We all know if you count your 'visits' by the day it seems to have big implications. But lets be realistic here. We all know you only visit for between 2-5 minutes.
Erring on the high side... 5 x 331 = 1655 minutes = 27.6 hours. And if we consider it work days, (about 8 hours), then that's actually hardly over 3 days.
Exaggerate much? Oh, but we wanted the headlines so so bad; we had to make it look big! (sarcasm) ----------
And right now, somewhere, people are reading this and frowining-- all the while having recently masturbated at work. Yes, everyone's shit still stinks. Yes, we all tug it. I wonder how much human time has been wasted worrying about this petty garble; consider the average time it takes to read and the average number of slashdot headline readers and I bet we're well over 27.6 hours!
"Ahmadinejad was quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini in the specific speech under discussion: what he said was that "the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time." No state action is envisaged in this lament; it denotes a spiritual wish, whereas the erroneous translationâ""wipe Israel off the map"â"suggests a military threat. There is a huge chasm between the correct and the incorrect translations. The notion that Iran can "wipe out" U.S.-backed, nuclear-armed Israel is ludicrous"
1) I have no doubt in my mind that Israel has made threats of the same calibre. I'm not gonna go dig through 1.8 million suggestions to find it.
2) You should make an effort to look into the more literal translation to the speech you're talking about. It is widely known that the speech was loosely interpreted to raise public concern, while a more literal translation of the speech was along the lines of "Israel's present leadership needs to go". I hope you know that you are at the whims of the people you trust to translate here and that you would make every effort you can to make sure the facts are known for the facts they are --- before holding such a hateful view of what you perceive to be an extremely evil country. If I were you, I'd go look up that literal translation right now so I could know for sure if all these quotes on Fox News are actually real or not.
I understand when a person will not be reasonable; and in that case, the police are obliged to carry out their function and right the wrongs.
But in my experience, many of the times it is more an event of superior vs inferior, not a conversation of two people (one of which is interested in upholding the law if necessary). There is no room for discussion; there is nothing to explain, unless its the answer they already wanted; and by all means the citizen must at least physically act like a whipped slave else be whipped (by that I mean you cannot function like a normal comfortable person, you stand or sit as asked, try getting out of your car and walking to the police cruiser when you're pulled over. I dare you.).
I don't want to be approached like a potential maniac. And I don't need adrenaline junkie policemen trying to escalate things by being disrespectful to my rights as a citizen and human being.
I want the officer who thinks I did something illegal to initiate a conversation with me so we can figure things out like two students working on the same project. Like the brothers that we all are as civil human beings on this earth.
worth watching. not slow news at all. matter of fact, its much cooler than another 'lets toot the linux/FOSS horn' and the 'F to the RIAA' pitter patter that constantly resounds here.
I like the idea of talking and communication on the grounds of MUTUAL RESPECT. One thing the police do not have is respect; by that I mean respect for each citizen as peaceful and of sane character. Instead it is respect for the unknown -- respect for their fears of the past, the criminals they have encountered.
So in caution of fear for what we *could* be, we are not respected as calm and reasonable. We deserve better.
dude, the PS3 fulfills all of those things on your list minus 2 things:
1: the point-at-screen controller (but there is one coming out next spring).
2: the web-browser. ------------------
Nearly every game I have for the PS3 is multiplayer and plays awesome. If you're having a hard time, find an online store that sorts titles by type and look for multiplayer. The games exist, you're just not making an effort. I correlate that point by the fact that you say you can't find a steering wheel or racing game with split screen! WTF! The PS3 supports tons of steering wheels. Check logitech. Secondly, both motorstorms and GT5:prologue play in split screen. I know this becasue I own those games and play them, and all 3 have multiplayer (to support my prior counterargument). I play online with friends all the time... you're just making that shit up.
You're seriously just not making an effort to use your PS3 is all man. It really does satisfy nearly all of your list there but you're pleading ignorance against reality.
There is a BIG difference between reality and your example.
