By tracking the various mouse movements on the page, and every key that might be entered, and the timing it takes between movements or keypresses, I can analyze that persons emotional relationship towards my web page. Some people might be angry, and thus have more spelling mistakes in their rage, or some people might be tender, loving, and caring, caressing the page softly and gently with their mouse.
Everyone has different habits and express their feelings towards web pages in different ways. I can easily tell who is visitting my site based on how they are visitting my site.
Michael Geist is like the skinny short Brunette in all the Slasher flicks from the 90's. He's always shouting "YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS" but everyone else is like the dumb Jock who isn't afraid of a guy with a knife and ends up getting diced into french fries.
So - the only opinion you really need to form is whether ACTA is metaphorically a serial killer. It hides under the same deceptive mask of Anonymity, so we don't actually know very much about it.
I don't mind Apple trying new things, but I fail to see what this device has going for it that is essentially "New".
It sounds like it'll be either an IPhone thats too big to fit in my pocket, or a small, touchscreen Netbook, Whereas I don't particularily have a need. If it doesn't fit in my pocket, it goes in a bag. If I'm putting it in a bag, the bag is about the size of a brief case. I don't see where in my adventures it'll be any more practical for me to pull out a tablet than it will be to pull out a Macbook.
I honestly think Microsofts Touch-Table-Top-Screen-Thing has more applications than this. But all in all, they are both "Meh" products.
Chinese government has full control inside the country, except at the offices of Google.
No, they really don't. They've essentially managaed to build a wall around China (Both physically and now digitally, haha) However what goes on inside those walls is not as "under control" as they would have you believe.
The point remains that it is not their religion that is driving them towards these acts, its terrorists who want to attack the states, using Religion as a way to do so.
Bin Laden and his crew were spreading the rumour that the US is over there to crush the Muslim religion and occupy the country. We over here have been told its a hunt for insurgents. The views vary greatly depending on who you ask. It unified a lot of the people against the US Military.
Which is why over here we get this impression that it is a violent religion, when its no more violent then any other one. Back in the Crusades, when Christianity took over Jerusalem, they butchered every Man woman and child of Muslim origin. When the Muslims took it back, they let those who surrendered safe passage to the ocean, escorted even. On the other hand, Islam had some rough beginnings; a bunch of assassinations when it first started.
Personally, if you had to be afraid of one or the other, I'd vote Christians. Most of the people in the Middle East just want to raise their kids to have an education, like us in North America. If one man organized enough people to attack the states, how difficult would it be to destroy the refineries in Iraq?
If it were North American Christians dying at the hands of the Iraqi Army, you can bet the Average American with a gun in his home might be a little insurgent to the new regime rolling in. Especially if an underground group (like the KKK) was able to add a little organization to it.
Believe in Religion or not, its the world we live in where it has a huge effect on our lives. I prefer not to take a side but still believe in spirituality.
We would like to take this moment to point out to all viewers that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all worship the same 1 higher being. They have, in the past, lived in peace with each other.
If it were not for the Israelis and Palestinians fighting over a piece of land, there would be very little war today that would even involve religion as an anecdote. The States picked a side in a religious conflict thousands of miles away, and ever since then any of their actions have been percieved as religious in nature. Terrorists are given a voice by exploiting these facts.
You only begin to realize how ridiculous the notion is when you know that those 3 religions are from the same fundamental background (monotheism) and that Islamic Terrorists are attacking fellow Monotheists ACROSS THE GLOBE instead of those crazy Buddhist, Toaist, or Confucians right next door to their east.
Well thats why I'm wondering. Its no longer a native app - they're saying its a web app. Meaning you access it... Through the Web... So I imagine its like browsing the net on your IPhone.
Personally I couldn't care less. I think there is an issue in the way the Chinese Government is run. If it takes some underhanded tactics to change things over there I'm all for it.
I gave up the idea of righteousness and honour when the US marched through Afghanistan into Iraq. No need to be Idealist when you aren't in control.
