Thanks, Stazi Vichy scum(I'm guessing "Unknown Lamer" is a JIDF transplant with a provably pro-Israel slant like Timothy) American intelligence is nowhere near what they wish they were, and you are a spineless fuck.
FBI are fucking morons. Their position requires them to be naive to get it. They gotta bust or intimidate(entice the weak-minded to comply) and or pay people (entice the greedy to comply) to get half-ass intel created and procured through the intelligence analog of so-called metrics of 'intelligence' gathering.
What every right-thinking individual should ask of FBI agents is,"Agent Smith, how angry does it make you to know that Father O'Malley was allowed to rape you in the ass as a kid, and also showed you how to focus that anger on others?"
Sports and stats go hand-in-hand. More statistics will enhance the public's appreciation for the game. For example, a dramatic tackle analyzed in real-time with accelerometers could be reported seconds later by the announcer:
Wow! The running back just took a hit and experienced a force of 150G's*! He was hit at a 5-degree angle and knocked back a whole meter...
I choose not to watch Football because the greedy bastards black out the games on TV if they don't sell enough tickets, which is a totally tacky policy while the average ticket costs over 70 bucks with players' salaries in the millions of dollars.
Plus, the more games I've watched in the past few years, the more it feels like the basic outcomes of the games are pre-determined and that all of the "behind the scenes" hype is like a bad reality show. Not a surprise given the big, big money involved in pro football. The chargers had the AFC championship and the best kicker in the league, then blew their chances because that kicker just happened to blow 4 kicks that game. The night before that game, key Chargers including LaDanian Tomlinson were seen at a local titty bar (Cheetah's, I think) getting fucked up.
"...theoretically this technology could allow a grocer to put a picture on the store package of the pig you are eating."
No thanks. I like to feel a personal disconnection with the animal I'm about to eat. Lobsters aren't so bad because they're like bugs, but many people keep furry animals like pigs as pets. The idea's like a local radio commercial that advertises lambskin boots and then plays a cute "Baaaaa" noise, which is quizzical and bizzarre.
Everytime that commercial comes on at work I say, "That is the sound of the lamb being slaughtered to make those boots."
How to thwart the Priests? If you want them to look the other way, just give 'em a pre-pubescent altar-boy. They'll allow your unapproved phone to access the corporate intranet and the boy will get a million-dollar settlement 18 years later. Then the priest will be moved to another parrish and some other lucky IT guy will have the opportunity to run the latest facebook app on the corporate intranet -- for a price, of course.
YOU ARE NOT GONNA GET IT GOOGLE!!! You Do. Not. Need. A. Copy. Of. My. Passport.
I like how Google repeatedly asks me to give them my phone number in case my account is "hacked," and gives me a FUD message about how I may never see my precious e-mails again if I don't. I also like how my gmail account is getting emails from Youtube in Spanish asking me to link and re-open a dormant account I used 4 years ago. I thought Google was advanced enough to detect samefagging and wealthy enough to buy all the info which could've already linked my phone number with my e-mail address.
C'mon, google, that's tacky. You're too rich and powerful to be begging and trashdigging like that.
Given the flexibility and options available for Linux, anybody who bitches about Linux UI configurability should be forced to manually edit config files without a reference, for all eternity.
I participated in the Free Bradley Manning march by Occupy San Diego yesterday for a few reasons - (1) I believe in the cause (2) I wanted to size up the Occupy movement for myself for an unbiased opinion, and (3) I was hoping to see some action and maybe even capture a little police brutality.
If you were there, I was the guy with the water jug who had the idea to use zip-ties to support the banner poles over the overpass, and was the asshole who said, "Thank you, officer!(stirring a few laughs from the crowd)" after he blocked traffic for us.
The following is a brutally frank assessment of occupy San Diego: They are freaks. They are every bad stereotype the media makes the movement out to be. The only participants with any semblance of normalcy were a few affluent ex-hippies with legitimacy in society, but who had obviously done more than their share of drugs in the '60's.
