There is a giant gap between "punch" and "murder". Yes, both are wrong, but one of them is much worse. People treating them as the same are either apologizing for what happened, or willfully ignorant.
I was not aware that holocaust denial was punishable by death.
Also, I would only say illegal things if I agreed with them. The holocaust actually happened.
And even if you want to deny it, I am not going to murder you over it. Sure, free speech has consequence; but murder is not a valid consequence, no matter what the person said.
Is he the same guy that created that How to Avoid Huge Ships book? (Wow, it is only a $57 paperback now, it was several hundred when it became a meme.)
SimCity 4 was the start into the overly complex mess it has become. This exposed too many flaws in the engine. Just try to get people to use that superhighway you built that is an obvious short cut between the residential and industrial centers. It was the last one I played, and from what I have heard from the most recent game, a good thing.
I agree that SC3000 was the best of the series. Similar to SC2000 but a bit more content.
The device itself was released in 2013, so it is the newer of the google wireless chargers. I am not sure which standard it is using. I was unaware there was more than one standard before reading this article. And I have not tried my device on a different wireless charger.
Why would someone that has been at the cap for over a decade need to karma whore? Also, funny mods have not increased karma for at least as long.
The joke here, for people that lack either foresight or humor (and, to be fair, you are right, most xkcd jokes are just not funny); is that while they intend to merge the standards, they will probably end up either picking one of the two or creating a third one.
Note how the article (did you read it?) worded this. "set up an as yet unnamed organization" That sounds like a 3rd standards body to me. While they might actually pull this off (look at the Micro-USB charging standard for phones for an example of a successful standards merge)... I have no faith that they will actually do it.
I would be happy if they could just make a reliable wireless charger. I have a Google Android wireless charger. The thing is flaky at best. I never use it in a situation where I must rely on the charge to work, such as when I am using the phone as an alarm clock. Also it does not work with any other charging brick other than the one shipped with it. (I have tried quite a few.) And there is no way to hook it up to 12V for a car charger.
But who's going to pay for my operation? Lesson learned: don't swallow plutonium, no matter how appealing!
P.S. The side benefit was, if I had to go to the bathroom at night, I didn't need nightlights...once I started to go, it all glowed in the dark, providing sufficient light to see!
Yes, but why did you piss on the floor in the hallway?
Around here community collage is already nearly free. As long as you are a resident of the county and have at least a part time job the grants you get cover a lot of stuff.
Of course if republicans that get mommy and daddy to pay for expensive but useless private schools realized it is a way for poor adults that want to work into a better career, they would probably have the community colleges shut down.
They have agreed to merge their two organizations by mid-2015 and set up an as yet unnamed organization to “accelerate the availability and deployment of wireless charging technology on a global scale,” according to a statement Monday.
With a used rocket you risk faulty assembly as well. They have to take the whole thing apart and inspect every bit of it. But hopefully that inspection would reduce the wear and tear risk. As long as the recovery, inspection, and reassembly is cheaper than building an entire new rocket, everybody wins.
It's just like when I work on my car, there are always a few bits left over...

It bears remembering that Pope Francis is speaking in a moral fashion not a legal one.
My moral compass tells me that free speech trumps the Pope's or the followers of Islam's feelings of being insulted by it.
Just because we have the legal right to offer deadly insults doesn't mean we should exercisce that right.
Charlie Hebdo did not threaten to kill anyone. Even if they did, it does not justify murdering anyone.
There is a giant gap between "punch" and "murder". Yes, both are wrong, but one of them is much worse. People treating them as the same are either apologizing for what happened, or willfully ignorant.
It sounds more like the Pope will have one of his millions of followers punch the guy.
That was a smart idea. But I will not take the extra step and say you are a smart person... :)
Well if they went in and punched the workers at Charlie Hebdo instead of murdering them, you might have a point.
Instead, you are just an apologist.

And even if you want to deny it, I am not going to murder you over it. Sure, free speech has consequence; but murder is not a valid consequence, no matter what the person said.
So, what you are saying is: If someone says something you don't like; it is ok to kill them.
Got it... and fuck you too.

Look unless you want that giant 2 foot cube book they used to have in the library... we are going to need to leave some words out.
I read the title as "Uber Will Transit Data To Cities"
Obviously they will be using station wagons for this service.

U.S. Central Command had a weak twitter password and looks like idiots today.
Tomorrow:
U.S. Central Command had a moderately stronger twitter password but still looks like idiots.
Yeah here they just dump it in a swamp in New Jersey.

They weighed it?
So, they did not use a particle accelerator?
If anything this would protect the police as well. Was a suspect hostile enough to require tazering? Could help head off lawsuits.

Well you know what that means.
Also I English good.
I am hoping that if I working on my car a few more times I will end up with enough spare parts to build a second one.
There was a guy on ./ years ago with the sig "re-eat your corn".
Goatse is the reason consoles dominated gaming in the 80s and 90s?
