Well, don't you think he SHOULD be able to wear his gold jewelry out in public? Why should he be afraid to so?
You're argument sounds rather similar to blaming a young woman out on the town for the night, wearing a short skirt and blaming her for getting sexually assaulted.
That said, I think your cousin was unwise, but I think calling him 'fucking stupid' puts the focus and blame on him, instead of the pieces of excrement who assaulted and robbed him -- because they couldn't bother to earn the money for themselves and would rather prey on people.
Point is this -- you don't truly NEED to call Joe do you, do you? No. The only call you ever might NEED to make is a 911 call.
And that's the problem, using running late, or I 'really need to call so and so', or not knowing where you're going as an excuse for being distracted, and putting the rest of us at risk.
I drive my young daughter to school every morning (and I live in city with a lot of traffic/gridlock), and it pisses me off to no fucking end the number of people fucking around with their phone for some 'important' thing. The only important thing you NEED to do when driving is having your fucking hands on the wheel and your eyes AND attention on the road. Period, justify or excuse all you want, but you and I both know that's the truth.
If you can't get you shit together in time in the morning, then get up 30 minutes earlier, this so called 'pressure' you talk about is self-induced. Try getting a 5 year old ready for school, I get up 1.5 hrs before I need to leave so that I have everything ready and I can leave on time and be focused on driving.
HIPAA applies to doctors, insurance companies etc in their handling of your medical information -- people can volunteer their own personal medical information, nothing to do with HIPAA. Now, why anyone would trust anything like that to FB.... I had no idea.
I live in a city with a good team with a decent fan base -- BUT we usually hear on the local news about the looming blackout threat most weekends.
Personally, I'm like 'Fine, whatever... no better way to lose MORE fans than by preventing your local supporters from seeing the game'.
Plus, maybe I'm a cheapo, but I consider the tickets, parking, food, etc. just too d-mn expensive to make it worth seeing it live. If they made the games more affordable for a family, maybe they'd have better luck filling seats.
[As an aside, I'm a bit disillusioned with the NFL these days, especially protecting some crapastic people like Rice & Peterson among others, so I don't really care if the NFL struggles or not]
Good summary, the whistle blower is EXACTLY the kind of person we, the citizens, need at the Fed, and as it turns out, she is the type of employee who will have the shortest career at the Fed. It sucks.
Listened to segment on NPR this morning, what I got out of it was the Fed is afraid of the big investment banks, when it should be the other way around. I was honestly a bit shocked by how timid and afraid the Fed people were, it was embarrassing.
... seriously, sent the texting/chatting group into a lane that walks them right into traffic. That way, you address China's population problem, and you remove lots of idiots from the genepool (hopefully), or at least take out some of those who endanger the rest of us (I can only imagine how those types drive...). The one's who don't walk into traffic survive their Darwinism test.
This is not a racist rant, but a realistic look at some of the issues Jackson might want to address within the black community first before taking his usual stance of blaming everyone else:
72% of black kids born out of wedlock (compared to 17% for Asians). The Rev [cough] Jackson himself had an affair & fathered a child with another woman. Double the unemployment rates of whites (roughly 5.4 to 11.5% as of last month) Why doesn't he talk about the negative affects of hip-hop culture (glorifying violence, promoting misogynistic attitudes to an extreme, promotes wealth through any (often illegal) means) On average, African American twelfth-grade students read at the same level as white eighth-grade students. 54% of African Americans graduate from high school, compared to more than three quarters of white and Asian students. [http://www.pbs.org/wnet/tavissmiley/tsr/too-important-to-fail/fact-sheet-outcomes-for-young-black-men/] 50% of the murders in the country are committed by black men, who comprise only 6% of the total US population. NEVER talks about, but will spend endless hours race baiting over a single case like Martin. Look at the murder rate in Chicago, his home town (and the perps)
As a liberal myself, Jackson's race baiting and racial profiteering sickens me -- he only uses his racial politics to advance his own ego and fatten his wallet. He hasn't been a civil rights leader in decades in my opinion, he's a self serving jerk who actually promotes racism, a dependence culture and victim mentality. He's done more damage to the black community than good, but is such a smooth talker, his fans don't see it.
- broadcast my location to anyone - store any personal information (or at least allow me to have total control over what is stored) - be hackable - require me to charge it like a cellphone, fuck that, I want it to last for a year+ like a regular watch - require the presence of my phone for its functionality - act like a Dick Tracy gadget, there's enough asshats talking out loud via Blueooth et. al.
Honestly I'm not interested in a 'smart' watch, to me I see it being mainly just another piece of tech that people will be f*cking with when they should be watching the road, or making eye contact while talking to the person in front of them.
