I can't speak for Christians (myself not being one), but there are *definitely* disadvantages to being white.
For example, the RCMP is *required* to take non-white applicants first, even though in most areas whites are becoming the MINORITY.
Another example is a strip-mall nearby (~8-12 businesses). The owners decided to refuse to renew the leases of any business not run by Koreans and then proceeded to replace ALL of those businesses with *identical* businesses (hair dresser vs Korean hair dresser, etc) run by Koreans. This stunt made it into the local papers numerous times, but nothing happened. I *guarantee* that had a white person tried to kick out all asian stores and replace them with white equivalents, there would have been hell to pay! Had they simply been bringing in Korean-oriented (food, culture stuff, not insurance companies, etc) businesses, there wouldn't have been such an issue, but they replaced them with *identical* businesses, just with Korean owners and workers. *** Disclaimer. I have NOTHING against Koreans, it just happened that this land-lord was Korean and this is what they did.
I'm not saying there are no disadvantages to being black/asian/etc, but society is definitely not "favouring the white guy" like it used to 10 years ago.
Isn't there some kind of law in Florida about releasing the arrest record of a minor? Or is it only the police that are bound by that (which they obviously did a TERRIBLE job of preventing).
Just move to Canada and stop worrying about software patents.
It's very nice here. As long as I start from scratch (and check licenses on things I do copy/use) I can sleep soundly at night knowing nobody can suddenly go "AHA, you re-implemented something I created 10 years ago, but silently patented without ever using!"

Disregarding the cap, I personally have a 7Mb/sec connection and can watch 720p videos (youtube, etc) with only about a 3 second buffer at the start. The video then loads at LEAST 15-25% faster than playback. Doubt 1080p would do very well though...
Judging by the the amount of 7's and 3's (common in human generated "random" numbers), it was most likely generated by a human (possibly on the fly during filming)
Yeah, great idea. Let's complain that nobody is implementing IPv6 while at the same time berating and insulting those that actually try to do something about it!
A few diabetics in my family would disagree about a failed pancreas being a death sentence. Serious PITA, yes. Death sentence, almost certainly not if you deal with it properly.

That must have been one big cookie!
You actually gave a REAL credit card number to Sony?!?
You'd think the villains would have caught on that "swarm of women == james bond nearby"...

Only if we can devise another test to show that the other universes experienced the big band at the same time as us.

Care to give ANY examples...?
Not if they feel the chances of them being caught are low enough.
if ((cost_if_caught * chance_of_getting_caught) cost_for_reporting) {suppress_incident();}
You know, I have found it rather convenient that every single "Anonymous" person they have "caught" has been JUST over the legal age (18-22).

Expect this to be a new thing in hollywood movies. I think it's about the only thing they HAVEN'T used for a prison escape!

I think I found your problem

You seem to be assuming it's a reusable code. Since ALL codes seem to be given verbally, it stands to reason that would be on-time use only.
Yeah, great idea. Let's complain that nobody is implementing IPv6 while at the same time berating and insulting those that actually try to do something about it!
Idiot...
I doubt it. You plan may ON being a billionaire in the next 12 months, but I highly doubt you've actually planned TO be one.
Old hardware aside, nothing is stopping you from using private IPv6 addresses inside your network as a pseudo-nat.

But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. That technology ain't available to us anymore.

Wow, that just really didn't work very well... Kind of randomly put videos in different windows when pausing/playing. :P
Really... Hmm, must try this on my tiling WM (stump) to see what it does!
