After seeing Gov. Pence on a This Week interview, I have to think he's one of the slimiest governors I've seen interviewed. He steadfastly REFUSED to answer questions straight (I'm setting myself up for jokes, I know). Even totally straightforward questions like "do you think business owners should be allowed to discriminate against gay people?" Every single response was a "poor, poor me" deflection. "Ohh, the intent of the law is being tooooottally misunderstood! Hoosiers are the most kind, generous people, this is terrible!" Etcetc. Never answered anything of substance.

Probably wouldn't work because those are strictly exclusive instead in inclusive. Both of those are attacks on gay people.

"Gay therapy" comes from the perspective that being gay is evil and it needs to be cured. It'd be a pretty big 'fuck you' to most people attending a pride parade.
"Traditional Marriage" isn't a celebration of heterosexual marriage, it's an attempt to outlaw marriage for homosexuals.

There's certainly precedent for that happening.

A fact is just a statement of correctness, nothing more, and it can be a fact only in those certain contexts.
The following statement is factual: "In the KJV book of John, Nicodemus asks Jesus what being born into the Kingdom of God means." The following is not a factual statement: "Nicodemus asks Jesus what being born into the Kingdom of God means."

I used to work at a consulting company. If you ever quit the company, they would wait for a few days, then start calling around to the various companies you were ever placed at and casually asked to be connected to your desk. Most of the time, they'd get a puzzled "sorry, that person doesn't work here." But if they ever got through and verified that a former employee worked there now, it was lawsuit time.

But if Aardvarkjoe Catering, LLC is all of one person (as many llcs and catering businesses are) or a couple, then yes, he is participating in a gay wedding. He is not somehow not participating in the wedding if his company is hired by the wedding party.

Have you seen Sub-Sahara Africa? Do you know what religion they practice?
What religion do you think Southern Blacks practice?

This sounds suspiciously like the revisionism we hear these days that the South in the US Civil War was never fighting for slavery but instead "freedom" or the southern way of life (despite that the only issue either side gave much time too was slavery).

Pixar started as a hardware company. They hired animators originally to create content to show off what the Pixar Image Computer could do. And of course, they created lots of software to drive the machines. The company was founded by software/hardware guys: Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs, Alvy Ray Smith, and their early contributions are legendary in the field of computer graphics. They set up a software division separate from the rest of the company for the development and sale of RenderMan, which was the industry standard for CG in movies for many years. I can't remember what time period this way, but there was a 10-year stretch when 27 of the 30 thirty films nominated for Best Visual Effects in the Oscars used Pixar's Renderman.

They did commericals (I remember the old Listerine and Livesavers spots) to pay the bills while they worked on the software before their first movie.

Well, Pixar started as an independent spin-off from ILM. And Pixar and ILM now have the same parent company.

From the article, this is troubling:

12345678 is a much more secure password than 12345. If the latter is more in vogue now, it illustrates that too many aren't taking security seriously enough.

Sounds you got a mouse that defaulted to "left-hand mode." I bought a Razer "left-handed" mouse which was pretty much identical to the right-handed version, but with different button-mapping defaults.

That's often true, but so far most of the responses to him here have been fairly civilized.

When I was in college, after years of using the cheap keyboard my Dell came with, and then using the shoddy Ultrix machines in the Unix lab, I stepped into the SGI lab which had a number of high-end SGI graphics workstations and some nice SGI keyboards. Mostly I was there to test the file system browser SGI had shown off in Jurassic Park. It sucked. But still I was amazed. Amazed at how fast I could type! Amazed that the keyboard mattered that much with my typing speed. It would have been a misuse of those high-end workstations, but I wanted to do all of my programming homework in there.

Now that I'm older, I've noticed my WPM goes waaaay down on the cold nights when my fingers are stiff.

My first Razer mouse was a Lachesis. What a complete waste of money that was. After a bunch of headaches, it finally just broke not that long after the original purchase.

Against my better judgement, I got a Razer Deathadder. Results have been... mixed, per my comments above
