Silly users. They forgot that the purchase price didn't include things to make the product work without getting ruined. I give the same advice to car owners. "Go get a bunch of gray primer and cover your new car in it. Then you don't need to worry about scratches." Most are delighted to do this.
Forget all the bullshit explanations. Here's the deal about theft of service -- I will be simple: Is electricity something we normally have to pay for? Yes. If you don't pay, do you still continue to get power, or does the company shut it off for non-payment? They shut it off. Is the poster, among the dumbest people on all of slashdot, trying to take something that should be paid for? Yes. Is it theft of service? Yes.
You don't need to tell me about it. You had ketchup chip technology long before anyone else. I wrote to the Old Dutch people in Winnipeg asking them to sell the ketchup chip here in the states. They said no.
I loved this fucking game. I'd get a shitload of bullets and spend hours laying waste to the buffalos. I remember having a fucking zoo's worth of dead things splattered across the screen, and it would be like "You shot 2,585 pounds of meat, but you can only carry 100 lb back to the wagon." This pissed me off. I remember thinking, "That shit is just going to sit there. There's nothing that's going to touch it. I killed all the fucking animals. Why can't I hike back and pick up the rest?"
I played it both on the Apple II, and the fancy late version. But not on the Mac. I grew up in South Dakota, so I know what you mean about having this part of the essential curriculum. I asked some kids the other day if they still played Oregon Trail. They looked at me like I was doing a fucking robbery. They'd never heard of it. But everyone my age remembers fondly that game.
Being from Minnesota, you probably saw that duck hunting game where you could only shoot the specific kind of ducks. Do you recall that? I was never any good at it. I'd just shoot anything that flew, whether it was legal or not.
But fucking oregon trail. I still remember Jeb dying of dysentery and being pissed at my family, so I'd ford the 25' deep river and kill all the fuckers. That was great.
Jesus man. I always thought Canada was like a third world country, but to realize that this Qlink stuff is the best you have for internet really brings the truth home. Forget Katrina. Where do I send my old clothes and canned food? The Royal Bank of Oh Canada?
I'm glad to see you take a break from passing out bibles in the street and doing christian radio fundraisings. If the unhealthy mind is the only one that needs to get stoned, I think we should create a category of Weird Ass Fuckers who Ought to Get Stoned. I add you to the list as #1.
You, sir, have the honor of being the ONLY person who had enough sense to point out what seemed to be fairly fucking obvious. Nicknames? On legal documents? This causes problems?
Many forms have a note "print your name EXACTLY as it appears on your social security card." Nobody really gives a shit if you go by tinkerbell is your real name is Tim. But for the love of god, at least just fill out forms correctly and you'll be fine.
Changing one's name isn't a terribly complicated issue, either.
I guess I don't see what the big deal is. I'm not kidding. Yeah IE is a serious motherfucking liability, but why don't people in IT look at it as job security? It's security, just in a totally fucked up way.
It was like what I saw on COPS tonight. This crack whore flagged down a cop in Ft. Worth and told him that some woman ripped her off and wouldn't give her $20.
The cop asks, why would she have your $20? She said, she ripped me off an gave me a bag of plaster. The cop says, where you trying to buy drugs? She says, yes, and she stole my money and wouldn't give me the crack. The cop asks, are you a prostitute? No, she say, I just do crack.
So the cop walks over the house in question and asks the owner if she sells crack. Heavens no, not in front of my baby, she says. I'm a prostitute, not a drug dealer. The drug dealers lived across the street and moved. I just am a prostitute. I care about my kids.
The cop then walks back over to the crack whore and tells her not to come back, that she will be arrested if she does. She says, I have $2. I'm going to get a cup of coffee.
Or perhaps the creator of our minds created such things knowing that at some time in the future, more capacity would be used than now.
But really, you fault the brain for being complicated. Look at its fault tolerance. 75+ years of constant use. Adaptability to any environment either socially, geographically, or physically that it encounters, and interoperability with millions of other unique minds with relative ease.
Well, truth be told, look at my username. It's kind of hard to be viewed as something other than a troll when a person picks such an offensive and crude thing. But yeah, you make a good point. God forbid if science contradicts something we wax misty over.
we will never be able to travel faster than light, we'll never harness energy bigger than a hydrogen bomb, we'll never really travel far beyond the Solar system, travel back in time etc.
Well, optimism doesn't drive research, unfortunately. It's really not about preference, but science. The two are unrelated really. I don't like the fact that I can't eat buckets of spicy cheese and drink high life bottles without getting like an obsese shit, but it's fact.
I think you'll have to come to terms with reality.
Well, I have to imagine that they have the ability to screen people out. They do ask people what their question is before letting them into the call queue. Yes, I am in fact blaming them for not only the exceptionally shitty callers, but the fact that the show more or less sucks.
No kidding. The show has really gone to shit in the past few years. It used to be fairly informative, but now all the questions are, "What kind of car should I get for the prom? I have to take a trip to Florida. We need a new car. What's good for two dogs, three kids, and a pound of chicken?"
You're right about the laughing. They *think* they're funny. Incompetent and unaware is what I say.
Isn't it the job of the doctors to explain this? Isn't there something called "informed consent" that exists, in both a legal and ethical sense, that would stipulate that the person suggesting the operation make it clear to the patient exactly the risks and benefits of either approach?
I'd be asking them, not a bunch of people whose advice is worth less that what you paid for it. I'd ask them because that's their job.

Before we did all that, I'd for sure do two women. You can do that I bet at least 2000 times with 4.1 million.

Which body part should I cover with tinfoil to maximize its potential?

Damn canada!
This fucking rocks. I love this game.

Yours is more Black sounding. I am a honkey.

Got one too. What a bunch of shit man,.
That's to be found guilty. To be arrested, however, is another deal entirely. You could be guilty of nothing and still be arrested.
Jesus christ, this is like some fucking swear convention.
your nick is funny. but mine is the Real Deal.

License fees. That's why. This shit is EXPENSIVE.
