  1. Re:He SHOULD Be On Trial on Author Faces Canadian Tribunal For Hate Speech · · Score: 1

    I think the difference there, not whether I agree or disagree with any legalities or illegalities of it, is that on one hand, there is an outsider speaking of it, and on the other, it's the people in the group stating it. I don't believe WORDS should put someone on trial, however.

    I dare say free was used in the sense of "not allocated"

    No, but it's a nice dream. And just to show my hand, I also believe that gun manufacturers are 100% NOT to blame for what people do with their products. (Full disclosure: I'm a little bit of a gun nut, though they're just loud, long-range hole punches to me. I've killed many a sheet of paper.)

  4. Re:Another link... on London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game · · Score: 1

    Well, "they" (Since I can't name anyone specifically offhand, sorry) are already suing gun manufacturers because their products are being used in crimes..

    I agree. I'm sick and tired of the government stepping in where they shouldn't. Aw, little Susy sent out naked pictures to her friends? Great, let's educate her and her parents, not hold the service she used to perform an action with responsible. Where's the personal responsibility these days?

    Now you're just being silly.

    He didn't do that, either. He only improved on already existing ideas.

    That would imply that Ford invented cars. Which he didn't.

  13. Re:Grating Blogger problem... on Is Google Neglecting Blogger? · · Score: 1

    I just e-mailed their customer support with a basic "Here is my real name I signed up with, this is the e-mail account I used, I'm locked out, here is every piece of data I have that isn't public on the account, this is my old password, etc." Two days later, I had my account info forwarded to me at the address I e-mailed them from. It probably helped that I used a non-free address (my university e-mail) too

    What do you want to do, launch them into a geosynchronous orbit?

    That defeats the entire purpose of this.

    Please, show me an alternative that is superior and costs a similar amount or less. I will gladly switch.

    My main gaming rig (with a soon-to-be-upgraded x1900XT) has been hooked up to my 37" widescreen LCD and 5.1 surround sound for the past year and a half, and all it took was one cable for the video and a fe All bow to the DVI to HDMI cable.

    I got this for a Christmas gift 2002 from my then-girlfriend's parents, and proceeded to bang the hell out of her while watching it with her in their living room Christmas night. I, too, love this movie. (And not just for the sex I got during it. It was more than decent.)

    But in this case, the person we're celebrating WAS one hell of a man, on top of being a great "liar", as you so unkindly put it.

    I'm about as far from any sort of religious person, and I still enjoyed the hell (hur hur) out of the Ten Commandments as a good movie adaptation of a book, despite the subject matter.
