Alternatively just send lots of porn to people via their FlashMail, go on chat rooms spouting porn, sending mail to people over and over again, they will cancel your account on TOS. Of course only use as a last resort, but it'll likely get results once people start complaining about you.
Exactly, it's like I always said of Slack Linux: It's not easy (to most, I suppose), you have to do your homework but everything will work. Sometimes I am without something for a few days but if I use google groups and read docs everything will work from my Laserjet and TV Tuner (when I had it) to webcam and hi res (1600x1200) monitor.
LIke another poster said, it's a straight up Linux distro, not compromises.
Although "hate-crime" legislation has been championed by minority groups in hopes it would discourage racially motivated crime, a recently released FBI crime report reveals that a higher percentage of blacks than whites are charged with race-biased "hate crimes."
The FBI's "Hate Crime Statistics" for 1999 show that 2,030 whites were arrested that year for "hate crimes" against blacks, compared to 524 blacks who were arrested and charged with a "hate crime" against whites.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, blacks make up 12.8 percent of the population -- or about 35.4 million of the country's 280 million people -- so, given the arrest rate versus population percentage, the data indicates that blacks are one-and-a-half times more likely to be arrested for a "hate crime" than whites.
The Census Bureau's November 2000 statistics listed the nation's white population at 226.8 million, or 82.2 percent of the total.
I don't either. It is just that crimes against gays and blacks are the vast majority of what get classified as hate crimes so you have to talk about the issues as they exist or you can get lost in metaphors.
So they would have you think. It turns out about 90% of hate crime prosecutions are those who commit crimes against whites.. disproportionate even to the fact that the minorities have lower populations than the majority race.
Is it just me or isn't it obvious that the terrorists who take out the NYC and / or other metropolitan area cell phone networks, disrupting the economy, will not be around when the cell phone bill arrives, or at least bankruptcy isn't their #1 worry? If terrorists crashed planes into tall towers without worrying about commands from ground control, how are they going to worry about per-message SMS charges when attacking major economic hubs?
What? How did you find this out (I didn't RTFA if that's relevant (I know enuff about Ashkenazim)), and is dementia possibly more likely among us/them because of genetic causes?
This would explain a lot. (I have Ashkenazi heritage and am pretty smart. I also have mental disease(s), and have been told that I'm at higher risk of triggering serious side effects if I get on a certain medication, and would have to have extra monitoring via blood tests).
I bet those of us on the coast or near bodies of water have a better shot at finding our homes in fewer clicks. This is especially the case when you live on a big island along the coastline.
IIRC, there was such as case as you describe, where the government was denying the existence of such a place. Only the defendants at one point had lawyers who basically said "This place does exist. We can walk you to a hill where you can see it from a distance. It's viewable by anyone." And so the judge and so forth went out to actually see the place. I remember seeing this on a program perhaps the discovery channel.
Anyhow, after this fiasco, it is said that top-security missions were moved elsewhere, for obvious reasons.
No, from what I can tell the 50 invites are standard. Makes you wonder why they're keeping it concealed at all, if everyone sends out invites to all their contacts who in the world is left without gmail access?
No doubt. The problem is that we tend to view "our" way as being the only way, paradoxically, even among Hindus (where there is literally a pantheon).
I know the phenomenon you are talking about, if I'm right it works for each person too, and his age, race, nation, time (modern vs ancient, even decades), planet, its all correct or 'the one.' and theres little perspective from the outside. So its only natural it would apply to religion.
That arrogance, coupled with the need to "save" others that don't think like you is what I was referring to.
Personally I like to try to get people to be afterlife-agnostic, that's as far as I'll go unless they're a close friend. In that case I may suggest that they stop things that I deem would be bad for their future welfare with all the qualities of a friend to back me up (trust, past events), but I never try to make a convert.
I can't believe that this conversation is on/.
Well, I'm sort of a closet Buddhist, so this is how my interaction is starting out again instead of defending Linux or speculating about planets in space, but now that I think of it Slashdot doesn't exactly cover 'everything' (to say the least) so I guess you're right.
Isn't one of the stages (of insight) along the Buddhist path "knowledge and vision?"
Didn't the Buddha talk about how thoughts of sensuality, ill will, and harmfulness blind us, but thoughts of renunciation, non-ill will (to be understood as not just absence of ill will but positive qualities of love and generosity), and harmlessness produce knowledge and vision?
Why yes, he did. In fact, right intention, one path factor of eight on the Buddhist path, is composed of intention to develp thoughts on each of these. How anyone following the Buddhist path could blind themselves with their religion (or way of life, whatever you like to call it), by practising it with intentions of gaining the goal is beyond me.
Remeber your ancient TNT graphics card that had 16MB of memory?
No. I am still using the ATI All in Wonder that I found mispriced at $30 instead of $180 at CompUSA (and they had no problem giving it to me at the lower price, even when I informed them about it). It must be from the late 90s, cause I have upgraded just about all my stuff except my speakers since I got my computer in 98, but that has remained the same. It has 8 MB of memory.
And yet I have now gotten a Viewsonic monitor, which the card can keep running at 1600x1200/87/16 bpp flawlessly, plus the card's TV tuner lets me watch all the Knicks games (or whatever I prefer, I don't watch much TV these days) I want on the 21" screen that tops out my old 13" TV set.
I see no reason to buy a new graphics card. (If I weren't a pure coder, maybe I'd upgrade it for games, but I generally dont do much gaming, certainly not anything mainstream.)
The real kicker is, if I had sent in the $20 rebate, all this would have cost me only $10.

Doesn't sound that far off...
I use the word to my father when he gets uppity and asks me too many insignificant questions about things during the day. "Chill, relax, chillax."
Hey, I'm pretty intelligent but I'm also a religious nutcase. Which side do you suppose I should now take? (I'm not Christian)
Slashdot's front page is dessimated by bad advertising or web design. Even after reloading. Does anyone else see this?

Reminds me of Kerplunk!, Hungry Hungry Hippo, Dizzy (Dizzy) Dinosaur, Chutes and Ladders, and Mouse Trap.
