He might be joking, but the study was conducted here in Britain, and the parents that i've met here are terrible. nursery as a way of getting rid of the child for a while, 'playfarms' so that the children can leave the parents alone to have a smoke, people pushing the pram and fucking swearing every second fucking word, going for a bath and leaving a 3 yr old to his own devices for the afternoon, I saw a child half out of a second floor window on my road, and I didn't see a parent pick him up and take him to safety, oh no, I heard a shout of "get the fuck away from there".
I've only been in england since january, too.
These are all just personal observations, btw, not flaming, but the people i've seen need to take the responsibility of having children more seriously.
your post just made me think a scary thought.
to get these statistics, either:
A) hotmail saves your passwords in cleartext at some point, OR
B) people tell anyone who asks their passwords because it's a 'survey'.
I may be missing something obvious, but I don't think it should be possible to get these sorts of statistics about passwords.
Next thought, hopefully they send just an anonymous copy of the password to a random database in no way connected with the running of hotmail and in no way linking passwords to accounts, so maybe it is possible.
This may be covered in TFA or TFS but i'm tired and went straight to the comments looking for the funny.
by putting more money into space missions and eventually colonising the rest of the solar system, and then the galaxy, or by killing each other in numerous wars.
so because we have slackers of our own we should accept other countries slackers? no. People born here already have the right to be here, slackers or not, but others need to earn it.
Since they are live off of taxpayers money, do you like working so that all the lazy nigerian and british slackers can slack off? I don't.
I know that not all of them are scum, my point was more that we accept the scum as readily as we accept the decent ones, just badly worded, sorry. I have nothing against some foreigners, but, further up Malc said something about us needing a "culture of acceptance" of foreigners. I disagree and think the foreigners should accept British culture, not Vice Versa.
Interestingly, I just asked my best friend(south african living/working in london) about the foreigners already here and he said this:
check each and every one, deport with predujice everyone unlawfully here. and allow people to live by BRITISH law, made the BRITISH way and not to please anyone else.
Why should we accept anybody? we have limited space, jobs and resources. surely we should cherry pick who comes into the country? I'm not disagreeing outright, I just want to know if you think a line should be drawn, and if so, where?
As a brit, I want most of the foreigners to fuck off. I have nothing against foreigners, but I want a points-based system like canada / australia have, so the foreigners have to add substantial value to the country. Or, if we have that(I'm not sure) I want it to be far stricter. and sweet jesus, I want the foreigners to get NO BENEFITS AT ALL. they must fuck off and beg from their own governments. Also, with unemployment this high, we shouldn't be taking in any more foreigners. also, I don't want to accomodate muslims/indians/any-other-society. they have their own countries that bend over backwards for them. if they want to live here, they obey our laws and live in our society. no honour killings in families or whatever nonsense. Finally, english. that's right. you want to live here, learn english. my sister went to an NHS hospital and the fucking doctor could barely speak a word. naturally, she demanded a different doctor.
Flamebait? Trolling? Racism? I think it is, so I'll not post this anon, and I'll live with whatever hammering my karma deserves.
No, I don't support the BNP, but this is why they're gaining voters. I don't care about 50% whites or less by 2012, my issue is that the foreigners we let in are the scum their own countries are glad to be without.
Thanks for the link in your sig, signed the e-petition and already had plans to get rid of virgin when I move house next year, they're wang. I shall add the phorm thing to the letter I send them, explaining my opinion of their service. yes I know it's meaningless, but if enough people do it.....
Having grown up in south africa and recently left, I have to say this doesn't surprise me at all. what honestly surprises me(and will also surprise my sister when I go tell her about the latest za scam) is that there's medical grants? o_O seriously? medical grants? Holy crap, THAT should be news.
The United States has gotten itself into a massive debt (weakening its status in the world in the process), in no small part because of our propensity to try to protect those inalienable rights for people who aren't even our own citizens.
If by "people who aren't even our own citizens" you mean corporations that the legal system has declared to be people, then I agree with you. If, however, you are referring to foreign aid you need to crunch your numbers again.
I think he meant the cost of sending in your army to free the oppressed.
Not even bothering to RTFA from the summary alone. I don't care if I get fired. My first job, I was hired a day after the interview, got a raise in 3 months, another raise in 6 months. I didn't bitch/complain/cover my ass. I worked. that's all. hell, if I was at fault, I'd stand up and say "yeah, that bug was me, I'm very sorry and I'll fix it" no matter how bad it was. and I did. regardless how late I stayed. then I moved country. same story, hired day after interview, work, don't bother covering my ass/complaining/bitching and just get to it. I was taken off probation a month and a half early and given a raise.
I read an interesting article, basically, you are being paid what you're worth, if you want more, prove you're worth more, don't expect them to pay you more and then you'll start doing more work. covering my ass? waste of time. if my boss wants to fire me, he can go ahead, I'll find another job where i'll contribute and be paid what I'm worth. if I don't feel my salary is what I'm worth, then I'll simply start sending my CVs out, see what other people would consider my skills worth.
so yeah, I agree, a much better alternative is to just do the work, and if you feel you aren't valued, send your CV around, see what others would consider your skills to be worth.
also in south africa. a friend had one, of course he could have bought it online second hand and yeah, just realized that makes this comment totally pointless, but fuck it this is slashdot, when has that ever stopped anyone?
I think going after blizzard is a bit premature. sure, they got microsoft to bend over, but that must have been a gamble, even if the settlement was for less money than the transaction charge. given how many things this patent covers, they should have started small and hit the less heard of and profitable MMOs etc etc to build up more precedent and funds for their lawyer horde, then started building their way up to the bigger fish.
No, computers that have internet access for the fun and happiness of workers should be on a separate network from computers used for important medical stuphz. I would say cumputers used for important medical stuphz shouldn't be able to access the internet, but hey, they might need to hit a database in somewhere for symptoms or I don't know, but damn, it sure as hell shouldn't be allowed to go to hotmail or any other random website, that's what separate public access terminals should be for.
From the report: 'The game contains realistic, frenetic, and unrelenting violence which is inflicted upon "the Infected" who are living humans infected with a rabies-like virus that causes them to act violently. The player can choose from a variety of weapons including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and sniper rifles. However, it is the use of the "melee" weapons such as the crowbar, axe, chainsaw and Samurai sword which inflict the most damage. These close-in attacks cause copious amounts of blood spray and splatter, decapitations and limb dismemberment as well as locational damage where contact is made to the enemy which may reveal skeletal bits and gore.'"
What other religion has the "say you're sorry and we'll pretend it didn't happen" approach to sins? again and again and again.
"Forgive me father for I have sinned"
"what, again? that's the 30th ti... you know what, never mind, go sing 30 hail mary's"
"thank you for your forgiveness"

What more admirable goal could one have?
Trying to turn politicians into people?
Somebody should make a flash game of violently beating jack thompson and post that online. :D

yes, and the vast majority of them are better people than you, cowardly shithead.

It is entirely possible that that is why he referred to it as a Non-EU example. just saying.
piss stupid mistake with the quote tags.....

Sure the hospital gets a fail, but invasion of privacy is still a crime, isn't it?

is this a report or an advert?
I looked at moblin a while ago and thought the design better suited for touch screens rather than keyboard/mouse inputs.
It's a sad world when my first thought was "they're buying the patents for buttons and check-boxes".
If they were interested in being environmentally friendly, yes.
since they're interested in using the environmentally friendly feelings of their customers for extra profit, no.
