I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. There will be a day when the courage of men fail, we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! On this day we fight! By all that you hold down on this good earth, I bid you stand, men of the West.
It's not just Jersey. I live in Texas and people do the same thing. I bet in 100% of the states in the Union, the same thing happens (litter and speeding). If someone thinks because of police stations, people don't litter and speed, then said person is a moron.
Note: I don't refer to parent in saying 'moron', so don't assume I do, please.
That's because Japanese food tastes like rubber. I'm here. I'm eating it. I'm crying. I saw a cooking show where kids put CORN into a chocolate cake. My TV still hasn't recovered from the foot I put into it for showing me THAT travesty.
Why the hell is the parent +5 informative? It's completely inaccurate (in the statement that Kazaa and Skype are owned by the same company. If you are wise enough to know that Kazaa was coded by the same people as Skype, you should know enough to realize that the guys who coded Kazaa did not put spyware in -- someone else did.
Skype is not owned by Sharman Networks. Skype was coded by the same people who designed Kazaa, say it with me now, befooooooore it was sold to Sharman, and Shaaaarman added the spy/mal/adware.
I've used Skype for 6 months, and there is nothing bad in it. If you are too paranoid to use it, well, it's your loss. I just would rather not have a company that is actually honest and providing an excellent product be associated with the current Kazaa.
I trust Skype enough to have given their company around 500 USD over the course of this time in using their service, and using my credit card at that!
What does 'doubtlessly' mean? I tried to work it out in my head, but there's too many suffixes! Is it like 'undoubtedly'? I googled define:doubtlessly and there was no definition.
I created two accounts. I am in Japan, using a US card. When I called my girlfriend while she was in England, it was every day and could run aroun 8 euros per day. I was spending 40 euros a week approximately. After 2 weeks or so of this, one account could no longer use the card. So I would switch to a second account and do the same. By the time the second account could not use that card, I would switch back to the first account and everything would be back to normal. Try that. I asked the Skype people and they said it was allowed, and that usually when the cards are blocked it is a security sign that is flagged due to frequent use and is blocked with that account. Not all accounts. Just that one.
Man, before I figured that out, I really let 'em have it -- I have spent over 500 USD on Skype in 6 months, and they have the gall to block my card?
They were great to work with, and very friendly, despite those problems.
Skype is great for me. I call my girlfriend every day, and from Japan to Texas it costs approximately 1-2 USD per hour. VoIP is not an option, as I would need the consent of all the people I live with. Those people are technophobes who I routinely argue with because, in their opinions, the internet is a bad, scary place where people meet up to plan joint suicides.
What you say is equivalent to crying that you cannot afford a DVD, so you should have a right to download it for free.
If the person in question has the internet and a mailing address, they most certainly have access to legit DVDs which are available for purchase online. You do admit that they are prohibitively expensive, and I will give you that. However, you continue on, making your case that a person has a right to watch anything they want to irrespective of if they have the money to pay for it or not. I don't believe you have made a case that this is so. This is equivalent to saying people should have free admission to a movie that is not sold out. The theaters do not lose seat sales, yet would you argue that you have a right to be in there for free? Yes, a right. Because you are essentially arguing this. You didn't take anything from them, unless you want to complain about costing them about.000001 peso for the extra air conditioning expenses because your body was there.
While I agree partially with both of you, I feel the need to point out that you are being hypocritical by stating that all information needs to be free, but yet your name does not need to be free.
So information needs to be free if it means you get to download fansubbed anime, but it does not need to be free if it will help someone prosecute/sue you.
Kanji is "Chinese Characters used by the Japanese as a sort of fancy text"
Let me get this straight -- you are equating kanji with italics???
Or even further, that is like saying the English alphabet is Phoenician characters used by Australians as a sort of fancy text -- Kanji are pretty much necessary.
Manga are not subtitled. A translated manga is either a "scanslation" (fan-made, from a blend of 'scan' and 'translation' -- manga are scanned and then translated) or "dual language" (release by Japanese companies for the readership to study English).

So, using your logic, parents have no right to tell their child to do anything.
And the child is not having beliefs forced on him, he is being forced to behave a certain way. At no point is he forced to believe a certain way.
Believe it or not, beliefs and actions are two different things.
Argh! I just posted this in the wrong thread. Nothing to see here, move along.
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. There will be a day when the courage of men fail, we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day!

Thanks for my new sig.

uncommon sense called commen sense
I totally dig how you spelled 'uncommon' correctly but misspelled 'common'.

Japan doesn't have a problem with obesity
That's because Japanese food tastes like rubber. I'm here. I'm eating it. I'm crying. I saw a cooking show where kids put CORN into a chocolate cake. My TV still hasn't recovered from the foot I put into it for showing me THAT travesty.
Don't you mean, "FRIST CDOE!"?
ok lameness filter time for much lowercase stuff ok ok ok lameness filter dealt with time to post
What L4 seeks to do is bring all levels of processing out to ring4.
Do you mean ring3? Because there are only rings zero through three (which makes four). Somebody fails their computer counting!
Damn you! I was just going to mention it! Now I guess I cannot. Curse you and your quick thinking and infinite wisdom!
You were one 1337 fifth-grader.

Enough with the Skype idiocy!
Microsoft didn't write it. That may be why it works well.

the OSI and FSF are not the same thing. Again, Open Source and Free Software are not the same thing.

I was too lazy to get to the parent post, so I'm replying to yours. I'm sorry.
Japanese is most certainly not fun and easy.
Manga are not subtitled. A translated manga is either a "scanslation" (fan-made, from a blend of 'scan' and 'translation' -- manga are scanned and then translated) or "dual language" (release by Japanese companies for the readership to study English).
I don't know where you are, but it's already Wednesday where I am ^_^.
