That quote was awful. It doesn't say what you are saying at all. (BTW, I'm a resident of the People's Republic of Maryland, where everything is legal, unless done by a white male smoker.)
It's clear that Starbuck was dreamed up by the same morons who thought up Poochy. Was it just me, or was there no indiciation of Tigh (the XO) having an alcohol problem until *after* Starbuck pointed it out?
I've never heard of a pilot being such an insufferable shit to the ground crew. Any pilot worth their salt knows that their ass rides on what the ground crew does. Respect gets you much further than berating someone.
Even after knowing what she was, what she had made him a part of, he STILL quickly responded to her touch. That's some pretty powerful mojo she's got there.
One of these days, a woman might touch your 'ahem', and you'll find it doesn't take a great deal of mojo to capture your attention.
You may want to check for updates for gallery. Can't remember when they fixed some of the security issues mentioned yesterday on slashdot. I upgrade my install last night. A bit too garish, I think I have to play with the skins a bit:)
As you can tell, I'm *so* not ready to be a parent.
You learn pretty quick. And, like others have said, it gives you an excuse to buy toys. For example: I got about 150 Hot Wheels on an eBay auction for $30. My wife thought it a bit excessive, but 'it's for the boy'. Hehe.
Button mashing with the screen doing something is okay. Thanks.
I just picked up one of those $99 GameCubes. (w00+, four Zelda games. Schweet.) Of course, while 'testing the installation', my 2.5 year old son decided he wanted to play. Are there any games even remotely usable by a kid of this age? At what age are your kids (or nephews, nieces, neighbors, co-workers, etc) playing games? What kind of games?
Caveats: My son helps me work on the car and motorcycle. We read together. He loves playing outside. He finger paints and uses playdoh with his mother.
I'd ask about PC games, but I'm afraid of him sitting in my chair. If he grabs the wrong thing, the four foot tall stack of books and other junk might collapse on him. By the time he got dug out, he'd be ready for a driver's license.
I remember it because I had had an Apple//e for a few years when the ADAM came out. I was torn between apostasy because the ADAM ripped it off, and envy because, hey, it was a computer AND a colecovision.
Nothing is mentioned about an invasion of privacy or an Orwellian allusion. Only us paranoid geeks brought this out....
Nope, not 'us', but michael. Slashdot's number one asshat editor. He hasn't yet seen a city council vote that wasn't orchestrated by the trilateral commission.
Or like houses built in the last five months by morons? Have some acquantences who are spending at least $300k just on construction (already have the lot, permits, etc.) and aren't putting in structured wiring.
The portable player requires burned CDs. As does your DVD player. The SliMP3 and the Squeezebox need a network connection and a computer running all the time. I have the latter, not the former, so the SliMP3 made more sense. They're not exactly comparable devices.
To be fair, there were, on occasion, squabbles between Adama and the President. I seem to remember the President siding with the captain of the Pegasus, nearly losing the fleet. Adama was respected by the people, but the President (council??) was still in charge.
In your other note, you made a comment about the writers. Perhaps the suits at SciFi demanded more T&A??
An earlier poster mentioned composing offline, and sending in a batch. That sounds a bit odd for someone on broadband (which the blurb says are the only accounts that will be monitored) but maybe it happens? An alternative would be to throttle the sending. IOW, you can queue up 50 messages, but they will only be sent from telstra at the rate of one every thirty seconds.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. It's called the doctrine of 'apparant authority'. If Hellwig and his supervisor acted on behalf of SCO, presented themselves as being representatives of SCO, and there was no reason for Linus not to believe this, they are acting for SCO.
Now, go back and read the article(s). SCO was advertising (on their own or via UnitedLinux) many of the features they are now suing over. They knew what was going on. They condoned it. They are engaging in barratry.
Pentagon contractor buys $8000 ream of paper. At least that is what shows on the official books. Somewhere (possible in someone's head) it is broken down as: $5 ream of paper + $7995 to develop new WMD.
Interesting analysis. I think it goes a long way to showing that neither system is 'wrong', they just begin with different goals.
That being said, let me add that the reasons you cite (which seem to totally rely on 'competence') are not the only ones why a jury may acquit. Another important one is 'jury nullification'. Because of our 'one bite at the apple' rule, the jury is the final arbiter of whether or not a prosecution or even a law, is just.
Let's say the government passed a law saying you cannot wear pink leisure suits for fear of death. No court has struck down the law. The citizenry think the law is ridiculous. So nobody ever votes to convict someone tried of breaking this law. The law is rendered essentially null and void.
There's one other thing that I'd like to mention. That is the idea that 'it is better for ten guilty men to go free than to imprison a single innocent man.' Despite what our corporatized current situation is, most Americans (Texans excluded) see this as a good thing.
What it seems to come down to is that Norwegians (and probably Europeans in general) seem to think it is possible to develop a system that can be based on absolute competence of the government. Americans hold no such belief, and prefer to err on the side of the individual.

That quote must be an awful selection. Seems he's saying he doesn't want people publicly raped. Go find some better support.

And Boxey without a Dagget is lame. That's like Sammy without Dean.
Count me as an ex-Mac user who had to get out due to finances. But is looking for a way back in at some point in the future;)
I bleed seven colors.

I have no idea, but wake me for the lesbian cylon scene between six and Boomer. Note to self: buy more hand cream.

It's partially photoshopped. If that's the character I think it is (NG Resonance) she isn't wearing panties. The extra detail, however, was added.

I think it was 1979. Why so great? First 2600. You have no idea how long Combat and Space Invaders could keep you occupied when you're 6 years old.
All the other things you have mentioned were mere set dressing. Evolution, not revolution.

Let's throw in some more /. memes:
What'll I do with all these junky AOL computers?
Hmm... Beowulf cluster...

IANAL; clearly, neither are you.
So far, he doesn't use them for Frisbees. But he does slide them along the tile floor if he can't pick them up.
Offer people (more) flexible hours for reduced pay (ex: 70% of normal salary for 3/5 days work)..
70% pay for 60% work? Sign me up!! Twice!
Another factor is hiding skunkworks money.

Baby Einstein stuff is good. Put it in, immediately up to the menu. Click on 'repeat disc' and go cook.
Thanks for the idea with DVD Shrink. If I can get titles to autoplay, my son (2.5 years old) should be able to figure it out on his own.
And just like autoplay, it could be toggleable.
