Thanks - i struggle with my English, so i (as most non-native speakers i think) appreciate grammar NaZi's!
Second, your old-fashioned line reminds me of a great poster.
Tradition: just because we've always done it this way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.
We're moving forward whether you like it or not.
I liked the poster's message - BUT:
a) what does that mean for "super-heroines"? You think people like me (even the next generation of awful people like me) will stop masturbate with them just because some SJW will get angry?
b) who is "WE" (i.e, "YOU") "moving forward"? I had a great reply from an anonymous commenter here
You're not an awful person for doing it but you're clearly of an adolescent mindset for posting about it. It's 'TMI' in this forum, you want to share that with you're 'like minded buddies' in private or if you're a comedian & use it as a joke then knock yourself out...but seriously what good could come from telling the world.
Thanks for not judging me - but :
a) i am too old to masterbate realy (if there is such a thing as "too old to masterbate" anyway...)
b) there is no such thing as "super-heroines" (my point actually)
As an old fashioned guy i can't believe that there is a place for "super-heroines", since i think that these things are for guys (i don't remember any girl reading such things when i was a boy... looong ago, when i was mastebating enough!). And to be honest, i am not a comedian: i am an old fashioned guy that used to masterbate with such kind of material, long before our current SJW made it TMI for this forum - so, don't take it as a (bad) joke, take it seriously.
I am an old fashioned guy and my only reason to read something like that would be to masterbate with those female "super-heroine" - sorry, i am an awful person, i know, but...
You surely know about coffee in Colombia (never been there but friend have, plus i can guess...) - but here in Greece we had "Starbucks like" cafeterias long before Starbucks come to Greece that can actually make drinkable coffee! Plus... in Starbucks smoking is not allowed - and in Greece this is not a feature but a fucking critical bug!
I don't want to use an American brand for example because i am from Europe, so, since you mentioned cars, i will give some other example from the car industry: Porsche has a car that is actually a VW (Porsche belongs to VW, but this car is marketed as either Porsche or VW - it is not just a "shared platform", but the same car, build in the same factory... NOTHING different, except for the brand!)
Starbucks uses the same feature. A big reason for drinking Starbucks is to show other people that you can afford it.
Here in Greece (like in Italy, France, or -while i don't like to admit that-, at a lesser degree -but still...- even... Turkey!) we know about coffee - since i don't want to make my poor/. karma suffer even more..., let me put it this way: if you are from USA and visit any Starbucks in Greece you will feel like home... but if you want to meet Greeks you must go to any of the other cafeterias existing in almost each building block. Thankfully for Starbucks, in Greece we have many tourists (2.5 times our population).
can you help me find the right word (not phrase) for a person who uses the product of someone else's work without the producer's permission?
i have no need to define such a person because i see nothing special or particularly defining in that act, so please suit yourself. my point, however, is that equating this with 'theft' or 'piracy' can't possibly be attributed to lack of knowledge of the language, but very much with deliberate misrepresentation and intoxication. not saying you are the source, though, it's very widespread bullshit and my impression is that you just swallowed it without critical thinking. i hereby just invite you to deeper reflection. how would YOU call such a person?
If your question ("how would YOU call such a person?") is about the "person who uses the product of someone else's work without the producer's permission" then my answer is: THIEF!
If your question is about "a person who just call YOU a THIEF" then my answer is to clarify you question (i honestly don't understand - i try to answer all questions).
They could have added $1000 to the price. That's always a popular Apple feature.
You have been modded as "Troll"; but "making it more expensive" is a usual "(marketing) feature" for some brands (i don't dare to mention Apple because... my "/." karma is suffering righ now!).
Since you specifically describe the children and mention that it is a "summer brief tech enrichment program", do not forget to do what the military does: teach them how to wipe their asses...
