I recognized, when I wrote it, that it could be construed as the same type of manipulation that evolutionists, global warming prophets, and emperor's new tailors used -- "If you disagree with me, it's because you're a coward" wasn't the intention of the line. The intention was more "Cowards will X, whereas non-cowards may or may not X, because it's easier to X than not to." Simply criticizing because you don't like the state of things, but have your head too deep in the sand to consider the consequential alternatives is not constructive. It is cowardice. Criticizing is one thing; backbiting and inconsiderate second-guessing are another.
staying in Afghanistan and Iraq keeps the war in Afghanistan and Iraq
This is wrong as it ignores all the other factors involved in the equation
People that aren't me tend to disagree with you I hope this doesn't fly over your head but: The war against Iraq is over. It was victorious. The war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan ARE against the same types of people as the ones who caused 9/11. The vaccuum has been filled with crazy extremists who have perverted their faiths enough to say it can satiate their own lust for blood and power. The battles are not against state militaries and governments, but against people who intentionally kill civilians to get their way. If these men were non-aggressive, there would be no US soldiers in Iraq. There wouldn't have to be. However, they are still flooding into Iraq from other nations, blowing up civilians, and keeping things messed up and bloody. Maybe we should just let them slaughter enough Iraqis until they get their way? I'm sure it's better than what America has planned, right?
But hey, don't let reality get in the way of your pride. Keep hating!
Tell me, what are the intentions of the people who those drones are targetting? How many innocents have those men killed this year? How many weddings, funerals, markets, and religious services have they bombed in service to their god of hate and blood? The patriotism of Americans is small potatoes compared to the fervor of these extremists. It's even smaller potatoes compared to =any= country's imperialism over 70 years ago.
The modern state of the US is easy for cowards to criticize. They don't realize that staying in Afghanistan and Iraq keeps the war in Afghanistan and Iraq -- and SURPRISE, Americans would prefer Iraqis, Pakistanis, and Afghanistanis to die to these insane fiends than American civilians -- but we're also risking American soldiers to die in the place of these people. If any other country, 150 years ago, had the power that America has now, the entire middle east would be a glass parking lot. It isn't, because America has far more compassion in its short history than those bloodthirsty, "progressive" European states ever had until their militaries were completely destroyed in the first half of the last century. So we have soldiers on the ground with rifles, and remote-controlled drones, because we can guide their missiles more accurately than just dropping a few million bombs on the unstable regions.
You probably can't figure that out, though, because you got some "America Sucks, GRRR! Every other country in the world has good intentions until America comes along and try to kill their leaders!" in your eye. You're ignoring 6,000 years of history and human nature to make your blind-eyed claims against one of the gentlest giants to ever sit on the Earth.
Watching the computer make 23 3-point shots in a row in one game, and then watching star runningbacks fumble every carry and star quarterbacks throw an interception every throw in another, just because you're 20 points ahead, makes a game aggravating, not fun. It doesn't increase the sense of accomplishment when you squeak by mediocre competition. Your sense of accomplishment comes from demolishing mediocre competition, and then toughing it against the tough.
Players who seek difficult gameplay want it to be difficult, not cheap. If they do nothing wrong, then they shouldn't be punished. They should be rewarded. Otherwise, they'll end up running outside with a kitchen knife and stabbing people.
I would imagine that the average FOSS developer would probably get a short high on the idea that some chick who calls herself "SexyAngel69" added a line of code to his project. He'd probably sit back in his chair, close his eyes and say: "It's almost like she just had sex with me" and then tell his WoW guild he thinks he just DING!'d IRL.
Cover letter is basically an explanation of why they should hire you. It doesn't need to wade through the dates, reference information, and bullet points of a resume. It tends to revolve more around motivation and less around sterile data. It's simplest form is just to answer the three questions: Why I want to be hired by your company. What I can offer you. What I expect you to offer me in return.
This. I'm not the HR of my company, but my job includes reviewing all resumes submitted for the people who will be working under me. If I asked you in for an interview because your resume showed me that you might not be a complete knucklehead, and you tell me that the agency who sent in your resume completely fabbed it up, you still have 2 minutes to explain to me why you're not a complete knucklehead.
Basically, you've substituted the list of skills on your resume with a single relevant skill: Honesty.
