You're just debating abortion and calling people morons
Just because you cannot find humor in something, does not mean humor does not exist.
The fact of the matter is, I do not feel anyone except the bearer of the womb has the right to tell that person whether or not they are allowed to have an abortion.
But I will admit that I did not always harbor such beliefs.
Why is it that the unborn are deprived of life without due process?
Now you're just trying to get into a debate on when something is considered life.
I guess if you wanted to debate it, you have to first be born to become a US Citizen, so any unborn child is therefore not a citizen.
Then we could get into the definition/interpretation of the word "born" to mean either created or released into another medium (delivered) and debates on the meaning of the 14th.
Disclaimer: This is supposed to be humorous.
I once felt that the "Right to Choose" crowd were a bunch of morons. You already chose to do the down-and-dirty, and TANSTAAFL. Saying that the moment an individual leaves the womb marks when they receive the right to live is ridiculous, because many could have exited early and still be just fine.
But taking a further look at their reasoning... I still think they're a bunch of morons, but now it's because they've got the time all wrong. If you left a baby all alone, there would be no way for it to fend for itself. It's no different than if the kid was still in the womb. So clearly, the only right time for a mother to no longer be allowed to abort their child, is after they no longer require others to feed and pamper them and they are able to fend for themselves.
Unfortunately, that means for all of us basement-dwelling/.ers, our mothers would still have the right to abort us.;P
You are required by law in every state to carry your drivers' license, automobile registration and proof of insurance papers, if you are driving a vehicle
Really? I know in Maryland you are, but I'd heard that some states you only had to have a license, you didn't necessarily need it on you. Of course, that was more than a few years ago..
I would imagine it's a little more difficult than simply popping out the CPU and putting in a new one. If you were tasked with upgrading a 486 here on Earth, how many components do you think you'd be able to recycle into the new machine? You'd end up replacing the whole thing, maybe keeping the HDD around just long enough to get your data off it.
I can't tell if you're trying to troll or not, but I only know of one word typically referred to as the 'N' word, and I'm fairly certain Australia does not have slavery.
I can't speak for most of the world, but the UK goes back to standard time on October 26th, and the US (those places that do DST anyway) reverts on November 1st.
I bought a clock that got the time over the radio [...] I forgot on the new date to change timezones and then it auto changed two weeks later
If it got it's time from the radio, why would you need to set anything at all? I would think that any radio transmissions should be local enough that it would be sending the correct time for that region regardless of the time of year.
Given that we're all just a bunch of walking billboards now, couldn't it be said that you are falsely advertising what that trademark stands for? And isn't advertising a product with a trademark that you do not own sue-able (for lack of a real word)?
1) do math
2) play with staple guns
3) mess around on the Internet
4) have lots of sex
I think it's safe to say that, given that this is a webcomic, 3 is true. And given the content of some of the strips, 1 can be safely assumed as well. So that just leaves us with 2 and 4.
Now, while it could be said that, given the fact that staple guns feature prominently in some of the strips (much like math), you don't really need a solid understanding of staple gun mechanics to make those kinds of jokes (unlike the math jokes. In fact, for the staple gun jokes it might help if you didn't;). And as someone else pointed out, with XKCD's popularity, there have got to be dozens of fangirls lining up around the block to have sex with the dude. So clearly, the item that should be removed is the staple guns.
Sorry, I'm not trying to say that the only terrorists that exist are Muslim, I'm just saying that, with the current state of the world, terrorists who are also Muslim seems to be what everyone wants to avoid, for lack of a better way of saying this.
And flamebait? I apologize if I came off the wrong way, but in all seriousness, I would like to know what, aside from the fact that a select few (just so you know I'm not generalizing to all Muslims, I am above such racial profiling, but am trying to speak from the PoV of those who would made such a decision to pull content like this) Muslims have shown that they are unafraid to use fear to get what they want, makes Muslim claims to "please don't do this" any more valid to obey than my own.
Oh? So are you saying that Sony pulling the God of War pre-order content (and indeed, any future God of War content) would be ok because I find God of War to be a blasphemous use of the term "God of War", insulting my own God of War, Ares Himself?
Of course, I guess the major difference between me and the followers of the Qur'an, is that a small number of the Qur'an followers have shown themselves to be terrorists, and doing shit like this will appease them, because appeasement always works.
I'd much rather buy a game once for each platform I wish to play it on, than pay 4, 5, 10 times the cost of a single version of the game (since they now must make back the extra development costs from a single sale per player) for the ability to play it on platforms that I might never have.
Of course, at the same time, why would you need multiple versions of the same game but for different platforms?
Disclaimer, I am a console gamer, not a PC gamer. So that might have something to do with my inability to understand.
The US owns the world now?
But a little more seriously, perhaps they'd quietly contract a hit out on the satellite to the Chinese. They've already shown an ability to blowup satellites in orbit.
I'm curious to know why traction control should ever be turned off.
As for limiting speed to 80, my last car (1995 Taurus) topped out at that naturally, so I don't see any problem there either. The only problems I might have are with parents who implement such features without even talking with their children about it.
Also, having no idea what an "11" sounds like, I wonder how that would effect causing teenagers to turn to wearing headphones while driving (an illegal, at least in Maryland, and much more dangerous action I believe).
Interesting, do you have any proof of this? Because the only reasons I've found to be a limiting factor would be the extra processing power required to perform the more intensive WPA encryption.

Here's the NSF press release
Anyone else read that as the "Not Safe For [the] Press" release?
I can't tell if you're trying to troll or not, but I only know of one word typically referred to as the 'N' word, and I'm fairly certain Australia does not have slavery.
Whoops, correcting myself here. November 2nd, not 1st.

Lets look at this scientifically for a second.
;). And as someone else pointed out, with XKCD's popularity, there have got to be dozens of fangirls lining up around the block to have sex with the dude. So clearly, the item that should be removed is the staple guns.

How unrealistic is "someone sent me a link"? It's entirely plausible that the link text he clicked was completely unrelated
Yeah, tell me about it.
(Disclaimer, that might be goatse, but I was too chicken-shit to find out for certain.)

In its ruling, the appeals court said an encryption key is no different than a physical key
Then they should have absolutely no trouble obtaining it without my cooperation.
Everyone can eat salami.
The people born without faces can eat salami? Where will they stick it? Wait, I don't want to know....

Although a completely shaved head (on a white guy, anyway) is a dead giveaway as well
Mmm, yes, of course, because there couldn't possibly be alternative reasons to shave ones head.
There's even a company that has popped up which sells brimless baseball caps.
To quote a French teacher of mine, "you can call it bathroom tissue all you'd like, but it's still toilet paper."

no new features were added
Unfortunately, plenty of features were removed between console revisions.