I certainly didn't think it was the Chinese because the attacks supposedly originated in China. I thought it was the Chinese because it was after the accounts of Chinese Human rights activists.
Unless THAT part can get discredited, I will still point my finger.
Yeah I haven't checked lately but I remember some of them running over 300 dollars.
I've seen them break though, just as easily, though its usually in the blade. Wooden sticks tend to break in the shaft, and their biggest downside is that they splinter, sending wooden shards just about everywhere, pretty dangerous.
I've found that this kind of stuff is prevalent throughout all grades of school - and it annoys the hell out of me. I have a room-mate who went to the same school I did, one Grade Behind me. We both took full physics and chem 30 in high school. We were playing 1 vs 100 one night (It was actually like this weekend) and one of the questions was "The Quantum Particle known as the Gluon has an effect which force?" (or something to that effect) and the answers were A) Gravity B) Magnetism C) Strong Force.
Turns out the answer was Strong Force. Now I had learned an incredible amount of how Gravity works in Physics, and a lot about Magnetism as well. We learned what the strong force was but not really how it operated, we had learned about the Weak force in Chemistry. My room mate came home like 20 seconds after the question, and I went "Man, if only you were home a minute ago, you could have helped me with some serious science and math questions". And he asks what one was and I told him the answer. I know my room mate is big on Quantum Mechanics and all that stuff, he reads about it in his spare time, so thats how I knew he would know.
And he looked at me with an arched eyebrow, all "You don't know what a Gluon is? That was in like, High School, Dude."
Turns out his curriculum covered that stuff, mine didn't. I learned more about the Electromagnetic Spectrum and the way light acts/reacts. And all in the change of 1 year. Kind of weird how these things work out.
A Composite Hockey stick shatters just like anything else.
In fact, some players still prefer Wooden hockey sticks because they offer a different flex:sturdiness ratio.
While I'm sure a spacecraft is much different then a stick designed for repeated contact with Ice and Rubber, I wouldn't be surprised if this CCM doesn't do as well as they predict.
Everything can be started in offline mode. Then once in the game in offline mode you can flick your internet back on and play online if you want.
There are a handful of ways to get around Steam - one of them being just what I described. The reason it will always try and launch steam when you try to launch a game is not just for authentication reasons, but you are paying for the ability to use the Steam Overlay in the game of your choice.
If you think you've outwitted their grandmaster scheme, pulled the hood away from your eyes, you were wrong to begin with.
You know where the REAL money is: Dead Programming languages.
You learn how to use Cobol - and then you spend the time searching for the ONE company in your city still using it, you go to him and say "I can keep things running exactly how they used to be."
Yeah it basically went down like that - I said "Hey!" and he said "Hi" - and I basically had a spiel about how its been a while to which he responded "Yeah I know". So then I asked him how things were lately and he began to describe his day. I of course had my small juts here and there "Oh yeah.... That's cool... Like how?" and then he asked "How about you?" so then I went on about my current stuff.
Only after all of that did he hang up and glance over.

The first 2 parts of Spore are like Horizontal Evolution, and the later parts are all vertical.
It makes perfect sense. Clearly Will Wright is a genius.
Simple. Make the guard the DM?

I kept reading "Prisons" instead of Prions and was dumbfounded beyond belief.
I looked away from my screen for a minute imagining the possibilities. Then I looked back, noticed my mistake, and felt like an idiot.
And thats why I'm posting; I'd like to share my idiocy with you.
Now that is interesting.
what [if] their religion really IS wrong?

If I run out of minutes I can use my data package?
If I had an Iphone, which I don't...
Yeah, I'm not sure if he was doing a Shatner Impression, Or, if his keyboard, is, broken, somehow.
Personally I couldn't care less. I think there is an issue in the way the Chinese Government is run. If it takes some underhanded tactics to change things over there I'm all for it.

Thats not good Spirit. *awaits laughter*
Exactly. Thread over. Nothing else to say.

As long as the instructions it comes with are better than Ikea's...

And bam, you can demand any salary you want.
We'll just adapt.
I mean time goes slower when you're closer to a black hole, amiright?
(in theory)
Yeah it basically went down like that - I said "Hey!" and he said "Hi" - and I basically had a spiel about how its been a while to which he responded "Yeah I know".
