There is something about yourself that you don't know. Something that you will deny even exists, until it's too late to do anything about it. It's the only reason you get up in the morning. The only reason you suffer the shitty job, the blood, the sweat and the tears. This is because you want people to know how good, attractive, generous, funny, wild and clever you really are. Fear or revere me, but please, think I'm special. We share an addiction. We're approval junkies. We're all in it for the slap on the back and the gold watch. The hip-hip-hoo-fuckin' rah. Look at the clever boy with the badge, polishing his trophy. Shine on you crazy diamond, because we're just monkeys wrapped in suits, begging for the approval of others. — Jake Green, Revolver (2005, Guy Richie)
And that is why there is Twitter.
The cause is personal insecurity in those types. A lack of a own set of values. Of a own reality. A kind of passivity that can be described of living your life in a walking daze.
The cure: End that state. Think for yourself. Build your own values, and stand behind them. Stop caring what others think. (Including me!) Interestingly this will create more real followers/fans, than any attention-grabbing other method ever would be able to.
There's one problem with your "argument": How in the world is Usenet (or any central [web-]site) safer, or in any way better?
Nope. They are not "moving on". It's the new people. The "September that never ended" kind of folks, who never heard of the reasons for real P2P software.
But they will go down the drain, as soon as the media industry will notice them. Because they got no decentralization or anything to protect them. One phone call, and they're done.
And then they will come begging on our doors again, to install the real thing for them.
I will happily continue to find my rare files on the eDonkey network and the big, popular ones via Torrent.
First they come up with Torrent, which is a step backward from even eDonkey, which itself got superseded by decentral networks and anonymous networks. Now they download from websites again?
NO! It's just the retards out there who never heard of real file sharing, and therefore can't imagine its advantages.
But they will soon learn... when rapidfail, megacrapload and easyfail are going to be targeted by the media industry at the exact weak spot that we solved long ago: They are centralized.
Nah. We rather fear dying. When you're dead, you don't care anymore. ^^
Suicide is harder than you might think. People survived headshots, drops from 20-story buildings, even drops from fighter planes, and the slow deaths are the worst. Because in every one of them, you risk getting "saved" and living your life as a drooling cripple, incapable of killing yourself, and making a ton of money for some "health" companies.
Well, I have long planned my death. I'm going to let someone build me a nice sharp metal cone for a head, order a parachute drop, but stuff the backpack with old newspapers or bedsheets. Then when I jump, I will point my head to the biggest asshole on the planet.
It's going to be a fun couple of minutes for an old man, and it will certainly make it to the newspapers. ^^
Dude! Always go for gold! Euros are no more cold hard cash than dollars, when, as soon as they give it to you, they simply devalue it, until it isn't worth the paper it is printed on...

And of course a huge spoiler!
I was under the impression, that "offsetHeight" was nonstandard and not recommended to be used anyway...

Schedule? You switch you server OFF?
What? You don't even have a separate computer for it??
Please turn in your geek card! Thanks! ;)
And... another step backwards... *great* :/

Making a parachute drop without the parachute, onto solid concrete, sounds like a pretty sure way for me.
And about financing it: Take a loan. It's not as if they will be able to bully you to pay it back. ;)
They're just jealous because they wouldn't have the balls to take the "easy" way, and let others control their entire life, living in a walking daze.
Seriously: How many people's will leave any trace of their existence that survives more than two or three generations?
And after that? They could as well never had existed.
(P.S.: I'm a bit insecure about my English today, so sorry for the possibly weird sentences.)

That's why I recommend this: Lasse Gjertsen — Det Ultimate Selvmord ;)

Tell that to the security expert in the turban...
"Speeding" tickets, as the logical next step in net-non-neutrality.
...I just wanna tell you, that you're actually pretty lonely out there, with that "we".
Doesn't include anyone I know.
But then again, I live in Germany, home of the perfectionists. ^^
I'd recommend beer. Someone made a calculation, where that actually would make you more in interest, tat your bank ever could.
But I guess, before the "recession", gold would have been the best bet. Went up like crazy now, for obvious reasons.
Uuum... did you ever hear of that futuristic new concept called "recycling"??
Uuum... if it did not survive the "heat" of the Moon, how did it survive the real heat of earth (athmosphere) and launch then...?
Smells fishy to me.
'when is a child is old enough for their own cell phone'
Apparently, that child was definitely not old enough... ^^
Maybe because the cat is what kills them... Has anyone ever thought about that?
Disney will let Marvel do what Marvel wants to do because Disney likes money.
You like money? I like money too!
You also like sex? Because then we should hang out...
when they first bought Vista
You forgot to search and replace this "they" by "we" in your copy-paste MS viral advertisement. ;P
(Yes, I am a soldier, 18th Airborne Corp, Ft Bragg, NC)
Stop bragging about it. :P
...because there is no more subjective scale than that! ;)

Or is it enough, to boot a normal JavaScript based virtual machine on a normal browser, to use this?
