Yes. That's essentially what they did with AT&T when they were doing some big-time packet snooping. They spliced the fiber and ran it to it's own floor where it was analyzed by a separate system.
I admit I had no idea what polymathic meant. Now that I've wikipedia'd it I really like it. Kudos to you sir for giving me a word to toss into a random conversation that will make me sound smarter than I am.
Apparently no one from MADD has played the game. It's portrayed with definite consequences for driving drunk. In the game I took Roman (your cousin in game) out for drinks and got royally hammered. When you go to the car and try and get in it say "driving drunk not a good idea". If you do it anyway you'll have 10 cop cars on you within a block and you're way to hammered to outrun them. If anything this is doing the MADD cause a favor.
I've reported the obvious ones but the GMs don't seem to do much about it. You just get a canned response that they "are looking into it." Since that doesn't work, (on a PvP server) you can take matters into your own hands and kill the bot a few dozen times to break its loop. They get confused really easy if you kill it a few times and it ends up in a spot it doesn't know it just kind of freaks out.
A place where friends, acquaintances, and perhaps even business partners will meet up to "talk shop" and swap stories. Personally, I can't wait until I have my next job interview in the Deadmines.
Deadmines? Deadmines? Which entry level position are you trying to obtain?
Wouldn't damage it at all. I'm all for cutting spending. You can't spend more than you take in, it's as simple as that. Were it up to me I would have not cut taxes on capital gains so we could help pay down our debt. The whole point for this tax cut was to get people to put money back in the market. Sure it's up, but who cares. My 401K is still worth less than I put in.
It's either that or print a shite load of money to pay it off and go the way of Germany circa WWI. I don't know about you, but the thought of our money being so worthless that we can burn it to keep warms doesn't sound like a good idea. That's what the current administration is doing. Printing to pay our debt. Seldom a good idea.
The borrow and spend method, also known as the "tax cuts for us and spend our grandchildren's money" method. May the fleas of a thousand dogs come to nest in the genitalia of those responsible.
Don't do that to me. My arm went numb and I saw my life flash before my eyes. I haven't had coffee yet people. Talk about an unholy union. Sheesh, I thought AOHell and Time Warner was bad. Throw fox in there and I think you start the Apocalypse.
I'm sure most if not all of them are. There are few if any that are not on the take.
This partisan crap is killing us. You call yourself a Republican. I call myself a Democrat. From what I can gather we're actually very close in the beliefs of what government should offer. Those os us in the middle (most of the country) should infiltrate the parties and push our beliefs. Get active in the republican party, God knows we could use some honest people there. Let them know not everyone is a terrorist, that if you offshore your "headquarters" then you aren't an American company anymore. Things like this are getting a blind eye becuase it's profitable to screw us. Money is more important than people right now, that needs to change.
I think it's more that there is no land to buy. It's all either rice fields, houses, or mountain. I never saw anyone I would consider poor, they say the economy sucks there but I didn't buy it. The wealth seemed a lot more spread around than here in the states. I loved it there. If I spoke japanese better, I wouln't have came home to the states. However, I stick out. Not to many nazi poster boys running around. In Tokyo no one looked at me strange, but in the country people would point. Not used to many gaijins I guess.
Also note that most unmarried adults in their late 20's live at home with their parents, and like to have their own TVs and whatnot in their small bedrooms
And some married as well. I found this odd at first when I went to Japan. The oldest of the siblings moves back in after college then gets married etc and yet still lives with his parents. I laughed the first time my mother in law explained it to me. I think it's a cool idea now that I've gotten used to it. Screw buying your own, just squat out your parents house. I don't know that it's practiced in the bigger cities, but in the small town my family lives in it is.
I don't know about unfavorable. Even if they are worried about piracy, so what. Change the business model a bit. Jack up the price of the console to where you make a profit. You won't sell as many, but who cares. It beats loosing money on the console thinking you'll make up for it on games. You know you're going to get your ass handed to you on game sales, so you make up for it elsewhere. Good luck getting a developer to translate games though, since they know they aren't going to make much if any.
I too own my DSL modem. Which brand are you using if you can upload as fast as down? I thought that was capped at the CO somehow. I get about 1.3 down and probably half that up.
