Or, the other person is also crazy. That's really not a big deductive leap considering they willingly interact with you.Don't be doing any video of beautiful clouds. If you play that footage back slowly. You might see something. Then what.
Then I'll get really excited and call out to my wife."Woman, come look at this!" I'll shout.
"What?!" she say, in a rather clipped tone because she hates when I call her "Woman."
"Look at this video... there! Did you see it?"
"What, the leaf?" she'll ask. At this point, she's probably pretty frustrated with the way I'm wasting her time.
"Not a leaf, a tobacco flyer!"
"That's great..." she says. Now she's blatantly ignoring me.
"Tobacco flyer. Has a tail. Must be. Conspiracy. Jam It!" I'll babble.
She'll look at me now, paying attention for the first time since she dismissed the flyer as a mere leaf. No doubt she'll see the way my eyes dart around wildly, searching for artifacts in the sky. She'll see that I haven't shaved in a week, growing a beard. She'll see the yellow hair, the pro-marijuana t-shirt, and the stone with a hole in it that I'll be clutching in my hands. And then she'll look me in the eyes and say, "THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE YOU RETARD!"

<calling wife scenario>
BRILLIANT! Oh man take a bow!
I mentioned our friend SS to my wife who knows nothing about computers other than "this is a power button, you press it like this" "ooooooh!" and his desktop search ideas and keyboard chaning for the fingerly challanged and she had a really good laugh :)
Basically a person knowing next to nothing about computers (other than aim, youtube, msword [for writing and prining, god forbid she has to format something!], and uploading photos) not tainted by our "computer programmerness" thinks that to call SS a retard is an instalt to the retarded!
SS have you considered therapy? Lots of it?

What if the aliens are looking for sentient life and believe that the lawnmowers are the intelligent life? The aliens probably see us as the termites or something of the planet.

Wow, you seem to have completely ignored my $100 challenge. Okay, the challenge is off the table. All you had to do was say: "CodeSimian, I accept your $100 challenge." There was absolutely no risk on your part. I guess you are admitting that the keyboard does not beat the mouse in all circumstances, otherwise I'm sure you could've found someone who would be willing to stop using mice forever.

Fly Expert wanted - how fast is it crawling?
@bstorer said:
You didn't show Her the vent stack high speed crawler did you. Crawling so fast that they can't be seen. I just finished making 51 jpg scene captures from the crawl video segment. Then played it back again with a 1/10 second delay between jpgs. Nothing new other that it was moving extremely fast up and about the vent pipe. Creepy isn't it. We need a Fly expert.She'll look at me now, paying attention for the first time since she dismissed the flyer as a mere leaf. No doubt she'll see the way my eyes dart around wildly, searching for artifacts in the sky. She'll see that I haven't shaved in a week, growing a beard.

66mb file view 1:30.06 thru 1:31.25 for the fast moving object on the stack.
Just how fast is it crawling? Are they in your backyard? What do they feed on?

eBay. You could probably get it even cheaper, but you have to wade through the keyword spam first.

Now if I get it there, does it automatically make SS believe its a martian coming to reclaim his medicine stones? Or is that extra usually?

I think that's extra. You have to check the fine print in the auctions themselves. They can be sneaky like that about the details.

Ah well just gota make sure to avoid the Xbox 360 box scams. You never know when you gona buy a fly and find out that SS does not think that its a UFO! Gota be careful there, or you might throw your money away.

Hmhmhm,,. you know, I was just wondering -now that I see that some nuclear debate has already been done, or maybe not, I haven't read this thing on it's entirety-, Swampy, Oh Mighty Swampy, what are your thoughts on the possible environmental effects of the Large Hadron Collider taht is currently being built and soon due to be functioning? -I assume of course that you know wtf the LHC is-

Either that is weak attempt at a joke, or you haven't read the quote in my sig.
Seriously, by now everyone should realize that nothing Swampy says is without significance (to him). If he mentions "Mushroom Clouds" and "Nuclear Plants" in the same thread, he has a damn good reason (from his point of view).
-
I couldn't remember whether the nuclear disaster his mushroom clouds were predicting was specifically tied to the open debate he'd parenthesised. Did he mention that detail specifically before? I certainly don't remember the nuclear plant being tied to the 2012 deal before. (I have read that quote about half a dozen times before now)
Of course, he's more likely to cause the disaster himself by dancing and jamming it.
@ZippoLag: I doubt he knows what a hadron is. Perhaps he'll seach it with SSDS?
I fund it funny that he has to specify '(Plural)' after 'Clouds'

@Eternal Density said:

Well, he never said it would happen in 2012, I'll grant you that.

I think so, but I guess it's not really important.

Duh - it's not 2012 yet, therefore the LHC can obviously not destroy the universe.

I thought of something else: If the hole or rift doesn't cause an implosion, then it will spew forth large amounts of aliens.

How many of them are not bots?Right now I'm plotting the path of the Dumb old FlyerSwamp that gives away the mothership location. Hi Mamma I'm here...
Used the Swamp search to show the 49.16 thru 50.05. Looking good. The end frame is at 52.17 Is anybody else looking at these videos?
Download the original mpg file and check for yourself. Or are you scared of what you might see.
anyway I'll post the camstudio capture of the playback in an hour or 2. This alien tracking is sorta fun. Try it. There are quite a few more flights in the 1:06.00 area. Lots and lots. Somebody else plot this explosion of flyers. Or can't anybody here do better than poor poor dumb old SpectateSwamp

I guess Libraries never have much call for that type of service. It would be handy for anybody that can't afford a computer but knows about Swamp Search. Might just as well include the HomeLess. What a wonderful program that can do all that.
http://forums.thedailywtf.com/forums/p/7593/150472.aspx#150472
The HomeLess would come in with a DVD that had SSDS and their important data on it, make their changes and additions. They might even use a portable USB storage device Then burn their New ComputerLess system Disk. Every important record they need on a DVD.

I can see it now. In front of a divided audience. Techies and non-techies. The presenters "Search Experts" Developers and long time search users. Swamp data would be moving from computer to computer. Real projects burned and given to the crowd. Data shared. Knowledge shared. Desktop Search isn't that deep if a below average person can write one. Knowledge is power and the masses will know everything they need to know about Desktop Search, after this showdown.

How interesting that these "flyers" explode in numbers just as the weather gets warmer. It's almost as if your Alien Overlords are waking up from winter hibernation... why don't you spend you time out on the traplines searching for their winter dens instead of watching animals die horribly in the traps? The more time you waste here trying to convince us that your insects and leafs and video artifacts are aliens, the less time you're actually spending discovering their true purpose and thwarting the takeover of Earth.
Typical... the purported savior of the Earth too busy tooting his horn to actually bother with trying to save the Earth. Quite trying to get someone to pay attention to you over this and just go and do what needs doing. The real heroes are the ones that actually DO something, not just babble meaningless garbage at the media.
