He's an old guy wanting to be left alone, DEA bugs him about some stuff, he more or less tells them to "sod off." Some prissy official gets his panties in a twist, and has a personal grudge against the guy.
Isn't marijuana a Schedule 1 drug according to the Feds? Which would essentially ban it? But states can then override it (see California), correct? I'm not very conversant with drug laws since I don't deal with any besides what my doc prescribes me (somehow I don't think my blood pressure medicine is going to be a problem).
Also, unless I misread, he sells to camping outfitters, not to random people off the street. Do they want him to keep track of all the customers that buy his product from REI or Wal-Mart?
This just sounds like a grumpy guy who has no use for the government, and he pissed off someone in the DEA. Now they are getting their payback.
I would have to disagree with this. You have your content, but now you need to distribute it. Your model can be old-style physical book publishing, electronic distribution, or just post it up on a website for free. With electronic you can then have DRM or no DRM. So while content is part of the model, it is not the entire model since you have to take into consideration things like the distribution channel(s) that I pointed out above. And don't forget marketing.
I have seen this happen to my alma mater, Penn State recently. I'm fairly sure that almost everyone has heard of the sick fuck Sandusky and what he did to the kids. Within 1 day the public, and more seriously the press, were calling for heads to roll. Which they did a few days later. After 2 weeks all kinds of other information is coming out about the police, the DA, the governor, etc. But these new stories are not pushed because they don't have a big name attached to them. So it's not really that convoluted- throw everything you have at anyone involved and get your ratings/page views. After that, it doesn't really matter what happens because the mop-up of a scandal/disaster is never as fun as the initial surge of rage/concern. If you asked a random person what they know about the Duke lacrosse scandal, what do you think the ratio of "they raped a girl" to "they were innocent" would be?
Sorry about that, I'm still trying to comprehend how badly my school fucked up.
TFA said that there are two lists, one in English and one in Urdu. The article only links to the English list, so the Urdu list may include those words you mentioned.
Better not. How many words would 'ass*' take out? The list is so badly constructed that they would take out half the words in the dictionary, since you know they would somehow manage to use regex incorrectly.
The missed a lot of easy ones, like 'azz,' but got 'cumm.' It's a really weird list if you scan through it. 80% is stuff you would expect, but the other 20% is either stupid, 'idiot', or puzzling, 'cumbubble.' Seriously, cumbubble? I never even heard of that 'word' before, but it must be so prevalent that it needs 2 versions on the list ('cum bubble')?! Not to mention 4(!) versions of 'Dixie Dyke.'
I seriously want to know how this list was generated, and who did the generating. It's the Venn intersection of "Makes Sense (sex slang)," "Normal Words (common usage)," and "Baffling (Dahmer, mother love bone)."
While most of it is stuff you would expect, but here are some really dumb ones (deeper, idiot, drunk, deposit) and some funny ones (Dahmer(?), mother love bone(?!))
Can you imagine if you tried this- I have to go *deposit* more money to make the *hole* *deeper* in the back yard that the *drunk* *idiot* messed up.
I see where the phrases "back door" & "banging" can have a sexual connotation, but there are also a few other ways to use them, too. I must be too old to understand the controversy behind "cocky" and "cocktail."
I'm also confused by TFA's explanation of how Pakistan has a free speech clause in it's constitution but somehow this is "not unrestricted?" I can understand China trying to stamp out political speech, but Pakistan looks like it's on a morality crusade that makes the extreme Bible-bangers in the US look tame. I do admit I have slim knowledge about Pakistan.
(I really have to figure out a way to use "mother love bone" in a proper conversation with someone.)
I agree, what a horseshit idea. "Here is a USB stick with some free software! Merry fucking Christmas!" OK, I guess you have some tech friends and/or family. It's still a bullshit idea. I can only imagine when my family unwraps their presents and they all got USB sticks. Why not just give them all pretzels? Ever fucking think of what they might want besides your non-thinking present? I'm a freaking nerd and if someone gave my a USB stick (with or without free software), I'd be pissed; anyone that uses one already has 2-5 of them.
Drawing a card with crayons has more personalization than this.
What's your idea for a birthday present, tickets to E3?
Don't know about you, but every ear infection I've had (many, eventually causing a burst eardrum) was nicely cleared up by antibiotics. (No, I didn't sue)
"And, no. I don't know why they don't get fired for telling such a poor lie." What's your data set size? What is their budget? If you have 5 pentabytes of data needed to be backed up, and their hardware budget is $4.50 (four fitty, I say!), then that is not a lie. I'm going to assume that your data size is reasonable and that they do have an adequate budget. (Just say so next time)

Just be happy that they didn't put a monkey in charge. Skynet + Planet of the Apes = Planet of the Robot Apes. BoboChimpNet?

Fine, you win. I (with my 3 degrees, oops) will leave you alone now.

Ever see the movie "Pooty Tang?"
He uses those words in his newest song.

I find your misspellings to be highly inflammatory and vastly funny!

I did read that. And it is still stupid, you arrogant ass.

But I am fairly certain that they forgot to carry a 1 somewhere.

Probably have to be an NFL fan to get it.
Troll? Guy asks for a solution, I give one. Not a very good one, but one none the less.
It's all good! :)
Wow, a pay porn site. I would have never, ever ever found porn if you hadn't shown me the way! Oh thank you, Great Leader!

Oh shush, everyone knows that the Cloud will cure all that ails you! Storage, backup, canker sores? The CLOUD!
To be fair, he wasn't doing the backups. Or is he supposed to take over the IT section while he is at it?
