Oh, I get it now, You're a moron. You don't understand the difference between thumbnail images and higher-resolution files.
Maybe it's more that OP doesn't understand how Google image search works. I always thought that Google image search pulled in the full-sized image from the remote server, and then resizing into a thumbnail was done either on Google's servers or in the web browser. But if I understand you correctly, Google image search was previously smart enough to pull in the thumbnails that were already on the remote site (if any even existed).
It probably also has to do with a different method of measuring traffic. OP seems to measure traffic by measuring how much data is transmitted over a given period of time. You seem to measure traffic by measuring... I don't know, number of hits over a given period of time, regardless of how much data was transmitted?
You are absolutely right, they won't. The US government can simply throw wave after wave of people at me until I am taken down. Just as I could easily take you down if I were to form a lynch mob and there was no one to back you up. Which is why it isn't about me standing alone with my shotgun and handgun. It is about me and the hundreds of thousands of other firearms owners all standing together.
Individually, yes, we could be taken out. Collectively, you'll find it a bit more difficult.
Or at least tell any such customers calling up for things like wifi support that their contract does not include such support, and if they would like such support they must sign up for a data plan.
but the idea that these systems are stupid enough to shoot down missiles that aren't going to hit targets is laughable.
I do not think that is what TFS meant by "fire off older weapons that are not as accurate". More like "poor accuracy may result in an impact up to 100 miles away from the intended target". I'm fairly certain the American public would not take too kindly to the idea that the military would ignore incoming missiles that have a low chance of hitting, say, the White House, but still a 100% chance of causing destruction somewhere within the country.
I think the A could just as easily stand for Arms. And that's the problem with banning acronyms, especially with no context behind them. Is that FTW "Fuck The World" or "For The Win"? Maybe that WTF is actually "Went To Florida", or a persons name. Wendy Taylor Finnigan.
In a related note, I've seen ROFLMAO on a Maryland plate. Not recently, but within the last two years I guess it was.
That just explains why you cannot ship one single MMR/ChickenPox/Tetanus slurry. It doesn't explain why the doctor cannot combine them on an individual basis.
I think it has to do with OP seeing that women have demanded the right to vote, the right to equal pay, etc, but have not demanded that things like the draft include them. I do not know if that is true or not, but that I believe is what OP was thinking of.
I believe pkbarbiedoll means that you've been fired and a robot has taken your job. Sure, your job is not your purpose in life, but you may now find it difficult to put food on your table and keep a roof over your head. So what, if anything, should society do for such displaced individuals? Are current unemployment benefits sufficient, or should we plan for some huge influx of people? What, if anything, needs to be done to avoid a new Luddite movement? Sure, we survived the first, and I am not claiming that we would not survive another. But would society have been better off if something* had been done to avoid the Luddite movement entirely? Should we just let a new Luddite movement run its course?
*Something other than stopping/reversing technological process.
Try reading the article next time. Really, it's not that hard
Considering how you couldn't even bother reading Runaway1956 entire sentence, I'm not sure you're really in a position to be criticizing anyone.
Here, I'll highlight the part you skipped.
Those bogus patents pulled from their "portfolio", and given to Newegg, along with a few dozen more patents. They might actually own a valid patent that could prove valuable to Newegg.
Now if you actually did read that, but still consider what happened to be "better", I think Newegg would disagree. From Newegg's perspective, being granted a patent which can then be wielded against others is likely a far better result than having a patent invalidated such that everyone and their dog now benefits from their legal battle without having spent one single penny.
Oh, sorry. Thought the "nice" meant you were being sarcastic, like you were saying that gays should be more accepted than other persecuted groups. My mistake.
Secondly, you think we shouldn't be more accepting of gay people simply because other people are persecuted also?
....yes? I mean, how do you judge which persecuted group to be accepting towards more than any other persecuted group? Isn't it better to accept all groups equally?
Personally, that's all I want, to be treated equal. I don't want or need any sort of special treatment not afforded to other groups.
"We're sorry Mr L4t3r4lu5, but it appears that you are on so many lists, you are not allowed to leave the country. Except via special government transport to Guantanamo Bay."
Or were you speaking as someone from another country?
I believe AC's point involved breaking it down to the basics. A person used their firearm, used all of their loaded ammo, and was stopped from doing whatever they were doing while reloading. You claim that only bad guys would have that happen to them, but I cannot think of a logical reason why it could not happen to a good guy as well.
So you'd rather focus on an irrelevant distinction than talk about the underlying issues.
Is it an irrelevant distinction if lawmakers were discussing a law which would restrict "memory" (RAM) to, say, 256MB sticks, when they actually meant flash cards and/or USB flash drives? I'd give a car analogy, but I am afraid I am not knowledgeable enough in commonly confused car terms.
Discussing how to address the underlying issues is great. But when pig-headed politicians are looking to ram something through that they have no idea wtf it actually means, then you cannot just ignore it.
Piling on debt without end is not long-term thinking.
Ignoring whether or not that is what the tea party is about, I believe that was Cryacin's point. Your post seems to be implying that Cryacin was saying that the tea party thinks long term. But the sentence you omitted from your quote of their post seems to say the exact opposite.
Unless I misunderstood your post. You are saying that the tea party is about piling on debt without end, right?
I doubt anyone is going to see God, Mohammed, Buddha or Jesus on youtube without it being an obvious mockup or hoax, regardless of whether or not any of the do/did exist.
It isn't about seeing them personally, but rather "look at all these miraculous events! How can you possibly claim that my particular flavor of deity does not exist?"

Seems tame to me. Clearly the person was commemorating their parents move.

I don't think they should be required to advertise how much space is actually available.
I both agree and disagree.
If their advertisements do not mention a spec at all, then I suppose that is fine. But once they advertise it, yes, they must be truthful about it.
I've generally thought of government like a tool, but I think I like your comparison better.
A tool if left alone will just sit there, maybe rotting/rusting away.
A wild animal, on the other hand, will start doing its own thing.

What do you mean 'not needed anymore'.

Sure it does. The guy can be both a researcher and know how to code. Sort of like how someone can be a driver but also know how to rebuild an engine.

If I get a few thousand of my friends together to do just that, I've created a real world DDOS that is entirely legal.
Until the manager says that all such protesters should GTFO or the cops will be called to deal with a bunch of trespassers.

That.. does not seem to make sense. If I am harassing you for any other reason, surely you'd have some legal recourse against me, right?
TWX never said anything resembling what you labeled as "Statement 2".
Really? Because "or was harmed for running out of ammunition over ten rounds..." sure sounds like it to me.

Actually, I think that means you would not be screwed. ;)
