It's not impossible that the oil spill is actually beneficial for the sea life in that area. As it was in the Persian gulf or as it is over in Chernobyl.
If the oil / pollutions mean humans will fish less in the area chances are life with spire rather than the opposite.
Humans themselves may have a bigger impact than their waste and toxins.
As long as you live by religions forcing marriages with only one partner or arranged marriages maybe.
Out in the real world there that isn't the case however some men get more sex than others. And hence a scarcity for pussy arrived among the less successful males.
Though I mostly thought about a fixed price. As in, as it worth to shag this guy for a piece of bread? Maybe not. Would I do it for a month in my apartment? Definitely. And so on;d
but because women who do not subscribe to the artificial scarcity model threaten to devalue pussy for all women
I can see how this affect them, since then only having a pussy won't take you that far. Maybe you need to provide other benefits aswell.
But personally that's not my biggest problem, my biggest problem is that I as a man don't like slutty women. Why? Is it because of the competition? Deceases? The risk of having to provide for someone else children? Losing her for someone else?
In a world there I could have sex with no obligation I assume much of that would had been solved, maybe I just need to live that way..
I'm the better man so I don't fuck sluts?
the thing about currency is that one dollar spends just as well as any single other dollar. sex does not work this way. sex with a beautiful woman would not be as "current" (spendable) as sex with an old fat sow.
Got me thinking about Greece, the euro and dollars and so on.. Devaluation wouldn't work in the comparison so this is mostly for fun but I don't want to look racist. So don't take it too serious:
Well, nature has solved this for us aswell. Sex with a woman from Greece for instance would had added hair into the equation. (I don't carry this too far though since there's probably a lot of fat chicks in the US..)
I doubt you get them from using the phone, rather some free apps?
But yeah, ads in apps much be pretty annoying, though I may rather have ads than pay. But Apple shareware usually have a quite hefty price for basic functionality, which is rather annoying. Back in the Amiga days, in Windows and more so in the open OSs one are so used to get functionality and tweaks for free.
But for some reason everything must cost money in the Apple world.
Want iTunes controls in your menu bar? Better pay. And so on.
Well, the issue was open-source advantages vs disadvantages?
I don't see how being able to check the source for issues is a disadvantage, but yeah, not being able to build the software yourself to fix the bug is one. But if they want it fixed they can inform Microsoft. Done.
If they just want to use the source code to look for exploitable code then they wouldn't be likely to inform Microsoft no matter what.
If anything this scenario makes it MORE likely that they inform Microsoft because if they want it fixed it's their only solution. So not doing so risk their own systems to.
I doubt the NSA is like "oh but we can't make anything we release of our own tooo good, it must be full of flaws so we can still exploit others."
But whatever, some people will most likely argue they are.
Imho finding them / being aware of them would be an advantage, regardless of what's happening, atleast as far as the open-source model goes.
For them to be exploited by others, yeah, but I guess in the government cases they most likely see it as an advantage to be aware of them..
I think it's hard to argue that still being exploitable and have the flaw but not being able to tell because you haven't got the source would be worse.
And I thought being able to look for flaws was an advantage, maybe even so than having the maintainer accept any fixes or whatever.
And I assume Microsoft would want to fix things if people reported them in.
Yeah, the Pidgin people is pretty annoying as far as webcam support goes. Though understandable and it's their time and project so.. Jabber video may not be really there yet.
aMSN should run on all platforms, though the old version is kinda scrapped waiting for the new one.
I don't know if there's any way to use webcam over ICQ in Linux.
Looks like Qnext does video, and it's JAVA, atleast if I remember correctly.
But yeah, Skype is convenient, it works where noone else seem to have succeeded, and it's simple to use. Just suck arse that it's proprietary software and protocols (and servers? To the extent they are used.)
One would had believed Google would had thrown out an alternative which was just as good really fast. Maybe with a client in Android to. And hopefully based on standards.
You know what would be neater? Something not based on a proprietary system, and there are plenty. (Though it could be argued whatever things like SIP is as good.)
They don't let banks cheat and collapse the country like in the US where everyone must get the latest HDTV, big cars and just spend money on non-important items and entertainment.
They most likely will / do, as soon as they can.
Unless their government will regulate it. I assume foreign banks will be more than willing to lend them money..
I haven't checked the benchmarks but normally the latest version catch up quite well with the one it's replacing, and yeah, eventually catches the lead. But that most likely only last until someone else update their version so it doesn't matter much to me.
Some though are simply slower more or less the whole time, and Chrome usually ends up at top most of the times. Which is good enough for me.
I'm sure Chrome will pass Opera again if it has lost its lead atm.
And I rather have a decent surfing experience, as in switch tabs, open new ones with new pages, close them or end the whole browser session, restart the browser and have it respond as soon as I've launched it even if it loads tabs in the background, have it play youtube videos while using another tab and such than have it score 10% faster in rendering some java-script crap in a single tab.
Why should I care about a non-extensible browser that does some artificial benchmarks a millisecond faster? Not trolling, I'm trying to figure out what practical benefit Opera has for its users.
I don't have an answer there.
But the browser which does the artificial benchmarks fastest is most likely Chrome.
However in real-life I think Opera and maybe the IE9 beta (atleast some article claimed something about it..) may be better candidates.
Reasoning being that Chrome may be faster with one tab running on it's own but since each tab is a process I assume it takes up a little more resources making others eventually catch up in the long run when used as most people use their browser.
Eventually that may be wrong though in case Chrome simply stops its hidden tabs from executing and others doesn't.
You don't have to care.
I care about Opera news since I believe it's the best browser, eventually together with Chrome which I can't say I have used.
Safari 4 has become waaaay better than Safari 2 though, but then Safari 2 sucked balls. Most likely more than even IE6.
Firefox feels very slow imho, not in benchmarks but then actually using it with multiple tabs and so on.
Sure they may waste billions, get a few percents of the population unemployed or mess up something else.
And then what? Nothing.
I can understand it in some cases but in others it's just fucking poor management. Like building crap no-one wanted (they built a wooden bridge over the road for instance, so people wouldn't use the pedestrian crossing with red-lights. Yeah, great idea! Except it's 2.5-3 times the distance, the stairs gets full of snow (and most likely slippery as fuck since this is Sweden and ice+wood may not mix well) and how the fuck are old people supposed to get up there?
Other occasions is for instance restoration and repairs of buildings there they haven't followed up what was actually done and hence paid a lot with someone else money for work which haven't been done. And they also do the purchases by comparing prices which make companies offer impossible low hour wages for the work but then they charge for waaay more hours when they spent at the place instead and hence get the work, a decent pay but well, cost much more then might had been necessary.
Being irresponsible with OTHERS money and jobs suck. And in such cases I wouldn't be against they being personally responsible and have to repay the money they lost from their own pocket since they fucked up.
Some other cases may be harder though, such as say if you don't end up with the best supplier or something such, or whatever this and that repair/rebuild "was necessary."
Sure you may show what you want with your vote but eventually it don't affect the people involved (as in not personal elections), things don't come up to the surface, it's just one small issue in the bigger issue which don't change what you want to vote for and so on.
Over here in Sweden the leaders of Swedbank which lend people in Latvia money stayed in the company, eventually at other positions, because they are still looked upon like the people which should be best in handling the situation.
Even though they failed..
Weird how it works.
"I wrote IE6 so I've got experience in web browser programming!", not that it's even close.. Should most likely say "I wrote the driver which gave Bill Gates an BSOD during his presentation when connecting his scanner."
"It fails at football so can it succeed in economics?"
Uhm, what?
I assume the later is somewhat more predictable. I don't see why there would be a contradiction. And I don't really see why it matters much for normal people either.
Regarding banks and strategies I think the Europe line of saving money rather than spending them to fuel more economic growth is better now. I can understand how China and India want the later, countries like USA will borrow more money to spend on among other things a faster market buying items from China which can catch up faster _AND_ with money they have lend to the US. If the rest of the world would spend less then the catch up of China and India would take longer time.. So..
Don't really know why USA want to followed their line though, maybe it's just an example of what they always want to do. Freer market, more capitalism, hope for the best.
(And hence I assume the "omg it doesn't matter if they are right or wrong you'll get squashed by the lawyer charges alone anyway" is less of an issue over here.)
Having sex with a 13 year old may not count as pedophilia.
You may get prosecuted for rape of a children if you have sex with someone younger than fifteen in Sweden though.
But that's just some random age used, just as 18 may be in the US, and have nothing with pedophilia to do, but rather the protecting young people from being abused or tricked into scenarios they may not have wanted to end up in. Or something such.
The rape part is pretty new, but nowadays I think it's considered rape by default so to speak, you don't have to actually have "raped" the child, the child being a child is enough for having it considered rape.

