oh? they have 100% spam filters now? see, my statement was based on the simple idea that if you're even looking at spam at all that it has slipped past the spam filters and into your inbox. WHOOSH!!!!
sorry, my spam filters work too good. by far the best spam filter i have is called reading the subject line and looking at the reply address. it's a pretty advanced filter though, i wouldn't call it common.

i'd be inclined to agree but i think the most effective spammers are the ones that know colloquial english dialects, since they are the most difficult to detect by old ladies and pencil dicks. chinese english speaking spammers are probably most effective spamming canton or hong kong than america, or even say, india. i could be wrong.
i'm wondering about possibly building neural net-type quantum computers by creating a crystal lattice circuit design using this 3-d printer with cerium-monophosphide (notice: document behind paywall) instead of silicon. fuck that, i'm just going to write a sci-fi novel about it instead.

dr. albert hoffman, the creator of LSD, took it until he died at 90+ years of age. he took the hallucinogenic type of LSD. that moron doper was many orders of magnitude more brilliant than you will ever be.
"I believe that if people would learn to use LSD's vision-inducing capability more wisely, under suitable conditions, in medical practice and in conjunction with meditation, then in the future this problem child could become a wonderchild." - Dr. Albert Hoffman
"Of greatest significance to me has been the insight that I attained as a fundamental understanding from all of my LSD experiments: what one commonly takes as "the reality," including the reality of one's own individual person, by no means signifies something fixed, but rather something that is ambiguous — that there is not only one, but that there are many realities, each comprising also a different consciousness of the ego." - Dr. Albert Hoffman
quantum physics is coming closer and closer to proving him right.
and one final slam for you: LSD is hardly considered an addictive drug; users of LSD are not addicted to it physically. and people can be psychologically addicted to anything, even water, so that argument doesn't hold...water.
"Although one of the most potent of the hallucinogenic drugs, LSD is - unlike PCP, for example - not physically addictive..... In fact, most users choose to decrease or stop using LSD as time passes. People can still become psychologically addicted to LSD, in the same way that they can become addicted to any other substance or activity that fulfills a psychological need for them.....
Treatment for psychological addiction to LSD will differ from treatment for physical drug addiction because there is no withdrawal period. Rather, it will bear similarities to treatment for other addictions to substances, activities, or experiences that are not, in and of themselves, addictive. Behavioral-cognitive therapy is often employed." -- http://www.lsdaddiction.us/content/lsd-addiction-and-tolerance.html
i upgraded from 3.6 to 5 and only the one already-disabled plugin was still disabled. all my other plugins for 3.6 work fine in 5, and they include firebug, yslow, colorzilla, dummy lipsum, etc. if your plugins are breaking, the developer of those plugins probably sucks at mozilla development.
no, you misunderstood it completely. everyone is now dumber for having read your post. you can most certainly NOT play the game again without buying a new 3ds. the save file affects far more than just the unlockable content. keep up the wishful thinking, though.
the complete phrase is "I could care less, but it's not worth the effort." later shortened to "I couldn't care less." both are valid, one just assumes you're familiar with the phrase. i'm going to adopt your high standards and declare that anyone that doesn't know that is, and always will be, a fucktard.
another phrase you are probably embarrassing yourself by saying:
"the road to hell is paved with good intentions." samuel johnson's actual quote is simply, "hell is paved with good intentions." some fucktard added the "road to" part.
also, all you grammar nazis should report the following to your fuhrer:
1. irregardless means the same thing as regardless (and yes, it is a word)
2. inflammable means the same thing as flammable
3. you will never catch them all, because you are the type of person whose brain throws a blue screen of death when the syntax used requires the listener to evaluate the meaning, or in other words, listen. basically you are about as intelligent a human being as a computer that chokes on a missing semicolon. you are fit only for taking orders, and you can't even do that right failing any kind of mental acuity at all.
The Good: designers are now in control of design and UX, meaning the product looks great. this is a boon to developers too, for when we show off our work nobody looks at the screen and says "i bet the code behind that is amazing." they judge your coding ability on how well the designer made it look (or more accurately, how close you rendered the designer's vision with your front-end code). this means users no longer have to click through 3 pages just to finally download that file. it means products tend to follow some kind of standard for things like dropdown lists of US states or calendar pickers for date ranges.
