Funny, but wrong. The elite know better than to use money, paper, matches, or petrol lighters to light their cigars and pipes. Anything other than a smokeless flame will taint the tobacco.
Anyone who burns money to light their cigar is just demonstrating they still belong in the 99%.
There wouldn't be anyone left then, except perhaps newborns... who would promptly starve to death since any adult capable of taking care of them would be in jail.
Good.
Nope, nothing more. Just "Good." Something drastic needs to happen, and until thousands are imprisoned every day for doing nothing more than crossing the street or downloading a song, it won't change.
Think of this corruption as an infection, or cancer. Up to a certain point you can treat the symptoms and let your natural immune system work out the problems. After that, though? Well, sometimes you just have to remove a limb so the whole can survive.
Guy who was on a course I attended got a call one evening from a friend of his regarding some video footage. The friend runs a bar, and had received a request for CCTV video of an assault on his premises shortly before closing, which this guy provided (being the IT type who could do it properly). However, the Police had requested 40 minutes of footage, which included around 25 minutes of footage of after the license allowed the sale of alcohol; The friend was seen still taking money for drinks after that time. The video was used to strip him of his alcohol license.
For those of you who don't know, the one and only, correct answer to the above question please be advised:
Humourous, but incorrect. "Honey, do I look fat in this?" "Yes, but you don't look fat in that other dress. I guess it must just be that dress. I tell you because I want you to look your best as much as you do, and not telling you helps nobody." "..." Profit.
11 years with the same girl, guys. Just need to find the right one.
I read this post, and I immediately thought of this blatant slashvertisement It has 15 comments as of now, which considering it's a day old is significant. Further, only one of those comments is about the article; The rest is spam, or calling Dice out on this behaviour.
Top Gear is an entertainment show, not a documentary. I wouldn't believe the results of any of the "testing" they do on there if I were looking to buy a car.
The kind of people who buy the cars featured on Top Gear couldn't care less about whether it was panned on Top Gear or not.
Yes, excellent. Let's take that further; We're all made of space dust, and will all return to space dust eventually, because we're all within the same closed system.
Micro-scale, though, a person at rest releases less CO2 than a person exerting themselves, and that's the only statement made. Nobody really thinks he meant that the car exerts less CO2 than the cycling man, just the man inside it. Yes, it's a stupid point to make, and he's stupid for making it, but it doesn't make it any less factually correct.
All I meant was that before OP starts writing to his congressman about it, he should actually comprehend the article correctly. The guy isn't saying they should tax exercise.
Working in IT support in education, I think they're like this because schooling is horribly under-funded, and they have to be ruthless in order to get the money we need.
Did a representative of MY government just try and tell me that my breath is somehow more harmful to the environment than the Hummer exhaust I'm choking on?
Betteridge's Law of Headlines needs to be expanded to cover comments on websites. No, he didn't say that at all, as you would know if you'd RTGodDamnA. He said that your breath while cycling is more harmful to the environment than your breath while driving a car, as you release more CO2 because of the physical exertion. Where I come from, we learn that in science class at around 10 years old. Secondly, the tax is separate from this issue. It was pointed out that car drivers currently pay road tax to cover maintenance costs while bicycles do not, yet bicycle riders contribute to wear and tear on the roads (even if only in a minor way). I disagree with this, as tax isn't paid specifically to care for roads. Instead all taxes are put into the public coffers, and then divided up amongst various departments.
We can talk about prosecuting Manning after Bush and Obama are in the Hague for war crimes. Anything else is garbage.
I also think this, and post it often. However, the USA is the only Western country to outright refuse to ratify the Rome Statute (Cite), and therefore is not under the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction. As such, none of the crimes they are responsible for investigating: Genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression, can be investigated by them.
Indeed. However, it's also got a diagonal screen size greater than 3.5". I was trying to keep to the OP's specification as much as possible, to which the S3, Nexus 4 etc don't qualify.
I was personally wondering, this side of the moon where it could possibly be that expensive to run a network, as I could pay a courier with a hard drive to fly around the world for much cheaper than that.
Yes, but you wouldn't have a latency of 14ms.
I pay a little more than that, but I get 24Mb/6Mb at the moment with a free upgrade to fiber at the end of March with a FTTC upgrade, hitting (hopefully) close to the speeds mentioned here. I could have had it now through a different ISP, but it was significantly more expensive and I'd have to pay for the FTTP installation myself. I'm not made of money!
What I meant by pebble / bluetooth combination was that I could use the pebble as a discreet interface for checking text messages and other quick notifications, and use it to answer the phone (which would be directed to the bluetooth headset) as necessary. With that, I would be happy having a tablet with phone capabilities in my pocket to use as a full device, and not considering it for use as a phone handset. The only issue would be outgoing calls, but then I suppose once you've selected the contact you could put it away. If only voice dialing was accurate enough.
Until you wanted to make a phone call. I can just barely hold my Kindle one handed phone-style (between thumb and fingers around vertical edges, and my hands are bigger than average. Your 7" phone would be like holding a Kindle to your face.
Saying that, though, a mixture of Pebble/smart watch and Bluetooth headset might just tip me over into swapping from a phone with a big screen to a phablet / tablet with voice capability. That's a whole different question, though
In the UK we have laws covering "going equipped", which essentially means that you have tools required to commit a crime (e.g. burglary) and no reasonable explanation for why you are carrying them. A builder driving his van with a hammer, a wrecking bar, some bricks and heavy duty gloves is obviously carrying tools for his line of work. A 17 year old with his three friends in a clapped out Astra carrying the same equipment, though, is a different matter.
Anecdotally, Valve saw a 3000% increase in profit on the sale of Left 4 Dead when they reduced the sale price by 50% in 2009, beating the launch sale figures by a significant margin. Say launch figures were 1000 copies sold at £30, = 30000 launch revenue. 3000% increase on 1000 = 30000, multiplied by the now £15 price is £450000, a 15x increase in revenue.
Nowhere here do I suggest that reducing the price of the newest Jessie J single by 90% will remotely increase sales; You need to have a quality product before people will pay for it.

With an attitude like that, I'd invest in a sofa bed. It's where I'd be sleeping most nights anyway.

Comparing a flagship Apple product to a mid-range Apple product. Good job. Here's 30 which are more comparable
3.5" screen max, 512MB RAM, 1GHz CPU minimum, Android OS, available now. You can choose other options to suit you.
If you're talking about features exclusive to the iPhone (Siri, Retina display, iTunes sync) then you're an idiot.
I would be fine with a 7 inch phone
