Do you have a reading comprehension problem, or are you just plain stupid???
Please re-read the past few posts, try to think real hard, then come back and make your posting.
Just to help you: I HAVE DEFENDED WOMEN IN THAT JOB, ASKING WHY IN THE WORLD I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE ONE OF THEM TEACH MY CHILDREN, GIVING A POSITIVE EXAMPLE OF A DEAR ONCE-FRIEND-OF-MINE WHO WAS IN THAT JOB!!! It is the anonymous coward above, whom you should spend your vitriol on, not me!
Boy, the level of stupidity around here is sometimes staggering! Go on, mod me down into oblivion now, I don't care. People like you just make me sick! >:-(
Now, why should I decline to hire an ex prostitute to teach my children? Why do you think having fallen so deep at some point in your life to have to sell your body to earn for living somehow disqualifies you from being a good teacher?
For some things in life, actually, I suppose a prostitute, ex or not, would be a very good choice for teaching kids. And I don't mean *those* aspects you now think of.
I have met a plentitude of really bad teacher in my life. AND I once knew an ex prostitute and a hard drug user. I tell you my friend ex-prostitute was a way better and more compassionate person than all those bad teachers put together. Actually, once she goot of the hook, she even got her MSc.
Maybe you should re-think the way you value people some time.
Sorry, but this is not correct. Yugoslavia was always one state, with a one army, one government, one economy, one anthem, one flag... and so on. Republics of Yugoslavia were from the first day actually much less "independent" than the single states in the USA are.
Republics of Ex-Yugoslavia had the right not to join the federation after the WWII. Once they joined the federation, they had no legal rights to leave. I should know that, my parents come from there.:-)
I most sincerely doubt it's different in any other country in the world - no part of any country can just say "sorry guys, good-bye, we're leaving." and expect the rest of the country to say "oh, swell, farewell and send us a post card!"
Ok, I already see the mountain of comments along the lines of "well, I surely wouldn't object if xxx chose to leave", but it doesn't change a thing about what I just said.:-)
You're laughable, you know that? It was YOU who started this thread by challanging the rest of the world to tell about the disk usage of a typical Linux installation. Now that I gave that info to you, you first tried to twist the numbers, then you went to explain how arguing OSs is not your favourite occupation.
Finally, you AGAIN tried to argue your point (what is it now, do you like it or not?), by saying "windows is far from naked, you see, there is IE, and Media Player"!
Oh, come on Czech, this was not even a nice try, this was pathetic! Go re-read the past few posts and think again.
Tip: if a NAKED INSTALL OF Win7 takes 6-9GB, compared to a FULL BLOWN LINUX INSTALL WITH A PLENTITUDE OF SOFTWARE taking approx. half that space, then the claim that Win7 "isn't that far off from the popular Linux distro" is plain false. Much rather, it IS a bloated corpse. Even if the 20GB claim of the original poster was a bit off the spot.
KUbuntu 8.10, with Open Office and a SHITLOAD of other programs (compilers, mysql, posgresql, editors, kdevelop, gimp, google earth, linux kernel sources, two different JDKs,... whatnot!) adds up to 5.8G on my system.
Not at all. What I had a problem with is all those tediously long and completely unneccessary scenes where characters just gaze into the woods, trying - in vain - to look [scared / worried / compassionate / contemplating / wise / whatever]. All that in slow motion, while having to listen to infuriatingly pathetic music, which would much better suit one of the so-called "chick flicks" than a work of Tolkien. This "dead time" accounts for at least 15% of the series!
If one of the strength of Tarantino is that he somehow manages to get the best out of the actors he works with, it seems to be Jackson's talent to bring out the very WORST in his cast.
Well. I enjoy abstract artworks that I need to completely interpret for myself...:-) And as a such, it was a GREAT piece of abstract art (like with any other art, the most abstract art is just plain rubbish)
Besides, I also read the book, very shortly after seeing the movie (the other way around would have been better, of course).
Oh boy, post the you don't like the LOTR movies, and see one LOTR fan calls your son mongoloid and the other calls you a fucking retard - all within a few minutes.
I guess this sort of answers my question, doesn't it?
Oh boy, have *we* different oppinions about the LOTR series!:-) Just what is it, that makes Jackson's trilogy "one of the best movies ever made"? I found them unbelievably boring! With nice special effects, yes, and also filmed in a nice corner of the world, but the movies were - in my oppinion - just plain boring.
I'm afraid it's because the vast majority of the moviegoers out there are just not capable of watching a movie any more if it's not crammed full with special effects and made for a 5-year old to understand.
I suppose 2001, one of my favorite movies, would be a complete failure if it were to be shown to todays public.
I'd take Lynch any time over Jackson for Foundation. What Jackson did with LOTR is just unexcuseable. Even my 7-years old son found the LOTR movie boring (some 1:15 into the movie he said "pleasee dad, can we watch something else"?)
I'll never understand why LOTR *the movie* has so many fans!
I can't stand those rich Wall Street fat slobs either (really - I just loath them), but the problem is, that if all the rich suddenly get broke and poor, the middle class (that's me, and - I guess - you) is screwed just as well, because the complete system breaks down.
Of course, one could say screw the system, let the world burn, but the problem is, once the fire goes out, the same rich fat slobs shall crawl out of their lairs and take over the world again, just as if nothing happened.
One more thing: I'm not a US citizen, so I might be wrong on who woted "aye" to the questionable bill, but I seem to remember, that it was just about everybody and their dogs (at least in the second round). So, whom did you really vote out?

Some of them might, but most of them hate it. Trust me on that one.
Anyway, it changes nothing with respect to what I *actually* said, does it?

Now, EMACS is a big boy, but puting it in the same memory-hogging-basket with Eclipse is really unfair... :-)
Oh, ok. Sorry, misunderstanding. :-)
Sorry, but this is not correct. Yugoslavia was always one state, with a one army, one government, one economy, one anthem, one flag... and so on. Republics of Yugoslavia were from the first day actually much less "independent" than the single states in the USA are.
Nobody said it did. Unfortunately.
No they didn't.

Consider this conversation over.

Your point was exactly... what?
Heard that swooooshing sound? Ever wandered what it was? :-)
No, that was Sony.
Not at all.

Hyperhidriosis is not necessarily related to body weight. It's not only the "fat guys" who get pit stains.

Whoever modded this "Troll" actually just proved my stance correct.
If I had any mod points today, I'd rather mod it double-insightful!
This is the very best reply on this topic I have ever read. I applaud you, and I wish I had some modpoints today.