The Bad: designers are now in control of design and UX, meaning they will throw a "Login" text link here and there, completely disregarding what that actually means to a developer, the deadline and client expectations. or they might completely omit the use case for an unsuccessful form validation, leaving the developer in his former role of making shit up for UX. designers will do these things because they are not computer geeks, and have no comprehension that a "Login" link means designing a database, a user authentication system, password retrieval system, etc., or even how long that will take.
in the end you've just replaced one set of problems for another, and the only solution we're gonna come up with for the next few hundred years (who am i kidding, we are not going to last that long as a species) is to go back and forth between who has priority, designers or developers. god forbid anyone should cross train both fields (like myself). because design is not really so much about art production as it is about problem solving. at least, the good designers know this.
nope, not complaining. i just think it's a point that such a law can be exploited easily, and the chances for that increase when you release law enforcement addresses in an area that is already riled up about a lot of things, and permeated by the mexican drug cartels and skinheads who think they're political activists. i think the same scenario is far less likely to happen in san diego or even los angeles, and only slightly less likely to happen in las vegas; for various reasons, not just the heat. and yes, i've lived in all of those cities before too.
A gun is a gun is a gun. Either you're okay with them, or you're not.
you know that's not true, you're just being lazy minded. not speaking for myself here, but there are quite a few people who have something to say regarding fully automatic weapons and single shot weapons. and who manages the definition of a gun? at one point is a cannon mounted on the side of your home not a gun and when is that the same thing as a handgun?
maybe what you meant was, either you're okay with how they're used or you're not, and that's on a per-case basis
roachie, i hope you're right. but then, you sound like you might actually be from phoenix, and that's no consolation. you raise a good point though. the likelihood of a violent outcome does drop dramatically when you remember people living under these same conditions are so stupid that they probably have no fucking clue there's a list of their law enforcement personal info floating around the internet. also, since none of them like to obey the "No Red Light Running Zone" signs posted at quite a few intersections (i shit you not, people) they will probably get pulled over before they can find arpaio's house. oh, nope, forgot, they'll just get a photo ticket sent to their house. after all when you can't face your accuser there's no need to worry about the home address of the ticketing officer being released.
seriously though, eat a cmdrshittaco and die. preferably alone out in the woods somewhere so no one has to deal with your corpse.
Aren't those sorts of guns usually, you know, big and therefore difficult to conceal whether it's legal or not?
you've never seen desperado.
ok seriously. you might not be aware that carrying a weapon in your car is considered concealing it if it is not holstered or in plain sight, or if your car isn't marked to indicate you are carrying a weapon. you probably have also never seen anyone ride down the street on a bicycle with an ak-47 laid across the handlebars. i have. so you're right, there's no connection between large assault rifles and concealment. even if you conceal it in your car like the dc so-called-snipers, it doesn't mean much. the point about concealed weapons is that it used to be regulated by permit, but not anymore. so now tracking down that gun used in a crime, committed by someone who wasn't wearing on their hip or shoulder, is even more difficult than it was when it was just unregistered. it means if a criminal can have a list of law enforcement home addresses s/he can conceal their weapon legally, even be stopped and questioned with it, before they use it on an officer.
not complaining about the no-permit conceal law, just pointing out that it's there because it's not a normal thing, and that its ability to be exploited raises the chance that it will be. imo, especially when you dump a bunch of gasoline like law enforcement addresses on the fire. only time will tell. i don't wish violence on any police (actually i'd like to see arpaio whipped like a puppy with wet towels by female illegal immigrants).
Speaking of "disproportionate," isn't Arizona a popular state for retirees?
i think you are getting the picture. yes, arizona is popular for retirees. that is why there is an unequal, or at least unusual, balance of this demographic. it is disproportionate because there are more retirees than you would find in most other places.
