You fight like a dairy farmer. How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
You make me want to puke. You make me think somebody already did.
I'm not going to take your insolence sitting down! Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?
I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle! I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose....and the pirates are defeated. No need for a stupid noise maker.
If bombs are illegal...then only the terrorists will have bombs. We need to legalise them for everyone. That way, the next time someone plans on blowing something up, they'll think twice, 'cause they'll know that everyone else has a bomb just waiting for them.
Since Congress likes to appoint a czar for every type of crime I propose that the next czar be the Loitering Czar. Included in his jurisdiction would be simple loitering, cruising, skateboarding in public places, being black, ringing bells, "hanging out" (either literally or figuratively), being poor, and we can through in J-walking, since of course all loiterers facilitate their heinous crimes by first j-walking over to their intended loitering spot.
If you remember the recent "halfling" finding on the island of Flores, it is believed that they (pre-homo sapiens) may very well have arrived there by boat given that no land bridge would have ever existed to the island and they would have been too large to arrive by other means.
This whole concept is would only be viable if legislation mandated that EULAs had to be constructed in a "modular" manner with individual provisions conforming to set standards. If the software had to actually read and comprehend the so called legalese, well, good luck, because it's hard for most people let alone computers. Furthermore the English language is flexible enough and computers dumb enough that it would be quite simple to stimy the computer software in question (think of spam and filtering software).
The end of origin/ea's austin location really began after Chris Roberts was booted years ago. That was after Wing commander 4 came out, a year late and something like 10mil over budget (I think it costs 12mil total in the days when games rarely exceeded 1mil). They've been scaling back by attrition since then, and combined with the fact that EA long ago folded all of its disparate brands into the EA umbrella... This has been a long time coming.
Now I'm going to have to actually put on clothes BEFORE I leave the house.
Or not...
After all, who hasn't seen me in a fairly serious state of undress in one of my all too frequent drunken stupors?
People knock on my door at their own peril, as the delivery people, magazine sellers, jehovas witnesses, et al have all discovered. To my credit though, I am usually wearing a bathrobe... I just don't always remember to tie it.
It's somehow gratifying to read about how the product I'm using (my computer) and the product I'm drinking (an indian black tea) are connected in history in a way which neither coffee nor red bull can compare.
To set the record straight for those who call tea girly, no product which for its aquisition entailed the conquest and enslavement of an entire (sub)continent can be called girly... Even if I drink it out of cute little porcelain cups with my cute teapot. It's still manly. Arrrrghhh (manly grunt)
The lack of American understanding of the region is truly scary. While the main army of the Iraqi governement is antiquated and built for open battles (in which the US will dominate), where the iraqis will make their impact felt is in discretionary warfare and urban combat. The American media seems to still tow the official government line that no civilians are fighting against americans, and its all regulars and paramilitaries discarding uniforms to fight. While this may be largely the case, there seems to a totall unwillingness to admit that civilians might actually want to stand up and defend their country themselves. Regardless of how you feel about your leader, if foriegn troops (especially those of a nation with the kind of reputation america has in the mideast) were marching through your backyard, bombing your town (regardless of target), killing your country's soldiers, you would probably want to fight back and rally around your leader. Though a far more mild character, Bush had an approval rating in the low 30's before september 11. I heard a lot of nasty stuff from people about him. Yet, after 9/11, he had an approval rating in the 80s. It reminds me of the first media reports out of Vietnam. According to them, everyone loved Diem and America and hated communism. Yet it wasn't the north that bled the US out of vietnam, it was common peasants in the Viet Minh in the south. People supported Ho Chi Minh not because he was a communist, but because he was one of them. He stood up for them against the japanese, the french and the americans. He fought the invader.
now that was a rambling message!
It's not "Atheist-Children-Get-Presents Day", it's Happy Capitalistic Market Economy Day. As such, the correct phrase is not "merry xmas", but instead it is "I hope you exceed 3rd Quarter earnings estimates". (I actually wrote that in the Kwanza card I gave out today)
Contrary to what Katz may say, there is no such thing as an "Evil" corporation (there are evil sole proprietorships and partnerships, but that's another story). All a corporation is is a bunch of people doing there jobs, hopefully what they are good at, trying to make a living. As for the management, they are nothing more than a bunch of middle age men (and a few token women) with failed social lives trying to derive value from their otherwise meaningless lives through success in their jobs. Members of a corporation may be misguided in their beliefs and subsequent efforts (an example would be the Jack Volenti type although I don't believe the RIAA is a corp.), but the do generally believe in what they are doing.
By the way, I'm sick of hearing about "god", "lord", and "creation" in every damn story about bioengineering. It offends good athiests. And Buddhists too. I can't back that second one up but it sounds nice.
I get my coffe across the street from the Hyatt and I can never get any goddamn parking when they're in town. Worse yet, with geek conferences (like when NGIO was there a few months back) I have to wait in line for my coffee for half an hour. I don't even like BSD. Why can't they have a Linux Expo?
Without Refrigeration, all you would be eating would be dried oats. Consider how hard it was prior to it's advent to get perishable (all meats, dairy...) foods when you didn't live next to their source. Even many types of canned food are harder to produce because if more than one ingrediant is perishable and sourced from different locals, then you're out of luck.
Without the degradation, think about how easy it will be to hack together a cheapy, and accurate, missile guidance system. I'm quite surprised the Clinton admin did this considering how paranoid they are normally. It kind of makes me wonder though... This being the same administration that is hell bent on decresing personal privacy to the government while increasing it in regards to business (they're maintaining their monopoly).
I know fact doesn't matter when it comes to religion, but the Romans never committed wholesale persacution of any religion, including christianity (contrary to what the '50s movies claimed). At any given time during imperial age, there were several hundred religions/cults operating in all corners of the emnpire. You must remember that up to that point, mo single religion had ever been dominant. As a result of the massive empire they had to maintain (made up of many religious and ethnic backgrounds) the romans were extremely tolerant towards other religions. In fact the romans incorporated elements of conquered peoples' religions into their own, unlike the Greeks who were true racists. The Romans basicly let people worship what they wanted, so long as they followed the laws and paid their taxes (not unlike our government in that respect). What little written evidance that survives suggests that the romans wanted to avoid conflict, and espicially avoid executions of dissidents because of the martyr effect, but the Christians refused to pay taxes and they refused be accountable to Rome because they were suposedly acountable to something higher. The number of Christians killed officially prior to Constantines eddict of Milan in 313, would fit in a large closet. The terror didn't start until the Byzantine age when heresy was a capital crime. I know that no one likes to hear this because their 2nd gen. translation bible (with various meanings read into it from both times) says otherwise, but I suppose the actual history will never be completely known because the christians, under SAINT cyrill burned the great library. --- It's never so simple as "good" and "evil", now is it?

I'd rather see these kids who refuse to even attempt English form a permanent underclass than see the English language degraded to their level.

The DEA is going to be busy for a while, given, you know, that its CSU Chico.

UCSD 90% asian? Close. ...but then maybe we're just spoiled here.
99% of its women hot? I think not.
UCSD- Where the girls get another "Freshman 15" every quarter

Post script on my prior note--
IANAL--
just so you all know. I didn't want anyone to get in trouble or anything...
...public vigilante executions of spammers? Kinda like a citizens arrest, but more permenant. Just a thought.
dammit- I accidently deleted the half of my message which contained the point
