I don't want to live in a nanny state I just want to live in a place that does not take pride in how reckless it can be. It was like last summer when I visited my sister in London and was taken out by some of her friends for some drinks and to watch a soccer match. By the first 15 minutes the 4 girls had already done 3 foul-looking shots and were drinking beer, by the half there was 2 bottles of wine on the table and by 2 am there was 5 bottles of wine on the table and they were doing shots again. Now I live in Portland we drink pry 4-5 beers at a sitting on average more than the 2-3 beers that most of the country drinks when they visit a bar but I had never seen so many people drinking 10-12 servings of alcohol en masse. When I looked around the bar everyone was blitzed out of their minds and when I asked my sister about it she said since they went 24 hours a day at the bars it has been insane. By the way most people who go out drinking in Portland and London at least take mass transit home, unfortunately US mass transit is pretty spotty in places and there are towns like Phoenix where everyone drives drunk, no mass transit besides buses and they don't run at 2 am. I like living in a place with 20 hours of transit a day.
Well I am glad I live in Portland. 90% of people let you merge, most people stop before the cross walk and drunk drivers are reported pretty consistently. When I was in New York city last year it was shocking to see traffic jams because of double parking, pedestrians jumping out of the way of speeding taxis and cops who obey absolutely no traffic laws at all. At 3 AM it was bedlam with the bars letting out, the last time I saw that many speeding drunk dickheads at once it was after a Nascar race.
I doubt that would extend globally. The amount of children sold into sex slavery is increasing in places like SE asia as dire economic gloom hits not decreasing. What an americentric way to look at a global problem.
No one drank coffee that hot, it would of sloughed off your tongue and you would of swallowed it. You could not even sip coffee that hot it would of blistered your lips. Coffee was ostensibly served that hot because people wanted hot coffee when they arrived at work after their commute, we have magical things called microwave things now.
Do you even remember how hot coffee was before the lawsuit happened? We used to take hot coffee from McDonalds in Duluth MN in the early 90's and pour it on the windshield with 2 inches of ice and it would clear the windshield. We tried that this winter in Portland with less ice than that and it did not even get half the windshield clear. I am still glad the lawsuit happened though coffee should not be served near boiling to people who are in a car.
All the expertise they require if they are at this point is maybe 3 of those fields. Rocket science was especially non-trivial 60 years ago when you had to model everything by hand on paper but nowadays tools like Matlab and other modeling software make the process much less intensive. How accurate that model represents reality might take a few tries but since they have demonstratively solved many of those problems to build the avionics and control systems needed to guide the rocket during re-entry and the materials science to dissipate the heat during re-entry would get them anywhere in the world.
They may not be building what the programmers and engineers are designing in large numbers but they are designing them and have significantly more access to resources than they ever did during the Soviet times. Do not underestimate the Russians.
If people want to have a slave morality [wikipedia.org] hawking whatever and however the masters at the call center want them to than they can go fuck themselves with a rusty chainsaw.
Telephone tough guy, lol. I do it all in good fun to watch idiots get riled up, if they want to impinge themselves upon my life I will return the favor. I hope they think of my words for some time afterward; I do try to be imaginative, not just mindlessly vituperative.
I don't have some Christian good neighbor morality stopping me from enjoying myself at others' expense, but that is not the point. If people want to have a slave morality hawking whatever and however the masters at the call center want them to. I do not get myself at so much joy as I do get to better choose my relations to others' and their beliefs, actions and politics that affect my existence. I don't depend on some generic sense of good will towards everyone to orient myself morally, will not treat all strangers with cordiality because it is expected by them or you or anyone else and I most certainly will not waste good sport at demonstratively ridiculing those who are indeed culpable of their loathsome annoyances and the craven methods they use to spread them.
I am capable of much more and those that act like slaves, should be treated as such.
Feisty waitresses, grumbling grocery store clerks and others who resent their positions I have the utmost respect and admiration for. Those that feign altruism, good will and such bullshit towards every customer they come in contact with have too much the odor of shit clinging to their breath for me to think of them of anything but sacks designed to conceal 100-200 lbs of fecal matter. Fuck them.
If you do a lot of calculations, you don't care how pretty something looks just how efficiently you can get those calculations done. The last thing I would ever want is for the device I use for that to have a touch screen because the second it made a mistake in selecting an option in some highly nested menu system I would throw it as hard as I could against the wall and break out the best engineering calculator made in the last 5 years. My 48gx is lost somewhere in the Cascades after a camping trip or I would still be using that.
Do they even need an Intel or AMD chip to be in their computers, not really. A 2-3 ghz dual core chip could be pumped out of a Russian fab any day now and it would be enough for 95% of the people out there.
