7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Seems to me ol' Jack actually found the place in the Bible that perfectly describes the situation, except he refuses to see that he's the one falling into the pit he dug himself.
If, prior to the beginning of your coverage with your current insurer, you had coverage with another insurer, and there was no period between the two in which you were uninsured or that period was less than 63 days long, then the time in which your new insurer can deny claims for pre-existing conditions is reduced by the length of time you had continuous coverage through your previous insurer.
What if you switch jobs twice within a month? Assuming you've had continuous coverage between the three insurers, would the current insurer only reduce the "claim denial" period by the time you've had coverage through the most recent insurer, or would it be by the total time you've had continuous coverage?
The swear words you mentioned are all slang for actions that have acceptable terms, even if these terms are not as "cool". The other words are the acceptable terms.
So, out of curiosity, are all the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay "worth keeping"? Seems that after all these years and with these great mind fscker techniques you're talking about, we'd have enough information to charge and convict all of them, wouldn't we?
Reminds me of the seven-league boots they experimented with at the Soviet Scientific Research Institute of Sorcery and Wizardry. The problem of course was that with the very first stride your leading foot would end up seven leagues away from the rest of your body.
Google should not be collecting any of that huge pile of information AT ALL, not just anonymising it after 18 months. As the AOL case showed, search queries can be used to identify individuals even after AOL anonymized them, so it's not IP addresses they are recording, it's PEOPLE.
AOL did not anonymize correctly. True anonymization would not have queries linked by "userid". Giving you 100 queries and saying "these 10 were made by one user, these 7 by another, etc." is far different from just giving you 100 queries and saying "these were made by anywhere between 1 and 100 users, inclusively."

Actually I do (and why I got modded troll, I have no idea). When you say "telescope", I think about huge things like this - not something someone from 400 years ago could have built.
And I bet when I say "airplane", you think about huge things like this, not something someone from from 100 years ago could have built.

How did they find out about this? Interviews?
Hey, it worked for Moses...the 10 commandments are still around.
That's out of the original 15.
Please get the facts straight. The Decider is not some secretary who cares about schedules and time tables.
Thompson quotes the Bible in his letter:
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:
it shall rejoice in his salvation.

The fact that Jack isn't in jail yet is a testament to his 1337 pr4y3r $k!112. Of course just who he's praying to is a matter of some debate...

At the very least, most drug addicts could have chosen not to consume the very first time.

4. Provide him with practically insufficient supply of chairs
Are you sure that a practically insufficient supply of chairs will be enough?
You know what, I read that the number of Sinbads has trippled in the last year!
Well, she definitely seems to want to profane justice.
If the hot air we have now is endangering global warming, with enough hot air we could get rid of it all together! Someone alert the media!
Personally, I think more people will be interested in redirecting traffic around the rounds they drive on, especially in rush our.
I agree. Quite a few things Bush does are merely moronic.
how about a 'real' system shock 3? with shodan and stuff. why do you resist 'the many', warren?
Not even The Many can compete with intellectual property laws....

What's more complex, the Universe, and a single intelligent being who can remake reality with mere thought (the ULTIMATE Quantum Observer?)
Anyway, I consider the spontaneous "popping into existence" of either one to be equally unlikely.

Your credibility just went to zero :)
Please, his girlfriend obviously spontaneously appeared out of nothing.
You would be right, if and only if Hawking was talking about things that couldn't ever be proven one way or another.
That's right. All we need is the technology that would allow us to go back in time to just before the Universe was created, and observe what happens.
What? You say there was no "time" before the Universe, so no "before"? That could cause problems....
