How about an OregonTrailBot? A scripted user-agent that could break its leg and die of dysentery, thus learning about the dangers of expansionism so the kids don't have to.
Guys used to have mysterious allotments coming out of their LES' now and then, with little recourse to find out other than some pay clerk telling you to do a "pay inquiry". Over-payments, no-pay-due's, all kinds of random stuff that was just inevitable in a paper-and-red-tape bureaucracy.
Are you deleting because you are concerned about Facebook's Terms of Service?
This was a mistake that we have now corrected. You own the information you put on Facebook and you control what happens to it. We are sorry for the confusion.
Yep, I am fully aware that you can find my information. I'm from Utah, I rather like lesbian porn, I am pretty good at that stab-a-knife-blade-between-fingers game, and I once got my nose broken playing a game of ultimate frisbee.
You make a good point, but I think you misunderstand mine (although I prolly didn't explain it well). My problem is that facebook thinks they own all your content and information. They can take pictures that YOU have in your gallery, and use them at any time, in any way they want to. All the meta data about you, they will use however they want. That's where I get off the bus.
...i've already committed digital seppuku. I'm done with these companies. How do you start as a cool project by some college CS dudes and end up as such douche bags?
Because when you give your government precedent to expand beyond it's social contract of protecting life, liberty and property...even on your behalf, then you give it permission to expand to ALL facets of life. It isn't a government's proper role to tell a private company what features it can/cannot sell. If company A finds a market demand for connector X, company A is free to build for that market. It is free not to. It's what we call a free market, which is to say, the market system of free people. Otherwise, you are trading freedom for convenience.
We had several...um...extra SAPI plates kicking around. So we conducted our own tests. Even 2 7.62x39mm from an AKM in a dime-sized grouping still didn't penetrate.
But you can't tell me YOUR plates are only good for one hit.
I usually get into this body armor argument with democrats who just want to score points on the "Bush sucks" system by feigning concern for soldiers. "Bush and Cheney sent troops into Iraq with bad armor...wahhhh." No mention of Clinton sending troops into Somalia, Haiti, Kosovo, et al. with soft body armor that couldn't stop 9mm. So I get kind of defensive about it. Sorry.
I spent 7 years in the Infantry, and 6 in the Artillery. I've been to Iraq. I've heard lots of pouges, REMFs, newbs, and PONTIs talk bullshit over the years. I've heard lots of PAC clerks talking about cutting throats, etc.
And the ceramic body armour breaks after only one bullet. After that you are on your own.
You've obviously never SEEN a body armor plate. The SAPI plate I shot successfully stopped 3 7.62 NATO M61 Ball fired from an M21, and 5 5.56mm M855 Ball (with steel penetrator) fired from an M16A4 at ranges from 10 to 30 meters. Shortly after that, the ESAPI (enhanced) came out to provide protection from 7.62mm AP rounds.
I trust those plates, they've proven their worth to me. I don't trust you, you've proven you don't know what you are talking about.
You guys are all smoking crack with these bad car analogies.
It's like Ford is Baby Jesus, Chrysler is 3 rabbis, and AMC is a scorpion.
So baby Jesus is born. The 3 rabbis are standing around, praising the event. This scorpion comes walking up...but the first rabbi throws his shoe at it. The scorpion takes off. About an hour later, the scorpion comes back. The scorpion almost makes it to baby Jesus, but the second rabbi throws a shoe at it. The scorption takes off. About an hour later, the scorpion comes back again! This time, the 3rd rabbi walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "that's cool, where'd you get that?" The parrot flies out of the freezer and replies, "may i ask what the turkey did?"
Slashdot Mirror
Like Australia even HAS a quantum handgun. Er...wait.

About Jews and Christians:
"Seize them and slay them wherever you find them: and in any case take no friends or helpers from their ranks." Sura 4:89
One is an open source licensing system, the other is a web server.
you just come across like an idiot
That just happened.

No, ICBM's would have functioned correctly.
Oh man, no joke.

If FOSS is A: better than the alternative and B: less expensive than the alternative then why would it need taxpayer handouts?
Besides, how many FOSS lobbyists are there in Washington?
Oh, ok. thx.
That brings up a good point. Anyone who says "podcast" when they really mean "sound file" should get sued.
Can you really make someone not talk about your product on a blog? Simply using the word netbook on your blog can get you in trouble?
I almost got frist psot but Terry changed my WPA key. ):
I did it with this.
What's funny is the delete form now says:

The Nuclear Sub from subway would be 24 inches long, and half the sammich would be on French Bread, the other half would have cabbage.

...they could go with this.
I think its officially being applied towards Terrorist training
Those Taliban bond issues are a bitch. Although, I'd rather have some terrorists that the Teachers Union!
...that these mice used practiced good parenting.
That dime sized grouping was incidental, I can't get a nice group with an AK. (:
We saw lots of Dragunov sniper rifles in use there, I don't think the marksman was using an AK. He could have just hosed the guy.
Our plates look like a sandwich of diff. materials. You are right, they only get weak at the point of impact.
We had several...um...extra SAPI plates kicking around. So we conducted our own tests. Even 2 7.62x39mm from an AKM in a dime-sized grouping still didn't penetrate.
Of course, I didn't wear it during the test. (:
This guy was.
Ok, ok. Fair enough.

Your analogy is meaningless.
To be fair, the /. TOS clearly states that only car analogies are allowed.

That's how I read it anyway.
No, it's like Toyota suing you if you tried to make your own NOx kit for your own use.
If monkeying around voids the warranty, fine. If monkeying around is outlawed...then only outlaws will have monkeys...er. um. wait.