Seriously, while (almost all) children already know the basics of how to use tech, repeating basics never hurt anyone: some kids may learn things they never know, and for those that already know them... repetition is the mother of knowledge. So, always start from the basics ("how to wipe their asses"), and only then move to what ever you may choose to teach - actually, depending on time/level, you may end up teaching them just the basics, but this is not bad. Remember their needs, not your vision (note: i may underestimate the level of students you describe - but in any case: start from the basics)
Line 1 from The Fine Article linked in summary: "Yubikey Neo is a $50 authentication token (with bells and whistles) from Yubico."
And the whole Slashdot summary:"An anonymous reader writes: Folks at HexView (disclaimer: I contract for the company) took apart Yubikey Neo and found out that, while the key uses solid hardware to ensure secure identity management, its physical anti-tamper measures and durability could be improved. The tear-down analysis is short, but to the point, and offers some very nice close-ups of the internals. One example of the design shortcomings they've identified: Contrary to Yubico's claims, Yubikey appears to be quite destructable. Do not push on it when you touch the sensor while the key is plugged in to a USB port. The point where it bends the most happens to be the point where USB vias are located and through which NFC antenna loop goes. To make things worse, the injection molding hole right next to the connector makes this area even more susceptible to bending."
Now imagine the Slashdot summary with something like the "Line 1 from The Fine Article linked in summary" that explains what the linked article is about...
Not any more... i see now that i have been modded a "Troll"- we are in Slashdot, the/. summary can state that Republicans are becoming whiter (thus incude racial factors), but people can not discuss "THE DEMOGRAPHIC FUTURE OF AMERICA'S POLITICAL PARTIES" using facts (numbers), or words/phrases used by Democrats themselves (e.g., President Lyndon Johnson) for effecting the "THE DEMOGRAPHIC FUTURE OF AMERICA'S POLITICAL PARTIES".
As for the "Eugenics movement": it is a Greek word that means "Good Genes [Eu-genics]", so i understand that since killing unborn babies is allowed... it is alive (and since you mentioned Hitler -why?-: i guess he must be o.k with this...)
NO, "it is NOT on the main download page" (Mod me "Score:5, Informative"!), and, since "it is NOT on the main download page"... you should ask directly the submitter "why should you care" (Mod parent "Score:5, Insightful"...).
Another assumption it makes is that both parties are frozen in time.
Some aspects can or are "frozen in time"...
The question: "how to have those Blacks voting Republican for the next 200 years"? The answer: by becoming "Democratic" and make them "NIGGERS"!
From 1964 (or even earlier), and for every election after that, about 9/10ths of Blacks (who in total are about 13% of USA's population) vote Democratic - so, for the last half of our century the Democrats made more than 10% of USA's population their "bitches". "But how" you may ask? I already answered: they made them "NIGGERS"... by making them their "bitches"! I am just a Greek, i don't care much about your Yankee's "sensitivities", but i care about USA (AND Blacks), and things are really bad when people can't call a "NIGGER"... NIGGER! That way they can not say to a fucking NIGGER "hey you, fucking NIGGER, stop being such a fucking BITCH...".
Of course Republicans are not as evil as Democrats are, so they can not hurt Blacks by doing what Democrats do - so, some other idea for them: have those ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INVADERS voting Republican for the next 200 years! What? "Republics are patriots, they can not fuck USA by making them citizens"? Well, then better start using language for what has being designed: CALLING THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.
P.S. when you want to discuss "THE DEMOGRAPHIC FUTURE OF AMERICA'S POLITICAL PARTIES" you should expect some people will use words/phrases like "NIGGER", "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INVADERS", "... fucking LIBTARDS (!)", e.t.c., because:
a) it is about "THE DEMOGRAPHIC FUTURE OF AMERICA'S POLITICAL PARTIES"!!!
b) it saves people a lot of time (e.g., i understand what a "redneck" is, try to understand what my terms mean)
Yes, "chalkboards/whiteboards/etc are entirely reasonable in schools/businesses/etc", but they can be non-electronic (just fine - simple and cheap, i used them as child in school, still use them in business) or electronic (even better - used as the non-electronic, plus can display interactive multimedia and/or typed input) - i don't believe that "you have to use technology for everything" but IF you can use something better... why not?
