I think people like the spectacle (coz she's clearly bonkers) and goddamn her, her songs do tend to get stuck in the ol' head...and once she's in there, she's like a fungus.

no, it's not just you, Kol.

Haven't heard or seen anything by her (as far as I know) and I don't feel like missing anything :)
- Jemm
I avoid most modern music; especially the contrived crap that claims the lion's share of modern music.
- Mark H
A great majority of people would like to listen "nonsense music with voice" while driving,cooking etc. Keygen Muzaks could work like a charm but lack of voice might be question...
- Acharad Sami vanJoulee
On your side Kol. Can't stand her music
- Rasmus Lauridsen
I feel a bit better now. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I am aware of her existence, but that is all.
- Jerry Perez
Er. I don't? I really don't know any of her music at all.
- Jeremy (on vacation)
Avoiding the radio and MTV keeps a lot of garbage out of the ol' noggin.
- Fleagle
No, it's knowing what to avoid and what to listen to on the radio. There are some great shows on Radio 1 for instance.
- Kol Tregaskes
I don't know what it is, but I love her voice, the way she acts and her style.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I gave up on popular music after the Spice Girls broke up.
- Steven Perez
There is nothing wrong with enjoying popular music along with that which isn't. I do both and I'm pretty happy.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Haha, Steven. Yeah you just can't better the Spice Girls, erm, yeah. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Matthew, I'm not dissing pop music in general here, I'm just not getting why Lady Gaga specifically is rated so highly by people.
- Kol Tregaskes
Im not a fan either ...
- johnpiercy
I like electronic and I don't like her at all.
- Alex Scoble
I don't. She's annoying as hell.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
no 1 likes her, she's simply a function of the major labels being dead. She's all they can produce since they are so ridiculous that no self respecting artist will deal with them.
- echostreamer
Echostreamer, you are wrong. I like her, my girlfriend likes her. Other friends of mine like her.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Kol, that one comment was actually directed towards Steven. Sorry. :\
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I see. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes

- Will Higgins™
She or he?!?!?

I think she's a throwback to NY performance art. If you pay attention to her acts they are pretty similar, while I totally didn't get her for a long time she starts to grow on you. <sigh>

i used to leave the radio on really low when i went to sleep. however, this was back when overnight radio was almost entirely music. i have just made myself look REALLY OLD.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I guess you could just stream Pandora overnight or whatever other steaming music service you have.

Cannot do it, and I've tried. I focus in too much on the music and it keeps me up.

If you don't subscribe, Pandora will shut off after a bit if you ignore it for too long.

Anyone have any experience installing MySQL on Snow Leopard? I've done it on Tiger, and it was pretty easy. Seem to be having some problems on the new OS. From what I've read in the discussion forums, this is a common issue.

Did you install via the .pkg file? I have, as well as the pref pane. Can't connect to db, and cannot stop the server instance from running. Once I start it, it can't be stopped.
- Fleagle
I installed the 64-bit dmg along w/the prefpane. Looking at the mysql site it seems there's a new version now so maybe I'll try to update it and see if I run into any issues. What error is it giving you when you try to stop it?

No error. It just doesn't stop.

Hey guys, you know anyone who still needs a Wave invite? I don't think there are but I wanted to check.
I would just like some Wave activity. I've started several, and participated in several, and they seem to have gone without action for days. Is anyone still even using it?

What about "hey baby girl", I hear they like that one.
- Jesse Hattabaugh
There's nothing more demeaning to females than being called "baby mama." I hate it when things like that get accepted into the vernacular as being either funny, or cool. Hell, it's even considered 'respectful' by some. But what's the truth here? Bottom line is, a guy is basically saying to a girl that he looks at her as someone he wishes to impregnate. Yeah, that's real classy.
- Fleagle
I thought "baby mama" was for a woman you had *already* impregnated but to whom you were not married. I've never heard it used in the way you describe. See also: "baby daddy"
- Brad Greer
No. Not at all. I've heard guys say that to girls they're hitting on. As if that's going to do the trick.

Alabama Fans Already Celebrating Their National Championship - http://digg.com/footbal...
"I'm a Longhorn fan and I have no problem with that at all. UT doesn't stand a chance in hell. Sure, anything can happen in a football game, but Bama would have to have a pretty crappy day to lose to Texas. Texas should've never won the Big 12 Championship. Just makes me sad that other teams that deserve a shot do everything they're supposed to do and still get no shot. Meanwhile, Texas sneaks right on in. I want my teams to DESERVE a championship shot, not feel 'entitled' to one. BCS sucks."

