I think you're confusing what you told yourself every night when you got home from high school with reality.
The reality of the situation is a minute number of high school athletes TRY to make professional careers out of it. There's quite a few that are both athletic and intelligent. I know that's hard for you to swallow, what with the fantasy of all those athletic people that get the girls ending up in construction being the only thing that keeps you going.
I'm not saying they're all intelligent but you can't paint everyone with athletic ability with such broad strokes just because your bitter. I know a lot of athletic people that ended up in Engineering at my College, and a lot that played high schools sports and even a cheerleader (ouch, that's got to hurt your world view) that ended up working at the R&D place I work with extremely good careers.
Maybe I'm reading what you said wrong but I would find a green light which means I must stop and yield very confusing, especially a green arrow.
Most states Green means go unless your turning left, and a green arrow means turn in that direction without stopping because you have sole right-of-way.
Maybe because Google knows that you aren't likely to write a $1 check to charity each time you buy a book, and it can make a bigger impact donating in larger sums.
I'm also completely confident still getting a financial incentive of the tax write-off for donations to charity while gaining some moral high-ground on those opposed to them having so much control over books has absolutely nothing to do with it. *shifty eyes*
Do you know if the actual report is available? I'm curious as to whether they are taking into account the carbon used for the powering of the kindle and the environmental impact of disposing a kindle and it's battery vs the ability to recycle the paper from books. It'd also be interested to know who funded the study, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon's name was on there
oh yea, because the majority of people in the world just love asking questions in a crowded room. I mean seriously, have you ever been in a classroom? People don't like asking questions in that setting and now you want them to question a possible murderer in front of other jury members and lawyers and judges and let someones future rest upon their ability and motivation to do so? No, it's way more likely that they'd just sit on the information they had and leave it up to someone else to ask.
The Mediterranean is 0.7 percent of the world's seas. If in this tiny portion there are more than 30 (toxic waste) shipwrecks, imagine what there could be elsewhere,' says Silvestro Greco, head of Calabria's environment agency.
Isn't that like saying "OMG, this chainsaw massacre crime scene is just.00000000000000000001% of the earth's surface, so if there's 5 dismembered bodies here just imagine how many more there could be elsewhere?! You should totally give my Agency more money."
Perhaps considering that EA's stunt caused you to come here and bash Christians their displeasure with EA's stunt is not as baseless and hypocritical as you suggest?
Hypocritical would be EA protesting about something violent (a war perhaps?) that the Christians (hypothetically) agree with and the Christians getting up in arms. I could not, for example,get a bunch of white southern guys, all put black-paint on my face, make a bunch of NAACP banners, and go protest the fictional arrest of some African American while acting acting as offensively stereotypical as possible and then claim African Americans are being "hypocritical" when they get outraged at my stunt.
Compare the amount of skill it takes to land a plane/helicopter when it you lose power unexpectedly versus "press the left peddle". One can be done by a child whose never driven before.
Just because it can be done by extremely responsible people, who have taken a long course and are now fairly skilled does not mean it's a good idea to have the unwashed masses that still think a yield sign means the same thing as a highway merge do it on a regular basis.
What's the likelihood of a corporation being able to convince ALL the corporations that own the infrastructure of the entire internet at large that they should switch to such a system because ALL of them will somehow benefit from the others having control over their sections of the web and none of them will have financially significant backlash from their customers or be breaking any regional laws? I think you'd have better luck unifying the world under a single religion.
Why would a journalist be posting a non-desirable story inside the military's internal network? I'm pretty sure this will be applied to the military's internal classified networks for better transferring important command and control information at a higher priority than non mission and time critical data.
This isn't likely to apply to the internet as a whole, just their own internal networks. And I'm sorry, but in an operational environment where people can die if the right information doesn't get there on time, all information shouldn't be routed equally. Your power point briefing on the last uneventful patrol can probably take a backseat to the incoming missile warnings on the network.
They're talking military networks so low priority traffic would be non mission/time-critical traffic. For example, email with a bunch of power point slides for a briefing might be low priority traffic, whereas an Alert for an incoming cruise missile to the Command and Control Systems might be considered slightly more high priority.
Actually the whole point of the name is to emphasize just that "IMPROVISED Explosive Device" versus an expensive landmine or bomb made on a production line. It's just quicker to say.
Yea, just like they Disney-fied Kill-Bill when they released it under the Touchstone brand which Disney also owns. Man, you should have seen the original cuts, there was like 30 minutes of her just hacking away at an intern that messed up her latte. You don't realize it's real until the studio police run into the scene. On the other hand it kinda broke immersion in the story anyways.
There's been several exploding iPhone incidents in France. While Apple claims they are isolated unintentional incidents the French Government issued a formal Surrender to Apple just in case.
Well clearly giving the moon rock as a state gift would be much better at convincing the Dutch to a trade agreement then the Diamond necklace or fine china. I bet your territorial expansion would hardly matter at all.
OMG, not Illegal != Legal Right To in All Products
Maybe you'll understand a car analogy?;)
It is not illegal to have a CD player built into a car. Perhaps there's a court case ruling that it is not too distracting to the driver so therefore not illegal. That does not mean you have the Legal Right to have a CD player in every vehicle and a company that builds a vehicle with no place to insert a CD player into the dash has overruled that court case.
It is also not your legal right to have the software and ability to copy any CD, it is simply not illegal for you to do so. Therefore it is your decision as a consumer to buy products that are easier to copy, or to buy an OS that makes this process easier. But it is not your God-given or supreme court rules RIGHT to be able to do so and easily with every piece of software and supported easily by every OS or even not actively denied.
This is of course based off my understanding that the supreme court said it is NOT illegal to make a backup, not a ruling stating it IS ILLEGAL to prevent a CD from being copied. If the latter is the case then I apologize for my misunderstanding and withdraw my arguments.
Probably the kind of adversary with missiles but without anti-aircraft artillery a mere 15,000 feet of your base of operations? And your smuggled weapons is a bit of a strawman. It's easier to smuggle weapons in so we should not care at all about defending against missiles that could drop biological weapons or make precision strikes against vital targets?
By having the pipes come up between the walls and knocking the valves back in and plastering over them if they don't want them exactly as the forums discuss? To be fair though I'm not sure why your comment is modded as a troll, it seems an honest enough question.
Really? Backup economies? That got modded as +5 insightful? So we forgo all the benefits of trading between nations and then if our economy has a problem, what, we just yank it out and use Canada's as a backup? Of course, it's so simple. Why didn't we think of making a backup economy years ago?
Are you really so uninformed as to believe the majority of the people in this world have a deep understandings of the workings of their own legal systems let alone all the particulars of the legal systems of all the other countries of the world?
Or did it just seem like a convenient time to bash the ignorant Americans and get modded up for it?

Actually, my mistake, this is the correct link:
Microsoft Corporation Contracts
The initial search (linked in parent) for some reason included the "United States Government" in the search results for Microsoft as a parent company.
You mean something like this?
Microsoft Contracts
I mean come on, the search by contractors was only one click from the main page ;)

Flamebait? Has this become youtube where no comment is outrageous enough not to be taken seriously by someone? Lighten up =P

Who is Microsoft (or RIAA/MPAA) to overrule the supreme court and say "nope; not allowed".
I didn't realize Microsoft had jailed people for doing so thereby overruling the supreme court. Where are these MS prisons?
Something not being illegal != All software must be capable of allowing a user to do that something.

Ah yes, I remember the dark time before internet-connected ovens where cooking and looking at porn were separate actives. Thank God for NASA.
