1 - Implement the power to search without warrant anyone suspected of a 7 year jailable offence. 2 - Get that law passed 3 - Make EVERY crime punishable by a 7 year jail sentence 4 - Privatise the prison system, float them on the stock market, and buy lots of shares. 5 - ???? 6 - Profit !
Don't try to correct anyone who doesn't "get it" ?
Drag everyone down to the level of the lowest common denominator ?
What a great way to achieve any progress !
Seriously, you seem to have taken this on as a personal quest, much more so than the person I actually let rip on. If I was too harsh on him then I'm sorry, everyone has bad days. But you seem to have another agenda, in any other forum / game / online community, the desciption I would use would be "wannabe mod"...
Can we let this go already, I'm sure no one else is interested anyway ?
This is neither the usenet of the 90's nor an email message where it's required / helpful to quote in entirety the parent post.
The layout has always been very clear for me, and I've never noticed any particular posting bugs.
I'm sorry if "Reply to This" is too complicated for you, but it's a hell of a lot less complicated than hijacking threads with comments like "I assume you are responding to me"...
It's patently obvious that I wasn't, so please don't "assume" anything.
Perhaps they can email you a digest at the end of the month, so you can follow it in a fashion you are accustomed to ?
Nope it was in fact a reply to the parent post, that's why I clicked reply there, and not reply to your post. The reply was in fact an attempt at humour responding to the statement:-
"The problem is that you might do some really stupid stuff when 18 in College and end up paying for it at 35."
However, you seem to have missed that as it whooshed past, possibly your overinflated ego got in the way ?
Do you mean the part where it says "if you post pictures of yourself making a twat of yourself in public, Facebook cannot be held liable if someone passes you over for a job interview" ?
Yeah, and if the medicine, technology and many other breakthroughs don't kill them, guaranteed their brother who happens to live in the next tribe WILL.
Africa will always be the raped continent, unfortunately most of the time it's their own people doing the raping... Hutus and Tutses for example.
Bunch of tribalistic savages, the lot of them... especially the ones with honorary OBE's.
Yes, you are not forced to buying fluorescent tubes.
You could always:-
1 - Sit in the dark 2 - Burn some books to make a dim campfire 3 - Harness the power of naturally light emitting bugs
Of course 1 is no solution at all, just the effect of the initial cause, 2 will piss off the "global warming/cooling/change" crowd, and 3 will piss of the "save the ant crowd".
The Tories are "certainly committed" to just about everything, while they are in opposition !
Once they get into power, watch as NONE of your freedoms will become any less scrutinized, and they'll just add their own unique brand of upper-class-twittery to the mix.
Face it, the only way to get ANY kind of change is to vote Lib-Dem en-masse at the next election, or not to vote at all. To be honest, a hung parliament is probably better than the current "non-choice" of Labour or Tory, at least for 4 years nothing much will change, as they'll spend all their time bickering.
Today's kdawson WTF is proudly brought to you by the writers guild and Microsoft.
In an attempt to appeal the the nerds amongst us, kdawson today cited prize money amounts in Power notation.
For those of us who aren't binary nerds, and weren't able to pull the magic number straight the the subconscious regions of our brains, $2^13 = $8192 dollars.
I mean come on, does anyone still take this person seriously ?
While I don't agree with DRM on physical media you have purchased and own, it's implicit that Netflix is a RENTAL service. You don't get to keep the content, you just get to view it one or more times before the rental period is over.
So why is DRM a bad thing in this case ? It works exactly as it's supposed to !
I hate to be pedantic, but they need to record -1 moderations also... so it's implicit that they'd be using 16 bit signed integers, and they'd already be worried about the score going over 32767 and becoming -32768 on the next step.
Yes, but your 1 dollar razor with 20 dollar blades is the PERFECT inverse analogy for where the Music Industry simply don't get it.
With your razor, you get a chance to try something for 1 dollar, and then evaluate if it is worth spending 20 dollars for the blades.
With the music industry, they want you to pay the 20 dollars sight-unseen (or should that be ears-unheard), and then you discover the crap was only worth 1 dollar anyway.
Their whole album business has been based on 1 or 2 top-10 hits, and 9 or 10 tracks of crap padding... because people suddenly want to break their business model, and JUST buy the top-10 hits, do they adapt ? No they go on the offensive like a tiger with a trodden-on tail.

You could drive your car with your feet if you wanted to, that don't make it a good f*****g idea !
No you have it all backwards ...

FROSTY Piss, I meant FROSTY ... damnit, I was so concerned with getting that submitted, I skipped the preview button. Silly me.
Yup, we website is composed in 144 point font, bright red, and contains just 2 words ...
YOU'RE SCREWED !!!
(Oh, and prosty piss ?)
So what do you suggest ?
Don't try to correct anyone who doesn't "get it" ?
Drag everyone down to the level of the lowest common denominator ?
What a great way to achieve any progress !

They shouted at her, "Don't eat that sausage roll !" ?

Things were so much better in the old days in Siberia, where everyone knew of Frosty Piss.
Well unless ...

that's still a pretty big coincidence !
What you mean like taking out a loan to pay for your US college education ?
Yeah, and if the medicine, technology and many other breakthroughs don't kill them, guaranteed their brother who happens to live in the next tribe WILL.

Any more bright (excuse the pun) ideas ?
Unless it's diseased, most of your liver will still be there to begin with ?

Hate replying to myself, but does anyone else see the irony of this statement from the summary ?
that guarantee hostile code simply cannot execute (PDF)
Bearing in mind that PDFs are now also toxic, and very dangerous to download from anywhere.

You'll be eating your words when Moonlight supports SL2 content & codecs
I suspect by 2028, we'll have possibly upgraded from SL2.

Thank you so much for this tip :-)

Bonus points for naming the movie where that quote came from ;-)
