You know what? I don't give a damn! If these quite peace loving Muslims can't or won't address their own public image by chastising the renegades that put their cult in bad light, then they deserve to let the West address the problem for them. Shit or get off the pot. Take a stand. Draw a line in the sand. But above all, make it known loud and clear that we aren't going to take their violent intolerance any more.
If they won't acknowledge their brethren, by God they will listen to the rest of the civilized nations on planet Earth.
Exactly. When you're waiting on that movie to download or webpage to load, you now have more time to drink more beer. So with economies of scale and all that, beer becomes cheaper!!! See? I figured it all out didn't I?. I knew I did.
Because it's a learning experience. In the case of an American, it's a first hand lesson of what happens when you give way to absolute authoritarian control. It also makes you feel really sorry for the SOBs and can only wish they wake up from their living nightmare. And in time, perhaps they will. All you can do in the mean time is show your support for a better life along with some enlightenment for those who are willing to listen.
When you travel abroad, you shouldn't be breaking the local laws. It's not so much out of respect of the host nation regardless of the legitimacy of the government in question, but rather for your own protection. If you don't wish to risk getting into trouble, I would advise anyone not to travel at all outside their home country.
If for any reason you don't agree with the host's laws. Too bad. Let the diplomats and politicians work out it. As a civilian, it's not your job so please don't make it so. Again, if you feel that you can't maintain self-control because of conflicting values, it's best if you do not travel. Protest at home if you must, just not over there. And if you decide too anyways, you're on your own as far as I'm concerned.
Now if we as a nation were in engaged in war. Screw it, their laws don't mean shit anyways;)
This! Word of advice for anyone traveling abroad. Smile (fake it if you have too) and say thank you. But whatever you do, don't get on law enforcements shit list for you are a foreigner in foreign land.
Granted. Maps sucks IMHO. Wish Google Maps was back on. Instead iPhone users get a shitty TomTom app with a nifty 3D feature.
However... We are talking about Apple that's close to being the first 1 Trillion dollar company. They will throw money at the problem. They might even purchase their own freaking drones and vehicles to make it happen. But yes, for now they have some catching up to do.
And that's why I decided to go with iPhone. The Droid is nothing more than the PC reincarnated into a mobile device. There are too many make, model, and pre-installed software permutations that make the whole Droid experience more like a cobbled together frankenstein...that works half the time when you really need it in a pinch.
Typically most drivers don't re-inflate the tires themselves. This is usually done when getting the next oil change or taking a trip to the dealership. But yes, it does require those pesky warning lights to grab their attention and remind them.
Where this technology really has a benefit would be for 18 wheelers like the article states. Living in Houston, I constantly see blown tire tread all curled on the highways. It's a port city, so the level of 18 wheeler traffic is to be expected. But the problem is when tire pressure is low. This generates a lot of heat (in an already hot and humid city) and shortens the life of the tire. Eventually it breaks down and disintegrates all over the public road ways causing a life hazard for other motorists. Tire tread is a lot of mass to be hitting at 65 to 70 MPH. If it doesn't cause you to wreck, at the very least it will cause major cosmetic damage to the front bumper's plastics.
With all the construction and building going on in Houston, you would think it could be the next "New York" of America. I've lived in Texas for over 30 years. Most of it in Houston. Just in the last five years alone traffic has sky rocketed along with rent and in some cases, housing too. People are flocking all over the US just to come live in Houston. It's not the wealthiest of cities, but it does provide solid employment with a low cost of living. At this rate, that won't last long at all.
Dense population or low cost of living. Pick two. You can't have both.
Functionally he was a soldier, but per the 3rd Geneva Convention article 4 he wasn't as he didn't fulfill all the requirements to meet the definition.
4.1.2 Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, provided that they fulfill all of the following conditions: that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates; that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance (there are limited exceptions to this among countries who observe the 1977 Protocol I); that of carrying arms openly; that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
That's a lot of sand out there in the Middle East. They're just itching to have it turned into glass. Arn't they? It's sad to see a train wreck happening in slow motion between Islam and the West. No, as an American, we will *not* fall on the Islamic sword for their barbaric ass-backwards way of life.
The Islamic community do not want their women to be educated. To legislate education might actually be disrespectful if not blasphemes to their religion.
A BBC wouldn't work in the US. Since the founding of our nation, we've never truely had any non-biased national news. Be it from the printing press or broadcasted over the airwaves. Blame it on culture if you will. But here in America, the "media" is the official unofficial mouth piece of the Democratic Party. Only recently in modern history was there a pronounced hunger for a conservative POV that Fox News came along and filled the vacuum. You could say that Fox News is also the official unofficial mouth piece of the Republican party. But if you try and setup a national news network owned and operated by the Federal Government, I guarantee you that it would be the "official" mouth piece of the Democratic party.
I've been reminded that there are two types of people in this world. Those who want to be involved in others lives and those whom do not. Reporting the news is simply not as fun as being a part of it. So there you go. That's where the bias comes into play.
did you know that really big corporate clients get unlimited data on the iPhone (well, probably any phone) for $20/mo? Strange but true.
No, I did not know that. But why not? If they have a big corporate contract, they're probably paying a crap load of money per month anyways of recurring revenue. Those are contracts you simply do not want to let go of. Unlimited data is just throwing them a bone.
No other nation has a many guns and ammo per capita than the United States of America. Who the hell knows what will truely happen when the bottom falls out. But one thing is for sure, the aftermath will leave America as we know it dead with a new set of laws and culture to replace it. A cultural revolution if you will to a system of anarchy. When an entire state and federal government fails you, just who do you trust? Why bother? Those are the questions that will be asked by millions of American's post revolution.
Sort of like capturing a high profile Taliban fighter so they can be prosecuted in civil court?! Screw that. One bullet on the battlefield saves lives and spares the tax payer the extra expense. Also, they don't have to risk the bastard re-joining his group upon release.
In no particular order. Vipre, Trend Micro WFB, and Symantec Endpoint are all good products. Everything else is a crapshoot. And stay the hell away from McAfee. That shit will eat your servers alive! (no really, blocks registry write backs from most legit software including Windows Updates)
Depends on the hardware and feature set. Often GPU technology includes quite a bit of cross pollinated intellectual property (patented) that can't be released to the open. Also the manor in which the GPUs are programmed provide a key advantage that nVidia and AMD do not want to reveal. It's one thing to sell high performance silicon, it's quite another to have trade secrets that optimize it really well.

They say books should never be burned. Well, there's always an exception to the rule. It's fucking infectious malware for the human brain.
You you just virtualize an OS that virtualizes an OS that virtualizes an OS and so on and so forth. Eventually, I'm sure you'll get there.

If it's going to be expensive, might as well grow it with an artificial pattern such as houndstooth.

Sweet Jesus I hope I'm wrong.
They're called American dynasties. I'll take your Bush's and raise you the Kennedy's.
Other top American political dynasties include the Astor's, Barrymore's, Daley's, Daschle's, Rockefeller's, and plenty of others.

My guess is that he's snorting some really good shit and not sharing with the rest of us.
