Yes, as a matter of fact, we here at GlobalEverythingCo have determined that your Father's Day phone call was in the same swarm as people who pirated a Justin Beiber video.
You are hereby notified that you have been served.
And you are a pedantic troll "Intellectual theft" is a typo. Money is an idea and it can be stolen. A bike is an idea and it can be stolen. In fact if something were not an idea, like say a rock, then it could not be stolen. The only things which can be stolen are ideas.
I've just conducted my own study while reading this and have concluded that while mental illness can coexist with genius, it can also coexist with utter stupidity.
Exactly. It'll ILLEGAL to sell codeine in the US without acetaminophen in it. Not because it makes it work better - if that were the case there would simply be a choice.
No, it's illegal to make codeine without acetaminophen because they want a toxin in there to prevent recreational use of codeine. You can't use it to get super high because now it will kill you.
Not that I'm against this necessarily, but it is interesting to note that these drugs which are currently prescription-only and which do have side-effects might be available over the counter, along with aceteminophen (Tylenol) which causes approx 400 deaths in the US per year, which can be purchased by children......but the feds just closed the medical cannabis dispensary nearest me despite it having won awards from the city and being backed by the Chamber of Commerce, having tight security, etc... because although it's over 600 feet from a school (state law) at 960 feet it's less than 1000 feet from a school for the blind by 40 feet... so it had to be shut or the landlord would face criminal charges and asset seizure.
There's a Walgreens on the corner. Sells tylenol, etc. Also a whole isle of candy bars for the kids.
It's also important where you put them. CFLs cannot take a lot of on/off cycles.
Even on the packages they tell you they aren't appropriate for use in places where you only turn the light on for a moment or two. Bathrooms, closets, garages, etc.
This is going off topic, but if you hate cable companies and their greedy shitty ways (as I do...) then why do you have a favorite team?
I was an NFL fan but got tired of all of the political propaganda (it's there.) But mostly I just decided that I didn't need to support a millionaire or billionaire who just got taxpayers to build him a $250 million dollar stadium with tax funds so that the taxpayers that bought it and gave it to him can pay him $150 to get IN to their stadium to watch a game.
What a racket.
I guess there are some exceptions (Green Bay Packers perhaps?)
Sports teams have been turned into a brand just as much as Pepsi is, and their games are their commercials.
I LIKED football and that's what turned me off, the game is ruined.
and their new layout sucks. Totally. No colors in labels, screen spacing all wasted, hard to look at. Meanwhile hotmail HAS improved.
I still prefer gmail, but the difference has narrowed mostly because of gmail's steps backwards into "Apple iTunes ripoff "I'm stupid like your grandma" design concepts. They fucked up something great and made it merely OK.
Hotmail's still sucks in many ways, but their inbox os SO much easier to clean out now, that single improvement makes hotmail easier in many ways to use than gmail.
If gmail were to ditch the shitty "everything has to be big and rounded and words have to disappear and be replaced by vague non-descriptive icons" blech, AND institute cleaning like hotmail,. they'd be miles ahead.
Now... if either took the invention of usenet provider Easynews, and allowed a "ranges" feature, they would be golden. If you use easynews, you know what I mean.
If not, it works like this - take a page of 300 items each with individual selection boxes. Click one near then top, one lower, another lower still, and then one more. Click "select ranges"
You get the whole range between your 1st and 2nd selection selected, items afterward are unselected until your NEXT selection, and those between that and the end selection are selected.
Hard to explain, but it's fucking BRILLIANT. No other site I've seen uses that, and it's fucking GREAT.
The laws of physics do not change, and it requires an enormous amount of energy and resources and time to travel between stars. Tech can't change the speed of light and the laws of inertia. So we have just this solar system for the next thousand years regardless.
It's all well and good to send out colonists when we can, but that's a LONG way off, and you have to remember the most important thing - the vast majority of humans will ALWAYS be on earth.
The distances are too far for us to spread in any real sense, unless physics is overturned.
So any MAJOR huge planet-wide effort to send a colony will invariably be a vanity project for the rich while victimizing the masses, as I've said, UNLESS it's a very incremental self-sustaining approach.
Which is a LONG way off. No reason not to build the tech, in smallsih private startups like these guys, and great to fund basic research/exploration through government.
But beyond that is a pipe dream for a LONG LONG while.
Want to terraform Mars? First start here and learn to terraform EARTH.
I see the same thing in the comments of people who respond to deteriorating conditions on earth by proclaiming that we must colonize space.
"Get us off this rock!" they say.
Yeah. Right. Spend ungodly amounts of money and earth's resources and generate pollution in the process of getting a handful of over-privileged people off the earth at the expense of the billions who are left behind in the mess to rot.
Then fly off to a planet with no ecosystem, and generate one from scratch with our great knowledge of ecosystems, great enough apparently to create a sustaining biosphere from nothing, but NOT great enough to have allowed us to successfully manage a perfectly-working one we already had without fucking it up.
These are the dreams and excuses of a bunch of people with too much self-regard and their heads in the clouds.
And I say this as a rabid space exploration supporter.

Of course they are! Soldiers are the least dangerous people around!
Name ONE person who has ever been harmed by a soldier!

Until we get rid of binary voting and instead have choices among many variables, we're screwed.
What defines war?
Under our constitution, a declaration of such by Congress. That alone.
I hope someday we isolate the male hormone that causes sexism.

I kind of think that the copyright on this centuries-old village has probably expired.

When I worked at a company that had industrial espionage issues to deal with, you had to use your badge to get doors to unlock for every section.
I still had my electronic badge kicking around the house for years after I quit. This was back when they were expensive, too.
Don't assume like that. There are people into ANY kind of porn, whether high definition or high density.
Also, if you happen to notice a block of bricks overhead, jump up and hit it with your head.
It has tangible assets, its PRODUCT: its users.

It's fine with me if my DNA is used to help research. It's NOT fine with me if my DNA is used to get a patent.
I tell everyone "leave me alone, what do I look like, a tech support volunteer?"

They long ago cut their business from me by 100%, and that's where it will stay.

They just can't take so many short cycles.
It cost me $180 to add a memory chip to upgrade my first MP3 player from 96m to 125m.

Already have that, it's better than the default, but not as good as the original.
