It seems like it might be fun? I dunno. I can't see wearing one to work, it would be a waste of time and would hardly complement a professional image(oh god when did I become an adult), but when I'm playing an RPG with friends, why wouldn't I want to keep my character sheet/DM notes on a tiny corner of my vision? When I'm going on a bike ride with my girlfriend, why wouldn't I want to be able to record it?
I don't think I'll buy the "all the time" type usage google suggests, but toys can be fun.
Backpacks are more acceptable. The set of things that don't fit into my pockets that don't justify a backpack: sunscreen. I can literally think of nothing else.
How did this get modded up? It's been made in in each of the billion previous glass threads that they have versions that can be fitted with prescription lenses.
But malaria affects people on other continents. Don't you know ethics only applies when you can see other people suffer personally? And it stops mattering entirely if you put on a business suit first.
Close... I'd say gestater, and new parents. If you adopt, you should have leave to spend time with your child, but you don't need 8 weeks to handle the last 2 months of pregnancy.
If I had to place a guess, I'd guess it goes all the way back to the Roman republic. There was a legal principle there called "Mater semper certa est," which much like in Judaism, rulings about uncertain ancestry were determined strictly by the mothers. I believe the concept also spilled over to divorce, but divorce wasn't really common until the modern era, so it's possible we're still working all this out.
That's not what I said at all, thanks. The rest of your post is pretty mindless babble blindly attacking a group people, the very thing you're ostensibly trying to prevent.
Con-gratu-fucking-lations. You win today's ignorance contest hands-down.
Which should be grounds for immediate dissolution of the company. The fact that they won't stand by their contracts in a court of law means that they don't really care about upholding their end of the bargain. Poison to a capitalist economy.
No, in this case, it's not our government, but the trash-per-capita, an artifact of our consumerist society, that does hold substantial individual liability. While I don't endorse "prejudice by averages" as that leads to all sorts of fallacious beliefs that harm people.
That doesn't justify your stupid comment, because the GP didn't mention our government at all.
I think you may be missing the point of condemning racism if you find it acceptable to casually condemn an entire region as being of similar mind. That said, the south wouldn't have as much trouble with racism as it does, if it weren't for the pervasive denial of racist things as racist. So don't take my post as defending that.
If you go up to a an elderly customer who's suffering from Alzheimer's and ask them to pay their bill several times, that's fraud. The user knew their actions weren't acceptable. I knew when I posted I'd get a million people giving me the damn open door fallacy. I even tried to head it off in my comment.
If you knowingly trick a computer into giving you money that's not yours, it's not any different than tricking a person into the same. Open door fallacies are the worst.
I don't see how new IRC networks spawning over the course of time and dividing the IRC user base with lines separating differing subcultures is not balkanization. But I am pretty sure that that it's definitely not the opposite. You think I'm having trouble with high school history, whereas you've got trouble with kindergarten vocabulary.
My opinion is like this, but less antagonistic. Developers go to three places as far as APIs are concerned: #1. Where the money is. Sorry blackberry you missed that train. iOS or android is going to be far better in that regard. #2. Where it's fun. Something about business oriented phone software doesn't call me in that regard. #3. Where it's really, really, really easy to whip out applications. Maybe, but I doubt it.
IRC is in fact still a robust system for talking to people by text. Data organized into relevant streams called channels, with mechanisms for self-policing built in. There's a lot of modernity to, say, skype, but fundamentally, IRC has all the basic mechanisms done well in an open way. But unlike these services, IRC is automatically balkanized, not only do your friends have to use the same technology, they have to use the same IRC networks.
See, there being bad rules is not the same as all rules being bad. We can fix the broken ones that do harm. Pretending that the free market just automatically works in everyone's best interests before doing so is crazy.
The answer to every problem isn't freedom, just many.

Ok, so, what exactly is something nerds were using 20 years ago that "mainstream" people aren't using all the time now?

Can we make sure xxxJonBoyxxx never reproduces? Not just for the gene-pool's sake, but for his children.

Then that wouldn't be fraud, moron. I can't believe how god-damned contentious the assertion that "fraud is bad" is with libertarians.
Programmed != clearly intended design.
Bugs should be fixed, yes, but that doesn't excuse exploiting them.
Did I say I was in favor of that stupid law? No. I didn't. What I said is that fraud is what has taken place here.

I think "for personal use" and "CD" is a pretty clear definition that doesn't include p2p. Apples, oranges, both fruit, right?
Bad management is always protected. You can get at bad management when you inherit from Bad Management.

It's as appropriate a usage as the summary's. Historical accuracy of metaphorical language is not as important as parallelism in communication.
Was I? I think I just said exactly what was true: I heard something, and gave my hypothetical response to it.
