We bail you European & British Empire folks out of wars constantly. Than when we are fucking attacked you guys do this.
** nice of you to sit back and wait until it was in your best interests to help tho.
Do you really think you guys are free of this? We're the target cause we're prominent. If we don't stand strong. Guess what...for all your support of liberal ideas and thoughts, homosexual marriage, etc. It will be moot.
** You're the target because of your ultra agressive foreign policy. Not to mention you back a state that is DIRECTLY in conflict with Muslim interests. THEN DONT EXPECT THAT CONFLICT TO COME TO YOUR DOORSTEP?!
You want us to not defend ourselves or the right to be. Guess what...if we don't. It will be extremist fanatics killing every gay in Canada in the name of Allah. Destroying every bank, savings and loans. Forcing your women to wear excessive garments.
** You honestly think that if the Natzi like regime falls out of power that a MUSLIM govt will be put in place? Holy fuck, you are a sheep.
Man you don't get it...but you euro-minded people never have. Would you like to give Austria and Poland to NAZI Germany now or later?
*** Well, Nazi Germany exists today! IN AMERICA!!! YEE HAW.. Lie to the people, extort and control the people, wage private war FOR the people.
You in your dismal lack of understanding think this is a pride USA #1 issue. The irony is this....
The conservative segment of America is the one leading for the war, defense of American ideals, and so on. The irony, most of the conservatives tend to personally agree with the Muslim stances on homosexuality, banking, sexual licentiousness, etc. (The degenerate culture we export around the world that is the number one reason Osama attacked.) And the irony, is we are defending the rights of people like you to have the freedom to be things we do not believe in.
** the actual funny part is you BELIEVE what you are told.. perfect sheep... continue believing blind, like religion, because it will all end up the way you want. poor poor sheep.
Maybe we should let the extremists come to power...
Let me ask you this...what do you think would happen? who do you think would be the ones allowed to live? moral conservatives....or the supporters of homosexuality and non-traditional morals?
**Personally I dont think that North America would ever be "taken over" by muslim warriors. This is how the FEAR has taken you.. you actually believe this.
We're defending your asses...and you're to pompous and full of yourselves to realize it.
**YOU ARE DEFENDING YOUR FUCKING MONITARY INTERESTS SO DONT FUCKING PLAY THE BRAVE SOLDIER TO ME YOU FUCKING SHEEP! THE ONLY REASON YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DEFEND YOURSELVES IS BECAUSE OF YOUR BACKWARDS PROTECT OUR OWN GREEDY INSTERESTS VIEW OF MORAL SOCIETY. IF YOU EVER REALLY KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A BROTHER TO ANOTHER WORDLY BODY YOU WOULDNT BE SUCH A FUCKING CLOSED MINDED SHEEP AND ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN WORLD ISSUES, INSTEAD OF STEPPING IN AND TAKING OVER.
SIEGE HAIL BUSH
At 30 and I can say, as a canadian, that I will do everything in my power to make sure that, someday, the USA will see what a mistake they have made.
What a horrible thing that has happened. The sheep of america have been lead into another term of murder and lies.
This is the start of the end of the world. Two LARGE factions of religion fighting for domination of the planet.
I really hope that something happens to get bush out before the 4 years are over.
I give up, you people "F**Ked" up again, I guess USA #1!! means too much down there.
I sure hope that spyware is here to stay, I pay my way with this stuff. Hours spent on scans and bench time. tee hee.
Me thinks the creator of spy/malware is a computer grease monkey wanting for a union.
So listen to the, "University of Washington research this March published a moderate estimate of 5.1% PCs running spyware,", because it is true.
I dont think that would work. These "bots" are not actual bots, they are odds calculators. A human is still required to make the "click" to call raise or fold.
you will beat these bots.. I have played against them many a time and they are not "all that".
Yes, set to "tight" they are difficult to beat, however, they don't do well in 4-10 people tables.
I double my income by playing at party poker and I know there are bots in there. The problem with the bots is they play TOO tight. You can easily fool these things at the flop. 4th and 5th they calculate odds very well.
A good poker player either sees this type of player as a: a very tight good player or b: a bot.
If the poker sites could somehow fix this, I would be all for it, if not I will just continue playing IRL, where Poker should be played. With Scotch.
Well, as much as the fanboys want the origional it is his idea to change.
Hell, if he wanted to anything to the series it is his basic right to do so. If I were to create a song, then re-release it years later, with a different instrument here and there and a changed tempo, why would people care?
Yes, I understand the whole hearted viciously rabbid fanboy side of this, I love the origionals as much as anyone else. But to say he cant do it, is foolish.
That being said, Han shoots first, and the whole prequel idea was a mistake.
I fear no one....
I have had the guns pointed at me, the threats screamed at me and the fists thrown at me.
If you panic you are lost.
follow the Golden rule and you should come out unscathed. DONT PANIC.... much
I don't know if it is the logical side of my brain but whenever I have been in or witnessed an accident or medical emergency I seem to be the one not freaking out, crying, screaming, panicking etc.
Do people with a strong logical sense have the ability to deal with panic and pressure more so than the "other" people?
