Maybe somebody can be given a contract to collect the nitrates, and purify it for garden use. Does anybody know how expensive it is to produce nitrate for a garden fertilizer?
How does anybody verify that 2 messes are equally messy? What if 1 mess is stiffer and harder to untangle, even though it's not as confusing? I think that we've all seen knots that were really tight, but simply knotted.
If this is all just for fun, then it's no big deal.
Actually, it's even more efficient to shoot the shooter, and then insist that he wear ballistic armour. When he finally puts it on, then shoot him in the head, and then insist that he wear a helmet.
Lather, rinse, and repeat, until he dies.
You are basically subjecting yourself to his logic, as opposed to subjecting him to his logic. You are letting him play by a different set of rules, as opposed to oppressing him by his own rules. We should be free. He shouldn't. We don't need to learn anything. He does.
Did the victims have to go through all that red tape, or could the bad guy have exercised a little intelligence and personal responsibility? What idiot thinks that he can make all of this information public? Does there need to be a EULA with every single photo being sent? Does there need to be a contract being read and agreed upon every time you buy food at a restaurant, or can we automatically assume that you want your food being kept clean? Do we need to have a contract stating that your credit card is private, or is it safe to assume?
As far as I can recall, I don't actually blacklist anybody, but the idea is that they weren't responsive to the first attempt at unsubscribing. So, blacklisting them, after the first attempt, will at least prevent them from disturbing me.
A good real example is some kind of tech expo. I keep getting announcements from them. It's very annoying. They only let us unsubscribe from the announcement for the specific locale [e.g. we can unsubscribe from San Fransisco announcements, but not from the entire list]. We can argue about what is and is not spam, and in this example, it's probably just a lack of compliance, and not some kind of scam or anything deceptive, but blacklisting them would avoid any disturbances, and allow us to avoid a debate about what is and isn't spam.
Yes, they are unsubscribing, and yes they aren't saying that they never want anything from that domain. I'm just providing a specific solution for a specific problem. I understand that it's different when a domain has many lists.
I don't use newsgroups/usenet, so I can't say for sure. However, it does make sense. I think that having different technology for different situations is the right way to go. I don't understand why people keep abusing technology. I hate it. It messes things up for everybody.

