That's almost as tall an order as teaching Muslims that secular freedom is good for anything but overthrowing governments which practice it.
LOL, if not so true. effin brilliant statement. I will use in the future. Would have moded you up but just HAD to make an "in soviet russia" wisecrack.
Offer free use of the bandwidth from 5pm to 7am (or whatever off hours are over there) in exchange for a usable school system. I guess if they must have a bunch of shady sites and scammers, might as well get some education out of it.
You don't actually think with your brain do you? I personally don't have much of a problem with banning certain breeds, as it has become clear that many people can't train them correctly. However what you are talking about is purposefully making an animal aggressive... there are few dog owners that actually do that. And that can be done to any breed, or probably any animal. The bear analogy is stupid, and if you actually think about it you will realize that. You will also realize that making stupid arguments like you did will only degrade your position, not support it, as most people will see through your veil of logic. I'll make a deal with you, you quit saying stupid shit, and I won't start.
Anyone can express an opinion. Isn't opinion protected? Libel and slander usually involve you trying to make something true that isnt - aka. lying. You can say you think this kid is a fag all day. You can't say you saw him giving a bj to a guy in a public restroom, if that is false.
As long as what you say is an opinion, and you don't try to flat out lie, you can say what you want. Look at the article about Glenn Beck from earlier this week. If that isn't libel/slander, there seems to be little chance that an AC can be sued for those offenses with generic insults. Did this guy accuse him of rape and murder?
I am far more happy to keep it "say anything you want" vs. "say anything that doesn't piss anyone else off". Screw the quickly offended and easily scared.
I don't usually plug products, but this has really been an awesome buy for me. I have linux installed on the 8GB version and it's hardly noticeable when in the laptop and runs well. Has survived daily use for months now.
I know a complete meathead... he can be mean, but he is fair. If he sees a fat guy eating a pretzel at the mall, he thinks he's a loser. If he sees a fat guy in a gym busting a sweat, he gives him props for trying. It can be intimidating at the gym, but most of the guys are nice and will respect you simply for effort.
Those are good if you run an airline... but this guy doesn't seem to be in that boat. This may be small enough they only have a few u's at a colo, or in house servers. Their system costs could be hundreds a month, not tens of thousands. When the yearly cost of IT services is under 10 grand, even a 50% cost cut isn't really big news. In that case, you have to show how you have improved the usability, improved information availability and BS like that. It's actually much easier to just report tech numbers, cut and dry, and while the CIO/CTO might like that paragraph you wrote in a company with dozens of servers, it sounds like that would bring a silence in this case. They want to to know how the business is affected by IT, not how awesome your systems are. This is a fundamental difference in big vs small companies.
Lumpy, I am a Mensan, and you are right that there are local groups that are full of morons or "losers". But if you haven't tried it out lately, the increased use of the internet gives you a better ability to connect to members/sigs/projects you like. It might be worth a shot... we aren't all complete losers. The research journal has some interesting articles as well.
No but IQ does measure things like ability to see patterns... which can be really useful in the real world. Honestly, take two guys with no knowledge of the subject you need help in... who are you going to ask to help, the guy with an IQ of 90 or the one with an IQ of 130? My IQ doesn't mean I know everything... no shit. But it does mean I am more likely to hear info, analyze it, and apply it quicker, more accurately, and more often than the guy with an IQ of 90.
Yes, I have used some stuff like that, but it only works when outlook is open. if you could write a background app to connect to others when outlook is closed it would actually give you the feeling of a server... the outlook plugins just can't do that.
A child's IQ can be in the 200's because of the way the test is calculated. It is based on what the "average" (or is it median?) person of that age can do.
10 year old knows A
20 year old knows AB
Smart kid at 10 knows AB - that means his IQ is about 200
Smart kid turns 20 and knows ABC - since all 20 year-olds know AB, his IQ is now only 150
And that is simplified way to much, but it makes it easy to understand why kids can get such an outrageous IQ score. Once they hit adulthood the IQ will come down to below 160 or so. It had nothing to do with competing with Asians (they can use the same system, too).
This ad is less deceptive than the AT&T one claiming the "fastest 3G network" when it is only faster because it's smaller and doesn't have to deal with coverage in spottier areas.