The message itself and calls to rally were pretty good, and a couple of the speakers were passionate and charismatic. However, when I first arrived, a person giving the speech was a transvestite("trap"). It has seemed that the movement was co-opting itself by inadvertently shoehorning a LGBT agenda into the protests. I sympathize with homosexuals and I agree that they have a right to be pissed off, but it does nothing but hurt the cause of the protest when the impression is that of a gaggle of pissed off people looking for something to shout about.
Many of them are like you - dressed like bad LARPers, who were allowed to escape from their entire childhood and now are out of touch with reality. They are pissed because they failed to adapt to society, they failed to see what was coming. That is not to say that their message is wrong, because America is fucked up for all the reasons that they state. The problem is that they appear to be blaming the system because of their own weaknesses and failures, and that is not what "normal" people like you and I want to be associated with. If we join them, their stench of failure will hover over us as well, and it will make more people the laughing stock of the protest movement rather than gain legitimacy.
You want legitimacy? Stop dressing like steampunk cowboys and renaissance-fair rejects, take a fucking shower with shampoo, and put on some decent clothes. Correct the mistakes you made not conforming earlier in life and gain an air of legitimacy. Your spoken message is excellent, but you're making jokes out of yourself with your costumes, reenacting silly childhood fantasies. Grow the fuck up and I might just offer you more support. I know how to do this. But I need your help. You want to give all this tough-guy talk about being co-opted? Take the fucking offensive and co-opt them. The first step to gaining public sympathy is to take a fucking shower and grab a shave.
I want to offer some final criticism - in the official video of the march, the person operating the camera asks a bystander what they know about Bradley Manning, and the woman says, "Um, he, like, sent that thing to Wikileaks." Come on, you can do better than that!
Who the fuck modded parent down? Theirs is currently the most insightful comment in the entire discussion!
Could you imagine being a introverted nerd with a room full of code and robot parts, only to have your dad come in and say, "Son, I'm worried about you. It's about time we get rid of all this sissy shit and play some FOOTBALL!
Involuntarily enrolled in Pop Warner, you get knocked around and bloodied on a regular basis, then teased and treated with "tough-love" when you show signs of weakness because your arrogant parent is trying to hammer a square peg into a round hold so you can me a "mini-me."
Ahh, Kazakhstan, which used to be known as just Kazakh. It's the setting of a sci-fi story about a homosexual in blue spandex who is ejaculated from his starship, the Blue Dragon, on a mission to save the world from the evil mind control device The Witch's Titties.
But uh-oh, here Hiryu is on the streets. That fire-breathing fat fuck Karnov is trying to make trouble again. His asshole is every bit as puckery and fiery as his mouth.
In summa, Kazakh is a nation in turmoil and we must support their efforts.
1. Destroy economy so wages are depressed
2. U.S. now source of cheap labor
3. Best of both worlds - outsourced wages with domestic location
4. Profit!
5. Rich get richer, poor get poorer
6. Repeat as desired
Aggregate a list of companywide credentials, exploits, proprietary(especially humiliating) information, and publicly release it(don't sell it, that's tacky - and put it up with adequately-protected domains in non-American-siezable countries publicly documenting and e-mailing your former employer's customers the damning information) for the "LOLs"(a slang term meaning 'laughter at another's expense').
Top-post whore responder advice giver here. As somebody who works in a company with very similar numbers described in the summary, the few IT personnel should take over some of the infrastructure programming duties like databases and internal support software and use their existing knowledge of the corporation to prepare to either take on more work or transfer to a different position or department within the company.
Don't know how to program? Hit the books - your job may depend on it.
Even King Henry wasn't above actually talking to the common troops now and then:
...the young king's heroic character is shown by his decision to wander around the English camp at night, in disguise, so as to comfort his soldiers and determine what they really think of him...
As a widget-fixer, our analog is obviously how much shit we can fix in a given time frame. One of the biggest mistakes I've seen in multiple companies(ranging from laptop to medical device repair) is that the PHB keeps a board or chart showing how many widgets each tech fixed during a given timespan.
