Consider this - for those of you modded parent "Troll" or "Funny":
Bin Laden, is what Donald Trump calls "a member of the lucky sperm club" (Trump himself is a member) - someone who was born into a very rich family. Now, I don't know about you folks, but if I were born into a rich family I'd get into the family business, become a full-time Linux hacker, do charity work - like help Palesinians maybe?, or even try being a jet set playboy. NOT killing civilians to get the Satan out of the Holy Land.
Bin Laden is so full of hate that he can't think clearly - he's basically insane with rage. He could have channeled that into a productive rage - use his resources to show American and Israeli injustices towards the Palestinians and Arab injustices towards the Palestinians. He could have been the World's greatest peaceful champion of Islam and shown the World what Islam is about.
But he didn't.
He turned to violence and hate.
The US turned him into that one might say. I'd like to point out that he's a grown man and can think for himself. Blaming the US is complete horseshit.
What happens when the system is compromised? How do I change my password?
Or worse, what if Osama Bin Laden (or any other terorist) get's to insert his bio information into an Israeli citizen's profile? Now, Bin Laden has a valid Bio-Informatic ID in Israel. If he shaved off his beard, I couldn't tell him apart. It's been years since I've seen a photo of him. He'd get away with being Bernie Horowitz.
notes in his affidavit that "the record labels have devoted insufficient resources for identifying and paying the owners of musical works on the pending lists." The CRIA members now face the prospect of far greater liability.
I'm assuming that the CRIA is basically the Canadian branch of the RIAA, or at least affiliated with it?
So, let me get this straight, those people can track down some college kid over the whole internet, what was probably using some dynamically assigned IP address, who may have moved a few times, etc.. and the CRIA can't find Bruce Springstein or even some lesser known artist because they haven't allocated enough resources?
Toastmasters is a club that is for public speaking. During a meeting, there is a time where you maybe called upon to talk about a topic that's pulled out of thin air to teach you how to think and speak on your feet, you have speaking assignments to get a certification, and you get to critique others speaking. Some clubs from what I understand, are so big that you hardly ever get to speak so "shop" around clubs. Also, it's pretty G- rated.
I was also thinking that the pilots are brothers and their parents told them : "(pointing to the first son)You get that side of the plane and you (pointing to the other kid) get that side of the plane and you will stay there or so help me!"
Looking at the design of the plane, I see what looks like two cockpits on either side of the plane. Now, is this to pacify the pilots so that both are flying left seat or is it to bust the union so that both are flying right seat and therefore neither is pilot in command and therefore isn't entitled to captain's pay.
Just wondering.
No, it couldn't be a design feature to carry that little rocket plane.
And because cloaks that shield longer wavelengths of light are easier to make, first successes came with microwaves — whose radiation can be measured in inches.
My name is M. Ahmadinejad, Jr. I think Iran and it's Government are extremely corrupt, anti-Islamic, and a horrible place. The Iranian people deserve better than the lying cheating sack of shits that run the government - especially, the Mullahs - at least that's what my Dad told me.
Mathew White is ALL over the internet and news wires. Even if the prosecutors say they were mistaken and drop the charges, this poor bastard is already fucked.
He will never get employment and maybe he will even get killed by a vigilante who knows the kid is guilty.
And for those of you named Mathew White, you're going to have to deal with it too on some level - people like to jump to conclusions.
Matt is pleading guilty on the advice of his public defender in hopes of getting a three and a half year sentence.
In other words, he doesn't have the money to actually fight this.
Many public defenders are lawyers called upon by the courts and they're not making the billable hours they need by doing it. So, the quicker they get rid of the case the more apt they are to get back to business.
Regardless of what happens now. The kid's life is over. His name is all over the place and employers who do any sort of background check will find this.
He will have to spend the rest of his life on some sort of public aid. He may become a bitter angry person that cannot contribute to society even if he wants to contribute. What a goddamn waste.
There are many poor nations - many of them island nations - that are pressing the World governments for compensation for damage caused by global climate change. Many folks (AM Radio guys take this route especially) consider this to be just a back handed wealth transfer program - hence the much of the hostility towards global warming.
There are many billions of dollars potentially at stake based on what the outcome of the global warming studies.
As always, this isn't about lives or quality of life - it's about money.
What time zone are you in? If you're in the States - East Coast, well, starting the party early?
England, it's what, 11:13PM now? And you're pretty piss drunk about now.
Now, if you're on the West coast, it's 3:14PM - off work early?
If you're in the Midwest, I'd be pretty drunk too at this time every day.
Over in Hawaii, dude, having a hell of a lunch are we?
Japan. Ah, drunkedsan! An eye opener for your Saturday before you go into work?
China - what, the government has put a gun to your head and you have to drink!
And if you're in Europe, well, it's in the middle of the night - a weekend night - so, have a good time er, you're blacked out about now so, never mind...
There’s footage of she and her relatives singing to her sister, she said. “We sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her in the theater,” Tumpach said.
“You can hear me talking the whole time,” Tumpach said.
All of this in a theater. And it doesn't say if they rented it out exclusively, meaning there were other paying patrons trying to watch the fucking movie
She should get the death penalty or, if I'm feeling really really pissed, have her listen to my mother complain why I don't call enough.
Amazon: that 70% (gross) of the price of an electronic copy of a book that has an marginal cost approaching zero is just about all profit.
I'm pretty sure that amazon has to kick some cash over to the wireless carrier(Sprint) to cover whispernet. And maintenance on the servers, IT guys saleries, etc. The biggest piece being the payment to Sprint.
I am sure of that and agree. I hope I didn't give the impression that Amazon had no costs associated with the distribution of the Kindle books. But do you really think that overhead adds on that much cost - as much as an individual store has to apportion to the books they have to sell?
An individual store has to pay their overhead with the thousands of books under their roof. Whereas with regards to the e-books, the cost of the bandwidth, servers, IT salaries and other infrastructure costs dedicated or apportioned to the Kindle stuff is pennies per "book". Based upon the odd data I've been seeing in the business press, I really believe that Amazon is making a killing on Kindle.
the left. I like to read about both sides of an issue, but sometimes, some of their columnists can be a bit over over the top and just as bad as some of the commentators on Fox - only on the left.
The paywall didn't bother me at all - it gave me time to get a cup of coffee or eliminate a previous cup of coffee.

