From my understanding, circumcision was used during "biblical days" because they didn't get to wash frequently as we do, so it was to prevent disease and ease in keeping the genitals clean. It then got indoctrinated into the religious beliefs of those of the time. It was supposedly a commandment of the old covenant to do this to children. Since, however, even religious followers should have been taught in church that we are no longer bound by the old covenant, so it should no longer be a religious factor, to do this to children either. If you are a non-believer, and I personally ride the fence between the whole religion seems illogical and seems to be disproved by science here and there, and the whole, if there really is a creator, and all that the religions teach is true, then he probably operates outside of our known laws of science, because that would be the only explanation for it, so our science could never disprove that there is a creator... but I do digress. Anyway... some religious communities still believe their baby boys must be circumsized, and others just do it because it was done to them so what's good for the goose...
Personally, I believe you should leave it alone... it adds pleasurable surface area to the man unit and it helps keep the man unit from being desensitized by rubbing against underpants, denim (if going commando), etc., which eventually leads to the unit not being so sensitive. Also, for all those that still do it because of religious beliefs... if there is an all-mighty creator, why in the hell did he put a foreskin on boys if it was supposed to be chopped off? Why would he want us to mutilate and cause massive pain to babies? Because we were meant to have it... again, it was only done back "in the day" for health reasons, and some how got locked into the religious beliefs of some.

Stealing is bad, mmmkay. I guess the moral of the story is, crime only pays the criminals that have the courts on their side. It definitely serves to scare others into not downloading songs. People start to feel less invulnerable when they see someone basically ruined for infringing 24 songs. It's a totally unjust amount they are getting per song, but as I see it, the court is using this as a warning to others. If you just went to jail overnight for committing major crimes, more people would commit them, and I guess that's what they are after here. They are proving a point, setting an example. You can liken it to the movie scenes where the evil boss shoots one of his men, usually a somewhat prominent henchman, to prove he has no qualms about shooting his people, why would he care about shooting you?
I know we aren't blasting to make way for new condos on the moon... but it sounds strangely similar to the Time Machine movie's plot in the "near" future, where we split the moon accidentally and cause mass destruction here on Earth as a result... at least I won't have to be an Eloi.
Can you prove that it would have? Perhaps you can prove that Neo would not have knocked the vase over, had the Oracle not told him to not worry about it? It's not something you can absolutely prove, but it does seem logical, no? Your line of thought reminds me of the terminator series... mainly starting with T2, where they try to stop the apocalyptic future by stopping the production of SkyNet, but each time, even though they stopped one means of SkyNet being created, there is always another that pops up. And as the story goes, they don't stop the creation of SkyNet, but they do delay it. I can agree with you... or disagree with you on that point, but you can't argue that some stimuli, such as the need for smaller electronics and control systems in space vehicles, often speed along the development of those things. You can't prove it wouldn't have happened otherwise, but it seems logical that if that need hadn't been there, the development of those technologies would have at the very least, been delayed until that need did arise elsewhere.
Wait. So you are saying they won this argument, in the face of Godwin's law? Wow... Louisianan must be the land of unicorns, magical leopluradons and candy mountain!
Sure... if you are a blogger maybe. If you are only concerned with your friends seeing your site. I work with software that uses a web front-end, and we do work mainly for large corporate clients. So far, all internal systems they have run IE6, with no plans for upgrade in the near future. These are huge companies, spanning North and South American as well as Europe, Asia, pretty much everywhere. I'd say mainly corporations are the ones keeping IE6 alive, but I just got done working on an elderly lady's computer last night, she has a new toshiba notebook, and her spare computer, a desktop, still has IE6 on it. The problem is, the people that have it, don't see the problem in it. The corporations that use it, don't see the point in spending a lot of money to phase it out. It's "tried and true" in their eyes.
Depends on who your clients are I guess... If you are marketing computer upgrades or even new computers... you can only assume that your target audience is running old hardware and software.
I concur. I used to read comics, friends of mine still do... I've been in the shops back then and recently... the stereotypes are for the most part true. Like all other stereotypes, they are based on some fact, and you just broaden the test group to include all peoples in a particular grouping. I'm pretty sure the majority of Chinese people have trouble speaking English words with L in them, and I'm pretty sure the Irish and Irish descendants love them some booze... was in Boston for St. Patrick's day, so I saw it first hand, and I frequent many a Chinese restaurant and not once have I heard them pronounce Mongolian beef without saying Mongorian.
Shoot, go to a comics convention. A lot of the attendees are normal everyday joe looking people, there are even some fantastically hot women there... but a good majority of them are comic book guy from the Simpsons, and thus they/we all get lumped into that group. Face it. Besides, it's not as fun to make fun of ordinary people with hobbies, as it is to make fun of people who live their hobbies.
yeah, the flash file which is the page/site is hosted at cdnetworks, there is no footer, several things tip you off that this is not anyone of any importance... FLAME ON!!!!
Was I the only one to read this as "fail release" and not "fall release"? I guess the topic helped to add to my misread confusion.

Seriously though guys, getting back to a date for the launch of this game... they mostly come at night... mostly.

Invoke movie physics!!!! You have to remember Lucas' 1st & 2nd laws of physics!

Bottom line, is this anything but a penis comparison for astronomers who can find the farthest away planet?
...and this astronomer is hung like a brown dwarf!!!1
... he was quoted as saying "SHARONNNNNNN!!!!!"
Perhaps a chip could be installed in the patient instead, as they aren't likely to leave without themselves unless they are really out of it.

You mean like Das Boot, Below, and 20,000 Leagues?
Now the blind won't have to worry so much about being sold pirated copies of their favorite movi... oh... nevermind.

That sounds to me like that's your problem and not the readers then? If you choose to not be able to view tabled layouts, then that's your choice. :)
