"Citizens will DDoS the whole network! Criminals will know about stuff before the cops do! Everyone should use the Verizon/Sprint/AT&T 3G network as its more secure!"
Pagers definitely have not gone, they just have become unpopular among consumers as two-way messaging replaced it. Hospitals and the US Government use one-way pagers still a lot. Our company was apparently taken over by another larger one, http://www.usamobility.com/
Sorry, I meant to say that I went and tried finding books about Islam, THEN went and lived with actual Muslims. The books were completely and utterly wrong. I'm talking about wrong to the point where they deserved to be recalled, and if the same glaring and hurtful mistakes were made about, Jewish people for example, there would be an outcry.
No I didn't fall into the fallacy, but I failed to describe my experience properly
Ah yes, that passage has stayed with me over the years.
'But the thing is, boys donâ(TM)t like girls who are too smart.â Sarahâ(TM)s eyebrows went up. âoeIs that so?â 'Well, thatâ(TM)s what everybody saysâ¦â 'Like who?â 'Like my mom.â 'Uh-huh. And she probably knows what sheâ(TM)s talking about.â 'I donâ(TM)t know, Kelly admitted. âoeMy mom only dates jerks, actually.â 'So she could be wrong?â Sarah asked, glancing up at Kelly as she tied her laces. 'I guess.â 'Well, in my experience, some men like smart women, and some donâ(TM)t. Itâ(TM)s like everything else in the world.â She stood up. âoeYou know about George Schaller?â 'Sure. He studied pandas.â 'Right. Pandas, and before that, snow leopards and lions and gorillas. Heâ(TM)s the most important animal researcher in the twentieth century-and you know how he works?â Kelly shook her head. 'Before he goes into the field, George reads everything thatâ(TM)s ever been written about the animal heâ(TM)s going to study. Popular books, newspaper accounts, scientific papers, everything. Then he goes out and observes the animal for himself. And you know what he usually finds?â She shook her head, not trusting herself to speak. 'That nearly everything thatâ(TM)s been written or said is wrong. Like the gorilla. George studied mountain gorillas ten years before Dian Fossey ever thought of it. And he found that what was believed about gorillas was exaggerated, or misunderstood, or just plain fantasy-like the idea that you couldnâ(TM)t take women on gorilla expeditions, because the gorillas would rape them. Wrong. Everything⦠just⦠wrong.â Sarah finished tying her boots and stood. 'So, Kelly, even at your young age, thereâ(TM)s something you might as well learn now. All your life people will tell you things. And most of the time, probably ninety-five percent of the time, what they tell you will be wrong.â Kelly said nothing. She felt oddly disheartened to hear this. 'Itâ(TM)s a fact of life,â Sarah said. âoeHuman beings are just stuffed full of misinformation. So itâ(TM)s hard to know who to believe. I know how you feel.â
Thatâ(TM)s a passage from The Lost World, by Michael Crichton. I read it when I was 11, and this lesson stayed in my mind for years. Eventually, with Americans going berserk with panic over Muslims after 9/11, I somehow remembered this moral out of nowhere. I actually went to the library and tried finding books about Islam. In retrospect, nearly everything I learned about Islam and Muslims was exaggerated, or misunderstood, or just plain fantasy. It made it all the more frustrating to explain to people, since they refused to part with those notions.
He wasn't really charged for the blasphemy, it's because he was very critical of the government and some of their corrupt friends, and they found something useful to charge him with.
"Kambakhsh's journalist brother, Yaqoub Ibrahimi, has said he believes the blasphemy charges were a pretext and that Ibrahimi was the authorities' real target because of articles he wrote about abuses by local warlords and militias."
Yeah, when one side cheats under the laws of war, its ok for the US to cheat also?
Dropping a bomb on a home in a residential area is a war crime. Why didnt the US send a special forces team instead to snatch the guy out and not kill the neighbors with a blast?
The US hasn't intentionally killed civilians, but then again a bull doesn't intentionally destroy china in a china-shop. The end result is that more Iraqi civilians died since 2003 than Americans did on 9/11. Add to the fact that it does intentionally torture and intentionally support dictators who DO kill civilians, and the US is looking less innocent and, at best case incompetent, and worst case oppressive.
The US blamed Iran for the Halabja massacre at the time.
Also, the chemical stockpiles were destroyed after Gulf War I. There's ample photos of weapons inspectors with bulldozers destroying the munitions. The inspectors when ordered back in did not find WMDs. The scientists also agreed no WMDs, even expats and those brought out of the country.
The inconvenient truth is that Saddam knew he would be killed if he attacked America, a sort of MAD scenario. Suddenly the media painted him as some irrational man willing to commit suicide. Never happened either.
He's not saying one is better than the other, but he doesn't want to see the distro fragment along these lines.
What if someone wanted to make a Republican edition? Of course, if that happens you'll be almost guaranteed to see a Democrat edition, followed by a green party edition etc. He doesn't deem this a valid distro (and its a lame idea to begin with), so he's putting a stop to this bad idea.
That makes me curious, is there any way to remote wipe an iPhone without being part of the Enterprise program? (You can wipe it on the iPhone settings menu itself already)
As for #1, its not a matter of paying extra (since I'm not aware of any other iPhone+tethering plans), but more an issue of bandwith. Apparently Apple is loath to allow bandwidth-hogs as apps unless they are on WiFi, because they could overload the T1? connection on the 3G cell towers, making the rest of the users suffer.
It's not who they prefer, faction X might actually prefer the glory of saying they assassinated a high-value American and all the press attention it gets them. They probably don't like either's policies.
In those conditions racism, sexism, and etc. don't fly.
I disagree. You have conservatives boycotting things like Dunkin Donuts and liberals boycotting something brands like Walmart. Chick-fil-A explicitly refuses to hire non-Christians, imagine if there was no government policy to press them.
For example, I believe that if airlines could get away with it, they'd segregate Arabs from planes etc. Heck, the Fox News and Ann Coulter crowd would love it (Coulter once said she'd love an airline like that).
If there was no government restrictions, how much sexual harrassment would go on unchecked?

Oh they will surely FUD the whole thing

Why is it called a nuclear family? Because its basically unstable!

Hey, I love Grisham and Crichton novels. They're entertaining, and if I want reality, I open the New York Times.
I dunno, the doctor is sorta jovial and flippant, while Patrick Stewart plays more serious parts.
Think of it this way, Patrick Stewart can play the doctor about as well as he could play James Bond. I didn't like the Roger Moore humor too much

They beat a confession out of him

It's known as the "Flesh and Blood Defense." It's complete rubbish, but those who never graduated high school may find it realistic. Backstory
It's not islamic. Kuwait is a dictatorship. Other more Islamic countries haven't blocked youtube.

You do realize firmware 2.0 upgrade shows you the last key you pressed on the password screen, right? This problem is gone as of July.
"The LHC should answer one very simple question: What is mass?"
I've known since I was in middle school. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. There, and I didn't even need £5bn.
Doesn't the UK have some sort of right against self-incrimination in testimony? Is it in the unwritten constitution?

Yeah, locking someone up for stabbing is ridiculous; the real problem is the manufacture of knives
