Well, at the "line", they would cancel each other out exactly, but close to the line they would still almost cancel each other out, so a small object might be able to hold together there. It would be an instable position, but a small spaceship might be able to maintain that position?
It's not the people who bullied him who were sued. He sounds like the sort of kid you WANT to bully, because they deserve it.

Gmail vs Pine
·
· Score: 1
I don't need a client with Pine -- Pine is the client, and it runs on my home machine, no matter where I access it from. Which reduces the client-side needs considerably. All I need is a shell of a few K in any computer system.
Shell? What computer gives you a shell, much less an ssh client? I can access gmail from any internet cafe or library I want, I doubt many of those have ssh.
You, on the other hand, require a multi-megabyte browser that supports client-side operations.
And of course those are so rare. Last time I was on the Internet at a library, there was no browser to be found, just ssh clients... Multi-megabyte? God no, how will that fit on my 500kb hard disk?
Pine can take advantage of all manner of cool and innovative spam filters and other kinds of filters.
Is it automatically configured and enabled as soon as you start it, without you even having to know about it? If not, then it's not as good as gmail.
I notice you've conveniently forgotten to mention needing a computer which is turned on 24/7, an Internet connection which is on 24/7, plus needing to configure the whole lot, i.e. install a mail server, configure the mail server, install sshd, configure sshd, fuck about with iptables so you can get to your mail but hackers can't get in etc etc etc etc.
Corporate power? The corporations are PROVIDING the service in the first place. Surely they have the right to set their own prices for their own services.
I wonder if the reason for this is that the slow starters grow up thinking they are not that smart. So they don't close their minds, as fast as their average IQ counterparts. to new ideas because they have been humbled enough to realize what they know may not be always correct. Vs. Children who grow up and start off smart early so they know they are ahead of everyone else so they assume that they are smarter then everyone else so they close their minds more to different ideas.
Sound in theory, but what if your paid to be on call for 8 hours? Help desk type stuff. I'd go batshit insane if everything was locked down so hard that I couldn't relax a bit in the lulls between calls.
What do you think people did before computers, or today in places where there are no computers to play on? When your employer buys you a computer, it's a tool to do your job, you can't expect anything more, no more than you can expect entertainment from a screwdriver or a hole puncher.
So do you think that the bandits and other just sit there and wait for you to come back at your leisure to kill them? Or do they also go about their business while you go about yours and learn where to get better stuff and get their levels up just as you do?
Except the bandits don't go about their own business gaining levels. They only do it whilst you're doing it. If you stand about doing nothing, the bandits don't get any more powerful either.
Why would a bandit synchronise his killing/levelling with some character he's never met?
This system will probably mean there is zero sense of accomplishment or progression in playing the game.
I recommend this to everyone interested in a DVR....who has an in depth knowledge of computer assembly, Linux installation, and Linux hardware compatibility and drivers.
It doesn't cost $40 to watch a film. And why drink beer whilst watching a film? You won't be able to follow it properly, maybe you're an alcoholic. You also have to add the cost of renting the DVD.
If theater owners want business from people who have $10,000 home theater setups, they need to do better in the visual quality department.
The market for people with $10,000 home theatres is so small as to be completely irrelevent. Outside of the dot-com millionaire set, most people have small cheap TVs.
Its a game. The point of a game is to complete the story.
No, that's the point of those shitty old adventure books. "Turn to page 70 if you want to enter the dungeon". Eastern RPGs are just recreations of those old BBC Micro/Spectrum games where you have an ASCII picture, a paragraph of text and a few choices in each room, i.e. three corridors, one has a dragon in, one is the way out etc.
Surely it's the responsibility of the government to provide health care, not employers?
If I pay someone X amount of money to do Y amount of work, I don't see how that obligates me to provide for their health care. If I pay for a plumber to fix my pipes should I pay a bit extra to go towards his health insurance?
Mom and pop stores don't suck, they just have to sell at prices higher than walmart.
They charge higher prices because they can get away with it, they're often the only shop in town. The variety is poor, the quality is poor, the amount of stock is poor. Many of them only take cash, or have a cash machine that CHARGES for usage. Large chain supermarkets don't charge for cash machines.
They usually are very knowledgable about the product they sell,
How much knowledge is there to be gained about a tin of beens or a bottle of vodka? I'm there for shopping not an educational experience.
the place was dirty, shelves were disorganized
Sounds like 'mom and pop' stores to me. I can't speak for Walmart, but large British supermarkets like Tescos and Sainsburies are very clean, light and professionally run. On the other hand, small independent shops have lino floors, poor lighting, and the opening hours are rubbish.
If you're not open 24/7, I'm not interested. I'm a shift worker, and when I finish work at 3am those 'mom and pop' stores that close at 5pm are absolutely no use to me.
War and Peace isn't really that interesting. In fact, of all the "great literature" that english majors like to rave about, I find that less than 10% of it even makes the level of decent, much less good.
War and Peace is a bad example. The story itself isn't that long, it's just padded out really badly, the author rambles on and on repeating himself over and over again, saying things he's already said a hundred times before.
There are books of similar length which aren't nearly as turgid or heavy, such as the Karamozov Brothers or the Count of Monte Cristo. People read them today, I can't see people playing Final Fantasy XI in a hundred years.
A well-fleshed out world with its own history doesn't make up for paper-thin characters with no personalities.

Radio 1 still remains to be one the most varied and innovate radio station in the UK.
Yeah, you get crap pop music, and... crap pop music. Plus whatever song they want to plug that week (completely breaking the BBC's charter).
It's bland, production line crap that will be forgotton in a week, that only sold because it was plugged on the radio. No different to a CD.
Also the rules state that it can only get in the official charts if it's released afterwards on CD, so it's not technically download only.

And before the internet, 75% of 9-19 year olds have seen print/film pornography.
Doubt it. Internet pornograph is much, much easier to find, and can be acquired anonymously by anyone of any age.
