I dunno. I know a co-worker who was offered some good money for a customer database. He didn't sell it but could have and likely could have gotten away with it.
Actually, it's what the man says that I don't like. I could care less what he does. You know Hitler instilled a sense of pride in his people too. Maybe people are too hard him?
You're high. Dan Rather? Jason Blair? Big Media is essentially a spin factory these days. We have troops coming back from Iraq and hardly recognizing what they're seeing on the news passing for "war coverage." Yet, we're formulating our opinions on the war based on that coverage. Hmmm...
As for Chavez, I could care less what becomes of it. He's a piece of shit.
I wonder how much of this is sour grapes. People always poo-poo ideas so what's new? When drag racers were struggling to break the 170mph barrier in the 60's doctors told them the human body could never survive the g-forces necessary to hit that speed in 1/4mi. Now they do 300mph. I'm sure when Ma Bell built all those old desk phones they never dreamed they a) last this long and b) withstand the incredible power surges they have over the years. Yet, these phones can handle a ton more than new sets can handle.
Frankly, I think the CS'ers (Cold Spotters) are just trying to debunk established scientific facts with fantastic claims that are based in conjecture. All of us Transitional Planetists need to make sure these clowns don't teach this shit in our schools!
This is where I sit back and watch the establishment piss themselves to mod me down first.
Sometimes the 'security mindest' gets silly. I often find our security team thinks they're being paranoid for the good of the company when the truth is they're being a roadblock for the sake of being a roadblock. Or more frightening, to cover up their ignorance or to short-cut understanding the application they're trying to secure.
In this regard, they likely are miserable people but frankly, you should have people in your security department that are jazzed about IT and security. Not someone who flipped a quarter between CPA and IT professional.
There's nothing special about us; at least, no more than any other species. We have big brains, so what?
I realize this kind of rhetoric makes us feel better when we chide intelligent designers or want to alleviate our guilt but the fact is we are special. How many cities have dolphins, apes, and those crows built? How much literature have they written? Ever see a movie directed by Shamu? Check and mate!
Recognizing you meant "irony" the two aren't the same. The health care system is accessible to anyone as is. There are no public places where I can get emergency Metalica downloads in the middle of the night. FWIW, no one disputes that the poor have access to health care, rather that they don't have insurance. This is the both the crux and flaw of the universal health care argument.
Are people really coding this way? I mean, we know they are on Windows. But such thinking would (should) be anathema on OSS. "Hey, hardware will be faster so this bloat won't matter!" I can see where you realize technology has to be able to handle new features but masking bloat with CPU power and RAM is simply lazy, no!?
Hmmm...sure are a lot of rich Dems though, aren't there? We just give them a pass. They can tell us to bike to work and reduce our carbon footprint while they fly private jets and ride in SUV cavalcades.
Not to overplay the "Republicans are a bunch of old humorless farts" stereotype, but let's face it, Republicans aren't exactly Comedy Central's chief demographic in general (and they sure aren't the primary audience of "The Daily Show" or "The Colbert Report"). Even when conservatives do come on Stewart or Colbert, it's generally a very uncomfortable interview (polite applause from the audience, host trying desperately to think of something good to say).
Yeah, I wonder how many legmen got nervous when Al Capone wanted a sit-down? Stewart is a pretentious ass who looks down and mocks conservatives. Colbert does the same, just in character. Conservatives aren't invited to share views, they're invited as fodder for ridicule. Whether your a Dem or Repub, if you can't see that you're blind.
That's understandable. My original point is that many who would claim agnosticism or atheism are very evangelical about it to the point of being vehement. I see many threads where atheist will essentially troll and interject accusations of stupidity against theists. There are many highly intelligent theists just as there are highly intelligent atheists.
Wow! That's refreshing! Usually atheists get on here to evangelize atheism and ridicule religion when such a thread starts.
More OT, though, what difference does it make in this election? Neither candidate is exactly the pillar of scientific thought.
McCain isn't particularly computer savy. And I would think Obama's cult of personality would put off most geeks. Let's face it, it's uber-popular people like him that got all the chics we so longfully drooled over.
They've done it in the past. Despite their "we must be neutral" stance, they boycotted South Africa for one. And I believe made several other political statements in the past. As for hoping by competing in the Olympics these nations will just come around, it isn't working too well for capitalism. The U.S. thought that by doing business with China we could ease them towards democracy. That's working well...
Dude, you totally misunderstood my statement. I agree, the IOC should have NEVER awarded the games to China. My point was they seem as intent on keeping a good front as China.
Except that this isn't protecting a brand in the marketplace, though arguably Youtube "profits." I'm not sure this would hold up in court. The protesters aren't gaining anything monetarily. If satire is protected why shouldn't protesting?

Make that your thesis.

Brilliant!
Really? Yet, you won't post with a name or handle. So easy to bark at the big dog from behind the fence of anonymity.
I like ice cream.
Dude, I didn't realize you were personally involved.
Yeah, well you have to disagree with the fairtax because it's not on your teams agenda.
