This works better than you think, or worked I should say. A friend of mine did it for a year or two with an empty house across the street from his (this is back in the AOL days), he eventually got caught by one person and was forced to pay them back $250 that he charged on their stolen card number. That doesnt make up for the $1000s he got prior to getting caught. He actually bought a CRATE of Sega Saturns when they were first released. He would order stuff on a stolen card number and just watch the porch for delivery, then go and get the packages. I dont know what he did with most of the stuff he ordered, because this was before eBay or Craigslist as well.
Yes, I think it's a big deal, and I'm vocal about it. I have a problem with injustice and oppression, and that's what I see this as. People like you mocked MLK, Jr., Rosa Parks and Gandhi as well...but the world is a better place because of them. Consequently, if you have nothing intelligent to add to this discussion, kindly screw off.
You're right up there with them. Damn are you delusional, not only in your view of yourself, but of the world in general. I added something intelligent to the conversation, realism. You can leave me behind when you big revolution starts, I won't be holding my breath.
Don't be too concerned, the guy you are responding to can't post on/. without freaking out about the TSA and their policies. It's like he lives for it. I can't believe he didn't bring his feelings...er, um, I mean evidence, about himself and his family's dealings with the TSA searches / inspections in to his original post to "support" his argument. He just can't get over it, and apparently has a serious phobia about people seeing him or touching him for some nonesense search that is designed to invade everyone's privacy and does nothing for safety, hence, we should all go running for the hills. Its not humiliating and it really is not a big deal, pat downs or the full body scans. People like him need to stay put, beneath the rock they live under.
Give them dreams. Give them a reason, a desire, a longing to do something great. When they get older, let them think through high-school about building star-ships or finding cures to perplexing diseases or even world peace.
Doing this simply gives kids the tools, but no motivation to use them. They will be intelligent, but unmotivated workers; willing to maintain the status quo, but not to improve it.
These are American kids, thats exactly what they are supposed to do, maintain the status quo.
Shut up. Not now. I'm busy.
These are words that should never be uttered by a parent to a child. Why? Because it promptly snuffs the flame of curiosity. Most parents don't even realise they're doing it. They're just too absorbed in whatever they're doing to notice what they've just said to their curious 3 year old.
I'll take a body scan, you drive. I guess I'm not filled with fear because my dick is longer than an inch. You might be interested in reading about the new screening software that makes your disgusting body an outline instead of an "actual" picture. Now you can stop crying about your rights.
There is surely no way that you could hide explosives within your body cavities? Wouldn't matter if it was uncomfortable or dangerous, as you will be dying along with the rest of the passengers. Might sound nasty, but a tampon...hell a maxi-pad made out of an explosive substance? Airplanes have quite thin walls, the proper substance wouldn't take much to punch a nice size hole and kill a few innocent people.
I'll take full body scans for everyone, and if declined, physical body searches, even if its only for the illusion of safety. Reading TFA, this lady sounds like she is REALLY exaggerating. Plus, she probably made such a scene that they got tired of her antics.
It's odd, but I specifically remember the days of computing where you got exactly what you paid for. For example, a double-speed CD-ROM drive performed at the promised 300kb/s rate, no matter the manufacturer. I think we have largely gotten away from that in modern times, unfortunately.
I'm glad that now I know my extra money for the recent fee increases goto Netflix themselves, not to pay for content. I've been a NetFlix member for more than 10 years now, but I'm not so sure how much longer thats going to last.
Lucky you.
My wife and my step-daughter have BOTH been fondled at airports. I have had to boot laptops. My step-daughter was asked to go through the electronic nudie-scope on her last flight, and told TSA no.
Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it isn't happening, and it definitely doesn't mean people shouldn't be incensed about TSA's abusive, degrading, demeaning security theater. If that makes me a "malcontent", so be it.
