He cited the Bible in a court decision which declared gay couples "presumptively unfit to have custody of minor children", and referred to gay sex as an "inherent evil and an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to describe it". That smacks of bigotry to me, but perhaps you have another interpretation.
To me, this smacks of a gay man who wishes he were straight and hopes nobody finds out about what he does in airport restrooms.
Big ones... With very low energy requirements in terms of escape velocity, that, should they be boosted into moon orbit and nudged ever so slightly in the direction of Earth, would come down very very very fast with absolutely no way to stop them... Yes, this sounds like something we want China to be in charge of.
"It won a decision last year before the Copyright Office saying that ringtones weren't derivative works."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! No, your honor, those 38 terabytes of music that the RIAA caught me hosting on that p2p network are ringtines, in mp3 format, and created by me, and thus I own the copyright... They are, in fact, not derivative works of any kind, and the fact that the RIAA had them at all means they have been infringing on my copyright. Furthermore, I'd like to announce the opening of awesomeringtones.com.
Do you get a paycheck? Do you "max it out" every month and take home exactly the pay you agreed to when you started the job? Man, what a abuse of the salary system, I mean, come on, save some of those bucks for your fellow co-workers. Do you have a car? Did you "max it out" by getting all four tires on it when you bought it? ALL FOUR of them? What an abuse, seriously. Just 'cause you paid for it doesn't mean it's RIGHT for you to use it, it's totally unfair.
Are you an idiot? Why SHOULDN'T they max it out every month? If they paid for X they should GET X, that how the system is supposed to work.
License! Include with your video clip an "enhanced" Creative Commons GPL style license. Have it say, simply, any media company can use my work to create derivative works or crappy clip shows on the sole condition that they release all of their current and future content for the next 4,000 years to the public domain as soon as it is created. THEN sue them for breaking the license agreement and have the courts force them to release everything they own.

"We cannot educate theater managers to be judges and juries in what is acceptable," he said. "Theater managers cannot distinguish between good and bad stealing."
INDEED! Finally, someone is making sense here. I mean a theater manager will NEVER be given a jury summons in his or her life, the statistical likelihood that is basically nil, right. That's a given, right? So, prosecute blindly, using no judgment of any kind. And, by that token, every 15 year old girl taking nude pictures of herself SHOULD at least be TRIED for child pornography. I mean, isn't that *really* what a judge and jury is for? To make sure we never forced, as a culture and a as society, to acquire the slightest shred of a collective level of common sense?
I have known QUITE A FEW CEOs who do this kind of thing... And usually they do it in amazingly transparent and retardrd ways... Oh, your name is Micheal Downer? I wonder if those brand new user accounts, the ones that are all parrorting each other in style and content, oddly enough saying EXACTLY what YOU would say, given the chance, you know "md0503", "MrMichDo", "M_D_HOT_NESS_4", and "MsMichelleDonning" who all post at the same time of day from the same IP address, one after another, are in any way related to you? Naw, just a coincidence. Idiot.
WHICH holocaust, though? I do, in fact, feel that the aloe vera holocaust, the one where we killed al the aloe very plants, never happened. Screw you evil aloe vera apologists!
The problem, of course, is that there are a lot of vulnerable places. Schools, shopping malls, stadia, airplanes, hospitals, large buildings, bridges, factories, food processing plants, ports, power plants, electrical grid, network control centers... and the list goes on.
And NONE of these have been attacked in the *slightest* way, even in the face of MULTIPLE national disaster emergencies in the last five to sevent years that could have been the OPPORTUNE time to make even a *token* effort (look at the scare the Comedy Central guys caused with something that looks NOTHING like a bomb... Imagine if you had a fake bomb that DOES look like one) yet cause a tremendous panic... But nothing. Hmmm, how odd.
"Terrorists" are either the *stupidest* motherfuckers on the planet, or else... what? Why are they being so lax?
One of the problems with Postgresql versus MySQL is that it is typically much, much slower and less capable. THis should address those problems.
Yes yes, this is true, PostgreSQL *IS* so much faster than MySQL, that's well understood... But that's just a small drop in the ocean compared to the much LARGER problem about comparing the two which is that PostgreSQL is a relational database while MySQL is a fancy way to access flat files.
Why will cats in particular, highly independent creatures who are extremely good at providing for themselves, go into a burning building to attempt to wake and save their owners, sometimes at the cost of their own lives? I understand the argument for saving one's kittens is that of propagating the gene (though cats could always make more kittens, and that is certainly a more effective strategy both at the personal and genetic levels) but why save some human?
A saved human is more likely to keep said cat and care for it's kittens, perhaps for many generations to come, no?
The first person to mention Chernobyl as an example as to how dangerous nuclear power can be is the loser. The reason? That person just admitted that they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about and are unfit to contribute anything to a nuclear debate.
No, they have NOTHING to contribute... The Reason? Because incompetence, shoddy, inadequate equipment and good old fashioned dumb-ass bravado are things of the past. Such things can never again happen in the future. Never.

One would have thought that to drop something 150km one would need a 150km rope?
You don't know anything about space, clearly, so just shut up. Leave this stuff to us experts.
(aside: Hey Bob, I have an idea why our space tether idea didn't work our right, get this: what if we used MORE than 30km of...)
we already know what is there: Rocks.

You buy water and electricity too. They're all finite resources tied to community sources, overuse of which places strain on other users.
That's true, and neither the water nor the power company publish what limit these "overuse" fees kick in either! Oh, wait...

Oracle might cost a lot, but if they can come through with your data they might just be worth it.
This is ironic... because:
Oracle
BEGIN;
DROP TABLE super_important_data;
ROLLBACK;
-- WTF, still lost all my data!?
Postgres:
BEGIN;
DROP TABLE super_important_data;
ROLLBACK;
Hey it rolled back the DROP TABLE, as common sense would dictate, SWEET!
six-foot-tall exoskeletal insects are not feasible, simply because exoskeletal structures can't support the weight of a creature six feet tall.
You have never heard of the Carboniferous period. Meter long bugs were the order of the day.
Definitely "unexpected" since sidewinder's had not been invented.
And ironically so, since that stolen alien technology is a core piece of the sidewinder.
WHICH holocaust, though? I do, in fact, feel that the aloe vera holocaust, the one where we killed al the aloe very plants, never happened. Screw you evil aloe vera apologists!
Not to me, who WON'T be dead, because I didn't really like you anyway.
No. He meant metric and Quailgulon. In this case.

Oops... forgot to change the comment didn't ya? A TEST would have made a better comment. A test that would FAIL when it's no longer TRUE.
Unrealized income is almost the same and having income stolen
So... You've just STOLEN a hundred million dollars from me, because that's how much you COULD have paid me to respond.
No matter its size, when correctly used, a HD can have only 3 states: still in the box, almost full and dead.
Hey, "almost full" and "dead" are NOT mutually exclusive!
