I think he implied there are varying degrees of bad. Besides, it's perfectly possible there's a photo of her wrapped head to toe in a tapestry. That might be a good photo, if it's a nice tapestry.
I really don't care about what's "expected" in this situation, and I don't care whether he was naive in his approach or not. What I care about is that if a company retaliates against someone for pointing out unethical behavior, files fradulent charges, and drags him through legal and financial hell, that they get their ass nailed to the wall.
(This is based entirely on conjecture. None of us really know what went down for sure.)
IANAL, and I know this varies by state, but this kind of retribution and harassment for filing a complaint may be very illegal, and the company may have opened themselves up to liability for it. I know reporters of sexual harassment or discrimination are protected from retribution, and it would be interesting to know what protection a whistleblower for unethical behavior has under state and federal laws.
Regardless, no one deserves this treatment for stating their beliefs the company is doing something wrong.
There's a big difference between knowing something is hypothetically possible and believing it to be fact or "feeling it in your heart," and rejecting all physical evidence to the contrary. It's also perfectly possible an almighty being could be tricking me into believing the chair I'm sitting on doesn't exist, but I think my belief in its existence is a little more rational.
Having recently gotten a first life, I must say it's not as exciting as people made it out to be. For example, there are no flying cars, and no quicksave feature. I really tried to like it, but until it gets some more features, I'll have to stick to Civilization III.
A) An actual, thought out plan.
B) Financial commitment.
Otherwise, it doesn't matter who said it. It could be George Washington or George Bush, without those two things, it just sounds like pandering. I'm equally cynical about all politicians.
Since the goal for the BSA is to have their statistics used in policy-making decisions, I would submit to you that it's better not to have any measurement, than to have such an inaccurate (and manipulative) measurement.
Re: the energy efficiency of the system: If I'm using the freezer to keep my chicken and ice cream cold anyway, I would imagine putting bottles of room temperature liquids into the freezer increases its overall temperature and makes it run more, but is it more than the energy required to run AC for 3 hours?
A good point. I think a lot of discussion has focused on hardware keyloggers that sit between the keyboard and computer, and are the logical choice for bad guys that don't work for the company/library/whatever. You do also have to consider the software some disgruntled or mischevious cashier might put on the computer, which is probably harder to protect against.
I know quite a few science-minded individuals who have an extensive religious background (often as children) whose preference for science over religion approaches zealotry. That certainly may be due to negative experiences not generalizable to religion as a whole or as a concept, but don't assume what experiences someone does or does not have based on their current beliefs.
I thought your site was cool, but then I saw Vanilla Ice (here). Dude, weak. You went from "cool site" to "making god kill kittens and baby jesus cry." I haven't felt this dirty since The Crying Game.
Politcal ideology is all fine and dandy, but in real world situations almost all people I know have trouble blaming themselves for their problems, right wingers or left-it doesn't seem to matter.
How many supposedly conversative figures blaming (left wing) media witch hunts and conspiracies for their own ethical failures do we need to see to realize they act just like the lefties when they get caught? How many people blame portrayals of sex and violence, satanic influences, and/or lack of prayer in school for every instance of childhood violence? Are they all left wingers? I think not.
To constrast, the people I know who do take responsibility for their actions haven't been correlated with one political ideology either.
This is either a misprint or misunderstanding, or a one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a company do. FFS, I built an athlon 1800+ two or three YEARS ago. Does anyone still have K6II's?
Don't forget THE SHOE. You will bow before the awesome power of THE SHOE. THE SHOE is unstoppable, THE SHOE is untoppable, THE SHOE makes you irresistible to FAT PEOPLE. Okay, okay, that last thing could certainly be better, but THE SHOE excels in all other areas.
Man, no government would overstep its bounds if we all had THE SHOE. We'd stomp em good.

Yeast is itchy. I see no mention of itchiness in the article; therefore these organisms are far superior than their itchy counterparts.
On that note, why isn't Save Toby on the list?

Good cheese comes from happy cows, and happy cows come from California. You like cheese, right? Plus, we make a lot of porn.

...and it didn't before, because one of those features was soft-body animation, but now it does? Was that your point?

They can't retroactively change the license you're using the software under.
If you had a little imagination yourself, you probably would have realized the sig was ironic, and therefore probably not meant to be derogatory.
Somebody set up us the false positive?
It's less about driving down the price of gas, and more about controlling who gets the profits from selling it.
