A male friend of mine is around 5'10 and weighs around 140 pounds - he looks like he could fall apart at any time. There is no way that is a healthy weight.
On the other hand, a female friend of mine is around 5'8 and 125-ish pounds. She looks really good, but could probably lose 5 pounds or so before she's in the "so thin it's unhealthy" category.
I prefer girls a little bit thicker than that myself, 150's is a-ok in my book.
China's economy is very much wrapped up in ours, and their military technology still lags far behind ours. The two combined will make them eager to settle anything that comes to blows, and make any conflict extremely painful for them.
Our GDP is three times theirs, which means we have a lot more resources to leverage. War is not something China is in a good position to wage, which is why they don't fight many lately.
So you're saying I should be getting my notification for a Nobel prize shortly, huh?
I mean, I haven't even continued the two wars that someone else started! I'm way more peaceful than Barrack Obama! I'm quite possibly the most peaceful man on the planet!
BTW, Obama didn't do anything before he was selected, he didn't have time to. He won the award for being anything other than a Republican, preferably someone who says a lot of really nice things but never follows through. It wasn't just for not being Bush, as many people claim, there is no way in hell they would have given it to McCain.
That is pure, unadulterated bullshit right there.
Apparently the Peace Prize has been a joke since day one, as people who know the history of such things have been pointing out. That is really sad because every once in a while they seem to actually get someone half-way decent, and it tarnishes their reputation more than anything.
Indeed, you'd probably find more libertarians who'd support the right of the stalked to shoot said stalker.
That's the part people forget.
We wouldn't need so much protection by the government if we were allowed to protect ourselves.
A response of "Try it and I'll cut your fucking balls off" would have sent this guy off looking for easier prey, particularly if castration was considered a legitimate defense against rape.
You realize it doesn't have to be directly in front of it to interfere with the signal, right?
Neither the summary nor the article ever said G-15 passed by SES-1.
What they said was Galaxy 15's transmissions interfered with NOAA's AWIPS, which is absolutely correct. They fixed the problem by changing frequencies on the operational satellites, and everything is hunky dory.
After Galaxy 15 passes SES-1 in a few days things should be able to go back to normal.
Rou often sounds like "roo" in fact, since many words with the combination are from the French.
The assumed sound, however, is the same as that in out. It's such a standard sound that the dictionary often gives it in its pronunciation guide (TFOD's pronucniation for "Route" is simply rout or root).
GP is just trying to save face, even though he is demonstrably wrong.
He was talking about the spelling of Rouge. If you know your grammar and were to sound it out without ever hearing it first, you would think "R-ow-j". The default sound for "ou" is "ow", the default for "ge" is "j". "R-ow-j" is what you would naturally assume the correct pronunciation is for rouge.
Rogue, were you to attempt to spell it without having seen the word before, would probably end up as "rowg" or "rohg", because that is how it sounds: "r-oh-g".
I wonder where you are getting your data? Did you read a poll of Wikileaks supporters or something? Hell, according to the Zogby poll over 50% of Americans believe Wikileaks should be considered a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
Oh please, all they did was say "Hey Sweden, I heard you got some kind of rape allegations, could you arrest him? He is pissing us off." and the Swedes said "Ok, but he's not here, I think he's in Britain". Britain sat back and said "Jesus who friggin cares?" and did nothing.
Assange then went to Scotland Yard and said "I'm sick of this crap, lets get this overwith." To which Britain replied "Ok".
If that is "moving heaven and earth", you sure don't expect much out of your government.
The lack of quality in the Slashdot army of armchair legal scholars is a bit disappointing.
I can't imagine why, we're armchair legal scholars for god's sake! If we actually knew what we were talking about it would be harder to get into asinine arguments about trivialities when the major issue isn't even discussed!
And yes, it's rape in Sweden if a women withdraws her consent and the man doesn't stop.
That's rape in the US too, there have been a few cases on it.
A woman has every right to choose to stop at any point during sex (so does a man, but it's easier for a man to rape a woman than vice-versa). If she tells you "stop" and you don't, it's rape. There is no "we'd already gone so far" crap, rape is non-consensual sex. Period.
Now, the Swedish has a law specifically dealing with broken condoms which the US generally doesn't have (if it breaks, it's assumed to be non-consensual from that point on, something like that) , but conceptually speaking the laws on rape are the same.

Why would I limit myself to today's hyped snapshot of the Internet experience?
Because you don't know how to set up a PC to your TV (or even that such a thing is possible).
That's probably 80% of consumers.
Good luck winning that war man.
I have to say I doubt it.

This should make you feel real good about your credit card security:

It's a few years old now, but I don't think things have changed all that much in this arena.
No way, it had to be Vim!

Is it really that hard to actually read? Jesus.
Sorry, nobody cares.
Are we going sailing?
Or are we going Saaaaaaiiilliiiiiing!?

In other words, your enunciation is shit.
In what universe does rou sound like roh? If anything you should naturally think the ou sounds like ow.
A g proceeded by an e rarely sounds like anything other than a j, so you should assume r-ow-j, which gets the particulars.
That's odd, considering that just five days ago 77% said Wikileaks was a threat to National Security.
I wonder where you are getting your data? Did you read a poll of Wikileaks supporters or something? Hell, according to the Zogby poll over 50% of Americans believe Wikileaks should be considered a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
Kinda conflicts with your made up numbers, there.
Yes, that's exactly what it means. He turned himself in. The Brits weren't seriously trying to arrest him (they were keeping tabs on him though).
Obama wasn't as quiet as all that, he was pretty vocal in wanting the Swedes to hang him.
The behind the scenes stuff I wouldn't attribute to Obama anyway, he's spineless as far as his own party goes.
Oh please, all they did was say "Hey Sweden, I heard you got some kind of rape allegations, could you arrest him? He is pissing us off." and the Swedes said "Ok, but he's not here, I think he's in Britain". Britain sat back and said "Jesus who friggin cares?" and did nothing.

I think anybody who has ever met a woman knows that there is nothing they hate more than another woman.
All the big news agencies already have them, and an encrypted copy of the cables (minus the key) is floating around the web.
He covered his ass on that score.
Honestly, sometimes one is an idiot, so what one thinks doesn't really matter to me.

Yeah, but was she hot?
It's totally worth it if she's hot! ;)
Quips and and reality are two different things.
Not Swedish, just pointing that out.
