When I do that (i.e, Google "overhand coil"), I get this article, which tells me to Google "overhand coil" and when I do that, I get this article again..... Aaaah...
Oh!.. Wait..
How very subtle; what a perfect example of a knot...;)
Because that's not a moon. And when we send a spacecraft up there to map its interior, we'll find out that our moon is not really a moon but a 50000-year old battleship, an Utu-class planetoid named Dahak, stuck here because of a failed mutiny attempt..:)
Nothing yet, probably. But that doesn't mean there won't ever be any.. Also, in most cases, these boards are used by people like John Carmack to come up with proof-of-concept of new ideas/technologies, or whatever cool thing he's cooking up...
While they may be overkill for your average user, for (game) developers these things will be goldmines..
I would want to see warning signs posted at key places in buildings where this paint is used though... And a phone number to which I can forward my cell phone when I'm inside this building as well.
Because..
The very first time I miss an emergency call because of this paint, I will be suing both the building and the company that made the paint. I might even sue the guy who applied the paint on the walls..
Some people RELY on their cell phones' ability to receive calls...
From TFA: "We shouldn't be there to critique the women. We should be there to critique the games. And don't even get me started on what the use of booth babes in the first place says about the industry's views of women in general..."
Well, shall we, then, get the author started on booth babes in [Detroit|Chicago|<insert your favorite here>] Auto Shows?..
Or, the commercials we see on TV?...
The Modeling "industry" (female models in particular)?...
Or the entire Hollywood?..
Do we draw a line someplace? If so, where should it be?...
Btw, for those challenged by the thought process here, "the use of booth babes in the first place" implies "sex sells", and that by putting a scantily-clad woman in front of anything will get attention drawn to it.. Since this marketing methodology has worked for the past, oh I don't know, thousand years or so, I'm thinking it would take a bit longer, and would require much education to eradicate...
Besides, most industries view women as potential buyers of their products, just like they view men as potential buyers. Try to notice the pattern here..
From TFPR: "The effective protection of American intellectual property has been sorely lacking in Russia". (Emphasis mine..)
Why should the RUSSIANS (or insert your favorite country here) care for "protection of AMERICAN intellectual blahblah.."?... When first and foremost, they're supposed to be caring for their own "intellectual blahblah"...
And this will somehow pass, and we'll go on trying to get countries to uphold US Law in their own land, and more and more and more people will get to love us, don't you think?...
When you KNOW spammers "harvest" mailing addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses from WHOIS databases, would you give your information out if the registrar says they will share this information with anyone?
I will never use registrars who do not implement some form of anti-spam measures..
I finished BSCS in 6 consecutive semesters -- in 2 years.. With 120 credits exactly -- which was required for a BSCS degree...
So it's doable, if you really want to do it.. I took 20+ credits each semester to pull it off.. Consider it as going to work each day, as I had classes from 8am till about 4pm...
I have to admit though.. My degree did not include MCSD certification, but then again, doesn't it expire in two years or so?...
We're in the 21st century, right? Why do we still need censorship by the government? Can we not trust the people who make these shows to show some self-restraint?
So what if Fox shows people screwing eachother on live TV over the public waves?.. It'll be for a short time before people get bored of seeing it and start looking for better shows... Eventually, when their ratings drop, the producers will realize that overdoing something will have adverse effects..
Banning/censoring something never worked before.. Why should it work now?
Once again.. If we do change these "offending" code blocks, we would be admitting to our "guilt".
The kernel hackers should not even think about changi anything until these lawsuits are resolved..
Why give your enemy more ammunition? He'll just come back and attack you again...
That's because they're hiding the power lines, and the highway far out back. If you look closer, you'll see one of those rocks has a digital watch on his arm, too..
[...] favorite quote from an LA city attorney: 'If you carry one of these into a movie theater, you have to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky?"'...
No, that's a very wrong assumption by that LA city attorney...
After this law, what I really ask myself is "Do I really want to give $(insert ticket price) to MPAA?" or "Can I wait a bit and RENT the movie from the BlockBuster down the road for $3.99 and watch it in my living room?"...
Yeah we liked Firefly a lot (insert futuristic Chinese gibberish here), but come on guys, when has/. become the "come and we'll give you free plugs" website??

Or maybe I'm being picky.. I don't know..
me if I decided to stream the streamed music? And share it with everyone else in the world?
Yes, I know it'd be illegal to re-stream the Snapster 2.0 stream to people, and the RIAA lawyers will be all over that possibility...
But I like the idea...
