So 97% of them aren't right? Show me much of anything that's 97% accurate in this world? I think that's a hell of a deal!
You go live in the world where no terrible mistakes like this are made (but where you get to live in it for a far shorter amount of time because some little monster stabs you in a theater for telling him to shut the fuck up) and I'll live in the world that gets 3% wrong.
Screw it lets pick up the pace and get 5% wrong. On average we'll still be doing better than your dead ass.
See that's the reason why I think sentencing of juvenile offenders is so ass backwards. I think if a teen does something that results in someones death then gas them asap. I mean think about it for a sec. It's expensive as hell to legally put down a killer so society should make every effort to drop the young ones. You get more for you money that way.
What's the point of putting some guy who's 40-50 years old to death after he's lived the majority of his life making those around him miserable and maybe killed multiple people? Fuck that. Drop him early and the rest of us get to enjoy the world sans asshole from then on.
There's all this desire to see these kids rehabilitated in some way but why? It's not like there's a shortage of kids in this world so why keep the ones who just don't give a shit. Flush them and make the place better for everyone else.
It's 1980-something and a bunch of my friends want to go see Purple Rain. It's got some dude named Prince in it but I don't know who the fuck that is and I don't care. After the movie we're all going to go do something else anyway and so they pay for my ticket to get me to go. I sat through that piece of shit and it could have been worse. Honestly it was bad but not siezure bad. This was on a Friday night.
Saturday night gets here and I'm with a different group of friends. They all want to go see Purple Rain. I'm thinking "What the fuck is going on here" but again they all say we'll get the ticket and so I willingly walked into a theater for a second time in two days to see Prince. When I walked out of the second viewing I was thinking "I am never going to see this movie again as long as I live.
Sunday afternoon I'm hanging around with three girls I went to school with. One of them I'm trying like hell to sleep with. Guess what they want to do? Yep, Purple Rain. For the third time in three days I sat through that movie but I was hanging on by a very thin thread. We sat in front of a couple who brought their infant.
The infant apparently had several pieces of bamboo stuck under it's toe nails because it didn't stop screaming the entire time they sat there. That amounted to just about 20 minutes or so. That's when I snapped. I stood up and literally shouted at this person at the top of my lungs "IF YOU DON'T GET THAT FUCKING BABY OUT OF HERE I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH IT!"
They got up and just about ran out of the theater. I got serious applause and sat back down to wait for the usher (or the cops) to come run me out of there. Nobody ever came though and sadly I sat through the entire picture....again.
Rename your browser a few times just to keep the general public too confused to ever really adopt it. If that looks like it's not going to completely do the trick then make a point of choosing some of the stupidest names for the program that you can possibly find.
Firefox is literally too good to have this stuff keep happening to it. This is what I call a damn shame.
Absolutely correct. For many years I would tell people that I could (and would) build them a better computer for less money than any of the major brands and I made a lot of money doing just that. Even with what I charged to do it they got more for less.
For the last few years that just hasn't been the case. I could build a better computer but I could never touch the price point of most of the machines sold at Best Buy. There wasn't even any point in trying. Why beat that price by using crap and then be forced to support it for another year.
Now I rarely build a computer for anyone. I tell them to go get a Mac. If they're particularly cheap I tell them to get a Mac Mini.
Mexico? Isn't that a tad to far over towards the "complete anarchy" side of the problem? On this side of the border you'll get your door kicked in one day for downloading an mp3 which I understand is not so good but on that side of the border the police chief lasts all of one day. I'm in Texas too and I'm staying put.
Without mod points I am powerless to correct the unjust "Offtopic" that another has visited upon you. I shall do my best however to find someone bearing mod points along with a working sense of humor to set this to rights.
FOR I AM JUUUUUUUDGE FUUUUUURIOUS!
And yes, I'm Offtopic as well but honestly now, it's a stupid, stupid topic isn't it? The end of folders? Please! As another poster pointed out just north of this post Microsoft has been planning this for a long, long time. Newsflash here, Microsoft (As well as pretty much every other company in this industry) plans the end of a lot of things and not all of them happen. Probably most of them don't happen. Microsoft planned the demise of DOS for how long before it went away?
