A judge in the US wouldn't dare issueing an ex-parte injunction against a US political party.. but international political parties are fair game, because they aren't the great and all-mighty US.
Let's see, I dated my current wife for 7 years before I married, I def. slept around like a wild dog before her without getting married. So I ask this, what guy would get married just to fuck? Seriously, I can say this much, I would hope like fuck he's not posting on slashdot. And I have to admit, I live in the fucking bible buckle and I've never met a guy like that.
I may not be the poster you are replying to, but I feel this guys pain. What's just about a system that can technically make you pay more than you make in a paycheck? (upto 50% pretax for child-support and upto 50% pretax for alimony). Even if he is a deadbeat, I thought the idea was equal rights not rape you like a hurricane rights.
I'm surprised she was able to win custody with a serious disability like that. I know that the mother always win, but usually if you can prove that they have a disabling disease that keeps them from working, you can usually prove that they are raising your children in an unsuitable environment. It always got me that in a divorce the mother "won" (like it's a fucking game) the children. I'd fight my wife in court with everything I had, not so much because of my paycheck but because of raising my children with a manic depressed person is just a case for disaster.
If what you are saying is true, you can most likely appeal the custody decision. However I am not a lawyer, it just seems absurd that the courts would choose an abusive situation (mentally) vs a stable situation.
Oh, yeah, if you lose your job and fail to make your alimony payment or child support payment (curious why you are paying for day care if she's just sitting on her ass all day, you shouldn't be legally obligated to it that's what child support is for) they'll haul your ass to jail (which could cause you to lose your job) faster than your head can spin.
Defendant A is suing defendant B for $3,000 because the party he threw sucked. That was a recent episode of a TV Court show. I would like to sue the judge and producers for emotional distress.
Sorry, but no. The RAF was in tatters by the time the Americans started to build up an a huge offensive. The RAF was getting personnel from the US before we officially entered the war. And for you second best joint Airforce in the world, you were getting your asses handed to you by German bombs. Had the war drawn out for longer I would wager they would have just kept bombing you into submission, you had no ground to give and no real way to stop them. Again, the Airforce was pretty much gone.
Europe in general blames us for joining late, but honestly, I think it's what allowed us win. Between Hitlers betrayal of Stalin early in the war (and getting pushed back all the way to Stalingrad and losing ground till we joined), and the exhaustion of the Nazi forces, we came in at an opportune time. They were distracted, content on defend & hold while bombing England. Had over 50% of their forces in Russia (too far from the western front) another 20% spread across Europe for maintaining the public, and 30% essentially defending and launching small attacks on England. That's what allowed us to get a foot hold, but iirc we still had less troops in total.
We aren't heros of the day, but I really think Germany would have walked away with Europe and launched later offenses against the America's had we not joined.
I've got to admit, that scares the living shit out of me. Note to the wise, if you're going to split with your wife try to make sure she has a job that makes nearly as much as you. It will reduce what you owe in child support, she'll be hard pressed to get alimony, and there's nothing you can do about daycare. It's fuckton expensive and as a married couple you can exempt 4500/year (total). I pay that in two months of day care.
Reading comprehension on my response about schools should have been obvious. I meant schools that use Linux for the personal computers. See the reply to the other post. Done.
You seemed to drop your argument about me being a liar, where'd that go, because I apparently can't work on a.co.uk site in Memphis.
it has nothing on linux
IS WAY out of context. And you are wondering why I'm calling you a troll? Because you went to every post I posted that is still replyable calling me a liar, I've proven you wrong. Accepted that I was wrong that Hilton.com IS using Windows. And you are still trying to garner a response. On top of that you've taken your argument to just trying to take things out of context.
Now to answer your questions.
U avoid the question: Does HILTON.COM own the hilton.com domain, & does Hilton use Windows on it!
YES or NO??
Beyond the fact that when I worked for them, they OWNED the TLD but it was hosted by a 3rd party vendor. The answer is YES they own the domain, and yes, in effect since the THIRD party hosts it but they own the TLD, once again you are right I was wrong.

My bad for paraphrasing, you are stating 367 institutions Using Windows OVER Linux when they are using one for domain management.
367++ TOP FORTUNE 100/500 (or best 100 to work for per CNN Money) COMPANIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, &/or GOVERNMENT AGENCIES USING WINDOWS (over other solutions like Linux)
I'd copy and paste everything you did above but I don't have to.
Here's the deal, I called you out
HILTON HOTELS: Manages 1.4 Billion records a day for customers in 1000's of their hotels worldwide - for 370,000 rooms & catering services forecasts (switching from 6 *NIX systems to 1 Windows Server 2003 + SQLServer 2005 clustered failover system using a data warehouse with 7 million rows & 99.998% uptime).
After saying
367++ TOP FORTUNE 100/500 (or best 100 to work for per CNN Money) COMPANIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, &/or GOVERNMENT AGENCIES USING WINDOWS (over other solutions like Linux)
(Notice Windows over Linux) I (very unclearly, and very poorly) pointed out this is not the case and that they do not use Windows at all. Even if it is a third party, they do. I was wrong. However, your point of using Windows OVER Linux for all of Hilton Corporation is 100% FUD. As you can see with my retort of hilton.co.uk. Which is 7 non Windows servers (not counting citrix). And if you go to every other non.com/.net domain you will see that it is all linux, solaris, or "unknown".
With that, It's 5:20, I've got a family to go home to and I'm done playing your game. Promot

Do another work up on that for schools in the US please. I'd like to see that.
Because you can't work on a.co.uk domain in Tennessee. Are you really that dense? I also worked on the.jp domain, the.it domain, and many more domains! It's called internationalization, and they are headquarted at 755 Crossover Lane, Memphis, TN. But get this, I live in Kansas, I bet it can't be possible for me to have worked in Tennessee at some time because of that.
How about for apps like the Amazon app store (where you get the free app of the day) and the Hulu app (which is a free app, but isn't on the market for my Samsung Galaxy S II) I had to download a hacked version of it to run it on my phone.

