...the Xbox 360, including photos of the machine and peripherals was featured on MSNBC, CNN, FoxNews, and TechTV (or whatever techtv is calling themselves.)
My father worked with a guy who was a foster parent, the girl he was the guardian of was 14 or 15, I forget. She tried to force her way out of the vehicle to spend time with some little thug, my father's co-worker grabbed her by the only thing he could get a hold of, her thigh to keep her from getting out of the car. She screams rape, and he's serving the last bit of a 12 year sentance in a Michigan State Prison, on a bullshit charge.
Another example. My girlfriend's brother lives with their father who has a wife that has 3 kids from a previous marriage. The 12 year old daughter told the department of child services that my girlfriend's brother molested her, (even though he didn't), and now he has to register everywhere he goes as a registered sex offender. EVEN the social worker testified that in his opinion the little girl was lying just to get attention.
Sex offender laws are good in theory, but too many people are overly eager to jump the gun and get the conviction without having all the facts.
Last I checked, stealing was illegal. They achieved the possessions in question thru illicit means, so if someone steals something when it wasn't theirs in the first place, I don't see how he has a right to complain.
Despite your opinions of Republicans, true Republicans don't make religion their agenda, and that's an assumption on your part. To assume that all republicans are fundimentalist bible-thumpers, is not only misinformed, it's just as ignorant as the the people you condemn.
This bill, signed into law, has nothing to do with religion. It's simply a matter of right vs. wrong. I can't say that I agree with the law, but for someone to bring a "religious right" comment into the arguement is simply foolish.
-Republican, and NOT a bible thumper.
It's still faster thhan 1Ghz CPU working on the problem alone.
So it's not twice as fast? Big deal. It's fairly common knowledge that youre processing power isn't the sum of your processor(s) speed. It's still faster than one CPU alone, and that's what power users want. (Throw in dual CPU dual core boards, and the super geeks will be lined up around the block.)
If there was a certain time period where a "trauma team" could come in and rescue your incapacitated body and nurse you back to health that'd be fine. It'd also encourage people to be more nice in some of these games, who's going to want to come rescue you, if you're a dick?
If our tax dollars are being used to fund NOAA, (and they are), then we have a right to that data. (...and I'm fairly certain we're entitled to it under the Freedom of Information Act.)
...then LSB would be a good thing if distros adopted it. Gone would be the days of binaries needing to be compiled for 10 different distros.
That being said, in order for a distro to migrate to the LSB standard, it will take time, if they even plan to do that. Interoperability is a great thing, and I really think the community should embrace this idea.
To the previous poster who said, "I'll just do it myself." you have to remember who the LSB is aimed at, and what its purpose is. You might be able to do it yourself, but "Joe User" hasn't got a clue when it comes to/home vs./var vs./usr/local/share....it's my understanding the LSB will help standardize that so that the learning curve isn't going to so great, to make distro's more able to play nice with eachother, and so that if one person gets sick of madrake, and decides "hey, let's try ubuntu"...the change can be made with relatively little study.
Instead of overt paranoia, his paranoia was with the looming obsession that the world was out to take him for granted due to his automaton status. (...and ironicly, he put himself in situations where that happened, further re-enforcing that idea).....brain the size of a planet and he's a valet. I can relate.
oh yeah.....I forgot about that one...
(I always forget to grab the towel out of the house and the bit of lint from my pocket, and that thing with the string that my aunt gave me, but I don't know what it was.
"What do you get when you multiplyy 6 by 9?"
"42"
"I always thought there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe."
Nah, they wouldn't have been able to post at all. Adolf Hitler the 3rd would've made it a capital offense to even own a computer let alone post. If they were part of the underground MAYBE they would be able to post, if they were able to post at all. It'd be on an old scrounged Speak n' Spell w/ B&W television for a monitor that you had to change the channels with a pair of pliers.
"Vat do owr citizens need vitz za computer? Thees ees for official party use only."
ahh, I haven't seen that one yet. i've seen 3 and 4, but not 2.
However, bearing that in mind, past episodes take place in the future, and Gallifrey was mentioned then, so if the council of timelords exists in the future and these episodes are taking place in the present, we have to assume that other timelords exist because they exist in the future. (aren't the mechanics of time and space wonderful?)
That's still a load of crap. They shouldn't make you PAY to download something if they were to leave the commercials in tact. In fact the broadcasters should collect more advertising royalties for offering the programs on another media and then companies could place adverts that would be targeted towards people who are smart enough to download their television programs.
He's not the sole surviving timelord, The Doctor is just the one you see the most of. There are several others spread through out the universe. (I almost said galaxy, too much damn starwars..)
You Sir, are just as ignorant as those you would point the finger towards.
Saying that Americans are lazy, is like saying all Canadians put gravy on their french fries, or all Scotsmen fuck sheep. It's ignorant and short-sighted.
As far as not caring? You can blame that on the liberal arts public education system. Thanks to the "Let's all hold hands and play nice" mentality, we've raised several generations of people that can't take a leak without someone holding their hand, or giving them the answer to something. It's not that they're lazy, it's that they haven't been taught self-reliance. Big difference.
Example:
My girlfriend, (yes, I have one)...didn't know that the eggs in the store, if left undisturbed under the mother hen would make baby chickens. She thought chickens were born just like babies. It's not because she's stupid, it's because nobody every taught her. Same is true with modern day America. Americans aren't lazy, they just haven't been taught to rely on themselves, let alone accept personal responsibility for anything.

...at least now we know who to blame.

If the fossils were found with a mixtrue of meat and plant matter, that would make them an OMNIVORE...not a vegetarian.
What's even worse...

If you're a mac user... ....do you even work?
How so?
Last I checked, stealing was illegal. They achieved the possessions in question thru illicit means, so if someone steals something when it wasn't theirs in the first place, I don't see how he has a right to complain.
Poetic justice as far as I'm concerned.
I look at it this way.
A theif has no right to complain if someone steals from him.
Unless it's Linux.
That kind of stuff is old news. Microsoft has been buying out companies and closing them down if they were seen even as a remote threat.

well his paranoia was a bit more subtle.

Anyone taking bets on how long it takes someone to install Linux on it?

YAY, I got moderated as flamebait, even though the tool didn't READ the damn thing and understand the meaning.
Had they read it, they would've seen it for what it was, instead of reading the first sentance.
STUPID MODERATORS, FTW!!!!
(now THAT is flaimbait.)

The problem is that society doesn't look at the perpetraters of the crime, they look at the enablers.
Example:
PETA throws red paint on those who wear fur. The fur wearers are just BUYING the animal pelts, it's the fur ranches that kill the animals.
Rather than pin the blame on who it belongs to, history pins the blame on the consumers or the providers whent he consumer is the victim.
