My orders came through. My squadron ships out
tomorrow, we're bombing the storage depots at
Daiquiri at 18:00 hours. We're coming in from the
North, below their radar.
Elaine : When will you be back?
Striker : I can't tell you that. It's classified.
Wrong. Just because somebody does not know how to build their own computer does not mean they deserve to be bombarded by advertisemets and annoying popups. Just as someone who spends their lives coding in a darkened room does not deserve to be ripped off by an auto mechanic just because said geek doesen't know how to fix his own car. Perhaps if stopped thinking about yourself for a change and started working towards a non AOL/MS future we would all be a little bit better off.
So whats wrong with doing it yourself? I organized a protest when I was in the 7th grade. Be persistant, and stand strong. And eat your vegtables and do your homework!
You might want to try bearshare. Limewire users are commonly seen as napster leftovers who don't share with the community. Many limewire connections are dropped/blocked because of this. But it dosen't really matter as long as you share!
That is most certianly an elitist argument. What about the children who's families don't have enough money to pay their own way through the 6th grade? What kind of nation do you think we'd have if those without enough money were left behind to fend for thenselves without a grammar school education? Not only that, but by giving a child an education you can possibly instill upon them a love for language, arts or even math:)
To use your line of reasoning why should you pay the government a proportional amount of your salary to buy weapons to protect the country? Why not just buy your weapons or pave your own patch of road in front of your house?
When I was in 7th grade the voters of my town decided not to raise taxes and to instead make budget cuts to the school system. I ended up (due to seniority) having my old art teacher as my new history teacher, and my home economics teacher became my new science teacher (she had a nervous breakdown within a year). I learned absolutly nothing that year and it still pisses me off that the people of my town couldnt see the value of a good education for all.
I didn't mean to sound harsh, but can you see the pitfalls in such a self centered way of looking at the world?
I kinda like the idea of VOIP but this prioritizing of packets worries me. First of all I don't really like someone monitoring what I am sending or recieving (yes I have some idea on just how large the packet/manhour inspection ratio is but it still worries me). Second I don't like the idea of telcos bumping up the priority of (what is essentially their) VIOP data transmissions. I need that ping for counterstrike!!:)
Perhaps I am way off base so please reply if you have some info that pertains to the above.

Hey no problem, next week I'm gonna review The Old Testament. You know, the one with the angry vengefull God. Check it out!
Part of this problem stems from the fact that oil producing countries can offer gasoline at very low prices (even the ones who don't refine it thenselves). Add the fact that most of this gas is leaded and you've got a huge pollution problem on your hands. It also doesn't help that traffic in Istanbul makes the LA rush hour look like a fun drive.
Not so, well..er..um..if it was done in Jurrasic Park II surely same sex reproduction can be done with humans too. No wait, the Chinese invented cloning, and then build a wall to keep their secret in. Uh..cuz the Mongols wanted it. Yes, yes thats it.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I remember fighting with my brother over the Nintendo, my brother crying to my father, my father tossing the Nintendo across the room and then plugging it back in and playing happily with my brother again. Now THAT was quality.
Yea, and I thought that 8$ for a watered down rum and coke was bad. One time at Twilo, I ordered a Long Island Ice-T and the bar tender filled it up half way, when I noted this to him, he merely filled it the rest of the way with soda water...bastard. I wanted to dump it on his smug face, but I didn't feel like having the door opened with my head.

From Filthy Critic's review of "Office Space":

So True...

What's so unnecessary about paying for kids to have an education? Are you cheap or just an elitist?

Do you *need* your computer???

Damm!! You knew people who went to the Frank Zarb Business School at Hofstra? (Where cut and paste was a required class for the major.)
Elementry my dear Watson...none the less I am impressed! :-)

...its gonna be the Turing Police. I'll take Neuromancer over T1&2 any day.
I really hate to do this but your sig should end in "Tightly", not "Tight".

Oh that is it!! Were not gonna wave at you. Were gonna throw rocks! You'll be sorry you nazi/jap sympathizer.
When are we gonna see the Corpsegrinder, the Witches or the Investigator??
We'll be sure to wave from our medieval spaceship next time we fly over your country.