But if that is true then the FCC needs to back off. It was ruled that over the free(as in beer) mediums have the code of conduct so to speak. You can't say certain words, can't do certain things, etc. HBO gets around this because you pay for it. If we are in fact paying for these channels then it is a premium service and should have to live by the over the air style rules. Maybe they don't anymore, they just do for some reason.
I used to do that with Time Warner. With Comcast, you only get about 10 channels, and they are fuzzy. If you want _just_ internet then it's $60 plus taxes, etc.
I was going to get Comcast at my new house. Then when I called to find out what it would cost me for "basic" digital cable + internet. $120+ a month. I about fell out of my chair.
Since I had made up my mind I wasn't going to swallow that pill, I decided to mess with the guy. I asked im if he knew why they couldn't say fuck on basic cable. "I don't know". Well, it's because technically it's a FREE service. We pay for the access to the cable, the programming is FREE. This is how HBO gets away with things like Real Sex, you PAY for the service. So, my question is why are you jacking up the price when you pay nothing for it? "Well, sir, that is our price. I have no control over what we charge. Can I set up an install date for you?" Maybe, can you tell me if there is an equipment rental charge in there somewhere. "Yes sir." Can I guy buy a cable box so I don't have to rent one from you. "No sir, that is illegal. Can I take your order for service, sir" No, no you can't.
Oh how I miss Time Warner. I never thought the day would come when I would say that. It is indeeed a sad day. I've even ordered DSL from the evil phone company. Did I move to bizzaro world and didn't know it?
I know it wasn't written in English. It was translated to it. However, the translation that I had seemed like it wasn't even in English. You have to spend too much time trying to figure out what it is that was being said.
It also means at least hardship for those who refuse to take the mark
If I remember correctly doesn't it also mean that anyone who does take the mark is damned? Then there are those left behind who didn't take the mark. They are basically screwed too if they don't do something. I forget what it is, I just remember that it was a vague description. Revelations was the only time I paid attention in church when I was growing up. The rest seemed like it wasn't even written in English as much reading into it as you had to do.
It'll not happen in the US. Waaaaaaaay too many fundamentalist Christians about. I agree with them on this one, not because it's the mark of the beast, but because I don't like the idea of something in my body being money. I still like the cred' stick idea from Shardowrun. Anonymous, secure and very convenient. Near impossible to counterfeit and no money to print.
This is funny. -1 Flamebait? Just goes to show, don't agree with the right, they will try and bring you down. They must not have read the moderators guide. They're supposed to concentrate on modding up, not down.
Fort Wayne isn't so bad. I've been there a few times and never been harrassed. Kokomo is another story. I grew up in Kokomo, I used to get harrassed by the cops all the time. What did I do? nothing. I still don't have a record. My only crime was being young and coming out of a coffee shop downtown. This shop just happend to be down the street from the pig station. I can't count how many times I've been pulled over because "your tailight is out". No it wasn't. "Oh, well it looked like it was from my car". "now we need to search the car". You need to what? Why? "Sir, we need to search the car." Get a warrant. "What do you have to hide? Officer needs assistance, I have a hostile." This has happened to me no less than 3 times. I do no return to Kokomo except to see family. Even then I only go to thier house, I do not go out to eat etc. Don't get me started on the time my friend had his briefcase with him and had clove cigs in his pocket. I thought that would never end. Comic books, legal pads and a palm pilot are not illegal, even if you're 20 and have them in a briedcase. I think I must look like I'm steady crippin' and up to no damn good.
He doesn't have to; it's done by the vibe he's putting off. We've all been so brainwashed into thinking Osama is coming to get us that anyone who disagrees is a terrarist (to use dubya speak). Those who follow this thinking, in this case the cops in a mid size town, feel that you are unpatriotic so that gives them the right to bash your skull and detain you for no good reason. "That'll learn you, boy."

Indeed. Though I did get a chuckle out of the "don't click next or I will root your computer" sign.

No, that wasn't sarcasm I'm being serious.

Why is it perfectly ok to offend the people who the tragedy happened to, but not ok to offend people who deny it ever happened to begin with?
They do ban bots, but it takes forever sometimes.

I use the former as my definition, it wasn't supposed to be a put down. You're right though, it has been used recenty to describe Terra-rist-fanatics.
