Or is there still a group out there that thinks education is bad, mkay? Don't teach our kids about sexual health because (GASP) they might become sexually active! OMG STFU WTF.
Just this morning my local paper (Raleigh News and Observer) ran a letter to the editor from a gentleman who was outraged that UNC makes free condoms available at its health clinic. Thanks to the local sex ed curriculum most kids probably don't know what to do with them anyway.
It's like this: You're looking into the bedroom window of the hot naked girl across the street, and she pulls the blinds to stop you. Who if anyone committed a crime here?
If I am on a public right-of-way and she closes her blinds, then nobody. If she sends her boyfriend out to pull a sack over my head, there would likely be some legal issues.
As does alot of the world not in the united states but still grounded under it's definition of right and wrong is why can't a foreign self governing nation control its own airspace and space space. If I built a spy satellite and orbitted it over the united states I would be a terrorist and bombed in seconds. Why the difference for china?
Certainly you aren't so naive as to believe that the U.S. is the only country using spy satellites and that Russia and China don't have their own satellites orbiting over the U.S.?
They forget to mention that we would probably do the same (if not worse) to deter spy satellites over our own country. They also don't address the concept of whether or not a country has a righ to its own privacy here. I think we would want privacy for our country and should not be surprised or angered to find our attempts thwarted when spying on other countries.
You think Russia (and probably China) don't already have spy satellites orbiting over the U.S.? Get a clue.
Why is it that every dogood liberal thinks my choices are bad for society?
You really screw your credibility when you have to start blaming the liberals. I can see your point though. Certainly the "conservatives" would never judge other people's choices. OK, maybe they might not approve of homosexuality, but that's it. Oh yeah, and single/unwed mothers aren't really a big hit with them. Ooops, and you had better go to church every week. Errr...staying home and smoking a joint every once in a while won't win you their favor either. Other than that they really have no opinion on how other people live their lives!
Indeed. With my now four month old I am lucky to get in a couple of hours of gaming a week and that is only if my wife and daughter take a nap together while doing other things like working or mowing the lawn. So, a forty hour game would take me a mere five months or so to finish off. I usually settle for a few rounds of AA knowing that I likely will not get very far in a storyline-type game and it may be a couple weeks until I get back to it.
Not that this idea isn't totally half-baked but they are talking about "injecting" it into the stratosphere, which is above the level where rain is formed.
I think the main thing is that many people have neither the time nor motivation to research every thing that affects their lives beyond what the evening news or newspaper feeds them. I can't recall ever seeing anything on net neutrality anywhere other than on here and most people have better things to do with their lives than searching nerd news sites for things that might impact them.
Yes, all you city slickers are sooo much smarter than us dumb suburbanites. Sure needing a car is more expensive than public transportation, but I can still get to anything I need in five minutes and anything I want in thirty. And while commuting does cost money, usually the costs of housing and other essentials is quite a bit more within a city than without. OK, I only have two hospitals within fifteen minutes drive, but how many hospitals can I go to at once anyway? I do have to cut my grass, but then I have a place ten seconds away that I can go play with my daughter or dog or have a beer without having to listen to the din of a city. Kids in my neighborhood ride their bikes and play in the street with minimal supervision, too, despite the notoriously high suburban crime rate(??). Finally, I don't think my ass has gotten bigger but if it has I don't think being in the suburbs is the primary cause.
The last police fraternal blah-blah-whatever guy that called me tried to lay a guilt trip on me when I said I wouldn't donate even ten dollars. "Gee, I hope you never need a police officer". If I didn't have a house full of guests at the time I would have told him to f*** off. I usually try to at least be civil with telemarketers, but now knowing that most of these guys are scammers anyways, I won't bother with them.
In most cases, I would say - yes, it's a horrible thing to do, but he was being paid to do it. Now, if he were doing this voluntarily, I would say fine the fuck out of him, but everyone's got to have a job, even if you don't really believe in the methods behind it.
This has got to be the funniest shit I have read in a long time.
After all, he neither talks about sex nor does he speak out for free speech or applying common sense.
Well, some of his books do contain some sex. More importantly though, a lot of that horror stuff that he write contain references to things that are downright unholy. The Dark Tower series went on for thousands of pages about an alternate pseudo-religion in which the characters allowed their lives to be steered by ka. It all sounds pretty blasphemous to me.
Playboy is not only stocked in many libraries, but has the distinction of the being the most stolen item, the main reason for not stocking it
While doing research in the library at the University at Buffalo, I was surprised to discover that they had Playboy on microfilm! I guess you never know when someone might have to look back to see what the turn-ons of Miss May 1985 were. I don't recall seeing it out with the current periodicals though.
No, you can't have our facny sci-fi word to make chemistry sexy. You'll have to do that on your own.
Sorry, but just because you guys want nanotechnology to refer exclusively to whiz-bang, self-replicating micro-machines does not make it so. Nanotechnology takes advantage of the properties of nanoscale materials to do things that are impossible or less efficient with macroscale materials. While this could conceivably include little robots it also includes more boring things such as self-assembling nanowires or more efficient catalysts and filters.
However I do agree that calling this hair dye nanotechnology is a stretch and the word is abused for marketing purposes.
In addition to all this, some outlandish/development level toilets are now performing analysis of your output to determine medical problems (sugar levels, etc).
<tinfoil hat>
How long before these toilets are snitching to your health/life insurance company about your eating habits???
But this would only make a small dent in the amount of water used for irrigation at best. According to the summary, household water usage accounts for only 8% of total human consumption while irrigation accounts for 74%. So if all the household water could be recycled (doubtful), it would reduce irrigation needs (at their current levels) a whopping 10%. Not completely negligible, but then there would be quite a bit of infrastructure and energy needed to pump that sewage cross-country.

I guess we could count firefox, linux, and OSS in general as failures, too.

It is considered insightful to remark that you consider someone else's comment insightful? Without even expounding the slightest on how it was so?
If that is the case, I must say that your pointing out the insightfulness of the GP was in itself quite insightful.
Please mod me up.

I assumed he was talking about his wife's cat. Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen a sheep with a pet cat though.
You can have my warez when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.

For Pete's sake, does every discussion eventually have to devolve into America bashing? ;)
And easily persuaded, too. Badgered by some fish? My dog would make this guy his bitch and have him outside throwing the frisbee all day long.

No, just "yeast" would suffice (and be more precise).
