"Let's think about it this way. Let's just say for example if "Australia" comes out tomorrow and announce that the US is a great terrorist nation and a part of the "Axis of Badpeople" and that at some point later on, the US has to be dealt accordingly. Do you think the US is going to sit back and wait until "Australia" attacks? No, the US will attack "Australia" preemptively because you pretty much know a battle is coming, why wait for the enemy to attack you.
Actually, yes we would wait for them to attack. That's what the US always does. Australia could scream and shout and pass pamphlets on the "Evils of the US" to their hearts content. But as soon as they start killing our people and blowing up our stuff, they get taken down.
We wouldn't be dumb about it; we'd be watching them for any sign of hostility. But to think we'd nuke a country, or even kill many of their people (military or civilian) by their mere posturing is lunacy.
You should read up on China's Internet restrictions.
All web based email is banned. You just can't go to the sites. Many political sites are banned. Many TOPICS are banned. They're on the cutting edge of scanning email for inappropriate words. Which is amazing considering email/internet is packet based.
Why do you think there was the big crack down on cyber-cafes? Did they ever let them open up again?
Woah! Nice site! You should link your combos to some prices though.
I don't have any disposable income at this time, but you're bookmarked.
The picture where you're hanging the hammer is impressive. You might want to go with that. I'd perfer to use that instead of using pegboard to hold up my tools.
Yep! I worked my way though college as an AS/400 operator! You know what that gets me? ZILCH!
Oh wait, there is a job in the area looking for AS/400 operators...who speak French or Spanish fluently.
Oh, and I got the internship. Paying internship. I was the only programmer there and did a lot of work. Results? NOTHING!
People who are hiring don't care if you've done an internship; they don't care if you worked your way though college, they don't care if God himself sent you down to apply for that job.
If you don't have X years experience doing Y, your resume goes into the cirular file.
Why would we have to wait? Couldn't we use those new ion engines to send a probe there?
I thought the only reason to send a probe to Pluto now is because it's more efficent to do so, but if the probe is powered all the way there, then who cares?
If I had a hammer, I'd treat you like a nail. No, that's the wrong way to deal with a human object.
Correct. I'm glad you agree with me.
There are plenty of things that are hard to get that are not worth a cent. You won't find rhubidium earings at a pawn shop anytime soon. I can let you think of cruder examples. Think!
Ok. Looked up the price of, and here is the correct spelling, rubidium.

Looks valuable to me. Logic only goes so far. You'll have to head out into the real world to back up your statements.
They have a snoball's chance of ever having a normal reciprical relationship as they have been trained to be incapable of one themsleves.
Wow, I guess all those couples who rent porn are just kidding themselves.
Your spelling is atrocious and seeing how you drug in some silly comment about the RIAA makes me believe you're a troll. Strawman? Sheesh.
How do you not treat people like objects? They are firmly planted in the three dimensions and respond like all other objects.
What is this new class you've come up with?
Precious metal and stones are valuable cause they're hard to get. Take a basic economics course. Actually, this is too basic for Economics 101. Head back to grade school.
Porn represents sex. You can add some other stuff in there, but someone looking at two sweaty naked people going at it and say "Obviously the extension of a male dominated society blah blah blah" is looking for things that just aren't there.

So, you're upset that in the effort to blow up a deep underground bunker...they might miss and wipe out a city somewhere?
Yes, that's how it works. It's everyone else that's insane, you're perfectly normal.

I can't be the only one here that cringes every time "Great leap forward" and "China" are mentioned together.

Not only will they fuck with you, but they'll be laughing at you while they're doing it.
Name ONE thing that the geeks have done to show their power. Like: Stop email all over the US for a day.
You guys that think geeks are a political group, you aren't. You're nothing in the world until you're willing to use actions to back up your words.

Any ideas on how to get a metal board board?
Actually, I've been waiting for the next book for quite a while now.
I just assumed the author had died before finishing the series.
45 seconds of battery charge? I guess they designed it so it wouldn't run out of power during the commericals to sell the thing.

I want to know HOW they are doing this. Are they using PIIIs with 64GB of memory?
Well of course, these ARE artists that work for the movie industry.
Appearance and style over substance.
How much money is being tossed into Social Security. Which "Will not work" in the near future?

That's because people like you are exactly what's wanted in IT now.
In my area there are no beginning jobs in IT. They all require 3 years of experience in at least 4 different disciplines.
Some of them seem to read, "We fired our IT department, and we need a guy who can do it all."
One self declared "Entry Level" job wanted 4 years of experience!
The reason I can't find an IT job is that I don't have years of experience. I graduated last year and have been scrounging up temp jobs to get by.
The market is getting better, but I don't know when/if the entry-level jobs are coming back.
10*40*52 != 11-12k a year.
I'm sorry, why ISN'T it legal to install software on more than one machine, or to run it off a server?
After all, the software doesn't care how many machines it's installed on. And you bought it to be installed on your machines.
Oh! The SOFTWARE companies don't want you to do this. Well. I guess since they are the law of the land, that makes it illegal.
"Also "Soon" means we won't see actual chips until oh, say 2005, so don't hold your breath or anything."
Do you think that's air you're breathing?
Yeah, eventually I caved in and bought mine one. They love email.
Some people can't afford to go to court for ANY reason.
You might want to append an "Out of our solar System" to that.
Sounds like fractal compression to me.
"...but is living forever... or at least until the brain wears out a good thing?"
I dunno. Lets find out.
