I've heard this before, and it caused me to ponder the following question...
What's the difference between someone floating due to orbit, or floating due to a true lack of gravity, ie. in an imaginary space ship thats out out out past the edge of the solar system, past that whats-it-called point where voyger is.... Would the sensation "feel" the same? Would it "look" the same?
if you're gonna trespass on my property to beam high-energy waves into my head, I'll do what I please with them. If you don't like that, don't broadcast to my house.
I aggree with this. The deal is they get the *privillage* of broadcasting in *my* air because I want them to, not because they have some god given right to.
They *give* me the signal. I should be able to do with it what I wish. If I choose to watch their content with no ads, bad luck.
So the deal is not "we make content in return for you watching the ads," it's "we make content in return for the privilage of being able to broadcast it into your home."
You see, the it turns out thetans are made up of other thetans. You've gotta audit them all out.
But you never will. It can't be done. Even L Ron himself couldn't do it.
L Ron never finished the tech. He sold it to Miscavage and his bunch before moving to an island, where he died. Without finishing anything past OT-X. How can you let the church sell you OT "12," or "Super NOTS," which L Ron himself did not create? I tell you, the tech the church has is not original, corrupt and wrong! Seriously, it's squirrel tech. I own L Ron originals. They're substantialy different from the tech you receieve now.
Mate, it's simple. You're actually a human, not theta. Thetans are your feelings and emotions, not spirits or ghosts. Auditing, yes, removes thetans.
But what are you left with when there's no thetans (emotions or feelings) left? Your left with the ability to absorb anything, be told anything, believe anything.
Now Scientology will use you. Use you until your old. Then kick you out. Onto the street. With nothing. You've seen this happen to others. You know this will happen to you. Don't waste the rest of your life.
Yeah, uhh...last time I checked, McDonald's wasn't physically addictive.
Try telling that to someone who's eaten a big mac every night for the past six months.
Their bodies get so used to both the sugars in the bread, and their systems adapt to the "hi-maze" fibre which mc donalds uses. For the guy who eats mc donalds every night, a steak or potato could mean constipation.
Because eating in a resurant is so socicly acceptable, nobody stops to think of the coersive environment mc donalds uses. The entire establishment is a big marketing tool designed to make you feel comfortable, sure, but more importantly, to make you want to come back. From the colour choices on the walls to the fake smiles and enthusiasim of the staff, mc donalds is designed to be a consistant, reliable, addictive experience.
The starving man above wouldn't hesitate to take the loaf of bread if the only penalty is jail time
That's why, years and years ago, in the 1600's, or a bit earlier in England where all this "law" business kicked off, the penalty for stealing a loaf of bread could have been hands cut off, eye gouged out, life servitude, or put on a hulk.
This went on for many years as most of Australia's population heralds from convicts who were shipped over on hulks for stealing bread, hankerchiefs etc.
After a couple of centurys of really, really harsh law, the populace learns through Darwinian evolution.
Firstly, just gotta say that if ISP's block say port 135, the virii are going to move to port 137, then if you block that, to port XXXXX, so port block really wont solve the problem.
But anyway, here's the idea:
if (subscriber ip) = (dynamicaly allocated) then
blockports
else
dontblockports
end if
Correction... we have a record defecit, our kids can't read and write (my parents are teachers), our health system has been gutted (hospitals a plenty, but no nurses to staff them!!), a hybrid political system bastardised from the brits designed to maintain our corporate slavery to the crown (do some digging), and a general hatred for anybody who looks or smells different. Remember, tolerance is not acceptance. Tolerance is hatred with a smile.
You can always make a good thing better, sure. But compared to "terrorist nation's?"
PS. I don't mind be subservient to the crown. I think as far as rulers go, the Queen is pretty dammed good. She doesn't even tell us what to do!
Afganistan: Australia's Special Air Service was there, saved a few yanks in a downed helicopter. The American soldiers seemed to thing these Aussies were all right.
Iraq: Australia sent 3 boats and about 2000 special forces personell. Did a lot of (if not all of) the ground based reconisance, plus about half the search and rescue missions.
East Timor: Liberated the poor little country from the Indonesians and wiped out the resistance. Free elections were held for the first time.
Indonesia: Sent Federal Police over who "helped" with the investigation into the recent Bali Bombing.
North Korea: We'll Be There!
Iran: Be a walk in the park!
Saudi Arabia: Hey, we all like cheap petrol!
Plus there's the fact we're all reasonably well off here in Aus, excellent education and health systems, great democratic political system, fair moral sense.
So you can see there's a few reasons the terrorists might not like us, although, if they do come here, we can easily melt their hearts with our koala bears, or melt their skin with our radiant sun:-)
Another good way to get rid of a tail-gater is to quickly turn your headlights on then off again (use the normal headlights rather than the high beam flasher.) When you do this, your red lights at the back come on, and the tail gater will think you're breaking, and he'll hit the breaks.
Advantage of this method is of course you're not breaking, so the gap will widen quite quickly, usually more than enough to get the tail gater off your tail.
In the great state of New South Wales, yes, there are three signs, and it's pretty hard to miss them. Approx 1.5 metres accross. Heaps of people still get caught.
In the rest of the country, especially here in Victoria, the bastards have got hidden speed cameras. Most aren't turned on - yet. In the tunnles under the city, the speed limit is 80 km/hour, and they'll fine you AUD$125 for going at 84 km/hr.
What's more, the law was recently changed such that you can no longer know the "accuracy" of the device they used. Five years ago, the old radars had an accuracy of +/- 3km, so this amount was always taken from your recorded speed before getting fined. Now, with their bastard laser detectors, they don't tell you the accuracy of the recording.
Speed cameras are fair enough but $125 for 4 k's over the limit is simply fund raising.
"We believe that we can provide consumers with a better product and a better user experience."
But Google doesn't provide a "product" to consumers. Doing a search is recieving a "service," but it's not buying a product. Consumers don't pay a cent! Google makes money and does well because it only provides "product," in the form of advertising, to, well, advertisers.
This comment indicates to me that Microsoft's long term plan is to provide a search as a product, that is, you have to pay for it. So obviously Google's got to go.
"Don't go to the local library to borrow a book... come to Microsofts Wunder-Library - you get so much more for your money!"
You're right. I was shocked recently when a friend called to say she couldn't rip her newly purchased CD. As the resident computer geek, the disc was thrust in my direction with a rather discusted look.
Sure, CDex didn't rip it. It says "please use our audio player software" as soon as you put it in. Hmmmm, methinks...
If this disc has software, it must be multisession! Insert into multisession CD burner. Load Nero. View disc. Oh my goodness, right there in front of me, 14 audio tracks in the first session. Highlight. Click "Save."
Much to my surprise, Nero did the rest, including MP3Pro encode.
So sure, I'm no legend for working this out. But I went from a CD that stated "Copy Protected" to 14 ripped MP3 tracks in 8 MINUTES.
I mean, come on! At least make it a challenge;-)

I hear most Americans would say yes!
So why is McDonalds any less resposnsible, when they sell a product which is just as addictive?
Yeah, it was your fat fingers that prevented you from hitting the c and k key's huh? You need a Homer Simpsons Dialing Wand :-)

And dammit, why does Linus Torvalds have to have 'S' at the end of his first and last name? I can't figure out where the apostrophy goes. ;)
Linus Torvalds' linux kernel.
...would mean the linux kernel owned by Linus Torvalds. Still pronounce "tor-valdz."