It's up to you, in the interview, to very quickly tell me what relevant skills you DO have and why I shouldn't waste my time listening to you any further. If you can do that, your false resume doesn't preclude you from the job. I'd rather have an honest person with a remotely relevant skillset and a bad resume than an idiot with an impressive resume. That's why most businesses won't even look past the coverletters anymore, because resumes are typically crap.
Also, as a personal note: Lighten up. Have fun with your resume and don't follow the exact rules and formats of everyone else. Keep it concise and to the point (I don't want to be bored while reading it), but also include something that will make it stand out and be memorable -- like printing it on the blank back of a page from a dinosaur coloring book. People think that HR's are robots who want to trash anything that looks individual or informal. They're humans with senses of humor, and something that will brighten their day will tend to come back and brighten yours. After I helped my wife with her resume, the next job she applied for (a bank, of all places) not only hired her, but asked if they could frame the resume on the wall.
To save us from the war against the nation of Warming and its attempted global conquest? A peace prize, really? Screw the people who actually promote peace and settle conflict, it's someone who speaks on shifty scientological rhetoric, fear mongers, and presents a politically polarizing presentation on perishing poles that receives the prize. You're right, it wasn't science that he won it for, since they haven't even scientifically proven that CO2 causes any greenhouse effect (even if it does, its influence is statistically negligable, so much so that the strong positive correlation between CO2 and warming are practically proof that it's NOT cause of global warming, but the warming is the cause of CO2!)
I wonder if I can get a peace prize for ignoring all the hate, violence, genocide going on in the world, selling weapons technology that can only be used against the US to foreign nations, and then telling the civilized nations they'd better buy, in gross surplus, from companies I have stock in, or the penguins and polar bears will be the first to go!
Actually, if that's all I need to do, I don't really want one.
Eolas is not the bad guy here, they're just doing what is legally possible. You can't condemn a company for following the law, just because it seems wrong.
The problem obviously is the patent law. I have no idea if the US is willing to change that, but if they do, it will be the end of shit like Eolas is pulling right now as well.
Law corrupters are worse than law breakers. It's their slimey, vile ilk that cause tax law to be unreadable, because "12% of your income" is too difficult a concept for them to be honest about. They ignore the part about "Congress shall have power... to promote the progress of science and useful arts" and move directly to "securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries" -- which this tripe didn't actually invent, they just thought it up!
They are technological stumbling blocks and stiflers, looking to make a buck, not promote progress, off of the patent system. They should go to jail for extortion and theft of +$500m and so should the judge that awarded it, for conspiracy. A judge should look at the patent case, say "Your argument does not promote the progress of science and useful arts, therefore, by nature of my office and the oath I've sworn an oath to agree with the constitution, so therefore, I cannot allow this bullsh*t to stain an American courtroom" and throw the case out.
It's not slower to write in print than in cursive -- the difference between the two lies in how much pressure you're applying to the paper. You don't have to lift the pencil off the paper, twirl it around, put it behind your ear, erase any lines connecting letters, measure an exact eighth of a millimeter and then start on the next letter in order to write in print (at least in America, the home of the brave). You simply don't press hard enough to make the line connect the letters. It's like saying it takes longer to read a digital watch than an analog, because there are 4 numbers to look at instead of just 2 hands.
Use the tinfoil for something else, today. The military knows it's a thousand million times cheaper and easier to use actual intelligence instead of artificial intelligence. Instead of spending half a trillion on a computer in order to make it think, they'll give some guy a $25,000 scholarship to sit in front of it and do the decision making for it.
Anger is an aphrodesiac. The Malware companies have been seducing Microsoft for all this time, and now Microsoft has finally broken the ice. It's tsundere approach only quickens the heartbeat of the malware companies. Once Microsoft has them in court, the judge is throwing the book at them, the Malware companies will look up to Microsoft and say "You have me where you want me, now what do you want to do with me?"
At which point, Microsoft will smile, the fade of anger will reveal the flush of lust behind it. From the conjoining of these two, sweaty bodies of software production will emerge the glow of new life -- Microsoft Windows Lovechild.
