We fans KNOW it wasn't as popular as a mainstream show. So because the mainstream has deemed it a failure it should die a noble death and just be quiet? Sometimes the minority demands to be heard. Sorry your delicate sensibilities are getting damaged. Probably best to move on in life.
Way to blunt the obvious, thanks for the clarification though (wasn't my point). But... stupid cow...? Wtf? Your mommy gonna wash out your mouth with soap if she catches wind you've been using swears?
In Soviet Russia, the government controls corporations.
While I have time to kill waiting for a train I'm ask you about that idiotic sig of yours. You've had it for years and I want an explanation. It bugs the hell out of me.
Talking about "Soviet Russia" in the present tense makes you sound like a tard.
It's an obvious statement, like saying red is a red color. We know how the Soviet system worked.
Sociobiology- sounds like a psuedo-scienctific discipline, not a hard science. I think he has something of a point, but not much of one. Einstein said he wasn't much of a mathematician himself, but that's not saying much. He certainly spoke the lingo and although STR came to him as a thought experiment he needed mathematics to describe it to the scientific community at large.
The Jar Jar comment means Disney is going to squeeze the shit out of the franchise until only pennies fall to the ground. Then they'll crumble it up and throw it away for the next cultural trash the masses will pony up for.
That's silly as well. Go get educated. Reagan mandated the end of fed money for many state mental facilities, all of which got half their funding from the fed. Now we have thousands of homeless mentally ill all over the country. I deal with them everyday.
It's a bit more complex than all that. All law in the UK is under the umbrella of "common law", Under that are "UK Laws", which break down even further, but mostly by region, yes. Sort of.
You have a point, the current state of the legal system here is ridiculous with the horrific "war on drugs" and Regan's closing of the state-run mental facilities. I'm all behind you regarding our legal system and those two issues. However, your libel laws are ridiculous. I was brought up with the old adage "sticks and stones" and all that, its a ridiculous notion to claim harm and fiscal damage by what people say about you, barring some extreme cases. But since the 80's on it seems people have developed extremely thin skins. That and the seeming return to fundamentalist belief regarding the creation of the universe and it seems to me people have regressed, gotten sillier and very immature. What a shame.
Awww... some one didn't like to read the TRUTH and modded me down. You're saying that blaming Americans for giving up their freedoms while being watched by Scotland Yard makes sense?
IF YOU NEED threads in DOS you can have them, although the only legitimate use for DOS I can think of is to support legacy libraries and old architectures. I have ONE example; I worked for a company that had to use libraries built with Borland C (and not CodeWarrior, I'm talking old-school Borland C, 4.5 I think was the release)), the libraries were required to access a proprietary hardware bus, and the licensing company wasn't updating. But other than scenarios like that, I don't see a good reason for using DOS. If you think you need DOS as a platform for your wizbang neato device, you need to re-think your idea. Even that company was getting ready to release 32 bit shared-libs (yes, moving to a unix-ish architecture) for access to their stupid bus by the time I left. Even if your device idea for some reason requires using a 16 bit processor there are better embedded solutions that you can use now than DOS.
I think a smart move would be to split Mirosoft up into 3 new companies. Microsoft is currently too big and dumb to move quickly. Time to split it up into 3 companies; let Ballmer have the big enterprise contracts, and keep developing windows servers and workstations. He likes playing with the big boys, smoking cigars, and golf. He can have that. Then they need to take the consumer-facing elements and create a consumer oriented company. Tablets, phones, & R&D. Get some new blood in there and let them innovate. Lastly; take the XBox crowd, marketing, and entertainment. Maybe even dip a toe in movie production. Certainly video games. I'd explore splitting Microsoft up as described. Yeah.
Flee from totalitarian dictatorship and everyone's your friend; flee for the same reason but have the dictator(s) say "Oh, he's a rapist" and everyone just turns a blind eye, or worse, helps those dictators capture him. See, words are powerful. They have the power to pull the wool over everyone's eyes.
The US Fed. said to Interpol "Get him for us please, find anything on him." Interpol said to the Swedish Polisen "Ok, the US wants him, find something" The Polisen found a broad with an axe to grind on Assange. End of story.
This attitude assumes that the law and those who create it and enforce it are always on the right side of it and completely above board and beyond any sort of mischief, or worse. An attitude I do not share. I mistrust my government greatly.

Try to convince an old plant manager he needs vpn. Try to explain to him what one is.
How many lives have you saved today my bleeding sweetheart?

Apparently Heinlein never met the MPAA.

I demand an explanation behind that sig.
Why does this have to get changed to be about America?

Ok conformity cop. Shared libs in dos can be made, but statically linked are more common. That's what I meant. Now go play.

Publishing the truth with intent to damage or for malicious purpose can also be libel.
Even when publishing the truth about a group/company/mp/whatever that is causing great harm to people, apparently.
You, sir/madam, are an idiot.

Replace all references in the above to "Britain" and "British" and you have another truth, apparently.
Awww... some one didn't like to read the TRUTH and modded me down. You're saying that blaming Americans for giving up their freedoms while being watched by Scotland Yard makes sense?
Says the brit whose country is PEPPERED with an intrusive, Orwellian, CCTV system. Is "feer" the British spelling?
I would mod this one up if I could. You down-modders are absolutely humorless.

I'm having a hard time sorting the bs from the gems here. Every post is questionable. Thanks /.
