a lot of great games? I remember getting the N64 for my 17th birthday - I got it with Mario and Cruis'n USA.
I don't remember playing much of anything after that. 8 years later and now consider the N64 as the worst system I've ever owned on the account of lack of games worth playing. GoldenEye is pretty much the only game I remember ever playing that was actually fun.
Only if you venture out into the wild armed with nothing but a spear and a loincloth, hunt down the animal, and stuff yourself with its still-warm raw flesh at the site of the kill.
So when beef jerky was invented something like 500 years ago, eating meat became unnatural?
is where air travel is protected in the Constituion. Maybe I'm the enemy but I never understood why it's an invasion of privacy to be searched before boarding a plane. I would rather be searched than have the government take my name and SSN when boarding a plane. Big deal, so they see me in my undies and know that my napsack has a questionable book by Anne Coultier (ok, it really doesn't, but I'm currently sitting on the tarmac in Huntsville because my Delta FLT1492 to ATL got rerouted and I heavily considered buying one over her books at Dulles, instead I bought Freakanomics).
Anyway, last I checked, air travel wasn't forced on me. I could have driven to ATL, in fact at this point it would have taken less time, but I voluntarily flew. So why should I presume to have too many rights? And why is getting searched for any immediate risks a bigger deal than the repeated ID checks and potential government tracking?
I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm about to board a vehicle that's going to fly at over 500mph at 35,000 feet. I'm voluntarily getting on it, and Delta, Southwest, the CIA, whoever, can do whatever the hell they want to ensure that said vehicle lands where it's supposed to land when it's supposed to land, barring weather.
Anyway, I've always been confused because I think a more effective security measure is a thorough searching without any ID checks are more appropriate. It doesn't matter who I am, it matters what I have with me.
Maybe the French should just take their Statue of Liberty home?
Actually, it's ours. It was a gift, remember? I'm surprised you didn't know that.
Oh and btw, the French army history is one of the biggest in the entirely world if not the biggest, in the number of fought battles (and won).
That's true. They've been losing for a long time. har har har
If you don't like the show, change the channel. This is slashdot, everyone gets bashed. That includes "stupid Americans" along with Frenchmen. So quit your bitchin'.
Legal precedents have determined that unless a job *requires* a certain level of education then it is illegal to discriminate based on it. I don't remember the case name, but it was early 1900s, involved a coal miner.
But assuming that Da Gooberment has an obligation to obligate safer vehicles, where do you set the bar? If a "mesh-like material" is the difference between injury and Pedestrian Souffle', why not require such a system on all vehicles? Or do I have to cross my fingers and only step out in front of cars built by Jaguar?
When the costs of the increase in safety make it too expensive for the poor to afford even the cheapest "safe" car.
I believe in the USA 75% of police shot are either shot with their own gun or by another policeman, so arming the police is not the answer either.
Those two causes don't have dick to do with anything. Police officers are most likely shooting in self defense or in defense of the public. People shot by their own guns could be criminals who were disarmed and then shot by their would-be victims. Might as well have said "50% of the people run over by cars were run over in their driveways" and then argue for a ban of driveways.
The only thing in your post that you established as a point is that you have zero confidence in yourself. Almost all of my friends started out in tech support and while they may not have the most fashion sense, they atleast sport a style and don't mourn their own lives like you do.
Maybe you should take the time to re-evaluate your position in life and your satisfaction with it.
If you're not happy, you're not likely to be confident in yourself. And it's that right there that is more apparent to other people, especially women, than your dress style.
Figuring out how many piece puzzles, board games, etc, are appropriate for their child to play but can't for the life of them see that "M" rating on the copy of GTA they bought for their 12 year old?
"'If public land is being used for private purposes, the tenants should be paying local property taxes... We have $30 million in unfunded retirement liabilities."
Translation : We fucked up, we're going to try to make someone else pay for our mistake.

"Can't last more than 20 minutes on Myspace" bug?
Yeah, that's right. I just admitted to using Myspace for more than 20 minutes at a time.

for what it's worth boss, the state of Washington is predominantly Democrat, they control the House and Senate.
So, before you go accusing us "right wing" people for legislating morality, remember that your people are participating hand in hand.
because the two different bar codes we have on our licenses are apparently slow. :-| Or typing in our driver's license is so difficult? please.
I love government. Especially mine (Virginia).
did it involve a hooker and subsequently running her over to get your money back?
Can you say that on /. about a Republican?
Excellent post, thanks.

wow grammar surprise.
If your name really is Bob then my last name is Chang.
Is that why nationalism is so prevalent in Europe?
that France was looking to invent a "circular transportation facilitation device." Could I get someone to confirm that?
funny. I don't know anyone with any xbox 360 but Microsoft claims they sold well.

Hey, did you know this thread was about computers?
Figuring out how many piece puzzles, board games, etc, are appropriate for their child to play but can't for the life of them see that "M" rating on the copy of GTA they bought for their 12 year old?
Blows my mind.
Great, now you're gonna get arrested for violating the DMCA.
Another slashdotter down.
The land is federal land. If the federal government wants to tax Google, they can.
But a state government cannot tax a company that is not on state property.
