Then, ultimately, it must come down to armegeddon, and the once opressed will be the opressor. The way things look, eventually Israel will have to go nucleur. The body count will dwarf the Nazi's total. All for a piece of dirt, excuse me, holy dirt. Makes no sense to me to continue to live in an area where the only outcome is endless war. The only choices are to move and find a peaceful land for your people to thrive in, or stay and have endless war. Now, what is the answer? Your call, I really don't have a seat in this foolish game that seems to be unending. I'll shake my head as I read the latest death toll from the Middle East, then go about my day, just another witness to history.
If you build your house next to the ocean, and it gets wiped out by, say a tidal wave or hurricane, maybe you should have built more inland, away from the water enough to be safe.
Why did the Jewish people choose to build their house where all their neighbors hate them? I'm asking a simplified, serious question. There's plenty of good land to be had in the world, Australia comes to mind, oceanfront land there too. If I lived where everyone around me wants to kill me, I'd move, and let the people there find a new group to hate and kill, probably themselves or nearest neighbor. Israel's choice of location has never made sense to me.
I am a U.S. citizen, born and raised here. My country allowed the crack epidemic here to happen in order to finance their little wars. Untold U.S. lives were lost to crack whille Col. Oliver North posed for the camera and spoke of patriotism. The North Vietnamese were branded the 'enemy', war profiteering abounded. Haliburton. The list goes on, mostly rich guys get richer while they tell us who the enemy is this week.
Now once you go down that slippery slope of censorship, then you become no better than the leaders of those countries you named. The 'enemy' then becomes 'us'.
The question is, should you stay married if you are not happy?
Your kids are 'thriving', & you don't want to risk rockin' that boat, admirable. They should be the priority in your life until they're raised. No matter what, you will always be Dad to them, the most important role of your life. They can see more than you probably realize. Play it as you think best, just one advice 'thing'. No matter what, never talk in a demeaning way about their mom. What they'll really here is half of their dna is..., and will mess up their self-esteem later on in life, voice of experience here. Raise and launch them well, and you've done your job as a parent well. There'll always be time for your happiness somewhere down the line. Best of luck to you, Sir.
l'm an A.C..O.D. (Adult Child of Divorce), and the marriages that I see that workare the ones where the husband and wife are really best friends. Love is a chemical reaction in the brain that wears off in about 4 years. There better be a real friendship there after the love feeling wears off, or it just isn't going to last.
Excerpt - "Though the WiiU is a hotly anticipated new console with 39% of kids aged 6-12 wanting one, it’s bested by the iPad, which nearly a majority of kids want at 48%. And the next three items on the list after the WiiU? An iPod touch, an iPad mini and an iPhone. Are kids 12 and under really getting iPhones these days?"
So far, human brains have been superior for their ability to anticipate and catch a ball in flight, a lot of math is involved. A lot. Looks like that gap between robots and humans is getting smaller. I'm not 'too' worried, yet.
Well, 1000 years from now, most all that was done in this time will be forgotten. 1900-2100 will probably be remembered as the age of "The Oil Wars", and not much else.
No, it is not possible. The pedantic reprobate possesses a thorough floccinaucinihilipilification of the reasons of their folly, which leaves no other avenue but blunt opprobrium.
See, now that's much 'nicer', though completely impossible to understand. Point taken.:-)
I believe cyanogenmod allows you to fine-tune application permissions.
Yeah, I'm not a super-geek, just an average user who has a pre-rooted ICS tabet., so that firewall app is perfect for my needs. I've tried to root my android smartphone, always got an error at the last step in the process, and gave up in futility, found it all not to be worth the effort.
Now, about this lawsuit. Pardon my french, but who the f#*k thinks they have the "right" to ban a program that blocks ads? If its my damn computer, I'll put any program I want on it. So what's the next step for advertisers, to have ad goons come into my house, tape my eyelids open at gunpoint and force me to view their viagra ads? Screw that. And a lot of kids games will have ads that are justt "age-appropriate". , and as a parent it's my duty to ensure my kid isn't exposed to those ads. Put your webpage behind a paywall, makenyour money that way. I knew advertising had gotten totally out of hand when 'they' actally put ad displaying tv screens at urinals in bars.
And anyway, the whole reason for advertising is to get people to buy things that they don't really need. It's a billion plus dollar a year business whose sole intent is to lie and manipulate people into thinking that if they buy 'product x' that they will be "happy", and that is complete bunk! Happiness comes from within, and cannot be 'bought'. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool and a tool of Madison Avenue.
I just found "DroidWall", in the Google Playstore's "tools" section. Not meaning to be a shill for this little app, but for rooted android devices, it's a great little 'firewall'. I finally have a choice over what apps/games get an internet connection, regardless of its 'permissions'.This app should be s.o.p. for android, imo.
Now now, that's not a very nice way to exhibit your displeasure of another online post. Is it possible that in the future, you could be a bit more in control of your deportment?
I've read somewhere that if all you had to eat today was a (regular size) can of beans, then you have eaten better than more than half the world's population.
How about instead of spending billions on replacing stolen goods and electric fences and insurance we instead spend millions giving away free crack, heroin and other addictive drugs? You get a card and you can go to a drug store and get free heroin. We'd save a LOT of dollars.
In America? There's an economic system (police, prisons, judicial, lawyers, etc...) so entrenched based on drugs being illegal, that legalizing all drugs could destroy our economy. Destroying innocent human lives is far more profitable!
If businesses are allowed to do this, PLEASE tell me that they will next allow vehicle owners to similarly trap their cars/trucks from being broken into by theives. I can't think of a good way to 'trap' a window, but the metal door handle? Sure, why not? And I'm sure there's dozens of potential ways to trap a vehicle to deter thieves.
Some of the ones shown on the old 'stickdeath' site come to mind.
A former police officer friend of mine once sent me a pic of two electrocuted copper thieves, pretty nasty way to go. These two guys were trying to steal LIVE electric lines straight off of the pole, a bad career move on their part. A minor zap to deter bone-headed thieves would save lives. I'm not a licensed electrician, but 7,000 volts sounds kinda' deadly.
It's Melinda Gates, BTW.
Besides, she's so rich she doesn't need a Zune or iPod, she just hires the band to come play their music live in her in-house concert hall.;)
Oops, you're right. So, in one post I've managed to piss off two of the world's most powerful women. Meh, what could they possibly do to --- *connection terminated*
Does anyone remember when Drew Barrymore went on David Letterman's show to say how she "Rocks the Kraft grilled cheese!". Same shit here. The whole point of advertising is to get us to buy shit we don't really need.
Newsflash!!! Oprah Winfrey's a paid shill for Microsoft, but really uses Apple products!! Melissa Gates uses an iPod and not a Zune to listen to her music!! I, for one, am shocked! Shocked, I tells ya'! (ran out of exclamation points on this post)

A few nice words can go a long way. Appreciation is important
I try to maintain a policy of: Don't let a day go by without thanking someone who's doing a thankless task.
In that case... Thank You, Slashdot Editors!!!

How about one that will just break the thief's arms? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSbjgXbDUzo&feature=related
Go re-watch Robocop, and keep an eye out for the "Magnavolt" car theft deterrent commercial. Best commercial on TV!
That would be this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRNVxHPJ0hM

I'll say one thing, windows 7 is damn secure! Can't say that for any apple or android hardware.
