This is the most disgusting comment on this story I've read yet. And that's saying something. Individuals drag themselves out of the mud and ooze to better themselves. To have leisure time to investigate, create, and seek the meaning of their existence. Do you think it is coincidence that "old rich white men" are responsible for the United States of America? Societies should be formed around the idea of enabling extraordinary individuals to do extraordinary things. Not feeding the status quo. A properly built society will benefit from the individuals achievement. You think this is possible when 1/2 of your population lives in a fucking rice paddy?
With appropriate and judicious distribution of resources, with effective management, with proper education, I dare-say that people will live longer and more happily in such a nation.
Ahh. The agitprop is now in full swing. Careful your slip is showing. You somehow think your country of shiny, happy, brainwashed, socially illiterate shit-farmers are superior to the yuppie you deride? Why are most Chinese politically disinterested? Why is China ruled by corrupt tyrants? Could it be that sustenance living is not the motivator which gets people thinking about the philosophical underpinnings of their society and its rulers?
So what if 50% of the nation plows with oxen and washes clothes by hand? With appropriate and judicious distribution of resources, with effective management, with proper education, I daresay that people will live longer and more happily in such a nation.
And I suppose you are willing to sacrifice the wonderful life of driving an Ox around until your hands bleed to be a "Central Planner." How noble. The inner party and the people are truly in your debt.
Use getcwd(). Functions which do not require/allow the user to specify buffer size are being depricated. Your use of getwd()
would probably not cause problems except from the man page:
The getwd() function does not do sufficient error checking and is not
able to return very long, but valid, paths. It is provided for compatibility.
Best practice dictates using getcwd, however, if you are just messing with old software it probably won't be a problem.
Also, does this mean that IE will no longer be available on a Macintosh platform? Seems to me that Apple would put some legal pressure on M$ if that were to happen.
Remember Apple has Safari now which replaced IE for me since it came out. It works almost flawlessly and has quite a few
features IE does not.
It's possible that Apple knew this move was coming down the pike.
Interesting. What would happen if say a car salesmen sold a customer a car for 1/2 price while the office manager is on vacation. The customer assumes the sale is legitimate, the sale is finalized and the customer drives home. When the office manager returns would he have recourse against the customer, as well as, the employee?
Or to use your example if the thief exchanges the stolen money for goods and services must the second innocent party incur the damages and repay the original injured party? Or is the thief solely responsible for remuneration?
No it can't be inferred safely or otherwise. First you are grouping asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis in the same group as if they are the same thing. They are not. Are high blood preasure, sickle cell, and leukemia all the same since they all involve blood?
The exact cause of asthma is unknown, but, there is a relationship with alergies. Often though an asthmatic may not be alergic to anything at all. For some it's stress. For others food allergies may be the cause. For many asthmatics there is little to no warning of an approaching attack. Additionally the common treatment for asthma is steroids which work to weaken ones immune system which is causing the imflamation in the air passages.
In fact some "studies" indicate that the sterile environments provided for children by over-anxious yuppy parents prevent proper development of the immune system. A link has also been shown between asthmatics and premature births. But to pretend that a link to arbitary pollution can be made is dishonest at best, and a disservice to those with the disease at worst.
Just be sure to watch it as the entertainment that it is, as opposed to
an actual documentary. Moore, as his unkempt appearance suggests, is a sloppy and lazy thinker. He uses very little
fact in his opion pieces.
Even the bloodiest of liberals such as Roger Ebert realize this. There are many Moore links to be found showing the intelectual dishonesty rampant in MM's ravings, but, I'm not going to do your homework for you.
I don't know I think the options you removed are probably the most likely candidates. 2001 would definately not fall into this catagory, it is too contemplative. Maybe something like Species. Personally I found that a little boring though.
No. I liked the show very much. However, the captain was not much of a renegade tough guy and I wanted him to be. It was
merely a critique. The examples you gave above were easy kills so to speak. Not too difficult killing a someone who is clearly bad or threatening. I have trouble citing specific examples not having seen the show for months. The best example is when Jayne betrayed the crew he should have been killed. Now I liked that charactor, but, I wanted to feel actual suspense in the show in contrast to Star Trek where everybody is always alright no matter what happens.
