I think it is an abomination against man and nature. I would like to see Microsoft erased from the planet.
That said, I have a Windowze piece of shite at work and I've done what the article describes and I've only lost 3 pointers, and they were off the tail end. furthermoer, I back it up enough that it doesn't matter.
Heck - just MAKE some ID. Invent a school. "Iceberg college" located in Teptula, Motana. Print it up all nice on thick paper and laminate it. Done. IT will take you a few hours, and save you hundreds of dollars. The stores don't bother checking. Just show your ID. As long as it has your picture on it, you're good as far as the knuckle-dragging idiot at Best Buy us concerned.
Raise your hand if you regularly use a VCR these days, too.
Raise your hand if you bother watching TV any more. I stopped years ago. If there is anything I want to see, I just DL it when I want to.

Now, how is anyone's life worse off for being denied exposure to the above noted programs? I'm fine. I'm happy, I'm living a rich and colourful life. And I don't watch any of that crap - not on NBC, CBS, or ABC or even PBS. And I'm certainly not going to pay some cable company the privilege to watch TV commercials.
Do yourself a favour. Get rid of your set. If you MUST see something, watch it online. Otherwise - go find something else to do with your time than waste it in front of the idiot box.
You're not cooking it right. Tilapia is like Tofu. It doesn't have a lot of flavour of its own, so you season it or use it in a sauce that gives it flavour.
Eating Orange Roughy is a VERY bad idea - they are not a resilient species, are very slow to mature, and if we keep eating them they will go extinct, and quickly.
Every time I see some stupid fucking douchebag barking into his cellphone, or some giggle brained bleeth yammering into her iPhone, I curse the gods for not letting me be able to fire rockets or RPGs at those stupid fucks as they blunder their way down the highway and endangering the lives of the rest of us with their inattention and sense of entitlement.
And what will these eel eat? Oh, that's right - fish. Which have to be caught and then fed to the eels...
Salmon farm fishing is a disaster. Shrimp are not much better. I don't know how the tilapia production is fairing. Tilapia are not predators like salmon, so I imagine it might be better, but I have no idea.
Maybe this has already been invented. I mean, you can probably imagine it. There could be "resource tokens", perhaps small circles made out of metal and printed with a special design that indicated their value? I suppose they'd have to be pretty hard to copy. Maybe it would be better to use specially-treated pieces of paper.
It's called rationing combined with.... CITIZENSHIP!!!
Yes, if people understand that they are all in it together and need to sacrifice together to prevent a Mad Max scenario, their sense of citizenship comes to the fore and they agree to rationing. The problem is one of class - will the ruling class be willing ot also follow rationing? If not, then expect the poor to revolt, eat the rich, and then each other, and bang: Mad Max.
The success of the coming transition in civilisation hinges on the ruling elites willingness to take a major hit in their lifestyle over the next three or four generations so that the fifth, sixth and so on generations will have a sufficiently stratified civilisation to maintain their presence as an elite. If they decide, as the present events seem to indicate, that the ruling elite would rather hold onto their Lear Jets and jillion dollar bonuses, then, no: the society is sufficiently fucked and will collapse. First into a fascism, then into a patchwork of regional warlords and then into a Mad Max situation of all against all.
We must eradicate the notion of taxpayer. Taxpayers are not citizens. citizens work together for the common good. Taxpayers are consumers: they consume government services for a price. And every consumer wants the same thing: something for nothing. A taxpayer seeks the minimum tax for the maximum services. This always leads to a looting of the treasury and a failed state. Technically, if you took IMF / WorldBank guidlines, California is a failed state. The USA is not long behind.
We need citizens willing to work hard and sacrifice their luxuries so their descendants won't have to sacrifice their lives. Thermodynamics is a bitch.
But his point ignores the structural facts of government which distinguish it from other social systems, especially in a democratic context, which he and you both blithely ignore and elide, in a typical libertarian fashion.
The level of exclusive control is an irrelevance if it is the consent and will of the people, however the people choose to express that will and consent.
There is more than one kind of freedom. I would recommend you read Isaiah Berlin on that.
I explained in VERY clear detail why he was wrong, and HOW he was a libertarian troll. He gets marked insightful, I get marked flamebait.
Fuck. You. Dickwad. Nothing like paying attention. Just because you disagree with my position doesn't mean I'm writing flamebait, and just because I call someone out as a troll does not make me flame bait.
It's just one that most of us are willing to tolerate, because we feel that it would be in our best interests.
And the whole point of a democractic form of govt is that you are supposed to have an active and educated citizenry who take their civic duties seriously and make sure that the government THEIR government, the government that is FOR the people and BY the people does what the people require. At the same time, the government, as democracy, is a tool of the public will, and therefore acts in the interests of the commonweal. Governments, specifically democratic forms (parliamentary, republic, anarchist communes, whatever) are NOT monopolies like corporations can be/are. When corporations are democratically organised, where the CEO, CTO, CFO, etc. are ELECTED by the workforce of the company, then you can start comparing them. Until then, you're just another libertarian troll.
No doubt this is the last we will ever hear...

