I spent 16 months searching for roadside bombs in Iraq. I know plenty about terrorists.
A terrorist is someone who does something to strike fear into someone for the purpose of getting them to do something. Stop trying to rile up fear in everyone else.
You have not thought this out. Stop, take a breath and think the shit out. Because I'm telling you if the terrorists really wanted to kill people, then the joke of a TSA wouldn't stop them. All the TSA does is makes us feel all warm and fuzzy. You apparently feel rather warm and fuzzy.
Judging from the Alaskans I'm familiar with (the Palin clan), you guys are all fucking idiots that fly around and shoot animals from helicopters for fun and profit.
You are also unsure of what a newspaper is.
See stereotypes work both ways:-)
Note: I lived in AK for a few years, so I know this stuff isnt true. I also grew up in Georgia, and frankly I'm of the opinion that there are racists everywhere. The ones in GA seem more out in the open with it though.
If the crooked politicians (You know the ones the fine citizens of Louisiana elected.) siphoned the money off before it ever reached the levy builders, then you cant really blame the levy builders.
No the people building million dollar homes on the banks of a river that floods yearly, are the failures here.
If they released water at the wrong time of the year it could wreck havoc on the fish population, which would result in people complaining that the corps is a failure for letting the fish die that the fishermen depended on.
Rock and a hard place. Frankly the fact that they have been able to control as much flooding as they have, with the resources they have speaks volumes.
In our country at this time we dont seem to want to fund our infrastructure. So when it cannot meet our needs, do we blame ourselves for not paying for stronger levies? No, we blame the people who have done the most with the least, because we failed to pay for the damn shit.
I personally expect to see more complaints like this, when our bridges fail, and our damns fail, and our power systems fail. I can see it now, asshats like you saying "Those damn (Insert government agency) failed to build a damn in the 40s that could last 70 years."
You don't spit into the wind. Why not its pointless.
I get your sarcasm, all I'm saying is that people can get mad all they want, its just not going to make much of a difference. Feel free to continue to correct people if you wish. Good luck.
My point is that it doesn't really matter in the long run.
People will call it what they will. Yelling at them that they are calling it the wrong thing will only make you look like an anti-social geek. Its like the people who refer to their tower as the cpu, or the ones who refer to the hard drive as memory. You can correct them all day long, it doesnt matter though. If there are enough people then eventually the term gets redefined. Language evolves, not much a few people can do about it.
Good cops should stop protecting the bad ones then. If they are good cops then they would be fighting for justice, irregardless if the injustice comes from inside or outside their department.
If you need sources for "good" cops protecting bad ones, a Google search will easily supply relevant results.
Seriously though, the entire OS is known as "Linux" not just the kernel. Is it correct to refer to the entire os as Linux? Maybe not. It happens though, and you just made yourself out to be a pedantic troll.
WTF 350k back child support?!? Whos the daddy Bill Gates?
It would take me nearly ten years to pay that, if I payed every single cent I made for the next ten years. I cannot reasonably believe that 350k is a just amount.
Your first paragraph can be summed up as "My one data point is so much more trustworthy then thousands of scientists." I refuse to address this point because it cannot even stand up on its own.
Your second paragraph says that scientists should instead focus on making another planet habitable. SO scientists can terraform an entire planet, but we as humans cannot cause any inadvertent change in our own environment? That is the argument du jour. That the changes we are seeing are completely natural. If there is no possibility that we as humans have caused these changes, then what hope to we have to terraform a entire planet.
To use a slashdot favorite heres a car analogy. I can probably fix a lot of little things on my car, but I don't have much of a hope building one from scratch. The Earth is our car, it is so much easier to fix what we got, then it is to build a new one.
That doesn't even touch on the fact that this generation, and I'm willing to guess the next few generations, will never live on another planet/moon in large numbers.
This has nothing to do with being conservative, this has to do with ignoring science in favor of a gut feeling.
He was complaining about the name, if you were to read the conclusions page you would notice that he didn't exactly roast Ubuntu over hot coals.
15 frigging page review you read the first half a page and determine its not balanced. Don't karma whore for the " I RTFA" karma if you didn't read the fucking article.
Look up the difference in one party and two party states.
In a one party state you dont need permission to record anyone unless they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, like they are alone or they are in their house.

Fine 12 years.
Quit being pedantic.
Didn't ya know that a carpenter is really a chiropractor? They just cure subluxations in trees!!
Funny note: Firefox says subluxations isn't spelled properly. So it must be made up.
Then how come recces hasn't sued all the people mixing chocolate and peanut butter?
Putting together two things together which already exist isn't an invention, and shouldn't be patentable.
Note: I know recces prob wasn't the first, you get the point though.

Seriously?
The problem is you think that is a plausible outcome.
Why havent the scary scary terrorists placed a bomb somewhere else, you know someplace heavily populated and w/o the scanners?
Because there arent as many of them as you think there is.
The cancer has been preapproved, and all approved cures are available in the app store.
Also, if you have to get up during the night, does that count?
Naw, you are on call.
You are from AK right Marc?

Actually his comment seems more relevant then your trollish comment.
Is that the corps' problem?
If the crooked politicians (You know the ones the fine citizens of Louisiana elected.) siphoned the money off before it ever reached the levy builders, then you cant really blame the levy builders.

Lol I didn't make the original comment.
Pay attention.
Good advice, follow it.
Good cops should stop protecting the bad ones then. If they are good cops then they would be fighting for justice, irregardless if the injustice comes from inside or outside their department.
If you need sources for "good" cops protecting bad ones, a Google search will easily supply relevant results.
Whats your point?
Seriously though, the entire OS is known as "Linux" not just the kernel. Is it correct to refer to the entire os as Linux? Maybe not. It happens though, and you just made yourself out to be a pedantic troll.
That is if you never use the plan.
The second you start using it the co pays and the deductible increases start to add up.
Your nothing but a fucking troll, spewing your shit over and over again. Get the fuck over yourself and remember that not everyone is as lucky as you.

Yea, the research universities use data from tired overworked coasties.
Not.
Anyways, even if you guys made up all of the data statistically some of the data would trend in the other direction also wouldnt it?
Have you thought this through?
No, OK. That explains alot.
Spot on IMHO.
I'm sorry sir, but your account has been frozen.
We dont agree with you politically so any money you had in your account now belongs to us.
Have a wonderful day,
Friendly PayPal rep.
