It's too bad the Allies released those photos of the concentration camps. They were literally working for the Nazis and their SS arm.
Yeah, so many do not realize that ISIS and groups like them are acting like Nazi Germany. The world went to war against Germany to fight Nazism knowing that not every German was a Nazi but something had to be done to stop them. All of the silent muslims are either secret supporters or complacent in their silence to the atrocities committed much like how the germans that refused to stand up to the nazis in germany are partially to blame for the holocaust.
The terrorists want as many people as possible to live in a non-specific paralysing fear where you are afraid to provoke the enemy rather than having a desire to take the fight to them. Self-censorship only serves their cause. The west needs to see them for the monsters that they are and admit which religion/ideology drives them. They are simply following the example of their prophet because he did similar things. If you call them non-Islamic then by extension you are calling Muhammad non-Islamic as well which is ridiculous. What the terrorists do not want is the public in the western nations getting angry and calling for a coalition to defeat ISIS like the allies defeated Nazism and fascism in WWII.
I REALLY hope this yield something of importance to bring space back to the forefront of people minds. Keep people dreaming, exploring and wanting more.
I REALLY hope our global religious community will be able to handle what we find without calling for the Apocalypse and using it as an excuse to destroy us all in an effort to ensure we are "saved".
You are a special kind of dumb aren't you? You are simultaneously talking about your unsubstantiated "religious" belief in alien life while attacking other religions because they do not believe what you believe? Bravo, you are as bright as ISIS.
Wait.... which monitors got better? Cheap monitors are undeniably better now, but I kept an old CRT around for ages because it was much better with some things, most importantly for me response time.
Response time has got much worse with the advent of anything but CRT.
Now, I'll agree that monitors got cheaper, and higher resolution, but not necessarily better. 120hz is rare now, too.
Sorry but what the hell does response time have to do with photography and viewing the resulting photographs on the monitor? Go back to playing your FPS.
Wondering the same thing. I make around the same after 10 years of this bullshit.
That might or might not be so bad. It really depends on the cost of living where you live. You might be better off than someone making 100k where the cost of living is really high.
Some activist idiot ran a script on Wikipedia changing all references non-trans to CIS destroying the integrity of articles discussing historical TransJordan and non-TransJordan prior to the 1967 war with Israel.
Having crossed paths with this fella about 10 years ago, you're not too far off. Minus the racism.
I did not realize that Chinese was a race. I thought it was a nationality. Is this like how people who question Islam are called racists? Islam is also not a race but a religion and potentially an ideology. Should people oppose communism be called racists too?
Conservatives are for equal treatment. For instance, a law against sleeping on the sidewalk should be enforced equally on both millionaires and homeless vagrants.
Until that "equal treatment" extends to marriage. Then they suddenly oppose equality.
Equality? Marriage? Marriage is a social and societal construct which is granted certain collective rights and privileges in exchange for some loss of rights and freedoms. The governments roll is supposed to only recognize marriage. It did not define traditional marriage in the first place. If the government wanted to create a civil legal construct like say "civil union" to include non-traditional marriage then they could do that but to suggest that individual jurisdictions have the right to redefine marriage to include same sex couples is preposterous. You cannot change what you did not own in the first place. Marriage is a construct of all of human society and is not at the whim of any single government authority. You are not any less equal if you remain unmarried, in fact your individual freedom of movement is greater.
So basically you are saying that you are saying that voted liberal or NDP and that you love the CRTC and that harper's people are mean for challenging them and you possibly work for one of the companies that makes up ROBELLUS? You seem also be a fanboy of "science" which is a field of study which wants you to stop anthropomorphising it and stop assigning political or idealogical bias to it. Science is a useful tool for discovery but you need to learn to think for yourself and not be afraid to not believe everything someone tells you just because they have a specific title. Don't be so damn naive.
which due to dwindling sales and prospects, may be the last 747s to be produced.
the 747 has been around forever, with many upgrades over that time. it has a proven track record. Now, generally im against no bid contracts, but this one makes sense.
Why does it make sense? Because America? Even with this token gesture, it will likely be the last Boeing plane used for the president's fleet.
Still a fucking miracle with Harper and the current CRTC. The major players had a lot of victories in recent years.
