I used to flip burgers. In my experience a fired CIA agent could handle that.
Aah.. perhaps a late response.. but you've overlooked the obvious.. As soon as they start flipping the burgers they'll get the workers to all unite and force the current manager/owner out, to be replaced with one who'll do whatever the cia agent and his buddies tell him to, until the restaurant goes belly up. Then the CIA guy and his buddies will buy it at "fire sale" prices, and install hidden cameras everywhere to spy on all the customers. And.. time to move on to restaraunt #2.. Not sure I'd want him flipping burgers in MY grill;-)... And you?
Hey for all the numbnuts out there, there is no such thing as 1/2 this or 1/16 that, you are or you are not, end of race bullshit. So by what ever means you gain access, whether approved immigration or birth or marrying in or adoption, you are either in or not, suck it up. Culture choices become the illusion of race as a result of racists.
You mean what you actually see in the mirror? Common sense.. rare these days;-)
I have used macs for years but I sure as hell won't defend Apple on this one. FOUR YEARS and they've said NOTHING? Instead, they withhold security updates for any system 3 years or more old. Frankly, I am dead sick and tired of the maroons that blame users for not using the very newest upgrade. Totally aside from the feeling of utter violation incurred from forced upgrades, the fact is that unlike Microsoft, Apple has recently gone out of their way to break applications on every new release, forcing developers to spend all their time that should be for coding new software, instead to repair the broken apps for free, usually. I've spent a considerable sum, on a disability income, over the years, on Photoshop and music applications, etc, and when Apple dropped power PC support via Rosetta 4 years ago, most of the devs had had enough, and upgrades were no longer free. Photoshop of course has never been, and just that alone is a grand. No, there is NOT a suitable replacement. I don't want to get into that whole "Gimp is just fine" bit, because it most certainly is not. Regardless, thios means that I have to use a 4 year old version of OSX, the last with PPC support, and yet , even though MS supplied security updates for well over a decade for EVERY version of Windows, ever, Apple refuses to supply security patches for anything over 3 years old. This is a huge security flaw, given that I can't be the only person in this position. And Mac anti-malware applications? Give me a break! Not worth the download.. I had a test file from some old AV program on my hard drive, and the only program that picked it up was Norton AV on OSX 10.1. ClamX AV didn't . BitDefender didn't . iAntivirus didn't, and the rest want MONEY for AV action when they don't even identify the few existing forms of malware. I know that's the case because there isn't a single report of anyone using these AVs who has actually FOUND a bug. If there was, it would be all over the web! Apple, and especially Tim Cook, for disrespecting your customers much that you leave it up to negligent third party developers to cover your ass, you should be utterly ashamed of yourself.
The Shah was an evil bastard. The US really should have had no business making allies with evil dictatorships just because we were scared of socialist takeovers.
Uh, that was the entire foreign policy of the US from 1950 onwards. Your suggestion of US staying out would have caused the unemployment of thousands of sleazy CIA agents whose only job was to force out legitimate democratically elected leaders in these middle eastern and banana republic countries, and install diktators like the Shah, install corript leaders like tha Saudi regime and their Bin Laden cohorts, and Cuba, The Contra crap That Senile POS y'all had for a president.. that imported all that cocaine for harlem. so he could get guns. actually said "Im proud to be a contra in spirit". WHat can out of work CIA agents like that possibly do for a job otherwise? Perhaps the mob can take them in?;-)
I'd do the "Magic Christian" thing;-) Amazing how many relieved homeless people there could be. Of course I notice because I live in the area with the hiighest level of homeless in Canada. OK so maybe some would go and spend it on booze or a rock.. Others wouldn't. Holding back assistance because you don't know what they'd spend tt on is elitist and self righteous. The only reason God allows some people to become rich is to help the less fortunate. This isn't *my* opinion, incidentally. This is what people that have died for anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours were told. By what they recognized as "God". And furthermore, in their "life reviews" the biggest question was always "what did you do for others around you?" Check it out for yourself at Youtube's ndeaccounts...
Then even people who should know better will see it as just another CLI based OS. All the "Good feelings" garnered for pre 2009 OSX and NextStep etc, were based on their human interface component. The fact in this case, however, is that there'a a huge opportunity here to create a far better interface. Something less blocky than OSX and the "Next" interface, Something with all the good improvements of Finder and Explorer, as well as all the different Linux GUIs. Something that REALLY "just works".. like Macs used to... Now *if* that can be smoothly integrated into a solid BSD underpinning..we'd have another BeOS;-)
I think of congress.. , the house and the senate both.. I think of professional politicians, I think of the White house. I even think of the professional timewasters.. sorry,.. politicians.... in the Canadian Parlaiment . And, now, increasingly, when I think politics, I think of Linux.
I should add the Google probably is doing this because the "Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed." pages it suffers are a direct result of flash overloading.
Look, I'm dancing...firstly, Google is freezing ALL flash ads.. and second, the ads aren't blocked, you can see them any time you want to. Do you REALLY think autoplaying flash ads encourage business, or cause so much aggravation the the consumers run away from their products. With me, it's the latter. And I surely can't be the only one.
Same as if power is killed in any initial write. I can't accept any drive can be psychic and know what's not yet written I suppose heuristics could fill in some missing data but it surely can't complete all the data that never even hit the cache. I'm no programmer or expert so perhaps I'm missing something here...
With trademarks, don't you have to demonstrate prior usage? Like, if you've never used it, but your competitor has, as in this case, aren't you ineligible to register it? Or am I mistaken?
...Copyright comes with a cost, and that cost is that after a limited time the work is no longer "owned" but belongs to the public at large.
