TFA mentions "Mr. Pain" as one of the 3D PS3 games. I hope they mean PAIN, a PS3-only game. PAIN and Burnout Paradise are the two reasons I purchased a PS3. I already have a 120Hz TV, so I guess it"s just the glasses and the 3D version of the game?
Following this line of reasoning, you'd be perfectly fine with cameras being placed inside your home, right? After all, they are only being placed there to ensure you're not breaking the law.
And what if we round of all the Japanese-Americans just to make sure that if any of them are spies, they can't reveal secrets to Imperial Japan and risk lives? We did that as a law enforcement measure. Surely safety and saving lives is worth a little inconvenience to somebody else, right?
Going back to the war, those people made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live free; I think the bare minimum we can do is sacrifice a few seconds to help someone else feel safe.
And I would agree if that's what it actually accomplished, but it's so manipulated by politicians and the police that I believe those same people who made the ultimate sacrifice would be angry that the people in charge act the way they do. The behavior of many of our political leaders and even some of the police is shameful. To support or excuse that behavior is shameful.
If our leaders walked the walk and led by example, I believe that more citizens would follow suit.
Last I checked, legal permission to drive a car on public roads was a privilege, not a right. Given that you get a drivers license, it seems hard to believe that driving at (insert speed limit here) + 1 mph is suddenly a "Right."
I see this argument a lot. People think that they should be allowed to do anything they want, so long as THEY don't think it will hurt someone else.
No, they are angry that speed limits are manipulated arbitrarily by people who are supposed to be working in our best interests (but are not) for reasons that have nothing to do with highway safety or saving lives and then have the gall to tell us to STFU when we complain about their abuses.
In Virginia Beach, VA within the past few years several people have become intoxicated and walked in front of cars (with drivers who had not broken any laws that contributed to the accident; one dumbass kid fled the scene afterwards). The "public outcry" fueled in part by the father of one of the drunken victims who is a close friend of several members on city council "solved" the problem by reducing the speed limit from 45 to 35 over the objections of the traffic engineers.The proponents are using the "if we save one life", "people need to slow down anyway", "it's just a small inconvenience for the people who live there" and "it's tragic that young people with futures have died" arguments and ignored valid engineering data. That's so sad.
So now more people will be getting speeding tickets, the drunks will still be dying and what has been accomplished? Nothing is safer; the problem still exists.
And jumping off a cliff isn't dangerous until you hit the ground.
Flawed analogy. You are confused by the "jump off a cliff" cliche. Please stay after class to clean the erasers.
Jumping off a cliff carries a high certainty of death, speeding does not. The overwhelming majority of people who exceed the posted speed limit do not die nor do they kill someone else. The majority of people who jump off a cliff will die. So they're not examples of the same thing.
This is Slashdot; use a car analogy next time.
Just because it's not immediately damaging to exceed the speed limit doesn't mean the consequences aren't much greater if and when you do hit someone (or ram a guardrail) at that greatly increased speed.
That's a good argument for making the speed limit ZERO, which is much, much safer.
All games of "chance" and "skill" (like carnival games) are deliberately skewed in favor of the owner, otherwise there would be no profit in owning them. They are meant for entertainment of the customers, not their retirement plan. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
If the police are not doing anything wrong, what do they have to be afraid of?
The terrible abuses in the Camden PD would never have come to light had it not been for video surveillance.
Do we really want to condone criminal behavior by the police? Can a "good" cop justify hiding or ignoring criminal behavior on the part of police officers? Can any elected official? Any judge? If they do, they are just co-conspirators.
I hope one of our doctorly lords fucks up your med prescriptions next time you're in recovery - see how much you appreciate the attentiveness of us "weenie slaves" then. And, yes, go suck your own cock, you humourless, anonymous waste of breathing space.
Not a people person, are you? Your patients would get better care from Ted Bundy than from you.
OK, here's your argument. I've found Linux support via http://wwww.google.com/linux and the Linux community much faster and more satisfactory than any Microsoft or official Google support I ever persevered long enough to receive.
Google locked me out of GMail because I was logging in while traveling (too many different IP addresses). It wasn't clear (to me) what was happening because I received no error messages and the page for PIN entry was malfunctioning. A message to the appropriate help address (after I finally found it) resulted in a response after a month. I actually found the solution earlier by Googling the problem and by that time the PIN page was fixed. YMMV
As I have learned from trying to tell people what words/phrases actually mean....it's a waste of time. If someone wants to say that 'average' and 'median' mean the same thing, then it does (but only in their mind). Don't even get me started on 'begs the question'...
Stalin and Hitler were not all that far to the left/right but they were both about the same level of authoritarian. go look them up on the chart. Its not a left/right false dialemma its a 2D system not a 1D spectrum; the best model is 2D and we only hurt ourselves trying to cram a 1D line into a 2D plane without losing a great deal of IMPORTANT information.
Non-paranoid schizophentic-ish English translation, please?
Actually, Tucker was accused of fraud. He was operating on a shoe-string, compared to the Big 3, and some minor problems with his display model were blown way out of proportion. Then he was accused of insider stock trading by the SEC, which was never proven even though they tried him more than once. It was dirty politics all the way as his major political opponent, who pushed for all the investigations, was a Senator from Michigan with close ties to the Big 3.

why don't you use the email address that he provides (in clear) to send him your inspiring missive?
I think the actual procedure is like this:

I'd love a little honesty and openess from my politicians, but maybe that's expecting too much.
Will never happen.
And our leaders never wonder why we don't trust or respect them or our institutions.

That said, the owners could be less greedy.
Were you running those tests with System.Web.Hand 3.5.0.0 enabled?
Using hand-crafted code.

Yup. I refuse to call a doctor "doctor" I call them by their first name.
My physicians, dentists, osteopaths and chiropractors refer to me as "Mr."; I refer to them as "Dr.". Well, almost all.
One internist called me by my first name the first time we met, I replied "Not feeling good today, Bob." Bob was cool with that.
And interfering with medical care is OK with you? Please get your panties in a bunch in another line of work.
Much simpler to abandon security-plagued Facebook, the Windows 98 of social networking sites (myspace would be the Windows 95 equivalent).
So is there a safe link to the bananna-eating girl pic? Just asking as a public service since it seems a lot of people want to see it.
I still don't get why people think this "cloud" thing is a step forward

Shouldn't the script begin with

and I needed to install dnspython as a dependency.
