You've clearly displayed a lack of critical thinking here by just reading the bullshit sensationalist headlines. I'm not saying that I completely agree with the Justices here in saying that strip searching should be implicitly allowed for non-indictable offenses but to rule that it's not constituional to subject anyone to those searches is just asking for trouble.
Please, everyone - read the actual judgement at http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-945.pdf and don't waste your time reading The Register... a publication that made a joke about holding your genetials in the same line as linking to the opinion.
Let me get this straight, you're actually criticizing a member of a democratic republic for attempting to model their stances after public opinion?! Say it isn't so!!!
The problem is when those opinions aren't followed through on because of private or corporate interests.
That's just political correctness blinding you I think. Fact is, as culturally women and men are still both treated very differently from a young age all the way into their careers. No, the actual sex doesn't matter - but the way that we treat those sexes does - and has - for generations.
Naturally these are all a Range of funny jokes, but I think that it's time that we took a real break from them before we get them at too regular an interval.
I've long wondered why when I buy a new computer game it doesn't come with a USB stick. Especially if DRM is going the direction on checking a server out on the net, what's to stop them from just putting the whole file system on a stick? I think a collection of 8GB USB drives that all have unique game art on them would be kind of cool, too.
Best yet: How about we as a people take a stand against unreasonable search and seizure like our founding fathers intended with that little thing called the fourth amendment?
Am I the only one who is indignant that we're already trying to come up with ways to circumvent this rather than to fix it properly? Let's stop trying to use band-aids to patch up these "little inconveniences" to the Bill of Rights.
Damn, call me an idealist but I'm getting sick of this. And not that I'm a gun nut - but isn't Gov. Brown the same guy who just said that it's illegal to publicly display a firearm in his state? Who the hell does this guy think he is? Why are you standing for this, Cali?/rant
Assuming that I'm rubber and your glue is invincible is actually one of the most classic blunders, only slightly behind never going against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
The only unstoppable argument is The Chewbacca defense.
I never bought a Playstation with the check engine light disabled.
Then again - I never bought a car with a cool feature like power brakes and had that used car salesmen come to my house years later and cut them a la OtherOS.
I'm not sure why you were modded down, that seems silly. I think you make a valid point. There is still an overwhelming perception in the business world that to get anything done you have to use Microsoft products when that is simply not the case.
Realistically, at the rate that we're going it's far more likely that the first restaurant on the moon will be Chinese... much like the only denizens of that dusty rock.
You know, since it doesn't look like my country is trying to get back there any time soon... I'm sorry, I'm just bitter.
"A sport is an organized, competitive, entertaining, and skilful activity requiring commitment, strategy, and fair play, in which a winner and loser can be defined by objective means. Generally speaking, a sport is a game based in physical athleticism. Activities such as board games and card games are sometimes classified as "mind sports," but strictly speaking "sport" by itself refers to some physical activity"Sport.
I understand what you're saying, but I think that you're thinking too small.
On an average football play, you never pay attention to a receiver who puts up a great block for a run unless the run goes right by him. You don't notice the linemen holding the pocket from collapse after the camera follows the deep pass. You see these things in replay - just like you would were the FPS games an actual sport.
Because this current generation of sports fans didn't grow up playing Tribes. They grew up playing ____ball.
Give it 30 years and lets revisit.
also... I'd like to mention I don't find someone taking a bullet for another in a video game to be nearly as heroic as taking a hit for someone in a sport. One thing that's great about the physical sports is that there is a very, very clear punishment for playing poorly. You do something stupid in Starcraft, you lose a base, you lose the game... whatever. You don't block a punch in boxing - you get hurt. Then you lose.
I like the idea behind that, but realistically is it feasible to have a peer review for every rollout? Are IT departments really under-funded more often than other departments?
I doubt it.
I find it far more likely that the IT crowd is no different than any other crowd and we just like to whine when given the soapbox to do it from. That's just my two cents though.
Frankly, I'd love the capital to hire more hands - oh well. I'm sure everyone else would, too.
If you had read the whole thing you'd see that they said that was 300k since May, putting them down to 11.1 million from the highpoint of 12 million at the end of the third quarter last year.

The Beach Boys started it...
The Hangover, Part 3:
Bradley Cooper finds a husband and the gang ends up war torn Africa where nothing but highjinks and babies with AK-47s ensue.
Actually, am I the only one who would go see that?
Have you come across any employers who do like to be told to fuck off?
Yes, but I work in a specialized industry. If you'll excuse me, I have 13 more movies to finish by the end of the week.

Hey man, maybe he's just into that kind of thing. Behind closed doors and all... sheesh - be a little more open minded!

Yeah, we would have seen that if Bruce Willis didn't have it covered.

I don't know... their space program did get all the way to the third floor roof.

I don't think that e-book means what they think it does :)
Inconceivable!
They used to run around naked all day. They still do, but they used to, too.
Last time I checked, XX were women and XY were men... and some form of tucking represented the others. /ducks