This isn't about version numbers. This is about end-of-life for "old" versions.
this is exactly the source of the confusion. the "end-of-life" for "old" versions is solved by upgrading to the next highest version number. simple and plain. instead of sporadic updates on minor versions and RCs, you have a solid, scheduled update cycle. maybe it's mentally traumatic for the confused to shift the paradigm in their heads. you don't have "support for ff4" and "support for ff5." you just have "support for firefox" which now comes in the form of more frequent new versions. it should be obvious that between ff5 today and ff8 in december that nothing huge is going to change between versions. just like it is with chrome.
As person involved in the corporate deployment of Firefox, I think it’s a really bad idea. Companies simply can’t turn around major browser updates in six weeks (and each one of these is a major update).
except that they do with chrome. and even with microsoft when it bundles your version upgrade into automatic updates. not saying firefox is as safe as chrome, and not disputing asa's ambivalence toward enterprise users. if i play devil's advocate for your side i still conclude that the microsoft rep was defeating his own straw man. if the microsoft rep wanted to be forthcoming he could have made that point himself, but he's using your natural tendency to infer that firefox is comparable in security. notice that he didn't go after chrome for their similar update/release cycles.
What's relevant isn't that Firefox's version numbers are going up so fast per se, it's that no version gets more than six weeks worth of security updates.
it is very relevant that firefox's version numbers are going up so fast, since your precious security updates are simply labeled Firefox++. (that's an increment operator, for the non-programmers). what i think is worth noting is that firefox's solution should really be to make their version upgrades as seamless as they are with chrome. reading the comments on this article, it looks like several linux users have already noticed, or more accurately not noticed, seamless firefox upgrades.
class 3 weapons start at roughly about $3k at az gun shows, from what my gun collector buddies who live there tell me. i have lived there briefly as well.
you seem like a reasonably intelligent person. please don't take each of the points separately and debate them on separate merits. each of the points is a color painted onto a bigger picture, which is the state of mind in a place that has all of these situations all at once. by itself, owning a class 3 weapon is not a problem, nor do i personally have anything against it.
i have fired a mini-14 and wouldn't mind owning one (i'm not going to get into the mini-14 vs. ar 15 because we have enough religious debates in here already). i fully believe that the second amendment was implying that the american revolution couldn't have happened without private citizens not just willing but able to fight against oppressive regimes. whether enough of us decide the current government qualifies as such and deserves an overthrow is another topic.
put plainly, what do you think the mindset would be like for people living somewhere where: the most dangerous types of guns are easily accessible (again, by itself not a problem), and legal to conceal with even less accountability than before; the heat is enough to induce strokes, increase general attitudes of anger, and otherwise impair judgment; the heat is enough to also impair cars themselves, which are being driven by a disproportionate number of people who have not been tested in over 40 years, engaging in road rage helped along by the same heat, in a community of a disproportionate number of both senior citizens and users of meth (another source of anger); law enforcement feels like it's still the wild west; and the overall culture is stagnant without direct travel outlets to and from far away cultures.
i didn't even mention the mexico drug war and cartels leaving bodies 2 weeks dead wrapped in duct tape in the gutter in front of my friend's house in phoenix. it takes a certain kind of crazy to settle there. i'm counting down the hours until some screwhead and his racist skinhead buddies (lots of those in arizona too!) takes that list of law enforcement addresses and starts a local war.
the original/. article that this article is linking to is FUD. CWmike doesn't bother to explain what becomes obvious upon reading the article. that by itself is a dishonest act of FUD. it's one thing to note that microsoft is taking advantage of the "furor of Mozilla's decision" and another to explain that that furor is simply angry confusion by r-tards who can't figure out firefox is copying chrome by blurring distinctions between updates and versions.
without the explanation, the posting of the article becomes an endorsement for the microsoft perspective that is admittedly trolling the ignorant public. if it weren't an endorsement the writer wouldn't use such flattering language like "to plead the case for Internet Explorer in the enterprise" -- that's like saying timothy mcveigh made a plea for political reform. microsoft is just using dishonest tactics to further confuse the easily confused, so either it's an endorsement or the writer is one of these confused idiots. i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
now, cue the trolls who think that by calling out microsoft i am somehow pitching for apple... do your worst, morons. i eat applescripts for breakfast and shit kernels of panic on your zealotry before my 2:30 coffee.