People just need to calm down about this, this really is NO BIG DEAL. Go through the damn nudie screenings, etc. I feel that it makes me safer, and I have a better chance to get to my destination un-murdered, than so be it. A good friend of mine put it best, who travels tens of thousands of miles a year, that "if they want to see the smallest penis in the world, so be it" and I think he is right. People need to relax about their private parts being seen on a scanner, so fucking what? Is your wife's saggy tits that much of a secret that god forbid she, or your step-daughter, can't do a screening? Dial it back a bit! I don't really enjoy it, its awkward, but no more awkward than my doctor examining my genitals, etc. They see hundreds of people a day in these scanners, trust me, they aren't masturbating to your family. If they are, you'll never know. If you don't see it, it doesn't exist.
They aren't perverts so they "fondled" them, you refused the screening. That was option two.
The "nudie scan" is much less intrusive, but its a moment of feeling awkward and living versus some other possibilities that I don't really like to think about. We have all seen dicks, tits and vaginas before (well, this is/., I may be getting ahead of myself), yours and those of your family is nothing special.
Honestly, I don't think this is the case. If you want to refer the English version to English speaking countries, there are plenty of potential articles missing. I've visited many of English speaking countries in the Caribbean, and there are many "stars" and tourist locations that have no entry at all. Also, I am a huge video gamer, and I love reading about what games really entertain me, and there are no detailed articles about them. If articles exist at all, they are very superficial and vague (not even containing what would be "census" type information for a game, including format, release year, etc). Granted, many of these games are off the beaten path and 20+ years old, but I find them to be no more or less relevant to gaming (and sales figures back it up) than, say, any Rogue-like or Ultima title.
So, you might ask, why don't I write any of these articles myself? To be honest, the negative discussions that infest the web about their editors and niches have completely turned me off to the idea. I'd love to write an amazing article, complete with information from sources that can be cited, etc. Why bother? If its going to get deleted or deemed not noteworthy, I just don't want to waste my time.
I really like your idea of Wikipedia, English version, being completed, but I think that is far from the case. If I think 3 pages on Creme Fraiche or Rockford, MI, is a waste, I know just as many people would think an article of that size on something as mundane as a Soca musician from Barbados, or Wrecking Crew for the NES is just a wasteful. I wish they would just let the writers decide what is relevant. If you want to post a large, unbiased, and well written article about Justin Beiber, shouldn't that be valued as a submission to the sum of human knowledge (or at least English speaking knowledge)? Human knowledge is not based on who decides what is important, its knowledge, plain and simple. I'd love to back you up on this idea, but I think the problem with Wikipedia is still the snobby admins, and the information around the internet that scares away people like me. I don't want to write a 12-page article, complete with citations, pictures, etc, just to have it deleted for non-relevancy because it was about Steven Segal. If I was ever in Rockford, MI, I know I would certainly appreciate the ability to access such an article. Its not about what it is, its about that it exists and is done properly.
The new Mortal Kombat does this, at least on PS3 (I don't know about 360), and it came out way back on April 19th. You have to use the passcode that comes with the game in order to access any online features such as multiplayer, or buy any online content. I believe it is $20 to get a new code from the Playstation Store if you buy a used copy. You're right, its not just Sony, its a convenient way to slant the issue spanning multiple publishers in order to demonize Sony a bit more.

Must be hard to eat.
False Idols would be my guess!
It was mine, sorry, I didn't notice I wasn't logged in. I was irritated then, and still am.
Agreed.

I am a good looking female.
I find, more often then not, most women who say this are indeed the opposite. Especially in amatuer-porno...have you seen some of these people? Damn!

Check the latest uploads in https://www.youtube.com/user/SesameStreet ... They even have two major The Big Bang Theory actors in it!
Thanks for the heads up, no I won't click the link!

I can see you don't have kids.
They can save plenty of man-hours because the diagnosis will be simple for 90% of patients - gunshot or stab wound.
I wanted to make sure it wasn't April 1st.

Don't fly then, asshole. I'll get throught the lines quicker.

All the Slashdot complainers who want to whine about people's "rights" being violated for REFUSING a body scan in 3...2...1....

Its obvious, he is dying. Look him up on TMZ. Its not marketing, it not anything more than mortality.

I believe they had an episode containing this a few years back, still entertaining though.
