Hmmm. You either copy and pasted that reply redundantly or you two should hook up pronto.
Your point is moot as by publishing to a public internet site, you have opted in. Otherwise it would be a VPN or at the least a privileged site protected by a password.
If you have a site on the www, it means it can be queried by ANYONE. Regardless of if you like it or not. To say otherwise would be to broadcast a message on FM radio and complain that someone heard it and spoke about it.
There are ways around this: password protection and robots.txt.
The world does not work for google, rather google works on the internet. If you don't want to put the extra effort in to secure it, then don't put it on the web to begin with or you lose all rights to complain.
Would you sympathize for a bank having all their customer data on an insecure website but blaming it on people who visited the link when they "should have understood they shoudn't have"?
Was the ">" signsupposed to mean tech wise or price wise?
Last I checked: Wii == 250$USD and PC == 800$+(1200$+ if you wanna get crazy)USD
How bout this: when was the last time you were able to bring your PC to a friend's house with the easy of a console? What about being able to use your computer for serious things without worrying about something like StarForce fucking with your IDE channels?
What about playing a game like Smash Bros where you all sit on the couch and beat the shit out of each other? Personnaly, I find that pretty damn fun. LAN parties don't generally work that way.
Or maybe, just maybe, PC games have their place and consoles too. And that the ability to experiment with a unique control system(tilt you mouse on it's side and see if your fucking avatar kneels), on an easy to start, set up and carry system guaranteed to run every game you get for it without banging your head could be pretty damned interesting.
I am not going to say all animal activists are insane hypocritical arsenists and terrorists. I do believe in some animal rights. But rest assured some are(PETA). This man had his family threatened. That is terrorism. Period.
As for swearing making me seem smarter to dumb people; Judging from your response, I will assume it's not working. Or maybe you typed that sentence in to sidestep my original point: millions of diabetes sufferers worldwide are alive because of some animal testing. Find me some fucking statistic disproving that tidbit.
I apologize for the over-use of profanity, but while I consider myself very left leaning, I have absolutely no patience for far left-wing fanatical wingnuts who would rather throw firebombs then educate themselves(putting them on equal ground with most terrorists).
Being political only means something if you understand and educate yourself in everything, not just moronic propaganda no matter on which wing you find youself.
And while I do apologize for the swearing, I do certainly hope that karma(or anything especially painful) takes its toll on you should you ever support, encourage or aid in any activity aimed at terrorizing your fellow man and his family and friends.
My mom has diabetes. I know others who have different types of diabetes. Your quoted article deals strictly with type 2. If type 1 or type 3 diabetes people tried this, they would probably die.
Fuck you. Oh but, you were too busy defending arsenists, terrorists and ignorant bastards who look at HALF an article and think it justifies their ends(sound familiar)?
And no, I don't know a person in an animal lab, but I sure as fuck know a few doctors. And I value their opinion a helluva lot more then a fucking arsenist's.
You heard the monkey say "no"? Did it sign a document saying it didn't want to? Did its family form a protest group outside the facility?
If you want to talk manurisms(it seemed the fear the needle or have an instinctive desire to get away), then the chicken I ate for supper probably didn't agree to having its head chopped off.
I certainly don't know of anyone who consented to have the HIV virus use their bodies to grow and propagate, but hell, the HIV virus went ahead and did it anyway.
In case you haven't noticed, Nature's a bitch. A real nasty woman. Frankly, that we even extend the courtesy of making the animal as comfortable as we are able is counter-intuitive and really unnatural(I'm glad we do, however).
As for comparing a monkey with children....either you don't have kids or they should have some pretty fucking low self esteem right about now. Do you think the monkey would care if we jabbed a sword through our chests? How bout if we jabbed one through its offspring's chest? I bet you it would care about that one. So are monkeys evil too?
The animals are treated as best they can under the circumstances and the results are used not only to save your sorry ass, but may also be used to save their sorry asses as well.
Animal testing does not work? One word, INSULIN. Heaven help you if you ever get diabetes. Hell take you if you're actually excusing the actions of the terrorists who threatened this guy's family. Yes, terrorists. The word used properly for a change. (n)Person or group who uses terror to achieve a goal or agenda.
I also loved you fucking quote about using number crunching and stats to solve all biological problems. Here's a wild fucking guess: You are neither a pharmacist, organic chemist, doctor or even hold any real degree in biology.
Reserve the harsh criticism until they actually sue someone.
Google has to make an effort to protect their trademark(even if it means just sending a C&D letter) or they lose it. Period. It wasn't evil, it was responsibility.
If your original point was the bulk of modern sci-fi literature is licensed, unoriginal, awful, clichéd crap, then I agree.
But then again, the bulk of fantasy is the same(elves, dwarves, humans, gnomes, magic wizards....how many frikkin permutations does it take to rehash someone else's creativity?)
Granted his science is old, but he goes very deeply into it. Skin grafting in the Island of Dr Morrow. How the aliens landed in War of the Worlds, the development of the eyeless people in the Valley of the Blind, the multi-page description about how time travel works, human evolution, the origin or the Morlocks, etc... in The Time Machine. HG Wells was a scientific futurist as well. He was actually invited to consult the president on a few occasions.
I have an ATI card and their remote wonder II. Their hardware is awesome. However, their software just plain blows. Their website is horrid and their support is disgusting. I got my card with a currupted driver disc. As there are things in there you couldn't download from the ATI site, I tried to get ATI to send me one. After being hung up on 3 times, calling an extra 4 times(note, this stuff ain't toll free), getting automated email responses etc... I finally got the damn CD.
On top of that, the RWII was a mail in rebate that came with the AIW card. Four months later, another nightmare because they had misplaced my application and receipt even though I tracked the letter straight to their offices.
Their products manuals blow, their site is uninformative, they have no linux drivers, they have no stereo drivers....yaaaaargh. I really hope this buyout causes some change in that regard.

I'm sorry, but I gotta say it. This thread you two got going is the coolest thing I've read on slashdot in a while.
Carry on:)

Get your head out of your ass.
Well said and alot more eloquent then I've been able to put it so far. I got too worked up(and smashed) to put up much of an argument of late^^;

I so wish I could mod you down.

do that but replace "degauss rings" which wouldn't work well with the HDD shielding with "thermite detonator":)
You read TFA, you stated a point and explained it.
Well done sir:)
But CD rippers may still. Lots of rippers handle dualdisc just fine.
And you can bet EAC does.
Besides, he may be putting the mp3s on the disc too for all we know.
Not saying he will or that dualdisc is a good idea, jez saying(that and I'm sleep deprived, mod me down out of mercy)
Enough with the google as a verb thing.
Reserve the harsh criticism until they actually sue someone.

I like that:)

Have you even read H.G. Wells?

Unfortunately, the thing fails to notify you of slashdotting...unless it screams in pain O_o
Master, you site has been linked on slashdooooAAAAAAAAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHH KIIILLL MEEE AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHH OH THE PAIIINN
I was thinking "Cyberbrain"
And I am ashamed.
then again, an Eva had the battery life of your average Dell laptop.
Since when do you get a blowjob out of having a pretty Sony Playstation?
I hope you gave your PC a booster shot then cleaned it with bleach afterwards
ain't Bearshare the same as Kazaa and LimeWire in that it rots your computer from the inside to generate revenue?
japanese games = androgynous characters
wouldn't be too surprised if Tidus and Luna's skin were easily interchangeable.
