Iran used to be a very good example of a democratic secular government, until the Brits asked the US to do a coup d'etat there. Pakistan used to be a good example of a country making progress on that front of religion and tolerance, that is until the United States pressured them to close down their secular schools through their "structural program". Iraq may have been a ruthless dictatorship, but it also used to be a good example of a secular country in the Middle East.
"I made my mistake at university, gave one of my first cds to a kid across the hall."
So what else do you do to market your music? Do you give live perfomances? Do you have it play on the radio? Do you have a kiosk at your local music store? Do you give out small truncated demo versions?
And really, if noone else was going to know enough about your music to make an informed buying decision or if noone was familiar with your music, how can you be sure those guys would have bought your music and how would you know if you even suffered a loss?
If I were you, I'd cultivate this following, I'd build a database of fans, I'd find other ways to get money out of those fans, and I'd use those fans as social proof for generating better broader opportunities.
The above example was not reaching at all. In Israel, terrorists have for some time studied the actions of first responders to determine how to disrupt them and exacerbate the damage of an attack.
In Palestine as well. That's why the water and the electricity are cut off, huge ditches are dug, roads are blocked off, and the ambulances are shot at.
"All studies conducted show that over 80% of journalists report themselves as Democrats."
Sure, but if you've worked for a corporation of any size, I think you'll agree with me that the bulk of the bullshit, in the memos that you produced, in the emails that you sent out, and in the products that you created, that the bulk of it was mostly a reflection of what the power structure in your corporation wanted -- it certainly wasn't a reflection of what YOU wanted.
And the funny thing is. Corporate bias is neither liberal, nor is it conservative. Corporate bias is only pro-corporation. And that means a corporation will peddle sex when it can make money off of it and it will peddle fear and death when it can make money off of it. The only reason we keep on coming back to this liberal vs. conservative false dichotomy is because this pro-corporation interest keeps on reframing our discussions back into this fruitless debate. This debate is a red herring, nothing else.
There is something about your infraction that I don't understand. Did you take the right turn on red, or not? Was the green arrow a light or was it just a sign? And assuming it was a light, how can you capture the incident in a picture? Did you take the picture just at the moment you made the turn, or did you take the picture after the green arrow light turned green? Where did this happen? In the US?
"Ah, so it's okay to show 3-year-old children pictures of some of the more gruesome scenes from D-Day, napalmed villages in Vietnam, or any number of massacres in Africa in the last 30 years, because it's real, we're being open, and they need to know the consequences of violence?"
If it saves them from signing up with the military when they're 17 years old and prevents them from committing those same atrocities, then I guess it's worth it. You seem be on to something.
"Shall I teach my kids about sex by having intercourse with my wife in their presence?
There are such things as age-appropriateness, and healthy presentation."
Why, at what age do you think it's appropriate to have sex with your wife in their presence? In any case, Janet Jackson wasn't having sex. She showed a boob, that's all. She made fun of a taboo. She didn't make fun of sex. For most of us who have been exposed to other cultures and old paintings, a lonely bare boob is nothing special.
"Boobs are a part of sex, women get sexual pleasure from them. Therefore it is something associtated with intamacey, not for everyone. "
I've got news for you. This same area is also an erogenous zone for men. In fact, in both genders, we have many many erogenous zones that you're probably not even aware of.
Babies don't have a problem with breast. Teenagers don't have a problem with breast. Only some adults have problems with breast. Next time something like this happens again, and it will happen again. Don't make a big deal out of it. If you don't make a big deal out of it, the babies won't cry, and the teenagers won't feel threatened. It will be as if nothing as happened, which is the way nature intended it to be.
Since I switched to FireFox, the thing that I like the most about it is the plugin that allows you to highlight text on a page, right click it, and then search this string on Google (and/or whatever search engines or dictionaries you want).
Nowadays, using autofill is just too much work for me.
Why do Clusty when Vivisimo.com was already working just fine? If I want Google, I'll use Google, not an imitation-Google. And vice versa, if I want Vivisimo, which is useful sometimes, I'll simply use Vivisimo. I certainly don't need a cross-breed of the two.
"By international consent, space is demilitarized (at least until the pod people attack us, or whatever). I doubt the US can afford breaking any more treaties."
And I doubt that the dissenters can afford to lose their satellites.
If anything, that international consent will be used to coax countries into signing non-orbiting weapon proliferation treaties and only the countries that have already well-established space programs will be allowed to launch future satellites without direct supervision.
Would this study have appeared four months ago, and not just four days ago, I would have been moderately impressed.
I say "moderately", because we already have a number of studies predicting all kinds of phenomenas "caused by global warming", and by sheer luck of the draw one of those studies is bound to eventually hit pay dirt.
(and I'm considering laziness [i.e. I was too lazy to wait the 45 seconds for the computer to boot up in the morning, so I left it on all night] as a choice).
People don't keep their computers on because of lazyness. They keep them on because it makes them last longer. It's the change in temperatures that expands and contracts electronic parts and it's the expanding and the contracting of those parts that make those computers malfunction.
Keep those computers turned on and make those computers last longer. Keep those computers turned off and save electricity during the hours for which we are already generating excess electricity most of which will never be stored.
Then make him switch browsers when he needs to. IE is not perfect either. Aside from security, FireFox is a lot easier when the print is too small for those of us who are over 30.
"...they should (but may not) know the most about how to protect Windows from spyware."
The problem is not one of technical competence, it is one of interest. Microsoft has always been interested in making its products remote-controlware enabled. There is something tantalizing and exciting about controlling the machines of your customers. This is why, that even thought Microsoft is trailing Apache in Web Server installations by a factor of two, its Microsoft IIS is still responsible for the bulk of web server security breaches worldwide.
The percentage doesn't matter. A charity can be anything these days -- A lobbying group, an antitrust legal action association, a scholarship fund for employees, a coushy job for a wife, etc.
"...yet each time you launch Internet Explorer - it redirects you to some spyware/ad-ware web site and starts trying to install a bunch of garbage via Active-X!"
There is your problem. You're still using Internet Explorer!
Install FireBird as his default browser and install ThunderBird as his default mail client. That, coupled with Ad-Aware, Spybot, and up-to-date firewall/antivirus software, should do the trick.

Try RFID Implants. You can get the sensors at radio shack and the implants themselves are real cheap if you go through your veterinarian.
Not for the zebra-like referees. Now you see them. Now you don't.

That's probably why they're keeping their prediction very vague and not even referencing a specific timeline.
