Should be really allow copyright abuse in such a manner that it is illegal to even report on something regarding copyrighted material. If so, as a society we should just start teaching our kids to immediately give their lunch money to the biggest meanest kid in the school before they can even ask.
You can't let thinking, reason, and facts get in the way of a good right wing rant, you should know that by now. Never mind that perhaps there may or may not have been some slight irregularities in one state in the 2008 elections that didn't decide the election. Does that really compare to the fiasco of the 2000 and 2004 elections that did swing the elections? I mean in 2000, bush didn't even come close to winning the popular vote doesn't really mean anything to some people.
Who's talking about hard drug use? I was more speaking to the use of medicinal and recreational Marijuana. Besides, some of the most dangerous drugs are already legal with and without a prescription.
You might think that the freedom for the people to kill themselves outweighs the various negative effects of hard drug abuse, but a lot of people would disagree..
This argument is already moot. Smoking and the various related negative health effects already kill far more people every year as well as alcohol abuse. Explain to me again about legality over safety?
AFAIK they've never claimed to be real scientists, but their experiments, while entertaining are not even close to real scientific experimentation which they do claim to do. So while you may feel justified in labeling me as a "dipshit" for pointing this out, I can rightly counter that your trite and unoriginal XKCD citation may in fact make you a smug and unoriginal dipshit since you obviously can't come up with an original justification for your overly pious stance. Good day sir.
My point really is that the contract and ETF fees are a ripoff. They are no longer providing the service to you so why should you have to pay for it. Its more like AT&T canceling you contract and still providing you the service.
I don't think that AT&T is taking a loss by waiving the ETF, more like they are not capitalizing on an undeserved profit. Kind of like the bank taking a loss on a foreclosed property. The bank still owns the property, they just didn't collect all of the investment income, but overall they still have the property.
This pretty much sums it up Thanks Hatta!. Be as angry as you like. My opinions of scouting are based on first hand experiences. The scouts, for as much good as they do are little more than a hate group and their core values are reflective of that. I'm sure the Hiter Jungen did a great deal of good for their members as well, but when you indoctrinate children with a narrow world view, bad things will eventually happen.
He's just trying to boost the Indian economy by creating a new sector of tech support people thus supporting the bubble and burgeoning middle class in India. The migration of millions of tech support and call center jobs has created a middle class in a formerly 2 tiered country. Now that they are starting to lose those jobs due to rising wages, he's looking to expand it is all. Oh, and you got to keep the people ignorant too.
Don't forget the bigotry! Boy Scouts of America loves them some hatin' on the Gays and Atheists, but I guess you covered that with the religious agenda part.
Seems to me that you're a little to invested in your love of Apple. Personally I don't think iDevices are bad things other than they are horribly overpriced, but the fanbois are annoying thing about them and you're kind of proving that with your above post. I'm just saying that you fanbois couldn't possibly believe that your Sacred Apple would dare do something that isn't in your best interest.
That's what I was thinking. When this came out yesterday about HTC and RIM people went nuts on this forum about privacy, but when it comes out that Apple is doing it too, well it couldn't possibly be the benevolent apple overlords are doing something inappropriate. Hell, they are going to start touting it as a feature pretty soon.

That just shows you how devious they really are!
I love the irony in that. Politicians love the invisible hand of the free market, yet are wholly unwilling to allow it to act in this instance.
I really like how the Mole People are pinning this on the Mexicans. They are obviously more clever than I thought they were.
yeah, what he said... Now I wish I had cancer.
Or a pill to cure ED. Where the hell are your priorities anyhow?

Yes "professionals" performing "scientific experiments." That professionals line always makes me laugh.

The epicness of this is only highlighted by the horrible horrible truth of it.
you would think that someone with "IT" in his title would have some vague idea of the ridiculousness of his proposal.
Sir, you must not deal with IT management very often.
Try being a Scout in Idaho or any other predominantly mormon area.
I can see where you're coming from, I have similar issue, but my problem is more with fat fingers than anything else.
Also the Mercedes won't get you laid like and iPad... oh wait... Maybe a hundred would. Well I can't use a Mercedes to order chinese food online!

Ok so yesterday you were vehemently defending FB and before that you were ranting about how windows phone 7 was the new messiah. I'm not sure if you have any credibility left on the issue of phones or privacy.
