Sorry, but you're illiterate. You obviously missed the "small" bit there. I'd have opened that door for the same size teen age boy. I'd have opened that door for any child. I'd have opened that door for a man who didn't appear to be big and strong enough to have opened it. I'd have opened it for an aged person, of either sex. I'd have opened that door for a male or a female who was carrying a load of (children, baggage, papers, choose your poison). IN FACT - I'd have opened that door for a fully grown, healthy, adult man, if he first attempted to open it, and had difficulty with it.
Any man worthy of being called a man would have opened that door for ANYONE who appeared to be incapable of doing so for themselves.
As it turned out, I judged that person's ability to open that door accurately. She proved herself incapable of doing so.
And, that makes me a sexist?
You're so full of shit, your eyes are turning brown.
Are you implying that you are a black lesbian in a position of power? That's cool. And, you're close - I'm mostly white, I'm heterosexual, I'm male, and my education is better than some people ever get. Whiny? I suspect that anything you disagree with would be considered "whining". Well-paid? Hardly. I work hard for a living, and only get little more than half what I'm worth. Fuckbag? Well - I don't know about that one. I have fucked a couple of old bags in my life. I'm not certain though if any of them were black lesbians or not. Maybe you're implying that we have met somewhere?
You seem to miss the point. My issue here, and Assange's issue here, are that he was set up, and entrapped by someone with an agenda. Do I have a problem with women making the first move? No. Do I have a problem with women demanding respect? No. Do I have a problem with women who enjoy sex, and demand respect at the same time? Absolutely not.
There IS an issue when a woman sets out to lure a man into her bed, especially a high profile and/or rich and/or influential man, then makes some kind of silly complaint like they have done.
*YAWN*
"Hey, honey, I had a great time last night! Wanna go again? Oh, damn, I don't have another condom!"
"Don't worry about it, Big Boy, come here!"
Days later, she complains that he boned her without a condom? Let's get real here. It isn't "misconduct" unless she resisted or objected to the act.
Perhaps you have never met a real life feminazi type. This is only an anecdote, so you need not pay it any mind, but here goes.
I stopped at a truckstop with a restaurant in Nevada. The weather was pretty ugly, lots of wind and rain squalls followed by snow squalls. Just plain cold and ugly.
The restaurant was equipped with an outer door, and an inner door, kinda like an air lock. It enables a person to open a door without much wind resistance, go inside, allow the outer door to close, then open the inner door. But, the outer door was damaged and tied open, meaning you had to open the inner door against the wind pressure.
While I was sitting at the counter, a car pulled up in front of the restaurant. California tags, was the first thing I noticed. The second thing I noticed, was that the driver was a female, and that she was small. Almost but not quite petite. I also noticed that she was pretty good looking. So - what would any man worthy of being called a man do?
That's right, I got up off my dead butt, walked fifteen feet to the door, and opened it for her as she approached the door.
I listened to her scolding for all of about twenty seconds, took my weight off of the door handle, leaned back, and allowed the wind to slam that door closed.
I turned around, and announced to the half-dozen men in the restaurant that the women's libber outside didn't want or need any man to open a door for her, and they all busted out laughing.
And, we all laughed even harder when the little bitty thing struggled to open that door, and couldn't do it.
No feminazis, you say? Rare, you say? I'll grant that they aren't all as outspoken and rude as that little lady from California, but they are out there. I don't meet them every day, or even every week, but I do meet them.
Ahhhh, yes. My son and I went to a neighboring town to look a motorcycle. He brought his GPS along. Almost at our destination, the silly thing insisted I make a right hand turn. It WAS the "most direct" route to where we were going. There was a road right there. But, that right hand turn would have hurt, seriously.
The city had closed that road, and erected a guard rail across the end of the road, as well as digging up about 20 feet of the pavement. The only traffic the city wanted on that road, were the six families that lived on the road.
I clicked your link. Zoomed out a little. Highway 100 is only a mile away. Highway 48 twice as far. The municipal airport is just on the other side of Highway 48. A healthy man can walk to the airport in less than an hour, an unhealthy man can do it in a couple hours. That is hardly "secluded", nor am I aware of any special hazards that a buy might meet in those woods.
I disagree. There really isn't much of any of those states that is "out back". When was the last time you drove the speed limit for two or three hours, and didn't see a house, a service station, or any other sign of civilization? Someone once told me that they could get me lost in Arkansas. I agreed to blindfolded, and to sit in the back seat while I was driven to a secluded spot. That individual thought she had done a great job of getting me lost.
When I stepped out of the car, I could hear traffic rumbling a couple miles away, through the woods.
Lost? A short walk put me on a tertiary road, and fifteen minutes had me sitting at a gas station, sipping a Coca-Cola.
Actually - I'd have to say that buying Apple, or any other GPS, to SUPPLEMENT good maps and proper research would indeed be a good survival trait.
In my own years of travel, there have been times that my pre-trip research was inadequate. Having a GPS along after having done all that research would likely have saved me some grief, here and there. It is exceedingly easy to simply miss a turn on a dark stormy night. Or, a poorly lit foggy day. Or, when there are just to damned many fools on the road trying hard to kill you. Or - well, you get the idea, I'm sure.
Kinda like Wyoming, or North Dakota, or even British Columbia?
I'm a member of a forum, where a couple Canadians regularly contribute photo-documentaries of their trips. It's beautiful as can be, but the roads can be very primitive in BC.
Nonsense. People are responsible for ensuring that an app is suitable for their intended purposes. Neither the author nor the publisher can prophesy how ten million people might use an application improperly. They can be assured, however, that fools will come to rely on them, when they shouldn't.
