Hasn't anyone realized that most institutions care more about our tuition money than our grades/performance? I mean, our GPA isnt on that $80,000 peice of paper is it? Couldn't I just take out an $80,000 loan and trade that for a peice of paper that says I went to school for; but have no experience doing (insert area of study here)?
Since this release, NASA stated that the pressure has been stablized yet they have no idea as to why the pressure was dropping in the first place. Dont you think they should figure that shit out soon? If i was up there, I'd be alittle nervous.
The way I look at is this:
If the domain name posted in the game was unregistered, then boo on UBIsoft for not securing it prior to the release of the game.
I dont see how it is this fellas responsibility to adhere to any laws since this domain name was registered prior to the game release.
Since this game is played by minors, then the ultimate responsibility lays with the parents to control what their children are exposed to.
I would have done the same thing; although, i dont know about the porn...
Seasons of Wither...@ 300 baud. WOW...now those were the days...when computers cost $3400 and you really, in retrospect...couldnt do a damn thing with them. My, are we spoiled now.
Well, if the machine could sense sweat then I suppose we have another medium for virii to be transmitted...sure..you go to the bank, take out some money using your fingerprint as ID...then you wipe your eyes..and BANG! you got Pink Eye.
Another thing..perhaps more important...
What if it was MANDITORY to have a biometric device or similar installed in your hand. Without it, you couldnt buy food, gas, clothes...anything... I for one do not like that possibility.. And I dont want to hear anyone scream about the Bill of Rights...the US government has done fucked up things to its citizens in the past and it will do it again.

