NOTE: This post does not argue any point of view and merely points out very obvious facts. When it gets modded down as redundant or flamebait or troll, that will speak volumes for the crowd that moderates postings.
Or, maybe, by not arguing a point of view and only pointing out obvious facts you have added very little to the discussion...
What would traditional American food be, by the way? I don't know anything about Native American cuisine. BBQ, cajun/creole, what most people think of as pizza, etc...
but the Covenant remain, thus Halo 2. In Halo 2, you fight the Covenant and more of the Flood. The game ends with neither the destruction of the Covenant nor the Flood, thus Halo 3. Halo 3 finishes the fight. Then what? Why even go on? The story is over.
No Halo 4? You mean, $170 Million in the FIRST day of sales isn't enough incentive to make Halo 4? I'm sorry, but there's way too much money wrapped up in that franchise. It's not going anywhere soon.
Maybe it's because all the ozone fearmongers have jumped ship to the rising tide of global warming. They realized the hole isn't going to get much bigger, and so global warming offers much more bang for your buck when you want to be an alarmist.
Or maybe it is because we drastically reduced ozone depleting chemical use and it is not such a immediate concern. Nah, it has to be some sort of consiracy right?
The prophets of 1970 said:
-We would be out of oil by now
-Our forests would be gone by now(Remember those commercials - the one with the little girl walking with her grandfather that were wearing gas masks and they were in a dry river bed and she says "Grandaddy, what was it like to have trees?")
-The ozone hole will get larger and eventually allow kill 80% of life on the planet
-Mercury poison will kill all the fish (Fictional movie about it)
And 1984 was supposed to happen in 1984. Therefore, it can never happen.
That's just insanity in the guise of an authoritative-sounding quote. How did the "state" give Microsoft its monopoly power to force PC vendors not to carry competitors' OS products?
While I know some people may dislike the new Office 2007, after using it for a while now, I can say honestly that it's the best version yet. The usability and UI are greatly improved (once you get used to them).
Open Office (and I haven't checked out the latest version) comes in and says that it's a replacement for MS Office... but it does things its own way. Some shortcut keys are similar, but a lot of stuff is different.
I think near on a thousand years without a violent revolution, but instead a series of evolutions, sometimes bloody, at others not proves that it's not "inevitable".
Note that the hypervisor doesn't prevent you from updating the GPL code (the Linux kernel, for example)--
it just prevents you from getting extra access to the machine by updating the code. Thus it allows "tivoization" without violating the letter (or arguably the spirit) of GPL v3. The GPL code you can hack and modify to your heart's content; the hypervisor just makes sure that said hacking doesn't compromise the machine.
Is this really a bad thing though?
If a company wants to build a black box from the ground up they should be free to. Adapting some GPL software to then run on this machine so long as they follow the license of the software should be their right.
People saying this is a circumvention misunderstand the point of the "Tivo" clause.
It's when they lock down "our" code that it becomes an issue.
More like an order that the white board be placed under constant surveillance creating a continuous, timestamped, and legible video record from now on.
"Rejecting a major theory with a century-and-a-half of observational and experimental evidence behind it in favor of a ludicrous Biblical interpretation"
Isn't that like when people thought the Earth was flat, despite the Bible saying it was round? ('The circle of the Earth')
Yes, that is a very good example of a ludicrous biblical interpretation.
Hey, I agree with the GP, global warming aint all bad. Check this picture out for example: link Mountain pine beetles baby. Of course, I am a huge pyro so YMMV.
I can't even figure out what they are trying to say with this article.
Microsoft doesn't distribute GPL software so of course they will not be bound by the GPL.
And secondly, I though the MS Novell deal was grandfathered in anyway. The only reference I can find for that though is this line: "Among other things, the released version grandfathers in the Novell deal so that Microsoft's SLES coupons will undermine their patent threats" from the GPL ver. 3 release posting. link
...extensive documentation of your activities prior to the interview... and totally ironclad zero-tolerable proof that you knew of the setup beforehand and that your activities are inconsistent with someone hoping to actually score with a real kid...
That is pretty good idea, though they would never air it. They hire a kid as the bait (which should be abuse itself honestly), you just hire a kid as the prey, have them lie about how they are 50 years old.
Here is a hint: A pretend army of supporters is still a pretend army.
Isn't it fascinating to watch as shitty comments (like we see above), vacillate back and forth between "+5 Insightful" and "Flamebait" as the pretend army fights the good fight against Apple "FanBoiz" everywhere?
A pretend army that happens to have mod points. Interesting...
You merely have a license to use, in a particular way. I can't fathom why that is such a difficult concept for so many people.
It is a difficult concept for people because it is wrong. When you buy something covered by copyright you buy that thing covered by copyright law. The only things governing your use of that item is copyright law, period.

Correlation does not imply causation.
Correlation very much implies causation. It does not, however, prove causation. At least get your semantics right...

Which censorship is that, exactly, anyway?
Try posting the code for DeCSS on your personal website for an example.

Copyright.
Worst part is that they require a subscription and you can't buy a single track like you apparently can with Amazon without paying for the month.
Actually, I believe you can buy single tracks now. The subscription service is cheaper though.
Someday, countries like Canada with lots of wheat will want something besides debt instruments in exchange for their goods.
According to this the US produces 3 times as much wheat as Canada.

The Roman Empire lasted 1000 years then fell.

Yes it pretty much is.

This is all besides the point that you build a house to fit around YOU, not the other way around.
Says timmarhy, about a round structure. You do realize we are talking about the good old US of A right?
It took you a lot of words to tell the GP that his first-hand experiences were wrong.
I doubt you are going to convince him though. You see, he was there, you on the other hand, don't even know where there is.
Population growth by country, notice anything?