If it was going to happen in our lifetime. Nobody's going to get the user-pods to change their hard-won ideas overnight. This is a nothing to see, move along thread if ever there was one.
My investigation has uncovered a series of hippy drum circles arranged in a flower shaped pattern on this map (that you cannot see).
My research clearly shows that we are very close to the start of a hippy music festival. It could begin at almost any moment. In fact it may already be too late.
The information that matters here is whether the European Zombies are classic slow moving "Romero" type zombies or modern "28 days later" type zombies.
This will tell us what we need to know in order to fight them.
And he's completely entitled to. It wouldn't make him right though and it wouldn't mean that he "changed the world" unless of course you do a radical scaling back of what that phrase means.
Sometimes you just want to be able to go to Baskin & Robbins and order a couple of scoops of "Cherries Jubilee" without getting spam from the Cherry Growers of America or some such bullshit. Not having your name, address, and buying habits sold to everyone under the sun is a good thing and the same general purpose is served here.
Who's upset? I'm absolutely not upset. I haven't been the slightest bit upset since my first post where I confess to being very much annoyed with the US education system bashing I'd seen.
Since then not so much.
Now not at all.
I have also found this "conversation" amusing. Highly amusing? Not really. Just kind of funny. I'm done though.
So you're telling me that in the time this post of yours has been here not one of these people who find the American education system amusing has seen fit to moderate it "+1, Funny"?
Not one?
I know the United States doesn't provide the entire audience here on/. so where are all of these people? Where's just one? Howhave the posters from everywhere else in the world managed to miss the comedic stylings of TekPolitik?
No thank, you may need it in the future. Apparently I'm not alone in failing to see the humor in your post. I'll make you a deal. I'll pay closer attention to what I respond to in the future and you go get some new material.
After the first dozen or so jokes about the US education system in this thread I think that I can be forgiven my error here. I simply scanned over what you said and responded to everything I'd read in this thread up to that point. My mistake and no need to act an asshole over it.
Before you begin mourning my lack of a sense of humor stop to consider that what you said simply may not have been particularly funny.
Actually that 40% is aware that there are countries outside the US. They just think that the US shouldn't waste the money or manpower on helping to feed them, assisting them in times of need, or helping to defend them when someone decides to take them over. They also don't see any point in wasting the effort to throw out mass murdering dictators who make their lives hell since they don't appreciate it anyway.
If I had to guess these are simply gestures he does without thinking as he chokes someone with the force or flips a switch across the room. They probably are not necessary but he does them anyway.
Everyone suggesting that anyone who got to these pictures share them is getting modded "Troll" but seriously now, how many people in here went straight for those pages and wanted to see them? People are (generally) hypocritical about things like this. They wouldn't want it to happen to them but they want to see it when it's someone else.
Asking for the pictures isn't being a Troll. It's being pretty much human. We're a species of voyuers for the most part.
And yes, I replied to this particular article just to make sure I could find the URL that the AC responding to it posted when I get home.
Flash a-ah Savior of the Universe Flash He save everyone of us Flash He's a miracle Flash King of the impossible

With Freddy dead I never would have believed this possible. We truly do live in amazing times. Next I want a "Fat Bottomed Girls" based hard drive. Sweet!
What so they get a pass because they're seriously injured? I could see this if they hadn't seriously injured themselves while attempting to do something deeply stupid. Things being as they are I think these two deserve every single cheap crack that Slashdot can come up with.
Just so it's clear that I'm not completely devoid of decency I hope they survive and I hope they are not horribly disfigured for life (though I find it hard to imagine they won't be). I just think that cheap cracks come with this territory.

It said "Graffiti Bridges". Is this another one of those Hollywood summer sequels?

I was educated in the US and I am aware of nations beyond the borders of Canada and Mexico? How do you explain that?
Oh you don't? You're just kidding. Right, got it. You're so clever!
Charming of you to say so.

I for one agree with our new humor critic overlord. That jokes getting pretty stale.
