I figure if there hypothetically was a god (let's just assume Yahweh), then the current lack of absolute paradise is because He is trying to create a replacement and in old age actually WANTS to be ended. I figure this to be one world of many, His omnipotence's only flaw the inability to directly create a replacement. It makes more sense if you consider the plurality used in some phrases in the bible as evidence of more gods.
I'd rather die starving and lost, but free, in the wilderness, than be forced to live forever in a tiny box.
If an industry requires government mandated restrictions in the peoples freedoms for the industry to survive, then it should die. If it cannot adapt, it should die. If "America" is no longer fertile for movies, etc, then people will get movies elsewhere, as you said.
I used to "pirate" (read download) computer games from the pirate bay until I found Steam. It makes playing and getting games easy. It's _convenient_.
If they cannot beat the price of free, then they must find another way, like convenience.
If a zoo wants to keep an endangered species, fine, just so long as it's not allowed to run amok tearing people's faces off.
Someone mod him or her up please, my mod points expired. I think the problem arises from people arbitrarily (and probably subconsciously) choosing between a nihilistic view and that of whatever other view there is (idk optimism? religion?). For some reason the word "right" (and its underlying concept) is a moving point.

Honestly I say fuck the constitution, simply because I don't like people needing to quote a piece of paper to do what they want. Golden Rule + "Right" to do WHATEVER one pleases. So basically I can do WHATEVER I like, unless it directly and non-consentually hurts someone (indirectly as well, but victimless crimes are not crimes).
DOESCHROMEKILLANYONEELSESFORMATTING?ALSONEWPARAGRAPH.
Piss in the street? Sure just so long as I don't get it on anyone and sanitize the area afterwards.
Fight to the death in a consentual duel? Sure, basically same rules as previous.
Use some Ecstasy, Heroine, Crack, Ganja? Sure just so long as I don't try driving or something similar while influenced.
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
No, no, you didn't go far enough. Don't you know that every sperm is sacred and that any un-ejaculated sperm will die? So by not having sex, you're a murderer, by masturbating (through to finish) you're a murderer and even by having sex, all the sperm that don't become the zygote are murdered. All women that menstruate are murderers, because they didn't fertilize the egg.
NPARA
Wash your hands? Murdered the bacteria. Simply live? Cells wear down with time, use, etc; murdered. Kill yourself so as to not kill yourself? Murdered. Like hamburgers? Someone killed the cow. Like to eat various seeds? that's like eating babies. Like fruit? Sort of like eating a placenta.
NPARA
Life is a race to the top of the ever growing pile of the dead.
NPARA
Sex is for making babies, end of story. If you want (penis, vagina) sex, then either expect babies or make sure it's not going to happen, like get, a vasectomy, or your tubes tied. (I don't know the success rate of condoms, so not going there)
NPARA
If carrying the baby to term will kill you AND the baby then by all means kill it, if it will only kill one or the other then that's for the woman to decide. If it will become a healthy baby, and you just don't want it anymore, I consider it murder to do it, but by all means kill it. It's still in your body using your resources. Still murder, still wrong, but go ahead. HOWEVER if it is viable outside the womb, then either remove it or carry it to term.
NPARA
If someone sees something that needs clarification or if I've missed something let me know. Also yes, I know it was a joke, and I know were extremely off-topic.
WHERE DID MY FORMATTING GO??? Is it chrome that is condensing all my paragraphs into one text-block-cluster-fuck? NPARA for my returns.
Sort of. It would be more like advertising all you can eat with 1 foot plates, and then after the customers eat a certain amount, the plate starts shrinking, but not advertising that.
The elusive fanny. Even some of the most skilled hunters never lay eyes on one. They can survive in most any habitat; dense jungles or barren plains being no problem for survival.
Hmm, mine lasts two to three weeks, but I only make one fifteen second phone call five days a week and use it as a clock about ten times a day on those same five days. I guess if I turned it off when I wasn't using it I could extend that to an extreme amount, but for those emergency situations... foreveralone.
