Unreal. I don't even have it in me to make a jab at Republicans over this. I mean... holy shit, Texas. Holy fucking shit. I'm not mad, or angry, or even disappointed. I'm stunned.
The windows phone is much faster in this regard and quite easy to use. I havent played with enough to determine if it's as usable as an iPhone yet but it is in the same ballpark.
Elsewhere in the store Microsoft has touch screen systems for people to play with, XBox with Kinect, and the commercial Surface device (a 36" multi user touch screen thing marketed at bars). Comparing the two stores Microsoft is more inviting and is way more fun. They're beating Apple here in both product lineup and in the store's handling of customers.
make it lose containment. It's completely useless... after that.
Maybe someone listened to my idea.
Indeed, no researcher anywhere has ever considered attacking the AIDS virus cell wall. Step up and receive your Nobel prize, sir.
Anyway, that's not even what's happening. The virus doesn't lose containment. To put this in your sort of parlance, this is more akin to disrupting a cloaking field than causing shields to be lowered. This cyclodextrine stuff uses photon torpedoes to alter the subspace field used to generate the cloaking field and only the cloaking field (ie the chloresterol layer) and not the virus vessel's shields (ie virus wall).
"1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak," says Assange. It's a chilling statistic, but then he states: "On the other hand, the Kenyan people had a right to that information..."
1,300 accessories to murder, I'd say.
Let's put that in context:
The leak exposed massive corruption by Daniel Arap Moi, and the Kenyan people sat up and took notice. In the ensuing elections, in which corruption became a major issue, violence swept the country. "1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak," says Assange. It's a chilling statistic, but then he states: "On the other hand, the Kenyan people had a right to that information and 40,000 children a year die of malaria in Kenya. And many more die of money being pulled out of Kenya, and as a result of the Kenyan shilling being debased."
Removing the context as you did such that Assange apparently confessed to murder strikes me as rather dishonest. Assange has made real mistakes; focus on those unless your intent is merely to discredit his critics.
No, the law wouldn't have had ANY effect on teachers until their school district drafted the written policy required by the law.
The ENTIRE portion that is causing this whole uproar is not even something that the law required of the teachers; it's a requirement for the school districts.
The law requires school districts to enact policy that blatantly violates the first amendment to such a degree that the law has been entirely blocked.
This whole thing has been blown completely out of proportion.
According to Al Gore Sun supplies as much energy (to the surface of the planet Earth) in 1 hour as humanity uses in 1 year. Isn't it more plausible that the natural activity (powered by the Sun) is more responsible for changes in weather patterns than the human activity. I mean, given that natural activity, according to this assertion, has 3-4 orders of magnitude more energy available to it...
It's not the burning of the gasoline that has a measurable impact on the earth's temperature; it is instead heat from the sun trapped by the CO2 released by the burning of the gas that heats the earth significantly.
Ever notice that when an investigation is concluded that if it fits your biases you never question the process?
Ever notice that when you've already decided global warming is a lie, you'd rather conclude that a worldwide grand conspiracy exists than re-examine your world view?
Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis.
m-w.com also notes that the word is "non-standard," while nonetheless defining it. That makes it standard enough to be a proper for all intense land porpoises.
Which would be where? Kind of like your comment below about "Unregulated business has a perfectly unbroken record of destroying economies and people." Where? Mind you, fraud is still illegal, so you're going to have to do better than just citing companies whose executives broke the law and bribed their way out of it - I mean cases where the business itself being "unregulated" is the reason that the disaster occurred.
Due to insufficient regulation:
In the US, rivers have burned.
In India, the Bhopal disaster occurred. Note that the proper nomenclature includes the word "disaster"
In China, lack of regulation is facilitating a worsening environmental catastrophe of a scale that you could not possibly hope to imagine. So watch this documentary.
Of course, you live in a libertard fairy land of self manufactured delusion, so it hardly matters to you what is actually happening on this planet.
Fascism? On the Left Coast? Only if San Francisco residents took an unpublicized dramatic and drastic Right turn. Obviously you are being cynical.
Democrats are in bed with corporations and are highly authoritarian, which makes them fascist, just as those same attributes define Republicans as fascist. Witness the prison-industrial build out in California - and note that the same problem confronts red states as well. For all their talk about small government, Republicans are glad to feed the prison-industrial vampire attached to our jugular, while Democrats are similarly glad to betray their putative love of freedom and supposed desire to use the government to help the public by instead ratcheting up mandatory minimums without end.
Both parties betray the public trust in a textbook fascist manner..75% of our population is in jail. We're not trying to help a significant fraction of these citizens; we are instead hurting them and increasing the likelihood that they will injure others. To what end? Why, as a cheap political sacrifice in order to avoid losing elections - attempting to reduce prison population dooms any US political career with discouraging certitude.
