why is it assumed that when I use someone else's network that my conversation is secure? If I hand someone a sheet of paper with stuff written on it what guarantee do I have that the person transporting it for me will not sneak a peek at what is written on the sheet of paper. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! It's a federal crime to open someone else's mail, you gorram sheep!
When your government says "bend over", stop asking "how deep?"! Seriously, you're arguing AGAINST your own rights! What the hell is wrong with you?
Sweet, one step closer to me getting gamma-induced powers...HULK SMASH....
Or cancer. I realized long ago that the Marvel universe is identical to our own except for one fundamental detail: In our universe, when a freak accident occurs, people die. In the Marvel universe, they get super big, super strong, and oddly colored.
Anti plants? Are you nuts? Anti plants do anti photosynthesis. And while glowing oaks might be cool, their carbon emissions are just way too high. You just don't get it do you? Anti-Carbon emissions would solve global warming forever!
You can't "kill" an inefficient government short of staging a coup and killing people. You are MUCH to used to the fake-democracy of your two-party system. You can kill an inefficient government by voting in a new party, in some countries. No bloodshed needed.
The meters are there to reduce the number of parked cars, not for revenue. The meters are operated for profit by a private entity that pays dues to the city. The meters are there for revenue, not to reduce the number of parked cars, that's just the line they tell the sheeple so we don't all grab a sledgehammer to go have a piñata party downtown.
I hate Degaule's politics, and the politics of the French (the country), for being arrogant and ignorant enough to interfere in Canada's internal politics So you hate the USA even more, then? They interfere quite a bit more in Canadian internal politics than France.
uncompressed (CD-quality) DRM-free songs Says who? Seriously, where did you see this information? Where did they say "uncompressed", and where did they say "DRM-free"?
Do the advertisers really believe that they will defeat the nerds at their own game on their home field (i.e. technology and network protocols)? My guess is they'll fight by declaring the nerds' method to be "circumvention technology" and see about getting it outlawed.
Yeah, but when we use AdBlock we block ALL ads, whether they're obnoxious or not. Not true. I block only adservers that won't let me ignore their crap.
So when I'm done reading the content in the middle of the page, I can scan the surrounding links and read any ads that stayed in its corner nice and quiet while I was busy. If I try to read the content and an ad keeps taking my attention away from the content, then I will never again see and ad from that server, and after I'm done adding them to my ban list, I can resume my reading.
How exactly will a webmaster find ads that users are willing to accept if the ads are blocked The ads are blocked when they get unacceptable. Anything that flashes, moves, makes noises, pops or crawls gets blocked. Google's text ads don't get blocked because they don't get in the way, they just sit there quietly being relevant.
old persons become conservative just because of Nostalgia: The world is not as it was when they grew up, and they think enough change is enough. Kids these days! Don't know how easy they got it... why, in MY days...
When you make yourself THAT easy a target, you shouldn't be surprised when people take pot shots.
I'm Canadian. I remember Degaule's "Vive le Quebec Libre" speech in Quebec City. [...] As far as I'm concerned, the French don't get half the ridicule that they deserve. No you don't remember that: that was in Montreal. You remember your hate of Quebec, your hate of their French ancestors, and you mingled the two. But you don't actually base your hate on reality, you just pretend like you do.
Do you remember ever yelling "speak white!" to french speakers? That used to happen a lot... Because just speaking a different language from the majority makes one THAT easy a target of hate from people like you, just like being a different colour would. You can pretend like the targets of your prejudiced hate deserve more hate, you can even hate an entire people for comments one of them made in the 60's, but they don't actually deserve your bile, you're just a racist with a lot of justifications and rationalizations.
And, seriously, "Long live free Quebec" is your reason for this hate? A desire for FREEDOM, of all things? You hate them for their freedom, and you make that comment on this date? Good grief!
I have seen an awful lot of college students go from "mad liberal" to moderate in a matter of a few years Well that would TOTALLY invalidate their conclusions then, huh? A researcher not affiliated with the study stated, liberals 'could be expected to more readily accept new social, scientific or religious ideas.'
Fortunately, if there are US christians who openly advocated violence against other countries in order to convert their population, they are not in positions of power. [duh, Bush]
so why do these same people assume he was being sincere here?
Well, it definitely suits them to believe it in this case. Who said anything about sincerity? He's clearly pandering. It doesn't matter if he really believes Jesus wants him to bomb numerous countries (!), it matters if people vote for him because he says so.
Anyone who says ads are evil has a whacky moral compass, and they're diluting the term. Evil is as evil does. Starting a nasty rumor isn't as bad stabbing someone, but it's still evil. Ads can be evil, they can mislead people into thinking that smoking is a good idea, they can make people buy products you know are tainted, they can blink in a corner and stop anyone with ADD from reading the text on the screen, or start an epileptic seizure, startle someone with a weak heart, etc.
Just because there are worse things in the world don't make the small ones immune to evil.
Personally, though, I think it might be more fun to attach the thing to a sewer-sucker or garbage truck... something unpleasant You think it would be fun to attach it to something unpleasant?? Eww.
Such a big difference in story lines would make it difficult to integrate The Transformers movie is about an incoherent macguffin, and apparently all those scientific progress the germans and russians were doing in the 20th century were actually reversed engineered by a secret US government agency by studying a frozen alien robot kept in california and never thawed nor disassembled.
It's Hollywood kid: fuck the story line, it's gonna have cars, babes and lots of explosions, and the protoculture will be a macguffin of all-spark proportions.
"Mecha" not "mechas". The same way that "deers" or "mooses" are incorrect. One mecha or many mecha, there is no S at the end. Except that "deers" and "mooses", you know, actually exist. Welcome to the 21st century!
You have your actual, crummy mecha, land walker. A hint of what all-terrain robot legs can do with a robot donkey. And mechanical monsters are a cultural inevitability, ask robosaurus.
A sci-fi movie where the science is mathematics and the fiction is a discovery of a predictive code for a stock market pattern. Educational bonus: Staring at the sun is a bad idea.
It's also safe for the humans, fast, cheap, and easy to scan in a busy loading dock or port without the cooperation of the animal. This is especially handy if the animal is ill, or the animal is from another country where rabies, antrax, or bird flu are active health risks. High-tech branding it is.
why on EARTH would anyone want one of these awful things inside their bodies? So they can go on TV and pretend to be a cyborg... and manage to get people to actually believe they're the FIRST cyborg. As if there hadn't been people walking around with pacemakers, cochlear implants or wires sticking out of the vision/motor control region of their brains for decades!...I hope he gets cancer;(
While I do understand the desire to see the night sky better, I'm not sure that this is "pollution" per se. Pollution (at least as defined by Merriam-Webster) implies contamination http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/light%20 pollution Main Entry: light pollution Function: noun : artificial skylight (as from city lights) that interferes especially with astronomical observations
It's a DICTIONARY! Stop trying to divine what it might imply and read what it actually says verbatim!

When will there be politicians worth voting for?
