You must be new here if you think Taco and his so called 'editors' do anything other than sit around playing video games and collecting paychecks while posting a link once in awhile.
Of course it will, a movie said so! This obviously has a government cover up spin, when they say "may collapse due to increased workload" they mean " will collapse due to another planet crashing into it"
Last year, IIRC, there was a problem with Playstations (or PSP's or some MS hardware product) with the change of date for the New Year.
That was with most of the old fat ps3's. As a clock failure they pretty much all refused to work on Feb 29th, even off line as they apparently were unaware of leap years.
Although I am not an Apple fanboy, I can understand how the Apple Inquisition's three main weapons, are: fear, surprise and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Jobs . . . their *four*...no... *Amongst* their weapons . ..
...a launch control center computer (LCC), responsible for a package of five missiles...they decided to take off-line all five LCCs that the malfunctioning center was connected to. That left 50 missiles in the dark.
5 computers responsible for 5 missiles each doesn't total 50 missiles.
So does it still exist? Considering how far the light is traveling to get here, is there any way to determine if the galaxy is even still there? Then again I don't imagine they just disappear but I dunno it could be suffering heat death and all the stars burning out.
Wait for the light out to go out? Then we know it went out 13.1billion years ago.
This for example is why Slashdot hides your password as ******** if you accidentally happen to write or paste it to a comment - a practice every website should do.
So if I write hunter2 it appears to you as *******?
where do the taliban in Afghanistan get the lions share of their cash? Well they dont just grow all those Poppies because they're pretty.
So... by legalizing it this will hurt the Taliban somehow? Are you suggesting that it be law that you can only buy it from US poppy fields or something? If you're caught with the drugs, how would the police/government know weather it came from America or Afghanistan?
Not really but if it's from a legal supply chain, then they can make it alot harder for the taliban to shift their wares. I'm not saying it would shut them down over night or anything.
Just imagine if all the profits made from heroin went to helping the addicts instead of up a big criminal chain.
You really think this would happen? Do all the profits from the sale of tobacco go to helping the addicts? Of course not! They go to people who are already very rich, and the addicts just have to go on buying their product.
Having said all this, I'm all for the legalization of cannabis. It doesn't really hurt anyone and alcohol is actually a much more dangerous substance. But heroin et al. are a different story completely, and should remain illegal IMO.
You're right, it almost definitely wouldn't happen like that, not unless the government directly produced and sold it themselves and even then probably not. I'm not saying it shouldn't be controlled just it shouldn't be criminal. IMHO of course.
"how pot legalisation could stabilise national security"
By cutting off a massive stream of easy money to organised crime. Growing pot has to be the easiest illegal drug to produce.
They should go the whole hog and legalise everything, up to and including heroin. The people who wanna do it are gunna do it regardless and where do the taliban in Afghanistan get the lions share of their cash? Well they dont just grow all those Poppies because they're pretty. Plus you get the added benefit of knowing it's not cut with brickdust or bleach or anything else to make it nastier than it already is AND with government sanctioned 'shooting alley' they're not gunna be in the parks or allies or wherever dropping dirty needles and sucking cocks. Just imagine if all the profits made from heroin went to helping the addicts instead of up a big criminal chain. As an added bonus the gov can now tax it and help with the massive deficit/debt issue. It's win all around if you ask me.
All laws about this aren't the same. There are three different kinds of laws on this topic.
OTOH, if you really wanted to screw with the 'lost property' stuff, you put your car inside a giant metal box and hide it in a warehouse somewhere. You have not damaged their tracker at all....
Wouldn't they just go to the last place they had a signal, notice this big metal box big enough for a car and figure it out?
Well not really with windows 7 per se is all the ads I've seen are for things xp can do but only slightly better. I have 3 machines running xp and have no need or desire to update any of them. I used windows 7 for a bit when they where pushing it at work and alot of it just seems new for the sake of it with a load of extra sheen like they want it to look like a mac because macs are cool nowadays.

Where do I apply?
1 A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4 A robot must not make a mess and if it does it must clear up after itself.
Ever been frustrated when you can't solve a Sudoku
No. Never been unable to solve one. :)
No, never tried to solve one. :p
It's not opinion that an omnivorous diet is better (for us) than pure meat or pure veg. It's kind've obvious. And I have 28 years experience in that.
So the world will end in 2012!
Of course it will, a movie said so! This obviously has a government cover up spin, when they say "may collapse due to increased workload" they mean " will collapse due to another planet crashing into it"
What's a cthulhu? fhtagn...wha?
A white person using the word 'nigger' or being told he can't use it because he's white?
I might try and patent "A method to do something by using something else". That's a bit more specific than some patents, I could rake it in.

No. It makes the electorate insane.
You get the government you want.
You get to choose the best from a bad bunch.
Mach 8 = 2 722.32 m/s.
Escape velocity being 11.2 km/s, so the answer is no.
Right let's do it again lads, BIGGER this time.

It's five o'clock, time to go rape some bitches.
Ever read a word so many times it loses all meaning? Fraud?.....nah, doesn't even look right!

Nobody expects the Apple Inquisition!
This comic illustrates the subject well
That describes 24 almost perfectly!

They could pretty easily recreate it in photoshop, do that and tell him to stfu, maybe put the astronaut upside down or something.
...then they can't assume all traffic over it is illegal and send out pay us or else letters.