I pulled an 1180. I should have done a lot better - my pretests we all around 1300 - 1400. I figured - heck that was easy, so I dropped a shitload of acid and was tripping my butt off the whole time. My pencil kept melting.I had a kneadable eraser and when I pulled on that thing - damn - I lost a solid 20 minutes just stretching that thing around. Then I panicked, and instantly there was this smelly horde of bats hovering on my right shoulder, making fun of me like they were a bunch of greasers... "YO RALPH! The answer to question 10 is PINOCHLE MOTHERFUXOR!!! SNOW IS VAGUE! SO IS TUESDAY!!!! Come on man touch your dick. Your dick itches man. Do it now. who cares what people think - you gotta scratch your itch and your DICK ITCHES!" And crap like that. Cuz my dick didn't itch. They were just fuckin with me. Stupid bats.
Damn. 1180's not so bad, so I didn't bother retaking it. I still got into the university of my choice.
Learned a big lesson, though. Purple Microdot can be pretty sketchy stuff, and its all SETTING.
Throw the horsie some sugar cubes! Oh LOOK! It's all PAISLEY!!!
Do not expect the work to come to you. If the work is in Silicon Valley, go there. If it is in New York, go there. If it is fucking Calcutta, go there.
Hell - I'd love to have a tatrachrome vision palette. Heck - I'd go for infrared, UV, even radio would be cool. Now, how I would "understand" these new "colours" (which like other colours are simply ranges of EM frequency) is beyond me, especially given as how my brain didn't evolve to decode them. But it would still be totally k3vvL in my book.
Infrared could be very cool. Especially looking at this girl who's often on my homebound bus ride...
or any other bunch of capitalist parasites. But I should like to take this moment to say to the people reading this who are monitoring this site for the Chinese Government, these few simple words:

So - does MS deserve to be hit an asteroid? Yes.
Does this problem exist? Not for me.
Heck - just MAKE some ID. Invent a school. "Iceberg college" located in Teptula, Motana. Print it up all nice on thick paper and laminate it. Done. IT will take you a few hours, and save you hundreds of dollars. The stores don't bother checking. Just show your ID. As long as it has your picture on it, you're good as far as the knuckle-dragging idiot at Best Buy us concerned.

Then any three letters could be a word, as long as it has a real meaning.
Ugh. Idiocracy, indeed.
Wrong. Game Over. Read the transcript.
It was clearly Murder.
The military treating civilians like targets in a game.
NOT that you can fuck it - again - see the real doll site for perfectly fuckable pieces of plastic.
The REAL question is: Does she swallow? That takes sensitivity, judgment, timing, and a willingness to hoover baby batter.

OK, no computers? So, No iphone? No Crackberry? No emergency transpoder in his car? No calculator? No video camera? No Digital Audio Converter? WTF?
Why settle for the lesser evil?

This will start a death spiral for Rapidshare. On to megaupload, depositfiles, mediafire, etc...

Nhhhnnngngngngnggggnnnn...
Kindly go fuck yourself.
What does China make for Google?
Phones that run Android, a peripheral part of their business, i.e., not much.
MS is hip deep in China. I would expect MS to eventually provide the Chinese Govt a special version of BING for them...
