the idea is not that people are going to go around attacking a random cop. It's that someone's going to get pissed and track you down and kill your family.
Yes, where I live they drive their cars home. And actually, they do a pretty good job taking care of their yard.
sounds like you're just thinking about gaming. Sure, that would suck for gaming, but I'm running a very productive 4 monitor set up now. In order from left to right, 22"@1920*1080, 22"@1920*1080, 26"@1920*1200, 22"@1600*1200.
The 26" HDTV sits directly in front because it's got the most to look at. Code goes here. To the right, toolbars, pallets, menus, etc. To the left go the results of what I'm programming (PHP/PERL/HTML/CSS) to the left of that lies the mail, instant messengers and other distractions.
great observation. This is just another case of the government doesn't want to be held responsible for its actions.
But on the other hand, I can sympathize with police. Because they and their families are such large targets for vengeance, I can see why they don't want any record of what they look like made public. If it's made completely legal to publish pics/video of the cops, why not also post their home address, their kids names and the school they go to?
Well, too bad. It's going to happen in public and there's simply nothing you can do about it.
You aren't kidding. It's funny that this topic even came up. This weekend we're walking in the mall (sears actually) behind 4 cops. The language coming out of their mouths was terrible. Granted, they didn't realize we were there, but still... Normally I wouldn't take my kids near a situation where they'd be exposed to something like that (just like we wouldn't take them to a strip joint or comedy club) but c'mon, cops at the mall?
I've always an issue with "species" Why exactly are grey breasted wren and a white breasted wren considered different species when a Chihuahua and a Great Dane considered different species? Yeah, the DNS testing may give you a difference, but back during darwin he didn't have that luxury. And try explaining to a 5 year old why those two wrens are different but those two dogs are the same.
What's really cool is that he developed a 68040 ISA board (read: apple mac quadra/centris) that would go into a windows 95 machine and boot some OS nobody's ever heard of. Wonder how close he was to running OS 7.5(ish) or even NeXT.
The funny thing is, I had a powermac around that time that had a pci card in it with a pentium-100 on it that would run win'95.
Your post directly relates to something we're going through at our house. Our 5 year old is intrigued with what words he can't say, and which ones he can. And he's pushing it as far as he can, without getting in trouble. My wife and I don't swear in front of the children, and we don't listen to music or TV that does. There's a line somewhere between not wanting your kids to have a potty mouth vs allowing your child to express himself. Anyway my child came home from school one day, "Daddy, can I say damnit?" No son, you can't say damnit. Can I say dangit? Yes.
He comes home a few weeks later. Daddy, can I say "What the." (As in WTF but without the F) After a little deliberation, we said OK. How can the words What and The be considered offensive. Well, after about a week of "What the..." I can't stop completing that sentence in my head. We finally changed our rule and told him that even though those aren't bad words, the way he's saying it isn't very nice. He made the decision that he doesn't want to do something that's 'ugly' and doesn't say it any longer.
And as for the _your problem_ I agree and I disagree. In our house, we monitor what the kids watch. There's a number of cartoons (chowder) that we don't allow them to watch because they are do visually or verbally suggestive. That is OUR problem to monitor the kids. The problem lies in the fact that despite our best efforts, we're not alway going to be there. I don't want to be way over protective, but he's just five. I don't want him hearing things while we're walking around in public that we find offensive.
not sure where I was going with all this, been interrupted so many times, I've lost my point. Sorry!
No, he won't have to sell his Nexus one because he's not saying that he has one. What he wants is the successor to the nexus one, which will still be a few months out, and by the time it IS out, google would have had a _working_ finger-based touch screen phone for 2 years.
But the poster made it sound like everyone and their uncle have scads of explosives just laying about in their sheds.
Uh, yeah. That would be correct. We see that as an extension of the 2nd amendment. You see, the second amendment is kinda unique. It's one of those recursive loop type things, like in programming. It gives us the ability to defend the 2nd amendment. The right to bear arms gives us the ability to defend our right to bear arms. It's like the chicken and egg backwards.
