I have a buddy with this huge gap right in the middle of his upper front teeth. Other than that he has perfect teeth. Years ago he went in to get a small gap closed and the idiot dentist actually spread the gap wider instead. I don't know how he couldn't tell it was going the wrong way while it was happening. After it was done apparently all the rest of his teeth were scooted by it and closing it now is not a simple procedure so he just left it. HUGE GAP for no reason.
So are you a Mormon? They're always telling me how they feel the spirit and it proves their faith to them. Guess I should take their word for it? Or are you not a Mormon and I should take your word over theirs? Perhaps you're a whirling dervish?
Unfortunately whatever you felt has been claimed to be felt by those of many different religious persuasions including those who would condemn one another. Subjective phenomena can't be used as a basis for faith as it's much too common and has many known alternative causes. I believe that you felt something and if it's helped you improve as a person that's great. I won't however take it as convincing evidence of your interpretation of scripture.
A sad thing is that Post Vatican II Catholics ought to be reading their Bible's everyday. Yet some of the older ones are still "old school" and refuse to even look at the thing. In their minds the bible = conflict, disagreement, confusion, heresy, etc... and it's best to be completely avoided.
I find this kind of blatant propaganda spreading disgusting!
The whole idea that the Titanic sank is just another media hoax perpetrated by a clandestine organization to gain sympathy for their cause.
The photo evidence? Doctored... The survivor interviews? Professional actors playing a role. The newspaper articles? A fraud perpetuated by media barons.
Notice how in popular movies the passengers on the Titanic are always portrayed as VICTIMS?? They throw in all this sentimental romanticism... don't fall for it! They're manipulating the public and re-writing history.
It's time we stand up against this and tell them we can't be deceived! It's time to teach our children the truth and turn students against their indoctrinating educators. Because if we don't then soon they'll take the reigns of power and change our way of life. It's time to stand up and say...
Thing about not talking to the police is... you're not saying they're bad people or even corrupt cops. It comes from a basic understanding of what their part is in crime investigation. They simply do NOT look for innocence nor do they let people go as suspects. Their job is to collect evidence to be used against people and let the courts sort it out. Sharing any information at all with them puts you in danger, it's that simple.
Overall it's a drag-net style of collecting multiple suspects and releasing the innocent when they're cleared of the charges, but on a personal level it can ruin your life.
I think each video should have subtitles. There's many deaf readers here on slashdot and also many like to check in at work where they have to keep sound off.
Really it's a basic accessibility feature that is often ignored. Not to thrilled about Apple's digital textbooks containing non-subtitled videos. Yay the first book I can't "read", now THAT'S thinking differently. So as more of the web becomes video more people are finding themselves shut out.
With multi-TB drive arrays I can't in good conscience recommend anything without resilvering or data-scrubbing. Drobos don't have this so eventually you're going to get some bit-rot. I'm waiting for HD prices to come down a bit to migrate my Drobo files onto a FreeNAS with ZFS.
I've already lost a movie in the drobo due to random changes, fortunately I gave a copy to a friend years ago and he still had it.
Who knows what else is rotting away? Old family photos I haven't looked through in years? A song that once sounded fine but now has clicks?
I agree there are many advantages to a cashless society but one weakness has bothered me for a while. I've personally gone mostly cashless over the last few years and have several times been unable to give anything to a homeless person. At times in the past I've offered food or bought someone a hamburger but there's not always the time or access to nearby vendors, cash is the easiest way to give a little help.
Also just yesterday I met a kid selling candy bars for his school fundraiser and wasn't able to help out there. It's almost like you have to give them card readers these days.
Liked your phone calls list, that reminds me of the time someone stole my wife's personal info and set up a phone line under her name.
A HOME phone line.
They then racked up about $1,000 worth of calls from their residence in another state. Then I get the bill. Right... I don't live there, I live here... never been there. "No problem, obvious case of fraud, we cleared your bill".
Great! No problem right? Then the cops won't investigate it. It was a landline! Not only that, the phone company sold their loss to a debt collection agency and they've been hounding me over it for 8 years now.
