So send a few Dept. Wildlife people out there to cull the population, bring the animals back and give to a charity for distribution to the needy. I don't really have anything against hunting (it's boring) but your argument doesn't really make sense.
They paid a shit-load for that ocean front property. If the waterlevel rises, not only do they lose their property but the regular joes behind them will see quite a windfall. If they can afford the new taxes.
I don't carry a camera with me everywhere...why would I want to? Why do you want to? Don't you know cellphone cameras take shit pictures?
I generally don't walk arround in places where I want my hearing obscured by music...and my car has a stereo with line-in and I put my MP3 player in my bag to bring into the office where I plug it into speakers.
I don't want a phone with me at all times either. I don't feel the need to be always available, and I lived 20 years of my life before small cellphones became available...and I don't need one now.
So you are appoligizing for corporations who create shit quality low-feature phones because they want you to quickly upgrade to a more expensive feature-rich phone?
I hope you work for these guys at least....or they pay you to shill for their business model!
Obviously the moderator knows jack about the immigration policies of the USA and the Netherlands. I have seriously pursued the possibility of moving my wife and I to the Netherlands. We are both skilled workers, but policy makes it very difficult to get that job that you need to get residency.
However, the Netherlands and the USA let poor an disenfranchised people in. People from the Arab lands and people from the Latin American lands.
Not quite sure why this is a troll...perhaps some super-patriot thought I was mocking his nation? Hint: Patriotism is school spirit for grown ups.
I so wish I could live there. It's pretty crowded though, and they aren't big on letting Americans move in. Like the USA, they tend to allow the disenfranchised in and keep the jobs for native-born. I suppose you can't blame them.
I am completely unimpressed by Blackberries or cellphones with cameras and MP3 players in them. Costs me extra to buy, more complex to use, and I never wanted that function!
Perhaps the glorious Free Market will realize there is a niche where people appreciate austerity, simplicity and durability.
Or perhaps they think that their revenue is driven by the endless upgrade treadmill and we asutere people are not a profitable niche.
I mean, they paid their debt. Give them a break. If you are worried about relapse, increase the sentences or don't let them out!
It's not like they killed someone, and it's not really fair to keep chainging the rules. Are murderers required to register emails? I should hope so!
I gotta question the wisdom of a state that sucks up $1.66 for every measley $1.00 they pay in Federal Taxes. Hopefully Virginia residents aren't bitching about welfare social equality programs putting a hurt on their income.

A set of apps are deployed on a set of appservers, and each app is given a classification which determines how important it is. CPU is at a premium in this environment, and a CPU-hog would be robbing the other applications.
I suppose in a traditional environment you'd just throw more servers at it, but I've never like that idea. The administrative costs in a high-avail datacenter are not to be sneezed at!
It's nice for little things.