Yes NoScript uses a whitelist. I have as many things diabled as possible for sites not on the whitelist, but the ones on function as if I did not have NoSript.
I can't find any data about IE "add-on/extension" usage nor could I locate a place on their site to look for plugins and as I do not run Windos not IE I do not know if it is in some menu somewhere, though I can get to chrome's and firefox's add ons from any browser. I know some exist and I have found few sites with lists of them, but due to the lack of ease finding them I figure most users wouldn't use them. (not that my guesses are worth much)
It would more accurately represent the browsers if firefox and chrome were tested with popular extensions installed as they could cause more security threats or in the case of noscript or adblock plus lessen them. (though noscript only has around a million users and adblock plus only eleven million.
Yes if it was a test between the vanilla browsers to see those differences then add ons and extension should of course not be included, but as it was a test of security their data is possibly skewed in favor of firefox and/or chrome/chromium/iron.
WOT may filter out most malware sites, but unfortunately top users use mass rating tools and sometimes rate sites as poor or unsafe just because someone had a differing viewpoint. Sometimes even down-rating sites affilated with mal-rated sites.
I'd like to know what version of Firefox you are using where the tabs moved and the search and url bars are combined. Tha Help: About section in Firefox says my version is 8.0, whereas the most recent version from Mozilla is 8.0.1.
I'd like a search urlbar combination, though I would like one that uses Google Instant.

Is the Earth Special?
·
· Score: 1
I am not sure why redefining the lower bound of "special" is necessary. Out of all the planets scientists have observed, Earth is the only one that can support our form of life. Would that not make Earth a special planet, at least from our perspective?
Though after the 0.5 baby joke I am unsure if your were joking.
I think they just mistook the singularity of Jupiter for the plurality of planets. The mistake is common in the speech that I hear on a day-to-day basis, and then I realized you posted as Anonymous Coward...
That and honestly I would very much like the removal of different spellings of a word based on plurality. "Two cat is fighting in the alley". Of course that desire only arose after beginning to study Japanese.
"Pirated" copies do not use the original producers resources nor do they diminish them in ANY way.
Economically (in respect to the original producing company), there is no difference between a person who does not buy and does not listen/watch/read/etc the media, and a person who obtains and "consumes" an unofficial copy.
Technically even stealing a copy from Wal-mart wouldn't be stealing from the original producing company as the product has already changed hands and has been paid for.
I'm not even going to get into the moral side of the argument because I am not informed enough to do so, but every time I hear or read of someone trying to say torrenting / downloading is stealing it makes me metaphorically want to punch a baby.
to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right, especially secretly or by force: A pickpocket stole his watch.
The watch in the example was indeed stolen; the owner had one less watch and the thief had one more. In the case of torrented or downloaded data the original producer does not lose a copy, but one who downloads gains a brand new copy created with the resources of whomever is seeding the torrent or hosting the download. IT IS NOT STEALING!
Yes it is copyright infringement, but as that was not what you were saying the point is moot.
Oh and after re-reading your post I found something, that I believe to be a mistake, that brings a great big smirk to my face.:) You:"It is equivalent to going into a music store and taking a copy off the racks and walking about without paying." Emphasis on "walking about"; it is not theft until you leave the store.
Come now, that's similar to placing prerequisite the ability to switch a steering wheel from the right side of a vehicle to the left or switching from a steering wheel to a game-pad to be allowed to operate said vehicle.
Honestly, if one can simply switch distributions and be pacified by the default GUI, why should one take the time to change the GUI after every install and possibly upgrade? I can see if there are dependencies in a specific repository and one doesn't want to compile all the time, but if someone had specific needs like that they would be able to change the GUI easily.
Nope, sorry, works in Firefox insofar as it shows people's feet making letters, which I assume ( as I only checked in Firefox) is what it is supposed to do.
