You'd be surprised how honest people can be when their job doesn't rely on what the average dimwit thinks.
... which is an excellent argument against electing judges.
I think the argument against electing judges is that they should be chosen based on their understanding of the constitution, and not on how well they wooed the audience on their talk show circuit.
... and relies on the cunning use of a rabbit, tree, and hole to tie shoelaces.
Did anyone else hate that as much as I did? My grandmother would run through that thing as if it were a pop song and here I was, not only having to figure out a technique that was difficult for me at the time, but I also had to learn some retarded metaphor about rabbits running through logs and then try to decipher that into something that could be applied to the world around me, in real time.
There's no joke there, I'm just curious if anyone else ever had the same experience...
It sounds like you're accusing lawyers of randomly picking names from a phone book and extorting money from them.
I'd say it is much more likely that this is due to the ISPs who either aren't competent enough to match an IP address, at a given point in time, to the correct physical address, or who simply don't care enough to get it right.
I think GP may have been looking for a legal way to get out of the contract. Many cell phone ISPs have clauses in their contracts that say that customers are allowed to discontinue service without fear of penalty, if this is due to changes, made by the ISP, that affect them. I don't know about AT&T's contract, however.
Most likely they purchased it through a privately held company because companies have lessened license restrictions for purchasing any class of weapon (ie, if you want to own an RPG legally, just start a corporation and you can buy whatever you want). I'm not sure if licensure is necessary for military aircraft (even decommissioned) but who knows, maybe that's the reason? Plus if they'd bought it through google maybe they'd be concerned about a shareholder backlash? These are just guesses btw, but its what I would surmise.
But if they used Google Checkout, they could have gotten $10 dollars off.
It will be interesting, to one day see if removal of a traumatic memory can help with psychological issues that may stem from it.
For example, can erasing war-time memories lessen PTSD, and to what extent? Or would said person simply exhibit the same symptoms and have no idea why?
Since the symptoms revolve around reliving those experiences I wouldn't think it would be possible if you don't remember them.
Well, I am not a neurologist, but I am curious as to how much of PTSD is caused by habit (which i assume is completely different from memory), how much is caused by the brain developing overly sensitive fight-or-flight responses, in reaction to the situation, and how much of it is purely a response to the memory.
There's no car analogy to describe my deranged stare.
What if you saw a car humping a camel while Lindsay Lohan mud-wrestled Oprah Winfrey in the back seat? Would that be a good car analogy for this occurance?

Obama is half "Black" and half "White". He's been called "Black" so many times, it's only fair to call him "White". Especially because he looks just like his White family.
I like to apply the redneck daughter test. If he were to date a redneck's daughter, that redneck would call him black, so, therefore, he's black.
Maybe I should write a publication called the $500 newspaper. I'll produce 50 issues, write a short headline on each one, mark the price at $500, and then say that, due to a special promotion, we're giving out free issues today.
Then I can write off a $25,000 business loss on my taxes.
Has anybody checked the price of a Red Hat subscription lately? It ain't cheap. In fact, it's cheaper to get M$ bundled with a server than it is to get a one year Red Hat subscription, given that you need to renew (read= pay more $$$) each year, and Linux engineers can command more salary simply because there are fewer of them than there are Windows engineers (oxymoron, I know.).
So yes, open-source as a "whole" (Articles of Confederation-type whole) will do well in tough economic times. If Red Hat wants in on this, they'll need to either lower their prices, or perhaps rethink they're "software as a service" model.
They didn't say they would survive...Just open source. Good luck with your slackware everybody.
Seriously, all they need to do is collectively start ignoring the hell out of everyone who says "nigger". Just ignore them! It's that easy! They'll try harder, shout louder, or whatever, but just ignore them harder. All you have to do is ignore harder than they shout. People say nigger because it gets a rise out of you. It's taboo, it's bad, and so on. By reacting to it you give them exactly what they want - The power to make you react at their whim. Stop giving them that power! If everyone does this, the word no longer has any power and it will die out. (For a good example of how this comes to be, look at homosexuals and their new crusade against the word "gay". It wasn't offensive to them until someone told them it was supposed to be offensive. Now that they are reacting to it and getting offended by it, usage of the word as a slur has skyrocketed. The original meaning is all but completely forgotten.)
Racial equality doesn't happen when everyone is too scared to say anything for fear of getting sued or beaten. Racial equality happens when nobody cares who is what race anymore.
So stop caring!

Good advice you donkey-raping cunt-rag.
(P.S. Anyone who wants to mod this flamebait, should take the parent post's advice).
I am neither young nor uninformed. And I have lived my entire life in a small town in a reed state, in a strongly religious family. They have taught me to distrust religious people as well, but you have to realize that a large percentage of the country are Christian and whatever fanatics you grew up around do not represent modern mainstream belief.
Intolerant fundies are simply a very vocal minority.
Damn, Dude. I spent six months being pissed off at Ben Stein for claiming that every Atheist was like you, when, in fact, I had never seen a single one. Thanks for personifying the worst possible stereotype about one of the most hated groups in America.
My tutor at university used to get us to produce reports on old papers from the really early days of compsci, the 50's and 60's.
What amazed me was how many great ideas were put forward which just couldn't have been implemented successfully at the time, and how many have turned up again many years later as "new" ideas.
There are many ideas that were invented decades ago, but people have just forgotten about.
It makes you wonder what great ideas and discoveries are lying hidden in old journals that no-one ever reads.
I am not a scientist, or anything else relevant, but my understanding is that most advances are based not on how long it took for someone to come up with the idea, but on how long it took to aquire the technology needed to make said idea feasible.
When I went to the website I saw "Error establishing a database connection". It's good to see that Star Trek is finally giving us a realistic portrayal of the future.
Origin and recipient? So they can tell the 98% of the email that arrives at my inbox that is spam, where the origin and recipient are forged, without looking at the body!?!? Please, share that tech with us, oh great and mighty Police State Overlords.
So, all they really know about you is that 98% of your email comes from China...Good bye!
Did you notice that even the people who agree most strongly with our retarded president are now pretending to be nothing like him? I'd bet that wouldn't happen if he'd had a 90% approval rating.
It doesn't matter what the economy, national debt, environment, or national security are like. If people thought Bush was doing a good job, McCain would win this election.
Doesn't Ayn Rand promote the "altruism is bad, greed is good" brand of social Darwinism that has become the cornerstone of Conservative Reagan-worshipping?

MTV playing music? Wow. I'm impressed.
No, this was from an episode of "The hills" where one of the girls was watching a more entertaining channel.
it's also an extended version of "ed" that is a very useful tool.
Yesterday my Fedora 9 updater told me that I had a security update.
For ed.
So Fedora informed you that you have erectile dysfunction and it's making you insecure...And people complain about Microsoft being "Big Brother".

He was in the military? Which one?

Barack Obama looks exactly like his grandfather, Stanley Dunham, except Barack's skin is darker and his hair curlier.
Are you sure that isn't Jason Biggs?
Obama is half "Black" and half "White". He's been called "Black" so many times, it's only fair to call him "White". Especially because he looks just like his White family.

They don't all happen to be related, do they?
Advertising + Blogs = continuance of our current model.
He just doesn't get that some people do things not for the money.
He also must be assuming that NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX are going to go out of business, because they can't afford to give their shows away for "free"
Maybe I should write a publication called the $500 newspaper. I'll produce 50 issues, write a short headline on each one, mark the price at $500, and then say that, due to a special promotion, we're giving out free issues today.
