The UN created Israel because the proto-Israelis were in rebellion against the British Mandate, and when the British reported that they couldn't maintain the peace, the UN came up with a partition plan.
If they are trying to keep their sexual orientation a secret, and someone blackmails them to provide (or sell) classified information or else their sexual orientation will be revealed, then it becomes a security issue. If they're not trying to hide anything, then it's a non-issue.
How soon until banks combine under-car flamethrowers with the pepper spray module? That way ATM patrons can enjoy barbecued pepper steak while they bank. No, wait...
From TFA:
The network plans to make the changeover July 7, when it will launch the new series "Warehouse 13."
The series, about a secret government facility in South Dakota where all mysterious relics and supernatural souvenirs are housed, is emblematic of the channel's programming direction.
"It is a dramedy and it is set in the here and now. It's a kind of an Indiana Jones meets 'Moonlighting' meets 'The X-Files,'" Mr. Howe said. "This is a very accessible, relatable(sic), fun show."
Hmm, I wonder if the writers of this new show forgot that they watched the TV show Friday the 13th for three whole seasons when they were younger, and just now came up with this fresh, new idea for a TV series?
If I recall correctly, thinkgeek has a UV light they sell that will do the trick. Using it is also more cool than using the sun, in more ways than one.
Actually, the GP said "irreguardless", so it was both redundant and misspelled.
I like the redundancy surrounding "flammable" and "inflammable," especially "highly inflammable". Hmm, like saying "this steel girder is inflammable (won't burn), but that rock over there is highly inflammable (really, really won't burn)."
I think the British started using "inflammable" to mean something WOULD burn (no clue if flammable means just the opposite to them?) So inactive means something IS active? Can't figure it out.
I thought Blockbuster had the reputation of editing out objectionable material (sex, religious references or "bad words") from the movies it rented. Or did they stop doing this?
If they are still editing, then their service would not be identical to NetFlix.
The only reason I could see an advantage in using different accounts is so the kids won't know you're renting porn. But since Netflix doesn't rent porn, that's not really a reason. So you're saying everyone in your family has exactly the same taste in movies? Seems unlikely. That you also ignore the "Movies You'll Love" suggestions? Too bad you don't use that feature either.
And, most importantly, since Netflix doesn't rent porn, no one should be allowed to use separate profiles. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
I called and expressed my displeasure. It seemed like they had gotten MANY calls and e-mails, and may be re-considering this change.

Profiles feature going away
As a Netflix product manager I'm tasked with the wonderful job of helping members find movies they'll love. But today my job is more challenging as we've decided to terminate the profiles feature on September 1. Please know that the motivation is solely driven by keeping our service as simple and as easy to use as possible. Too many members found the feature difficult to understand and cumbersome, having to consistently log in and out of the website.
Continuing to maintain the profiles feature for the passionate few who use it (including myself) distracts us from the mission of presenting to all our members the easiest way to find the best titles for them from the 100k plus on DVD and the 10k plus available instantly.
We will do our best to find better ways for families to share accounts than the existing profiles feature and will continue to invest in improving the website experience in many different ways.
The Annoy-a-tron generates a short (but very annoying, hence the name) beep every few minutes. Your unsuspecting target will have a hard time 'timing' the location of the sound because the beeps will vary in intervals ranging from 2 to 8 minutes. The 2kHz sound is generically annoying enough, but if you really really want to aggravate somebody, select the 12 kHz sound. Trust us. The higher frequency and slight 'electronic noise' built into that soundbyte will make a full-grown Admin wonder where his packets are.

The code is 1 2 3 4 5 for all airports across the world. Huh. Odd. That's the same as my luggage combination.
The UN created Israel because the proto-Israelis were in rebellion against the British Mandate, and when the British reported that they couldn't maintain the peace, the UN came up with a partition plan.
I always wondered who created Partition Magic.
Perhaps he may be related to e.e. cummings?
Oh, I was thinking of yet another Barksdale, a Mr. Avon Barksdale from the HBO series The Wire..
Why can't I friend Anonymous Coward under the zoo system?!!!
That's only legal in West Virginia (or was it Michigan...?)
Exactly... any admin worth their position could extract similar information from their corporate network.
;-) Suppose it amounts to the same thing.
I read that as "any admin worth their partition..."

Good point. Though any Plexiglas would have to be UV-hardened, else it would get brittle, yellow, and eventually crack in the harsh desert sun.
We apologize. Those responsible have been sacked.

Back when I was young we ate the dirt and were thankful for it. You young whippersnappers these days...how's one supposed to win a war with you?
You had dirt? You were lucky. We had to eat ones and zeroes. Some days all we had were zeroes. We ate 'em and were glad.

And the link is...UV Disinfectant Wand.
They don't have to make it illegal. They just have to make it really really incontinent to not have it.
I think you're confusing the Kill Switch with the Pee Switch.
Ya know, I keep seeing comments like this and I have to wonder... how productive do you think this kind of response really is?
Well, I did notice the post was from a seven-digit UID: hayagriva (1260388), so we can infer from that. ;-)
Kinda like responding to a "solar flashlight" invention by saying "Well, if the sun's shining, why do you need a flashlight? Duh!"
Just a note: irregardless is redundant.
Yeah yeah, -1 offtopic.

Even better yet, skip the battery, the inverter and the panel, and install a window / skylight. :)
Yeah, umm, that only works for a few nights each month--during the full moon!If they are still editing, then their service would not be identical to NetFlix.

Just need the lasers. The monkeys are already IN the Pentagon...
Then anyone carrying a Post-It (or a pen and paper, capable of drawing a fake "calm" face) would be labeled a Terrorist.