Any idiot can see that the misguided sweatshop-style metrics cause the following problems:
Cherry-picking - Techs choosing and even stashing away (!) the returns with the easiest and quickest problems to fix. It matters not that your expensive gadget has been sitting there for a month, there are numbers to be made and we'll get to yours when we want to regardless of the order they came in.
Racing - When there are no "easy" ones to be cherry-picked, then the techs will race to fix your item. They will ignore problems and cut corners on others. Stripped screw hole? Super-glue the screw in. Low output? Game the settings so the tests will pass. Part shortage? Cannibalize and rob Peter to pay Paul in a hardware-sort of Ponzi-scheme. Status Quo and mediocrity - The top performers will become accustomed to the attaboys and will continue to produce slipshod repairs, even if there is a slowdown in work when they can do their job right. Meanwhile, the low performers will become used to it and feel no need to better their work.
My idiot boss in the company I'm in now considered it and was shot down by every tech. In this company, due to the variety of products, one person could make tens of thousands of dollars with 1-2 days work while another tech working on a different product will have to spend more labor and overhead juggling external vendors and all the headaches it involves only to make a couple thousand dollars. Yeah.
Fortunately, the consultants we brought in are smart. They listed generic milestones and a cheeky "100%" as the goal with the smiling disclaimer that it will probably never happen.
They fancy themselves hacktivists but they don't seem to try very hard at sending messages to the public,
Oh, they send plenty of messages to the public, but you the common public just don't "get it" and they know it, which is why they don't waste their time on idiots like you. You have to come to them and only then you may understand. Or you'll continue to not "get it" and go back to watching Jersey Shore, taking the Republican presidential debates seriously, wishing Anonymous would do things the proper status-quo way.
They have been amazingly coherent for a loose-knit group of fuckwits. It is the public-at-large, not anonymous, who don't "get it."
What is important to note is that Gene Simmons, being Jewish, is the ultimate bad stereotype and does nothing but harm acceptance of his people. He is greedy, has a large nose, has adopted a reptilian("demonic") stage persona, and is pissing off the same demographic that made him rich decades ago.
In a series of brief interview excerpts shown on Entertainment Weekly's website, celebrities are asked what the best gifts they received were:
BRITNEY SPEARS - ''This little butterfly necklace I got from my little sister. She always liked butterflies.''
GENE SIMMONS - ''Shares in Krispy Kreme. I made a handsome profit.''
My heart goes out to the captured anon and I hope that Gene takes a firsthand look at Krispy Kreme's factory, specifically the oven-baking process.
Yes, but until the health care reform package runs most of the for profit insurance companies out of business
Whatever profits are to be purportedly "lost" during the healthcare reform will be made up by others' mandatory enrollment. It's all feelgood bullshit to keep the same ridiculously bloated healthcare complex fat. There are no real compromises here, and as usual, the common man loses.
It's funny how all the big-business parrots are decrying it as "socialism," the for-profit healthcare complex is a big-businessman's wet dream.

FBI are fucking morons. Their position requires them to be naive to get it. They gotta bust or intimidate(entice the weak-minded to comply) and or pay people (entice the greedy to comply) to get half-ass intel created and procured through the intelligence analog of so-called metrics of 'intelligence' gathering.
What every right-thinking individual should ask of FBI agents is,"Agent Smith, how angry does it make you to know that Father O'Malley was allowed to rape you in the ass as a kid, and also showed you how to focus that anger on others?"
The problem is that your parents tried to convince you that both of those fallacies were truth...and some of you were stupid enough to believe it.
Wow! The running back just took a hit and experienced a force of 150G's*! He was hit at a 5-degree angle and knocked back a whole meter...

"...theoretically this technology could allow a grocer to put a picture on the store package of the pig you are eating."
No thanks. I like to feel a personal disconnection with the animal I'm about to eat. Lobsters aren't so bad because they're like bugs, but many people keep furry animals like pigs as pets. The idea's like a local radio commercial that advertises lambskin boots and then plays a cute "Baaaaa" noise, which is quizzical and bizzarre.
Everytime that commercial comes on at work I say, "That is the sound of the lamb being slaughtered to make those boots."
He does have a girlfriend named Fanta Tunacunt.
