Since all the Dutch speak English so well, why would they import someone who doesn't even speak their language. Every IT job wants English + something else. Ah well.
I assume you mean the Netherlands. You imply that the society of the Netherlands is not complex? Which 'very powerful, addicting drugs' did the Netherlands legalize? Cannabis and psychedelics are the only ones I know of that are given a pass for use, despite remaining technically illegal. neither of these are really addicting. And so what if they are powerful? Power, in and of itself, is not a reason for prohibition!
You are guilty of the same mind-set used by those who dismiss evolution because they cannot possibly comprehend how a billion billions of small changes could turn a aquatic animal into a land-based animal.
No more waiting FOREVER for the douchebags who refuse to check luggage to heave their crap out of the overhead compartments! This should aid in the speed of boarding and exiting the plane considerable.
Of course, on a trans-atlantic flight, that one book had best be a thick one!
You lived in a shitty part of town if you had problems with crackheads and winos. What kind of job did you have, WalMart cashier?! I don't think your experiences are representative of 'major urban living'.
As for life being more sustainable in rural areas...sure...if you can grow enough food to survive the winter. And can you afford to fuel that generator for weeks on end if Doomsday happens like you predict? How long a drive to the gas station, the grocery store?
I'm glad you enjoy where you are now, but if the arguments presented in your post are even close to what your thought process was when leaving the city...you are retarded.
A nerd would have realized that while the bus does have less stringent emissions controls, the fact that it transports MANY people as opposed to ONE person, works out to less pollution per mile traveled per person.
There are many ways to get to an airport or trainstation which do not require a private car or a publically supported transportation infrastructure. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what those ways are.
You don't help your cause with simplistic bumper-sticker-isms.
I mean, what about all the gun-owning Americans who would also stand up, if any army in the history of the world had the logistical capabilities and the man power to occupy the United States?
Are you implying that Ze Germans would managed to hold their conquests in Europe AND take over the United States?
According to your claim, 'arbitrary' or 'purely Natural impulses' are what man uses to make decisions in abscence of 'moral standards'. Since the moral standards used by man, are created by man, they are in fact arbitrary.
Your argument is circular and smacks of someone ( with the dick of theology firmly implanted in their throat ) pressing the validity of their religious beliefs using deceitful methods.
Which, of course, is an apt description of C.S. Lewis.
That poster started the discusion using his 22MPG CR-V as an example. He wanted the room. I countered that you could get a vehicle with the same or better room for better than 22MPG.
What model are your 'sports cars' that get 40MPH? They must accelerate like a tortoise.
Way to read too much into a statement and over-react.
ECU fuel milleage is calculated by the duty cycle of the fuel injectors. The ECU assumes optimum flow...but flow doesn't stay optimum. The closed loop O2 sensor can 'trim' the system by a crude guess at un-burned fuel in the exhaust.
It looks like the margin of error of his experiment pretyt much makes his numbers a wash.
This bill has no teeth at all. Smells like an election year stunt pandering to those with strong feelings on environmental issues AND energy independency. Clever political stunt, that's all.
It has much fewer libraries, different memory management techniques and other different features. Designed to greatly reduce the footprint of a Java application.
It is much easier to develop your code on the JDK you will be running it on.
J9 is a stripped down JDK that removes much of the less-oft used java library jars. It has different memory management. It's designed to give a java application a more acceptable footprint. I believe it was initially designed for mobile devices.
Whether that means it breaks the 'rules' of Java, I can't say. I can say that it is nice to have a java app that doesn't suck down tons of memory.
I can accept there are two different drives to the same end. At 32 I still don't feel the desire to have a child to take care of...I'm still stuck on the act itself.:D
So you're obviously opposed to birth control, computers (except strictly as a work tool), all forms of entertainment, and anything people do that doesn't directly support having a child or raising a child. Wait, why're you on Slashdot anyway? I highly doubt (all jokes aside, even) that'll help you reproduce.
The biological drive to procreate isn't about 'making a baby', it's about fucking. When you feel that drive you don't think "Man, I'd like to have a woman birth a child and raise it", you think "I'd like to put my hoo-hoo-dilly in her cha-cha!".
Using computers as a substitute for social interaction is different than supressing the desire for social interaction, which is a biological drive.
Again...the drive is not the have the baby...the drive is to FUCK.
Believe your hocus-pocus supersticion all you want...but please don't delude yourself that it can be defended with logical and rigorous though.

I am learning tho.
Barnes and Noble has yet to not have a book I've wanted.
Plus, I get free shipping there...and they don't spam my inbox with 'reccomendations'.
Nobody wants me tho...I don't know any languages other than English well enough.
But some day! Some day!

Of all the MD 20/20 varieties...grape stands out as the best.

I didn't know white trash could use the internet...
Spread accross a blimp...stretched in both plains so that the message can be read from long distances away.
...But I do wear my EFF T-shirt as often as possible when I go out in public. Which does actually happen!
Maybe next year.

Ford Taurus comes to mind. V6 mid-size sedan plus a big trunk. Does better than 22 MPG!
But it's not as cool.
Not too many. More likely they will be ordered, ripped, and put up on fileshare networks.
Also, you might consider the search terms "60 minutes torrent".

You can buy publicly traded stocks, you can purchase insurance of various types, and you can contribute to the politician of your choice!
Not sure why casino-game gambling is different...probably because they can't tax it.

laws only recognize adults men. Recently adult men have been added. More recently, children have begun to lose rights.
It's not that simple, is it?