More importantly:
77 times the recommended safety limits for infants? 1200 for adults?
Screw the infants, WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE GROWN-UPS!?!

Maybe BP is working on a solution?
I'm predicting some holocaust predictor will go nuts and kill us all.
Atleast he'll be the first one being right!
"... told you so!" *evil grin*
All I see is SCO clearly copied Linux! ;D
Or maybe he's the one who got screwed?
so there is no shortage of pussy
As long as you live by religions forcing marriages with only one partner or arranged marriages maybe.

Oh, the allmighty yen! ;D
Agreed, but it's got thousands of years track record.
So why not base/fix the currency on sex?

So, you're people saying their society works? =P
Damn, Bush must have burned you well :D
Budget:
revenues: $2.104 trillion
expenditures: $3.52 trillion (2009 est.)
Current account balance:
-$419.9 billion (2009 est.)
Defense Budget: $515,400,000,000 [2009]
So with less military spending you could have loaned 1/3 less money .. Or covered up your whole negative account balance.
Public debt:
52.9% of GDP (2009 est.)
country comparison to the world: 47
39.7% of GDP (2008 est.)
Debt - external:
$13.45 trillion (30 June 2009)

Perhaps, but who cares?
Opera, because if their users notice less sites work they will leave.
Let those sites break.
I agree.
Sites should display identically on every browser
Impossible, and imho not necessary, but I'm not into the teh-interwebs-is-an-application-shit.
and adhere to all standards
You can use standards and still break things. Since an old browser don't support the latest standards. Eventually one reason to check the version.
not utilizing any browser qwirks.
Agreed.
If they don't they are badly designed pages
Or the opposite, not designed sources of Information.
plain and simple. It's not the browser's responsibility to compensate for an incompetent web developer.
True.
Same goes for politics.
Where are their responsibility?
Sure they may waste billions, get a few percents of the population unemployed or mess up something else.
And then what? Nothing.

Since he talks about Ukraine is that really foreign soviet unions area and not Russia's? Or does he mean edging?
Because of course it was even bigger in the Soviet days, but the difference can't have been much.
We don't have the difference in Sweden.
