Ok, I've already said this about 3 times in this thread but...have you bothered to read the summary? This is only for your own personal searches, not global. If I'm misunderstanding your point then forgive me but there seems to be a lot of confusion about how this is going to be applied.
No kidding. This at least will get rid of E x p e r t s E x c h a n g e and p l e n t o f f i s h links for some of us(POF has more gateway pages than any dating site I've ever seen and yet somehow Google does nothing to them). Though they should use the idea to make it much easier to report spam...but that would make too much sense, and also cut into their profits since, sadly, they make a decent chunk of change from the spammers. Kinda like the uncle that paid your way through college, but molested you.
"The point is that most people don't know or don't care about the RIAA tactics."
I'm currently staying in Kentucky where we're almost overrun by rednecks and the other day I was driving and saw an old beat up pickup truck with a "no RIAA"(the little slashie circle thingy) sticker. This wasn't a college kid, this was a regular person driving his truck.
"So let us imagine what the difference between the UK and the US could be. Oh yes the fact that you let every loony and criminal arm themselves to the teeth with cheap firearms."
Why is it that we always see someone from the UK(and maybe elsewhere) saying exactly this type of statement: "What could be the difference between the UK and the US? Oh I know. Guns!!".
Seriously, it's overplayed. One only need to look inside of a prison where there are no guns whatsoever, except in the gun tower, to see that violence doesn't need bullets to be effective and that it's the culture, not the gun.
This isn't a debate on gun control so why is it that it's the biggest harping point of people that live in your Nanny State when there is a discussion on violence in general? I only half-heartedly jest when I say that it's probably simple envy. Regardless, if I had to choose my method of death, I'd rather be shot than have someone spend 10 minutes bludgeoning me with a baseball bat or whatever other violent methods someone in your country might have to resort to.
"What's your point? The lawyer makes less money on the plea bargain then he would have with a jury trial."
I guess you missed this but $1500 in 10 minutes = $6000/hr(actually more but I'm being conservative) that he can make if he uses that coffee break for other clients as well, whereas $15,000 over 2 days(16 hours) is $937/hr. Now, what was *your* point again?
The roots are telling untruths in places besides here?!?!?!? Perhaps you need to go back to English 101. You lay down to sleep. You lie to your boss about being late.
I know, I know. I haven't actually seen anyone offer the b.b.'s in a head shop in about 15 years but it's an idea that at least *sounds* like a winner.
Bingo!! They never seem to take into account the method one uses to smoke which I find interesting since a joint delivers far more tar than, say, a "resinator", bong or, as you mention, a vaporizer.
P.S. If you're not already hip to this, a movement I saw a while back was for people to put ice cold ball bearings in their bong, without water, and the smoke would travel through the ball bearings and the heat differential would cause the tar to condense on the ball bearings leaving the cannabinoids to do their magic. Once you're done you soak the ball bearings in alcohol to clean them and then store them in the freezer for later use. I haven't done this yet because I use glass and I don't like the idea of a million b.b's hitting it and one potentially cracking/breaking it.
Yes I am because one doesn't have to look further than the courthouse to watch minorities get fed this line:"I know you're innocent but they're going to keep you in jail until you go to trial and if you plea now they'll have you out in a week". Attorneys have a built-in need to negotiate with one another while at the same time ignoring their clients. An attorney who is defending me doesn't need to run to the prosecutor for a plea agreement before even hearing my side of the case.
Besides, since that episode I've taken to DEMANDING the right to defend myself and I haven't lost a case for so much as a speeding ticket. Amazing what you can do when you refuse to negotiate and simply tell the prosecutor that if they don't drop the charges themselves that you'll have it dismissed by the judge, which will then count against their win/loss ratio. Telling the judge that you demand a jury trial helps as well.
