"[Pablo] Escobar was a brilliant criminal, and he knew that he would be safer if the common people of Medellín loved him. Therefore, he spent millions on parks, schools, stadiums, churches and even housing for the poorest of Medellín’s inhabitants. His strategy worked: Escobar was beloved by the common people, who saw him as a local boy who had done well and was giving back to his community."
This is a great comparison of a self serving agenda disguised as philanthropy. I'll have to use this one in the future...
But seriously, is there all that much difference between Scientology and the Mormon Church?
Is there really much difference between "insert religion" and "insert religion", except for when the scam started? They seem to be going after them in LIFO order to build up precedence.
"...my last install was a three-day affair due to the motherboard reporting a Linux-supported ethernet device (the common RTL8168) while it was actually using a GbE Ethernet device that does not work with the legacy drivers"
So how much money did this journey save the company? Just slap in an intel card and be done with it for f's sake! Then it will support proper VLANs, jumbo frames and probably just work smoother than some cheap onboard NIC anyways.

It was once socially acceptable to dope up children with opiates. Anyone with any common sense should have been able to see this was not healthy. History repeats.
"Youngsters were introduced to the pleasures of opiates at their mothers' breast. Harassed baby-minders - and overworked parents - found opium-based preparations were a dependable way to keep their kids happy and docile; this was an era before Ritalin. Sales of Godfrey's Cordial, a soothing syrup of opium tincture effective against colic, were prodigious. But Godfrey's Cordial had its competitors: Street's Infants' Quietness, Atkinson's Infants' Preservative, and Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
Opium was viewed as a medicine, not a drug of abuse. Contemporary medical theory didn't allow that one could become addicted to a cure. However, the chemists and physicians most actively investigating the properties of opium were also its dedicated consumers; and this may conceivably have coloured their judgement."
No, there is very little cheese. Not a lot of Diary in the history of China, that's why 95% are lactose intolerant.
From the article:
"In addition, because most humans could not tolerate lactose well, cheese was more easily digestible than milk. Cheese would have been the perfect way to receive the nutritional benefits of milk without much of the lactose intolerance."
No value is destroyed other than for those who decide to sell their stocks because the prices changed with "no actual cause", and even that value isn't destroyed it's transferred to those who bought the stocks when they were priced way under their actual value.
I take it you're not familiar with how stop losses work.
Only governments can do this sort of thing properly. Pity Americans don't trust their government.
1Gbps fiber to the house is a waste when you consider the options:
For $140B we could exactly bail out the banks after screwing us yet again. We could extend the war in Afghanistan another 3 years. Or you could also extend the "war on drugs" another 4 years!
Geez, I thought you were trolling but he LITERALLY... "sent a text message to his family saying he wanted his brain to be used for research at the Boston University School of Medicine, which is conducting research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by playing professional football"... and then shot himself in the chest!
And I don't even want them one day closer to hatching when I buy them. Doesn't it just mess up your mood when you crack an egg and it has some blood formed?
Yes it does. you tax them, if they leave, you tax their products more than if they were here.
So you're going to make everyone better off by increasing the cost of the things they buy?
So you're going to make everyone better off by increasing the cost of externally produced things they buy; thereby making the domestically produced items cheaper by comparison?
This is an issue that doesn't get enough attention. Let's face it, if we are to have any near future (20-50yrs) for entitlement programs, we need to be encouraging both immigration and reproduction.
There is a fixed amount of land and resources available to the US. If they would simply tax corporations that extract those resources appropriately there would be enough wealth to go around.
Adding more people is a band-aid solution to a failed system.
They would always comment about how, when couples back-in-the-day got married, the first thing on their list of wants was children. Now, the list of wants usually starts with a house, two cars, living in a nice neighborhood, better insurance, a bigger TV, a good living room set... One's take on the matter: "America's so selfish nowadays it doesn't deserve children."
Perhaps for a select few. However, I believe it is the financial squeeze put on families that is the bigger issue. In the past you would work most of your life at a single company and collect a pension. With security like that it was much easier to have a child, knowing they would be taken care of. With the economic uncertainty now why would you want to have more than 1 or at most 2 children.
Do you consider it abuse to not teach kids about Newton's laws of motion?
Quite the opposite. Hey Billy want to learn about Newton's Laws??? Here's a real classic, F=ma. Let me demonstrate with my belt. Here's another classic, p=mv... now catch this iron with your face to demonstrate.
"But the new observations have also raised new questions," adds Solomon. "Do the dark materials in the polar deposits consist mostly of organic compounds?
In other words people are just going to embed BitTorrent traffic within https packets. Use port 443 with https headers and just change the payload. They can do deep packet inspection all they want but they can't go into the encrypted payload.
I would expect this to usher in an era of complete flight automation, right from taxi-ing, to taking off, to flying, and to landing. That would be so cool:D
Unlikely to happen for the same reason we don't have robots dispensing pills instead of pharmacists. If a human makes an error you can blame them and end their career and cut ties.
If an automated system makes an error then you blame the company(s) that engineered, wrote, tested and built the automation system. Too much blame pointing back that can't be easily put off on a scape goat.

I had to do a dollar/gallon conversion but in Canada we pay north of $4.24/gallon.
We extract our own oil (Canada) ship it to the US and they ship back gasoline, but you think they would cut us a deal!

And so closes another chapter of "We Let Lawyers Write a Legal Document and The Internet Freaked Out."
More like, "We were caught trying to stick it to our users BUT they called us on our shit."
I'm a guy who recently had a piece of matter removed from the brain area and am still recovering six months later.
What's your point? Better that I was already dead?
Depends. Was the piece of matter your frontal lobe?
Cool, now we can do to other industries what we've already done to our own.

Going to be interesting to see if Belcher's brain had this disease, seeing as it was spread all over the parking lot.
One of his former colleagues shot himself in the chest instead, for precisely that reason...
Geez, I thought you were trolling but he LITERALLY... "sent a text message to his family saying he wanted his brain to be used for research at the Boston University School of Medicine, which is conducting research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by playing professional football" ... and then shot himself in the chest!
This guy was the definition of team player.
No shit, and it is not a labyrinth either. It is just randomly printing forward slashes and backlashes.
I disagree, I think this finally proves the existence of god. ;)
And I don't even want them one day closer to hatching when I buy them. Doesn't it just mess up your mood when you crack an egg and it has some blood formed?
If there's JUST blood you're eating it too soon... wait until it is balut... a real delicacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(egg)
