That would be ok on a site with shitty ads but not all ads are shitty and to be honest, I rather support sites that are deserving of the support. I'd also like reputable companies to think they can get somewhere with web advertising so web adverts don't just become a breeding group for bottom feeders.
Just replying to myself with additional info.
If they searched for languages called Go they probably wouldn't have found that either seeing how his Wiki page only went up on the 11th.
I get tired of seeing or hearing about his shitty games and then to find out he's a unscrupulous douche bag...all I can say is I hope he gets beat hard. Preferably by a clown.
While Java does allow you to send things to the GC yourself. I can only think of having to do that a handful of times because I was dealing with shit loads of data. If you find yourself having to clean up often then you're either writing bad code or just don't understand the concept of working with garbage collection.
I dislike being forced to pay for children's education when I have no intention of having kids. I dislike the idea of paying for tv converter vouchers especially when TV isn't a necessary item, I never wanted my money going towards the joke that is the Iraq war and there are a whole load of other things I dislike my tax money going towards.
Motorists use roads and clog the roads. Therefore it's only natural that they contribute towards the solutions to clear the roads.
If you live in a congested area and the local government reduced traffic with public transportation then you benefit more than anyone else so why shouldn't you contribute?
This mentality that some people have that America is all about not paying taxes and you can have things without paying for them is laughable at best.
America done loads of "socialist" things over the decades. There's no need to get upset when you're asked to pay towards something that benefits you.
When the price of oil sky rockets because everyone thinks we're running out and then every person in the US that was so hell bent on fighting public transportation then shits a brick because it costs twice as much to get to work then there will be panic and rioting.
Instead, you keep it quiet as people are working on alternatives. People may not convert soon enough but they'll just expect a government handout, like with digital TV, to buy a new car and will likely get it.
It's parody, not slander, and your comments are rather hilarious considering we're talking about some Fox News douche. They're not exactly know for telling the truth and say more things that would be viewed as slanderous compared to that website.
To be fair Michelle Obama is just a wife and probably an air head. But what she isn't is loud mouth lying cunt. Generally when you act like a prick, people are quite happy to see karma shit all over you.
Glenn Beck is a two faced shit stirrer. Quite frankly should consider himself lucky. I'm waiting for the day when someone knocks the shit out of him. I'll masturbate to that news footage.
Seriously, you gotta be a real ass to do something like this to someone.
It's this sort of thing that will give governments an excuse to try and control the net even more and give companies a reason to close up their hardware and in the end most people end up with less freedom.
The net was nice before every tard was on it waiting to be exploited.
To be fair the police don't really have to do it on their own. The Internet Watch Foundation http://www.iwf.org.uk/ is pretty much dedicated to wiping the stuff off the net.
Perhaps the government can do something similar. In fact, use prosecuted pedos to hunt the stuff down while in prison. If it resides in another country then just get ISPs blocking it. There is still proxies but you'll never get rid it completely but if you make it nearly impossible get then that's a good start.
People download porn and pay for hookers so why would this stop them from abusing real children? Legalising child porn legitimises child abuse, imo, and makes it more likely that people will do something to children.
Now maybe if the punishment for child abuse was something extreme, like death then yeah maybe. What's done is done so I could see leaving them to play with the pictures they have and if they take it beyond that then wipe them off the planet.
I'd agree that airbags aren't that helpful. That was my point (though I probably cocked it up) that airbags aren't that helpful and yet we have to effectively pay for them now no matter what.
Airbags aren't that helpful for people some people, like short people and yet they're stuck with them.
An electrician will charge you more to do anything. For companies to to switch plugs the cost has to be fairly minimal. I don't believe for a second Lenovo pays anywhere near what I do for country specific plug adapters for my laptop.
I worked for a company that made hygrometers and similar equipment. They had to stock UK, Euro and US leads. I definitely don't recall there being any real difference in cost. It's all about the volumes you buy in and if the UK plug is the most expensive and everyone switched to that, the price would drop. Making plugs for 70 million people vs 6.7 billion has to make a difference.
The genius of the British plug isn't just about making it so it doesn't fall out.
It does in fact imply that some problems are down to the design of the US plug. Some aren't even grounded let alone have a fuse in them.
I agree that the risk of being shocked from a plug being half out are nearly nil but at the same time I have knocked a fair few plugs out. What often happens if the prongs end up bent. It's just a shit design.
You would be more likely to have the wire going into the plug coming loose and exposing wires. This is beause US plugs are generally thinner and weaker where the wire goes in and often the wire is extending out the side so it has the weight of the cord pulling on it. British plugs have the wire coming out the bottom with no weight pulling it in a way it shouldn't be.
I find the cost argument flawed. The cost difference is minimal compared to the additional safety features especially when compared to something like an airbag which is expensive and not even safe for everyone. Yet they're required.
As far as governmental costs, I rather pay for a few cord inspectors than to pay for the DHS saving me from terrorists.
If you were talking about a cost difference of $100 or maybe even $10, I'd understand it but to put savings over safety for pennies or even a couple dollars is just stupid.
According to that electrical problems cause 67,800 fires, 485 deaths, and $868 million in property losses.
As it points out most of the problems come from wiring, not the actual devices. Perhaps shorts wouldn't be as much of a problem if cords had things, like fuses in them.
I know a lot of people are talking shit and saying they don't know anyone that has died from an electrical death which is a flawed argument and yes I do see the official stats do say that actually not too many people die.
However there is still a shit load of damage and quite frankly I do have things I don't want to lose in a fire. I also don't want my insurance to sky rocket so yeah to be quite honest, I think paying out a couple dollars more would be worth it whether or not I'm likely to die from a cheaper plug.
You say that but I was going to be a journalist purely for the low pay. Then I realised I could be up to my elbows in shit and get low pay by cleaning public toilets and that's how I got where I am today.

They did not copy any other than the name. His language is nothing like theirs.
Yeah because MS would admit to that and it's not like there hasn't been any talk about Vista looking like OSX.
Win 7 is Vista 2.0 and now that more than 30 people are effectively using Vista now it's no surprise the OSX comments are making a come back.

I thought the same thing and pursued her only to find out the her is a he. I became the 2nd person to throw chairs at MS.
Using the "I only count the bits I want them to release the source to" metric is also a shit way to gauge their contribution to open source.
He needs to get off his handicap high horse.
Being handicapped sucks, I'm sure of that but you can't go around trying to get everything modified to work with your gimp ass.
The only reason to get rid of dedicated servers is to kill the community when you want and force people to move on your next game.

I do recall a time before the internet. It wasn't much fun. Trolling could lead to being hit hard.

God forbid safety comes before savings.
A few bugs is better than a load of viruses, imo.