If attorneys were paid according to whether they successfully defended you, I might not have a problem but attorneys(and everyone else in the world) prefer to make the big bucks AND make them as fast as possible. Which do you think is faster: a plea bargain made over coffee with the prosecutor, or a jury trial lasting 2 days? So which do you think the attorney is going to lean toward? They want a high ROI(where the "return" is $$$ and the "investment" is time of course) so why would they want to do more work for you when they could pressure and lie to you for 2 minutes and make the equivalent of $6000/hr? There's no motivation for them to actually defend you.
Except "better driver" is defined in the people's own terms, not simply whether they have accidents. So for them it might be that they always use their turn signals, brake early, leave 5 football fields of space between them and the car in front of them when moving at 15 mph, etc.
I've been programming for about 30 years at this point and I think his code is great. Low overhead, should work well, fast, and it PLANS FOR someone to attempt a buffer overflow and then takes all the sting out of it. Besides, it doesn't seem that complex by any means.
Wait! You're saying that smoking pot causes emphysema??? Got a real citation for that? Probably not because the most recent evidence shows the opposite.
"Get charged with a crime you didn't commit and then tell me how you feel about defense attorneys."
I can, easily. They stink. Mine rolled over and started pandering to the prosecution until I finally was tired of hearing his whiny ass tell me that my defense would do no good; after 2 months *MY* motions to dismiss, etc. had caused the prosecution to approach me with a plea bargain that was less than 1% of what I had been charged with initially. I imagine I'd still be in prison if I'd bothered to listen to the little yellow-bellied fucker who couldn't get it down to 10% of the original charge. And to beat all, I was innocent.
I'm not 100% certain how pay phones deal with it but you might want to check out the current 2600 Magazine as they have a writeup there on using it creatively.
WRONG!! I've got an official in Nigeria who's giving me 47 million dollars in exchange for me helping him secure an inheritance that he's taking from another official....
Agreed. I actually just gave my wife my Visor Edge so that we can work out our scheduling, to-do lists, etc. I don't know why they didn't make more Visors(or PDAs in general) with metal cases/covers like the Edge.
Why would the file be readable by IE6(and probably IE5...it's pretty old for a.chm) but not IE7 if it were corrupted? I already tried what was suggested on that blog and it didn't help then any more than it would now; the one time I got SOMETHING from IE7 it was only jumbled text and missing images. Since I don't use IE for anything other than.chm files anyway, there's really no need for IE7's bloatedness and if I could get the.chm extension to work with Firefox I wouldn't use it even once.
Regardless it was dumb, dumb, dumb of M$ to make their browser incompatible with the file type that was designed to be used with it; it'd be the equivalent of Windows refusing to handle.exe files. IF that solution actually worked 100%(which according to some of the comments on that blog and my own experience, it doesn't) then it seems it would have been wise to have IE7 handle a.chm with a warning dialog telling the user to adjust the security on the file at the very least, like they do with macros in Word. And that brings me to your original statement:
"you people flame MS when you perceive a security hole, and then blame them when they make a product safer to use. You cannot have it both ways."
I didn't flame M$ when they put the dialog up that asks if the user wants to use macros in a.doc file but I will flame them for not putting something equivalent in IE7. "Safer to use" does not have to equal "incredibly fucking hard to use" afterall.
Finally, never forget the power of "making a scene". If you loudly (but not threateningly!) make a fuss over them refusing to take something back (best to wait for the busiest, most crowded part of the day), they'll usually do what you want just to get rid of you.
I was at Wal-mart a year or so ago and had to wait the clerk to get a stack of $10 bills from one of the other employees. While waiting she said that I should demand $20 instead of $10 and I kinda laughed and then she turned to me and said that she wasn't kidding, that if I raised a big enough of a fuss, they'd give me $20 even if they had 150 witnesses to the contrary because apparently in the employee break room or the like there is a sign that says something to the effect of "Each Wal-mart customer is worth $125,000 over their lifetime so don't fuck it up by making them want to shop at K-mart"...or words to that effect. I might not like what Walmart has done to some smaller communities but at least that's *real* customer service.

I know all about the harm to the lungs. Emphysema was the point and like you said, the jury is still out on that.
