...And? What was your point with that? Are you implying that the # of species was fixed at the beginning of time and each time a species goes extinct we move one step closer to extinguishing all life forever because new species can never emerge?
Yes yes, I know of the phrase "over 90% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct" (or something to that extent). But all that says is along the line of "9 million years ago, there were 100 different species on this planet. 8 million years ago, all 100 of those species died and 100 new species took over. Etc, all the way down to today", which when you look at it like that (instead of like "9 million years ago, there were 100 unique species. Today, there are only 10") it actually doesn't seem so bad.
I voted for Obama [...] Why? Two words: Caribou Barbie.
Thank you for reinforcing our "two"-party system.
Until more people are willing to "throw away" their vote on a 3rd party (no I am not advocating a specific 3rd party), we will never experience real change.
Let me get this straight, you bought two cars with cash? And now had to sell them both "just to get by"? Either those were some pretty inexpensive cars when you bought them, or your definition of "just getting by" has a few more lobster dinners in it than mine does.
That said, I've not noticed any deflation either. Quite the opposite actually, as gas currently is more expensive than it was this time last year. Though perhaps gas isn't the best commodity to use to track inflation, it's the only product that I can remember the price of from last year.
Should it really make one bit of difference the events which lead to being "left half-naked in a cold cell, and finally dumped on the Canadian side of the border with no coat"? I can imagine situations where the beatings (depending on what they mean by beatings) had just cause, but not being "left half-naked in a cold cell, and finally dumped on the Canadian side of the border with no coat", there is simply no justification for that IMO.
I will concede though that it is possible to lie that he was "left half-naked in a cold cell, and finally dumped on the Canadian side of the border with no coat", but the fact that the story is even believable I think says something.
I'll bet it's one of the people making the noise that's behind the complaint. Probably somebody who, for sound[1] reasons, can't listen to music while working.
For some reason, this reminds me of the time someone complained that another coworker of mine was playing a DS on their lunch break. Or maybe it was a PSP. Or a laptop. The point is, they were doing it on their lunch break and in the break room, and someone complained about it.
Curious, I've actually found that while in the office, music tends to help, while if I'm at home it becomes a distraction. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that in the office I use headphones, while at home I don't, but who knows.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is that we all function differently, and as adults we should be free to decide when to indulge in music and when not to as long as it does not interfere with our work. A shame that BubbaDoom's boss seems to think it does interfere:(
But is this one of BubbaDoom's bosses from within the programming department or someone higher up? If it's someone higher up, and the head of the programming department sees the benefit in letting the employees decide for themselves when music is appropriate, I would hope that he or she would be willing to back their underlings.
With the obligatory meme out of the way, in my neighborhood (city water in, septic tank out), everyone pays a (consistent from month to month) flat rate regardless of how much any one individual household uses. I don't know of any place where electricity usage is also like that, but comparing water usage fees to internet usage fees could be seen by some as an argument for a flat rate fee for truly unlimited internet access.
Serious question, as I seem to recall on one of the History Channel's Modern Marvels episodes that with the introduction of petroleum-based products to agriculture came increased food production.
Simple, you use the oh-so-low-tech-but-time-tested solution of telling your daughter ahead of time that she needs to be home by 5:00pm or whatever time you feel is appropriate.
I could go out, find the appropriate hardware to do so myself
If you have a DS and a wifi access point, then you already have the appropriate hardware to do so yourself. Do a search for Rudolph's DS wifi backup tool. I'd provide the specific link I used, but do not have it handy at the moment. Though it is dog-slow in my experiences.
And to backup GBA games, if you've got a DS or DS Lite and a slot 1 flash card, you can use Rudolph's GBA backup tool.
Best part about both? You don't have to start over from scratch, you can copy the save file as well.
Nice strawman, but how is half that stuff even relevant to raping an 8-yearold girl? But if it is all relevant to the case, then yes, I would expect all that to be available in a public record.
Though I suppose as long as both parties agree, it would be ok to keep it out of the public record. But then you get into the possibility of coercion, threatening someone who would want a fully open and public trial into having a secret trial.
Having not played WoW, I found it rather odd that TFS made mention of the/hugging 11 players like it was part of what constituted "beating" WoW. I was thinking "why 11? why not 12, 13, 1024, etc?"
So I have to ask, are you serious when you say there is an achievement for/hugging a dead player, or are you just making a joke?
Except speed limits by and large aren't legally set to begin with
Try telling that to the officer who pulls you over, or the judge when you try contesting the ticket in court some 3-5 months later.
And if you're doing 70 in a 55, and someone wants to pass why not let them?
Because I have no intention of slowing myself down in order to merge into the traffic in the next lane over just to let some fucktard tailgater pass me.

Wait, if you were home, why would you need mobile internet? Or were there other circumstances keeping you from accessing your home net connection?
either their houses are made from eggshells, or this is the scam of the century.
I don't think GP meant that the guy shouldn't pay, just that it seems highly suspect that there is so much damage to be paid for.
I have no experience with quakes, so I'm just going by what GP said as to what a 3.4 quake would do.
When he was fired, and refused to give up the passwords, it became stealing.
You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
But that's not what I'd like to address, I just couldn't pass up using the meme.
"I forgot the password."
Yeah, that's not what he said, but had he, then what?

Do you seriously believe it's illegal to read a book if the writer says you can't?
If they go through the right channels, yes.

I've heard some malls are telling people to remove their hoods or GTFO.
Yes, but can we grow enough to sustain ourselves?

That is simply awesome looking. But... only 2345x2039? The original maxed out at 6200x6200. What gives? :P

Oh, and sorry to double post, but thanks for informing me about the whole "incorporating the bill of rights to the states" thing.
Unfortunately for your argument, that part of the sixth amendment does not seem to have been incorporated against the states
Um... from your own link...
Right to notice of accusations
* This right has been incorporated against the states. See In re Oliver, 333 U.S. 257 (1948).
But if there's only 1 good game then no one would buy a console.
People bought the original Xbox just to play Halo.
And the original Playstation just for Final Fantasy VII (I didn't, but know someone who did).
