Lamo told Manning he could provide protection under both journalist shield laws, and the clergy-lay confidentiality tradition, and instead immediately turned him in to authorities in an act of apparent shameless self-promotion.
What the hell did you expect him to say? "Hey, I'm planning to turn you over to the authorities as soon as you email me that video. And can you please hurry? The Justice Department said they want somebody arrested within 12 hours, and that a bonus is involved." I mean seriously--what the fuck? Regardless of his motives, the private in question allegedly willingly showed classified materials to someone who was not authorized to see them. Period. Do you expect the military to have a "we'll take it on a case by case basis" when it comes to the UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF CLASSIFIED MATERIALS?
Who submitted this article? I'd click "back" to check but I'm too fucking lazy.
You're a typical myopic fuck who thinks only on the small scale. Building a city is not fundamentally altering the environment any more than a a bear taking a shit in the woods.
So what effect would you say the Gulf Oil Spill has had, or will have on the environment and on the Gulf ecosystem? you typical myopic fuck?
Do I even want to know what the background in question looked like? I bet I don't. In fact, here's me explicitly *not* even asking. Whatever it was, I'm glad I missed it.
It was some hot ass chick bent over a bike getting it from the biker. It's a good thing you missed it, it was pretty sinful.
Try thinking for yourself and being less impressed with authority.
Now there's irony. Yat you totally missed the point, which was that most people DO base their opinions on authority/social status, which is exactly why this statement holds so much more weight. Try thinking things through before speaking.
However, his video was seen 1 billion times and multiple thousands of geeks came immediately to his defense
Were they sporting fantasy armor and elaborate fake swords, or did they merely stand defiantly with arms crossed in what was supposed to be perceived as a menacing manner, armed with nothing but a shallow perspective and a narrow sense of humor?
yeah and if you've ever typed on a plastic keyboard, then you too are to blame. how about we quit with the blame game and start looking for solutions. we have no other choice but to use oil, so the question is how do we use it safely? clearly, the status quo is unacceptable.
Well if you have better alternatives, then by all means use them. But for the people bitching because Comcast is their only provider and they get shitty service---upgrade to Business Class. it's not much more expensive and the service is far better.
Do you feel at all guilty about the increased chances of killing someone when you have accident?
there's no such thing
Do you think that we should just do away with speed limits entirely and let everyone drive as fast as they please?
studies have clearly shown that people tend to drive at a speed that is appropriate for the road and conditions. raising the speed limit higher does not result in everybody driving faster, unless the speed limit was too low to begin with.
Surely speed limits are there to keep as all safer.
they're not. maybe that was the original intention, but today many speed limits are designed primarily for revenue generation.
weird, my comcast business package is 6/1 for $59.95 a month and does not include static ips, but its only like $10-$15 extra a month to get a number of them (like 10 or so I think, dont really remember as i have no need for it)
try Business Class. it's a totally different experience. the one time i had a problem, i called the account manager on his cell phone, let him know what was up, and within 5 minutes a real technician (with a clue) called ME to figure it out. turns out my linksys router gets flaky after transferring X amount of data and starts dropping more and more packets. so it wasnt their problem but everybody involved acted like they were more than happy to help.
Applying that to humans, in a small company altruism ensures the company's growth and everyone's paycheck (theoretically) increases. In a large company there are far too many selfish individuals for an altruist to really get ahead. OTOH, humans are skilled at detecting and excluding selfish individuals, and the selfish individuals are skilled at evading detection.
Uh bro...have you even BEEN to America? No, living your entire life in the Bay Area or Chicago doesn't count. Try driving out into the rural parts of your state some time, or if it's one of those pissant small northeastern states, try driving through Tennessee some time and tell me it would be feasible to "build sidewalks everywhere." Try driving through Arizona, with hundreds of miles of just nothing, and tell me it would be feasible or even desirable to "build sidewalks everywhere." In short, GET A CLUE.
And on the bright side, at least we've learned that we know nothing about how to stop deep sea gushers. Hopefully this will lead to the develop of the necessary technology to do so.
This is not as simple as you make it seem; many scientific results have subtle but important facets that require highly specific language (i.e. jargon) to properly clarify.
Granted, but as a wise man once said: "If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
A lot of people aren't ready or willing to tear their own religious lives down in the hopes that rebuilding their lives with "science" will be better.
They don't need to, because their kids will do it for them. Kids growing up now are abandoning religion in droves. At least that's the way it is here in more urban Bible Belt areas. Out in the country, not so much, but that's just because new culture and ideas take longer to spread to rural areas.

You dont have to know how a gun works in order to be killed by one.
And if that isnt yet a quote by some smart person, then I claim it.

get Comcast Business service. then you get somebody's cell phone number to call if there is a problem.
Except that the threshold is arbitrary bullshit, and how do you measure that anyways? I'd say his arbitrary bullshit is just as good as the next.

Utter horseshit, completely uninformed nonsense.
And if you show empathy at school you are considered weak and will be a bully victim.

"criminal stupidity" perhaps?
We can only pray that Final Destination is actually what happens when someone like this cheats death.
What gives you that idea?