So, we have a government that locks up it's people in order to retain power, and it does so with corporate allies that it can regulate in theory but never effectively prevent from growing larger and more ravenous.
Meanwhile, you're worried about Nancy Pelosi allowing Priuses in the HOV lane. You, the American voter, are the one who deserves to be in jail. Incidentally, once that happens, you don't get to vote anymore.
I support gas drilling if it can be done responsibly and safely. The problem is that right now, there is no evidence that it is possible to do it responsibly and safely.
Pure FUD. Right now, there is no evidence that it isn't being done responsibly and safely, in the vast majority of cases.
Your weasel words fail to reassure anybody. There is evidence: methane contaminated wells. The response from the oil companies to this data is, "our double hull steel casement and concrete wraparound structure 100% ensures that we could not be the cause of your problem. Besides, it would be a violation of my fiduciary duty to my stockholders were I to acknowledge that we are obviously liable for this occurrence."
We all know how this works. Eventually, we will learn that fracking containment is actually only 98% effective, that the oil companies knew this for years, that your part of the civil suit settlement is $8.38, and that smoking while you take a bath will now cause your house to explode.
The only proper response to these ignorant luddites is "shut the fuck up, and get out of my way".
The fool is an ironic character because he does not realize he is the fool. Now that you have been made aware, you become the asshole.
DEFCON is at one casino, so this guy was like, "hurr you should go to a different casino if you are joe sixpack otherwise these hackers will get you." (no disrespect, I'm sure the OP was being comical)
The TEA Party wants the federal government to follow the 10th Amendment and only do what is specifically enumerated in the Constitution--ushering in a bright utopia where the states will repair their own roads, house their own prisoners, and allow people to make their living without being encumbered by too much government interference. (of course regulating interstate commerce is a federal power spelled out in the Constitution. Business entirely within a state would be state regulated only)
There! It sounds much more reasonable when it's the truth and not just want you want to true so it backs up your preconceived opinion.
That's a very BOLD OPINION, but how much of an interstate highway system would we really have without the federal government? This libertarian "truth" you wish to edit into existence is a fucking fantasy.
Again, as I understand it, the annihilation occurs when particles actually collide. That's actually much harder to accomplish than it sounds like.
At STP, how many times per second on average does a single molecule of O2 collide with other O2 molecules in pure O2 gas?
Yes, that's right, a fucking shit god damn epic ass-ton of times. On the order of 5x10^11. So, you bloody idiot, there are plenty of opportunities for a single atom or molecule of antimatter to be annihilated.
How many different people have to explain this to you before it begins to permeate your thick fucking head?!
the purchasing power of money stayed flat for the entire time, with the exception of little bubbles around war time, after which they RETURNED to normal levels...Economic "depressions" and recessions had far less impact on the average person, because the value of their dollars and labor were not greatly impacted for any length of time...our money has been devalued by more than 96%.
It ain't the same, man. No comparison.
Are you bloody serious? Good Lord, you must be the dumbest motherfucker that ever lived. Read up on currency in the imperial Roman era and during the French Revolution, you insufferable twat.
The ignorance here is astounding. The only manufactured crisis was the by the Dems claiming that we would default (this is the only thing that has anything to do with the credit rating) without raising the debt ceiling as much as they wanted, which is simply not true. Balance the freaking budget. The *only* way to do that involves cutting programs that we simply can not afford. You can't fix this by taking all of the money away from people who provide jobs.
oh noes, can't tax the "job creators" like carly fiorina, hurf de durf
Slashdot Mirror
>> 4,143,077 Texans live in poverty. 1,655,085 of them are children. http://www.census.gov/
The other some odd 2,487,922 are paying Texas traffic ticket SURCHARGES.
I hadn't heard of this, so I googled "texas ticket surcharge."
If you go to Texas, you'll pay for it the rest of your life.
Unreal. I don't even have it in me to make a jab at Republicans over this. I mean... holy shit, Texas. Holy fucking shit. I'm not mad, or angry, or even disappointed. I'm stunned.
Haha, what's that? Couldn't hear you over the sound of my money accruing. By the way, you missed a spot.
Yep, freetards gotta have their freebees.... Bring on the DRM I say.
How are those boots tasting? Lick harder, I want a good polish.
This is perfectly kosher with both the spirit and letter of free and open-source software.
Can I download the source? NO. I can download a promise to become open source. Fuck. That.
Where's the source? All I can download is a binary and a promise to become open source. So, it's not open source.

It's not working. You need to shill harder.

Then the muscle memories for each should be well compartmentalized such that you may switch between the two with high competency in either layout.

Are you kidding? Britain in particular is way left-of-center.
The same Britain whose media is owned by Murdoch? Please.
It's all a Democrat CONSPIRACY, I tells ya!