I have difficulty seeing how this universe can be made to function effectively...
Well for one thing, controlling the Universe is a God complex.
The other is, we can't do anything to make the Universe function correctly until the Cosmologists figure it out.
Geeze!

Careful now, you know how literal these sciency types can be.

No, see you got modded "Flamebait".
Here, let me give you some tips of where you could've gone with it:
See?
Richard M. Stallman, Eric S. Raymond, Linus Torvalds, and Bruce Schneier on Microsoft's board.
I don't see them there.

They'll give you plenty of practice.

The last line I think is kind of fitting in regards to some of the Persians that are caught up in this horse shit Government.
The thing that sickens me though, Iran did have a democracy until a certain super power put in their Shah because he was friendly to them.
My name is M. Ahmadinejad, Jr. I think Iran and it's Government are extremely corrupt, anti-Islamic, and a horrible place. The Iranian people deserve better than the lying cheating sack of shits that run the government - especially, the Mullahs - at least that's what my Dad told me.

You might as well declare Al Gore the Global Warming Pope and set up a church in Copenhagen.
He's Baptist - no can do.

She should get the death penalty or, if I'm feeling really really pissed, have her listen to my mother complain why I don't call enough.
The infliction of cruel and unusual punishment is in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
You're right. Having her listen to my mother is a bit over-reacting.
There’s footage of she and her relatives singing to her sister, she said. “We sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her in the theater,” Tumpach said.