I agree whole heartedly. Any company that I have worked with in the past, that I KNOW was on the way out or in a far too long stagnant state, I took all my sickdays and vacation days to look for more work.
As for health problems - it is friday and my head hurts.
I dont know about the whole Western Cartoon culture.
I have been watching "Anime" since I was 4 when my Koren babysitter used to sit me down in front of Gatchaman and other long forgotten series of the late 70's.
I would tend to agree that anime itself is not Slashdot material, however, as geek culture it is probably the "art" of the culture.
There is quite a lot of crap anime out there and there are some films I would put on level with fine art.
What cartoons from North America would you recommend?
I have been watching and collecting for about 25 years now. The mindless crap aside (Dragon Ball, NinjaScroll etc...)
1. My Neighbour Totoro : Probably the movie I would like every child to see.
1. Akira : Probably the movies I would like every child to not see.
1. Nausicaa (whatever you want to call it)
These three are very closely tops....
2.Princess Mononoke - excellent film
3.Cowboy bebop the series, the movie was alright but the series is where it is at.
4. FLCL - a very nice piece of semi-modern japanese mixed art.
5. Ghost in the Shell - technically very nice and the story line is very good.
Most of what the North American eyes see are a "limited" version of the actual stories as Manga is the true story and the films are usually the mockup of that. Ottomos Akira is one of my favourite "comics" ever.
That being said I am waiting all the new releases from the masters of both Manga and Anime.
There are MANY films but I would say, if you don't know anime that well and would like to see some very nice classics.. the above are the way to go.
Windows does have major flaws. M$ does have bad practises. Windows is a definite security nightmare. Fortunately I have grown up with both ends of the spectrum, unfortunately I have to deal with both.
Since I have to support front end "workers" we use M$ product. Why? because they are used to it. They have it at home on their Dells and want to see it at work as well.
Most users have no idea about the "back end" of how computers work. So technically if a program sends mail, it sends mail, but it has to "look" the same as Outlook. If it doesnt look the same, it is different.
Dont even get me started on our production pods that need adobe this and that.
I deal with many of the Canadian Ministries and all I can say is...
Congrats to StarOffice, too bad it will be something else in 2-4 years.
I can not tell you how many times I have gone into a ministry (health, edu, trans, finance) and they are implementing a "new solution" to a "problem". I use M$ product in the front end because it is what my people are "used" to using. Something so much as a change in GUI and they will go crazy.
I would love nothing more than to implement OpenSource widely into my environment, I have tried to have users "try" different OpenSource offerings, however, they just don't get it. If it isnt their usual looking desktop forget it. Panic, fear and an overall stupidity overcome them.
"Where is word?", "well, you can use this program", "Is it word?", "no, but it is like word", "oh, can you install word?", "ugh"
Another issue I think will arise out of this is attachments. My company deals heavily in sales and procurement and without a common word processor document format, the government will spend more money on front end office support than if they had of bought into the devil.
If your average user actually knew how to use a computer properly M$ wouldn't have this grip. Train people on how to use a computer not how to use an appliance.
I hope this movie isn't hacked up as much as I feel it will be. Honestly, I don't know where they will end the movie.
Personally, for me my early teen years went, books, radio play, then BBC series, and I think THAT is the way it should be experienced.
How many people are afraid that this will be a stake in poor Douglas Adams grave?
I love the man.. liff and "last chance to see" are amazing as well, Dirk Gently is a god.
Anyhow.. who is deeply afraid of Disney?
We thought about quarantining Canada too, but then again, we need your hockey players (but your country doesn't have much use besides that).
wow.. almost as close-minded as the origional posters comment about eating snakes and cats...
"What exactly is your point? I'm sure vegeterians find you "icky" too for eating meat. There's nothing inherently "different" in the meat in snakes and cat - but your close-mindedness simply believes so."
I too must use the devil for my recording software. Currently I use Fast Trakker II, an Echo Gina24 and many Plugins for Soundforge.
Driver support is a major issue. I would use non MS software for Web servicing, however, I am used to IIS, although it is full of holes.
Mainly it is what I was brought up on.
Not to mention software overall. There just isnt enough in the Non MS world to make the move. Printer Support is another.
Slashdot Mirror
Work with Premiere, Dreamweaver, flash and photoshop to make short movies. Win prizes .. etc...
We bail you European & British Empire folks out of wars constantly. Than when we are fucking attacked you guys do this. .. Lie to the people, extort and control the people, wage private war FOR the people.
.. perfect sheep... continue believing blind, like religion, because it will all end up the way you want. poor poor sheep.

Just shy of a threat? lol .. ok .. here .. DONT BRING YOUR MONKEY UP HERE OR WE WILL KILL HIM... sound good?
Ungratefull Canadians? Ya, ok kiddo.
Invade us, bring it on you fucking sheep.
At 30 and I can say, as a canadian, that I will do everything in my power to make sure that, someday, the USA will see what a mistake they have made.

well, talking about poker, you play for a pot that the house skims off of. There aren't really payout odds.
Did you, by any chance, lose some cash this way? Bitter, Bitter ...
I dont think that would work. These "bots" are not actual bots, they are odds calculators. A human is still required to make the "click" to call raise or fold.
