Exactly. There is a reason for Godwin's Law. Those who compare actions with which they disagree to the vile actions of the Nazi's probably will not be able to put any argument in context, and so it is not worth it to have a conversation with them.
This is true. Before we went to Iraq I realized that since anti-war people were comparing Bush to Hitler and the pro-war people were comparing Saddam Hussein to Hitler then both sides must be wrong.
and on restart it gives the option to pick up where you left off).
I think this part needs to be bolded. This alone is one of the biggest reasons I use Opera (though certainly not the only one). If it crashes or you accidentally close it, it doesn't matter, you just open it again afterwards and everything is exactly how you left it. Similarly, if you close a tab you didn't mean to, you can just press CTRL-Z! It will bring back the page you closed, complete with its history.
he reason you're not seeing Honda Insights sold much is because they only have a 73 Horsepower Engine.
Yeah, but you're forgetting that the Insight has a curb weight of only 1850lbs. It is still a little underpowered, but it's really not that bad as a 73hp engine would lead you to believe. Honestly I think the reason the Insight has never been particularly popular is that it's not a very practical car. Sure, there are a lot of cool things about it, but in the end, it's a two-seater car with basically no cargo space. The Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius are closer to the size most people want (not too big, but big enough) and are only ~$2K more.
Yeah, but you have to average the worst case scenario with the best case scenario. If you do that, you get 56.25%. Another couple percentage points and you've got yourself a passing grade!
Plus, they're probably grading on a curve anyways, so I think it's a decent web platform.
I agree, I also read about this over a month ago in the Wall Street Journal (it's like the Java Developer's Journal, but with less code, a book section and bigger IBM ads).
Now I know that this article was put out because the settlement was finalized, but still, this is something that people have known about for several weeks.
That's actually a command you can use to compile FreeBSD for yourself.
I'm not sure if that was the parent's joke or not, but whether it was or not, I'm sure there are some linux-only folk on here that wouldn't have gotten that.
Um, can't you just kill yourself with the C02 then?
Yes, but the reason people kill themselves with CO is because CO will cause you to go to sleep and then die peacefully, whereas CO2 will make you cough and asphyxiate.
Speaking from near-total ignorance, I'm guessing no. Slander/libel is a tort, while copyright infringement is a criminal case. I've never heard of insurance that would defend you against prosecution for criminal acts. In fact, I'd argue that such insurance would be a bad thing, since it would make people more likely to commit crimes.
As I said, though, this opinion is straight from my butt.
As I understand, only certain types of copyright infringement are considered criminal, mostly limited to infringement which is profited upon (i.e. selling MP3s, selling bootlegs, etc.) and P2P file sharing wouldn't qualify as being criminal copyright infringement. Any suit brought upon you for using Kazaa or Limewire or whatever the kids are using today would be be a civil case.
As for insurance that would protect against criminal acts, I think that idea is just silly because, well, who would buy it besides criminals? If only criminals bought the insurance then the insurance companies will always have to pay out!
Come on, I've seen them decrypt files and hard drives in a matter of minutes on 24. What are the pommy police up to, maybe they need to start watching it for tips
Yeah, that technology is only available in America. They don't have that type of tech in the UK, obviously.
No, no, terrorists are just trying to kill us because they're evil, there's no reason they do it, it's just their evil muslim way. Didn't you get the memo?
The price is steep but just think of how much you spend on papers and cigarettes in a year and you will come up with a similar number even if you are moderate user and smoker.
Cigarettes and papers? What a waste of time and money. Loose cigarette tobacco is cheaper than a pack of cigarettes and comes with papers. Where I live (Massachusetts) a pack of cigarette is ~$5 and rolling papers are $2-3. You can get a pouch of cheap rolling tobacco for good tobacco like American Spirit for Loose tobacco is cheaper and you don't have to waste time doing anything silly like breaking up cigarettes just to roll them back up.
Sorry, dude, but you, your credit unions, and your friends are dopes. Visa's own website tells merchants to confiscate unsigned cards, including ones that are signed "ASK FOR ID". I hope one of them follows up some time.
You sir, have never worked retail. I'd hate to see what hell my life would become if I started confiscating unsigned cards and cards signed "ASK FOR ID", as I easily see a dozen of these every day. I have enough trouble with customers already, I don't need to be picking fights with them by taking their credit cards.
More personal consequence (or at least a more immediately noticable personal consequence). If a voting machine isn't counting your vote correctly, the wrong guy might get elected. If the breathalyzer you use incorrectly measures your blood-alcohol content, then you'll have to pay a big fine, maybe lose your license, maybe go to jail, etc.
Even if the person that's incorrectly elected does an absolutely awful job compared to your guy, things are likely, for the most part, going to stay about the same for you.
The question is supposed to be an addition problem, that is, "SEND" is one number, "MORE" is another number and "MONEY" is a third, with each letter representing a digit.
You might grow more brain cells, but all of these new cells will be dedicated to designing more complicated bongs and imagining conspiracies to unravel, so the net functional gain is minimal.

Seems like that would get the keyboard a little slobbery though.

They're gonna find out the hard way that I'm not a pussy if they don't start treating us software people better.
They don't understand. I could come up with a program that could rip that place off big time.

First of all it needs a nice fin or two on it to make it more aerodynamic, we don't want this thing to be dragging. Second it needs some more LEDs.

Dude, just do what I do and line your existing hats and headware with aluminum.
Maybe skipping class to go smoke pot isn't such a waste of time after all...

AMD / Intel Hybrid Motherboard, eh? So what, it gets awesome gas mileage or something?