I dunno dude, I did a local child molester search online and saw quite a few monsters just around the corner. I figured, naaah... couldn't be THAT many so I checked each name and it took about 20 documented child rapists with detailed descriptions of their acts before I found a single sex crime against an adult.
So no, I would say that monsters aren't that rare at all and they run free in the general population every day.
When I was a kid once my dad was late to pick me up at school. A monster almost got me with a promise of baseball game tickets.
I wasn't specifically talking about Indians, but in the places I've been poor people tend to eat the same food week after week. It's true that Indian food is delicious, but they don't exactly go out of their way to learn how to make foreign dishes and try new things that aren't part of their usual diet. In other words as a Mexican friend of mine said "To you it's 'Yay tonight is Mexican night!' To me every night is 'Mexican night'".
And yes McD's, Taco Bell and corn dogs are considered a special treat in a large part of the world. I'm not talking about middle class people here who are bored with that food. I'm talking about people who would spend several days wages on a Big Mac and think it's a delicacy.
Really in the 3rd world temperature is not normally used in cooking. Stoves and ovens run off propane tanks or kerosine and only have "hotter/colder" controls. Also the oven designs are so cheap and awful you can't broil nor get a consistent heat throughout. Besides that locals normally have their own tradional bread types that better match their cooking implements. Such as roti, tortillas and that spongey bread tablecloth stuff the ethiopians make.
Really they don't cook what we do and generally are uninterested in it. They're not foodies.
However if you make them some corndogs in a coffee can on a stove people will love you forever.:-)
That's a known ADD trait, self-destructiveness and antagonizing those in relationships with them. I'm surprised it never seemed to show up in his business dealings, that is doing something suicidal to the company and wrecking things from the inside out.
Or maybe he just got lucky and his suicide moves turned out to be market successes.
It had an interesting bit about the RDF and Jobs' reasoning behind it. The basic gist of it is that while a young guy he went to India and found himself a guru while immersing himself in "Eastern religion". Apparently during this time he learn the power of intuition and that at times it can triumph over the facts or what reason would tell you. It seems that this became a core belief of his and would color his views of what is and isn't possible.
So basically in rejecting western thought processes and harsh rationality he believed he could bend reality to his will. This later comes up when he is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and tries to cure himself with odd diets and fasting.
True at times he would use it as a marketing trick to assert things that he didn't want the public to know about, such as denying that certain products were in development. At other times when using the RDF he indeed did believe such things and often succeeded in accomplishing what others would view as impossible. Such as negotiating record company contracts, getting Gorilla glass for the iPhones in time and forcing product thinness on his engineers.
Actually it was caused by an innocent misunderstanding and translation error.
Bob said "Hey Steve, why don't you go pick up salami for us?"
Steve heard this uncommon local slang for "Go to the store and buy us Salami sandwiches" and misunderstood it to mean "Arrest S.Allami as a terrorist".
It's a completely understandable mistake and shows not that the US government has gone overboard with fears of terrorism, but their love of juicy salami sandwiches. Keep your eye on government employee waistlines.
This chart has already been torn apart on Junk charts. Basically their statistics and reporting are so vague as to make it worthless. But yes, you may be surprised... lies, damn lies and statistics.

Thanks for the tip. Now to hide an nurses program source in a makefile and laugh while everyone is wondering how hello.c is doing all that stuff.
The prank potential of -D is unbounded... not to mention backdoor hiding...
that has been recorded on any tangible medium.
Then digital information is not copyrightable? That looks like a pretty big hole.
Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure they're trying to kill netflix not get them more subscribers.

If racism was about color, then Africa would be united.
And Europe...
And Asia...
And the Middle East...
South America...

It's an issue more people need to be aware of.
In other words a specific song created with PI as a basis would be copyrightable but the idea itself such as "I own all PI music" is not valid.
Sort of like how (software) patents ought to work.
Unless you have celiac disease... then you just... kind of try to avoid thinking what the implications of that are.
Even easier to prove, Genesis 2:4 calls the whole creation process one "day".
