Broken metaphor. When I get new keys, if they fail to start the engine while my old key worked fine, then yes, I replace the keys. Pay attention. I said "since Chrome 7". 6 worked fine and Firefox 3.5/3.6 still do.
I've been using Chrome for ages, but it seems to me like it's already way faster than it would have to be. I use a very dated machine and cannot usually saee Chrome being much faster than Firefox 3.5.12. They should be focusing on improving stability, because since Chrome 7 I've been experiecing unresponsive tabs, tabs that just won't load anything while others do fine and a plethora of other annoyances. Plus it can't really handle/.'s text box. I can't even go back with my mouse to correct a "saee" that's been bugging me for seconds!
If rape is nonviolent, how can it be non-consensual? I'm honestly trying to come up with such a situation. It seems terribly easy to stop having sex once you're not in the mood anymore, unless you're into heavy bondage.
Anonymity is free speech. Let's be honest: truly free speech will never be a reality. Even if no one can legally convict you for anything you say, that doesn't mean there isn't a social backlash you'll have to face. If you work for a company and feels the need to call your boss a moron, ok. There will be consequences, though, and probably not great ones, from your point of view. Now we might say it's only fair and natural that you have to deal with the consequences of what you say, but if something - anything - makes you afraid to say what you want, then your speech isn't really free, is it? It will cost you something. Why do you think your vote is to be kept undisclosed? Anonymity makes for truly free speech. Free and nonprofitable, as you will gain no personal recognition for what you say, either. Plus appeals to authority would be gone, so whatever opinions you choose to voice would have to stand on their own.
Being part of the free press, or being anyone who enjoys the protection of the first amendment, doesn't give you cover to work with a person who is illegally stealing and transferring classified documents. Period.
The NYT (and the other media operators) didn't get into a chat with the guy who stole the docs. Nor are they stashing a special encrypted cache of stolen docs which thehy are overtly using as blackmail leverage. These are completely different types of activities. Assange is not acting like a member of a free press. He's an ego-maniac with a specific political agenda who is directly soliciting illegal activity, and even offering help with legal costs for those that commit it. People who think he's being a jackass aren't totalitarians... Assange himself, on the other hand, is really enjoying his King For A Day power trip, and is so far removed from "press" to make it laughable when people use that term to describe him.
I'm confused. I thought the incoherent rant and overall bitchiness were supposed to come right before, not right after your period.
I don't think boobs are the problem (they never are - lack of them, on the other hand, can be pretty destructive). I know I'd want to shield my child from the vicious words of a deranged Youtube/Slashdot commenter such as myself.
...empower passengers with good-samaritan style legislation that exempts persons from prosecution for acts they genuinely believe to be in prevention of a terrorist incident.
I think you misspelt "let's start shooting bearded men".
Sure, but do you remember Metroid or Kid Chameleon? They would be unbearable nowadays if it weren't for nostalgia. And we tried to finish them repeatedly in the past. We just had a lot more patience. If throwing your controller at the wall can be considered patience. Ok, let's call it perseverance.
I don't know, dude. If taxation is theft, how would you call making $20000 worth of goods in a given month and being paid a $1000 salary? I think what makes people hate taxes is that those $200 come and then go, so you miss them much more than the other $18000 you don't even see. If I made $20000 a month, I wouldn't mind parting with $4000, honestly.

I see. Just like when we catch politics on the news, then.

Just like consumers, then?
Well, thank god there was no shit. That'd be gross.
Porn? In my S?
The other two deal with national defense. I am not aware that there is any defense-related information in the cables.
The fact that they were classified by the Dept of Defense should be evidence of that.
No, no. You got it backwards. There should be evidence of that for the Dept of Defense to classify them.

Dude, I think moderation just proved you wrong by modding "insightful".
Also, Joe *LIBERMAN*.
You know how the very, very, very old saying goes: "if women talk during sex, then you're probably not clubbing them properly".
Some will die, too bad. When they realize that we will fight them at every turn, they will leave off their ineffective terror strategy.
Problem: the ones you call "terrists" are thinking exactly the same.
You die when you stop enjoying life.
Most of us are still alive, actually, and being so pernicious as to infect others with our blaséness.

Yes, europeans are fabulous winers. Oh, what they can do with a chardonnay or late-harvested sémillon...
Can you even imagine Nigel Farage's private correspondence concerning Van Rompuy? I wish WikiLeaks got their hands on that.
You mean ours isn't?

straitjackets for all passengers.
No, you have to think like the TSA: mandatory amputations!
And you think Apple customers are that worried about price?

Voluntary contribution kind of worked for a long, long time. Like since the paleolithic until 5000 years ago or so. I see your point, though.
