Never understood why anyone censors "bad" words yet leaves enough letters there so people easily figure out what the word is. Is it the spelling that's offensive or do they think they're tricking kids?
Exactly. Funny how a political science professor says this about math...I think a lot of math professors would say political science was hard and equally unnecessary. I consider this issue a political one therefore any debate will be fruitless.
With that massive sample size of 2 cases they MUST be right...that's rock solid statistical analysis./p>
I find it disconcerting that having a FaceBook account makes you less suspicious and more hirable. Isn't this just another form of discrimination? We've finally gotten (mostly) past looking at people's race, religion, sexual preference, and skin color but we can now look at their willingness to keep nothing personal and private and hold that against them? How is this legal?
You bring up an interesting point...if vehicles can communicate with each other I'm sure Big Brother will be monitoring/tracking everyone...will probably make drone strikes more accurate...
You must be near DC...I drive in that area about 75 miles daily and there's flipped over cars, burning vehicles, etc. (plus the zombie warning via hacked DC DOT signs). I feel like I'm driving the road to Baghdad during the invasion.
Love to hack that system if I could send messages to other driver...
Is there a reason this happens? I mean, what makes the orbits of planets around the sun different from orbits of man-made objects around the Earth? Do all the planets orbit in the same direction? Satellites and other space junk orbit retrograde and prograde, over the equator, poles, or anything in between, and with circular or elliptical orbits. Why don't the planets do this as well? Could it be that they've been orbiting for billions of years and all the planets orbiting different were consumed or destroyed by the others?
I wonder if whoever did this arranged to pay AC/DC somehow or if the perpetrator stole copyrighted material. Hacking nuclear weapons facilities across international borders AND pirating a songs is a bad combination.
After Apple corners the hearing aid social networking market, they'll network insulin pumps before moving on to the Holy Grail of medical device social networking...pace makers. In a related story, hackers are clamoring for developer SDKs to be first in line to wreck havoc in this new threat vector.
Try doing this with skin color, religion, race, sexual preference, etc. and you'll quickly find an angry torch-wielding mod at your front door. Switching things up to look at parameters perceived to be under the control of the person and it's ok. Kind of ironic people don't see this as an even bigger potential threat to civil rights than anything else. Like anything, this will start of with good intentions and be limited in scope (e.g. Twitter) but soon, if funded, it will be used for evil and be linked to Google's database to refill prisons around the USA. Yay.
I wanted to buy a Mac tower when the G5s were popular but heard rumors of Intel MacPros coming out August 2006. I waited to buy that "late model" MacPro and loved it until Apple me with a lack of GPUs and me with no OSX 10.8 compatibility due to laziness. Now when It's time to buy a new computer I will not be buying Apple...I'll get something else and they can go themselves. Great computer and OS but crappy support.
If it was the GPU then MacPro users could buy a new GPU an be good but since the problem is the older Macs have 32-bit EFIs Apple decided it's easier to make them obsolete. Netkas.org has a workaround and has gotten the 2006 MacPro 1,1 working with OSX 10.8. I'll probably migrate from OSX to Linux when I can't do what I need to do with my MacPro...where's the "guy waving fist angrily in the air at Apple" emoticon?
I agree the laws or rules that are based on religion can be applied by believers and non-believers alike. Are you opposed to the Ten Commandments being posted in public areas or is that too close to a religion being sanctioned by a state or federal agency (just curious)? Would you approve of a course taught in high school where all major religions were explained in a semester, maybe followed with a semester on evolution? I think that could expose students to things so they could understand the problems of the world better and they could explain the good rules of life such as the one you mentioned, along with many others.
Like a gun, religion can be helpful or hurtful, all depends on the "user." Reminds me of a quote Homer Simpson made on "The Cartridge Family" episode: "I'm sorry I lied to you, Marge. But this gun had a hold on me. I felt this incredible surge of power, like God must feel when he's holding a gun...."
I don't think the scientific method and religion are mutually exclusive. If I want to believe in aliens, werewolves, the Easter Bunny, or Santa Clause that's my option. I don't understand why anyone should get as mad at me as you seem to be. If my religion makes me better, more at ease, more down to earth, or somehow improve my life and/or the lives of those around me then isn't that a good thing? It could be placebo or real...no matter, so long as it evokes a positive change in lives.
I didn't see any hate in kubusja's post...you probably see hate because you disagree. I think Google should focus on the business and not in politics. Curious what their stock holders think about the wasted man-hours and money Google's invested in this already.
"Freedom of religion" is freedom from being forced by the government to worship a certain way or be involved in a specific church. There is no state-sponsored or approved religion, we may worship or not worship as we see fit. "Freedom from religion" does do hand-in-hand as it's your choice to not worship in any way whatsoever. Also fine. I just get tired of the attacks on religion which seem to be in vogue...

Citation needed.
Yeah, pen and paper were available but those damn pterodactyls would swoop down and snatch it up if you weren't careful.

That's the second rule of gov't spending, the first rule is nobody talks about gov't spending.

Yup, preach on brother AC, preach on.
Thanks for the correction. I obviously need to incorporate the term "wreaking havoc" more into my day-to-day vocabulary.

I already reported your type to be analyzed as a possible threat to mankind. Please report to the disintegration chamber immediately.
