What the hell does this comment have to do with Palestine, Facebook, or the enforcement of heresy as a state crime? The only thing you can think of is "it's not too different here and that means we are horrible." WTF dude.
Why not just buy a damn guitar, man? With as much effort as you put into this, you could do it for real. I know, I know, stupid idea, I shouldn't have even contradicted the zeitgeist of USA 2010.
Anyone find it funny that my comment about dissenting opinions not being allowed got modded -1 Troll?
OK, I got it - as long as the dissenting opinions are acceptable and not debunked, they are acceptable. Of course, if they were acceptable and had been approved by the authorities, they wouldn't be dissenting opinions, would they? The problem is people using a definition of dissent that does not appear in the dictionary.
So, in other words, dissenting opinions are quashed and diversity is not allowed. I think a lot of theophobes really don't understand what "tolerance" means.
Ah, one of the first positive things that I noticed when I moved overseas was that the "door close" buttons on elevators actually worked. You push them, the door closes. It's that sort of literal-mindedness when a culture apes another culture without knowing why it's doing so. The "how" but not the "why". They didn't know that door close buttons were placebos put in place to lie about giving control. Instead, they connected them up to the control circuits, and when you press the button, by God, the elevator doors close. You can even close the doors directly after they open, ignoring the pleas of people running to get in. Heh, that was another education as well, seeing as I had previously thought that holding elevator doors open for random strangers was something that 'everybody did' - turns out, it's just our culture that does it.
The internet today is primarily composed of top 10 best or top 10 worst lists. They sure make up a lot of content, and I suppose they get a lot of clicks. Heck, they even slipped that iphone pinball advertisement in there without losing their cool.
They're modern nobility. Just mentally substitute "Count" or "Baron" in front of their names whenever you see them, you'll get the idea. Just think how much they'd love it if they were actual nobility from Europe and people had to bow and curtsy before them.
Dude. Have you been alive for the past 10 years? Sneaking a biased opinion into an otherwise factual story is a technique that's gotten a TON of use. Not much incentive to be a journalist otherwise, fact-based reporting is what those hick writers in flyover country do and it certainly won't win you any industry awards.
I can see this software being very useful to identify problem customers who incessantly complain, no matter what the cause. Such customers consume vast amounts of service resources all out of proportion to their numbers. When they attempt to sign up with your company, you can check if they're a bad customer. If their name comes up on the list, bam, their applications for service is declined. This will make them think twice before moaning and groaning that your product didn't come with a free ass-kisser or that the color didn't match their drapes.
Look buddy, if your second child's first response to a new stimulus is to destroy it with a screwdriver, then you have problems. If your second child's response to a new stimulus is to destroy it with guns, then you have REAL problems. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the common factor in these defective responses is YOU. Just a quick question: do you live in Arizona? Did you vote for Angle? If so, that answers a hell of a lot of questions right there.
Have you considered cultural reasons for your childrens' destructive and violent urges? Maybe it's you who's the cause? And where the HELL do you get off stereotyping nonwhites like that? Koreans are like inanimate objects? WTF dude, in what sort of universe is this acceptable in public?
What General Bradley did in WWII could hardly be described as "fun". The very word "amateur" means one who does it for the love of the task, while conversely "professional" means someone who does it for money. Logistics is a lot of hard work, and nobody does it without a full staff to assist. Indeed, logistics is well-known for its dryness and it is not something that anyone would do as recreation. It's essentially the same thing as keeping the shelves stocked in a grocery store.
I played Starcraft, and don't remember any supply rules, other than the unit limit. Maybe they added beans & bullets tracking to SC2, I'll never know. I know a few freaks who like logistics games, and they say honestly their favorite game is Microsoft Excel.
The purpose of China's Golden Shield (what you are incorrectly calling a firewall) is not to keep Chinese people in. It is to keep foreigners OUT. Just wait for the first big net-war. China will shut the world off and go on its merry way. Its citizens will be able to conduct banking, buy from taobao, email each other, etc. Export business will be affected, true, but that is becoming less and less important as China develops its internal markets. The golden days of exporting are over, finished, done. The rest of us hairy, freakish barbarians will be sitting at home, angry because we can't post our feelings on twitter, and discovering all the wonderful ways that life doesn't work without the internet.
Never mistake an employee doing the old copy-and-paste with incompetence. In addition, Chinese have difficulty understanding sarcasm as a cultural issue. Go ahead and laugh at their lack of "savy" (sic) though. I'm sure the racism would be approved.
Serfs were bound to the land. Serfs couldn't leave even if they wanted to. Is Zuckerberg buying land? I don't think so! Are the baronies adjacent to Lord Zuckberberg's estate going to return his fleeing employees to the custody of His Lordship's baliffs? Gimme a f-ing break, man. Stop using the word serfs, it's not the word you're looking for, and it makes anyone who misuses it look uneducated.
Dude, you don't even know what feudalism is, nor what serfs are. Buying a company for its assets is as old as the hills. What, is Count Zuckerberg going to be required to raise his own legion of 1,000 troops the next time there's a war? Or he's going to behead his employees whenever there's a revolt? Give this outmoded language a rest, comrade. In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Because it was not so, it can never be so. A common fallacy that afflicts many in our civilized Western nations.
You and everyone else need to read some Russian language or Chinese language, to see what they're saying when they're not speaking English. Taking back Alaska is a common theme. I see newspapers every day when I walk past the newsstand, the front page photo that recently stands out in my mind was a US carrier with a Chinese missile headed towards it.
And the Russian nukes thing is just silly. The Soviets had moles all over the Manhattan Project, the thing leaked like a sieve. The "People's Glorious Republic of Soviet only got nukes because despicable capitalists had nukes first" sounds like something that Boris and Natasha would say. Seriously, look at 50s agitprop and you'll see the same line.
Nice try for factual inaccuracy. Among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, Alabama ranks 32nd in its percentage of whites and 7th in its percentage of Blacks. It's one of the most racially diverse places in America.
Isn't tarring everyone with the same brush, based on nothing but skin color, actually racism? Are you a self-hating white racist?

What, clicking buttons to match the colors onscreen isn't very tedious?

Well, Socrates was right - his culture was decaying. Maybe he was right to point that out and complain?

Destroying a robot with a screwdriver is destructive. Using it for target practice is violent. Deal with it, long-nose.

So it's a 3D printer? Can it print a Klein bottle? If not, I'm not buying one.
