If I had mod points, you'd be getting +1, Insightful from me. Unfortunatly though the best I can do is "good for you. At least someone isn't caught up in all that stupid "must marry, must breed" crap" (this after a long discussion on this very topic with a pregnant woman via irc who was nearly offended by my comments on the matter)
Naw, the point was that finding a mate decreases creative output because you're no longer looking to impress a mate. Doesn't matter what's between that mates' legs
and hey, with all those Xrays shooting at the nether regions of your children, you can be sure that they'll never have a little reduced creative output of their own
Yeah, we learned OF that algorithm in Posc215 last semester. Still to this day I don't understand it, and I think neither does Dr. Telford.
Seriously, wtf? We use the Westminster system (same as UK). You have your constituencies, each party (usually) runs a candidate in each constituency, and you vote for which candidate you have availiable. Simple. (Though we usually have majority governments, which are rare in Europe where they use proportional representation for the most part (% of votes = % of seats for the party) (with some variations if tensions exist in regards to geography)
During the 2000 election mess, Canada just happened to have an election. We found out our results about 15 hours after ballots were closed.
This isn't a troll about Florida, etc. but rather a comparison. America uses punch cards and fancy voting machines and all that stuff.
Canada, OTOH has a piece of paper. With some names on it, and circles next to the names. you put a mark (check, X, your initials, whatever) next to the person you want to vote for. If there's a mark in more than one (and not just a small pencil mark like a dot. Something that actually looks like you meant to vote for more than one person) or no marks at all, the vote is thrown out. Everything is counted by humans.
So, why is it that they're looking for new fancy ways to (screw up) voting, when countries like Canada managed to use circa 1868 technology and have a more efficient (based on 2k elections) system?
This thing's being advertized as a solution to not void the warranty... Now, how many kt133 boards are still in warranty in the first place, and with a non-ZIF socket, you're likely to bend the hell out of the pins, so that'd void the warranty more than a pencil to L1 bridges ever would
I was always offended that adcreep would come on to MY internet (my internet as in my country, not as in my car), so I made a point of avoiding banner ads completely. 10 years o/l, never clicked a banner ad once. Now I use moz, and "block images from this server" is my best friend.
See, that's the problem with natural rights theory.
What it basically boils down to (as Thomas Hobbes will attest to) is that the only natural right that exists is the right of the mighty (might makes right). If someone's stronger than you, they have the right, granted by nature, to do whatever they please to you.
Now, the political "rights" that people argue are "fundamental human rights" (such as free speech, freedom of the press, and occasionally the right to property) are actually just priveledges, granted to you by the mighty (in this case, the government)
Probably a Gigabyte board with an onboard SBLive 128, it's what I bought (for a $5 from the lower model with an AC97 chip. I bought this board for the very reason that it came with decent onboard sound)
My computer is:
* My stereo
* My DVD player
* My amature video editing deck
* My musical instrument ( midi keyboard )
In addition to the normal "computer" functions (internet, gaming, WP, etc.) That's the power of modern computers. They are by definition mulit-purpose.
Does this mean the totem pole ends with philosopy? w00t. My major rules. In your face, science guys.:)
Seriously though, it's a circle. Philosophy is just psych. Psych is just biology. Biology is just chemistry. Chemistry is just physics. Physics is just math. And math is just philosophy
I work like a dog for significantly less than 700$ a month. I can barely pay bills. If I liked my job though, if it were something I liked doing, I'd be more than happy to be making exactly what I do now.
You unamerican blasphemer! Don't you know that saving money hurts the economy? Now get out there and spend that cash! If you don't have any cash, get a loan, that helps the economy even more.
The fate of capitalism depends on you buying all the useless crap you can find (and don't need)! 3-blade razors and bottled water await you!

Nice idea, but it's still illegal to infringe on part of a copyrighted work. That's why TV ads have to pay for songs.

Great idea.

2500$ a month? Where? I'm staring at the BCIA chart right now, and 3 children, 2 parents under 65 with no disabilities get 401.06 a month. Total.
What? There's a shit shoveling opening?
Care to give me a fax number?

Yeah, the US dollar's really high. That said, I'm gonna buy more stuff off ebay right now.
