Seperation of church and state means that there should be no incluence of church on the running of government and no influence of government on the running of the church. The complaint here is that forcing people to recite passages which infer a religion onto the state is inappropriate. The absence of a religion in the government does not subract from anyone's beliefs, whereas the imposed belief in "God" does.
Nobody's really pointed out that there's nothing slow about using ctrl x/c/v to do the cut/copy/paste commands. One hand uses the mouse to highlight the text, and the other uses the keyboard to cut/copy/paste.
Step with me here:
Right Hand: Mark.
Left Hand: Ctrl-c
Right Hand: Select Location.
Left Hand: Ctrl-v
Technically more actions, but unless you're doing something very important with your left hand (*cough*) I fail to see how keyboard shortcuts slow you down. Plus you won't paste by accident when you use the mousewheel, and it's a good UI move to force new information into the buffer.
The community has yet to unite and produce their own "1337" open source game. Why don't you save your money, gather up 10-20 talented programmers, artists, etc... and make your own game?
Sure you could release Warcraft into the open source pool, but what would be the return on the original investment? 1337ness?
Freedom for some, miniature american flags for others?
@stake should have the freedom to dismiss him at any time for any reason, and he should have the freedom to quit at any time for any reason.
Maybe your wife is fat. Maybe she knows she's fat. Don't expect her to be happy when you stand up in the mall and preach evils of obesity using her as your example. Stop and think before you speak.
Women can be cruel bitches about stuff like that (at least if being broke happens on a regular basis)
There's more than one problem here. Is she cruel because you married the wrong woman, or is she cruel because you're a lazy insensitive asshole? Why are you broke all the time? Bad with money management? Can't keep a job? Why doesn't she try to make some money?
What you're implying is that she married you for your money and you married her for a nice piece of ass, and now things are falling (have fell) apart. Insulting all women is definitely going to solve your many problems. You're an individual, blame yourself.
1. To me it looks higher than his knees. From this angle, it looks nearly as tall as his ass. Are we assuming that he's 6 ft tall? It might be a bit too low for him, but for someone 5 1/2 feet, it might be perfect to sit on and have a coffee. Maybe it's tall and strong enough to prevent a forklift from falling over the edge, but not too tall to be an eye-sore. You're assuming too much about the the architecture of map without knowing what the site was used for. We're not given enough information.
2. Boxes and barrels can't be larger than people? I've been in wineries with barrels larger than my apartment. I've worked in a wharehouse-type setting that had boxes bigger than people. I think we also had some massive haz-mat barrels there as well with pcb oil from old transformers.
I don't necessarily disagree with your statement that some of the maps take suspension of disbelief (Aztec is a pretty crappy museum/park, and militia has a weird piece of real-estate for a house) but just ignore it. It's a game.
I stand corrected. As another user pointed out, Audio CDs simply have a higher levy. From your first link:
CD-R & CD-RW (non audio): $0.21 per CD
Minidisc / CD-R Audio: $0.77 per CD/Disc
I resume being pissed at Copps. My end-user ignorance made me think I was avoiding a levy, though granted I don't buy that much blank media. All my mp3 music is, ironically, on my internal harddrive which isn't even on the new levy proposal.
Because we pay the levy wether, like myself, you backup the software and programs I write for a living, or copy your friends' CDs, it would make it your duty as a Canadian to copy CDs because you're paying for that right.
Maybe I can help you out here. I was once like you until I saw at Costco (in Canada) a package of blank "Music Cds" next to a package of "Data Cds" (for a substantially lower price, for more volume). Then it occured to me, wow, they can sell basically the same product with "Data" on the label and avoid the levy. I was later able to confirm this here:
Unless we're reading the docs for different versions of Visual Studio (mine is 6.0), you're skimming a little too fast. They say that you can't use/include certain components that they provide in order to sell a product that competes with Excel or Access or Word. These sound perfectly acceptable:
1.2 Documentation. This EULA grants you, as an individual, a personal, nonexclusive license to make and use an unlimited number of copies of any documentation, provided that such copies shall be used only for personal purposes and are not to be republished or distributed (either in hard copy or electronic form) beyond the user's premises and with the following exception: you may use documentation identified in the MSDN Library portion of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT as the file format specification for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, and/or Microsoft PowerPoint ("File Format Documentation") solely in connection with your development of software product(s) that operate in conjunction with Windows or Windows NT that are not general purpose word processing, spreadsheet, or database management software products or an integrated work or product suite whose components include one or more general purpose word processing, spreadsheet, or database management software products. Note: A product that includes limited word processing, spreadsheet, or database components along with other components that provide significant and primary value, such as an accounting product with limited spreadsheet capability, is not considered to be a "general purpose" product.
