whats funny is I only recently played halo 2 for the first time, having already played halo 3 and such, was kind of funky retro to go back a version, the lack of good graphics really bites lol
Hulu is one of the main ways we've survived without cable tv for YEARS.
I miss a few things like history and learning channels but once the hulu type concept gets larger I'm sure we'll be able to get all our content on demand like it should be for reasonable costs.
I don't think any of us has a problem paying something towards the cost of creating content, just not exorbitant fees. $10/mo is livable, I'd rather pay for lifetime access to the shows I want though, like give me lifetime access to say battlestar galactica for $10 or the like, I only have an interest in a few of their shows.
What'd be amazing is if we ever get to the point where how many paid subscribers there are helps keep the show going, i.e. like battlestar or a star trek with enough fans could it economically restart / continue shows?
Compete on a fair and equal level or stfu and go home.
Nobody gives a damn that women are not ceo's of it companies, if it was a concern to them they'd have built their own firms but it's not so drop it.
My gender plays no role in forming a company, a lot of other real life factors occur, the tree hugging moronic hippies that think "equality" is solved by making unlevel playing fields are completely lost at step 1.
Having lived in Cincinnati most of my life and left and come back, $60k/yr here you can definitely live on, it's astounding how much more expensive elsewhere is without a huge pay increase.
I remember having a decent car / condo on $60k/yr.
But this place sucks for weather and gets more dangerous every year without fail.
Yeah I have to agree (men, myself included) generally go for looks over brains.
I'm a very driven intelligent person but I surround myself with complete morons and always date good looking but no so smart and a little crazy women;)
It's fun being leader of the pack lol Everytime I've ever tried dating an intelligent woman it always turns into this competitive bs of them trying to prove their as good or better then I am at things and they hate losing so you spend all your time trying to let them win without them realizing it just to shut them up. Too much hassle, give me cute cuddling and likes shiny things kind of girl.
If I want overly intelligent nerd talk... I'll go to work or post on here;)
I think it's more insane that you wish to restrain someone from posting a legitimate flag of their country, like it or not it's their right to display it.
I'd be very proud to have neighbors with the proper balls it takes to display that flag, I would take no offense to my neighbor posting a Canadian flag as I would take no offense to a nazi flag or south african.
Equality and freedom is universal not pick and choose, you are what you hate when you discriminate even against those that discriminate against others.
This censorship in germany of the swastika is beyond retarded.
Whether you're proud of the Nazi's or not, they happened and were the pride of germany for many many years and did a great deal more to advance this world then any other group in history.
I personally thank the nazi's for causing the world to change, and see no reason to try to rewrite history by denying the world from seeing the symbols of it.
Many people feel the nazi's were ignorant for killing that many people, but being ignorant enough to promote censorship is just as bad if not worse.
I'd rather fight for my life and be free then live easily under restriction and confinement.
Seen this on travel tv, in europe they have little paper clocks you can buy to toss on your dash with the time you parked... easy to tell if you're over the time limit, yippee!!!! a solution for under a million f'in dollars for no reason
Seriously why is parking so retarded expensive, it's the main reason nobody goes downtown!!!!
Oh that and the insanely over psychotic cops we have... maybe it's just where i live
legally if they press charges the photos have to be released or they're not able to be used in court. The process of discovery which would cover this would happen after charges are pressed.
That is how it works... I completely disagree with how it does but it does work that way currently.
Anyone charged of any crime should have full access to all evidence / statements / witnesses
Legally any citizen of any age has inalienable rights the second they are born in this country.
What does this mean?
Illegal Search and Seizure is not alienable for any reason (being 18, being in a school, etc...).
There was no due process to establish the necessity of the search or possible seizure.
The reason the word inalienable was used in the constitution was to explicitly define the fact that bullshit like schools / etc.. cannot invent their own rules to violate those rights. Inalienable means by definition you cannot be alienated from those rights period done.
Her parents should be suing the school into oblivion over this one. Violating the child's constitutional rights, not informing the child of their right to have legal counsel prior to consenting to this search, this whole case is stacked to the rafters of violations and gross sexual misconduct.
How do we know she really had ibuprofin that you couldn't find and wasn't just a sick scam by the school to strip a 13 year old girl for their own sick deviances?
At what point is the quest against drugs that we use in our daily lives becomes worth more then the people we're so called trying to protect / defend?
Frankly I think the girl should get to strip search every single one of these bastards that did this to her and win more then enough money for all the counseling she needs and so she can donate a giant 20 ft tall memorial to the us constitution right on the front lawn of the school.
Wow that would be utterly crazy, of course when I respond with raising a Nazi flag behind my desk I'll somehow get in trouble with HR, but the racist bullshit of India would pass cause HR departments are full of fucktards with no common sense and India is "ok" in their eyes.
The education complaint is a funny one, most of our poor complain about poor schools, yet they let their kids drop out. They complain about discrimination against a GED over a real diploma till you can't legally discriminate. How much lower can we go with standards in this country? Will a job app soon just have a line that says "Make your mark or grunt loudly"?
The real fix to education is greater enforcement, simple changes such as: * strictly enforced dress codes * strictly enforced codes of conduct (swearing, punching teachers, etc...) * tight security against drugs / weapons * remove distractions like cell-phones and wide open internet access * don't go to school, go to jail * remove the GED program, make everyone go through real high school, sorry but I've dealt with plenty of home schooled people and GED grads, for the vast majority they lack the necessary social skills to properly function * home work time @ school not home * school hours equating to work hours, more hours in the classroom, easier for parents to monitor kids * clean up the lunch rooms with true healthy foods, teach nutrition * daily exercise, not PE class, but true exercise programs, curb the fat kid problem in america, save me some taxes * teach real vocations in high school, graduate kids ready to go to the work force, that understand 40 hours a week or you don't eat. * teach real world economics, like how to buy a car, buy a house, etc... teach kids to understand basic budgeting and finance, teach them what a payday loan really is
While yes in the short term this would balloon the hell out of education costs, but the reduction in crime / poverty would reap massive benefits down the line
The American education system fails everyone on every side of the equation. Why do most affluent people send their kids to private schools? Because public is just that bad, I shouldn't drive by a public high school and see basically gangs of kids dressed like they're ready to hit the club not the books.
I really really hate how we give tax breaks to the poor CONSTANTLY, it's ridiculous.
Why can't everyone pay taxes equally and receive from the government equally?
It's crazy how little the low income actually contribute to the economy tax wise compared to how much they take.
I consider myself middle-class to slightly upper depending on the year and my job status, I pay ridiculous amounts of taxes, and I've never taken a dime of unemployment, welfare, social security, etc... certainly paid tons into all of these programs but I'll never use them.
If we want to fix this country it's going to take some hard line actions, like I'm sorry you were stupid enough to buy a home you couldn't afford, but you deserve to lose your home as a consequence. I make smart decisions to provide for myself, why should the government bail out everyone who refuses to educate themselves? I'd rather we make libraries 100% free instead of providing rebate checks so people can spend it on more xbox games and beer instead of their mortgage payments or helping their kids.
You can feed a man for a day by giving him a fish, or teach him to fish and feed him for a life time. Lets quit handing out cans of tuna and hand out some f'in common sense.
i'm sorry but maybe i missed the whole freedom of speech thing but last i checked it's sole purpose was to allow everyone to say ANYTHING regardless of content.
"While I may not agree with what you have to say, I'll defend your right to say it"
Maybe you should try hiring americans instead of abu's from india and robbing this country of a real future.
I hire only Americans, always have and always will. Love it or f'in leave it, foreigners belong in their home country instead of robbing us of any national identity.
IT developers are treated as bad as truck drivers were before the large unions came in to play.
This modern ideal that "diversity is good", is completely wrong, every time I deal with a large company that is "pro-diversity" says to me that they are anti-white male since we're defined as the majority, even if by population we are not. You can't be pro-minority without being a racist sexist bastard and a complete hypocrit. I'm all for pro-equality and giving all Americans a fair chance but this reverse discrimination and pro-diversification bullshit has to go along with outsourcing, preferably sometime before this country collapses. Then again we've already destroyed all civil liberties, all job stability, whats left to destroy?...no I'm not bitter... not at all... lol

