If the New Testament is supposed to override the Old Testament in all things (that is the "Old Law" is wholly no longer applicable, not just the parts that disagree with your personal worldview), then there should be no reason to have a problem with homosexual et al, right? I mean there's only one place in the NT that refers to homosexuals in any translation, and it uses two words to refer to them, one meaning "effeminate" and the other not having a proper translation, but taken literally is "man-beds".
So, um, in conclusion, perhaps you might reread Mark 16:16-18, and demonstrate your faith by the second sign in Mark 16:18 (I would suggest aconitine). After all "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;... And these signs shall follow them that believe;... They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
To be more exact, one stupid fool from 4chan who is going to take one for the team (in more ways than one -- isn't he looking at 5 years + 3 supervised release + a large fine if convicted)
But, what you are missing is that the leaked emails have at least the appearance of being used for government business. Alaska state law requires that she use the government supplied email address for government business, that it might be archived and made a matter of public record. To do so is a nonoptional part of the job, much like his sysadmin->backups example. She has explicitly gone out of her way to not do so, by setting up a third party account and using it for government business. Having a secondary account for personal use is not a crime in Alaska, but the moment it is used in any way to conduct Alaskan business, it is a violation of the law.
IOW, the way it is supposed to work is that they should, whenever the expected lawsuits are less expensive, shut down the DRM servers, and effectively render useless that which their customers have purchased?
You know, I need to start manufacturing things with built-in self destruct switches and simply blow up my customers purchases when I need more sales. =)
So it's better to support the bankers making bad decisions at the top than to support the "idiots" at the bottom, which in turn makes the bad decisions stop being bad (because we've averted the foreclosures?
Either way, your money, from your pocket, ends up in the hands of bankers. One way said bankers end up with a bunch of foreclosed homes as well and a bunch of people end up on the street.
West Virginia is about the same, although we were just starting to inflate when the bubble burst. Houses $200k can be very nice (not fancy, but comfortable), and only the newly built ones or ones that are in certain specific areas (generally the higher up the mountainside you are, the pricier the housing gets) are much higher. I live in a 2 story that has something like 6 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a decent kitchen in a quiet neighborhood [on the upside nothing bad really happens -- on the downside that's because nothing really happens at all] that would be valued at under $200k (it's not exactly gone anywhere near the market in 20+ years -- it and the house beside it are owned by the family (we've long since paid them off) and will probably get passed down).
It's a game set in a modern city (be it a comic book-type one), they're advertising is opt-out (there's an option in game to turn it on/off, effective next time you zone -- it defaults to on, so it's technically opt-out), and the advertisements are only applied to things that were fake-brand advertisements beforehand (the original city design has billboards in all the main parts of the city, and posters at ground level, at about the right kind of mix and frequency to be realistic. The most recently released zone (as in, introduced after advertising was) has no ads, because it is an island under Roman control, accessed via time travel.
They are unobtrusive enough that I literally didn't notice they were on after my recent reinstall, until I turned on autorun to fly across a zone, and was stopped by flying face first into one while AFK. It was a billboard for a cell phone or something in place of a billboard for Crey Technologies (an ingame company that is basically powered by evil mad scientists).
Not too argue too hard, but it's not terribly hard to believe that even as a billionaire, after living on the diet he was on, he wanted something substantial and something familiar, something "American". Which makes a burger not terribly out of place. Would it have been better if he had himself, a servant, or a robot or something home cook him a burger? I think the Burger King or McDonald's actually would fit the scene well. Burger King paid more.
OK, supposedly the reason the banks are in a bad position is because those who would be buying securities from them are averse to doing so because they are expecting massive foreclosures on the horizon. These foreclosures are occurring because people borrowed money they shouldn't have from banks who shouldn't have lent it.
We have two suggestions on how to solve this:
1. Government buys securities from banks, giving the banks a shot in the arm, and getting the "bad" securities out of the way so that investors will be more willing to purchase new ones.
2. Government helps pay housing debt from individuals, preventing their foreclosure. Knowing that the foreclosure rate isn't going to spike up (because gov't is preventing exactly that), the securities start being purchased again (as they are no longer perceived to be a bad investment, since a massive foreclosure spike isn't on the horizon anymore).
The difference is that a bunch of people get thrown out of their homes on option 1, and they likely have very different costs (not sure how different, offhand). It seems like either gets you to the same place in the end, however.
Whilst the "Andy Kaufman returns" bit was clearly a hoax, I still don't necessarily believe that he *didn't* fake his own death. I just think he'd more likely be off cackling to himself about it, about having pulled a prank on literally everyone, leaving them all doubting what was going on for all this time. It just seems like the kind of stunt he'd pull.
After all, he is literally the kind of guy who'd come up with a successful routine, then invite another audience in and bore them to tears, intentionally, specifically because they are expecting the other routine. Because pulling the routine they were expecting out from under them *was* the joke.
