Really? Could you tell then, where the last massive serious of riots were in various countries across the globe were by Christians over the desecration of their religious icons or texts, or even various prophets/saints/etc. I mean even up here in Canada, we had muslims protesting at the US embassy over the film, and their solution to fix the problem was calling death of the people who made it.
It was Muslims who re-dubbed the video in the first place in case you missed all the praise be to Allah in the video description and all the Muslim links.
This is/. the majority of people here believe that it's Christians who do these things, it's the Muslims who don't and are perfectly okay.
It's not. Well it is to people who hate ordered society, or dislike people being involved. A lot of people simply hate politics because they don't understand how it works, personally I blame that on the fact that they don't actually teach people about it. Rather, they simply "tell people" what they think they should know.
How about we just go back to pushing ad blocking software?
Seems to fine to me. After all, they said they'd honor DNT, they're refusing to honor DNT. Now if that last 10% is honoring DNT, well I feel sorry for them. But it's not going to stop me from blocking their ads like I've been doing for the last 14 years either. It's not just a privacy issue, it's also a security issue. Advertisers are still terrible about who they let onto their networks, I mean how many times have we seen major advertisers pushing malware onto major sites? I mean really how hard would it be to simply hire someone to check the ads first?
There was nothing "green" about smart meter technology. It was always about ToU billing and how much someone could screw you over at the end of the day.
The whole purpose of a paper ballot is to keep your vote secret. If that was not the case you could far more easily went in and say your choice aloud.
Voting in Canada is secret as well, but every paper ballot is marked with it's twin out of the ballot book with it's identifier number, usually 8-10 digits. This is to make sure that the ballot in play, was drawn from a legal book in use, not anywhere else. And that did happen up here. Which is why all ballots are marked. Though they don't tie the ballot to you. And there is no way to tell who you vote for.
Well just remember those of us that are 'sane' and don't have an account, are apparently psychopaths now. So fuck'em. I'd rather be a psychopath, then I can get free room and board, along with happy-trip meds.
And was it really necessary to have a custom-created Art History textbook?
In Canada, some private colleges and universities provide curriculum that sits outside the norm of what is mandated by the provinces. There is a standard to which they have to apply and cram everything in. But a lot of schools also 'do more with less time'. So yes, a 'custom-created' book isn't all that unusual in some cases. There are perks to applying to these schools, especially from those schools where employers will hire before students graduate. OCAD is one of them, there is a few others Fanshawe(known for it's broadcasting courses), Westervelt(law/paralegal and policing courses) as well.
I've got some coke bottles from the 1950's and 60's that are still sealed with the coke inside, sadly they don't list the amount of sugar in them. Chances of them being "rich in sugar" is pretty high though. Though this was back in the day when they actually had sugar or cane sugar, not glucose/fructose, or HFCS.
Let's be realistic though, sitting on your ass is the main difference especially today. Back in highschool(in the 90's) at least for me, we had all the soda drinks we could get our hands on. The difference between the lard asses an those of us who weren't was the amount of physical activity. I drank as much soda as the guy who was weighing in at 350lbs(our highschool of around 500 only had a few of these), but I was a wrestler, I competed in local, county and provincial matches, I hit the school weight room every day. I was active, I took gym class from gr9 through gr13(OAC--last class standing). But the people didn't, you could tell by the end of those 4 or 5 years. And today, the people who kept that lifestyle, well they probably are eating for four people.
The problem with the Israeli model is that it isn't terribly feasible at a large scale. It works because Israel is a tiny country with only one major international airport (Ben Gurion) that needs to be secured.
Uh what? There's nothing stopping this from happening, none what so ever except that people say...oh noes, it's impossible to do. It's kind of like saying, OH NOES THE RADIATOR ON MY CAR IS LEAKING...what ever shall I do...
Beh. Repeating something over and over again doesn't make something impossible to accomplish, inaction does.
Ah crock of shit. What a crock of shit, I take endocet(oxycodone hcl 5mg/acetaminophen 325mg) every 4-6 hours as required for my back along with long acting Hydromorphone(10mg twice daily). And I'll be honest, if I didn't I couldn't even function, I fractured my C2 and C3 a few years ago, and let's be honest here. I'm damn lucky I didn't die from it, or am a paraplegic, or partially crippled(though I would be without the pain killers--though from people who read my posts this would explain why there is sometimes a lack of coherence, especially between that and the 60mg of baclofen I take for the spasms).
Now before I was on the endocet, my family doctor gave me tylenol 3's(that's 325+30mg codine) and I was taking two of those every 4hrs and it wouldn't do shit, but before that regular over the counter acetaminophen w/codeine didn't do shit. And here in Canada, you get them without a prescription. Now his advice was "as many as you could stomach, not exceeding 20 in a 24hr period" yeah that's a lot of pills(325x20=6500mg acetaminophen+codine) . And I was in a lot of pain. Needless to say, I'm still alive, and my liver is fine.
Because we haven't got railguns yet to slap onto battleships. We'll almost contently see the return of it in our lifetime. When it does happen you can be sure you'll see cruisers with small versions if they can get away with it. But you'll see very worlds military building battleships with those suckers as soon as they think they can.
But let's be honest, despite what the article says, there's a few other reasons besides power projection. Pirates, shipping lane protection, and they work much better for disaster relief than a couple of cruisers. The capacity just isn't there. But a carrier is a city onto itself. Besides, it's hard to get a small aircraft that does tactical attacks halfway across the world to take out a pirate base. Bombers sure, but by the time it's in the air they could have scuttled.
