    local music scenes are never about albums or cds, they are about the shows. they are hardly being hurt by copying. Hell it may help them when they go on tour.

    Go to the site. It seems like you get one special lens for dealing with the actual Glass unit. I believe you could easily have a normal lens installed for the other eye.

    >>What about the satellites that fly overhead? Are they assholes too?

    Uhh yes, that's why the operators work for intelligence agencies.

    And yes we do have an expectation of privacy in public, granted it's a lower expectation, but we do not lose all privacy just because we leave our house. That is why "Stop and Search" is wrong and, regardless of what NYC says, illegal. But we do have the right not to be followed and recorded, hence the legal definition of harassment.

    Please, we live in a society, where we have rules and expectations. One expectation we have of our neighbors is a modicum of respect. That is what the Glassholes forget, respect for your fellow man. If it's obvious this device makes others uncomfortable, why would you insist on subjecting them to it? Sounds extremely disrespectful and rude.

    Really, having to pay for something you hopefully won't use is slavery? I though slavery was about you know owning PEOPLE.

    your argument shows how immature you actually are.

    When churches pay taxes then they can have a say in our political process, until then they should go back to the days where they sat down and shut up.

    Why should we care what any religion says about our laws. It's not like they have a great history when it comes to being moral.

    They aren't paying for contraception, they are paying for health care coverage, it just happens to include contraception as one of the many things it covers.

    I can tell you that the CEO at JWT only has an iPad anymore, and for most executives that's all they need, just something to email with. A full blown PC is wasted on most people.

    It does? Can you show me the line that says the government can pass any law and it is constitutional, or even the part that says the Supreme Court gets to decide?

    No? I didn't think so because the Constitution doesn't say it.

  20. Re:Without the sun there is no climate change at a on Sun Not a Significant Driver of Climate Change · · Score: 1

    You don't think over the millennia the earths atmosphere has stabilized to deal with the output changes that occur quite frequently. Think of it this way, yes the sun's output fluctuates but the percentage of the change is normally quite small. The Earth only receives a tiny fraction of the Suns output, so in essence the differences we feel are mostly blunted by our magnetic field and the rest is smoothed over by the oceans stored heat.

    Yes because the UK Constitution controls Belgium. Your analogy falls entirely flat when comparing two countries based on one countries laws. And the King did not so much refuse to sign, he just abdicated the throne so he would not have to. The law was passed.

    Really, how many other Software companies still support anything they released 12 years ago. Does Apple? Does Sun? Does SGI? How many Linux distros still use the kernel from 2001 (2.4 I think)?