Are you fucking serious? Or just mentally frikkin deficient? Copyright lasts a minimum of 90 years now, and they're pushing for far more. Nobody ALIVE would ever see it enter the public domain. Your statement is fraudulent on the very face of it.
NEVER confess to anything! All they've done is to hang themselves. Gubbermint says, "We don't like what you're doing." Your response? Are you really going to tell gubbermint, "Oh, I'm so sorry - please, just lock me away for a few decades!"
The better response is, "Prove your case, assholes!"
Torture? The dreaded Golden Girls torture? What kind of geek is that stupid? Oh.. "We'll tell your moms" OK....
what is the hidden cost or mice allready would be smarter?
They'll start to think they're rats. And that's about all. Mice will never rule the world. Mice are significantly stupider than rats. If they did this same gene alteration to rats, however, we'd have an epidemic of technically proficient rats on our hands. OTOH, think of the market potential for used 3.5" iPhones!
Problem is that "everyone has their rights", but this doesn't indicate why white supremacists aren't allowed their right to hate niggers and make it absolutely clear that this is what they feel. Or why people don't have the right to make copies of stuff they bought. Or why, if it's only licensed, why they need to buy another license for the same thing on a different medium. Or why you're not allowed the right to sell weed. Or have sex with a minor who agrees to the act. Or be a minor and have sex with an adult. Or distribute pictures of yourself to your boy or girl friend naked when the boy/girl friend is not an adult either.
Why are these rights not rights? Because collectively we decided through our respective governments that they are not rights you have to exercise because of their result on the welfare of others.
Why is it wrong to be able to say "I am a racist and I refuse to change. I hate niggers, I believe they are spawn of Satan and are not even human"? Why is it wrong to draw pictures of gruesome tortures of black people and post them on the same reddit? After all, pictures of similar gruesomely burned bodies can be seen in any documentary on the Holocaust. Violence, or realistically believable threats of violence can be argued as a right that would infringe on the more important rights to safety and health of others, so this can easily be considered restricted. But absent that, why should reddit ban hateful bigoted screeds of morons who really REALLY don't have empathy for others if they don't appear to be nearly identical with their own perceived self?
ANY reasoning to stop that can ONLY be justified with something other than "gwown ups realizing all people deserve wights". What about the right of the mad bigot?
Because you don't merely have rights and some rights aren't valid by fiat.
Rights equate with freedoms. A tolerant society should have freedoms "from". That is, freedoms "from" unlawful search and seizure, from discrimination, from , well, all those things that violate our rights to live a free and unfettered, secure life. Howevber, rights do NOT equate with "freedoms TO" engage in certain activities.. That is, freedoms to rape pillage, steal, and otherwise engage in activities that generally impinge on ANOTHER'S freedoms. So for a true understanding of whether the Russian gov't or Reddit is in the wrong, we need to look at who is supportive of the "freedoms from" end (if any), and who is acting in the "freedoms to" area (if any).
So.. all you Google coders will now be coding in.. Alpha Bits? Or is it Alpha Bytes? RTeally, I thought it was a practical joke when I first heard it. So, SERIOUSLY, Is the guy who has introduced all these doomed Google excperiments..Y'know.. the ones where they say.,,, "In retrospect, it was a bad idea we should not have attempted".. going to restructure the company and call it Alphabet? And THIS is a good idea? If I were a Google stockholder I'd reallly think about divesting into.. Apple ? No not Apple either. They always fall from the trree and rot at their EOL. Microsoft? Unsure.. GOT IT. THrow it all into Put options on QNX and Blackberry. After all the "smart money" says Bl;ackberry is toast, eventually. THey don't know about QNX though.... Bye Bye Goo.. er.. Alphabet.
Cumbersome and difficult is the "New Normal". Particularly in Mac OS, as well as Windows since 8x. OSX , though, really has been getting , just, well, difficult lately. Finding worlkarounds for all that stuff that "just works" for Tim Cook, anyways, but , it would seem, nobody else.. Finding those workarounds to make them "Just Work" for ME, however, has proven to be a little bit more difficult;-):sigh:
UNless it's loudly, and obviously, pirated, it doesn't even exist. That's the big problem with digital material. Otherwise, (and this is precisely what the bean counters in their offices do, actually) the studios can just pull a number of projected losses out of a hat.. "well, for this to have been the summer's big hit it should have sold 850,000 copies, so since we only sold 50,000, then 800,000 must have been downloaded". Never mind that only 30,000 *were* downloaded because word got out that it was pure shite.. if the bean counters say it was 800,000, then that's the number they'll take to congress to show how "unfairly" they've been treated. After all, it's congress, so they can fling the crap across the room and it'll stick to any bills those maroons in the US house introduce, and in parlaiment's, as well, every time...
Not particularly, the piracy is merely a necessity to teach a hard lesson.
I won't actually watch it myself.
Piracy says that you like their movie but are too cheap and lacking morals to pay for it. To really send a message, don't watch it at all and don't even download it illegally.
Wow!! THat's a message even a lazy guy like me can send. Do NOTHING! Yay!!
I'd love to ignore it, but it's got an advertising budget. I don't watch the telly much, but I've seen the advert for the film at least three times in the past week.
I tend to boycott anything that's so heavily advertised anyway. Not to mention, I have zero desire to see -- or pay for -- anything Mr Sandler is in. (Not sure why he's in so damned many films. Is he supposed to be funny?)
WHo is Adam Sandler? A tax writeoff for the studios? I only watch Poland television cooking shows , and Turkmenistan political broadcasts anyways;-)
