This kind of thing happens whenever you have an opinionated celebrity with controversial views that are at odds with a lot of their fan base. What's more interesting is watching to see how people's support of free speech is tied to how well the speech lines up with their own political views. Of course there is also something to be said for artists sticking to being known for their creative works and not for their extreme political stances.
Given Obama's propensity for exacerbating every problem he tries to deal with (unemployment, health care premiums, middle class tax rates, gas prices, etc.), promising not to do anything is better than yet another spectacular backfire.
Gun control is to the second amendment what censorship is to the first. These are authoritarian push-backs against the Bill of Rights giving people "too much" freedom. The Internet has shown what happens to such restrictive efforts once an enabling technology is introduced to the masses.
So as a result of Amazon caving to my state on the tax thing, I pay 8% more for my purchases, but might eventually get them a day faster. Not being the impatient and impulsive sort, I liked the old system a lot better.
This could however make other online retailers a lot more attractive. If I want to buy, say, an iPad, the cost is the same from any merchant thanks to price-fixing. So I could buy it locally for instant gratification, or online to save the tax. Before Amazon was my go-to for online purchases, being the fastest of the tax-free options. Now, however, I would go to a competitor with no physical presence in the state in order to save good money for waiting a couple extra days.
The Windows 3.1 most people knew was not part of NT, but Microsoft named its first server OS "Windows NT 3.1" to keep the version numbers the same. NT4 came before Windows 2000 by a few years. Windows 2000 was actually NT5, though Microsoft had changed their naming convention by then so it wasn't marketed under that name.
If you actually look at the platform, the Texas Republicans' opposition is to the Outcome Based Education philosophy. Proponents of this methodology sometimes label it "critical thinking skills" since after all, who doesn't favor that? The summary submitter (and about half of the comments at this point) fall into the same logical fallacy as "If you oppose the PATRIOT Act, you must oppose patriotism!", ironically due to a lack of critical thinking skills...
One raid, 20% change of getting caught, you need two raids a year, and that increases changes to over 50%, WTF!?
TFA claims that doing two raids a year gives you a greater than 50% chance of getting caught within 2 years (i.e., 4 raids). Let's check the math...
After 1 raid you have a 100% - 20% = 80% chance of eluding capture.
After 2 raids, it's 80% ^ 2 = 64%
After 3 raids, it's 80% ^ 3 = 51.2%
After 4 raids, it's 80% ^ 4 = 40.96%
100% - 40.96% chance of not getting caught = 59.04% chance of getting caught, which is in fact over 50%.
I downloaded the 64-bit ISO and installed it in VMWare Player 4.03. It got to a point a bit after the first reboot, then died with a "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" blue screen. So if you want to casually check Win8 out without setting up a box, apparently not all visualization solutions work right with this OS.
Agreed. It's weird how the article tries to spin them as separate things. "Most cybercrime now politically motivated" would have made for a more accurate headline.
After millions of years of evolution, humans become large and at the top of the food chain,and this guy wants to override all that to make them leaf-eating midgets. So while there may never be consensus on the intelligent design notion of a higher power guiding our development, at least now we have the option for unintelligent design with a stupid power screwing it up.
Now that the cart follows you around and carries your stuff, they just need to get it to hover off the ground and technology will have caught up with first level mage spells.
Democrats talk a lot about science when it comes to climate change (to justify government control of the economy), embryonic stem cells (to give abortion an upside), or evolution (out of a dislike of creationism). But where are they when it comes to science for the sake of human knowledge instead of some blatant political agenda? Obama gutted the space program. Democrats killed the Superconducting Super Collider. Nobody on the left has a bold scientific vision like Newt Gingrich's moon base proposal.
Forty years ago, people believed that humans were the only species that experienced pain. (It's true).
Until the 1970s, nobody ever saw an injured dog? Fish have been long believed not to experience pain, but that's way different than every species besides humans.
Speaking as an atheist in the Bible Belt, I can tell you, anonymity is a goddamn blessing. Otherwise, I'd need a god given machine gun to defend myself against these Goddamn Jesus freaks who think they need to kill me for not believing in their Sky God. God Damn Motherfuckers!
Have you ever considered that the difficulty getting along with the more spiritually-inclined might have less to do with them prying into your affairs and more to do with how you can't even get through a post on a completely unrelated topic without a profanity-laden bashing of their religion?
You talk about how "short" and comprehensible the Obamacare bill was. It was rammed through the House in 9 days (does anyone really study 2000 pages of legalese that quickly?) and then went through the Senate and reconciliation process over 4 months and was signed into law. Obama even set aside his campaign promise about waiting five days before signing bills because he decided doing the necessary research before signing major legislation was not important.
Then in your very next point you talk about how rejected the Keystone pipeline because of the "short timetable". A pipeline proposal that had been going around for three years is too hasty for him, but he needs like five minutes to study health care legislation? Really, that's what you're going to go with?
It seemed a little odd that when a helicopter broke down a quarter mile away from a supposedly allied military base, the U.S. military would blast it to pieces rather than just asking Pakistan to keep an eye on it till it could be picked up. For a random helicopter, scuttling it in nominally friendly territory is wasteful and over-the-top, but for a super secret stealth helicopter, it's quite prudent.
The XBox360 has potential as a set-top box, but Microsoft's business strategy really undermines it. To watch Netflix on it, you have to subscribe to XBox Live, even if you have no interest in online gaming. Meanwhile a network-enabled Blu-Ray player is half the price, has no recurring costs, and can play Blu-Rays. I'm not sure if any have as good of a DLNA client as the 360, but there's no reason they couldn't. The 360 is nice if you want to play games, but in a purely media box role, there are better options out there.
It would take months of showering with caustic agents to get the stupid off. The woman is the perfect storm of all that is wrong with America's dumbest citizens today.
It's kind of ironic how the Left goes on and on whining about how "dumb" Palin is, yet picked Joe Biden for a vice president, a guy that would make even Dan Quayle look like a brilliant statesman by comparison.
languishing in the shadows like Cinderella on the night of the ball
So right now Microsoft is getting decked out in cool clothes from its fairy godmother, and about to make a stunning entrance that turns everybody's head?

No more getting two Netflix shipments a week by sending the movie back the day after you receive it.
Booth babes.

We should save the helium for more critical applications, such as filling up balloons and talking like Munchkins.

Because the other news outlets were doing such a great job of covering SOPA before the protests broke out...

Precalculus courses cover topics from analytic geometry and trigonometry in addition to algebraic ones.

If a landing were imminent, they would have appointed a complete incompetent as ambassador.
But Obama already has a job...
