When I took sex ed in high school, we had to watch videos that featured Jennie Garth talking about breast cancer and Urkel rapping about abstinence and peer pressure. They were incredibly outdated even then, and any possible lessons they could have taught got lost in all the neon clothing and VHS fuzz.

Hasters posted:Wrong Tim Buckley, it's the lovely one that runs (ran?) a gaming convention that specifically banned all internet access and required everyone to physically connect to their network via Ethernet. What was the reasoning behind that? I guess maybe the internet ban was to stop people from just loving around on the internet instead of joining in with everyone (although why would you care if a few people want to do that?) but why no wifi? Just thought it would be really awesome to have bunch of cables all over the place for no reason?

Just thought it would be really awesome to have bunch of cables all over the place for no reason? Hotels (or convention centres, unless they're kinda modern and on the ball) aren't exactly equipped to deal with 2000 people going Internet at full tilt. I mean, a few can, but that's more a thing for Tier 1 tech universities, colos and the DoD. Also WiFi has to feed everyone the same 54~600Mbps off whatever channel it's on because of how electromagnetic radiation works, so above but even worse. At least you can segment a wired network.

Just thought it would be really awesome to have bunch of cables all over the place for no reason? The simplest reason I can think of was that he wanted it to be a closed social gathering where you had to play with each other - you couldn't play with your brother from Topeka while sitting at his convention. Or perhaps there were knowledge-based quizzes that he wanted no outside help on. Or there were team competitions on various games and it had to be people there at the convention and not some ringer you bring in by internet to give your team an advantage. Who knows. He seems a bit eccentric, and what I can gather is that his Digital Overload conventions seemed to be about social gatherings for his fans. You can do all your internet stuff when you're off by yourself, but once the group gaming starts, you're bound to the group that's there. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but it's the sense I get from some brief Google research.

IIRC: "You paid to come here to interact with other people and BY GOD you are going to interact with other people, you got that?" I've had really bad luck with public lans going to poo poo when there's a decent net connection. Everything is great and people are playing locally and having fun then the next thing you know it's WoW raid time. Suddenly 75% of the people are off in their own little world, raiding with the same group of people they do every night, and completely ignoring everybody else in the room. fake edit: what Deteriorata said

At the Jersey shore in the 1970s they had one channel that showed, 24/7, a thermometer, a barometer, and a moisture meter stuck on a featureless wall. I can't even remember if they bothered with music.

Oh, it's holding a ham. I thought it was a really weird bouquet of flowers. Also, the dinosaur is glaring at the guy's hand. It clearly does not appreciate being exposed like that.
