Rights are not granted to us by the government. We grant rights to the government.
Any attempt to reverse this will, in effect, start a bloodbath that I would be happy to participate in to preserve what is rightfully ours. Even if some of those rights are things I do not agree with. They are ours and ours alone. The government is merely a keeper for the majority and it's sole obligation is for our collective protection and our collective benefit, long and short term.
How about moving the "polls" you have on the right side to the top, followed by the "older stuff" then the "YRO/INTERVIEWS kind of sections and remove the login from the right side of the page entirely.
the left side having the login (for Jason Porritt's entry) could include the actual form to put your name/password (which I see is currently not expanded by default, THANK YOU!)
these are only suggestions, but I hate having to log in to view it as I think it should (for better viewing pleasure...? it's just my opinion anyhow).
I'm sure we could Fsck Walmart, however fsck -f won't work because Walmart isn't exactly a clean organization, nor would fsck -l. I mean Walmarts spawn like fucking cockroaches. -q wouldn't work because I'm sure if we tried to scan the executives who dismounted from the organization we'd find some money laundering or other financial scam going on.
I'm not entirely sure fsck would even work for the organization. We'd have more luck nuking them from high orbit.
I have tested TeXShop for OS X found here: http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/ and I really enjoy it. You can use it to write in (La)TeX without having to use Terminal.app and can have it show the output (in pdf) at a given moment if you desire to "see" what it would look like.
I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars - but thats' only because I haven't been exposed to other Mac native LaTeX programs. I would encourage everyone to try it out.
The law will supposedly protect people from unwarranted hackers or virus attacks...
Aside from laws being merely an extension of a socially acceptable psychological deterrent with provisions for those we deem "law enforcers" (which should have a more describing name of their true nature), laws of this type really do nothing.
That and the fact that Microsoft has helped to write it is a step in the right direction, one of being guided by a technologically aware firm, but I don't think MS should be the ones to write it given their history.
Why should we have to concern ourselves with another company tells in terms of how we do business in our company? Remind me again... Oh that's right, the 400lb gorilla is why.
Eh.. You seem to have something lodged far up your ass. This is a U.S. centered/stationed/hosted site to begin with so it will be U.S. centric. We get a few news things about other countries and that's not a big deal. Don't make life harder for yourself by bitching about other's bitching.
You could always host your own slashdot.co.uk if you wanted to but.. *OOPS* a domain squatter is already there. QUIT yer bitchin.
I agree. OS X is a more comfortable user experience (OS X XP? hehe). But why does windows has such a problem with it's eye candy compared to os x? I'm currently running an iBook 600MHz with 640MB ram. If I tried to do the same with XP (and I have recently) on a system of the same specs, it's really sluggish. Default installs for both all the way. Changing XP's look back to classic really doesn't solve much of the problem.
I'm no apple fan boy by any stretch of the imagination, but computers are for work - to me at least. I don't need that damned yellow notification popping up above the clock or whatever the hell makes XP interrupt me while I'm working. Apple's mantra of 'it just works' does just what it says. "works"
XP for gaming or the rare application that doesn't have an equal on OS X. OS X for everything else. Even.Net programming.
Fringe? That's hardly so. These are in fact the religions that state such beliefs that I mentioned above and are considered "mainstream" for lack of a better world. People on the other hand, sometimes don't conform to their religion - which generally would give said religion a bad image.
I agree. It's not an equivalent. Just a way to express how some people can feel about such things and by using a powerful subset of imagery people can conjure within their minds, they'll be more apt to relate one experience and transpose it upon another. This is done solely for the basis of emotional impact on one set of illustrations where the person had none before by using another example that they can in some manor understand, even to a finite degree.
As for the part of consensual sex and death/murder of someone being close to the same... that's not for me to force on other people. But there are religious and cultural stigmas or taboos if you will, that do take premarital sex as second to the murdering of someone else. It's about how highly they regard sexuality as a more pure form of expression of love and how it's something people don't want to let cloud their minds.
Then again, I'm not familiar with all of these religions or cultures but I have heard of them.
So why don't they enable the chip by default and have them reference the manual once they set it up. Oh wait, parents aren't parents but stewards over the little bastards they feel obligated to feed and clothe, eh? So much for raising children:P
Agreed... the part about not being offended isn't in the constitution. But in my opinion this definitely goes against the decency laws that the FCC has in place. I swear I saw some nipples in there as well and in my opinion this isn't something that should be on TV.
Regardless of the fact that it happens in real life where such things happen at parties, I don't think it's necessary to show everyone the gory (depicted) details. Just as an example, and it's the only one I can think of but to illustrate a point I'll use it. Have you ever really seen someone get killed? In real life or on video? I can tell you I have and it's not a pretty sight. It's raw and definitely has an emotional tug to it. In video it's more of a complete stun when it happen, you just can't explain it. If you ever see it in person, most people go into some form of shock immediately especially if they're not expecting it. they turn the corner and bam, you watch a couple of guys empty a clip into someone and you just stand there as if something has completely siezed your will to move.
Talking about orgys. To me it's the same thing. Yes they happen and sexuality is a part of us, that's not in debate. (insert liberal rhetoric here) But the point I'm making deals with decades of research into human development and maturity. Most people don't want to see raw imagery of this type and in fact the percentage of these kinds of things happening is very low overall. People want to feel good and usually this is the case in a human healthy human being so they watch a thriller, or a comedy, an action flick etc.
I may be wrong to someone's opinion here but that's life.
There is the assumption that they use credit cards at all. Some people who fit snugly into your statement wouldn't use a credit card for dining out, or even the gas station. Some of us simply won't trust the internet or the random-crap-shoot of an employee this week at the local 7-11 for gas with our cc's until a decent system is in place.
That sound preposterous. I was using PGPFone back on a 14.4 & 28.8 modem a long time ago and I can say it sounded pretty darn good. So why does your 6mb up 6mb down pipe need very low latency for it? Just reduce the bitrate back to what you would sound like on a phone and blam, no problems?
I understand the appealing nature to hear the person as if they're in the room with you but come on... phone quality is good enough for the time being especially if you have your conversation encrypted over broadband.
Now the ISP's artificial limit/control of bandwidth, that's another story.:D
what would have been even BETTER would be for him to just lay out a policy to ban sexuality outright. no marriages, gay or straight. no mock weddings, nothing. don't discuss it, homosexual or heterosexual. there simply isn't a place for it in this game. it wasn't meant for it. it's a game. there are male and female characters - so what. play the game and quit bitching about "my so called rights" being trampled because you (anyone/someone) want to use the game in ways that that go beyond what those who created it intended.
I'm all for the hacking and using of things in ways they weren't intended (and no this isn't double speak bullshit) - but such a fiery issue that simply obfuscates many of the actual and more important issues of a government that's been lying to use for the past 6 years (oh what the hell... 50 years) shouldn't be a major focus.
there are MUCH greater problems to be dealt with than an bloody fucking game and a handful of whiny people. take care of our government first and ensure it's not going to collapse under the weight of its own lies and financial problems, make sure we keep the Constitution and Bill of Rights intact then go after some of the other problems.
our government is such a cluster fuck bureaucracy at the moment it's too big for its britches. lets take care of something that actually matters.... keeping a government so that we actually HAVE those freedoms later instead of the guise where people think they do only to watch our government change everything simply because the executive branch decided it wanted more powers than the other two branches of our government combined./end rant
