Quick, someone go tell miguel! Microsoft just released Microsoft Jumping Off a Bridge 1.0! He'd better go copy it before they get too big of a head start.
It's weak anyway, looks like just the PS2 version. Sawing some guy in half through the crotch just won't be the same without the motion control mini-game.
Oh yes, very insightful. Why the fuck would you bring a phone that you're not going to turn on, much less three? You're a fucking idiot and so are the mods here. It doesn't matter if it's a design flaw. I never said anything about that and I'm completely on base. Take three $600 phones with you that you're not going to use is just plain stupid. Almost as stupid as buying three of them in the first place.
"You guys" are a group of idiots who don't have a clue. Your comments betray your ignorance and your inclusion in this group.
Come back with your lame arguments when you can design an experiment to prove that humans have a "moral code." I expect to never see you posting again as you will be unable to do this, despite being able to have a conversion with the person about the topic.
It baffles the mind that any reasonable person could actually think that they have anything to say on a topic when they clearly are incapable of comprehending even the basics. But I just need to keep reminding myself that you just aren't reasonable. You should smack yourself awake from your delusion and realize that you just need to keep your mouth shut on subjects of any complexity since you will never reach a point where you will be able to understand them.
Now you can go fuck right the hell off our planet. There are billions of mindless drones just like yourself and you are unlikely to distinguish yourself as useful for even the limited tasks you are mentally capable of handling.
Why would anyone vote for romney? The guy's a prick, a moron, and his policies suck.
This shouldn't be a question at all. No one so delusional as to be religious should be in any position of power, particularly that one.
BTW, just in case anyone wants to mod this troll too I'll help you justify it: mormons are fucking morons, of a particularly special sort that far surpasses even the lunacy and idiocy of most other religions. Just to be clear, I'm not implying that there are religions that lack these characteristics, only that mormonism is not alone atop that particular pile of delusional crap.
Then what is their moral code, and how can I show that repeatably in the lab? Science doesn't explain it at all. You hand-wave and say, "well they must have a moral code because I believe evolution produces them." That's not science. That's guessing, and faith-based arguments. Those are the whole kinds of things I am attempting to avoid. Faith in the unknown is faith in the unknown is faith in the unknown. I want to have KNOWLEDGE, not faith.
I stopped reading about halfway through this paragraph. You guys need to come up with some new material that is in any way related to reality. Otherwise people won't want to talk to you. Start by learning that "moral code" is what we (not me personally, but a whole lot of you) call sets of behaviors associated with continuing favorable conditions for groups of people living together.
For someone who claims to want knowledge you sure do have very little of it and show no interest in actually acquiring it. These subjects are very, very basic exercises in reasoning. You shouldn't have such a difficult time with it.
You're an invincibly ignorant moron. That's basically the end of the argument right there. Just because you can't be convinced when you're wrong doesn't make you right. It makes you an idiot. I'll leave the "moral" high ground to you religious types, it isn't worth anything in the real world.
windows programmers tend to have strange ideas about things. It's kind of like there's a little box that you play in on windows and it really does seem to limit people.
They don't have to. Uncle Ballmer will just ask little Miguel to be a good little lap dog and stop working on it. If they really have to they'll just make up some new worthless piece of software so he'll be too distracted trying to copy it to work on moonlight.
This would also be much less of a problem if gtk didn't depend on so many libraries. Or better yet, if Firefox would switch off of gtk all together. gtk is a mess and always will.
Bundling it with Firefox would get a pretty good number of users on it and Google could probably be convinced to support it on youtube. But then you're more likely to just split the userbase and end up having to support both. Though the worst case scenario there isn't any worse than silverlight having any level of success and you'd avoid the microsoft lockin.
Hundreds of millions of years ago the atmosphere had a lot more carbon in it than it does now. The world was also a lot hotter than it is now, largely because of it. Over time this carbon was taken out of the atmosphere, primarily by plants. We've basically put most of it back in within a 100 years or so. What the fuck do you think is going to happen?
Of course the science of climate change (despite the popular misnomer "global warming") neither requires, nor suggests that Earth's atmosphere will change evenly or the entire world will even warm. In fact, it's suggested (convincingly so, to anyone even remotely knowledgeable about the topic) that some parts of the world would cool and even experience a new ice age.
How about you do all of us a favor and try out this little experiment at home. Steal your mom's car keys, go out to her garage, close all the doors and turn on the car to experience first-hand the effects of releasing excessive amounts of carbon into a closed system that is incapable of processing it in a timely fashion.
I will most certainly impugn both your intelligence and your intellectual honesty. You clearly possess neither in any significant quantity. If you do in fact not believe in "god" that only proves that being an atheist does not preclude one from being a delusional idiot, it's just a good start.
The *best* answer I've ever heard is, "because it's wrong." Personally I find that more than a little disturbing.
And before we bring any "9/11 hijackers" into a discussion, let's first determine who they really were. Given that a large number of "them" have been found alive and well and not related to blowing up buildings. This is without even getting into the cover-up and whitewashing of the events of 11 September, 2001 that has clearly taken place.
1. Not all religions have the same "moral code," so biology is the only theory that actually makes ANY sense to explain the near universal acceptance of certain "moral" behaviors.
2. The things we might describe as "moral" are our adapted behaviors. I'm sure bears have a "moral code," just like any other animal that has evolved for social situations. Their "moral code" is obviously not going to be the same as ours. As usual, religion explains nothing here and science does.
3. You don't know what evolution is. Not uncommon for religious people, but it really isn't that difficult of a concept so you could at least try to learn. Here's a hint to get you started: evolution isn't a force, it's a process.
You just don't know what evolution is. I doubt you read the book, much less found any flaws with it since you clearly lack the knowledge and/or intelligence to even understand the argument.
Exactly, the only thing they did wrong was limit the scope. Fuck all religions. We have enough idiots who are deluded about factual topics (economics being an easy example), we don't need people being deluded about their imaginary friends, too.
Congrats! You've just made the most idiotic analogy of the day. With anime fansubbers it really is more like you letting your buddy borrow your car while you're out of town and then go after him if he doesn't give it back when you return. Though even that isn't that close to what goes on with anime fansubbing.
These companies knowingly allow the distribution of fansubs in unlicensed markets to build up a demand for that property so as to increase the market value for the license to that property. Legally this should probably be considered permission, since that's really what it is. At least until they snag the license and the free advertising campaign comes to an end.
It seems to be working out really well for all parties involved, which is why they continue to do it.
I'm confused. Is this "story" about nerds being social libertarians or economic libertarians? Because the former would generally go along with a higher degree of education (formal or otherwise) and the latter is usually the result of ignorance, stupidity, and greed.

He probably paid them. What a fucking twat! Just go run windows now, miguel. You don't want to be on the Linux side and we don't want you.
Why did he even bring the fucking thing? And not just one but THREE?!?! This idiot got what he deserves, I hope they make him pay it.
Can there be only one true Slackware user? If that is the case you'd better keep your sword handy.

Have you ever asked a religious person why they don't kill people?
Exactly, the only thing they did wrong was limit the scope. Fuck all religions. We have enough idiots who are deluded about factual topics (economics being an easy example), we don't need people being deluded about their imaginary friends, too.
Hopefully the future won't be as poorly written. Wouldn't hurt to cut out the mormon garbage too.
