If people saw it on-line perhaps they would be motivated to rent a canoe or kayak and get out on the water.
I'm sorry I don't share your sentiment, but the last thing I want is all my cool hiking trails and canoeing spots full of people, families, whiny kids, garbage and commerce.
What is with the 'victimization' culture these days?
Grow a pair and just ignore it, or call the cops if you're really that scared of junk mail.
I think if she isn't in some sort of self defense class now, the court should throw her case out as she obviously wasn't scared enough to change anything about her life. Seriously, if she was ACTUALLY scared of some random person from Europe, what about the thug around the corner? Surely she'd want to learn to protect herself.
But of course she won't because she wasn't actually scared.
She's just as pathetic as the advertising company IMHO.
mess with their stereo while driving as that too is a major cause of accidents
Bullshit.
It's just what people tell the insurance companies. You wouldn't tell them you were packing a bowl of weed, or grabbing a beer from the backseat, or smacking your kid, or texting on your phone, or trying to grab something you dropped on the floor or whatever.
It's not OK to tune my stereo a foot to the right of me but it's perfectly safe to look over my shoulder BEHIND ME to check my blind spot?
Fuck that.
If someone can't tune a stereo and drive, I don't see how they could've survived to 16.
I see the same thing happening to high school students I am mentoring. They write very boring essays with a ton of fillers full of sentences structured in a way to use more words than necessarily and make the meaning more ambiguous.
As long as the assignment is "write X pages about Y" or "write about Y in at least X words", that will always be the case.
DC's highest court ruled that the police do not have a legal responsibility to provide personal protection to individuals, and absolved the police and the city of any liability.
What. The. Fuck.
Next thing you know, congress won't be responsible to pass laws in the best interest of American citizens.
What? When the recruiters came to my highschool they had the colorblindness tests and said I couldn't join because I am colorblind. My grandpa wanted to join the army in WWII but he had to settle for the Seabees because he was colorblind. Your uncle is lying to you, or he was in some different branch.
Sounds pretty fluffy to me. I know a lot of people quitting smoking... because the price has doubled in the last year where I live, not because it's cool.

saying they're concerned that new regulations would slow down investment in broadband networks
Any slower and the underground cables are going to start digging themselves up.

That's where I go to get away from them!
I don't get it.
Oh, incidentally, as she's a female I don't think she really needs to "grow a pair".
See, that's what I'm talking about. (If you don't know what grow a pair means, then you can stop reading here).
Why should women be defenseless and helpless? Why is that OK/expected?

It depends on where you live.
It's real easy to find some good live jazz in northern Wisconsin.
Oh wait, it's only classic rock and country cover bands. I'd have to travel to Milwaukee or Madison probably.
Jackass.

Yep, sounds like Linux to me :P
You can.
My girlfriend's mom got a flu shot years back and got nerve damage from it, the settlement is supposed to be in the 6 figure range.
I just realized that the picture is not someones parody but the actual advertisement!
I thought someone was getting sued for photoshopping their advert.
Looks fucking creepy...
Richard Cheney? He's a dick!
I wish these researchers would stop being pussies and destroy some of these botnets.
Fuck the legal issues, who the hell is going to sue you for destroying a botnet?
This is absolutely true. You also don't see their music on the new jukeboxes either.
What is 'book'?

I'm making one right now with a buddy. Parts will cost you about $75 after you find your neon sign transformer.
Start out with the transformer. Right there is a lesson in power/watts/amps etc right off the bat.
HV caps are expensive, so make some leyden jars.
Hook up your coils and caps and you've got some sparks.
Then you can move on to inductance and resonance and tune the thing.
Add a rotary spark gap, terry filter, power conditioner etc as they learn more.
Get a couple neon bulbs, build a corona motor, etc.
I've got some experience in electronics, but in the past few days my knowledge is really starting to solidify.
Plus giant sparks are fun, everyone will dig it.

Wait...
What cost $100 in 1994 would cost $143.47 in 2008.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2008 and 1994, they would cost you $100 and $70.51 respectively.

Who said there was a controversy?

Undoing my mod points to reply.
You know what happens when I ask a European who their favorite football team is(referring to soccer)?
They say "Oh, I don't really watch American football."
And if I ask them who their favorite soccer team is, I get "We call it football in Europe."
The Europeans are always right, and all Americans are dumb.
Fuck off!
Is a tube station??
