Well, he's obviously trolling, but that said, I've noted that a lot of gay men do play to the role.
That is to say, a lot of gay men, in my personal experience, will act in a stereotypically 'gay' way, much like jocks tend to act like jocks, goths tend to dress like goths, clubbers tend to act like clubbers, and so on.
Or, put another say, some gays act stereotypically gay, but more by choice or by indoctrination into the subculture than by requirement.
I find this to be true for all sub-cultures; it's one of the ways you join and are active in said culture. For example, quite honestly, one of the reasons I wear my hair long is because it's part of my mental image of what a sysadmin looks like.
I understand that. Like I said, it's a cultural difference.
Just seems odd that the gov't can't accuse you of something without proof, but a private citizen can, where the private citizen probably has much more ability than the gov't, in fact if not in theory, to spread said charges far and wide, where the actual truth of the matter stops, well, mattering.
Yes, and that's the problem. Why shouldn't the speaker be forced to demonstrate the veracity of his words? Why should the subject be forced to disprove the speaker?
This leads to situations like A accusing B of sexually molesting a child, with no proof, evidence or anything, and it falls to B to prove his innocence. Which, of course, in the court of public opinion, he won't be able to. "Where there's smoke, there's fire" and all that.
America has a culture of being able to lie publically. FFS, just look at Fox News going to court to prove that it's allowed to do just that! Britain, on the other hand, has a culture that even newsies are accountable, and no, you're not allowed to make shit up.
Sounds simple enough to me.
"Congradulations, son. You never triggered the 'wtf? start recording!' sensor."
Or, alternatively, "Congradulations, son. The 'wtf? start recording!' sensor tripped when that idiot on a skateboard rolled out in front of you. Excellent use of brake and avoid."
No, 'democracy' and 'republic' are two separate systems, though both involve an electorate.
America tries to be a bastard hybrid of the two, but as soon as you elect a representative who then votes on various bills, rather than voting on them yourself, you're no longer a democracy.
Democracy is, after all, two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. Or, to be a bit more vulgar, a football team and a cheerleader deciding what the evening's entertainment will be....
And yet the moment you utter the word 'union,' your average IT guy/gal, who was just complaining long and bitterly about how the company treats them, gets all up in arms over *that*.
It frightens me to see how many people in the thread, who I'd assume are American, think that it's acceptable for a company to fire folks for refusal to work unpaid overtime.
There are words and phrases that come to mind, like 'sharecropper' and 'indentured servitude.' 'Hey, you can just quit if you don't like it!' isn't a good enough answer. In a lot of cases, no, you can just quit, as the guy down the street is going to screw you just as hard.
Up here in sunny Ontario, anything over 44 hours is overtime. Period. 'Salaried' is defined as 'we assume you're working 88 hours over two weeks, so don't bother with a timesheet. Except for anything over 88 hours every two weeks. That still gets paid as overtime.'
See, now right here, you're already going *beyond* both the spirit and letter of the GPL, which requires you to make available, on request, to people who are using the software, for a reasonable fee, the source code, in usable format, on a reasonable distribution medium.
By simply allowing *anybody* to download, for free, the source, you've already exceeded the requirements of the GPL.
Community Games has it's own set of standards. Also, the QA is partly farmed out to other Community members; anything uploaded gets rated by a bunch of other users before it's eligable to go out on Live Marketplace or anything. for example.
I've been seriously considering using C++ and XNA to teach programming to my kids; sure, printing 'Hello World' is cool, but printing 'Hello world' on the Xbox is cooler.
If you can lay hands on a Win95 CD, you'll find, somewhere on it, I forget where, a program to make a bootable Dos 7 floppy disk. I don't know if that would fit on any variant of 5.25 floppy, as I don't recall if it actually gives you all the little progs and utils, but I do know it offers to load the good old misky-dex CD driver.
The intention is to make a bootable floppy which can then be used to run d:\setup.exe to get Windows 95 installed on something that can't boot from CD itself.

Where's the love for The Kobayashi Alternative?
I still get bitter when I think about Secret of Vulcan Fury.
Oh, and while Starfleet Academy was shite, Klingon Academy was awesome. More awesome than Bridge Commander.

Or you could just use the built-in netflix client on the 360....
Ummm, what? Rogers carries a few HTC-made Andoid phones, as well as iPhone, Blackberry, N95, WinMo, and what not.
Bell is about to start selling the Pre.
Those are both on iPhone too, fyi.
Well, two Queens.

They needed to build more supply depots.

I know; that's my point. Google for 'quantum immortality' for the concept.
If a star explodes, and it takes 500 years for us to notice, it still exploded 500 years ago.
Wow. By that logic, it's impossible for a man to be shot in the back.
And doing all that obviates the stated goal of having the torrents easily spread and accessed, and solves the problem anyway.
True, but deep down, you still knew that if needs *really really* must, you were a few minutes from surfacing, and at most, a day or two from home.
50 days into that trip to Mars, on the other hand....
Probably not, and even if it is, I think you'll find that most webservers these days have processor to burn.
Nonsense. You just run it through the exact same torrent-data-extractor process that the end-user would use.
