Topic: George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Paper*Boy]

From the C2C website: 
 
Science Breakthroughs/AI
 
Wed 03-28
 
First Half: Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University, Dimitar Sasselov, will discuss the unprecedented breakthroughs in the seemingly unrelated fields of synthetic biology and exoplanetary astronomy, and how they will shed new light on our place in the universe.
 
2nd Half: Dr. Brian Goertzel talks about his work on artificial intelligence (AI) and its various applications including creating benevolent superhuman AI, as well as applying AI to areas like financial prediction and gaming.
 


 
Two more bright scientists get schooled in Applied Dumb and Lazy... they probably told all their friends to listen, probably excitedly preparing for their big night right now.

These are actually both topics I am very interested in. I know a fair amount about the AI one, too. Maybe, just maybe, I will tune in.

…If you read through the financial statements filed for NISC....

Whoa, sorry, WOTR.  I just wanted to know if someone already knew.  I didn’t want to put you thru that!  I would rather listen to a split show between Hoagland and Luck Lady than read financial statements!  But thank you for your efforts.
 
It raises the possibility that the most obvious assessment of George’s internet remarks is the correct one.  If he had a “private business” on the internet, someone would know about it and you would have most likely found out about it.  Could it be that Noory’s “private business” is c2c?  And the “e-mail attacks” are normal e-mails sent to the network, Lisa, and others associated with the show?  Any e-mail which is critical of Noory is “hate” and anything demonized by the ugly word “hate” should be illegal.  This would make him a huge fan of censorship.

[M. Knight]

Jesus, I just found this on the Internet.

I travel alot, I fly uh...lot... sometimes I even get mugged travelling in taxis in third world countries... alot...

Um... So, what Ben is trying to say is... the matrix is real...

Interesting guest on in the last hour this morning talking about artificial intelligence. At one point, Simple George asks the guy, "So what does your AI lab look like ? Test tubes and stuff ?".

Utter flippin' moron.

[WOTR]

Oh the things that we do at 4 in the morning when somebody has committed murder and our radio is no longer worth listening to.  I had recalled NORCOM (likely from a past post here) and it sent me searching to try to discover what had become of the company.  Naturally, searching a decade old filing from a small company traded over the counter which had expressed interest in acquiring it led to some clues...  still not the complete answer.  The largest obstacle is that I believe that NORCOM was a privately held company...

[WOTR]

First off, I must thank you for the information concerning the reasons behind the incomplete names.  I must admit that I have been lazy in my researching.  While I have read the complete works of Poe (or at least the complete works as the publishers see fit to print under that title) and I had noticed the missing letters and numbers in some passages, I had never inquired as to the reasons behind the apparent swap of dashes for letters.  Oh, I had wondered quietly and privately yet never made an attempt to ferret out the reasons behind it.  Being a fan of Twains, I had noticed it in much of his work as well.  Naturally, in the stories, but even more pronounced in a collection of essays that he had written.  To think that after all of this time the answer was just a webpage away is maddening!  How much other information is out there?  How many other inquiries in my life could be answered by a search engine or random post on a site dedicated to Coast??

Just so you know, I begged MV to remove the entire  post. I gravely informed him that my "Considered Response to WOTR" might lead to all kinds of hell.

Vandevan wouldn't hear it.

"We're letting the fucker stand.  The bubble-headed baby's out of the box," MV said. 

Or something to that effect.  I can't be sure.  So much is blurring for me at this difficult time.

I find this to be outrageous!  Perhaps if the forum were to protest this inaction or lobby MV to remove the offending post?  I find it unbearable to think that you should be eternally punished, suffering the effects of a single indiscretion for eternity (or so long as the internet is around.)  That in a moment of weakness and confusion you hit post and it will not be removed is unthinkable.  I would not say this about our gracious host if not for the fact that he recently demonstrated his willingness to remove the offending information on a man going by the handle of Fort Rock; a man who has apparently spent a lifetime building a resume of perversion.  After such a man pleaded and petitioned our moderator,  MV had removed the posts.


That such a man could hold sway and have the documents expunged while Vandevan flatly refuses to entertain your appeal is disgraceful.  While I am just a humble poster, and hold little sway, I shall implore and outright beg our host, on your behalf, to reconsider.  When removing the information on FR, Vandervan had said that pity had taken control.  Perhaps your message to him did not make the repercussions of allowing your post to stand clear to him?  Perhaps it is simply a matter of a misunderstanding and that the response was not a callous as it appears?