3.1.3.1 "Jet" Files. If you redistribute the "Jet Files" (as identified in the SOFTWARE PRODUCT) you agree to comply with the following additional requirements: (a) your Licensed Product shall not substantially duplicate the capabilities of Microsoft Access or, in the reasonable opinion of Microsoft, compete with same; and (b) unless your Licensed Product requires your customers to license Microsoft Access in order to operate, you shall not reproduce or use any of the Jet Files for commercial distribution in conjunction with a general purpose word processing, spreadsheet or database management software product, or an integrated work or product suite whose components include a general purpose word processing, spreadsheet, or database management software product except for the exclusive use of importing data to the various formats supported by Microsoft Access. Note: A product that includes limited word processing, spreadsheet or database components along with other components which provide significant and primary value, such as an accounting product with limited spreadsheet capability, is not considered to be a "general purpose" product.
Isn't the point of free software like, say, Linux, that it is free? Even if MS incorporates itself into the University systems, there's nothing stopping individual professors and students from picking up their own tools to do their work.
At worst, this allows students to have exposure to a little more than they might otherwise have. You'll have a difficult time brainwashing everyone when there's a free alternative to try.
The government controls an area of land, and your deed is a subset of that area. You purchased the right to use it indefinitely, but you have to do so in a government-controlled fashion. How much tax you pay is mostly a factor of how much demand there is to use that land by the other citizens. Your "ownership" of that land is nothing like the ownership of a router.
You're taxed for property because your building is on the government's land. They can't tax your usage of a LAN in the same way. Taxing a LAN is like taxing you for every chair you use, even if you build it yourself.
Start is the starting point for your basic actions, like search, programs, configuration, and shutdown. This is where you start telling the computer what you want it to do.
If you want to stop the computer, you press the power button on your case. If you want to tell the computer to shut down, you go to your generic-action starting point.
It's not like you press start and the computer stops. You press start->Shutdown. There's a big difference.
If your job can be replaced so easily and cheaply, then shouldn't you rethink your career? There would appear to be an oversupply of your particular expertise.
From the context I assume that undetected is used in the sense that this is a live system and people are already voting with it. The goal of a hacker after this system goes live is to change the vote numbers without being detected to make their candidate win. If the intrusion is detected the election results
wont be considered valid.
So if she breaks into the system and changes a few things, they would presumably have a backup that they could compare with that wouldn't be the case in a real election.
The article mentions this:
and declares she can put an unauthorized vote anywhere she wants.
Or they could add stipulations to the license agreement that the customer take the software in an as-is sort of way, and that the producer cannot be sued for any bugs that are found. These are not nuclear safety systems (tongue-in-cheek). These are applications to perform tasks, and shit happens. You sometimes get missing pieces in board games, and you sometimes get a faulty wrench. It's up to the consumer to let the company know about these problems, and it's the company's choice to fix them. They'll make a trade-off between the cost of bad publicity/loss of sale, and the cost to fix.
In this case, the company should have had logs that showed what the problem was, and then rectify it. If they can't do that then they lose customer confidence in their ability to preserve game status. Would you sign up on a monthly plan with this server if you thought you'd have to restart every once in a while? On the other hand, this could be a one time thing by a troll. It's not like the article explains anything.
Currently at 88%. Rated PG for mild language and crude humour. Most reviewers are claiming that its for adults and children alike. Cliche, yes, but appropriate for Shrek.
Sure, it's a childrens story, but you can't deny that it is targetted at adults on a level that most children wouldn't understand.
My biggest problem is that I wanted a newbie user-friendly no-hassel install distro. And I wanted it to fit on one CD. I'm cheap and I didn't want to waste CDs to test out a distro. When I looked, Redhat, Mandrake, Suse etc.., all came on more than one CD. Obviously when Linux can be run from a floppy, you don't need that much space if not for all the extras.
The funny part is that Redhat, for instance, you may not need all 3 CDs, depending on what options you choose to install, but there's no clear indication which components come from which CD. If you choose the wrong component, 99% into the install it will ask you for the 3rd CD and then totally crap out if you can't provide it (no option to skip, etc..).
I tried Peanut lunix which is supposed to be user friendly and on one CD, but it wouldn't work with the HD controller on my newest box. It worked on my older machine, but the windows managers were too slow (that machine wasn't connected to the internet, so there were various difficulties in getting a non-standard WM installed).
RedHat's install was by-far the nicest to use (even better than the Windows version I've tried) but I would have liked a single CD version. I haven't looked in a while, so there might be better options that I didn't notice.

There's been no good "shock" story since Marylin Manson got boring to the media. And I'd be surprised if they blamed the twin tower attack on music.
Compare it with:

Because they rhyme. Its very difficult to rhyme with the first few letters.
How about teaching them to read first?

You can't buy entertainment like that.

I assume it applies in Canada, so if you want to avoid the levy, even on music CDs, just buy the ones with the "Data" label.
Cheers.
Well, there's this: LineRunner Which is close enough. Plus some large vans and firetrucks.
