It costs us taxpayers about $60k/year to keep each of them in jail. That's a lot more than they'd be paid to do the same work at those low end jobs on the outside. So we aren't exactly saving a lot of money
Right because there is no economic cost involved in letting them rampage through society doing whatever the hell they want.
Funny, I've heard this line before. From a prisoner I was attending to at my hospital. Sometimes the inmates get it into their heads that they need a quick vacation to an emergency room and decide to give themselves superficial wounds on their forearms. Anyway he seemed certain that one day I too would end up in jail. There's a slight problem with that logic - I don't break the law. But someone with borderline or anti-social personality disorder will never recognize that it's their behavior that has landed them in jail, no, it's always someone else's fault.
Post hoc justification for the win. I mean, instead of shooting for a reasonable, defensible trademark, now they are forced into defending this highly provocative trademark. Poor them. Especially considering all the free advertising this is getting them in the press.
Anyway as the owner of Program Files (tm), I take exception to something called the "App Store", since in fact my directory can also be used to store apps. And I have a far larger market share than apple, rofl.
There is this thing called causality. It tends to keep things in chronological order. I know that concepts like "before" and "after" an event are strange to you, but they do make a difference. The math just won't let you swap them around like that unless you're very bad at carrying the signs.
How about DISorganized, or "not organized at all"? The "Anonymous Group" is slightly less organized than the Libyan rebel force who at least have enough of a notion of teamwork to lift AA guns onto the backs of pickup trucks.
Oh and by the way, to all you fuckers who were laughing at me a couple weeks ago when I made THIS post, who is laughing now?
Er no, a nanometer is a BILLIONTH of a meter, which would make it a 1,000,000,000/100th (a ten millionth) of a centimeter. The guy who wrote TFA somehow thinks a centimeter is a thousandth of a meter. Funny how cent comes from the latin centum meaning 1/100th (which is why there are 100 cents in a dollar, for example), and milli means thousandth, and still people who write "sciency" articles manage to screw them up. THE METRIC SYSTEM IS NOT HARD, PEOPLE.
If it was that simple then it would fail to account for the fact that diabetics (who go around with high blood sugar levels almost all the time) are more prone to all types of infection than non diabetics.
Discovered? No, we've known this and used this for years. It's a typical procedure to treat difficult wounds that are failing to close by 2nd or 3rd intention with sugar or honey. We also grind up fenitoin pills (used to treat epileptics) and add them to the wound, since fenitoin stimulates fibroblasts and helps with would healing. Of course this is not an FDA approved use of the drug, but it works.
Yeah that's cute. I live in the "Jungle" in Costa Rica. Really, at the local Hooters they wear grass skirts. And considering that it's across the road from the Outback (steakhouse), you can imagine just what kind of jungle this really is... sorry, have to go, the delivery guy is here with my Indian food.
You're right, you don't get it. I think slashdot is way over your head. Perhaps you'd be better off somewhere less demanding on your low IQ. I mean come on, this place makes your head hurt. Why do you keep coming here?
You seem to have missed the point entirely. When Hitler made the statement I quoted, he was referring to how wars would be fought in the future. Not how Germany was fighting the war. Therefore your insistence on dragging the German economy into the argument is irrelevant - the German economy was committed to fighting a conventional war against virtually the entire world. Osama's $300 million (or even $30 million) are resources he had available for a single cause. It is far cheaper to arrange for the hijacking of an aircraft, the derailment of a train, or the bombing of (insert high value target here) than it is to build a single Me-109.
Hitler was pointing out that any free society was extremely vulnerable to this type of asymmetric warfare - small, targeted attacks would, according to him, bring any free society to its knees.
What politicians have failed to make note of, however, is that is assumption is entirely false. Many societies have been bombed over and over again (Columbia, the pretty much all of the middle east, Sri Lanka, the IRA, Eta, etc) and in not one single case has a government or nation ceased to function because of it. Yes it's no fun. Yes it scares people. Yes it kills people. But generally the result is extreme laws and measures that result in a crackdown on terror groups. Perhaps the only case where a partial success was achieved is Ireland, where the IRA at least got political recognition from the appeasing British. So Hitler predicted this method of warfare, however he failed to understand that it is largely ineffective unless you measure victory by body counts.

No one except the owner is indispensable.
Nah, corporations took care of that concept.
Don't be ridiculous. No one who works at a fast food restaurant actually eats the food that they make there.
And more importantly, do these martyrs get 72 free downloads from the App Store(tm)...

as a way to cut down on counterfeit discs
No your honor, the disks are genuine. I bought them at Office Depot, and here's the receipt.
I think the idea is more geared at what's on the disks, not the disks themselves.

Yes. Therefore please do the world a favor and stop breathing immediately.
Conspiracy theorists are too busy making shit up to bother investing time in actually learning real science.
Hurr durr why make stuff just buy it. You totally miss the point of this thread, what are you even doing here?
They are, however, masters at getting the gullible to part with their money.
Nah I'm just laughing at all the idiots who told me I was doing the wrong thing when I am now $60k richer and they are not. Not bad for 2 weeks' work.

No I'm not letting you have my workspace you insensitive clod!
But the human eye works better horizontally. Why do you think eyeglasses are the shape they are?
Noodly appendages.

It also fails to explain why diabetics have higher infection rates than non diabetics... there's something missing.

It's all about choosing the battles you can win
Please explain Afghanistan...