Sorry but how is it a miracle? Have you not seen the commercials from the Harper government about changing the wireless industry in favour of the consumers? Did previous governments even attempt to reform the CRTC or how the wireless industry treats consumers? The answer is no so why the anti-harper rhetoric? Previous governments either did nothing to improve the industry for the benefit of consumers or made it worse by appointing industry cronies to the CRTC board. If you want to blame why it was bad, look at previous liberal governments.
Canada put the Province of Québec under the martial laws in 1970 after the kidnapping of MP Pierre Laporte who was Labor minister and member of the mob. The Martial law result of thousands of jailed people because they speak french.
Yes and that was implemented by a Liberal Prime Minister named Pierre Elliot Trudeau. The left like to talk about how they believe in rights and freedoms but once they get in power, their tune changes.
When will they start taking reports of anti-semetic hate speech seriously? It seems that if you call someone a "wuss" for using a community page to troll and make anti-christian and anti-jewish statements instead of their personal account, you will get banned from posting and liking for 3 days if the person in question identifies as gay as well as deleting your relatively inoffensive remark/challenge to use a personal account instead so that we can block them. However, if you report one of those same people for hate speech against a religious or ethnic group, nothing will happen to them and the comment will not be deleted regardless of how many times people report their hate speech.
Equality means equal responsibility and equal application of punishments as well as privileges. Why is hate speech against christians and jews tolerated by facebook reviewers and why is calling someone a "wuss" grounds for a temp ban?
I don't know about everyone else, but my hand leaves crap on my mouse that needs to be cleaned regularly. I wouldn't want that stuff getting into the mouse and sticking to the circuits...
Sounds like you should get yourself checked out by a doctor if your pores are extruding crap.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you really are an actual retard.
Are you an environmentalist? Do you drive a car, fly on jets for vacation trips? Do you drive cars on road trips? If so, then you do not practice what you preach. If you believe carbon credits in any way benefit the environment then I have a bridge to sell you.
Live your life the way you preach to others before you preach.
All you greenies do is talk about how "we" should change but "you" do absolutely nothing yourselves. What to help the planet? Plant a tree, move closer to your work, sell your car and instead use car sharing services and transit. Stop telling "us" what to do and make definitive changes yourselves.
I am not a greenie and I don't tell others what they should or should not do but I don't drive a car by choice and it has nothing specifically do do with being an "environmentalist".
I think iOS updates have to jump through the same carrier hoops as Android. The difference is that Apple only has a small number of devices that need to be tested so it's faster and easier for them to roll out updates.
I am sure carriers are given beta testing access but I doubt they have a veto on updates because the update, barring hardware differences on models, is the same for all iOS devices. So the core of the OS is the same on a Verizon, Sprint or AT&T phone but only differs in the cell radio firmware portion.
Google doesn't make the version of Android that goes out on e.g. Samsung phones. Google can patch 4.3 ll they want, but it's up to Samsung to take the patch, implement it, test it on all their devices, then get blessing from the various carriers to send it out. Given there's still people out there with S3s (and probably S2s) there's no chance they're going to put the effort into it and instead tell people to get the shiny new S5.
Should not matter. If they are patching the core, the core should be available for updating by google directly by alerting the user of a needed patch. The customization should not be touching the core of the OS.
Even if they patched it for 4.3, there is approximately zero chance that it would be pushed out as an update by anyone.
Hindsight is 20/20 but they could have copied the idea from Apple where a process would periodically check for vulnerabilities in the background. They could patch the vulnerable component through a google updater on the phone. I don't think most vulnerabilities would require a new ROM for the phone.
I'm still trying to figure out (for my wife) what magical, unintuitive process will get all her epubs and mkv files to open on her iPad Air 2. It's a royal clusterfucking pain. We used to have an arcane process but that broke with the latest itunes.
At least this pain is bringing home the realization that Apple isn't easy to use, doesn't just work, and can't be trusted for pretty much anything.
Really? For your MKV files, load them into the storage directory of the player that can play them through iTunes. For epubs, you can load them into the the storage folder for iBooks. Google it.

Religion and Peace are like polar opposites when you look at the grand picture throughout history.
Do you have a reading comprehension issue? We are talking about ISLAM, not other religions which do not go around killing people for being offended.
Basically their "app" could be easily handed as a mobile ready website?
