What exactly would this accomplish? Whether I listen to an FM station or an Internet station... as a consumer I've paid nothing
Silencing the internet stations will accomplish nothing more than giving up what they are fighting for. So I can't listen to my favorite internet stations...oh well... I'll actually take 2 seconds out of my life to tune into a conventional radio station. And they'll get exactly what they want.
Don't get me wrong... I support internet radio, however this type of action is well... counter productive.
Soo...depending on state law... the next time somebody witnesses another Rodney Kind incident, there's a good chance the videotape would not be admissable in court? Good to know Rodney didn't suffer from this law (well he had his own problems, but hey...videotape DID defend him).
I dunno...I personally got the impression that it was simply editing for the trailer.
Almost as if they didn't want you to see the full effects. Every scene where the transformations take place literally span 1 second, and the trailer's music/sound masked a lot too.
I won't pass judgement until the movie is released. But from what I see, it appears they still want to only throw teasers out to the public.
There are numerous reasons for a landline besides the obvious...
Fax Machine (yes, they still do come in handy...If I need to send off a hardcopy on the fly)
TiVo/DirectTV
Children at Home (who don't need cellphones until they can pay their own bills)
A big factor though, is a contact point for credit card companies, banks, public service, co-workers, any subscription services, and basically anybody else who you find a need to have contact with, but don't want disturbing you when you're out to dinner, on a date, or anywhere/anything else when you don't want to be available for calls from any but a select group of people.
I must admit, I've enjoyed watching the show from time to time... however all too often they make a big production out of something that could have been disproven from simple logic.
Take for example a recent episode where they were testing the myth that if you licked a stamp and stuck it to a helicopter's rotor-blade, would it unbalance the blades and render the helicopter uncontrollable? Granted it was a simple test to complete (cost the whole whopping cash for a stamp and fuel to start up a helicopter). When in simple logic, one could simply point out the large amount of Bug debris picked up by the rotor blades. I'm not seein a whole lotta heli's goin down in Florida after a massive mosquito massacre.
Sure, don't let them act on their beliefs, but if they want to say things, why shouldn't they?
Simple enough to answer... because it's cruel, disrespectful, and accomplishes nothing more than to promote hatred. I think it's a foregone conclusion that flawed teenage logic like your statements allude to can't appreciate such a simple concept. Justify what you want with barbed questions and logic; After all, nations have been known to go to war over the same simpleton outlook.
I think this will be the first episode I won't see in the theatre. After episode 2, I'm afraid the SW genre has reduced itself to wait until it hits the shelves at Blockbuster. And even then it may sit longer if there are other new DVD's released the same week (You never know when a gem like Napolean Dynamite will be found).
Anyone who uses Dreamweaver and calls themselves a "Web Designer" or a "Webmaster" is a monkey with a typewriter. Tools like that are great for maintaining HTML and making homepages, but not for producing real, clean, standards-compliant code.
Actually, I take this the opposite way. I find that usually people who bag on DW so vehemently are merely people who purchased a couple books on HTML, CSS and PHP then try to pass themselves off as professional web designers. And try to parade their percieved professionalism by loudly implying that Real Web Designers are those who use VI as a text editor and anybody else are mere mortals.
Dreamweaver squashed the 'WYSIWYG tools generate crappy non-standards compliant code' misnomer quite some time ago.
Perhaps so, however that still doesn't make it right. Just because it happens all the time doesn't make it acceptable.
And since Halo2 is the most anticipated game release in quite some time, the notoriety does merit a certain amount of attention, thus making it newsworthy.
Where in this is it assumed the parent can't be bothered to make the decision? Show me just one child who's going to go to their parents and say "I'm going out to buy something I know you don't want me to buy. Now is your opportunity to flex your parental muscles!"
The whole premise of this topic is to prevent kids from sneaking out and doing something when their parent isn't looking. Hence the need to ask for a child's ID.
Simply put, minors are just rebelling against a check against their misdeeds.
How on earth did this get moderated insightful?
