Colorlust Remix

Posted on 10/10/08 at 06:00:17 PM

In the spirit of the political season, I've remixed the previously posted Colorlust wallpaper into something extremely different. Those of you out there who are A) horribly political, B) insanely right and/or left wing will appreciate it. For those who are literarily inclined, you may recognize the text from Animal Farm, the allegorical masterpiece on the flaws and dangers of Socialism.

Disinformation Wallpaper That all being said, I'm completely apolitical. Obama, McCain... they can both go play in traffic as far as I'm concerned. It's not that I don't care about the future, or that I'm lazy... it's just that I don't believe that in the end either one would really do anything all that different than the other. Sure, on some issues they'd differ, but on the big, world changing issues, there's generally only one course of action a president can take.

Of course this is all in my opinion which doesn't matter much, as I'm apolitical. A plague on both their houses.

In other news, as you can probably tell by looking at the wallpaper, I've recently become enamored with applying color separation and dot patterns to non-print-related things. I'm not the first person to feel such love for the print process, but that doesn't make it any less wonderful a feeling. <3

The unity of Government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquillity at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very Liberty, which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee, that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national Union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the Palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion, that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts. - George Washington

Dude... Have you even read Animal Farm? If so, I'd suggest that you give it another try because you totally missed the point. It's not about "the flaws and dangers of Socialism", it's about Totalitarianism.

Good game wikipedia, EH GORDO?

Anyhow, soviet totalitarianism was a product of soviet socialism. Just like in Animal Farm. The farm's "government" starts as a form of socialism and eventually morphs into your totalitarian government.

That was Orwell's main theme in the majority of his books. Communism/socialism seemed like great ideas, but when put into practice they hardly ever worked.

Hardly ever worked... In a fictitious book.

So what's your point? They hardly ever worked in a book? So what? Actually there are quite a few socialist governments in the world and they run just fine.
Posted by alpha on 11/11/08 at 08:38:36 PM.
WTF: Wrong. There are five communist states in the world. That's five out of the ~195 existing countries in the world. And the only one that you could really say is doing fairly well is China, and that's really only in terms of their economy. Maaaaybe Vietnam if you were REALLY stretching.

Or perhaps you're talking about democratic countries who have elected communist heads of state? This isn't communism, buddy.

Thanks, try again.

Socialist not communist... There's a difference.
Posted by alpha on 11/11/08 at 11:14:32 PM.
Okay. Then there's 10, and I'm still right, as pretty much all 10 of those countries (besides China) are fucked.

Look at North Korea! They're "socialist" and thriving! </sarcasm>

Dictatorship != domcratic socialist government.

Thanks for proving my point. <3

Yo.
I'm trying to capture video game footage with a kworld DVD maker to put on to a DVD disk.
Is it better to capture the footage at a high resolution so when its resized to a lower resolution
the quality will be better? Am I right or will the quality be worse? I was thinking of capturing
the footage at 720x480 & it will resize to 640x480. I'm using a Mpeg 2 format.

P.S what's the best resolution for quality keeping when capturing video game footage via composite cable?

Regards