The spawn of Microsoft and Malware will install itself upon any computer it comes in contact with. Lovechild (or MWL for short) will ask the user "You really want this installed on your system don't you?" If you type "N" it changes the background color to an alluring pink and says "Sometimes, when a user is scared, when they say 'no' they mean 'yes'" and then it proceeds to install itself upon your system.
No no no... your car IS you... but much like your journal, sometimes you can write a little fiction to keep things interesting. For example:
1. Discover hidden GPS tracker on car
2. Drive to orphanage, tell them a friend of yours is interested in picking up a lot of young girls and taking them to his large mansion where he'll keep them safe.
3. Drive to seedy area of town where "working girls" are located. Park for 2 minutes.
4. Drive to governor's mansion and ditch car for the night, pick it up in the morning.
5. Get busted.
6. Watch governor attempt to explain to "crazy allegations." brought to him by the DA or a scrappy cub reporter trying to make a name for himself.
Or for a simpler laugh:
1. Discover hidden GPS tracker on car
2. Put tracker in wallet for the day. Go inside banks, malls, stores, work, etc.
3. Reattach to car, where it was hidden.
Just as the honey-delicious manna from heaven eventually tasted like stale dust to the Israelies who had nothing but manna to eat, an awe-inspiring sound will eventually turn into pure noise without variety. Any violinist worth their resin can tell the difference between a $200 violin and a $200,000 violin -- and to them, the $200,000 violin has a sweet, full resonant tone to it. To someone who hates listening to his sister practice violin for 2 hours a day, a $200,000 violin sounds like a dopier at low notes, screetchier at high notes than the crappy one his sibling plays.
It's like telling the difference between the engine noise of a honda civic with new intake/headers/exhaust and a Koenigsegg CCX. To someone who doesn't care about cars, they're both engines. To a car enthusiast, to hear one is a practically orgasmic experience while the other is cheap. This difference is based on expectation and knowledge of what the two different cars' reputations and capabilities are.
What happens when the radiation mutates the bacteria? Single-celled organisms mutate very easily, and we could easily have a serious problem on our hands if the bacteria turn into something that is dangerous to us and then multiply out of control.
Scientists already know that whenever this happens, Godzilla awakens from his slumber, tussles with the creature, eventually righting mankind's wrongs through violence, and then torches part of Tokyo before returning peacefully to the sea for another year. I don't know what you're so worried about.
Cops want one thing, most of all, when approaching a situation: To get home tonight, safely. If you go threatening them or their family, you're attacking this hope. If you give them reason to believe you're holding the capacity to catch them offguard or blindside them, you're attacking this hope. That's why when you get pulled over for speeding, you put your hands on top of your steering wheel where the cop can see them. When the boys in blue (not IBM) come knocking at your door, you be the one to make them see the situation is safe. You do not need to surrender any rights in order to do this, you simply need to accomodate them as human beings. If they realize that you're under control, they're under control, and it's someone else steering things toward danger, they will attempt to eliminate that threat by throwing the book at that person.
There are too many cops who view their badge as a sign of power and want to remind you about that. You don't have to show them subservience, but don't engage them in chest thumping or they'll see to it that you lose. If nothing else, if they're doing something wrong, report them immediately after the altercation to your district attorney. My friend caused several crooked cops to lose their jobs and their ability to ever be cops again in his state after they cuffed him and sexually harassed his girlfriend. He called a retired police chief, who showed up in street clothes. The ex-chief eavesdropped on the cops talking to the girl, approached the cops, asked them what the two had done, and they told him to get lost or they'll cuff him. He reported them to the DA, and that was the end of their careers in law enforcement.
It has never occurred to me I'd want to be sure those videos were made by a hand held camera, not one mounted on an unmanned submersible. I certainly can't see why I'd pay hundreds of times as much for the DVD on that basis.
We're not talking about the bionics of the photographer, we're talking about the difference between going there yourself or viewing it through a tv screen. It probably won't be you strapped to a rocket, headed to the iron planet, but it will be a human. The difference of his experience, and the knowledge gained in going there vs. the experience viewed through a mobile webcam is immeasurable important -- and the technology that will have to be designed in order to blast him safely there comes home to affect human life.

The downtime lasted 30 minutes, and most domains were probably cached by nameservers anyway.
I didn't notice the DNS freak out, but I did notice the internet's smug meter had dropped about 30%.
