Wow, talk about missing the point. What is the biggest threat to the Progress of Science and useful Arts? Why is a special right needed to promote these things?
Sold out means compromising one or more of your ethics, morals, personal identity, family relations, friendly relations, artistic integrity, other integrity, etc, for money.
It's possible to receive large sums of money without compromising any of these values.
I would argue that this is perfectly ok for any death, if you are family and/or requested by family in a trusting relationship. Just like it's ok to peek into somebody's room and make sure there isn't a live animal that needs caring after the person died....
Curious how you define necessary. In my book, a feature developers want that users hate is a "necessary option". Developers want it, but users hate it....
I don't care much anyway, though. I don't use pidgin, and I didn't know it was just GAIM renamed, so now I'm probably never going to use pidgin. Heh.
Heh, yes, we've screwed during her period (a few times), and didn't get a 6" bloodstain on anything. Also, S&M isn't supposed to draw blood when it's "healthy and normal". Bleeding isn't the turn-on, it's the pain that is.
And as others have noted, they could have told the difference between menstrual blood and other blood quite easily. If they knew it was menstrual blood, that would have supported Hans' statement about how it got there and wouldn't be considered a reason to convict.
Oh man, the issues go even deeper when you start considering memories and shit. Eyewitnesses are far from reliable. Give me circumstantial any day, I can spin a good tale.:)
So, we can torture because they would torture us (and have), and that's supposed to differentiate us from them in what way to the populations whose support we're vying for?
Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that slashdot has become the internet version of tin-foil hat talk radio, and am probably going to remove the rss feed from my reader.
Right, except that there are a number of studies that showed the RIAA labels made more money than they'd ever made before during the height of P2P sharing (Napster). Their first decline in sales, which was 30% decline and blamed on internet file sharing coincidentally accompanied a 30% reduction in produced records. There has been a continuing decline that's been credited with the RIAA tactics in their war, so they're shooting themselves in the foot. (And no, I'm not going to cite, you seem to be quite capable of digging this up yourself, and I'e already cited enough times to be completely bored with it)
Maybe you forgot the decades of anti-drug propoganda to go with it. The difference between now and then (prohibition), besides the obvious fact that they used an amendment the last time but not this time, is that this time they know how to keep popular support.
But let's not forget that many of the people objecting to psych drugs are the people that grew up during Nancy Reagan's Just Say No! campaign.
Ah hell, give the guy full credit just so people who have the vaguest slightest notion won't get a curve. Everytime I try that joke people just stare at me blankly or try to say I'm doing who's on first.
I'm no astrophysicist either, but I know that in an explosion, the center of mass is still in the same place it was before the explosion, and the center of mass of this thing is rotating around something (center of the galaxy?), so the entire explosion will continue to translate in that direction. At some point it will break up as gravity from other sources influences the particles, but the explosion itself will still be spherical, but continue in the direction it's going (assuming the center of the explosion is at the center of the star, otherwise you have to consider the masses of the chunks, but that should be irrelevant to what direction the particles travel immediately after the bang).
Heh, it's cool man. We're probably pretty much in agreement and responding to our own pet peeves on the subject.:)
The ~'95 bombing (must hae been 96, since I was married when it happened) was a pipe bomb, and I think it was the olympic bombing, the name you give rings a bell there. Security guard?
You've heard the 9/11 attack referred to as two separate incidents numerous times, but probably didn't notice? Have you noticed that the media, slashbots, et al refer to it as "the 9-11 attacks"? Maybe I'm being too pedantic about it, but only in a purely tactical sense were there more than one attack on that day. Rather, it was all the same attack, even the pentagon and that other plane, and only in a tactical sense would the pentagon bombing be referred to as a separate attack. Strategically, they were all the same attack. Two towers, one 5-sided building, and a field in pennsylvania, 4 planes, one attack. Of which the attack on the empty field was the most brilliant.
I think DHS was a good idea as far as good ideas go, but in the context under which the idea was formed, discussed, proposed, passed, and implemented, it was Very Bad. It's one of those things where you can only implement DHS when nothing bad is going on or has recently happened, otherwise it'll be nothing but a big hairy mess. I would have preferred if, instead of creating DHS, they just declare one of the existing agencies responsible for aggregating the information that they're not supposed to aggregate in the first place, but what do I know?

Heh, no. That it's much more fun to be successful and stick it to the man than it is to sell out and call it success.
It's possible to receive large sums of money without compromising any of these values.
Actually, that's priceless. For everything else in this situation, there's Mastercard.
My family would probably disown me if I wasn't an organ donor. Heh. I love these guys. ;)

I've seen that.
I would, and have. I want a single line text input for irc and im clients. There is no room for negotiation, I will write my own if I have to. :)

Wait a minute. It's derogatory to call a minor a virgin? Is it also derogatory to call her a slut? /me is confused.
Somehow, being moderated Troll for this particular post is meangingful.
It all depends on what the meaning of the is.

That doesn't mean they're not filthy and disgusting.
They may use the word "distribution" in their filings, but they use "copying" in the PR campaign.
Thank you. In the future, when someone asks me if I'm a liberal or a conservative, I will tell them "I am versatile".