Love the double standard huh? And remember this is the stuff that they're using to make policy and tax changes with. Uh HELLO MC FLY? Anyone else have a problem when someone says "trust me, I did it legit."
Honestly? I haven't reinstalled Win7 on this SSD since it was installed. This is a day-one install of Win7, and it's still going strong. It's actually a transfer from a physical HDD. And from a previous mobo with a different controller chip, and CPU(intel to AMD). It handled it very well actually. Simply put, suspending to RAM is a nice idea, but if you're using an x64 OS, it'll eat up as much as it can in theory as long as you're using apps which will support it too.
The idea of using RAM though isn't anything new, we were screwing around with this back in the 80's and 90's if you remember. It was clumsy and cumbersome back then, and it really hasn't gotten any better. If you're going to leave your machine up all the time though? Meh though, how many desktop machines do you never reboot? A server I could see, I mean I had a 1.1 BSD server for ages that ran and ran and ran(about 1200 days uptime), but desktop? Meh there's always some shitty driver leaking all over the place.
This isn't really news, Canada has large diamond depots in the far north as well. Most are in production now, we've got several others that were discovered under the permafrost as well but they're not being mined. They're even larger than the ~28million metric ton Victor Pit open mine.
Yep. They have all the failures of a traditional HDD plus an SSD. I've heard through various people that swapping out the controller board will not allow recovery, and most data recovery companies won't even touch them if you send them off to have the data recovered. They just can't get anything useful back off of them apparently. Whether or not that's true I can't say, so take the hearsay as it stands. It's a good idea, but I wouldn't use one. It's still new tech, and to be honest?
With the price of an SSD right now? You're just better off to go buy a 120GB or 160GB primary boot drive(I use a 60GB first gen drive for my main OS + page file/documents and crap), then dump everything else onto more HDD's as needed. I've got around 3TB of storage across several other HDD's and a second 60GB 3rd generation SSD that I use for gaming got a it as a deal last year(normally $289, and got it for $110).
Indeed. I've been using a SSD for 3 or 4 years in my desktop machine and it works perfectly. Hell it works perfectly fine as compared to the day was installed. It's a first generation drive. There is no comparison. I've got another 3rd generation SSD that I use just for gaming. And since most of my games are installed via STEAM, I just use junction points, no problems with that either. IOPS do matter, though I will say stay the hell away from hybrid drives. It's either one or the other.
But even your cheapest drives these days unless they're made by a shit company have a really good IOPS count.
Maybe they'll grow up? Doubtful, they've being this way for how long?
Like I said, maybe. At least 1100 years. Oh, let's seen it took several crusades the last time to stop the last great attempt of the muslim purges of Europe. So who knows, and even then it was going on for nearly 200 odd years before anything was done.
Meh I'm Jewish(reform from orthodox). I'd be happy if Islam grew up and joined us and Christians at large after reforming. Here's the problem, they kill people wanting reformations. Those who do create reformation movements have fatwa's issued against them. They have them issued against their families. And all the rest. I really couldn't care if someone is worshiping another god, or the same god in another way, or no god at all. Good on them, let them do whatever the hell they want.
What I have a problem with is their "rage-a-hol" and their deep indrawn desire that whenever their religion or prophet gets has a picture drawn, or someone make a comment, it's OMG RIOT! OMG CUT THEIR HEAD OFF! OMG KILL THE KUFIRS! Well that and for the most part their absolute hatred of Jews. I don't hate them, I just pity their poor understanding, and backwardness of the world at large. I'd love to get along with them, but large numbers of them would rather just kill me for being a Jew too.
So, what can you do? Not much. Maybe they'll grow up, but I doubt it. And with the latest and greatest push and their desire to "install islam all over the world" and convert everyone to it (Hey welcome to what they've been trying against us for the last while) I'm sure you all will just have to figure out what you're going to do eventually anyway. Myself, I figure it'll end up being a world war. Whether or not you've figured it out or not, large numbers of them have been at war with us even if we're not at war with them. But maybe you'll start asking yourself, why the hell are they building all those mega mosques which can hold 2500 people, when they only have 25 worshipers,.
There's plenty of reasons to belittle it. The media smells blood in the water and they'll literally make anything up to spin a story. And let's be honest, we're at the only time in human history where knowledge is doubling at a rate unprecedented along with our technical knowledge and being able to put both into practice within a decade. I'd say, to be honest, in 20 years, hell it might be 10 years from now it could be less than that. Where both technical and knowledge are put together in the span of 10 years.
Science fiction and near future are great indicators of what may be, though some things from manga(like GiTS) also reflect the 'near future'. Nanobots to clean up radiation? And if not nanobots, then something engineered. Possible, hell I give that one 15 years, tops.
They were mean spirited and intended to provoke this response as is his calling Islam a cancer.
That's great, Islam is a cancer. I said it too, just to provoke people.
What else, well if you insult christians or jews, or hindu's or taoists, or buddhists by calling their religion a cancer can you tell me what would happen? I know you already can. They'd look at you, shrug and go on their way. He didn't shout "fire in a crowed theater" rather you're seeing the face of a religion that hasn't grown up because it's still a child, that will not face the realities that all other religions have.
If I took my torah and burned it, nothing would happen. There'd be no riots in the streets. If I took my bible and burned it in the streets nothing would happen. If I took a variety of other religious texts, nothing would happen. If I took a Koran and did it, I'd have death threats against me within the hour.

Did you really drink as much soda though? There are plenty of 350lb people who drink pepsi by the 1 or 2-liter bottle.
Yeah, I was going through a 24 case of coke every two days.
