and if they do it too often they risk being disbarred. On the plus side, with how long it's taking good ol' Jack Thompson to get disbarred, a lawyer may die of old age before it actually happens.
George Carlin: Here's one they just made up: "near miss". When two planes almost collide, they call it a near miss. It's a near hit. A collision is a near miss.
Someone could die in this office and nobody would notice for a week. Sounds like your company could stand to update it's ventilation. We had a guy die here and no one noticed for almost 3 weeks, thanks to a new air filtering system.
There is a difference between thinking something is a good thing and having no fucking clue whatsoever because you're too concerned about either superficial bullshit (ie, Britney, Paris, etc) or concerned with figuring out how to pay to feed your family, keep the heat on, etc etc.
"Mainstream" America is a class system. Unfortunately, compared to other historical class systems, it's becoming a 3-way system, haves, have-nots, and have mores taking from both while neither are the wiser.
Did you stop to consider, maybe, just POSSIBLY, that to the citizens of those other countries, right now we're seen as a terrorist threat by them? I mean we don't have to worry about another sovereign nation dropping fucking bombs on us because some fuckwad mistook my last name for the guy in the next town over and blows me and my family up.
I say we get rid of drivers licensing. Any form of state issued ID is no diff than the Real ID. Having a photo ID card to prove you passed a driver safety class is one thing. Having it to prove you're "someone" is another. Government shouldn't be tracking or "licensing" individuals in a supposedly free society.
But it makes it easier! Tough shit. You want to live in a free society, there are no shortcuts. Put down the fucking remote control and take control. Standards are great for things like science and computers, but this is standardizing and stipulating who can and cannot. That's bullshit.
You forget the fact that it isn't politicians who actually operate these fuckin' programs too. It's low paid grunts who get access to this data. It's usually also kept away from oversight for abuse. It's a fuckin' joke to even consider.
Yes, I'm pissed off. Mostly because it feels so fuckin' hopeless. Generations of lazy, self serving, greedy, brain dead fucks have sat by and let things get fucked up. Now the children, who they're always talking on about helping, are the ones who get to have their lives poked, prodded and peered in upon.
Here's what I wish would exist on the web: Empirical data and the dissemination thereof. This whole "web as a social tool" is simply turning into another leash like television, where we get to be inundated with ads and the same bullshit we're spoon fed on TV, in the newspaper, magazines, billboards (well I don't have cable and conveniently have no local reception at my house).
They aren't viewing the web a new useful tool just another way to slap their mantra all over everything to swing the tools out there who don't realize the Republicrats are the same party.
I really don't want any more opinion polls, exit polls, or overly broad trite bullshit being put all over the web. Too bad we're already fucked. What's worse is the "nerd" crowd seems to be reveling in it because now they're little clique-y thing is just as hip and cool as football games were.
I want to qualify people's opinions through the election of candidates that will actually do something. Not by "Do you think Fred Thompson looked tired and puffy eyed?" Why do you want to even try to "qualify" that crap ("Romney looks young") as a useful opinion?
So does this mean cocaine will be made legal now? I mean if we can simply stop someone who is/has ruined their life, anyone who casually uses need not be persecuted.
(I've worked in a drug rehab facility and know a lot of counselors/specialists in the field. There are those that use but don't abuse. Same as with weed.)
Didn't we just see an article yesterday about what's wrong with the media?
I speculate that $COMPANY will announce $NEW_PRODUCT at CES. I have no proof, no statements by the indicated players, and I just smoked a garbage bag full of weed.
If an individual can't recoup their investment within 5 years, especially with the Internet, they should probably apply at McDonald's. Just because you're a starving artist doesn't mean you should get a guaranteed advantage. That's your choice.

But since CSS doesn't control access to the work very effectively, therefor it's not covered by the DMCA?
Read by accident? Wtf are you the Micro Machines guy of speed reading?
*blink*
Ah, fuck! I read that guys post card!
Except it says what would you do if elected as president. Not what would you do if you were elected to replace the entirety of Congress.
clicky
When do we start bombing the religious zealots in this country for oppressing their people?

Assholes.
Yes but the difference being, dead people aren't potential consumers.
Will it be an ale or a lager?
I hope it's a lager so I can take it to a ball game.
They simply raided two of their 416GB drives :)

They should toss patent abusers into solitaire... confinement.
Ouch.

Or since you can get 2 coupons worth 40$ each you mean 80$

If you read the link, it actually mentions forum postings that they deleted or discussed being sure were deleted to avoid litigation