"Entertainment Earth is currently taking preorders for Acme Archives' new Disney Underground series of prints that feature reinterpretations of Disney's classic characters. Calling in a rogue's gallery of culture-jamming contemporary artists for the project, the company commissioned works from Eli Trinh (whose epic Mickey re-envisioning "Super Maku" appears above), Grant Searcey, Lola, Steven Daily and Brit Pete McKee, who previously released pieces for Acme featuring characters from The Simpsons and Futurama. These giclées -- a fancy French word meaning art prints that were created from digital sources with high-end ink-jet printers -- are easily the most adorable things you will see today. More than that, they are the type of whimsical gems you'd expect to see in LA's renowned Gallery 1988 space. So with Disney characters meeting the world of underground pop art, can Shepard Fairey-inspired "Obey Donald" works be far behind? Because that would be kind of awesome."

Why "Phantom Menace" Sucks Tauntaun Balls (VIDEO) - http://digg.com/movies...
"This is ridiculous. It's like the polar opposite of Zero Punctuation. This guy obviously has watched his share of Cracked.com videos, and thinks he can be as funny (which isn't saying much to begin with). The annoying Dr. Zoidberg voice has got to go. And this was just part one? Jeebus. Oh, and let's not forget the fact that he's talking about freaking Phantom Menace here, a movie that was made years ago and is widely known as the WORST Star Wars movie ever. We need this guy to explain to us why? I think we get it at this point."

"Boise State was considered a huge underdog in that game regardless, and this game (along with the Utah vs. Alabama bowl game) signified the 'changing of the guard' for the BCS powerhouse teams. And I'm sorry, folks. App. St. is the only FCS team to beat a 1-A team because Michigan and the rest of the Big 10 really are that bad, not necessarily because they pulled a miracle."

@RAPatton I'm sure the songs are different, but there's no denying where Garbage got the idea. "If we sleep together, will I like you better?" vs. "I might like you better if we slept together." That's just not a coincidence.

I agree, i don't see MW2 as an overly sexist game, I'm sure there are girls who love playing MW2, I know one, she kick my ass at it and her name is Colleen. Some girls might be offended by games that are "made for girls" just as they are offend by sexist female game character stereotypes. To me it all depends on the person. The Left 4 dead series has the right balance for guys and girls to enjoy the game.
- Fee501st
What's "the right balance?"
- aldenoneil
That is probably hard to find, but L4D has characters I can relate to if I was in that situation. *edit*

Half life 2, has good strong female character, i know women who love that game
- Fee501st
I can totally relate to the characters in L4D. Always hungry. Always getting gunned down by my potential meal...
- Thomas
I don't find I relate to many characters in games, male or female. They're mostly caricatures, as there's not much complex human interaction, so we have to know them by their archetype/stereotype.
- aldenoneil
What about HL1 that a sexist game? they are no women in that game, except the lady talking on the tram and the HEV suit.
- Fee501st
I don't think it's an issue of having more female characters, I think there's just a dearth of relatable characters, period. The assumption is that males prefer action and women prefer emotion. Games have plenty of the former, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of the latter. It remains to be seen if a compelling game can be built around deep, realistic relationships, though.
- aldenoneil
I think that game "Heavy Rain" is trying too
- Fee501st
Its precursor did have an interactive sex scene. I'm glad they're trying.
- aldenoneil
@aldenoneil: That's because "deep, realistic relationships" aren't a whole hell of a lot of fun. I mean, what a horrifying game that could be...

Otto: more so the the RE series? hehe

They need to realize that women like action too. I, personally, just don't like war games or games that aim to scare the flippin' bejesus out of me.

Spinal Tap addressed the issue of sexism best, I think, when discussing the idea of their album cover as being too sexist: "There's such a fine line between clever and stupid."
- Fleagle
Ah, "Smell the Glove." I was just thinking of Spinal Tap when I bought a single off of a Scorpions album. Note the charming album art: http://hardrockheavymetal.file... That reinforces Veronica's point. This shit ain't new.
- aldenoneil
Aldenoneil, yea http://pzrservices.typepad.com/... its very old
- Fee501st
@aldenoneil. That was the album cover that actually inspired "Smell the Glove" from what I understand.
- Fleagle
At least the Scorpions have the excuse of knowing they were being sexist - that cover's so crass it's likely tongue in cheek, or at least a blatant f-you to sensibilities. I don't know that many video games (or your ad example, Fee) have that excuse - most portrayals of sexy/submissive females in games are painfully un-ironic.
- aldenoneil
@Fleagle - I didn't know that, but I absolutely believe it. This is one instance where the example is more extreme than the parody, methinks.

Those are interesting covers, but I think Ted Nugent did it best with Love Grenade (possibly NSFW, depending on where you work): http://blogs.nashvillescene.com/nashvil...