But a serious, multi-site web-based application that spans continents is going to require something a bit more robust.
Since I'm always being told to build big things, I just couldn't get into Ruby/Rails.
Everyone should have nukes if they can wrangle it. Why does the USA get to pick and choose? I don't give a shit if Iran nukes Iraq, or Israel nukes Iran or who nukes who over there. I see you have a bias against arabs because you try to appeal to the "White guilt over Jews" that is so prevelant in the USA. I bet if I told you that I thought the way the nation of Israel was created was rascist and unfair, you'd call me an anti-semite.
Yes asshole, you WAIT until someone has attacked you to attack back. Pre-emptive strikes are amoral. How about I go to your house and shoot you in the face and kick your pregnant wife in the stomach because i think your kid will grow up to be a drug addicted drain on society? Maybe I'll light your house on fire and off you all as you run from the burning building! I gotta defend myself!
I don't use the number of people dead in Iraq as a reason to end the war, I lament because all those people died for a rediculously impossible pipe-dream. What does Korea have to do with the US's foreign policy? Are you trying to change the subject?
We wouldn't have failed patheitcally at 'managing communism' in Korea.
We wouldn't have had an enourmous display of incompetance and uneffectiveness in Vietnam.
We wouldn't have attacked Saddam in 93...our ally a few years previous...because he invaded Kuwait who were friends of our NEW ally Saudi Arabia which oppresses women and backed the 9/11 terrorists.
We wouldn't have lost 3k people, wounded 40k and blown $400Billion chains WMDs,,,no wait, stopping Saddam from getting Yellow Cake for nukes, no wait to stop Saddam from supporting Al-Quieda...no wait...to Free the oppressed Iraqi people....who actually had it pretty good compared to many places in Africa which were unfortunately oil-less.
You think that these atheists who are dismissing religious beliefs as irrational are incorrect? Or are they just 'mean'?
Would you have a problem with a round-earth believer dismissing the flat-earth believer's claims as irrational and unprovable, and making fun of them?
How about someone mocking a person who believes that White People are superior to Brown People?
Sometimes you have to call bullshit when you see bullshit. Considering the special treatment received by followers of popular religions over the last 2000 years...I have little sympathy for hurt feelings caused by a logical examination of religious beliefs.
Imagine a cop who states, quite truthfully, that he could kill an innocent person and never see jail. That cop then states that he would never do that.
The problem is un-yeilding religion and un-thinking followers of that religion created a world that was extremely harsh towards atheists, and in certain regions, extremely harsh towards other religions. Prior to the 20th century, a person who was publically atheist could count on being treated as a second class citizen by the religious majority. 'God-fearing' people wouldn't want to socialize with or hire atheists...and many condescended to the atheist.
It's just a bit of backlash for thousands of years of religion supressing rational thought and logic through government...especially considering the reccent fundamentalist movement in the USA. Atheists saw the world finally beginning to accept them and then *bam* the religious majority decides they want to hang on to their control of the culture.
My friends and I discuss religion and politics no problem...I am generally not friends with people who don't think like me. Politics and religion are important subjects to me, so if I could not discuss them with friends...that would suck.
You can pick your friends. You can't pick your family.
My family, however, are extremely conservative Christians who are in denial that I grew up and realized that their religion was just one of many and completely uncompelling. I have to sit calmly and let comments like "God is looking out for you!" float by after I comment that I just got a nice bonus for my hard work on a project at work. I'm cool with that. I'm the bigger person. I don't say "Wow that was lucky!" when they claim that their god was the root cause of some pleasant event in their lives. If I stood up for my beliefs the same way they shove theirs in my face knowing that I reject their claims of a god...there would be unhappiness.
So yeah, I don't talk about religion or politics with my family because they are good people in all other resepects (:) ) and I don't want to shun them.
That is how America is Free. We let you fuck up, then punish you. Isn't your home or business insured? Isn't your car insured?
I'd rather carry a little extra insurance and know that free speech is not being preemptively squelched because a few of the 'haves' might take a loss.
To me, the issue is that freedom isn't free. It costs us some of our security. Using these tools against people BEFORE they have broken the law is wrong.
They are marketed to the children of Old People who will be paying to care for the Old People. The Old People trusted their government and employers and didn't do independent retirement saving. Now they are screwed and the coming generations get to pick up the tab. The tab isn't just in money, but in time as well.
I almost feel sorry for those Old People who are broke...but then I remember how they've been voting for authorotarian candidates and I just can't muster up much sympathy. Let them lay in the beds they made.

I mean, that's what I keep hearing from conservatives when I complain that some things in the USA need to change.
I mean, people spent alot of dough on beach-front living. WHat happens when the mean old sea rises?
Do they still own the land, but have to build on stilts? Snce the beach would back up, that would suck for beach-goers, eh?
I think the answer should be "Tough Titty", and they take a huge loss.
But, since rich people tend to own this land...they'll lobby the gov't and we will all reimburse these poor rich people for their lost property.
Wow...pretty cynical today!

Would you be concerned?
I don't like automatics.
I don't even want one anymore, but the wife wants something minimal for short 'I'm on my way home' calls and the like.
I hate even having to carry the damn thing. Looks gay on my belt, don't want it in my pocket, and I'm always dropping it.
The US Markets are ignoring people like us...perhaps they will figure it out? Will Austerity come back in style?!
I also want a cat with no power windows or locks and no HIDs or Nav or any other lame shit I'd just upgrade with superior after-market gear anyway.
Those are getting harder to find as well...unless you want to go with the very cheapest/smallest models.
Maybe the USA can borrow some good ideas from the UK? We seem to be giving them bad ideas lately...
All we want is a cellphone for the car for emergencies or if someone is at the store and has a question.
I think pre-pay phones are just fine for that.
I love my Verizon coverage and quality...but their pre-pay plan seems to be an ass-rape.
