    And of course the irony is that if proper family planning was part of every person's education the instances of abortion would plummet.

    It's not about abortions, it's about controlling women.

    WoW Glider works by copying the entire game into memory.

    That can't be right. At most it has to be accessing memory allocated to the client?

    No offense, but attitudes like that will kill this country. The "good enough" or "at least we're better than X" line of thought leads us into a race to 2nd from the bottom.

    It's worse than that...

    Your router is constantly saying "Here I am! Connect to me! I am OPEN! I am AVAILABLE!"

    This attempt at legislation actually goes against the default router settings provided by every single manufacturer. It attempts to genuinely legislate that up is down, that open is closed. That something similar passed in the UK only shows us that fools are not limited to our shores.

  7. Re:Eh, I don't know about that on Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software? · · Score: 1

    A few points...

    1) there just isn't a reasonably priced mac tower yet.
    2) buying OEM memory from any pc manufacturer is always a ripoff, but mac is probably the worst offender.
    3) my last job consisted of rotating our thousand+ computers through their respective service departments
              - Dell : horrible quality of parts. Everything would fail.
              - Gateway: not as bad as dell, but if you got a bad batch you were screwed.
              - Apple: hardware failure was rare. when it happened customer support through apple was either an amazing and simple process or an absolute nightmare.
    4) nothing beats a macbook pro

    Thats right, TV isn't mandatory. Nor is there a Minimum Daily Requirement of viewing time. It's like I told a deliberate untruth in order to make a point.

    At first I was annoyed that like four people and two mods totally missed that joke, but then I realized that each of you had absolutely no problem picturing a person who thought TV was mandatory, and I got scared.

    You have to admit that it's harder for parents now that at least a basic cable subscription has been federally mandated. It's just a matter of making sure that the MDR of 3 hours viewing takes place during a family-friendly block of time.

    Terrorists are not killing to kill. They want their way and are using it as a mechanism to show "Anybody, any time. You are not safe. We will have our way."

    How people can have more sympathy for people randomly shelling unarmed non-combatants than for their victims is something I really don't want to understand.

    I read through your post twice, the second time with a metaphorical red pen in my hand. Don't blame others for your failure to communicate. You might in fact have a valid point rattling around your noggin somewhere, but it got lost when you tried to pin it down. Your username says it better than I could.

    You know, a lot of people work hard every day to keep our country safe, educated, clothed, fed, etc... but it's only the military who feel like they've got to pat themselves on the back for it. Yes, you might take a bullet in the distant future, but go talk to a firefighter or a teacher about sacrifice before you start demanding respect.

    A direct vote would be the worse thing possible. This would ensure that the largely concentrates population centers would forever dictate to the other states

    I think this idea of critical thinking skills is over blown. [...] In a free world, you have a right to not have a say in who governs you.

  21. Re:Discovery rules in Civil vs. Criminal cases? on Should RIAA Investigators Have To Disclose Evidence? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That's not what's going on here. It's more along the lines of "This person accused me of something bad, so let me start with determining the credibility of their evidence, the chain of custody for that evidence, and the error rate for the methods they used to collect said evidence"

    Comparing this to the "slutty girl" defense is inaccurate. The defense is challenging the methods that MediaSentry used to collect the evidence. Although it would be interesting to know how many of the subpoenas issued to ISPs have been responded to with "That IP address was not assigned to a subscriber at time in question" as it would directly relate to the error rate of MediaSentry's methods.

    Out of mod points but what a great question. "not fit for service" could be read as "diametrically opposed to the practices and philosophies of the military". Is the military really the best branch of government to handle this problem?