While you're at it, don't stand in the street when he is about to drive by. In fact, don't stand on the sidewalk either. Just do whatever it takes to get out of the way.
That's a good idea. It would also act as a moderation system. If I unsubscribe from something twice, then the system should regard that as spam. The first time would have been a legitimate unsubscribe, but the second time means that the sender wasn't being responsible. Hmm, actually, there could be no second time, because of the private black list. But still. Also, it would be a way to force senders to comply to a standard, or not get through to recepients.
You're quite smart. I'm actually impressed.
How would you deal with a user who wants to sign up again? If I have about 500 addresses on my black list, and if I'm too lazy to do anything other than click "Spam", then isn't it likely that I'll not sift through my black list to remove the address?
Yes, me too. I'm shocked that there is anybody deliberately doing this. It's messing up the filters for all of us. It's clouding the problem, so that more spam can get in. I have no problems against legitimate senders.
I think that you are right about women doing a better job of keeping the house looking nice and tidy. Women probably love Ikea more than we do. I'm just generalizing, but I wouldn't be surprised if the best bachelor pad is just mediocre compared the best mainstream family household. It's apples and oranges, but still.
You're right about it being as rewarding as we want to make it. This is true for all jobs. I really hate it when feminists make it sound so bad. They really are insulting the women who want the job. They certainly aren't helping men to look at it in a positive way.
Plus theres nothing like a Hispanic barefoot chick with a straw broom in the kitchen:).
LOL I agree with almost all that you said, but this I take issue with.;^P I don't discriminate against Hispanics. I want all women to be treated like that.;^P And they can clean the washroom while they are at it.;^P
That being said, I seriously do believe that men should do a bit of each chore, just so that we are constantly aware of how much work it is. Also, it gives us incentive to reduce the amount of work [e.g. do we really need to use 2 cups instead of 1?]. I get really angry, when people make extra work for somebody else without any concern for that person.
I've found that a lot of things that we learned in school never really helped us. It's not that I want to hide it from anybody, but the amount of time that we spend doing it doesn't really make a difference.
Take my political system, for example. Whether we vote or not, whether the government votes or not, doesn't really stop the corruption.
Also, if we look at what we teach kids, before they go to any kind of school, we tend to get most of excited about when they create things, or when they solve problems. "Look at how good she is at drawing!!!" "He can read like a 9 year old, and he is only 6." "He can calculate 1234 * 987 in his head!!"
I don't think that I've seen anybody be naturally good at history or knowing the political system.
Also, if you look at the types of problems that plague us today, it's always the same, but different. For example, with Ask Slashdot, we ask each other for our experiences. There are always new questions that we have to ask. I guess, that what I'm trying to say is, instead of trying to study history, maybe we need to study how to find answers.
Another example is the US Constitution. Does it really matter what the founders intended? What if they didn't consider blacks to be people? What if they meant "seperation between church and state" in a different way? I don't think that it would matter 1 bit, because we'd still want what we want, and we aren't forced to do things, just because somebody meant something.
You say, "I have wondered this myself many times.". What have you come up with? Are you still debating about it with yourself?
That does sound silly, but some transit systems have bike racks on all/most buses. So, he could bus to work, and bike home. Or even better, he could bike casually part way, and then ride the bus the rest of the way, and then bike home.
I hate it when LRT has to wait at traffic lights. I just don't understand the value of having LRT when you have to wait. It might save the government money because it won't have to hire as many drivers for longer sets, but it would take so long to get that money back.
I like bus routes with only certain bus stops, but it makes no sense when the bus isn't full yet. In my opinion, they should have just added lots of stops and started removing them, once the bus fills up. I wish that a lot of the unused routes would do that kind of stuff.
Ah, good point. If there is no discussion about selfishness or what a person really wants, then history just becomes a list of facts. I never thought about it that way before. That really makes sense now. Every time I watch a historical movie, I'm always trying to put myself in the character's position to see if that is what I would do, or whatever. I guess that children can't do that.
That also explains why a lot of children's programming seems to be so shallow. I used to think that Transformers used great story telling. After watching it as adult and after developing writing skills, I began to realize just how shallow it really is. That's the same with Superfriends.
I'm 34. I don't know why I am more motivated these days, than when I was in high school, but I suspect that it might have to do with maturity, and the ability to store the information. I remember studying history and politics in high school, and none of it made any sense. Somehow, the motivation has to carry the student over to the point, where his own curiosity can take over.
I agree. The truth is we all need as much motivation as possible. People should reward each other for success and failure. The only thing that matters is what kind of reward. Something pleasant for success would be nice. Something painful for failure would be good too.
For me, money was never really a huge motivator. Unfortunately, I also let myself slack off.
it's these two funny little things at the end, called feet - they're made for walking. an no offense, but really, "It is not unusual for schools to be isolated on the wrong side of major highways" would suggest you *BUILD A BRIDGE ACROSS IT* rather than buying (and maintaining) a fleet of buses to pick up kids *twice a day*.
That's funny. I agree with you. It reminds me of a saying that I heard just recently: "Build a bridge and get over it.". People need to quit whining and start solving problems. Sometimes we'll need to roll up our sleeves. Sometimes we'll need to put on our thinking caps.

Hi. :^)
definition: clearer
Hmmm.... Think "clearer", perhaps?
I must infer that you are dictionary-non-user. ;^P
I don't know if you're trying to be funny or not.

They can actually claim fraud, eh? It should be interesting to see how this specific case turns outs.
That's a good point. :^D It'd be too easy to allow him to not honour his offer.
Actually, it's even more efficient to shoot the shooter, and then insist that he wear ballistic armour. When he finally puts it on, then shoot him in the head, and then insist that he wear a helmet.

It's that simple.
You misunderstand what guilt by association is. I must conclude then, that you have very poor reasoning skills.

Maybe they shouldn't get any salary at all, then. Any normal person could use it easily.
You are not describing the free market. You're describing anarchy or the tragedy of the commons. The free market needs rules to set boundaries.

Maybe history isn't good for children?
I agree.

Thank you for voluntarily taking resposibility.
By the way, what funny thing did he notice with your eyes?
