If someone dropped 250k in my lap, I wouldn't say anything, not a damn word. 5k, however, is a little shallow for a bribe. I would say it's worth it for the respect you could get for coming clean about it.
In conclusion, I think Samsung should give me 250k so I can prove my point.
While this is indeed promising, and I hope that this 'unlocks' this poor fellow, this 'unlocking' has not happened yet. Hopefully, when they are able to decipher these signals, he's not saying, "Kill me" over and over again. Nah, he wouldn't ever say that...
Actually, according to the constitution, we all have the right to complain. It's not the people who complain that cause problems in our government, it's the people who don't.
Yeah because missions are way more fun then mining! Oh wait, it involves doing the same set of a dozen missions over and over again? And salvaging is more boring then mining? Damn, I guess I'll sit at a gate camp for two hours and kill the occasional innocent traveler.
(and it would take about 2 years to pull out without recklessly endangering U.S. troops and workers stationed there) All the more reason to get the ball rolling on plans for withdrawing, and acting on them ASAP.
BTW, this isn't the first humanitarian crisis the U.S. has caused, nor would it be the worse that we've ignored.
Also, who is saying that this isn't a humanitarian crisis as we speak?
Pussy totally r00lz, and is going to pwn the game market this year! On the other hand, your ass is ugly, hard to use, buggy, and will soon be remembered as the game platform nobody can remember!
Sigh, filling in the blanks with naughty words like "pussy" and "ass" never gets old.
Mod parent up. A fat slob and a body builder can have the exact same BMI, yet their risk for various diseases are going to completely different. These articles never talked about the fact that the elderly lose bone matter and probably have a lower BMI then younger healthy people. In fact this research didn't even seem to take into account age at all.
I didn't see anything about when they BMI'd these individuals. Did they weigh them a few weeks before, a year before, after? Furthermore, what about the diseases that cause you to lose weight? You can lose a lot of muscle mass from laying in a hospital bed for weeks. I think the "correlation != causation" argument applies to even this finding. It could be that the diseases that cause the death also cause the weight loss.
Sad thing is, I know people who will use this research as an excuse to treat their bodies like shit.
He has a wife and two young daughters, I doubt he is going to go Seung-Hui Cho on us any time soon. There is a pretty clear difference between people with anger management issues, and suicidal psychopaths.
My office neighbor gets scary when he is having trouble figuring something out on his computer. He swears and bangs the table and it makes me scared. I don't think his behavior is helping anyone:-(
That fan obviously isn't working. Look how red his face is! Now if you placed two fans on his ears, you'll be able to get a nice air stream going through his head.
That caveman from the Geico commercials was just starting to make progress with his therapist. Let's hope the poor guy doesn't stumble upon this article. This hacker might get a few unexpected prison visits from whiny cavemen.
There is a huge difference between trendy sites back in the 90's and the sites now. I was a frequent internet user as a high school student back in the 90's, and I've never even heard of those sites you mentioned except for livejournal, and I don't think I've ever actually visited it. All that stuff was before the.com bust. Every one and their grandma was trying make trendy websites. And that's why the were just trends. Those websites you mentioned were minuscule compared to myspace and facebook today. FaceBook and MySpace are worth billions of dollars. Something worth that much isn't going to disappear in a few years. They are growing and are continuing to grow. I think most people would rather go to the networking site all their friends are on, even if there is something else better out there. Maybe in a few decades or generations, another website will take over. But most likely, a corporation will just by myspace or facebook and change the name.
We are unlucky to be living in such an alarmist, idiot filled nation, in which you are likely to be shot for having anything that sort of looks like a bomb or a gun. I'm sorry, maybe I'm missed something, but I don't recall this happening often, or recently. I think you misused the word likely. Maybe you're talking about Iraq?
Ok..so anything that isn't in a pretty, professional package...is considered a possible bomb? No anything that looks suspicious is considered a possible bomb. Regardless of it's beauty. Not only did she have suspicious electronics on her, but she acted suspiciously but not responding to inquiries about the device. This is one of those situations where it's best not to take any chances. No one got hurt, so I think the right move was made.
