I would just like to know out of curiosity... what fucking language are you guys speaking? Is there a translator in this house? I don't like kitty porn, headless corpses or flamewars, therefore I have zero desire to even go to 4chan... but... my curiosity at your odd language may make me break down and... eh, no it won't...
But if someone wants to translate, I'll read it:-)
Well... it's worth pointing out that Roosevelt supported Britain as much as was politically possible through the lend / lease program with Britain. After WWI public opinion was loath to support "yet another" European war. In fact, I think it's fair to say Roosevelt was provoking an attack supporting Britain as he did.
Of course that's not to say the action was "selfless". Roosevelt understood, more than the public the importance of keeping Britain from being conquered. It is rare that any action in international relations is "selfless" (and when selfless acts are committed they are always minor and occasionally disasters), but the support the USA gave to Europe during WWII and the cold war is probably as close as you'll get.
Actually I found it somewhat ironic that the piece was apparently performed by "Peace Orchestra" on a system that would very easily lend itself to war. I wonder if that was intentional.
I don't know about that. This is a fan page... do you get access to that kind of info on people who 'like' your page? I always assumed not, though I admit I've never actually researched it.

But why should you have to suffer that kind of discomfort?
Because... in the long view of life it really isn't that big a deal. Why hammer a dude who likely already has some life issues he's dealing with? And why get yourself worked up over something as ephemeral as a plane ride? I still remember the situation because it was physically uncomfortable, but my body is no worse for having gone through it.
And from a marketing perspective, no one will buy "fat" seats. People can already buy larger seats in business class, but that's cost prohibitive for a lot of people.
Funny, I had exactly the same situation, except my guy got to his seat before I got to mine. He was already spilling into my seat with the arm rest up, and there was no way that thing was going back down with him in his seat. I'm not a small person (6'3" and about 210+lbs at the time), but he was very humble and obviously at least a little embarrassed, so I just rolled with it. It was uncomfortable, but I survived. But I'll say if the guy was a dick, or perhaps if I had gotten there first, I'd have done the same as you.
Exactly, you explained it much better than I could have.
But we've done the big probe, can't reach interesting areas thing - why not try many small single/dual purpose probes? And yeah, I'm talking very tiny with just enough transmission power to get their signals back to the orbiter above. I see both angles, I'm just raising a general talking point.
I've always wondered why NASA makes such huge and complicated probes when they could just make many, many tiny and expendable ones. I recall seeing a project under consideration where a fairly large number of probes would roll around looking for signs of water. Since there would be so many of them, we wouldn't suffer a total loss if a probe took a somewhat risky maneuver down a steep ravine, for example. I always hold my breath when a robot deploys or is transported for the first time, so I can only imagine how the scientists feel about this.
Evidently, you haven't been to too many attorneys because those are the same exact responses you would get from them! Though they'd use bigger words and charge you $350 for an opinion.
I was planning on going to defcon (but everyone bailed on me and I don't know very many hard-core computer nerds - ugh!)... but I do wonder about smart cell phones there. I was hesitant to even bring my G1 there because as a computer it certainly can be hacked by some of the evil geniuses which inhabit that place. Is anyone else not going to bring the smart phone at all because of this - or am I just very paranoid?
I was planning on digging up an old crappy phone which basically just makes calls. (But given this article, it sounds like no matter what happens, I'd be screwed!)
After reading your post, I'm glad I didn't watch the vid in the past when the "opportunity" arose right after the incident occurred. I believe a major newspaper actually published the vid on their website - amazing after the description you wrote.
I didn't watch the vid because I didn't want to watch gore (though I don't want to watch it), I didn't watch it out of respect for the guy and his family. If I was brutally murdered by assholes I certainly wouldn't want to have that seen by thousands of people.
Eh - fuck these guys. Serves as a reminder as to why they are our enemies.
I wonder if iTunes could pull something like this off with bands. Holy hell, that'd be a day in paradise now, wouldn't it? Finally break the back of the RIAA.
When you compare something like a security checkpoint prior to plane boarding (which is what you're trying to refer to here, I assume?) to something like being a subject of your government, you really dilute the value of making such a comparison in the future.

How do you know that?
Maybe that's the guy that bought the low uid a few years back? Pitchforks and torches!
*kidding*
So... *if* you were a government or some other organization - wouldn't this be a cool method of probing for vulnerabilities???
*removes tinfoil hat
/me tips hat
lol - you caught me!

+1 - **Fantastic** documentary if you're interested in N. Korea.
It's a whole 'nother world and these guys were crazy enough to go all the way in. What makes them even crazier is that they're American.

Why not go the cheaper, multiple probes route?

ugh - agreed

Who said I was advocating the DRM part? I was advocating the direct from the creator part.
By the way - go fuck yourself

Agreed. Right in TFA, it clearly shows IE is running WAAAY behind every other browser by far.
Yes! But he doesn't have a flag...
Those of us in the USA didn't need soccer either!!
I really despise this type of hyperbole.