Lol, when people cold call me I tell them to go fuck themselves. If it is a woman I tell her she is a malodorous cunt and should die giving birth to the Antichrist and if it is a man I tell him I hope his prostrate is filled with writhing-gnawing worms and the next time he voids it in his wife's mouth they consume all the flesh from her skull.
Once, when a persistent salesman came to the office and attempted to hoodwink his way past the front desk he called the police because we were lampooning him so bad. The police were not as amused. I however could not stop laughing.
The Russian military and space program have some of the best programmers in the world doing avionics, robotics and communications. The mechanical and electrical engineering sectors of their economy are nothing to laugh about either. Russia would love you to think they are a bunch of script kiddies when they are working at modernizing their weapon programs and building ever more reliable spacecraft. The US may have better programmers in some of these fields than Russia for sure but no one outside Russia, China, India and the EU do this sort of stuff and I would wager Russia would beat all but the US on a good day.
Because the beauty of his joke was that everyone who read it would come up with, "Geeks bearing gifts", as it was just a simple substitution of one letter and at the same time educate some of the people who do not know where the original adage comes from.
The best textbooks are like this, in that they give you enough theory to draw your own hypothesis about a specific application. The worst textbooks give you a theory and than the author's own application of said theory.
I own the boxed version of the fallout game and had to pirate a copy to get the game to work on my system. Checking to see if this DLC works with my pirated copy I am not going to be giving them money again.
Your instant on problem sounds like a ballast issue, do they buzz too? They are pry filled with cheap components or components that are overstressed thermally because of poor airflow. Either way, check your ballasts.
Yeah, this story makes Slashdot sound like a rambunctious undergrad philosophy of science course. We might as well get a good textbook on the subject since this was all well-hashed out 50+ years ago.
It is not pervs ruining it for the rest of us, it is craven idiotic politicians. Pervs will just use the publicly available hack which will come out less than 12 hours after this is passed into law.
If he is not thinking that far ahead he is a dolt. So either a liar, a bigot a dolt or a combination of all three. Thanks for adding that last one. Now its a false trichotomy.
By the way, the reason I know this is because every single law review journal for the past 10 years has been talking about it. From constitutional law to workplace law to public policy and human rights it touches on too many issues for a lawyer anywhere especially one running for president to be unawares. Civil unions have been considered a backdoor to gay marriage for awhile, you just watch those court cases in California and elsewhere end up in the supreme court in a few years and they will win just as surely as the ban on interracial marriage was struck down. Obama indeed might of wanted this to happen but that does not excuse his lack of candor on this issue, because it calls into question all of his other publicly held views.
Look, I appreciate and respect many of the tenets, aphorisms and creeds of existentialism and libertarianism too but to apply such philosophies willy nilly to people that profess a faith or even venerate the idea of church or state marriage is to do them a great disservice. It is also an insult not to acknowledge that some people suffer long under centuries of stigmatization and should be given social and legal support to pursue their complaints lest we allow a tyranny of the majority. Some people live their entire lives so they may get married in front of their community, church and country. I may never get married but I would like those people to have the ability to do so and will protect their rights from people like you. Taking away state-sanctioned marriage would upset far more people than would be satisfied by the intellectual masturbation such an act would actually comprise.
Some people think of child-sex slavery, forced weddings and clitorectomies as something that can be considered part of this or that culture. Maybe they don't have malice towards the children or women involved and if you asked women who have had their clitoris removed in northern Africa over 90% will tell you that it is a right of passage, they are proud of it and would want it for their daughters but they are delusional, misinformed and incapable of making responsible decisions about themselves or others. So are people who are against gay marriage, think the world is flat or say they know if there is a god or not. These are not rational beings; therefore their cries for attention to their opinions however voluminous and vociferous should be considered extra carefully lest we allow bigotry to determine social policy. Be they atheists or religious nutjobs.
People who talk about divvying people they disagree with politically into the ranks of good and evil are the enemies of the open society and agents of historicism. Your prophet is doomed to failure because of people like you who make a human pyramid for him to climb over like a freshman at his first orgy. Oh, all is forgiven, forgotten and therefore a failure because you attack the critics not the criticism.
We are of one species. I have a vituperate tongue at times that lashes out without much discrimination when challenges to deep-seated moral standings occur, I apologize if I wounded anything more than ego. I am certain we are few us pro-lifers here; but I hope that at the very least a pro-contraception policy from the white house will prevent more abortions than GWB's misguided celibacy programs.

Anyone saying they can predict the future with an arbitrary degree of certainty is a crackpot. ---- Note the period

Yeah but it is also a mini-tank with a 10 mm auto-cannon and 50% of them will actually work.
