Mental illness is a helluva drug. Didn't he register here once to yell in the yospos templeOS thread or was that just a troll account?

According to the video, that was him but pre Temple branding.

Also the comment they showed was gas-chambered.

BTW I want to reiterate dude was that special brand of mentally ill racist where his screeds about computer programming suddenly turn to shouting the n word.

That seemed to arrive once his schizophrenia worsened. Is that a possible development of paranoid type schizophrenia?

An excellent video about Terry Davis, the creator of a home-made Operating System called TempleOS. Davis was a fundamentalist who believed he could speak with God through his OS. He was also schizophrenic and frequent to racist-outbursts. Due warning as the subject-matter is intense, close-to-home, and very tragic.

Isn't that the guy who was the source of the joke about the computer program where every variable was a variant on the N-bomb?

Thanks for that.

Such a sad tale though. So many failures in society to have a man in such need of help getting driven further from what ever chance there actually was of it happening.

Probably shouldn't have watched that for Cheesemas though.

Thread, I got a request. Last summer I was reading these badass, really long articles you guys linked here about people solving weird murders like that serial killer who got caught after drowning three women on his boat or the lonely hotel dude whose internal organs exploded and no one knew why. Any more like these? I got a 3 week old kid, don't sleep much and need something to read at 3.30 AM.

Don't judge me.

Yeah it entered through his scrotum but no one noticed during the autopsy because touching balls is gay and you might catch gay from dead balls.

iirc it was also a virtually invisible point of entry because the skin had kinda folded back over it and there was no exit wound

I'm pretty sure people who have had to deal with corpses that have been rotting for weeks and other extremely nasty corpse situations, wouldn't be bothered by such a thing. I don't know why in the world you would think that is the reason.

If you read the article, they examined his scrotum pretty intensely from the offset due to the unexplained bruising, which makes this a really weird hill to die on.

quote:

Be more focussed and ruthless in directing our resources to businesses that will sustain the long term health of SPE - networks, broadcast TV shows, new movie franchises, digital distibution By the same token, stop or reduce support for areas that have no more value (Sandler movies, DVD)

quote:

There is a general "blah-ness" to the films we produce. Althought we manage to produce an innovative film once in awhile, Social Network, Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, we continue to be saddled with the mundane, formulaic Adam Sandler films. Let's raise the bar a little on the films we produce, and inspire employees that they are working on the next Social Network. That said, there's a strange dichotomy of encouraging us to be fiscally responsible, but then upper management allows certain talent and filmmakers to bleed us dry with their outlandish requests for private jets, wardrobe and grooming stylists - and are surprised when they are asked to work more than 5 hours to promote their film.

quote:

In TV and Theatrical, I hope management looks closely at the money spent on development and term deals to ensure efficiency. There are a lot of term deal personnel as well as creative personnel, yet we only release a dozen or so Columbia Pictures a year, for example. And will we still be paying for Adam Sandler? Why?