You sound pretty smart. Next question - were you prepared for something unexpected? I mean - you had some food and drink in the vehicle with you? Maybe a spare can of fuel? Any necessary medications? Possibly some tools, a spare tire, stuff like that? You were prepared to meet the most likely emergency conditions that happen while traveling?
If you answer "yes" to all of those, then you get a salute from me!
There seems to be a theme developing in the latter posts, to the effect, "If you live in a potentially dangerous area, you should double check your routing and your supplies."
The theme is lacking. I would say, "No matter where you are, you're a fool to trust a computer to get you anywhere."
ALWAYS have an alternative plan. Always know for sure where you're going. Never trust either the hardware or the software. If you've not driven the route before, first talk to people who have, then look at a dead tree map published by a reputable publisher such as Rand McNally. (No, I have no idea what publisher in Australia is reputable, but Australian truck drivers certainly do!) THEN, and ONLY THEN, do you rely on your GPS for your turn-by-turn directions, while checking the dead tree map occasionally.
I'm a US citizen, and I both understand and agree with your position. Women have been kicked, spit on, shat on, slapped around, taken for granted, denied human rights, bought and sold and given away since time immemorial. They need to stand up for themselves. But - feminazis are no better than the swine that real feminists are fighting against.
The same argument applies to downtrodden races whose members suddenly want to see all white men put to death. They are the same bigots that their races are fighting against.
Bar floozies. Both of these whores put the move on Julian, both seduced him, then both accused him of "misconduct". Whores. Bitches. Low life cunts. Sluts. How many synonyms do you need, to get the idea?
Respected feminists? FFS, there are other people who worship lowlife drug addicted pedophiles such as Michael Jackson. Respected? We should be impressed that someone is respected? The question is, "Respected by whom?"
Toss both of those cum guzzling gutter sluts back into the ditches where they were found.
In China crushers are high tech. I guess it's reasonable that someone from China posts adverts for crushers and vibrators on slashdot. Only 50 years ago, EVERYTHING in China was done by hand! (well, except for getting pregnant, maybe, but we can't be to sure of that)
What is interesting, to me, is the fact that charges of fraud and hacking seem to be handled in much the same way that treason and leaking state secrets are dealt with. In the case of treason, I can go a long way toward justifying solitary confinement, especially when the suspect has shown some possibly suicidal tendencies. In the case of mere fraud - no way. And, the suspect is far from suicidal, removing that little justification for close monitoring. More, there is no mention of solitary for his own protection, as was mentioned with Manning.
Tell me again which judicial system is more corrupt.
Faux Noise leads the way in divisiveness in this country. Some dirtbag who was chased out of Australia somehow managed to purchase news media in both the UK and the US, so that he could brainwash masses of zombies into attacking their fellow countrymen. Rupert Murdoch should be executed, along with his top henchmen here and in the UK. Hang them from the Verrazanos Narrows bridge, and let their bodies rot in the air.
Let them serve as an example for all the liberals on the OTHER networks who are happy to promote the divisiveness. They are only little better. Maybe we should hang Hearst and the Turners beside Murdoch, just to be sure everyone gets the message.
Perhaps you should do a bit of research on some of the most charismatic leaders in recent history. Maybe you could start with Stalin, or Hitler.
There is almost zero danger of RMS becoming a powerful world-class leader, either good or bad, but he is no worse than some of the leaders whose names became household words in their own lifetimes. It would be interesting if we could resurrect some of those leaders, and get them all together in the same padded room with RMS.
Well - initially it would be interesting. After a few hours, most rational men and women would grow bored and/or sickened, and wander off to leave the shrinks study them.
You, Sir, have the "consumer" mentality. Wasteful frivolity is the order of the day. Corporate chiefs and demons dance in glee, to see that you are so thoroughly indoctrinated. Go, Sir, and buy a dozen more useless trashy pieces of shit, so that corporate profits may increase.
Why don't you run down to your local electronics outlet. Or, Newegg, if you prefer. Grab one of the newer Netgear routers. Bring it home, and flash it with a generic Tomato firmware. Then, flash it again, with Toastman's flavored Tomato. In the startup scripts, you can tell the router to download an adblocking list, at boot up, then every xxx number of hours afterward.
I use a lot of Google services. But, google's tracking servers are blocked. Google's adservers are blocked. I almost never see adverts, unless they are hosted on the site that I am visiting.
Of course, if you're sophisticated enough to know that Google is tracking you, and how they are tracking you - then you already knew how to block it, right?
UNLESS, of course, you're just parroting something you read somewhere.
As for the patents - I can't get terribly excited that Google is building up a portfolio. Every large corporation in the business has it's portfolio. And, every large corporation in the business uses, or threatens to use, their portfolio to put other corporations out of business. Others have defended Google and/or other corporations in the past for maintaining "defensive portfolios". There's really nothing to see here, people. Take a look, and move along - there are much more exciting attractions down the street.
Hey - lay off the chicken entrails! You shouldn't knock it til you've tried it! While Mama Voodoo is reading those entrails, we can get her daughter to whip up some chicken and dumplings. I see a win-win thing with those entrails.
The stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming. Apple has made most of it's billions by utilizing slave labor in third world countries. Suddenly, they are worried about American jobs? The few jobs they are moving to America are nothing more than a publicity gambit, IMHO.
If I had a few tens of thousands of people employed directly or indirectly, and I decided to move several hundreds of those jobs to the United States, the total impact on anyone's economy would be negligible. And, the cost to me would have little impact. I would still have almost all my work performed by slave labor in third world countries.
How about they just invalidate about 90% of the patents granted in the past 30 years. And, take ALL of that 90% from the computer technology industry. So much of it is prior art, or obvious based on prior art. So much more is just frivolous nonsense.
Most definitely invalidate all software patents, and methods that depend on software. Patents should only apply to tangible items, everything else is copyrightable, unless specifically excluded from copyright protection.