There really are four broad types of classes and they do roughly correspond to the four D&D archetypes -- you have the Fighter (tank), Priest (healer), Mage (ranged DPS), and Thief (melee DPS). All the classes are typed into one of those holes, telling you what your primary function is. There are really only 10 classes de facto, as each class has effectively a mirror on the other side (for example a Dwarf Engineer is a Chaos Magus with different graphics). Some of the classes are not quite so close, for example Order doesn't have a ranged DPSer with a moving pet, and Destruction doesn't have a melee DPSer with a moving pet. Different classes on the same side that fill a role play completely differently, but more similar to their other side counterparts than to each other (Sorcerer and Bright Wizard are closer than Bright Wizard and Archmage). Marauder is a Fury Warrior done right, and Witch Elf is closer to a Rogue with a sort of combat stealth. Both are listed as "melee DPS".
CC is limited, but I don't see that as necessarily bad -- things like long stuns/fear/poly not being in the game means they aren't turned against you either. And you don't get into the long arguments about which is greater than which, and/or how a given classes mechanics utterly fail if you nerf this or that CC yet again.
As for Fire vs Fire vs Fire, you were looking at Bright Wizard, that's for sure. They throw fire. They are called "Bright Wizards" for a reason. My Marauder can basically specialize between an offhand claw which favors special effects, and offhand axe/sword that favors direct single target damage, and an offhand club that favors AoE attacks. Those are also my "stances", in WoW terms. Basically I polymorph my arm into an appropriate shape (chosen randomly from a set for each type) when I switch stances.
I want to make sure I understand you. The Republican and Democratic parties are above the law, but all other political parties must dot every i and cross every t or be thrown off ballots and/or out of races on even the slightest technicality (even ones more minor than failing to meet a deadline). Ignoring how plurality voting screws them, saying that rule of law only applies to some political parties but not others is ridiculous. You can't have a fair election if some candidates get to use different rules than the others.
So what would your stance be one something like MacroGoblin ( http://macrogoblin.com/ )? It's a fairly generic application macroing program. The website selling it also distributes several macro setups that are MMO bots, for assorted games.
There's a clear intent that it's an "MMO bot", but if attacked they could pull the MMOBot scripts for their app down, quietly let the code leak/get reverse engineered, and have someone out in the community producing "WoW goblin" or "WAR Goblin" scripts for use with their app.
For the same reason electricity and phone lines had the Rural Electrification Act and similar terms for phone expansion -- there are places that are not generally profitable that given market forces only would not have electricity still yet, barring buying the poles and lines, hiring the men to run the lines, giving the lines to the telephone/power companies as appropriate, and paying for all line maintenance after that point, so that all they have to do is flip a switch to provide service.
You literally don't get what some parts of the country are like -- as an example, my mother (she's about 50 now) grew up with spring water and an outhouse, and she lived in a place that's less than a 30 min drive from our state capital. It's the geography of Appalachia as much as anything else -- everyone lives along a waterway, either a river or one of innumerable small creeks that feed into it, because that's where all the flat land is. Feeding lines on poles through narrow forested valleys (we're talking places which have mountians, a single row of housing, a small bridge crossing a creek, a two lane road following the creek, then more mountains -- most of this covered in trees) to supply small communities (as in unincorporated groups of a dozen or so houses) to supply power/telephone/broadband is simply not profitable in itself.
Look at a map of say, WV. Consider that nearly every crease in the mountains where it looks like a small stream of some kind cut a niche in is lined with housing wherever there's a wide enough flat spot. Most "towns" are basically houses put together because there was a wider/longer flat spot. My hometown is actually incapable of growing in any direction because the mountains/river cage it in. We're bigger than many of the "towns" up in the hollows, and we have 960 people.
As far as functionality, they are identical. The lite has a different form factor, a different type of touch screen (they look different and wear differently, but neither really seems superior), and better LCD screens (better color, brighter backlight).
No kidding, there was one DS adventure game I played that used every feature possible in at least one puzzle. I do mean *every*, including stylus, microphone, even the lid closed sensor.
By "the very poorest", you of course mean "the entire lower class and half the middle class should receive effectively no education, if you're lucky they might learn to read". Face it, for all it's problems, public schooling is better than "only the rich get schooled at all".
Actually there's a one-man musical project that does exactly this in certain cases. The guy's name is Brian Voth and he calls his project Fireaxe.
Anywhere that there would be a conversation or anything of that nature, the "participants" (both technically him) will be routed to 100% left and 100% right to help make them more distinct. He also likes to record guitar pieces twice, heavily weight them to opposite sides and play them slightly off time from each other.
Shouldn't any resident of the state of Texas have standing? It can't be that hard to find a resident of Texas willing to go through with it, I'm sure Barr would be willing to supply the lawyers if he's shot down due to lack of standing. =)
They get their electors, but by Texas' own election process they can't actually get the electors sanctioned by Obama or McCain, as not only had neither filed on time to be on the ballet, neither filed a slate of electors either, so they essentially *can't* win, no matter what. Presuming, of course, that the courts don't simply claim that democrats and republicans are not subject to the rules applied to "lesser" parties because they're ***SPECIAL***.

Instead your money, that came out of your pocket, should be spent buying securities from banks because noone else will?
It sounds like keeping people in their homes and getting to essentially the same place would be preferable to the alternative.
