I'm in the same boat [I live in Ottawa, Ontario]. Since the buses on my end aren't used to their max they are not run that often [usually 30 to 45 mins apart].
However, if people did take the bus [e.g. if they were encouraged to financially] then the bus co's could afford to put more buses out.
Sure if you live in the sticks you might want a car but there are many people who live in densely populated cities that still own cars. In places like those it doesn't actually make sense to have a car [imho]
Why can't you fuck-muffins learn how to take a fucking bus.
As a student who takes the bus to college I am wholly fucking pissed off that everyone drives everywhere instead of taking the bus.
If people actually used the buses they wouldn't be so half-assed and actually have good routes.
Reasons for taking busses
1. Better on the environment
2. If you pay for parking its cheaper to bus it
3. If there are more buses less cars then more people can places faster [e.g. divide area of car by amount of people, compare that to area of bus vs. people]
4. I wouldn't have to spend 40 minutes going to and fro when it only takes 10 mins by car.
So I say to all you ass-raping monkey shit eaters who drive in the car pool lane because you have to move your land yacht faster, go fuck yourself!
These filters are not hand made is the problem. Often they are built on keywords. For example, a site on health may be blocked for having the word "penis" in it...
This point has been made before but I feel the need to re-iterate....
The children of today are what are going to lead the world tommorow. Makes sense. They shouldn't be prohibited from seeing all sorts of diverse stuff including the negative.
It's like inbreeding. If you don't have enough diversity you end up getting weird illnesses and the species dies off. Same thing. If we all think the same way and band counter-thoughts we're doomed.
Imagine in the future if the history of slavery becomes too "upsetting" and is band. etc... etc...
That'll teach him that democracy and freedom runs rampant in the good ol' US of A.
What I have to question, do *AA laywers live for bad-press by the nerds of the world? Sure, people are still buying their tripe but the non-nerd part of the world will figure it out eventually. Weird....
Hey no common, flight sims are remarkebly like flying for real. I mean after two hours in Flight Sim'95 I was a pro....:-)
Yes, I am kidding and I have flown a real plane [though, not by myself] before.
And yes, mr. troll who seems to like to reply to all my messages, I am a latent homosexual asshat and I'd like to get your phone number so we can share some "feelings".
The whole reason desktops are so honking huge is because they have these PCI slot thingies you can cram shit in. If you really want to make a small computer do all surface mount stuff and dispense with the user upgradeable slots. I mean the PCI/AGP slots on an ATX mobo take up close to 1/2 of the mobo. If you removed them... voila smaller board and smaller case required.
Aside from the fact nobody makes computers like this [e.g. no third world labour setup to manufacture them yet] why is this such a special thing? I mean we have the technology in this day and age todo it.
Um, I don't think that was the conclusion. They proved that deciding the *best* position and orientation of the tetris pieces is NP-hard [or one of those] which basically means there is no sub-exponentiation method of figuring it out.
They didn't prove that you can't randomly guess correctly, just that you're not likely todo so.
Just because people are dumbing down CS doesn't mean CS isn't a science.
It's as if everyone and their crack whore sister became a neurosurgeon. Would medicine then become a "crafty" house-wise art fancy-pants hobby?
I'd really hate to be treated by a doctor who likes getting "creative" with standard practices for no better reason than "artistic license".
The true nature of CS is more than most colleges teach. Learning some stupid run-of-mill language is all fine and dandy but shouldn't constitute course material.
Real CS subject include math, numerical analysis, data structures, algorithms, etc...
Those are not "artsy-fartsy" subjects when treated properly.
"What? If I send email to someone for the first time and they don't receive and reply within a day I'll probably take my business elsewhere."
Then you're an impatient and have to learn to calm down. Not everyone checks their email 37,000 times a day and maybe you missed the window for the day. Personally I get pissed after 48 hours but at least I give people a few days to reply.
I agree that spam solutions should not deter from legitimate email but there are always downsides. Even Mozilla's awesome filtering algorithms will lead to false positives/negatives once in a while.

1. Up the Mhz without improving the design.
2. Laws of Thermal Dynamics Obeyed.
3. Toasted 900$ processor.
Note the lack of a "..." stage. This is a fairly cut and dry path
1. Use the same fucking joke over and over.
2. ???
3. Jackass!

Am I the only one who sees this as a "whine whine you suck" story?
If the artist would stop making 19 songs that suck and 1 good one, people wouldn't rip the cds.

Whoa whoa, you mean America doesn't rule the world yet? Dubya, send some troops and wrangle up a kangaroo or two.

Oooooh, you funny! Funny long time!
OMG OMG OMG
You so funny, long time!
Who the fuck is bill?
Hahahahaha... I made a funny.
You don't need PCI slots if everything is onboard.
And my iahu.ca site is deprecated. The cool shit is at libtomcrypt.org where I could care less for aesthetics as long as the links work.
Tom
Can't we be friends?
If I had mod points I'd mod you "hella redundant".

Try and optimize the thingy [I presume its code?] for size?
Funny thing that... make things smaller they are easier to send.
Yours crapfully,

Whoa, I have a fan. Cool.
Screenshots of a desktop OS... /. editors must learn some moderation... Not everything is news.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

Yeah whatever script kiddie.

You tell me that optimizing a DCT or AA'ing routine is "fun" you've got issues.
Good software development is much a science if not anything else. That is unless you're still using the bubblesort and straight DCT, etc...
While yes, writing programs to solve problems [including boredom] is fun getting the program to fit in x KB and run in y cycles is not always "fun".
O(n^2) ho!