A few days later, I get a call from this company asking me to go down for an interview. We set it up for 10:00 am the following Tuesday.
I arrive at 9:30 am on the day for an interview and took a seat as instructed. The office was a 1200 Sq Ft shop located in a shared office building. It looked as if someone went on a rage and destroyed everything. Boxes, cables, hardware and coffee cups were everywhere. The reception desk looked as if someone was murdered on it. I looked around for a taped outline of a human being.
After an hour's wait; a very pissed off job seeker was called in. I met the president of the company and walked (I had to step over things) into the little conference room that they had.
He gave me the run down on the job. He spoke much like an inept monkey so I imagined he was the one who wrote the posting.
After all was said and done, we talked about $$$. He asked me what I was looking for and I gave him a figure. Approx $45,000 USD. I figured with network administration, custom database development matched with my skills; I guessed this was reasonable.
His face almost ripped from his head and ran away. He got all flustered and told me that no one in the industry makes that kind of money for what the job requirements state.
Not wanting to strangle this guy for getting loud with me, I diffused the situation and asked him what he was offering. He told me $28,785 USD per year. It was at this point that I almost fell off my chair.
Seeing that this job wasn't worth it; I laced into him for wasting my time. I told him that I was more qualified to hire people than he was and that if he, in rare circumstance, could find someone to do the job for 28k; it was certainly going to be shitty work.
He asked me to leave ( ROFL ) so on my way out I told him to clean up his office and go back to school and that his job posting is an insult to educated and experienced IT professionals.
In retro-spect, it may not have been such a good idea to lay into him the way I did; however, it was obvious to me that place was a joke, and he was looking to take advantage of an employer's market and a pool of employees that are in need of work.
Ok, im in..where's my American Express Card
If someone read the fine print; I got the impression that the mission is only for 60 days...does that mean the sat's functionality is limited to 60 days?
This is all good and plenty..but I want my own manned mission to the moon.
Lets look at the facts...using computer technology less equivable to a Ti85 Calculator, NASA flew 3 men to the moon and back safely. Sure they had unlimited budget but look at the leaps we have made in technology.
A privately funded moon mission would be the mother of vacations for a private citizen. We could even time it so there can be a Sinus Aestuum Terra-Eclipse. We can have paintball fights across hundreds of kilometers on the Mare Vaporum.
I wonder what the going rate would be for a holiday package like that?
Yea! Sign me up also. I'll provide a copy of picture ID and an admission of 'guilt' form. Along with a copy of the 'KISS MY ASS' form.
The only one guilty are here are the bastards who make us think that their business is the only one in decline. Forget the fact of overpriced CDs...but...everyone's business is in somewhat of a decline. People need more money to buy gasoline so they resist the MTV inspired need to run out and get a CD containing songs from a no-talent moron.
I suppose we should be concerned.
They might develop an OS that will:
1) Attack a deep water port.
2) Attempt to take over the world.
3) Run kids over with tanks.
4) Supress the truth.
5) (China Only) Use the profits to finance a massive disinformation compaign. (Including 'political re-education classes')
Be afraid, be very afraid.
I never said we were better then anyone. That must be your own inferiority complex acting up again. While my country has its faults, ignorant leaders and rediculous attributes; its still a great country, unrivaled in many areas.
I'm sure some people would agree that we dont have the best system, but it still works better then most. Not too bad for a colony that split off over 220 years ago
Perhaps its jealousy. Sure, we have enough freedom to travel state to state without showing papers every 100 miles. We can talk about the idiots that make the laws without fear of getting shot or thrown in a castle tower. Heck, we can even burn the American Flag and get away with it.(Which is bullshit by the way)
I hear alot about how many people think Americans are all rich. I can assure you that this is not the case. The lot of us have deadend jobs, over-extended lines of credit and insurance.
You should minimize your pollution contribution by placing a pillow over your mouth and holding it there until the lights go out. Until then, im going to run my oversized SUV with open headers and a dirty air filter.
The only moron in here is you pal. Calling someone a moron for stating the obvious is simply ignorance. I hit you with a rubber hose and call you my woman.
I used to work for a software company and it was POLICY not to release all bugs in the code unless it directly effected the operational status of the program. It would be safe to assume that this is a standard industry practice.
In other words jackhole; Its like selling a used car that looks great, has low miles and new engine, yet the rear door lock is broken and cannot be locked.
*Question...why is it that Anonymous Cowards, always have the most smack to rap? Fools such as yourself should be identified so we can keep our kids away from you so they dont become stupid.
America is divided into two continents.
North America & South America.
Each continent has numerous countries. I.E. USA, Canada for the north; Chile, Columbia for the south to name a few.
The United States of America IS a country. Perhaps we (Americans) call our country 'America' because we see fit not to say the full name. I had a ridiculous argument with some fool who forgets that, in American English we tend to overuse idioms, abbreviations, and just flat-out verbal laziness; which I feel is one of the givens of being American.
As far as Europe goes, I was taught in Geography that Europe is a continent with many countries contained; however, looking at the EU, it seems more & more the truth that Europe is moving towards a form of unification that could make Europe a country with all governments dissolved into one with a central leadership.
I know, put on your tin foil hat and ready the conspiracy repellent, but does anyone else see what I'm talking about?
One currency (EURO)
One useless pseudo government (United Nations)
What's next?

braindead American tourists.

I would consider that an unfounded statement as the United States of America didn't become the most powerful country on Earth by being 'braindead'
Oh... non-manufacturer batteries are bad for the phone? And silly me thought that having a RF transmitter by my skull didnt send RF into the brain doing who knows what....
Regards, we will all use our cellphones as they will (along with a pack-a-day smoking habit) will undoubtably remove the last 10 (albeit, diaper wearing) years off our lives.
I can see how short sited you are. It is not a matter of winning in a situation such as the one you proposed; what matters is the attempt.
Asides from that fact that our government lies to us and takes advantage of mass-logic and perception, I will die to defend my rights.
The masses in the US are not as stupid as everyone thinks. This country can pull together when it wants too, and if in fact an obvious tyrannical system evolves, then im confident that the US will act accordingly.
BEWARE!! I can see it now...a huge market of exploitable college kids blowing what little money they have on beer and music...err yea right....we steal beer when we can and download music as if its going out of style.(wait a minute)
Now if the bursar wants to pick up the tab, I say go for it. Our tuition is high enough..how about alittle ROI?