In this case Alex and Bob were never two independent entities that fused; furthermore, the deliberate purpose of Bob is to evade taxes and was produced from Alex exactly for that purpose. Bob is not a separate company, Bob is actually Alex's mouth and hands, but physically relocated a thousand miles away...
Your analogy is totally unrepresentative of the situation. The situation is more akin to shuffling money into untracked foreign accounts so as to avoid due taxation. In this case the 'money' is 'product' (which has monetary value). The product is moved to evade taxation, deliberately.
We're talking about a company purposefully evading due taxation by law. The state they decide to 'get away with it' in has nothing to do with 'accomplice' or whatnot. The state, lets say Nevada, has no part in the purposeful deception going on. Nevada has their own rules and its not the states fault for assuming a business is honest.
Blatant exploits and obviously deliberate attempts to sidestep our systems in place is a slap in the face of every other business and taxpayer that obeys our laws.
I think the repercussions should be more serious than a fine or retaking of tax dollars. There's a difference between accidentally or ignorantly not paying your share like everyone else in the system; and deliberately making sure you don't.
Don't just shake them down for cash; get justice. If I stole or snuck away from my people's government *millions of dollars*; I would be in prison. If we will treat corporations like persons but there is no person to hold accountable, we need to produce specific laws or definitions to translate the punishments a person would receive to the punishments the corporation ought receive. The wrongs of corporations are not fixable with checks and balances like justice and laws the rest of us can be subject to.
f all photographs are labeled, then the label becomes meaningless.
not necessarily, i think there are enough people around not knowing that photo's can be tampered with.
Yep. They get scammed from nigerians and they are the reason late-nite tv advertisements still sell those janky products. Old people come from an era of trust and developed vision and hearing issues before the current era of greed/deception swooped in.
It might be a little annoying reading a porn magazine which has the text "'the photo was altered in order to modify the appearance of a person." thrown all over it.
But does this apply to persons only? I hope we'd finally get to know the truth about McDonalds hamburgers. Or can we count them as persons?
If you're distracted by a small phrase in the corner of the picture, you're not really using the porno mag for what its worth.
Look at those tits! (plz don't hate me for blunt honesty)
Some people commit heinous acts for the thrill of it. Robert Hansen of the FBI always wanted to be a spy; in time he ended up working for the FBI but to fulfill his long held fantasies he spied against the US for the Russians.
what he said was "you don't get to choose or place priority over anything. you don't. you provide connectivity and that's it. provide, sell, do what you must as a competitive capitalizing market. just know that you're gonna foster the communications of peoples and you have no interest in evaluation of its content by any means.
Its like running a toll booth and not caring what cars go through because its not your job. At least, not anymore;)
... is sick of frikking talking about this. It has so many replies and when you look at them the overwhelming consensus is this:
1) I don't give a crap about cursive 2) I don't use it, I don't need it 3) This discussion is pointless -------------
People are ranting and raving about it, not because it is controversial by any means at all, but rather because of the sheer fact that its being talked about in the first place.
LETS JUST STOP ACKNOWLEDGING THIS GARBAGE AS "NERD NEWS" --- and discard it for what it is "old useless relics that should be ignored".

FIX YOUR FACTS.
2 things you're missing here.
1) I have no doubt in my mind that Israel has made threats of the same calibre. I'm not gonna go dig through 1.8 million suggestions to find it.

thats strange... I just googled "israel threatens iran" and got 1.8 million results.
I guess you're a liar, or just good at ignoring reality.

over 300 now..
and what when the police do it?
7/1000 tazes results in death according to some stats I remember seeing a couple years ago.
apparently our law enforcement is nearly immune to the law.
Personally, i'm sick and tired of seeing our 'law enforcers' escalating their war against us civilians.
GT5:P does split screen too.

exactly... who really cares. I don't think anyone misses it (yes, i mean 99/100 of us... that strange guy in the corner misses it, boo hoo.)
Better yet, lets talk about your original point: attacking the promotion of using bikes.
Then you divert to 'ignorant hippies'.
How about admitting you're an asshole and we move on from there?
Yeah... you're so right. fuck bikes.
I'm so glad you've proven yourself. :rolleyes:
If you don't believe the science, go reproduce it you lazy fuck. Oh, right, you won't even ride a bike. I shouldn't expect much out of you.
