and i think you missed mine, this ad is a perfict example of subtle racisim... it doesnt come out and say "WHITE PEOPLE ARE BETTER!" it says "the white PSP is better and its being represented by this white person"
Really? So the black dominating white ad is subtle racisism saying 'the black psp is better because its represented by this black person'?
And it does show the white version dominating the previous black version, the ad shows the white PSP is stronger and more powerfull (otherwise how could it tie up the black version?)
You'd have a point if there weren't two other ads showing the reverse and equality as part of this campaign.
Honestly, look at how racial diversity is crammed into everything. You almost never see an advertisement that doesn't include a black person or an asian person right up there with white people.
Actually I've found that to be false. You'll hardly see any black people in commericals while you're watching, say Everybody love raymond, or Seinfeld, and you'll hardly see any white people if you're watching something like Monique or other similar show on the WB.
Indeed. I personally have never had any slaves or treated anyone differently because of their race. I'll certainly not be held accountable for something terrible which I could have in no way prevented (because it happened before I was born).
The bank pays X pounds for a piece of software, but don't use it because they have another licence through volume licensing. So they have a bunch of licenses they bought but don't use. It seems like they should be able to sell those licenses as they please.
That's ridiculous. Yes, you have the right to shoot someone, but for you to find it reasonable to shoot someone because they were looking through you things is disturbing at best.
Excuse me, why is it unreasonable? Its a pretty big violation to enter someone's home uninvited; the honest truth is that you don't know why the trespasser is there, and I'd rather err on the side of my safety than his.
What I find distribuing that you think its no big deal for someone to walk into (or break into) some one else's home.
What punishment do you think would fit the crime of someone walking into your unlocked front door wanting to get a look at your collection of potato chips?
Five years in jail, or execution on site. Peoples homes are their own, and there's a breach of trust when you go into it uninvited. Its a pretty violating experience. The fact is, you don't know what the trespasser is planning, and it doesn't really matter, since he shouldn't have been there in the first place.
The "come on" in your first instance is just as strong as in the second. Look at it this way, presume the cop wasn't there "dressed like hooker" and smiling at you, chances are you wouldn't be tempted to get a "date".
Which is irrelevent, since a real hooker would likely tempt you to get a date as well.
Of course, the whole thing is ridiculous. If two consenting adults choose to exchange money for sex, I fail to see how that's anyone else's business.
A US dollar is only worth today, 1/20th of what it was worth 80 years ago, in real terms.
Which is why you are supposed to invest your money, so that you earn intrest on it. That's the idea behind 401(k).
Also 80 years is most of your lifetime as an American. I doubt you'll be holding money from the time you're born until you die, without it being in a savings account, bond or some other investment.
You can think whatever you want, but its much easier to lift weights instead of lifting rocks whose weight you don't know up front. Its also a bit easier, since the larger rocks are more ackward to use in say, a bench press.
While I could mine the metal and forge the weights myself, and then build a weight machine or treadmill, its much more effective use of my time to just join a gym.
How do you know the microcode update doesn't also have bugs in it? Its a trust thing. This isn't the first time Intel has a chip that raises questions about trust.
So why do you have a computer? Shouldn't you write your comments on a piece of paper and mail it to slashdot for them to post on your behalf? Do you own dishwashers, vacuums, washing machines or dryers? If you do, I suggest you get rid of them.
Your comments are about as foolish as the scientists that claim we are gaining weight because we are sweating and shivering less, thanks to modern cooling and heating, respectively.
Your claims about the gym are foolish too; treadmills help you keep a more constant pace, and I doubt those bodybuilders would be as big from doing their dishes and laundry by hand. I can only hope you're joking.
I think the whole idea is foolish. Why not just go back to drawing pictures and such? Or talking in grunts. After all, large words are hard to pronounce as well!
Ahh if only we could go back to the good old days.
When we first started 'file sharing' in college (1996 / 1997), we would get our mp3s from other college kids public FTP server. Found a lot of bands I'd never have overwise heard that way.
Not really security bo obscurity, as there's a pattern behind it (unless you consider encrytion security through obscurity, which you probably could).
Salting hashing forces the would be hacker to have a complete dictionary hash for each salt value, something they aren't likely to have (espcially if the salts are cryptographically safe random salts).

As for affirmative action, I put that into the "Do you want EQUAL rights or EXTRA rights?"
You can take that further than just affirmative action. Think dedicated parking spots (up front) for handicapped and pregnant women.

The incredibly high damages assigned by this man's peeking around UNFIREWALLED SYSTEMS WITH BLANK ADMIN PASSWORDS
The fact that I might leave my car unlocked does not give you the right to take it.
FWIW, they let murders out because of inane anti-drug laws, which are aimed at keeping pot smokers in jail for life.

Except that, legally, its not. They can even take it to the point where you pay her (before any sex, of course).
This is rather unfortunate too.
Personally I think that only people in management positions should be elligable for salary pay; everyone else should be hourly.

The expansion into the US is going very well, btw.
You sure about that? I live only 3 hours from Montreal, and have never heard of them.
Mmm, pretzel.

No, this is totally serious, as is any cause which is backed by 'please think of the children.'
