Of course. That doesn't necessarily say the US is unimportant, or the EU is unimportant, but rather that, people have more pressing matters to be concerned with. And really, what in the hell is caring about the EU (or the US) really going to do for you, anyway? It's not as if you really have a worthwhile say in your government, anyway. You have 1/60,000,000 of a say. Maybe. That really doesn't equate to a whole lot of power.
Well, after reading that, I had to sit here a moment and look around vaguely. Then I took a walk down the hallway asking everyone what they thought about the EU. Estimated reaction: "E-what?" 40-some-odd-percent : "Meh *shrug*" (or other) 40-some-odd-percent : "" whatever-is-left-percent.
After I explained how the Euro was beating the snot out of the dollar and fast becoming a world power, responses ranged from "So? I don't care." to "We can still wipe them from the face of the planet" (seemingly dependent on gender).
However, nowhere did I see any wet panties - erotic or otherwise.
I think I'll need to go against my gender response and go with the females on this "So? I don't care." And I don't. Most people don't. Even the ones who say "we can still kick their ass in a war" don't REALLY care. It's a pseudo-salve for their misplaced pride. But I highly doubt anyone is going to be extremely freaked out once the EU becomes really powerful. People just don't give a damn.
Social graces be damned, that's one of the first things you learn in spelling class waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in elementary school! There's no excuse! None! Not even a monkey dancing on your monitor - on fire!
militia Audio pronunciation of "militia" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-lsh)
n.
1. An army composed of ordinary citizens rather than professional soldiers.
2. A military force that is not part of a regular army and is subject to call for service in an emergency.
3. The whole body of physically fit civilians eligible by law for military service.
Also, you just automatically assume that this militia IS the national guard reserves. It doesn't HAVE to be. The national guard is State sponsored; how would that EVER protect us from a tyrranical government? They just fended off one tyrranical government; do you HONESTLY think they would put them in a position to NOT do it again, especially when not one of them was convinced it would even work!?!?!?
It is not constitutionally unsupportable to claim that ordinary citizens have the right to form a militia. It's right in the fucking definition of the word: ordinary citizens.
I don't think you know what a militia is. I suggest you look it up in the dictionary. The military is not a militia. The militia is made up of ordinary people, NOT professional soldiers. Anyone can make a militia. That's the point. If I want to start a non-state-sanctioned militia with a few hundred people, I can, just as long as I'm not breaking any laws in doing so. And then, if the time ever comes when a: we are invaded or b: the government turns tyrannical, THEN we can protect "the security of a free State".
Not necessarily loaded. Obviously a correlation can be drawn that they want you to use IE, but one could also come to the conclusion that they want you to use Opera just as easily. I guess it depends what "alternate" browser is on your mind at the moment.
I think he was referring more to a Lineage II model, where you download the game for free and then pay the monthly fee for it.
Seriously, 9 out of 10 people throw the box they bought the game in away anyway. And I'd much rather have the game for free download (especially on a Steam-like platform) than have to go to the store and get the thing in a box - as if that is somehow worth it.
I'm actually not so sure it was emailed. At the beginning, in the article, they state a few times over that it was mailed to an address.
Down at the bottom, where it says how he did it, it says "That program instructs the computer to grab photos from the video camera - up to five stills per second - and then send them over the internet to a webpage where they are stored for viewing." They may not be emailed at all - this just might be some stupid journalist (or journalist dumbing things down for the stupid reader) "helping" to explain how it happened.
I checked out your page. If you click "yes", it sends you to a page not to download IE, which, from the tone of your post, I expected it to do, but instead informed the user on the steps necessary to disable the Password Manager. This isn't pro-MS propaganda, this is pro-security information.
No, no, thank God for you, sir! The world needs more people to say that it is okay to talk to strangers, accept candy from people you don't know, and get in the back of unmarked vans for a video game! Please, continue your most noble work of promoting irresponsible parenting!
And I would imagine that just hearing their love one's voices, even if it was few seconds delayed, would more than make up for the irritation and not being able to have a long conversation.
From what I've been able to ascertain, at least through our company, we had to be at least CMMI Level 3 certified before we (continued) to gain new government contracts.
I don't have a phone, that's the point. Why pay 25$ a month for local service only when I can get unlimited long distance anywhere in the US and Canada for the same price on VoIP? It makes no sense.
Sure, you could, if you live in a city area. As it is right now, I have only one option: Atlantic Broadband. There is no DSL and, well, frankly, regular phone lines are just not going to cut it for VoIP (nevermind that having a phone line essentially defeats the entire purpose).
I agree that, in all probability, most (if not all) will be safe from litigation. However, I still don't feel comfortable with that axe hanging over my head, even if it is firmly bolted to the ceiling.

I was being facetious :P
Of course, at some time countries would stop lending, but I can't imagine that happening in the near future (barring any catastrophe).
Why the hell would they ever stop? What are we going to do, leave town?

oh goddammit, I can't do anything right.
I'm going back to bed.
and I forgot my <br>'s :(

Of course they can't; I'm not so sure anything other than a few million could. But it's a fuck of a lot better than throwing rocks.

VB is never appropriate amongst geeks. We know what it is, but we dare not speak of it.
Now put that down and go wash your hands! Go!

Why were you working on a Flash graphic in Dreamweaver? O.o