Aside from the fact, that I think someone wearing a bomb, wanting to get in as far as possible, would NOT be wearing the mechanism on the outside of their clothing, advertising it for a guard to see....I think we've just with this incident, given the 'terrorists' a good clue how to sneak stuff by. If it doesn't have wires and components hanging out of it...if it doesn't look like a hand fabbed piece of electronic equipment, they probably aren't gonna get stopped at gunpoint for wearing a bomb. I don't think security works that way. I wouldn't want security personnel to think "Oh, there's no way that guy is a terrorist, all the wires and explosives surrounding his body is just way too obvious for them to be real!"
I do agree that the ATHF incident highlighted the fact that our paranoia has been taken to extreme levels. But I think the difference of this incident is that the dumb MIT girl didn't respond to questions about the device, making her suspicious. The device she was wearing didn't really seem to serve a purpose, which made it more strange in the first place. The ATHF signs were obviously homemade "light-brites" that were signs and nothing else, IMO.
The true victory is this: the name of the store is "Circuit City" make a note of that "Circuit City". Got that? Now you out there, oh slash dot geek buing public: know the name of this -soon-to-hurt-badly retailer and...... DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS! go to PC Club or Best Buy or whatever but shop ELSEWHERE. -THAT is the true way to get back at this sort of situation. Why refuse to buy Circuit City's products? Becuase they ask for your receipt when you leave? Best Buy and many other stores do this when you make big purchases as well. I frankly have no problem showing my bag and receipt. It takes two seconds...dig deal.
We have given the police special powers, because it is necessary for them to do their job. I realize it is a very hard and thankless job; it does not pay well, and is often looked upon with scorn. But, that is something which must be accepted when a person chooses to become a police officer. Along with that, there must come an added level of responsibility to use the powers granted by the people, in an appropriate fashion. Any abuse of those powers, no matter how slight, must be punished. If it's a hard and thankless job and it doesn't pay well, Who the hell is going to take jobs like these? It would only be people who couldn't work any where else. Do we want to give these people power and authority? You can't just underpay cops, punish them at any hint of wrong doing, and expect to have qualified individuals protecting and serving. Why don't you just admit that you don't like and don't want cops. That's all fine and dandy, you just better be ready for a society without police officers (make sure you buy a nice gun, and know how to use it).
Patrick Henry said it best: I know not what course others make take, but as for me: give me Liberty, or give me death. Do I have to remind people we are talking about a guy who refused to show his receipt and identification? This isn't the American Revolutionary War. Nor is this part of some civil right movement. Give me a fucking break.
He isn't a freedom fighter. In fact, he lost one of his own freedoms in the process. Now if the same incident happens again, he can't sue the city.
Circuit city still asks to see your receipt, and cops still ask for you identification, and still take you to jail when you aren't being cooperative. This guy has done nothing for our freedoms, except reminded us that we have the freedom to start flame wars over unimportant stories like this.

I would totally buy that bumper sticker, and I don't even have kids.
It would be more like:
"Kill me, Kill me, Kelly Clarkson me, Kill me, Kill Penis..."

Yeah because missions are way more fun then mining! Oh wait, it involves doing the same set of a dozen missions over and over again? And salvaging is more boring then mining? Damn, I guess I'll sit at a gate camp for two hours and kill the occasional innocent traveler.

To you and I, it might seem like that. But then, again we aren't morons (like the majority of the voting population).
That's not a crazy idea, that's the most retarded idea I've ever heard.
Yes, lets give children guns, look at how well thats working out for them in African countries in civil war.

Let me guess, you were one of the eight percent of teenagers that had that strange disorder.
Some day, when man can invent mini copters... they can, and they will.

That fan obviously isn't working. Look how red his face is! Now if you placed two fans on his ears, you'll be able to get a nice air stream going through his head.
I also believe that humans and fish can coexist peacefully...as long as they don't support terrorists.

Umm, no.
