One player is chosen as the "caller", both players on the count of 3 put out either one or two fingers, while the "caller" calls either "odd" or "even". If he calls "odd", and the two players' displayed fingers do not match, then he wins, otherwise he loses. If he calls even, then both players' displayed fingers need to match in order for him to win.
Everyone seems to forget that the first amendment has specific words in it with specific meanings, and they arent "you have the right to say whatever you want under any circumstance".
That seems like your reason for behaving good in society is "it is what is best for ME". Is there no room for altruism, or good for good's sake, in your philosophy? What happens when you weigh the balance, and lying really does benefit you more than truth?
This isnt a physical accessibility issue, its a "the product your offering isnt sufficient for me". As in, they want to consume the movies, but they dont like the movies as they are.
I dont know, not trying to be insensitive here but I have to agree with the gist of GP's post.
Well, there's one of two options at the end of the day. 1) you are assumed by default to have citizenship (in which case all immigration law is unenforceable) 2) you are assumed by default not to have citizenship
I get the dilemma, but I dont think the proper answer is "we're going to completely disband immigration laws". I think if you truly cant find any documentation that that person exists legally in the country and they cannot prove it to a reasonable degree, you must assume he/she does not.
Export laws in the US affect US citizens; obviously you cant pass a law which says "you guys in Iran, you arent permitted to accept this gift because it would violate our laws!"
No, they dont, because there is no law requiriing them to sell the device, and if they believe the purchase might violate a US law they DO have the right to refuse a sale.
In case you are unaware, a store does not need legally admissible proof in order to deny you service; they simply have to say "sorry, we do not wish to sell to you."
We havent had 140% inflation since the 1990s. Based on food prices etc, we're looking at 20% or so, not much more. $12 / hour for retail is really quite decent, its on par with what a waiter makes, and the waiter works a heck of a lot harder.
although that's hardly the kind of thing some Utahn mom dragging her kids to the mall can be expected to appreciate, two weeks after Gabrielle Giffords and a whole crowd of people were gunned down in public (to put a little perspective on things). It's still a very dangerous weapon- it's semiautomatic,
It sounds like your objection is the perception of danger, and / or the possibility of it. Heres the thing: When you live in a free society, there are dangers. One of the dangers of the second amendment is that someone can shoot you with a legally owned, legally purchased weapon.
But that doesnt mean we throw out all of the things that make our society free and so much less burdensome than several other countries I could mention. It means that you accept that nothing is guarenteed in life, and when you try to create those guarentees through govermental heavy-handedness, you end up with a nightmarish totalitarian society.
Im not saying that any particular gun law will turn us into North Korea; Im just cautioning that you watch that impulse that says "I need the government to protect me", because that is the road it leads down.
A) Tifton85 isnt a Monsanto product B) Tifton85 isnt a GM product-- its a hybrid C) Some plants actually do produce cyanide, and they dont have to be GM to do so.
THe first ringworld book implies VERY strongly that a large meteor struck the ringworld, causing a massive deformation to it; and this, a long time ago. Seems to me that that should have caused the orbit to fail.
So... nice job of mischaracterizing the books.
IIRC, they explicitly declare that the rosettes are inherently stable. That is a factual inaccuracy, there is no way that you could call it stable. Wikipedia specifically mentions how UNstable it is-- because like the ringworld, any disturbance can throw it off-balance and cause a cascading failure.
The reason he mentions the instability in the second book may have something to do with the large number of letters he received criticizing this very thing. I seem to remember something in the foreword or the wikipedia article about this. Im not the only, or first, one to call these errors out, by a long shot.
Have you thought about putting that money towards something like one of the new integrated graphics options, like Ivy Bridge or the AMD stuff? I can say at the least that SandyBridge HD2000 was sweet, and I cant imagine how sweet IB must be.
It wont match a mid-highend GPU, but it may do better than what you had. Just something to consider when checking out benchmarks.
Ive seen itunes break Windows' capability to burn CDs. If that doesnt scream "programmer doing something horrifically wrong", I dont know what does.
Ive also come to realize that the absolute best thing apple could do for iTunes would be to create a removal tool, for when everything inevitably blows up and it refuses to either uninstall or reinstall.
The MBR lock is useless. The fact that dd is able to clone and overwrite the MBR-- the fact that dd even exists-- should answer the question of "why is it useless".

Use odds/evens then.

It is as good or better than a coin-toss.
Which, in reality, is not what happened.

Whens the last time YOU busted out "banality" in a conversation?

Pretty sure you need a visa to go to Canada now. You cant just walk across the border.
Im not a libertarian, but congrats for having no ability to sense nuance.
Freedom of speech et al were never absolutes (or at least not for a very long time). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_and_present_danger
It sounds like the salesperson in question also speaks Farsi.
Kind of kills the thrust of your rant...

You seem to care more about NVIDIA's image than about what the Linux community actually needs.
You know whats worse? I hear that Microsoft cares about their own bottom line more than they care about helping the BSD community.
THOSE JERKS!

Property is force; if you don't believe that, go try to build yourself a cabin in the backyards of some 1%er's third or fourth house.
Im pretty sure you dont need capitalism to recognize property rights, and Im pretty sure property rights arent a bad thing.
Or are you saying you wouldnt object if I went to build a cabin in your back yard?
Newsflash: Several plants-- even some grasses-- produce cyanide in response to stress.

What is really being displayed in these posts are the dangers of being both opinionated and ignorant.
A) Tifton85 isnt a Monsanto product
B) Tifton85 isnt a GM product-- its a hybrid
C) Some plants actually do produce cyanide, and they dont have to be GM to do so.
Except that, as noted above and in the revised summary, its not GMO.
Which demonstrates perhaps that the real danger isnt GM, its overreaction, bias, and preconceptions. Oh, and editorial failure.
Whoops, minor error. Very clearly no editorial bias here, right?

iTunes on Windows works well enough.
Ive seen itunes break Windows' capability to burn CDs. If that doesnt scream "programmer doing something horrifically wrong", I dont know what does.
Ive also come to realize that the absolute best thing apple could do for iTunes would be to create a removal tool, for when everything inevitably blows up and it refuses to either uninstall or reinstall.
How is it going to do that when it isnt in the MBR, it isnt in the BCD, and none of its binaries are in the registry startup entries?
A virus that hasnt been called cant magically activate itselt; SOMETHING has to call the infected files for them to do anything at all.
The MBR lock is useless. The fact that dd is able to clone and overwrite the MBR-- the fact that dd even exists-- should answer the question of "why is it useless".
