Problem is, before people had cell phones, an emergency in a movie theater, bar, whatever, was handled by picking up the closest phone and calling the emergency number in your area.
Maybe theaters, bars, whatever, need to start actively kicking out rude people who are on their phones disturbing people around them. I know I'd be more likely to go to a place that bans cell phones and actively enforces that rule.
So if I'm ever accused of a crime I admit to killing 40 people, name names, and when those people turn up alive or having died in a different way than I have described I'm let go and all suspicion is dropped?
"ended up with the workers getting LOWER wages than what they would have gotten without union intervention," Don't forget to factor Union dues into that, so it was even lower than that.
Yeah, Wal*Mart sure has a monopoly on stores that sell cheap crap for low prices. Target, you say? Never heard of 'em. K-Mart? No such thing. It's Wal*Mart and only Wal*Mart.
Fact is, to compete with Wal*Mart you need to pay your employees more, train them better, keep your store clean, and offer prices that are as close as you can get them to Wal*Mart's prices without sacrificing the quality of the store and staff. I prefer Target simply because that store is clean and the employees don't just leave garbage in the aisles. Target Employees tend to also be more helpful and I've actually encountered a few who knew something about the item I was looking for! Wal*Mart on the other hand hires people who couldn't possibly care any less about the products they are selling let alone know where they are in the massive dirty store.
Even if she had committed the crime it's clear that after serving two years she was rehabilitated enough to not murder again, since she hasn't killed anyone else. And unless you admit that jail time is more about punishment than rehabilitation it has served its purpose in this case.
You're forgetting that if all you boomers dropped dead there's all that social security money you're stealing from us that can come right back to our pay checks.
Yeah, because all the kids these days are Republicans. I mean, just listen to the popular music, it's all about how great GWB is.
OHWAITNO. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the vast majority of the young voters are Democrats (because they don't know any better) and the boomers were the cattle herded into the GWB camp.
I always found Mike to be like that funny uncle you're told never to act like. Joel, to me, always seemed like a stoner cousin you think is funny sometimes but mostly just feel bad for.

You can spend at least a week straight reading the background of the Warhammer 40k universe, I know I did. Wikipedia has just about everything about that universe. Is that more notable than a popular webcomic artist who also hosts some of the most popular podcasts on the topics they cover? Scott Johnson, of , hosts multiple podcasts and has TONS of subscribers and listeners, but every time an article for him is put up it's deleted almost instantly. To someone who isn't interested in 40k but is a huge fan of Scott Johnson, his article would seem noteworthy and the Warhammer 40k ones would seem un-needed.
In his defense the show is on Sunday night at around midnight. I don't watch it when it's on, I always forget that TV exists and time is passing when I'm doing other things.
You're forgetting that before video games kids played cops and robbers and the like. Without the video games kids would do the same.
Older people want to have some fun and if they don't play video games they go sky diving or bungee jumping. Or they learn to fly a plane. Or they take one of those race car driving classes.
You may think that you're being funny or making a point but if you step back and look at the reality of it all you'd see that you're close to the truth, and you'd be a lot closer if you dropped the attitude.
I installed leopard the other day on my MBP and needed to extract a.rar during my post OS-install setup. I downloaded UnRarX and dropped it into my "applications" folder. I didn't launch it, I simply dropped it into a folder after dragging it out of a.dmg image. When I right clicked the.rar a second later OS X knew that UnRarX could handle that file and listed it as a program that I could use to open this file.
You don't have to use the "File And Setting Defaults Manager" or whatever it's called in XP and Vista, the OS knows what apps can open the file and lists them.
Look at some of the freakiest chicks in porn, most of them have very religious families. I.. have a friend who knows of at least 3 superfreaks who were raised as proper Mormon girls.
Hell, look at some of the most messed up people you personally know, most of them will also come from very religious backgrounds.
But the evidence that he has a brain exists. The evidence of a magical creature living in the sky who loves you unless you do something tiny that pisses him off, in that case you can burn in a pit of fire for eternity, does not.

I'm willing to be the guy that calls bullshit on comparing cell phones to polio vaccines and CT scans.
If you think you can compare them you're really missing the point.

Oh, I get it. You're trolling. You almost got me there.

Wait until February when the SDK will be released.

Ooh.. since we're pretending personal experience is actually worth something let me include mine!
89 Accord. Bought it in 2000. More miles on it than a cheap hooker. Only had to change the oil, never had any problems for the 3 years I owned it.
The goal of prison is rehabilitation. I hear that all the time. Are you claiming that the actual reason we use prison is punishment?
It's Caturday. The average /.'er works a Mon-Fri job and only goes in on weekends if it's an emergency.

But don't blame me, I voted Badnarik.

If you found a Benz for under $10k let me know.
Have you tried ripping the songs with your computar? Most ripping programs are really good at ignoring scratches.

Most people in Vatican City are religious!
