...and they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.
Saying "I hope you DIAF" is not a threat. Saying "I will shoot you in the head" is a threat. The examples at the link you included had plenty of the former and none of the latter. AFAIK, the former is legal.
Are they pro-life with respect to the organisms that cause the plague?
You don't have to go that far. Just ask them if they support the death penalty.
You'll be amazed at how many "pro lifers" think that killing people a few years after they're born is fantastic.
Which is one of the few areas where I give it up for the Roman Catholics. As an organization, they are fairly consistent, being against abortion, the death penalty, and most wars. In the US you are more likely to find a mix and match set of 'pro lifeness' moreso amongst the evangelical Christian churches.
I saw a prototype of this system once. One major problem you didn't mention is that only one defensive missile can be in the atmosphere at a time. A second cannot be launched until the first either hits a bogey or escapes.
Oh, and the 1-bit problem? On the version I saw, they jazzed it up a bit with a dyed mask covering parts of the screen.
'Greatest' generation? They raised baby boomers, indicating that there was at least one thing that the 'greatest' generation royally fucked up. (And that's overlooking their enlightened attitudes regarding queers, niggers, kikes, and all sorts of others.)
Those are for the Eastern Europeans that work there over the summer, and they have to pay a certain amount for rent. Sandusky doesn't have much of a housing market for college kids.
FTFY. With so many schools starting fall semesters earlier and earlier, Americans are losing competitiveness with Russians and other who have more flexible schedules. Happening in lots of resort towns as well.
Good point. Much better than the froth and venom spewing from GP.
Wonder how an Android/iOS interface would differ if it was limited to resistive screens? (And I don't mean how would some nasty Chinese toilet tablet work. How would things be different from the ground up with resistive screens more firmly in mind.)
Shit relative to computer sales at the time or tablet sales of today.
Why the haterade for people who use computers in a different way and for different reasons than you do? "Poke-and-drool"? "Computer illiterate"? Is it necessary to tear down others to make you feel better? Do you simply not know how to communicate your thoughts and ideas in a more positive manor? Let go of the negativity, man. Your blood pressure will thank you.
Just like microsoft had a wait and see attitude with mobile phone OS then iOS and Android swept the market and then they released windows mobile 7 to a world that didn't care.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. Microsoft entered the mobile device business long before Apple and Linux, the problem was that they sucked.
I dunno. Someone upthread remarked on the Apple Newtons, which were released a couple of years before the first release of Windows CE. No idea when Windows Pen first came out. Certainly none of these early attempts were that much earlier than the others.
But your basic point seems mostly correct: Microsoft did have some initial offerings that considerably predate Android and iOS. Perhaps OP is referring to Windows Mobile 7 & 8?
Did they have goofy oversized widgets for sloppy finger-based simple computer usage by retards? No. They were pen based. You know..... for functional useful software in a professional environment instead of a web browser on steroids for morons that can't type or write legibly anyway.
And the sales figures for all of these were shit. I think you agree with Intel: it's all about the software.
yea but by the time I download it, archive it, use my discs.... is it really any less effort than driving to walmart and getting a boxed copy on a stamped disk?
If you're holding out for a candidate that's not "fucking crazy" or "internet ignorant" I'm afraid you're going to have to set this election season out. Probably the next few too.
Shit, and since Michelle Bachmann dropped out, I also cannot choose 'all of the above'.
Slashdot Mirror
The U.S. is like the European Union. A single whole but composed of multiple sovereign governments that retain most of the power to themselves.
The Articles of Confederation called, they want their theory of governance back.
I guess that'll be the end of RIM. Last year it was REM. What's next? RAM? ROM?
Oh dear God, please don't let it be rum!
"Copyright infringement."

I was just skimming because I don't give a shit about internet blowhards. Most of the ones I saw were douchebags, not threats.

Malthus called, he wants his 18th century illogic back.
This is really not so hard. With the death penalty the person is guilty of a heinous crime.
I find your overabundance of faith disturbing.

I don't know that Ford was a socialist, but he was a big fan of National Socialists.</godwin>

Way to make the Randroids seem sane.

His wife appreciates it because she can have affairs with men from all over.

People are buying the Galaxy Tab?
Now that there is a CA$100 price drop someone might.

Don't hold back. How do you really feel about firefox?
yea but by the time I download it, archive it, use my discs .... is it really any less effort than driving to walmart and getting a boxed copy on a stamped disk?
It depends on how drunk/stoned you are.
I have to agree with the *AA's on this one. Anyone with a copy of "Ice Ice Baby" is a criminal.
If (unlikely) Megaupload is found innocent, then their servers will be restored and service resumed.
What are you, 12 (asking because of a lack of historical perspective, not lack of logic, reasoning, etc.)? Ask Steve Jackson how that works out.
For some reason, the writing sometimes seems odd to those who aren't living four simultaneous days.
