblimely | | |

I try not to make as many entries when the content is likely to be of a depressive nature.
Even though I'm finding every aspect of my life, at the present time, going in a bad direction I feel pretty good tonight. Maybe because of taking a five day vacation which has been rather enjoyable. My father has been in a hospice facility for the last ten days and I realize he will not return home. This is saddening but right now I'm thankful for these few extra weeks he remained alive. It will be shocking when I learn that he has passed. This I know even though it is expected at any time. I have found the slow dying process of many cancer patients to help with the grieving process more so than many of the rapidly fatal diseases. Part of me dreads returning to work tomorrow.

| | Making Of A Real Life Vav-Torah | | 2007-06-17 23:20:00 | | א' בתמוז תשס"זHere are some revealed explicit connections of this week's Torah portion (Chukat) with the events of my life this past shabbat.Zot - Designating TimeThough Chukat is this week's Torah portion (which began following this past shabbat), the verse [1] containing the word chukat (חקת) begins with the word zot (זאת). In the verse, the word zot immediately precedes the word chukat (the name of this week's Torah portion).The word zot can be separated into ז-את, a letter zayin (corresponding to the number seven) leading into the participle et. Grammatically, the Hebrew participle et "comes to add" something.The seder found in the verse under examination is:zayin-et-chukat-haTorahThe construct ז-את could be functioning to mark "something" intimately linked into the shabbat (the seventh day) which precedes the Torah portion Chukat (by way of preceding the word chukat in the portion), telling us that this particular shabbat "comes to add" something into the... | | By: Walking On Fire | | |

| | The so called me: a slice of real-life in the online world | | 2007-06-03 14:02:42 | | The so called me is very much a slice of the life of its author in New Jersey.
It’s quite a plain site but that “do it yourself” feeling refects the content of the blog very well. This is very much “life as it really is” which isn’t what you find in a lot of blogs these days and it makes it more unique for that.
You’ll get tales of the trials and tribulations of raising a two-year old, visiting mom, and the like.
Anyway, a place to look to see what normal life in New Jersey is actually like.

| | “He writes about Putin, and it’s interesting!”; Andrei Kolesnikov’s Real-Life Putin | | 2007-05-31 16:41:00 | | In association with the Blog-Carnival : Russian Media, my rather modest contribution is published below. The article is also available to download in (PDF) format in case it is too long to read in a blog post. Please visit Krusenstern for more information on the Blog Carnival as well as articles by other authors (available in English and German) about the state of the Russian Media.The presence of Russian president Vladimir Putin on national television is large, to say the least. Russian federal channels in their news segments talk exclusively about those in power. By some estimates the president, the cabinet, the parliament and the pro-Kremlin party United Russia together capture over 91% of news time. More intriguing is the fact that 71% of those 91% is positively inclined news, 28% is judged to be neutral and only 2% is clearly negative. Without looking at the objectiveness of these estimates, a glance at the 8-o’clock news on Rossiya or the 9-o’clock news on Perviy Kanal will c... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |
