The issue isn't about the doctor, the issue is about the practice not being required, at all.
Women can't have an opinion generally due to the lack of a penis actually Although to be fair, I was a bit off target, women AND men shouldn't have any input on circumcision, the only person who should is the owner of the penis, period.
I am completely confident with medicine as it is, amputating an arm is completely safe, I'm sure the odd accident might occur but for the most part this procedure should be pretty straightforward.
I look forward to having this done to all boys children, my religion states all boys born need to have their right arm removed!
Also, my wife hates the sight of a man with his right arm attached, so un-attractive! and since mine was done, may as well do the same thing to my kids!
Mod this gentleman UP please people. I too have damaged genetalia due to a circumcision that I didn't want, had no say in and didn't need, fortunately the damage isn't too severe in my case. (turkey neck)
Please take a look at this, it's not for the squeemish, nor is it work safe. http://www.circumstitions.com/Complic.html That is a rare occurance just like myself and wbr1, however NONE of them needed to fucking well occur in the first place.
Oh and can I just say, politically correct or not - women do not have any say in this topic of discussion, NONE, NADA, their opinion is utterly worthless on this topic - be it for or against. I've seen too many articles on this topic with facebook or twitter posts by women who think they have a right to comment on it. The one I saw yesterday which got me fired up by a woman "your son, your decision" ugh.
As an Aussie, your submission is appreciated. I'm really not happy about the added latency this is going to have on my link but this outright disgusting move by the government once again shows their contempt for us.
I'm hoping to find a solution at a reasonable price that still lets me put through a significant amount of data, ideally something my DSL modem can auto-connect to as well so I don't need to maintain local clients on my workstation(s)
Hopefully some reasonable services are available out there.
Well, really all my post has done has told them that their campaign was successful. Also it's not like I don't speak the truth.
Finally - the movies I'm in to are so obscure I doubt the big American movie houses even give a damn about the films I was obtaining. FWIW I did mean to post anonymous but oh well.
Ok so I'm an evil horrible movie pirate.... *however* in my defence, I'm in Australia - our online streaming offerings are utterly dreadful "Content not available in your region" geo-ip blocking is something you learn to DETEST here.... or of course our internet download limits which would go with them - streaming is often significantly less efficient than a fully buffered, truly local copy of a film. (no stutter, better quality, no need to re-download if you pause half way through and the playback device goes to sleep)
Furthermore my tastes are incredibly obscure, I'm one of those movie nerds who will watch a film, check imdb trivia and forums (80% bad, 20% good) to find more information about the actors, writers, directors, trivia and so on. Unfortunately for almost every movie I watch, I find 2 to 5 more. Yes I'm a movie junkie, I love them.
Problem is here, Demonoid was the only place I know of with really, really obscure stuff - it's not just the Korean, Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong films - it's also the overall older films or the things which aren't a 7 or higher in IMDB. Finding odd Japanese 1970's film under say IMDB 6.5 LEGALLY is damn near impossible in this country or online (out of print DVDs or collector pricing) it's simply extremely difficult to find a legal, simple and reliable solution.
So, long story short is, demonoid saved my ass for a long time and already in the few weeks it's been gone I've been finding less and less of the things I'm after. - the movie houses don't make this easy for us in the slightest:/
Come on now, if someone is smart enough to look up the specs for the technology they surely, surely know this is a completely ridiculous suggestion for a home environment.
Yes the mammoth automated tape libraries exist(ed) for huge business over the last 50 years, however a home version which doesn't require user interaction for tape changes is madness, plus, depending on the OS - the system may well want to check / index / scan the files frequently. Is this person proposing using multiple drives? Seriously what's the deal here?
I guess if it's a troll, bravo - it's stupid yet they clearly let it on the site and I as well as others are biting. If it's not a troll and you're legitimately asking,.... I really don't know what to say,... do you actually want a thought out response to such a ridiculous fucking question?
Editors: you're better than this, I thought anyhow,...
No, I am not affiliated with them, but swear by the app. Also, surprisingly for something which attaches to explorer, never ever had a fault / crash from it.
and good lord was it an impressive piece of hardware. Makes me all gooey just thinking about it.
I can watch Trinity and Beyond every year http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114728/ Nuke porn at it's most glorious. Narrated by Shatner himself and with an awesome orchestra to boot. Man that bomb was impressive.
