Would it have been okay if he advocated genocide against Palestinians, people of Lebanon, Hizbullah, arabs in general, but not against Israelis and Jews?
Actually, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", originates in the Old Testament book of Exodus. The blind and toothless thing is not a Jewish saying at all:
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and the whole world would soon be blind and toothless." -- Mahatma Gandhi
He's already followed through on his threat to quit the PHP project. How do we know that he intends to draw the line there and not avenge is countryman? I saw nothing to suggest that he has drawn any such line.
He's certainly not responded to the posting of this IRC log. I'm sure by now at least somebody's alerted him to the fact that it's been made public.
Is it necessary to fornicate with one's own mother in order to be a motherfucker? Or would any mother do?
At any rate, I am quite certain that I have never threatened to kill anyone.
You assert that he doesn't mean what he said, but he has already followed through with quitting the PHP project, as he indicated he would. How can we know that he intends to draw the line there and not avenge the death of his countryman? I found nothing to indicate that such a line had been drawn.
Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that those who are providing him with medical care are watching for side effects of the various medications that he is taking. That especially goes for drugs that could cause mental problems such as violent outbursts. He is, after all, on a peace-keeping mission, and the peace is kept with guns.
I have no reason not to take him at his word. He said in the IRC log that he was going to quit the project and he did. So even if it was said in the heat of the moment, he obviously intends to follow through on what he said to one degree or another.
advocates the use of nuclear weapons against Israel
wishes to join hezbolah in fighting Israel
harbors hostility toward Jews in general, in addition to Israel
Could you please tell me what of that got lost in translation? I mean, even when I tone down his rhetoric for him to make it sound more palatable, it still doesn't come across very well.
Can you think of a possible translation or interpretation of his statements that does not indicate that he advocates genocide against both Israelis and Jews?
As soon as the credit card holder sees the bogus charge, he'll do a chargeback for fraud and the merchant won't get paid. When the merchant doesn't get paid, the advertiser doesn't get paid.
Most, if not all, of the current CPA players work this way. The advertiser doesn't get paid until after the chargeback window expires for the purchase. Ever wonder why it takes so long to collect your cash when you buy something through fatwallet?
As Slashdotters know all too well, if you're not one of the popular elite, any attempt at dating will not only be rejected but will be the business of 400 other kids within twenty-four hours.
I don't know where or when you went to school, but in my public high school, this was totally untrue. Not only did I date, I typically dated 2 or 3 girls at the same time without them finding out about each other. Clearly, the girls I was dating was NOT known by all 400 kids in my class. And it ought to be obvious by the fact that I'm posting on slashdot, but just in case it is not, I certainly was NOT anywhere near being "one of the popular elite". Dating helped though--from the standpoint of, "Ok, if I'm going to be seen in public with you, you've gotta fix XYZ."
My point is that you should not blame your inhibitions on others. If you were too chicken-shit to ask chicks out, that was your own goddamn fault. Hopefully you're more comfortable with it now. BTW, if you ask out chicks at the office.... well, you'll find out...;)
So the CC company will ask from you their money back. You refuse. They can't sue because they don't have any proof you loaned that money.
It's not quite so simple.
First of all, they could sue me for the money. They would certainly lose their suit, but it would cost me money to defend.
But more importantly, and what the credit card company would do in practice, is report "my" debt (really the id thief's debt) to the three credit reporting agencies. These agencies are private companies and, as such, can't force me to pay anyone anything. However, in practice, I could not get a mortgage, a car loan, a credit card, etc., if it shows up on my credit report that I owe some credit card company money. So while I'm not strictly required to pay a debt just because it appears on my credit report, it's a real financial problem for me if that unpaid collection item appears on my credit report.
Unfortunately, getting fraudulent activity removed from your credit report is a royal pain. When my identity was stolen a few years ago, I had only two fraudulent items appear on my report. It took about 30-40 hours of my time over a period of 6 months in order to get it resolved. What if I needed to move during that 6 months and take out a mortgage? I'd have been out of luck.