De Cicco Remu, as "director of Partners in Learning at Microsoft Canada" sells stuff, but since she was a former teacher she must be respected more than just a sales person (who must be respected also - technology needs its marketing also)
Your data is a form of payment and you submit to authorizing facebook to use it when you sign up. Why shouldn't Europeans abide by the contract they willfully sign? Facebook is not a public utility, you are not forced to consume it.
Yes, what you write is correct, BUT:
Facebook's tracking of users who do not own a Facebook account [...] the company tracks users who are logged-out from Facebook through the social plug-ins ("Like" and "Share" buttons), tracks opted-out Facebook users with a cookie for advertising purposes, tracks users who are not Facebook users but who have visited Facebook's pages, and so on.
I don't own (never did) a Facebook account, but (and this is a fact) Facebook knows my name (with my foto connected to my name), people i know, other social/political/etc info about me.
While it seems like the federal government is out of line taking the right to govern away from the states, in reality it is the states that are taking away the right to govern from local governments that ACTUALLY WANT municipal broadband.
Ensuring that municipalities maintain their rights to roll out local broadband isn't a perversion of states rights, its preventing states rights from perverting local rights.
Trying to follow your logic, i end up where you started: federal government [is out of line] taking the right to govern away from the states - i don't know the constitution of USA, but i think that (usually) a federation has less power over its states than a state has on its municipalities.
That's correct. However, one of the two main problems in Greece is that folks there don't pay their taxes. That and corruption. Both the Troika and Syriza are in agreement on that.
That is correct (i do not need to rephrase my statement in capital letters because it was about our loan from foreigners, i.e., our external debt - we always paid our debts). Our "bad habits" are not paying our taxes, and a special kind of corruption: the "grey" economy - for example, that's why this "25% unemployement rate" you may read is not real.
In order for Greeks to buy Firefox TVs, or any other foreign made products, they will need hard Euros. The Greek government will probably have to resort to paying government salaries and pensions in "Scrips": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
Folks won't be able to a Firefox TV with Scrip . . . unless they pay a whole lot of them. So . . . all I can wish you is good luck!
This is debatable because (and thanks to our previous right-wing goverment), currently (even with our new -3 months old- left-wing goverment), we have a surplus: that means that, as long as we keep our surplus or some thoughts about returning in our national currency do not become reality (they have some good points, but i still don't agree), we don't need to leave the Eurozone. This "(I Owe You) Scripts" thing was just one more of the left- wing goverment's ideas that was not really serious, but just a way to avoid admiting to the people (especiallly those working in the public sector) that what they promised (ending the austerity) is not going to happen - in the next few days/weeks i expect/hope reality will force them out of power... 4 months is already too much time for those people to run Greece!
You were probably cut off for not paying your bills.
I get the joke (me Greek, not paying bills*) but this geo-blocking effects the whole of Europe (even E.U. -COMMON *MARKET*- members, as Greece is also) - i don't blame so much the content providers because the different copyright laws make the situation problematic for them, i just mentioned it since for many Europeans (not just Greeks, but even -in a better financiall state- Northern-Europeans) this is something that bothers them.
* by the way, Greece is a poor *state* with rich *citizens* (i.e., it's our state's finances that are -*was* actually, since now we have surplus- in trouble), plus: WE PAY OUR BILLS - the financial aid we now receive is added to our debt, and it is used to pay our loans... this "cycle" is done because we don't want to declare bankruptcy. I am not defending our bad ways of running our state's budget, and i don't blame the banks or our European partners, i just inform you about the situation that is a little different from what most may think.
I don't understand why you have been down-modded, but:

Constantine didn't fully convert until he was on his deathbed, he mostly did it for political reasons.
