Exactly! I was reading an article recently about a 60 year old gardener who went to prison for not filling out some forms and technically "smuggling" orchids. He was put in with violent offenders.
Non violent criminals should not be put in prison at all. There has to be some other more effective, less expensive, and safer way to punish people.
This is the exact same thing. 4 years for taking your job too seriously!?
Or cups of water and a sinking ship. I'm sure there's an idiom for this.

WTF!? Voluntary participant? How the hell can you be a voluntary participant under the age of consent? Like if they traded with you for a really awesome pokemon card?
A huge percentage of the kids in child porn are kidnapped and eventually murdered or sold as slaves.
Destroy them before they have a chance to misuse their power by spreading lies? The only one's misusing their power here were the so called journalists who made up this bull.
Absolutely! It's so upsetting how ready everyone is to believe a lie and argue so feverishly that people are "evil" for doing something they've no actual intention of doing.

I read an article in the Times about elderly people who are living there now. They say the whole thing has been exaggerated by the media and it's perfectly safe. Of course there's some places where they can't go... I don't really understand how they get their food delivered.. anybody got a link to the people I'm talking about? They were definitely inside the Chernobyl dead zone, but whether they were in the town itself or another nearby town which had been evacuated I can't remember.

The research team compared the abundance of species in the exclusion zone with similar types of habitats in the area, which were not contaminated.
That's where they went then. There isn't a decline because they died, there's twice as many in the nearby unaffected areas because they moved there.
I think you're confusing OS - Operating system with OS - open source.
They won't be making an operating system, they'll be making a website. To front-end users it doesn't have to be any more complicated than facebook or bebo or orkut, the same types of processes will go into making it but the processes will not be secret. That's what open source means.
If these kids genuinely aren't as good then they're not devaluing anything, are they? If it's not worth as much then it doesn't matter that they compete with each other and get paid less. If what you do is actually worth something then you'll get money for it. If you don't get money for it it's worthless. Or it's fine art.
Right. I think it's honest. My dad would read that and go "Right. Windows." I'd read that and go. "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what's Ubuntu?" Look it up, read about it, realize it was free, try it, dual boot, then decide which I wanted to go with for my new computer.
I think if you're not interested in looking beyond that page into what Ubuntu is then having Ubuntu would drive you insane. No matter how many steps they take towards usability it's still made for people who are naturally curious about it and patient and who are going to spend hours upon hours figuring out how to get something working and not care about that but be pleased that they're learning.
For most people a computer is a tool, like a car. They don't care how it works they just want it to work. Some people want it to work amazingly and be beautiful like an Aston Martin, but most people just want to get to work.
A friend of mine in Canada had to wait 6 months just to get screened for cancer. Turned out she had it! Of course if she'd had money she could have paid for the screening, but she didn't have it.
Anything that saves money is good. You save money on equipment you have more money to spend on doctors to do it. You can do more scans. I thought that was obvious.
Saving 300 dollars is an easy choice if you have 300 dollars! That's almost a months wages where I live! And I live in the first world!
What about people on 50 cents a day?
Every penny we save counts.
How can you not see how great this is?
And they can get the price down lower and lower.
A friend of mine in Canada had to wait 3 months just to get screened for cancer. Turned out she had it! Of course if she'd had money she could have paid for the screening, but she didn't have it.

That's so cheap! Every hospital in the world can afford that!
People can be screened for cancer cheaply at the tiniest sign. We'll catch it faster so we'll treat more people early! And research will be that bit easier!
Well of course they're cheating her out of money. There is no choice, no competition for mobile broadband.
Monopoly should only be a board-game:(
But things will get better, they always do.
This is exactly what I was talking about. Men will put up with being unhappy. Women will make a change.
Men will be having a nervous breakdown while the woman is on a job interview.

Not true. Google are always for net neutrality and this story was fake. http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=45&aid=188249 [poynter.org]
Google have issued a response: http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=45&aid=188249
Upsetting how quickly everyone is willing to jump on the "Google is evil" bandwagon and slander their name.
Nothing happened to it. This story is completely made up. http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=45&aid=188249

If we weren't supposed to stroke men and women in ads then the cursor wouldn't change into the shape of a hand.
What am I supposed to do now?

I will nurse my bruised ego and you will go back to 4 chan and flame other 14 year olds.
OH! Is "Incredible" a type of phone?
"On the other hand, while the signal strength dropped for HTC Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid X and Blackberry Bold, it wasn't as severe. "
Please forgive me if It was a typo and I seem like I'm being a smart-ass.

You should make a few more and sell them, 500 imaginary dollars is no small sum!