I bring this up only because it was my main criticism with the show as a whole. I was very disappointed that Fox didn't give it a chance.
Now this truly was a great show. Right up until they killed off the wife and he
went back to the FBI. What, did the show fire all of the writers and replace them with
hacks or what. This is one I would definatley pick up on DVD as reruns are never shown
unlike the X-Files.
I blame Fox for this completely. Does anyone remember Space Above and Beyond?
Personally I never paid it much heed until it was on Sci-Fi. That was a great freakin' show.
Knowing Fox killed that one, Firefly never really had a chance.
The main problems I found with Firefly were based on the Captain being "too good". They tried
to paint him as a renegade tough guy, but, then would not allow him to follow through in action. I think
letting the show and characters develop for a season would have helped tremendously. Plus showing the
episodes out of order meant that the audience was deprived of necessary backstory on more than one ocassion.
Screw Fox I say. There is very little left to watch on TV.
You're kidding right? Both North Coast and
Sierra Nevada make beers which blow away most anything imported.
North Coast makes their Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout which makes me laugh and chuckle at the thought of ever drinking Guiness again unless I had to. Don't even get me started about the Old Stock Ale which is devine. Every day beers like Red Seal and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale are also usually in the fridge.
No, I'm afraid imports just can't cut it. So until I take a trip to Europe to see what they have for themselves I am sticking with good ole American beer.
Another MST3K favorite is Manos . This movie is supremely bad.
I think the guy that made it eventually killed himself as well. That's what I heard anyway.
They're paranoid (rightly so, being a large banking interest) and they won't run ANYTHING that their code monkeys haven't scanned every line of code or they haven't written themselves. They've got OpenBSD and Linux on servers, another handrolled Linux on the desktops.
Wait a minute. Are you saying that your organization has done a complete White Box audit of most Linux packages (including the kernel and all modules) and OpenBSD? Was this a top down analysis? This is a *huge* undertaking. Did
you guys get any good white papers out of this work? How long does it take to do this? Did you guys baseline a particular
revision and just go over every patch after that, or do you do re-audits on each major release? Very interesting.
Really? What a shame. I was just going to ask if anybody had tried to put Linux on one of these things. Here is a link
for anyone unsure of what this is Sony U3
So, how much effort did you put into getting Linux to run? Do you think it would ultimately be possible? Otherwise what
do you think of this thing. Is it worth the money?
That seems reasonable. The readers would have to be ubiquitous though in order to truly work. If I don't have confidence that every merchent accepts this card then I still have to carry cash.
It seems that without.gov mandate it will be hard to get such a system off the ground. And you can be sure that the government will on some level have surveillance built in.
As someone mentions above the problem here is that it still does not replace the certainty of cash.
Cash alleviates the anxiety that goes along with not knowing how much money is left on card X, or whether the magnetic stripe on card X will work, or will this restaurant take this type of card? I suspect many would still want to carry "backup" cash anyway defeating the purpose.
As stated in the article business persons may not want to pay the percentage necessary to have one of these machines. I really don't see how this is advantagous to the consumer or to the business person.
Looks to be a smartcard, so I assume someone would have to phsically destroy the card. The same as taking a wad of cash and throwing it in the fireplace.
This is of course patently untrue. California is in this position due to mismanagement. Gray Davis is a moron. California wanted to purposefully make deregulation look like a failure so they passed laws doomed to fail. Combined with the inability of utilities to build power plants due to the Green i.e. Communist (all environmentalists hate private property rights but this is another topic) policies in place.
So the people of California got a wonderful lesson in supply and demand. Unfortunately instead of learning their lesson they whine and cry like the children they are.
There's a saying among chess grandmasters--"Draw with black, win with white."
Would someone please elaborate on this? I have seen this in other comments and do not understand the reasoning.