at least someone is thinking rationally
Really?
This is pointless.

We wrote the constitution for a reason.
He's sworn to protect it
It's proof he hasn't read it
Sack him and be done with it for failure to do his duties.
We should have an annual test of all elected officials to make sure they know the constitution and pledge to protect and defend it properly.

when did whore become a gender?
so I guess I'm not the only one who sticks pieces of electrical tape over all the lights on the electronics?
Gee who'd a thunk when I want to watch a movie that 33+ LED lights of various colors could possibly be distracting...

I agree 100% with parent, a value tag would be massively simpler.
I kind of like how html5 ditches some old tags to try to push css along, but css is kind of hard to build out by hand
why should anyone ban hate speech?

Why bother with any of those techs?

Go with C# & ASP.NET
Hasn't the EU ever heard the saying "2 wrongs don't make a right".
While some people hate hate speech, that doesn't make it wrong for people to be able to express their opinions.
Censorship is wrong, in any way shape and form.
I may disagree with what you have to say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
I'd rather have an internet full of neo-nazi's and hate groups then people trying to tell me what to say & think.
Censorship is worse then racism, I'd rather be killed physically then controlled mentally.
I run a core 2 duo fanless
:) I love heatpipes
Using heatpipe technology fans really aren't needed
I use a giant heatsink that has a shrowd over it to connect to my slow moving 120mm rear exhaust fan
My pc is super high performance with 0 noise due to all 120mm fans, and fanless mobo, cpu, and gfx cooler
