White: hockey, baseball, football (offensive lineman, quarterback, kicker)
Black: basketball, football
Although to get real for a moment, I think it's interesting that hockey has by far the largest race discrepancy. Typically you think of basketball and football being dominated by blacks and it mostly is, but when you look at it there is a decent chunk of whites in both (perhaps not at the skill positions, but there are a lot of role players). When you come to hockey, however, it doesn't even average one per team. I understand the teams are smaller and it is a more expensive sport to get into, but I just find it interesting how the topic of race is brought up more readily in basketball and football and very infrequently (if ever) in hockey. Granted there was the recent banana incident, but that's not the kind of discussion I'm talking about. It seems like hockey gets mostly a free pass; I guess blacks just don't really give a fuck about it.
The problem is that there is not a single solution. Some people like the traditional menus, others like the ribbons, and still others like search; some people will like whatever comes next. But no matter what you do, somebody will call you an idiot. Even if one method is "better" than another in some way, people just don't want to change.
I'd be interested to know what provider and plan that is as well. I've got a dumb phone with T-Mobile pay as you go that costs me next to nothing; it would be nice to have a browser every now and then.
Islam is the religion of peace. In order to protect that peace, detractors of Islam must be brutally murdered. By advocating against the brutal murder of detractors of Islam, you are actually advocating against peace. Why do you hate peace, you warmongering fuck?
I'm not sure I follow you. First you say that analogies don't always apply to computers, then you make some terrible analogy with a toaster; were you trying to be ironic?
The problem with your analogy (and any analogy, really) is that computers are unique in their ability to execute arbitrary code against arbitrary data. The only way your analogy would make any sense at all would be if the slice of bread could control the behavior of the toaster; obviously it can't, but that idea is the entire premise behind the computer.
There will only be one. And it won't be what I would call the "rough cut", it'll be the "final cut". The other one will be some sort of interesting artifact that people will look at and say, "There was an earlier draft of this." The same thing happens with plays and earlier drafts of books. In essence, films never get finished, they get abandoned. At some point, you're dragged off the picture kicking and screaming while somebody says, "Okay, it's done." That isn't really the way it should work. Occasionally, [you can] go back and get your cut of the video out there, which I did on both American Graffiti and THX 1138; that's the place where it will live forever. So what ends up being important in my mind is what the DVD version is going to look like, because that's what everybody is going to remember. The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie.
...this sounds so fucking gay. It reminds me of a line from Super:
She sucked more dick than my brother Victor and you saw that faggot come in here once with a cum worm on his beard. He didn't even know it was there. How you don't know someone jizzed in your face?
I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the Bitcoin rush was over relatively early in its lifetime and that mining (in any meaningful capacity) was more-or-less infeasible at this point.
The previous administration released pictures of the bodies of Uday and Qusay Hussein as well as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi; somehow we managed to survive. I didn't think it was particularly tasteful (then or now), but there is precedent.
Ah, yes. The old "don't do anything to upset the crazies" defense. Maybe we should force all our women to wear burkas and institute Sharia law just to be on the safe side. I personally find the idea of releasing the photos unseemly or distasteful, but it also seems like it should be a matter of public record. I find it slightly disturbing that my government, funded by my tax dollars, can send a kill squad on a mission into a sovereign nation unannounced without any prior arrangements, kill some foreign nationals, and dump a body in the ocean seemingly without any oversight or accountability. But maybe that's just me.
Why does talk about excessiveness inevitably lead to whining about "dick measuring"? I bet somebody said the same thing years ago about dual monitors for workstations or high-end phones. Do you feel the same way about someone who buys a MacBook? I guess people can have nice things, but nothing too nice. I certainly wouldn't spend the money on this, but if somebody has the cash to burn what's the big deal?
Because like most of the open source movement, they don't value user feedback. The ridiculously tiny comment and journal entry boxes (as one example) can only be explained by malicious intent or gross incompetence. Either way, the situation is hopeless. CmdrTaco et al clearly just don't give a fuck.
There's nothing safe about space travel. But compared to price, relative safety will be easy to accomplish. Privatized space flight just touches the very edge of space and still costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Granted it's in its infancy, but I don't see "cheap" (deep) space flight on the roadmap any time soon. We were supposed to have flying cars and cold fusion by now. Personally I don't think humans will ever travel past Mars, let alone our solar system. And to be honest I'm not confident we'll even get to Mars. I think the science is there, but as usual politics stands in the way.

It is the politically correct term for nigger.

However, why does he just not release the originals?
He has made his intentions quite clear:

That's what I imagine these "parties" being like.
If you're God then you can see everything. Tell me, how many penises am I holding up right now?
I think the concern is less about politics and more about dumbing it down, fucking it up, or cancelling it. Have you seen network television lately?
Dude, Fringe just *barely* survived; if they don't move it out of Friday night then this season is going to be its last.
This. Is. SLASHDOT!

We have the nefarious AO rating here in the states. None of the console makers will license a game with such a rating, so it is a de facto ban.

Why is there no mass appeal to change it back?

Sony may be dicks for removing the feature, but that doesn't justify disrupting service for millions of people.
