Good grief. what an obscure reference. And that is supposed to make Aeris notable?
I guess so is the guest character from that one episode of the simpsons to someone out there... but sheesh - like the target audience for JRPGs I'm guessing that group of fans is vanishingly small.
Given the trend in valuation of US currency over the last five years, I am pretty sure that the US has had absolutely no problem printing money on a whim lately.
Whether we are talking about the same thing or not is an exercise for the moderators:)
You seriously think that a random act of terror will make the security measures show for the security theater they are? Please. Any self-respecting politician will merely point out the security measures are just *inadequate*, and now you will have to strip prior to getting to the air line check in gate, and wait in the security line naked... or some other atrocious invasion of privacy that seems too laughable to mention now but in a short time will be "the next logical step".
I no longer fly, and it's not for fear of terrorism. The cost of flying has gotten too high, even if the financial burden has never been lower.
I'd rather see windmills than coal, gas, or oil fired generators; I can't see how windmills will poison anything. I really don't care about a few dead birds; the day after the tornados hit here in Springfield in 2006, there were thousands of dead birds everywhere (and far fewer trees for them to live in).
Technically, dead birds don't need trees to live in.
I thought about moderating your comments, but instead I'll post my analysis of your "analysis":
For an article that was about things your kids may never know about, that was a heck of a lot of blather about how the article was wrong because you do all this stuff.
Lucky for you, I didn't need to post two enormous, useless comments just to point this out.
This may come as a surprise to you... but if you can put the number into a webpage... so can that person in authority. Whether it's a receipt you keep with the vote readable, or a number you put into a webpage.
Any time that you can verify after you leave the polling place which way your vote was recorded... so can someone else. And that can lead to very serious consequences. Loss of job, family, the stakes are endless.
All that is required for you to verify your vote is a human-readable paper record that will be kept separate from the electronic record, but doesn't leave the polling place. That way you can verify it after you vote electronically, and if a recount is done, the paper trail box can be unlocked and counted.
If you think that you misunderstood him then the appropriate thing to do is to apologize, not to attempt to further insult him. And then you should probably think longer about whether you understand what people are saying before you post online about something.
It's great that you take initiative to learn a lot of languages, I applaud you for that. However, the effort you have expended in this endeavor does not entitle you to behave as badly as you have.
Upload and download give definition to where the data came from, and where the data is going to, not whether the data is being pushed or pulled, or what application performed which command to trigger the transfer.
Your argument that upload and download would be better served by send and receive is just as applicable to push and pull if they were somehow the meaning (they are not). I agree that there are more concrete descriptive terms available, and that send and receive certainly make more sense, however this still does not change reality.
It has been this way for eons WELL before P2P and push services were even a thought in someone's mind, and will continue to be for eons future, regardless of whether or not you choose to issue some decree to the contrary. Any discussion further is pointless to the extent of being futile.
Quite simply put, it is such as I have said; it has never (and will never) be any other way.
Slashdot Mirror
Careful buddy. Apple has a design patent on logic with rounded (aka "circular") corners.
You're moving into dangerous territory!
This being slashdot, I feel obliged / compelled to point you towards this instead. :)
Or know what JRPGs are, perhaps???

iThink there is room in the market.
iCould be wrong though...

Just Sayin'
Makes for great compression though. :)
Brings a whole new meaning to the term "tentpole feature", huh?
13 internets to you, sir. Congratulations, enjoy your prize.
Sure, but can you imagine the eBay listing fee, commission, and worse - the paypal fees?
Just imagine having 2 billion dollars frozen in your paypal account when the buyer files a dispute.
Sheeeeeeeesh.

Fabulous, even.
Wait...
D'oh!
it is cool to start a thought in the subject field, and finish it in the body field.
Good grief how I hate that. It can completely change the meaning of a post.

It aint trekkie unless it's CleverNickname insisting they have to reverse the polarity of the main deflector dish ;)
Well, it's not to some of us, I guess.
Mr. Shenanigans is calling from Soviet Russia on line 1.
That's sure a strange definition of "decent" you have there.
Perhaps you meant "high end" or "top of the line" instead?
Damn. Out of mod points.
-1 Troll - that'll have to do.
Although... if there was a "-1 Really, REALLY Boring" then I think I'd be tempted use that one first :)
That's funny... I submitted it, and I thought it was an interesting thing to read/see, even if it was a bit PR-ish.
That's the way these things work. What you see as just a press release could be what I see as an interesting art show.
All generalizations are a bad thing.
Does it bother Left Hand that you are now seeing Right Hand? I mean, they are in constant contact...
Kind of curious how Left Hand was a screamer, but at the same time I really don't want to know :)

You should really consider apologizing.
You should contact Taco... he's been suffering from this for years, which in turn has been making us "suffer" duplicates for years!
