I agree with you. I was speaking more about revenge than anything else. The people I've encountered from my past have all grown up since then. Revenge seems completely senseless in this light. If you're acting purely in the name of revenge then you are wrong. If you are neutralizing an active threat then you are in the right (but make sure you WMD are actually there first).
I agree with what you did. What would assaulting the man have done? There are plenty of people who did fucked up (similar) things to me in my past and I seek no revenge. The events have passed. My hurting them won't help any others; and it won't help me.
"Girls seem to average around 250-350 infections, while guys tend to be around 150-250. This is anecdotal for sure, but it's what I've observed. Draw your own conclusions."
What. That you have no data and just made a sweeping gender generalization?
I opted for all quiet components when I rebuilt my system. It is now much quiter than before and during the day while other people are running around the house or talking to me it is very quiet. When house AC turns on it is louder to me. Still, in the still of night however I percieve it to be very loud.
I think you know very well how many charitable non-profits on low budgets there are. Besides I enjoy OSS. My dad's broke needed a new computer. Rather than have to pay for an expensive MS tax I built the computer out of old components for cheap and put fedora on it.
It's pretty apparent to me when the tracks I've encoded as AIFF come up on my playlist as opposed to my AAC ones (until there's flac AIFF is fine cuz disk space is cheap). The big tell is that the top end gets a lot more clear and articulate. I'm pretty sure that AAC has a tendency to cut off some of the higher harmonics and notes. It cuts from all ranges but these are the easiest for me to notice. That and the lack of richness in super-low lows.
Yes, there is such a thing as incentive in capitalism. Obscene fortune has nothing to do with this however. This is what wealth redistribution is about. After a certain point wealth stops being an incentive and starts to be theft from the masses.
Thanks for calling me on that. The problem really is that timescales are hard to measure. The problem is that the market is not perfect. The oil companies are extending their life through washington lobbies and other techniques that employ their hegemonic position. Problems arise when a transition cannot, for whatever reason, be made fast enough. Civilizations come and go; let's not pretend that we're an exception.
On the bright side, when things get perilous, we (as a species) step up to the challenge. The fact that people dedicate their lives to undoing that damage means that something went right somewhere.
Or do we? Environmental damage is impossible to quantify. There is no challenge to be met other than to try our best to live in a sustainable world. Current trends point to a severe overburdening of resources. If we do wish to rise to the challenge we're going to have to do it soon. That or face a catastrophe.
It's funny how doomsday predictions like that released by the world wildlife fund (and corroborated and endorsed by a large number of scientific organizations) a few years ago are often denounced without any empirical basis. I see a trend of always searching for a middle ground when sometimes an opposition is simply imagined in order to create said middle ground. Kind of a dialectic of wishful thinking.
I was at citibank just last week and deposited money. I'd forgotten to swipe my card. The teller informed me, after i'd deposited my checks, that if I wanted to see my balance I'd have to swipe my card. You can deposit all you want to anyone without a card i suppose.
this is just speculation. nader will doubtless get far fewer votes than last time. It's too early to tell how people will vote; but by all indications nader is going to get a FAR smaller vote than last time around.
But would building a replica of the car from scratch legal? Have you never heard of restoration or outright building from scratch old cars? Many of the restored ones are more new than old! So, I believe that you can backup your car my friend.
since the average american isn't willing to look at the issues and maybe ask for the removal of that fraud rod paige (or secretary of education) or do anything at all on a national (and barely anything on a local) level in regards to structural changes we'll just keep throwing money at schools and the innefficient bureaucracies that run them. Should we cut school money? no. Should we raise it? yes. Why? teachers are underpaid, and even in my upper middle class school (location wise) funds were always lacking. Even for things like books. But as long as the public only has to hear a buzzword like 'no child left behind' (that travesty of dysfunction) they'll assume that we're trying our damndest.
But is there any evidence that this was reagan's intent? I recall an interview with a soviet defector regarding the union's economic woes (i think specifically his quote that the military was using over half of the GDP). No one in the west believed him until after the cold war was over.
Did SDI help accelerate the Soviet Union's demise; most likely. Was it critical towards the disintegration of the soviet union? no. The USSR had been on that track for decades. I have yet to see any proof of Reagan's intent regarding this.
Additionally, let's not be quick to forget the massive debt and recessions during Reagan's term. I'll believe it when I see direct evidence that this was the administration's intent. Furthermore, analysing the effect of the disintegration of the USSR on US national security is complex. Look at the defecting soviet nuclear scientists and other nuclear concerns.
Or, he could first try and talk to the people involved. Figure out what's going on. If you read the story it seems that mr. hiibel did nothing wrong. Even if they had enough prior evidence to arrest mr. hiibel they are extremely difficult to deal with. He repeatedly asks them what he's being arrested for with and is repeatedly given the run around. I find it disturbing that the cops just walk up and handcuff him and his daughter for excercising their rights. At the very least they could have spoken to him (without obtaining his ID) and his daughter and sorted out the situation. This is a case of sloppy policework and power hungry or impatient officers.
Newsflash, urban centers pay more in federal taxes than they get back. Stop your gloating. Additionally, if you honestly think it's feasible to suddenly have us all move out to the country you're a loon. Tell you what, come back here with some hard numbers, and research, showing how we can all live this idyllic life and i'll give you some credence. Until then you're just another elitist spouting off the virtues of wherever he happens to be. Solutions are elusive, esp. when it comes to massive paradigm shifts. I find it discouraging that you were upmodded so high.
Anyway, I took a look, and decided that Microsoft is GAYER THAN AIDS.
What are you? A 13 year old sexually insecure boy? In addition to plain not being at all clever (because no one honestly believes that AIDS is a gay disesase anymore) that quote supports a damaging stereotype that has wreaked enough havoc for gay rights.
Actually, the human eye can percieve more than that. First of all the human eye has no real FPS, what you mean is flicker fusion threshold which is dependent on lighting. Secondly you DO need that high FPS in games. I can usually tell the differnece in FPS up to about 40, and believe me, it is a difference. Anyone with more info on this willing to chime in? I for one have noticable problems gaming at 24 FPS, but not at 35 or 40.
I was having muscle pains a year ago. The only medication I was on was one i'd been taking successfully for years. The doctor said it couldn't be from that because it wasn't on the symptoms list. After some browsing online I found that there were some inconsistencies between official documents. Some documenting and some not documenting muscle pain as an official symptom. I mentioned this to my doc and he delved further into it and lo and behold I was right. If it weren't for that I would have had a possibly troublesome and expensive time trying to pinpoint the problem. Thank god for the internet.

Will Smith is Will Smith. He's as one dimensional as Keanu (although his dimension is far more interesting and charismatic).
Perhaps another aspect of maturity is less confrontational discussion. Maybe an eye towards collaboration instead of denunciation? 'Grow up' indeed.

This article takes the 'Slashvertisment' to an absurd new level.

look at mozilla. Obviously it's no gaurantee, but who uses netscape 7 and who uses mozilla?

It's truly amazing what solutions there are in nature. It's a shame that we can't live less destructive and more ecologically balanced societies.

When the iTunes store came out, I went a little nuts, and probably spent more on music in 2 weeks than I had in 2 years.
Same here. Anyone wanna join a support group? I blew waaaaayyyy too much money on itms.
