That red button that you suggest should also shut down the computer and restart it into a different mode, so that the user can see that the operating system is no longer working. That should scare the user a little, so that Joe Sixpack will know that this is not for enhancing his web browsing experience.
Altering an MBR should be as hard as installing an operating system onto a blank hard drive.
Have you been getting them 5 at a time? I have been getting them 15 at a time, and often times I wouldn't be able to finish using them, before getting more. I only modded up as insightful, interesting, or informative.
According to "The Innovator's Dilemma" and "The Innovator's Solution", hunger for profits when establishing new markets critical. After you get a profitable foothold, then hunger for growth is critical.
Fair enough. I never claim to be open minded, because I never want to let myself off the hook.
That being said, I am quite confident that I did not break any of those 4 rules. I focused on the article and the video. If you can see otherwise, then let me know. I don't like to cheat. Be sure to cite sources, though.
In summary of my point: I can't claim that she did or did not think through adoption properly, but I do not think that it is fair to give her the benefit of the doubt, when we have the natural tendencies to not adopt. You know how hard it is to convince people to act altruistically. Many ideas labelled as altruistic can be bad for the greater good, and even when it is good, it costs us so much to do it. That being said, how we honestly assume that she thought through the issue properly?
I'm so glad that I checked the note and your reply. I thought that the note was for your previous message.
I took a skim through the Wikipedia page. It's very interesting. I think that it's hard to know exactly what the whore is, because it isn't fully formed. I'm sure that there will be elements of the UN in there too. I do think that you are right though, in that the corporations will play a huge part in it.
I'm too lazy to check, but I recall you saying that you are not a believer, so I really appreciate you discussing this with me. Discussion of the end times gets me excited. I'm not into naming names [e.g.: "He is the antichrist!!1!"]. I'm more into understanding the political themes. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly which government to support, but if we can understand where things are going and whether or not they should be going that way, then at least I can take a stand on an issue.
For example, in Canada, where I live, Canada Post is on strike and locked out. I'm usually tend to dismiss the unions, but this time, I will have to go against my tendencies, and side with the unions, because the Conservative government has a tendency to castrate public services by selling off prize assets and cheap prices. By selling off great companies at cheap prices, the government is whoring itself. Without these great crown corporations, it is hard for the government to be independent. 1 critical issue in the Canada Post issue is the fact that it is a government corporation that runs at a profit, so there is no excuse to sell it off, or dismiss worker concerns.
By the way, if you were waiting for a reply, then I want to say sorry. I honestly didn't know.
It is not obvious. Obviously, she is not married, and she has a boyfriend.
How long is a long time? 1 month? 2 months?
Every voice matters. If I speak out for the orphans, then who are you to criticize?
In the entire article, there is no discussion of the orphan's needs for a home and adopting parents.
I'm not saying that she absolutely needs to adopt. My former cousin [it's a long story] was adopted, and it caused a lot of problems. Giving birth to children must be a wonderful experience.
You're just arguing against straw men, and not really thinking about it fully. You thought that she had a husband.
I'm just saying that the article does not conclusively say that she has put enough thought into it. Rather, it just assumes.
That part is not enough information. She just says that she has been thinking about it for a long time.
At the end of the video, the mother is quoted as saying "to save our daughters from the pain and stress of infertility and give them the beautiful gift of pregnancy and motherhood".
Honestly, what have they been thinking about regarding adoption? For them, was it a question of adopting or not adopting, only if the transplant fails? Did they think in terms of having a child no matter what, and then choosing the operation first? How long is a long time? 1 month? 2 months?
Everything implies that giving birth is the first priority, and that she may not have given it the same thought.
No, I'm implying that the article does not give enough information to conclusively say that she gave it enough thought. The context tends to imply that being able to experience childbirth is her greater priority, regardless of the ease/difficulty of adopting.
I have been absent minded lately, so if I have missed some details in the article, then please do share.
:^D This is Slashdot, so your comment would have fit in with the context. I actually know a Slashdotter who supports aborting children up to 2 years of age. I thought that he was trying to make a point, but he really believes it.
5 jobs, eh? That's something worth remembering for Father's Day.
I never meant to imply that you did. My point is that you made reasonable assumptions, but they weren't fair, because we didn't have enough information, unless there is something that I missed.
You are putting words in "her" mouth. The anonymous coward never said that it was because "she" disagreed with it. I put the pronouns in quotes, because we don't know whether the person is a man or a woman, and whether or not the has *never* been anywhere close to such a situation. You are probably replying to a guy who hasn't, but you are being presumptuous.
Yes, you are very hasty to judge on the internet. The article/video said that she will adopt if the operation fails.
Quit judging people who speak out for orphans. They aren't statistics. They people will real needs. If the process is difficult, then speak out against it on behalf of the orphans and adopting parents.
As for it being difficult to adopt, the article/video implied that being infertile is a painful experience. In other words, the focus seemed to be about her desire to give birth, and not about her difficulty in adopting.
So, you're saying that because the idea ran through her head, she must have given it proper thought.
According to the article, suffering of infertility seems to be more unbearable than being unadopted. Some times, I think that orphans are societal rejects. We act as if there is no urgency to put them in families.
You would think that windmills are more distasteful than goatse. The fact that they are rejecting this is truly disgraceful. I'm not singling them out. It's representative of all people.
I don't understand why it is not perceived as elegant, modern, and clean.
I always thought that "whore of Babylon" referred to a whore from Babylon, but you're right. The phrasing allows for a whore that works for Babylon, or services Babylon.
If it becomes good enough, then you could finger print somebody without him knowing, if his hands are open. You could wave at him, and if he waves back, then you have his finger prints.
That's interesting. Are you able to record your voice with a microphone? Does wifi work? Can you record with your webcam? Does Kopete work with all protocols?

Then kill you. Eat Soylent Green for another week!
Your idea doesn't seem to be very popular, but I like it. I especially like bringing in a third party, because there is less conflict of interest.

That reminds me of all the times that people admittedly did not read the article, and somehow managed to use the phrase, "It makes sense that...". :^D

You are right. I looked up YouTube videos after I posted that. They were a little hard to find, but there are some that seem to make the point.
1 thing that I genuinely love about this place is the way that we recommend books and documentaries. I'll check it out.

Good on you. I read both comments, and I think that you stated it well, without singling them out.

There's no need for that. You just have to photograph a reflective surface, and then enhance!
Oh, no! That's just what the spies and the government want you to do.