So one has focused on speed, the other on wide coverage. Sounds like a win-win for consumers... and now that we have all the facts, can we move on?
Stable means dependable. Maybe resistant to change could be used as well, but that still isn't NO change. And I have never, ever, heard of software that was considered so damn good it didn't need some maintenance.
GP is right, if you can't handle this situation, you shouldn't be driving. You are correct that even if you overshoot... some automatics have a safety check that won't let the tranny go into reverse if you are going over a certain speed forward.
Keeping it illegal does keep prices high as the risk of arrest is there; prohibition does nothing to prevent new competition in the market, but actually increases the competition as profits are higher and there is no reason you can't buy some weed and sell it on the next block. There are no forms to fill out, hardly any startup costs (you don't need a store), no worries about bad checks, cc processing, etc. Your only barrier is the willingness of the competition to stop you (turf wars).
I know you weren't advocating prohibition, but you really have to think about all the angles, and for the most part there is nothing that prohibitions makes better, safer or less appealing for almost every party involved. Also my dealer would rather have a day job like you and I (and he's a sincere guy who is trying), but his felony conviction makes it pretty hard.
You managed to speak nothing about tfa (beside your wild ass speculation that somehow all the 16 year olds with an iphone are "well-educated", ha), throw in a little fanboism attacking other phones and those that don't like the iphone, then you pretend to like linux. And you got modded up because of all of that, and nothing of value was added to the discussion! Awesome job everyone involved!
People that don't have exchange, but do have Outlook could easily write software to share contacts, tasks, calendars and what not. I could see creating a p2p exchange replacement. But I'll have to see the API to know if that's really possibility.
I don't have all day to correct you, but I'll give a quick shot. So you claim that all we know about nature, might be wrong, and therefore what we know can't refute your position? So the fact that we know you can't die and resurrect, is mute. The fact that we know no human would survive being swallowed by a fish, is mute. That we know the whole world didn't flood, is mute. That we have ZERO EVIDENCE of your god, is no problem for you. Seriously?
And your evidence, is hardly. The first link is a book, so I don't have time to read that. The second pointed to the story of the siege at Jericho. The "evidence" is that there was a city there, and it did lose a battle at that time. GREAT! So a major victory was recorded in history! It even says that the probably reason the walls fell was earthquake, not god (and no he didn't cause it, or else you have to blame every death of every good person in a earthquake on your god as well). This proves, nor confims, anything about your religion. This only confirms the history of that battle, not the fact that your god had some hand in the victory.
And your third link states this: "The New Testament stands alone in historical accuracy. It is the greatest of the resurrection proofs. The gospels themselves are the most reliable historical books in existence." AWESOME! Your religion is the best evidence of your religion! It claims the bible is all knowing and perfectly accurate and because of that, we must be able to deduce that Christ really died and resurrected. Have you ever heard two sides of a car accident? Have you ever thought you saw someone move in the night, only to see it was something inanimate? Have you ever heard of a jury of 12 finding no reasonable doubt as to the guilt of man; have you heard of DNA evidence freeing that same person (or even non-DNA evidence)?
First, it's thinking, not a fact. There is no fact that can discredit your religion. However, after seeing thousands of years of humans trying to make up a reason why we are here, and seeing most of them be wrong, ludicrous, and silly, you start to really question this idea of god. Every culture has had a religion; all have been replaced at some point in history. I see Christianity as no different, and no better. You do not believe in many gods, I believe in one less than you.
Or you could read the rest of that sentence which states you don't do it at churches. NEVER SEEN IT! Went to church for years, never taught me about anything other than trying to brainwash me into Christianity. So will you be spreading the good word of Muhammad once you start preaching? Why not, the stories are about the damn same. There's others out there even more similar... but I am sure you know the names.
Christians don't study other religions in general. Perhaps the leaders do, if no other reason that to defend the faith, but not the majority. How can you be so ignorant about your own religion?

Oh, and all your fortune and savings were lost in the Great Depression and following Revolution of 2642.
or more likely, the company went under in 2644 and your head ended up in a dumpster.
No... like Costanza. Ninjas can't spot raccoons like that!

Agreed. I guess it's a good thing most of the tax income is from businesses and people with money (top 10% pay 70% of taxes).
