Good old CmdrTaco and the poster (Albert) thought it'd be more effective to not tell you
You know this how exactly? An alternative could be that they did notify Lulu, Lulu didn't respond, so Taco & Albert thought they'd draw some attention to it.
This should be nodded way the hell up. One of the main reasons you Mercans are having such a tough time in Iraq and Afghanistan is that you never learned the lessons of the last land war you fought in Asia. It's within living memory. Those who forget history etc...
Actually, arguably it is in some jurisdictions. Here in the UK for example there is no separation of Church and State. In effect that means that the marriage contract, whether conducted in a Church or registry office, is still being sanctioned by the Church. Which makes it a pact before ${diety} whether you like it or not.
I'm one of the younger managers at a large multinational. Were you, a "hopefullintern", wearing a TPB t-shirt at my office I'd think twice about your professionalism.
What you do on your own time is your own business - but imho your support of TPB is probably best not demonstrated at your place of business, espcaially when you work for a major IT co!
Don't get me wrong - I support TPB and I've got the t-shirt too - but there's a time & a place.
And then theere's the "old growth forest" issue. Sure, manageed plantations of new growth wood are sustainable & tick lots of "eco" boxes but when you start buldozing "old growth" forests - habitatbs for many, many more species than "managed plantations", you're in a differet game.
I keep/home on my SSD but symlink everything big (eg Music or Videos sub-sdirecgtories) out to a magnetic disk. Having/home on the SSD helps speed things up for me - all those kde4 dot files that get loaded...

Ok so a little off-topic but if you think you're having a heart attack you should not have to think twice about seeking medical advice - cost should not hold you back.
One of the advantages of socialised health care I guess...
Nicholas - you're a smarter guy than I'll ever be but on this you're wrong. It's the hardware - it's sexy. It's thin, almost all screen, and all touch.
You are wrong. All of those visceral experiences are still available to you. Want to fight? Go to a bar & pick a fight. Want excitement, drive fast. What's changed is not that these things are not available to you but that the society in which you live (for good or bad) has increasingly attached negative consequences to them. So what's really happened is that you can't have those experiences without the risk of negative consequences. What videos/games etc... offer you is the ability to "experience" those things without the negative consequences. The "problem" (and I use he term advisedly) with violent games/videos is the danger that habit of "no consquences" violent actions in-game will slip into violent action IRL.
If I'm immortal, what need do I have for hot green alien nymphomaniac bikini chicks?
So what you're saying is that if not for perpetuating your genes, you cannot think of a reason to have hot green alien nymphomaniac bikini chicks around?
I know this is./ but dude - I find your lack of imagination disturbing....
Looking at that picture it seems pretty clear to me that the person in the middle is not the same person as on the sides. Just thought it was interesting...

now we can splice banana genes into pigs overnight just because we think it should be easier to get the rind off bacon...
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter!

Marriage is not... blood pact before ${diety}

w00t - my favourite forum gets a mention on /.!
I don't have mod points today but If you, dear reader, are so blessed, please up- Mod this post for having a modicum of literary value. Best, awl
Not really, no.
You're wrong, and the "Long Tail" shows us that. People aer still willing to pay for all *sorts* of IP, a long time after it was created.
You think that the fact that you have no desire to work there means it's ok to act unprofessionally?

Good for a start...
Anyone got a mirror? I'm trying to ready this at work and WenSense is blocking it (swimsuits or something...)

Anyone else love the counterpoint of "For chrissakes, you're American, right?" and "Instead, do the adult thing"?
Fair enough and my bad - didn't realise I was browsing at +3 when I posted. Apologies.
I thought that pliot sounded familiar. looks like this ripped it off
This is just flat out wrong - typing "1+1" into Bing comes back with "Calculation: 1 + 1 = 2"
