Perhaps he has, but depending on the severity of his college mistake, he could find it hard to ever get another job again. Thanks to the internet's ability to never forget, he's doomed to be repeatedly punished for something he may have already paid for.
There's a huge benifit to streaming if you don't actually want to pay for the music you are testing out. I find my music through blogs and podcasts. I then tend to take the songs I like on there, and head to Lala, which allows me to listen to the full cd once (streaming). If I like the CD, I'll buy it. If I'm not sure, I usually end up on the band's myspace page, or any other page where I can listen to the songs more than once to decide. If I had to buy and rip a cd every time I found a single I liked, I'd be broke.
I'm really going to destroy my karma here, but I think that diagram isn't correct. I would argue that personal faith is almost identical to the path of the science in the diagram. There are those of us out there who hold beliefs but aren't afraid that our beliefs might be changed by what evidence we are presented with. Faith will always be there for the things we do not have the tools to understand. Whether or not you apply a god to it doesn't matter, because in the end, past what our science is able to tell us, everything comes down to a belief.
The problem with faith is when it becomes blind faith. Some people think what they've found is the be all end all and refuse to search anymore. It's not specific to the religious either. If you notice, there are "science" folk in here mocking this new theory because it contradicts the old one. Think about this next time you want to take a swing at someone who holds faith.
I would argue that musicians work for whatever they want to work for. Some do it for the prestige, some do it for the money, some do it just for the sake of making music. They don't work for the public, they may only attempt to please the public. They may work for a label that's controlling or for one that allows creative freedom, again, it's not for the public.
And as for the rant on corperate america, there are music companies in other countries that exist solely for profit, and there are companies in america that aim to allow creative freedom.
please educate yourself before you start with the broad statements again.
this will be marked redundant but I completely agree. I was under the (possibly naive) assumption that the job of the news was to inform the public, not to be informed by it.
a couple of key facts:
2,000 people are involved in landmine accidents every month - one victim every 20 minutes. Around 800 of these will die, the rest will be maimed.
One deminer is killed and two are injured for every 5,000 mines cleared.
you can say i'm ignoring what you're saying about well planned and well maintained minefields, but you decided to ignore "shitty" armies in your calculations, and I feel that 24,000 casualties a year at least warrents some consideration.
I know you're trying to be funny, but traveling at the speed of light, he'd only be going for about 10-20 minutes.
This is, of course, unless you wanted to take a side trip to alpha century and turn the ship around when bickering happens about 1/4 of the way there.
I find it interesting that they intend to sell it to architects. The case design is clutered and littered with ornamental additions. the reveals on the flat side take away from the clean plane they attempted to create. Modern architecture and design is about simple, elegant beauty. This case is overly elaborate and the added details do nothing to enhance the function.
For the record, IAA.
that's not a non-cutting edge user, that's just someone who looks at a case and says, yeah it may look good, but i'll go with the 5 dollar option that does the same and enjoy my end of the year bonus, thank you very much.
If you consider the history of human exploration and expansion you'll realize that quiet a bit of travel was intentionally one way.
I'm always a bit torn on this explination. I'd like to see Mars as a colony within my life time, but it's completely unlike historical colonization. Despite the fact that early explores did not know what they might find, they did know that whereever they went, there were a few simple rules. First and foremost, they could breathe the air anywhere on Earth. Second, there's little reason to believe that they wouldn't be able to find food, be it in the sea, or searching around on land. I'm not saying many didn't die from starvation and lack of clean water, but at least the rules were the same no matter where they were.
I don't know if i'd call it a niche, when it's more of a gaping hole. most people out there aren't hardcore gamers, and netbooks allow for these people to access the internet, write email, listen to music, and watch videos on the cheap. Netbooks are doing well because companies have realized that computers are no longer a toy for the elite.
Well, technology changes, we can create more secure labs, and in the case of an attack from, say, another country, it's a lot better to have this located in the center of our country far away from any border. Moving it isn't 100% secure, but these things are already moving around the country whenever we bring them to the existing labs. Personally, I'd rather it be in Kansas than at the CDC which was across the street from the summer camp I used to work at.
Hell in theory a great big Trebuchet could get someone to the moon...
While I agree it's a great acheivement to get people to the moon AND back, I think you're understating the challenge of hitting an object
382500 km away and moving at 3600 km/h relative to the earth. That's not a bet I'd like to take.

Mods, how is this flame bait?

and he deserves to be (and is) called out as well.
Left out the "his" between as and statement. posting to correct.
While I don't disagree he's a bigot, you do realize that your post is just as bigotted as statement, right?

Apparently so is math

You are correct, my statement had nothing to do with his other than to be a bit of a troll and point out that his analogy was poor at best.
but as long as we're off topic, please note the following pages on land mine statistics-

because as we all know, minefields have never been difficult to remove after they've out lived their usefulness. oh wait...

Name one TV show where the family lives in a house or an apartment realistic for what the income level for their job should be.
the cosby show? My name is earl? Admittedly you probably didn't mean the second one, but the first one should work to prove an exception to the rule.

or simply, the PS2 slim with a few cheesy 3rd party additions. Am I the only one who thinks this looks almost sue-worthy similar to the PS2?

That's not exactly true. DHS Sets Security Alert Level To Green For 8 Seconds

Finally! my chance to buy another Vegasaurus has come! I hope the machine's been fixed by now.
come on, hackers taking over oil rigs (or tankers for that matter?!) Who would make a movie like that? Oh wait... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113243/

I so agree with you, one thing to add, right now it's more important to "sound" like you know what your talking about than actually knowing.
