And the other "cool" thing about fast growth pulpwood plantations is that you can get your plots on a nice rotation and not have to adversely effect nearby native forests.
Either they're uploading the real file which means they're in violation of copyright law, which seems unlikely. Or they're uploading the real file but they, as the copyright holder, have deemed it OK to distribute - which means it's OK to go ahead and grab it.
Or they're dummy files, which means you can go ahead and grab it since there's no copywritten content shifting hands.
So, these guys are working and living in what amounts to a left-wing echo chamber and anti-industrial environmentalism is a core tenet of modern leftist orthodoxy.
Dude, what the fuck does that even mean? Is there a right-wing buzzword generator out there that I don't know about?
they have motivations similar to everybody else (greed, fame, power, money, personel vendettas, etc)
I think you're more likely to find people motivated by greed, power, and money in an MBA program than you will in any one of the sciences. In fact, someone right now is probably getting a chuckle out you suggesting people interested in money are going into science as a career.
Science is the search for answers to how the world around us works. It's generally unbiased and welcomes any conflicting viewpoints. I don't understand why people keep insisting there is this huge pressure to back the consensus as a scientist. I think the opposite is true. I think scientists dream of one day disproving a widely held theory. Where's the fulfillment of being one of the nameless thousands adding yet another bit to the status quo when you could be working towards turning the world on its ear?
Look, if walked into your house in the morning and peed on your cornflakes would you be pissed?
I could make all the common arguements: Maybe your cornflakes tasted like piss before I peed in them. Maybe the piss in your cornflakes isn't doing any harm. It would have taken me more energy and to find an appropriate place to piss so it was easiest to piss in your cornflakes. Are you sure I even pissed in your cornflakes? Maybe the piss was already there. You should adapt and learn to enjoy the taste of piss in your cornflakes. Technology will find a way to deal with the piss in your cornflakes.
No, the correct response to someone pissing in your cornflakes is to scream "What the fuck are you doing you fucking moron!!!!"
When humankind's contribution of a *gas* to the atmosphere is measured in *billions* of tons *annually*, the proper reaction is to have your jaw drop, not argue that it surely can't be doing any harm.
Speaking of micro- versus miniSD, I've looked at Sansa's offering with interest since I'm looking for a flash-based mp3/media player but that microSD thing is an annoyance. Has anyone had a chance to play with the Kinston K-PEX? It's too new for there to be a decent amount of reviews out there. 1 or 2GB, miniSD, $105, ogg support... Sure, it looks pretty awful but the feature list is nice.
You'd better hope you call Pluto the right thing. With a 200 year period she could really make it miserable for you. "Did you just call me a Pluton? I hope you didn't, because I'm not one. Why would you think that? Maybe if you got off your goddamn ass and mowed the lawn you wouldn't time to think of ridiculous things to call me!"
That's all we need... to give children unrestricted access to their parents. Remember when telemarketers used to annoy us all? Imagine a child with a cell phone that can call mommy whenever.
(3:00am) Brrrrring! "Mommy, I think I just heard something under my bed!"
(on the playground) Brrrrring! "Daddy! Tommy says that if you make faces your face will get stuck like that isittrue isittrue?!"
Any ideas on how a sysadmin would tactfully get the word out to coworkers that might not be aware that tomorrow is the "big day?"

It actually refused to run at first for me because it detected and drive emulator (daemon tools). The no-cd patch from gamecopyworld solved that issue, however.

Not just a Steven Seagal movie, now a political philosophy too!

Most states have laws in place that require your employer to give you time off to cast your vote. http://www.toolkit.cch.com/columns/people/04-070vo ting.asp
I'm cool. You know how cool I am? I'm so cool that I *don't* have a myspace page, that's how cool.

I love the smell of a corporate implosion in the morning.
And the name itself kinda makes me chuckle.
"You're so special, we're not going to give you just an 'A'... we're going to give you an 'A+'!!!"
You've got to learn how to laugh at yourself.
As long as they don't block the Good Eats page... I'm sure there are one or two food nerds in the service.
You said you had pictures?
....well?
Sounds like quite an experience and I'd love to see the pics.
If Lucas has his way the suckage will indeed be variable. Han shot first!
that's some very much bad grammar
Isn't it almost Tulip Time in Holland, MI? Sucks to be you guys. I went to high school in Zeeland and never could stand to be around for Tulip Time.
With that gaping security hole closed up I can finally sleep at night knowing I'm safe from all the bad people in the world.