On the one hand, I can see where one could say that the bubble-headed baby is out of the box.  On the other hand, it might not be too late to shove him back in or even outright slaughter it.  Time is our enemy at this late hour.

At the center of the Nooron brain is a black hole which sucks and neutralizes all intelligence into itself within the range of the sound of his creepy voice.  And I don't like him.

[texaskdog]

Funny how his "online bullying" guest sure sounded like George was complaining about Coastgab.  Is this an example of Torsis Interference??? :P:P

could it be a portal?

 I agree - that's the most dismal bit of drudgery conceivable...

 The only possible answer to such monumental ignorance and intellectual sloth is to say, "Right...and 'stuff'." And then tell George there's someone at the door and hang up.

[fysisist]

If george is bringing up internet comments to quests then something must be working??? Maybe this site is more than an "annoying"? Maybe it's a ghost portal.

If we keep it up, I have a feeling George is gonna unleash these guys on us: http://www.reputation.com/myreputation

I thought inside his head was a black hole with no brain.
As norron would say,this is a no brainer.

This is way heavy.  Best referred to Kaku/Hawking's ilk.

But Georgie wouldn't miss a beat.   After a commercial, he'd be back on with a "favorite guest" who had "called in to share some important updates:" most likely a very groggy-sounding Joshua Warren who wouldn't seem quite sure why "he had called," or possibly Lionel Fanthorpe, inexplicably "calling in" from the middle of a cricket field.
After the show, Georgie the Rationalizer would quip to the Team how he didn't really want to talk to that guy Brian Goertzel anyway; him and all his science and stuff -- he's just a hater.
After the show, Warren or Fanthorpe would swear to any within earshot how they'd be contacting an attorney, to either secure a personal services contract with Premier, or to obtain a restraining order enjoining against telephone calls from anyone associated with Noory.

is valdez ok?

If GN says:  "And stuff like that"  or "And things like that" one more time..........I am going to strangle myself!
 
He has the vocabulary of a 7th Grader.....ok, all of you 7th Graders, I am sorry.......2nd Grader....

yes, is valdez ok?

Get the necktie ready.

"and stuff like that -- oh, someone's at the door!  I'll be right back!" puts down phone noisily, but very quietly turns on nearby tape recorder with soothing music that eases into Art Bell announcing "we're back now" and then talking about very much alive, not-tortured cats.  By the time gorge snory returns from an unscheduled commercial, the audience has wondered where Art has gone.
 
Or! "and stuff like that -- oh, someone's at the door!  I'll be right back!" and seconds later mixed sounds of gunfire and 10,000 airplanes on the roof are heard in the distance, and maybe someone got the sound of GN screaming so throw that in as well.  "Oh, there's blood, blood everywhere!" Phone picked up, dropped, picked up again.  Guest:  "Ah, George, you still there?  Where were we?"

[Art_s Farts]

Looks like our boy Snoory needs to take a lesson from a pro's pro, George Knapp. This is taken directly from an online chat that Mr. Knapp took part in this past January

Comment From NAME DELETED:
"George, do you follow any of the C2C chat forums when you are doing live shows?"

George Knapp:
"I am not that nimble. I try to put all of my focus onto the guest and pay attention to what they are saying. I do look at emails and the fast blast stuff during some of the breaks, and I get emails from our staff but I have a tendency to screw up anything technical so I do not veer too far off the path, and I think following a chat forum during a live broadcast would be a recipe for disaster...for ME,anyway."

Simple George obviously pays no attention to his guests

Someone should print this comment out and staple it to the Nooron's forehead

[Zelig]

Great, Linda Moulton Howe is on this evening!  I've been wondering what's up with the honey bees...? (I really hope I can find Phil Hendrie on tunein radio...)

[mannequin]

With this post, I expect Geroge to get the idea and begin implememtation..

Lmao! You mean...inception? Is it possible?

hey... haven't seen you around in a while.  glad you're back.

i heard from him a couple days ago.  he's away dealing with family/life type stuff, but he's fine and will return.

I hope all is well.  I miss his recaps.  I had thought he might have been scouted here by Premiere, signed, and placed on contract for writing the nightly recaps on the Coast website.