I can, you are trolling and you have an attitude. My response to you (while the first part about hilton.com was wrong), I kept a level head and my point was clear that I believe that people use whatever tool is best when needed.
Well to start with, I worked for Hilton Corp in Memphis, TN (headquarters) and we used exclusively Solaris servers. There isn't one Windows Server, going as far as OpenLDAP for authentication and not windows.
Now for most of these I read "Managing X customers using Active Directory" And you are right, since most companies use Microsoft for personal computers, most use Active Directory to manage authentication. However, Troll is Troll, and because they have one server that has to make them windows dominate. Get real, get a life microsoft shit...err shill. The sad thing is, I think you guys make a great desktop, I really do, and the fact that you are so hardcore going after Linux means you are actually threatened by it. It has the server market, almost every company (Microsoft included) uses a *nix based system to manage there main servers.(http://www.crn.com/news/applications-os/18814901/microsofts-freebsd-move-aimed-at-next-generation-of-developers.htm). Note that's 2001, and since that scandal, I bet they aren't any longer. It was running their hotmail servers, and I can say around 2003 their servers have had a hard time managing content (probably when they switched back) so people left hotmail in troves. Awesome switch to windows servers guys.
History is history, but I am an enterprise architect for a living, and I care about what I use. But I waste money on buying server X from microsoft every new release and test it. It has nothing on linux and we'd be paying almost an additional 2million a year for mips if we used it. So long point around, because companies use microsoft somewhere just once doesn't mean it's better than linux. It means it's more effective for what it does (like integrating with OTHER windows PCs). I should also note I love the most recent version of MS SQL Server, another reason for using Windows. For everything else, linux.
Unplug your kinect and it will stop. My kinect kept picking up stray sounds in the room and doing all of those things. Don't get me wrong I still get the occasional stutter (much worse on my PS3) but overall I'm lovin' it.
And Boo Hoo, an online service doesn't have perpetual rights, however it's legals and it's mostly convenient. Movies, Music, TV, etc will never be free and it shouldn't be. It costs to produce it, so you should pay for it, but the prices they ask are just ridiculous (esp for TV series). And that's why you should be supporting services like Netflix, because they are trying to change the paradigm where you pay a minor cost and you get what ever you want to watch.
And you'd think with the amount of people here they would actually be able to effect change. These are the people who can, we are the people who cannot and hide behind our very flawed system. I personally admire these people, even for the issues that the few have caused the many. Large groups of people make easy targets...
Actually that's what I was thinking to, you could cheat the one who says they are 15 is the one who is the predator. (I'm being serious, at least in my generation (I'm in my mid 20's) of internet chatting, the kids were the ones claiming to be 18-25).
No they were winning, but with the recent criminal charges against it, they dropped it (was an article on wired yesterday, which means it's likely week old news).

History is history, but I am an enterprise architect for a living, and I care about what I use. But I waste money on buying server X from microsoft every new release and test it. It has nothing on linux and we'd be paying almost an additional 2million a year for mips if we used it. So long point around, because companies use microsoft somewhere just once doesn't mean it's better than linux. It means it's more effective for what it does (like integrating with OTHER windows PCs). I should also note I love the most recent version of MS SQL Server, another reason for using Windows. For everything else, linux.
No Samsung supplies screens: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-13/samsung-supplies-apple-with-touch-screen-for-new-ipad.html
Unplug your kinect and it will stop. My kinect kept picking up stray sounds in the room and doing all of those things. Don't get me wrong I still get the occasional stutter (much worse on my PS3) but overall I'm lovin' it.
And Boo Hoo, an online service doesn't have perpetual rights, however it's legals and it's mostly convenient. Movies, Music, TV, etc will never be free and it shouldn't be. It costs to produce it, so you should pay for it, but the prices they ask are just ridiculous (esp for TV series). And that's why you should be supporting services like Netflix, because they are trying to change the paradigm where you pay a minor cost and you get what ever you want to watch.
Could use encryption/decryption instead of a hash (and you can still just compare the encrypted values, a two for one special!)
And you'd think with the amount of people here they would actually be able to effect change. These are the people who can, we are the people who cannot and hide behind our very flawed system. I personally admire these people, even for the issues that the few have caused the many. Large groups of people make easy targets...
Actually that's what I was thinking to, you could cheat the one who says they are 15 is the one who is the predator. (I'm being serious, at least in my generation (I'm in my mid 20's) of internet chatting, the kids were the ones claiming to be 18-25).
How is YouTube liable for this? Shouldn't it be the one who put in the DMCA claim?
No they were winning, but with the recent criminal charges against it, they dropped it (was an article on wired yesterday, which means it's likely week old news).
[quote]threatening all countries, but small island states, poor nations and arid regions[/quote] So what, has mother nature turned greedy? "Mommy only loves you if your GDP is soooooo big".
However, people saying that the storm cares if the GDP is so much just gives these guys [Climate Change Deniers] more credit...
Some might even consider it abusive :). Now goto: BED;