Tell that to people in Gitmo, etc., who have NEVER been to court after how many years? Slap on the words 'terrorism' or 'national security' and you'll be lucky if you ever get your day in court.
Love the childish condescending tone. Some of us actually like to OWN what we buy. If I like a movie I will get in DVD/blu-ray because I don't have to worry about the cloud, licensing, proprietary this or that, some clause on the 37th page on the EULA etc. Shockers... I even still buy CDs for music for the same reason.
I was thinking the same thing -- never known anyone getting life for aggravated assault, even for attempted murder. Seems like a terribly written law that could be very easily be broadly applied and abused by UK authorities.
Anyone from the UK care to comment. Because I never thought of the UK as being draconian in their sentencing (if anything, a little light on some crimes).
What's the sentencing range for serious crimes like rape, aggravated assault, attempted murder, or causing serious bodily harm, etc? I mean do people get life for causing serious injury in the UK? I doubt it, so why does a football hooligan not get life for beating someone severely, but equivalently hurting someone with a computer merits life? Sounds like the UK it taking a lead from the US (and that's not a compliment)
I didn't say the adults lives weren't valuable, so don't put words into my mouth. There is NO way an infant or toddler could make ANY choice or cause ANY action that could in any way be a threat to McVeigh. Hence my pointing them out. It's not a prop or news-speak, sorry you're so cynical.
While I don't in any sense condone ANYTHING he did, he could try to argue adults can make choices or actions that in some whacky way he could attempt to rationalize as a threat -- my point of bringing up the kids, is that they had ZERO, absolutely ZERO to do with whatever beef he had in his twisted mind.
I absolutely detest the state of things right now, the NSA/Snowden revelations, corporations/lobbyists running the gov't, rights being ignored, etc. BUT that said, TImothy McVeigh was a murderer... including 18 children:
Peachlyn Bradley, 3, Oklahoma City Gabreon D.L. Bruce, 3 months, Oklahoma City Ashley Megan Eckles, 4, Guthrie Baylee Almon, 1, Oklahoma City Danielle Nicole Bell, 15 months, Oklahoma City Zachary Taylor Chavez, 3, Oklahoma City Anthony Christopher Cooper II, 2, Moore Antonio Ansara Cooper Jr., 6 months, Midwest City Aaron M. Coverdale, 5 1/2, Oklahoma City Elijah S. Coverdale, 2 1/2, Oklahoma City Jaci Rae Coyne, 14 months, Moore Taylor Santoi Eaves, 8 months, Midwest City Tevin D'Aundrae Garrett, 16 months, Midwest City Kevin "Lee" Gottshall II, 6 months, Norman Blake Ryan Kennedy, 1 1/2, Amber Dominique Ravae (Johnson)-London, 2, Oklahoma City Chase Dalton Smith, 3, Oklahoma City Colton Wade Smith, 2, Oklahoma City
Many people are angry and frustrated, but please read those names and ages and tell me again about his 'heroism'?
There's a huge waste of time and money imo. No friend I've gamed with ever really gave a flying frack about fully voice acted dialogs. Though I only beta tested, since I didn't like the game, Elder Scrolls online for example -- there was SO much pointless voice acting, with well-known to famous actors (like John Cleese). How much money did they spend on that? Most people just click through thinking 'yeah... yeah... give me the #$%! quest already'. They apparently spent a small fortune developing it, and after all that, I'd still just rather play Oblivion or Skyrim.
I also think many game companies have become obsessed with 'oh shiney!' tech and forget about basic stuff, like a good, even [gasp] original storyline -- instead of the cliched, overused, derivative crap that seems to make up 90% of the titles. I've been playing a lot more games from smaller studios, that seems to be where the real innovation in game design is imo. And no, I don't mean the tech, I mean the story, the interfaces, the character concepts, etc.

... THEN I'd be interested in the article.
Just like to say, well done sir -- parenthood alone is hard work, let alone with any added issues. Hats off to you.
"Wide coverage and wall penetration?" Dude, I think the fetish chat room is over there --->
Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't injection attacks a non-issue with parameterized stored procs?
I'm unclear on what their API is doing, but it can't just allowing people to insert anything in a query can it?
Had some good tunes, and they spawned The Fine Young Cannibals and General Public

"My point above was that it is very possible to intelligently and carefully use a cellphone and drive"
And yet study after study after study contradict that assertion, but let me guess -- those don't apply to you, of course not...
Point is this -- you don't truly NEED to call Joe do you, do you? No. The only call you ever might NEED to make is a 911 call.
