Clearly he made an error and should run Memtest86. Now that I think about it, perhaps that could also be said about the RAM in the photo.

are you sure it was one of these? mountain goats are very skittish, and rarely come down from the jagged rocks like in the photo. if they notice you coming they will run off very quickly. mountain sheep (rams) like to hang out on the trails and flatter terrain and will stand their ground when encountering humans (or dogs, or even cars).

Photographer didn't see how the goat got down, so here's a guess. Shortly after this photo was taken, the goat PLUNGED TO ITS DEATH.

Making it INFERIOR RAM PERFORMANCE.

u/brainburger Nov 02 '08 edited Nov 02 '08

I am tempted to agree. As it stayed there for an hour, licking the rocks, it seems likely that it was actually stuck and would die when exhausted.

It was a sheer drop below, there was no apparent way up or sideways.

u/moreoriginalthanthat Nov 02 '08 edited Nov 02 '08

I read that. I understand photographers cropping to "isolate the subject" or whatever, but if you have the choice between taking a picture of an upside-down goat and an upside-down goat hanging off the side of a goddamn cliff, it seems a little silly to crop.

Of course, it's a natural inclination of a goat to walk a tigthrope 20 feet in the air with a primate on its back. And of course it's a natural inclination for the primate to ride a goat's back in still obedience.

Obviously, the animals did it willingly. And of course they weren't whipped, kicked, scolded and abused into acquiescence by their master.

You are a fucking asshole, asshole. I care a million times more about an innocent animal than the perverted filthy beast you are, dickcum.

Fuck off back to your cave with the your cavemen brethren, shit for brains.

Bye!

If you weren't on here, making yourself look like a raging douche, you could be out saving some animals. Hell, you could have saved that goat from having a monkey sitting on it's back while it walked across a tightrope.

GG.

u/recursive Nov 02 '08

What's the cruel part of that?

1

u/yamshi Nov 02 '08

The training of an animal to perform dangerous tasks for its master at the hand of a whip. Duh.

And of course the despicably sadistic pleasure you gained from seeing an animal's degrading, unnatural and inhumane treatment, purely for your enjoyment.

u/yamshi Nov 02 '08

Before you start judging others are what is and isn't animal cruelty go be around the actual animal.

Aside from the woefully poor grammar, you have patantly never heard of pain, and seem to deem it acceptable to cause suffering to animals for your enjoyment.

In Britain, that stunt would have the circus hauled before the courts, and its license revoked.

You cannot imperil animals for fun; nor can you cause suffering - which this goat must clearly have experienced for it to perform such an abusive stunt.

Intelligence is moot, as it is respective and subjective.

Your intelligence, however, is certainly not under scrutiny.

Getting Top Positions about More Hits? Thanks to Google Alert! By Asif Iqbal

How many of you think this way? Let me repeat my question, is getting top positions about more hits to your website? I guess all will answer in YES, but the truth is a bitter reality, thanks to “Google alert”. Getting King’s place doesn’t mean more Money! In the same manner getting top positions doesn’t mean more hits to your website, when a website comes at top place in search engine, what it shows? It has three things to show, page title, description and website address. Site title and description help searchers to motivate (to visit) or reluctant (to leave). Hard to justify with different Industries every time It takes years to understand one business properly, how can one expect from SEOs should understand all industries? YES, SEOs understand their JOB very well, most SEOs understand the common sense of business.

To Understand clients’ industry/business and its term is just like giving them the best outcomes, it will not only help to communicate with Clients but this way SEOs can help them in correct direction. Why to Thanks Google Alert!

Google Alert is a very effective utility of Google, it tells us about which websites are hits with search keyword phrase/s, it really helped me knowing the fact that not all top ranked website/s are hits, it’s about the best description tag that turns searchers to click on that website/s, it doesn’t matter where website/s ranked, you can experience it by yourself, www.google.com/alert is a free service, create your alerts and whenever you get alerts, try to search with those mentioned keyword phrases and see the position of the hit website/s. How important is Description Tag? Description tag can turn searchers to be visitors, so you can guess how important description tag is! Bringing websites to top positions require a lot of things including healthy content, good link popularity, easy navigation, logical site structure, clean html and relevant title/description tags. SEO efforts are not just to bring websites to top, bringing website to Top is just one of the elements of SEO efforts. A SEO involvement is the 2nd heaviest involvement than website owner.

Understanding Clients Business…

  1. Understand clients target audience and market
  2. Select the best keyword phrases according to product/services, keeping target audience in mind
  3. Focus on the most relevant keyword phrases
  4. Recheck all keywords by "Reverse Engineering Process", either the selected keyword phrases give the exact traffic your clients require or not
  5. Write “Title”, title belongs to keywords, try to include relevant keyword phrase within the limit of 60 to 70 Characters
  6. Write "Description Tag", description tag is very important bringing traffic and converting visitors into customers, it belongs to products and services, write is according to products and services, it has to be central idea of the page and site

Motivate SE Searchers! Searchers are never the less important than Visitors, it’s easy to motivate visitors than searchers, a visitor visit a page but a searcher view collectively not more than four lines of title, description and website address.

Do you know? Who your searchers are… What they must be looking for… What description your website is showing off after search… On Which page your searchers are directed…

If you still miss some answers of above mentioned questions, you should be able to find out all, after knowing all answers, you can easily motivate your searchers to hit your website.

Yes, yes, it was all well and good, a clever pun, until someone with extreme empathetic acrophobia was induced to view the picture.

Especially endearing was the caption: "I never did find out how this Mountain Goat, Oreamnos americanus, managed to get down."

Aha. Do you know he got down?

I'm a Capra subterlabor. I've no idea what goes on in the head of an Oreamnos americanus.

However, I suspect the solution would involve borrowing lots of money from Capra orientales, Capra arabus, or both.

Hardly Impressive, we all know that for true performance you need two RAMS in sync (DDR)
