in your late teens and early 20's, your brain will physiologically be more able to handle abstract concepts, and you will have to rely on concrete expressions less often.
And when your emotional state gets to the pre-teens age group, you will learn that a flame doesn't accomplish anything. Other than making you sound like an ass.
My point, which obviously you will require a map to understand, is that this person (Paris Trudeau) should not have been using 'soft' language like 'petty thieves' to refer to Phishers.
People that are not technologically inclined need to be reminded, constantly, that Phishers are hard-core criminals that are trying to steal your personal information in order to become wealthy at your expense. And, Phishers have been well-organized for years. Paris didn't emphasize what should have been emphasized for the average reader of CNN.com.
In short, there are thousands of people that read that article that will compare Phishers with Tony Soprano, instead of taking the time to protect themselves from what could happen.
"If you think of phishers initially as petty thieves, now they're more like an organized crime unit," said Paris Trudeau, senior product manager for Internet-security firm SurfControl.
Did I read that correctly?
A senior employee of an Internet Security firm used to think of Phishers as "petty thieves"? Maybe Paris Trudeau needs to find a new line of work.
They probably were available, they'd just have been very expensive.
Since the mission has probably cost billions of dollars, I doubt the expense would have been an issue. Size, OTOH, matters in this case. A camera that weighs too much would have probably not been able to make it to Titan.
It keeps the working masses entertained so they can't contemplate how sucky their lives are, which would lead to riots and revolt.
Totally OT, but what the hell: There are problems with that theory. In many cities here in the U.S., a winning sports team usually results in a riot to celebrate the championship (Hey, the Pistons won the NBA championship, let's burn down a few buildings!). Of course, in the World Cup (European Football/U.S. Soccer), a LOSING team sometimes leads to governments being overthrown (those bastards can't field a good team to represent our country, let's burn down a few buildings!).
In short, if sports are being used as population control, then THE MAN really has chosen a poor method of control.
Issue more debt? Seeing as I have heard that the President's early proposals have a cost of somewhere between 1 and 2 trillion dollars (I could be wrong on that figure--but it is a very large amount of money). And, the President is only talking about a limited "privatization". His plan is significantly smaller than yours.
Issuing such a large amount of debt is a very quick and easy way to increase interest rates to the point where the economy would go into a recession. You refer to some "pain", but, honestly, using debt to quickly move millions of people completely off of SS is, IMHO, completely crazy.
I don't know if I want to get into this discussion. It may not result in a good experience. I doubt we will get very far in having a 'religious war' on a public forum. However, even with my resignations, I'll bite.
Abortion. I am a strong supporter in the right of abortion. If you are not, please do not let us get into a pissing match on this issue.
Marriage of priests. Around 400AD, the church started down the path of having celibate priests. It took a few hundred more years, but finally, the church was able to impose the rule of celibacy for priests. It has never made any sense.
Homosexual rights. I believe the church is confusing "sexual preferences" with "moral standing". Then again, the church does something similar by insisting on a celibate priesthood. So, I guess that I should not be surprised.
The Catholic "ritual". The amount of 'ritual' that occurs in a Mass is amazing. Think about it, sit, stand, kneel, shake hands, priest call/congregation response, etc. Other than the priest, does anyone in attendance understand why each step of the ritual takes place? Does anyone wonder if Saint Paul was thinking of this complex ritual when he created Christianity in the decades immediately after the resurrection of Christ? Why does the church insist on continuing with what appears to be a series of yoga exercises when most people can't explain why they do them every week? At the minimum, I think the church should try to explain the ritual (I don't recall any church that I have attending offering classes on the ritual -- but I am not a regular attendee of church).
That's it. I could go on, but I would probably fill up a few pages.
They suffer the consequences of their inaction and/or ignorance?
Ok, let's assume we stop SS today. I am 38, so I would still have enough time (theoretically) to increase my nest egg.
What about those of us that are 55 or 60? If SS is stopped today, then many (if not most) of that age group is totally screwed. And, don't blame them, when they entered the workforce, they were told that SS would be there for them, so they counted on SS to at least give them some additional support, beyond what money they saved. Don't even mention 401k's. Those were not even discovered until the late 70s (my memory may be off on the extact date). 401k's didn't even become popular until the 1990's. Don't mention company pension plans, many pension plans (see airline industry) are going belly-up.
If we stop SS today, how do we take care of those that are within 10 years of retirement (given as many of them didn't have the time to build up a 401k and some of them may not have a company pension plan)? And, what about those from 10 to 20 years from retirement?
No particular reason. I haven't been a regular attendee of any church in almost two decades (weddings and funerals are my usual reasons for going to church).
My wife, who was educated in a Florida non-denominational Christian School, believes there are issues with Catholicism. I do not share her beliefs in that matter (although I am a bit more liberal than Catholic teaching would permit). To this date, neither of us are particularly religious (but we are not aetheist).
Ah, but the Earth is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Our moon is very large in comparison to the size of Earth. Viewed from afar, the Earth/Moon combination must appear to be more like a set of twin planets, instead of a planet/satellite combination. Saturns planets, while some may be large, appear to be very small in comparison to Saturn.
While none of us have experience in checking out other solar systems, I'll be willing to hypothesize that, in this galaxy, there are very few planet/satellite combinations that are very comparable in mass/size (as the Earth/Moon combo is).
Check back with me when we get to Alpha Centauri in 10,000 years.
In other news, NASA has decided that the next Saturn probe will have a sticker that says "Saturn revolves around the earth". A judge in Georgia will be reviewing the inevitable lawsuit.
this is only problably because this is a highly catholic community and they dont want their chilren believing otherwise.
As a former Catholic, I feel compelled to point out (for clarification purposes only) that the Catholic Church is not opposed to the theory of Evolution. It does question some of the "ape-to-human" points in the theory, but, from what I have read, that appears more to be from a lack of evidence than from some overall dogmatic opposition to humans evolving from apes -- check these out link and link.
Both links are very long articles that go into significant detail, but from the summaries I read, I interpret them to mean the Catholic Church is concerned where the human "soul" came from. They are not caught up in a creationistic point of view and they appear to be quite accepting in many of the finer points in evolution.
And, to go a step further, the Catholic Church, unlike some of the Evangalicals, does NOT believe in a literal interpretation of the bible.
The Grand Canyon formed rapidly, its geology indicates that.
By rapidly, do you mean 5 to 6 million years? Here is at least one discussion that reviews the geology of the Grand Canyon. And here is another, by the National Park Service. They use professional geologists to test their theories.
And, please, the next time you plan to rant about Noah's flood, please feel free to post with a user ID.
Modern Science uses the MODIFIED Scientific Method where a new first step has been added that check to see it what they are checking can take away their funding
And, you base this accusation on what? Your personal beliefs? Or, do you see it occur on a weekly/monthly basis during your time as a physicist, biochemist, biologist, or geologist?
o is Intelligent Design, which is gaining creedance as an alternative theory.
Really? Not in the scientific community. They use something called the "Scientific Method" to test and confirm hypotheses. As I recall, ID does not use the method.

You actually used the word "Paradigm"? Let me guess, you are a Change Management Consultant.
Gmail Invites? Surely, you can't be serious. Next thing you know, somebody will offer us Free iPods!
Really? Which culture?

Actually, most of that money is spent on prescription drugs...

He didn't say anything about women.