Also, it was a pain because up until the moment the company who loaned money to the id thief admitted that they screwed up, they treated me like I was the one who just didn't want to pay my debts. These companies were extremely rude and unhelpful to me, and tried to make it as difficult and slow a process as possible to "prove my innocence".
If someone asked me to fix the situation, I would do the following:
Require that in order to report a debt on someone's credit report, one must first obtain a judgment in a court of law.
Publish a list of every American and his/her SSN. That way, SSNs can no longer be considered secret, and companies will have to find some other way for their customers to prove their identities.
Thats the point i still don't get. Lets suppose i'm an US-ian, and you know all my ID-s, SSN-s etc etc. How can you abuse that?
US Financial institutions assume that if you know someone's name and SSN, then you are that person. It is a stupid assumption, but it is the assumption that is made on a daily basis.
If you knew my name and SSN, you could open up a credit card in my name (opening up credit cards is sooooo easy in the US... you can do it online or over the phone) and have the card shipped to your address. Then, you could walk up to an ATM every day and withdraw $500 (or whatever the limit is) in cash. Bonus points if you send fake checks to the credit card company that will eventually bounce, but the CC company credits your account anyhow, so you can keep withdrawing cash. Eventually, the credit card company will come after me for the money because someone called them who knew my name and SSN and asked for a credit card, so it must have been me.
Financial institutions are starting to wise up to this game and are asking questions from your credit report that they obtain from your SSN. Of course, what's to stop an identity thief from pulling your credit report? After all, he has your name and SSN... he must be you...
Hmm. I never really thought about whether or not the Torah prohibits sex with minors. I would think that, because sex is forbidden outside of marriage, and that marriage can only occur after age 12 for girls and 13 for boys, the "age of consent" in Judaism would have to be, 12 and 13, for girls and boys, respectively.
The Talmud recommends that a man marry between the ages of 16 and 24, so clearly there is sex before age 18 in Judaism.
Incest, of course, is prohibited in the strongest possible terms. So sex with your son/daughter is totally out of the question. According to Jewish law, anyhow.
When do you plan to release the securityskins plugin?
Rachna Dhamija: Currently, we have a prototype of the interface developed in Mozilla XUL, which we are improving based on feedback from our studies. Mozilla turned out to be a good prototyping tool, and allows us to rapidly iterate through interface ideas. A number of organizations have expressed interest in adopting security skins, and we have started development of an extension that can be released to the public. So stay tuned!
Well, the company that I use to run credit checks requires an SSN. If you know of a better way, I'd love to hear it. Think of it as a public service to those who don't want to give out their SSNs.
Well, you can't rent an apartment from me, then. I require an SSN in order to do a credit check, and I save it so I can hunt your ass down later if you decide not to pay me and skip town.
Why should I read the comments if you won't even read the article? Don't say you read it when you ask a stupid question that was directly answered by the article. Fact is the man was repeatedly asked to leave and he repeatedly returned. That he was arrested should surprise noone who read the article.
First of all, there is nothing refined about armpit hair and leg hair on a woman.
Secondly, who wants elaborate and refined sex when raw and animal sex is available just to the southwest?
Besides, Spanish women love American men. I have no idea why. Seriously. None. I go to a club in the states and come home empty handed 90% of the time. In Spain, it's like I'm some sort of god.
France is a great place to go to admire the scenery and wish there weren't so many french people around. Spain is a great place to go where the weather sucks but the women are hotter than the weather.

Pretty amazing the things that we say when we reduce our inhibitions with alcohol, no?
Give him time.

And I'm not sure I'm ready to acknowledge any legitamacy on the pro-emacs side of the debate.

Suicide is typically covered by life insurance, as long as the policy has been in force for more than two years.
Well, if you fuck somebody, you're gonna get fucked.

At any rate, everybody knows that in western europe, it's Spain where the serious sex is. France, as usual, is totally irrelevant.
