the sense of entitlement amazes me. "it's inconvenient for me to reach a bit to my CD drive, so i'm gonna find a way around it, as i cannot be inconvenienced whatsoever since i've paid for the software."
Well, hell yeah I have a sense of entitlement!
If I bought a car, and the turn signal was in an inconvienent place, I'd feel very entitled to install a new switch somewhere else on the car. It's my car.
Heh, no. I'm merely pointing out the absurdity of claiming that simply because one of the developers has kids, that he's some saint, and people shouldn't pirate the game solely for that reason!
I, like a previous poster, often do wind up getting cracked version of games I already bought.
Sometimes it's because I don't want to futz with a stupid physical CD, my computer is under my desk and it's hard to get to the cdrom.
Sometimes it's because someone else in my family wants to play the same game. Should I have to buy 3 copies of the same game so my wife and son can play? Knowing full well we'll probably get sick of it in a week or two, and never play it again?
If your bank that you've been using, and has been around for years suddenly has no trust, you'd have to be an idiot to continue and enter your information.

Gun companies would do pretty much anything to avoid advertising to kids. Kids don't have money, jobs, and can't buy guns anyway.

Heh, lot of good Bush will do for the unborn, when 20 years from now they enter the working world and the national debt has run away, and the economy teeters on collapse as our debts ourrun our ability to pay them back.
Well, yeah sure. "Environmental evaluation" mostly means to use common sense to keep people from playing with or under your antennas. There's no "environmental inspection" as the original post asserted (which seems to imply some sort of third party approval).
Most hams will not have difficulty meeting the requirements. In fact, most hams are already in compliance with the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) levels. Some fear, however, that they'll have to do difficult measurements, perform extensive calculations or file paperwork with the FCC. Wrong on all counts. The evaluation is often as easy as using tables to determine that your antenna is far enough away from people.
Anyway... the RF evaluation is no real problem, it's something all good hams were already doing.
In all my days of hamming, I've never heard anything about that. There are rules about how far the antenna has to be away from people, and keeping people out of a zone close to a high power antenna, but a simple tower does that pretty well.
I don't even know what to say. When I see people mention Go in every damn chess story, I'm filled with murderous rage. Can't you all just shut the fuck up about it?
Nader has far less support than the Libertarians. Badnarik is on the ballot in 48 states... Nader is on the ballot in far fewer states (34). You argue against yourself with you say that Nader is a relevant candidate, and somehow a massively more popular Libertarian isn't.

Yeah, but to quote the cliche:
What have they done for me lately?
Most of that innovation you name is old stuff, very old stuff. And as you said, a big chunk of that stuff was military driven.
It hasn't been ignored, everyone knows that's just Q messing with space-time for his own ends.
Ground breaking stuff... like ...?
Collecting dust?
A pointless low gravity lab in space?
25 year old shuttles that are more expensive than disposable craft?

You can't show that at all.

Look, I know a guy who's working on it, a really decent man. He has a wife, a child, and another on the way.
What about all the good things hitler did?
Haha, fuck em.
If they want to dick around people by only releasing the game for 3 year old platforms instead of modern hardware, they deserve whatever they get.

I don't understand... what's the controversy about? I don't see anything controversial on the ubuntu page.
Einstein's work was already in very simple laymen's terms. I don't know what the point is in trying to make it into braindead powerpoint.
Your web of trust would tell you that none of your friends think that's the real capital one website.
This is all basic crypto stuff.
Hahaha, what fucking idiots. I hope someone at Schwab is reading this right now. And I hope someone else gets fired over it.
I don't understand.
We've had the computer science to establish secure, authenticated communications over open networks for at least 10 or 20 years.
Why would we introduce some unreliable fuzzy logic when we have the cryptographic basis to stop this stuff 100%?
Heh, GTA actually changed the name of the guns in the name to be less like real gun brands:
.45 = Pistol .357 .308 Sniper
Colt
Python =
Spaz Shotgun = S.P.A.S. 12
Ingram Mac 10 = Mac
Uzi 9mm = Uz-I
MP5 = MP
Ruger = Kruger
PSG-1 =

Anti-Kerry is not pro Bush. I'm against Kerry, and ever more against Bush.
It's a battle of words.
But it has a tendency to escape quickly into the colder air around it :)
What the hell are you talking about?

You are buying into their propaganda by using their word "theft". Copying is not theft.
I haven't used IE in years, except for maybe 5 minutes here and there to make sure the web pages I design look OK, but usually as an afterthought.