All this is, is an immature child saying "Hey! If you make it more difficult, I'll just do something illegal to support my addiction."
Which, I guess, just reinforces the argument in favor of stricter policies and regulations.
Parents can do everything possible to teach their moral values to children, and to practice what is right, what is wrong, and what is responsible. Unfortunately no matter how well a parent fulfills that duty, children still act like children and do what's naughty or taboo. Let's face it, that's what children do.
It shifts no burden of responsibility of the parent. Instead it reinforces the responsibility of the entertainment industry. And like it or not, the retailer is a part of that industry and should have their methods of sales to minors held accountable.
Nobody has the right to question my parenting skills or authority by dangling a tempting morsel in front of my children. And then blaming me if my child gives in to temptation.
The flaw in this line of thinking is your complete lack of discipline in monitoring the functionality of your own phone. You said it yourself, If I actually remember to turn my phone off when I enter a theatre, I forget to turn it back on when I leave.
That's your own negligence for which you should be accountable. As should everybody else who's toting their phones around with them in places where quiet is proper etiquette.
Suddenly there's this HUGE issue of emergency situations and cell phones. As if those of us who were living 20 years ago are extraordinarily lucky to have survived without cell phones. As if the odds were astronomical.
How long has it been since you've used Dreamweaver? Because apparently you're using a much different version than I am.
The CSS support is very very nice in MX 2004, has near to flawless code generation, and as for layouts it supports CSS WYSIWYG as well so you're not stuck using nested tables.
If governments want to establish a secular "union" status for benefits and tax purposes, fine. If government would just get out of the business of recognizing and establishing "marriages", we woudln't even be having this gay marriage debate.
On the same token, proponents of same sex marriages should not then take up the issue of a right to marry based on benefits with the government. They should instead be focusing to seperate the recognition of 'marriage of love' and the governmental benefits of a union. And THEN take up the issue of marriage with the church.
Last year $99 was the Affordable price, and probably (pure speculation) the best sellers.
So to generate more revenue, cards no longer bleeding edge are not reduced in price. Instead the newer cards are just bumped to a higher price and the original $200 sticker is now labeled 'Affordable.'
The inherent flaw in any computer book, no matter how well written, is that it won't be read by the masses. The first sentence or word containing net, intra, inter, device, firewall, security, anti, virus etc... will cause them to instantly drop it and quit reading.
The only way a book may somehow break that barrier, is if somebody manages to write a collection of bedtime stories incorporating computer security in a silly way, with an ending containing a moral or lesson well learned. At least then the children might have a chance.
There's a little matter of something called 'Two Cycle Error' when aligning electronic compass systems.
The poor schmuck who's waaaaay out in the middle of a magnetically surveyed area (which has been me on a few occasions) aligns an aircraft to north. Then aligns the compass systems compensating for Index Error (the deviation of the aircraft from north, it's nigh impossible to park the aircraft perfectly over the surveyed line).
Next the aircraft electronic systems are powered on, and 2 Cycle Error needs to be accounted for. The inductance of electronic equipment and transmissions which can make a rather noticeable difference in compass alignment.
Sure, one cell phone probably won't make a noticeable shift. However how many passengers can you fit in an airbus?
And while there are other navigational systems available on the aircraft which operate differently (Inertial Nav, GPS etc), Compass alignment cannot be discounted as a safety issue.
Yes, and on a 65mph expressway, the fast lane cars should be going no faster than 65mph.
Instead we see 85mph cars screaming at the 80mph cars to move over.

I just wish package managers would adapt to that versioning. Too often they parse 2.9 to be an upgrade from 2.10

Firefox also runs on Mac and Linux, so Joe User contemplating switching OS's will find it easier if they find familiar apps to work with.
Perhaps so, however that still doesn't make it right. Just because it happens all the time doesn't make it acceptable.

Ya know it's funny. Drug pushers and pedophiles share your same attitude.

It's evolution...
Survival of the fittest. Those smart enough not to get caught get to grow old in peace. Those weaker, are caught before they grow old.
