I think it is rude to talk on the phone and eat at the same time.
I also think humans recognize one man talking out loud to himself to be crazy.
I find that dining with people having conversations on their phone is like trying to eat with crazy people around talking to themselves.
I also find it more difficult to ignore a person talking to their self, than to ignore a normal conversation between two people. I don't think the volume has much to do with it being an annoyance.
There are not 55 million people who benefit from republican policies.
I do believe there are 55 million gullible Americans who vote republican.
I do not believe there are 55 million citizens of the United States of America who have derived any benefit from republican policies.
If someone will believe the earth is thousands of years old, and Jesus was born of a virgin, raised, killed, raised from the dead, and ascended to an extra terrestrial world, and evolution doesn't happen . . .
I'm sorry, why should I give a fuck what these people think of my colorful characterization of their party ?
The republican party, led by George w bush, IS a foreign government ! Katrina is the domestic policy of the Republican party. Iraq is the foreign policy of the Republican party. The national debt is the fiscal policy of the Republican party.
The only thing Republicans today have in common with the party of Lincoln is they use the name Republican for their party.
Republicans have replaced slaves with low wage, third world labor. Republicans have replaced slave owners with corporate bosses. Republicans have replaced plantations with corporations.
I see no evidence the republicans give a shit about the rights of anyone that bleeds red blood. They are a party that caters to the corporate citizens of the United States.
The republicans have a domestic policy and we saw it in Katrina. The republicans have a foreign policy and we see it in Iraq. The republicans have a fiscal policy, and we see it in our debt.
And no matter how anti-war, and libertarian he may be, he is running on the republican ticket. A vote for a republican is an endorsement of the policies of this administration.
Fuck That !
Ron Paul suffers from his alignment more than from his voting record. I want nothing to do with another republican in the whitehouse.
This list is about getting people comfortable with the idea of having to carry their papers, and adjusted to the idea of being denied access because their name is on a list.
Like was hinted at in the summary, I suspect this list is receiving very little human curating. My gut instinct says the names represent a 'social network' so many degrees of separation from the 'terrorists'.
I fear the 'terrorist' watch list is only the beginning. Soon we may have a 'child molester' watch list of equal accuracy, or 'gang', 'drug', 'psycho', 'medical' etc.
I am on the list that gets SSSS stamped boarding passes.
I refuse to show papers to travel within my own country.
I have a boarding pass. I have made transportation arrangements with the private carrier of my choice. I have completed my private business transaction. They got the money, and I got my boarding pass.
I'm pro security in airports. Everybody should be subjected to the same interrogation by security.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
1) I walk into a store and buy nothing. Am I obligated to produce a receipt to leave the store ?
2) I buy something and leave the store. Do I now have less rights than a non-customer ?
3) Let say that I refuse to show a receipt, and walk from the store. The store has two legal options. They can let me go, or they can accuse me of shoplifting and call the cops. THAT is what their options are, nothing more.
4) My financial records, and the contents of my shopping bag are my personal property. Show me the search warrant, you do have one to search my property right?
I believe I was born with the right to resist unwarrant, unjustified, unconstitional searched of my property.
What the HELL is wrong with you, that you hand over your rights without a second thought ? You sir are a terrorist. Your ideals threaten the safety and liberty of the American population, and ultimately I fear people like you will destroy what remains of this countries civil liberties.
If the candidates response to the Jena 6 is any indication, no, there are no candidates stepping up to address human needs in America, let alone globally.
If I am a company, *I* must manage the merging of upates into my local tree. *I* pay the stupid tax everytime there is an update.
If I am a GPL project, *I* still pay the tax. my *users* are unware of any such tax. I'm paying the stupid tax so others won't have to.
If I am a *user* of a GPL project, I don't pay any stupid tax. Most people fall into this category. THIS is why there is a difference to the people who use the code.
So while there is little difference in the effort to keep the code updated, comparing company vs GPL project.
Companies don't give back their changes though, and GPL projects do.
This makes GPL projects like the Jesus of the software world, sacrificing their time for the benefit of the group.
People who choose a BSD licensed piece of code over a GPL equivalent pay a stupid tax.
I think most of the $350+ price is in technology that makes the device unusable after a certain amount of water has been filtered. While touted as a safety feature, it really isn't. In a survival situation, if my water filter decides it has done enough and quits, I am S.O.L. and drinking water anyways. I suspect this filter is designed to shut off, well before it stops being effective.
There are already lots of filtration options for campers and backpackers, but they are generally much cheaper than this one. I'm not sure what this brings to the table, other, than it monitors its usage and stops functioning after a volume of liquid has been filtered.
For dissaster response, A charcoal filter removes chlorine taste, and chlorine kills viruses and bacteria. If time is not an issue, a spoon full of bleach, a five gallon bucket, and some 0.4um charcoal filters are much cheaper and easier.
$385 sounds about right for the military though, not surprised they jumped at the bargain and bought them all.
Assuming both c and l types can make the appropriate decision given enough time, we can then say the only time it really matters is under pressure.
I can not think of a situation that is more black and white than push the button if,and only if, you see 'X', and yet, this is the test that c types did worse than l types.
Sadly, the real world only gets more complicated than this.

flying today, as a whole, is total BS.

Knowing WHO I AM, makes nobody safer.
But now it is suppose to be using a pull string.
"Go right ahead sir, I'm just charging my computer", as you stand
up and pretend to be pull starting a chainsaw.
or tie a little handle on the end of it and pretend you are at
the gym during the sales pitch.
I think there is still hope for this machine

No, we can't live without music and movies.
Those are cultural experiences.
As a human, living in an organized society, I'm
entitled to participate in my own culture.
Like you say, I could live in the woods, gathering
and the like. But I actually live in a society,
so lets, only take that scenario into account.
There is no right to own and sell culture.
Will you be my running mate ?
You managed to write a response and not defend your position that
this is an empty gesture at all, but you did attack mine.
I could use someone like you on my team.
what happens if more artists start their shows with a speech like this
What exactly makes this an "fairly" empty gesture ?
Was it when he stood in front of people who PAID to witness his art live, and said they could go ahead and steal the SONGS ?
Was it when he stood there in front of people who PAID for his CD and said they needed to do no such thing.
Was it when he exposed his CDs as over priced, hurting his sales
that this turned into an empty gesture ?
Perhaps it all became an empty gesture when he turned away CD sales
from people who would have bought the CD after the show ?
If more artists started performances like this, would it really be
an empty gesture ?
bingo, or at least that is how I see it too.
maybe most of those 92% of desktops are also counted as servers for spam and bot networks.
um, window 704 is floating over what
ever the user was doing, and it is
displaying advertisements.

I had arranged private transportation, and the government stepped in
and demanded papers.
You call it how you see it, I'll call it how I see it.
You did not have somebody touching your cock because you don't carry the proper papers.
The government could just as easy stop walker and demand to see the papers on public roads.
What flavor was the kool aide ?
I HAD government issued photo Identification on me.
I was trying to fly from Oakland to Detroit.
I could not produce a drivers license.
I did not drive to the airport.
I did not intend to drive the plane.
I did not intend to drive on vacation.
I was not allowed to proceed. I HAD TO go get a special
semi - strip seach before I was handed papers that would let me travel.
This was December 2006, in the United States of America.
MY right to travel without papers was infringed.
You have no point.
The price could be fine, but are the three songs of value ?
1) HotSingle (Radio edit)
2) HotSingle (Explicit)
3) HotSingle (Extended dub mix)
4) Free* ringtone