That's why I put "for free" in quotes... Yeah, it's considered the 'free phone' but you're going to pay for it regardless. But under almost all situations you would pay the same monthly even if you brought your own phone or you got their absolute cheapest piece of crap. Maybe you'd get out of a 2 year contract if your lucky.
But the iphone doesn't have a "for free" version. The best they have is $99, still not free but half what it was for the first 2 years.
Now, for full disclosure I have the FIRST iphone. It still runs the most current OS. I paid $$$ for mine, and it's jailbroken/unlocked. I am not/will not pay $30 for data. I'm not about to pay for internet access for the house, then again for my phone, and again for my wife, and again for an ipad...
I hope eventually I'll be able to pay a decent price for all of those things to have internet, but right now $30 each isn't it. Why would I want to sit on my couch with my wife and have 4 different ways to access the internet (and 4 Bills to pay for it)
Yes, and considering that many android devices are going for 'free', yet people still are willing to pay a pretty penny to get into an iphone, I don't think apple's loosing out too much here.
However, this is for freshmen level classes, tons of students, no individual instructions... sometimes just to weed people out. It may be too time consuming to pop quiz a lot of people in a low level class.
And maybe they're thinking that the material is so easy that anyone that shows up will get it... So lets make sure they show up, and forgo the testing.
Frankly, this is just an excuse to spend stimulus money.
all one has to do is walk into a classroom with 10 RFID-enabled cards in their pocket.
Not so easy...
Step 1. Threaten each student with expulsion if they try to defeat the system. Step 2. Install a turnstile to make sure people enter at the optimum rate (maybe not even necessary) Step 3. Set the scanner up to sound alarm and flash a light like it's walmart if it ever detects multiple cards at once. (thresholds adjustable)
Problem solved.
As a student, yes, I would hate that I would actually have to attend that class. Yes, I'm paying for it, so why shouldn't I come and go as I please.
And as a school, yes I have the responsibility to vouch that said student did actually come to the classes they claim they did when they show you that way overpriced framed piece of paper. Otherwise, I'm not better than some 2bit school selling degrees.
you mean because they are all capitalist? Yeah, you're right. They'd be run out as soon as it's found out they like making as much money as they can. Forget that they all give massive amounts to charity and provide jobs to massive amounts of people.
No, it decreases the profitability of the insurance companies because you can pay the goverment $700 to not but it, then when you finally DO need it you can pay for it then. Average yearly healthcare costs... $6400, Fine for not buying healthcare $700. Which do you think people will chose. How many people are now going to go out and cancel their insurance now? Yeah, a lot. Oh, and if you're low income (I think they set it to $80k, which where I live is NOT low income by ANY stretch) you don't even have to pay the $700.
Oh, and as far as keeping the insurance you have, not once the insurance start compensating for people with pre-existing conditions come in and fucking it up for everyone else.
Lets think about Auto insurance, maybe that's something we can agree on. Are you allowed to drive around all the time without insurance, and then once you get in a massive wreck run to an insurance company and buy insurance... Then once you've gotten all the bills paid off (doctors, lawyers, banks, etc) cancel your policy? WHO THE FUCK CAN MAKE MONEY LIKE THAT? NO ONE! BUT NOW THE HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE EXPECTED TO?!?!? WTF!!!!!!!!

Why does it have to be android? I read the summary, nowhere does it say android. Maybe moto already has a deal to license iOS.
Maybe the subject could read "Moto to make 2Ghz iOS phone by the end of the year" Someone's assuming it's android, aren't they?
Take "Android" out of title to be accurate. :p
Yeah I know... it's probably android. I'm just in a bad mood ;) And no way apple would license.
Can someone do the math and figure out if 65GB/month is even possible on, say a 1MB connection?
It's friday and I'm too tired to think about it.

Where to draw the line? I don't have an answer.

I have the kids loading the truck now. We'll get it on the boat ASAP and meet you there at dusk.
Wow, that was very interesting. Racist bunch of folks living there now... 100% white. How dare they.

Good point, popquiz should make this easy...

You mean they replaced him with a wiki? wow, what are we coming to?

yall shuddup, you're all new here
All I can say is, thanks for learning what's at the site, you just earned me a quarter. Have a nice day Portland.
I like that version :)