Guess what? The iphone 3 had an AWFUL bloody camera, the 3GS was somewhat better and the iphone 4 had that ridiculous green blotch in the middle. True definition of idiot Apple users, no wonder there's a backlash against that moronic cult / culture forming.
I do, I do indeed. I note a few replies regarding the retina display not being *that* clever and look, you're right it's not some magical innovation.
However, they did bring an ultra high res display to smartphones and tablets when no one else would. They pushed forward on something which should've been done years ago. So as much as I now dislike the company practice and products, I do have to give them credit for 'getting it done'
Now the rest of the industry will finally catch up.
Apple might have to go back to innovating instead of what they've been doing the last 18 months. (Retina display being the last really clever thing I'd credit to Apple) Galaxy S3 folks, Apple are shitting themselves and rightfully so, S2 was good, S3 is great, genuinely good hardware - some great software too.
Disclaimer: I've owned an iphone 3/3gs/4 and Galaxy S2 and S3.
John Romero is often given unnecessary shit due to a marketing campaign someone else conjured up and he just said "ok sure" too. He's pretty much a very very nice and enthusiastic guy. John also had a HUGE amount to do with the design of episode 1 of Doom, which gets him mucho credit.
I will say I agree with the posters here, regarding the closed platform with an arbitrary cost to developers and how Apple isn't all roses. It's a bit of a shitty and surprising thing for John to say. Especially the piracy, I'm sure that was the case when Android was new and it was mostly nerds using it, however it's very mainstream now and I'm not convinced the evil piracy Android system is anything like that anymore for the average user. Poor showing John.
One of the 2 favourite things I have about that jump (if I recall, and no I didn't re-watch the video was)
1. he had a hole in his glove but didn't tell anyone because he really wanted to jump and I think it was the last chance or some such.
2. when he lands and the rescue team come to grab him - in one of the videos, his buddy walks up to him says something (there's a voice over) and he flips his pal the bird with a big smile.
Right here folks this is why. I don't mind my google services tied together/to an extent/ and I dont' care if google/internal/ can identify that I'm firstname.lastname@gmail.com and cowtipper69 on youtube. but I sure as shit don't want regular folk to be able to do it.
This applies across the board for googles services and is why I am easing back on using their stuff when possible.
Why the (more expletives) should I damn well have to move to a non stock ROM just because of a foolish decision by Google?
This move is going to frustrate 'normal' users who don't know how to mod and regardless if there's a way round it with Cyanogen, it's still a completely illogical decision.
I've been ranting about this for months, it's difficult to put into words my thoughts on this without sounding like a raving lunatic or a badly broken record. I am _sick_ of companies making stupid decisions with their user interfaces.
Why on EARTH would we want a nice, consistent location for a button to now become a random location on the screen? and what makes them think three odd little dots represents 'settings' or 'menu' clearly? WHAT?
I do not exaggerate when I say one of the PRIMARY reasons I switched from Apple to Android was the complete and utter logic of having nice, consistent buttons for routine functions. Back, menu, home seem logical to me. I also NEVER, EVER use the multi-task button, why would I? The OS handles it all perfectly for me, when I hit home it minimises the application (so to speak) and when I re-open the application, it's where I wanted it. Furthermore, holding down the home key (Samsung) seems logical to multi-tasking to me, not a dedicated button.
I am extremely, extremely baffled and pissed off at this completely and utterly idiotic move and it's also one of the primary reasons I got the Galaxy S3, possibly one of the last Android phones with a logical button scheme. Sadly, I'm only one person whining about this but by god does the Google engineering group who decided on this change need a mighty fucking slap with the logic bat.
Yeap, I just moved a small business of about 25 users on to it because I don't have the time or the desire to learn more shit about MS Exchange. Unless you're reading constantly and on the absoloute cutting edge of news and security information, sooner or later you're gonna get done.
My only issue is with latency to Australia. My users insist on using Outlook (and to be honest, considering their needs, I support this) so dragging / dropping mail is a bit tedious compared to a local server.

I loved my HTC HD2
Once I put Android on it - they even have 4.0.4 now. Very awesome.
I'm fine with both but very confused that multi-tasking got a dedicated button but menu didn't - it seems so completely and utterly backwards to me.
Why the (more expletives) should I damn well have to move to a non stock ROM just because of a foolish decision by Google?
This move is going to frustrate 'normal' users who don't know how to mod and regardless if there's a way round it with Cyanogen, it's still a completely illogical decision.
