If I drink too much, it's my fault. Not my glass, not the bartenders, not whom I'm with. My fault. I'm the idiot who didn't stop drinking.
Come on peeps, take responsibility for your actions. Seriously, the glasses fault that we might drink too much? What's next, it's our shoes fault when we speed?
But more seriously, instead of editing the genes so that Californian Grizzly doesn't eat people, they could do some editing so that they can be employed to pick oranges, that would be the day.
Whoa, slow down. if we get the bears to pick oranges, what are the illegals going to do?
This is why reporting bugs to the software developers is stupid. Post the bug into the public, so they have no choice but to upgrade. Corporations are run by people who want to spend as little as possible to make as much money as possible. They won't patch bugs unless they are forced. They need to be forced.
the problem with linux desktop was they suck. Instead of people making the best, useable desktop possible, you have 2 camps making pretty much the same desktop, splitting the camp into 2, then of course, you get other desktops thrown into the mix.
Windows, 1 desktop.
OS X, 1 desktop.
Had the linux community decided to back 1 desktop, make it fast, usable, and easy to install/configure, then maybe it would be a player. Instead, there is too many choices, split community's and it's a joke about This Is The Year of the Linux Desktop.
Bullshit. Sony did not 'leave your money sitting out front'. They left your money in the teller's drawer, as is normal practice. If someone comes in and reaches over the counter, opens the drawer, and removes the money, that person has committed a crime. Not the bank.
Stop making excuses for these 'kids'. Sony may have had lax security, but they did not commit a crime. The 'kids', on the other hand, willfully commited a crime. The 'fault' is entirely theirs.
If you could reach over and grab money that easy in my bank, then yes, my Bank is responsible for that money and it's security. Now, if I have to cut some 1 inch plastic shield, take care of some security guards to get to that money, then no, the Bank is doing their job of protecting my money.
The spin people are more likely to believe is that Samsung's products are by definition rip-offs of Apple, and therefore anybody who pays money for them has been ripped off. And Samsung just doesn't have the marketing chops to beat that spin.
You say that in a world where people gladly pay money for knockoffs. Can't afford an iphone? Get a samsung, looks just like it. Can't afford that designer purse? Get a knock off. Want people to think you are in designer clothes? Buy knock offs.
He's referring to the using of sex to get one's way/money/goods I believe. That's why when you get married, you stop getting it... because they already have everything you own.:o)
Sometime during the last year I realized that I was not eating healthy. My lifestyle mostly consisted of eating nachos and pizzas and playing World of Warcraft. While perfectly ideal lifestyle for young gamer, I realized I was getting too old for it.
Since then I've gamed and eaten healthy. I play with my Wii. I use Kinect for Xbox360. I eat Subway sandwiches.
And I feel better. You can't even imagine how good Subway's The Big Philly Cheesesteak and Subway Melt tastes. Omnomnom, some extra cheese and bacon to go. My choice of sauces usually includes light mayo and chipotle southwest in Italian Herbs & Cheese bread. I order all the veggies except for tomatoes. I don't know why but I just can't eat tomatoes on a subway or pizzas. Do you know what happens if my mom haven't bought me that days subway in my basement? I feel angry.
This new healthy lifestyle has not only improved the quality of my life but given me a reason to make it through Mondays. Sweet Onion flavor, mmmm. Ranch sauce.. Breakfast B.M.T gives me the extra power I require for Mondays!
Remember to game and eat healthy, folks!
I like subway, how much do they pay you post messages like this? Free food? I want in!
I game to pass time. It helps winds down the time till I die. One of the games I play is Everquest II. You end up doing a lot of grinding in the game. But grinding for purpose, not because it makes my mind numb. I grind to level up toons, for a quest, or probably to get a rare item to drop. But grind because I think that is what life is about? No.
Life is the grind. Does it make sense? No. Do you always get rewarded? No. Is it going to change? No. So is it so weird that we grind in a game for rewards? No, I don't think so.
And who is to judge why people play games? Does it really matter? The games are for escape, we all find our own way to escape reality. So what if someone is making up for whatever from their day job in a game? As long as they aren't being abusive towards others, I think whatever they want to do is fine.
The article? Stupid. I'm not even sure what the problem is. Apparently, if we play games where we do good, and in real life we are doing bad, the video games are bad for us. Because we are trying to get over are real life failures online.
Here's my take. Dude is a gamer that is hitting middle age. He's think back on all his wasted time in life and what he's missed out on, and want to blame it on video games. yes, another person blaming Real Life on video games.
.... I STILL haven't smoked enough to have become dumb enough to be happy in this world. Maybe I should have used alcohol or brownnosing? These seem to work extremely well, up to the point of all critical thinking stopping completely. No such luck with THC as of yet:/
If I had a dollar for every time my teenage pothead friends told me that weed was harmless, I'd be a very rich man.
Thing is, none of them did anything useful with their lives, or even had jobs. And now they're all completely drug-fucked wastes of space, to a man.
A spliff or two, now and again when you're old enough to handle it, might be okay. But when you're in your late teens, the stuff will destroy your mind -- because teens are inconsiderate, obnoxious douchebags, generally because the "not being a complete cunt" part of your brain is the last part of your brain to fully develop, and pot messes with its development.
Mod me down, potheads.
Do you know for a fact that without smoking weed, any of those friends would of "done something with their life"?
No, you don't? Then fuck off.
Of all the people I grew up with, maybe half of them are doing really really great. That means they currently have a job, a family, a house, etc. Now, 10% of whats left are the druggies, or peeps with mental problems that never go the help they needed to move on with life. Then there are the peeps who wish they had better, working paycheck to paycheck and barely surviving. That is life. About half do great, the rest barely get on.
For the record, I am in the barely get on group. yes, I smoked weed as a teenager, and I did lots of drugs, mainly Acid and MDA. you know what my problem was? Not the drugs, it was that I was dyslexic and ADHD. But I didn't find that out till I was in my mid 30's. All my drug use and confusion and frustration stems from my not getting the help I needed when I was a kid.
and last, what is something "useful" that peeps need to do with their lives? I had a goal, that is to smoke weed everyday, have a roof over my head and internet. I have reached that goal, and am happy. Does that make me a waste? Am I a nobody because I haven't ever written a piece of software that everyone wants? Or because I don't have a college degree?
Am I a blight on society because I am happy with my situation and smoke weed?
Sure, when we are kids we talk about the future, say we want to be the president, or an astronaut, a rock star, cure cancer or be a sports star. Guess what? reality hits us usually just after high school and some of us, well, we find we don't know what we want to be, and just deal with whatever life is dealt.
Just so you know, the 'wasted life' is fixing your car. the 'wasted life' just gave you some coffee. the 'wasted life' served you food, or even cooked your food.
Next time you think about 'wasted life' realize they are all around you.
oh, and for the record, i could of modded you down. yes, this wasted life stoner has plenty of mod points. But you wouldn't learn anything if I modded you down, hopefully if you read this, you might see that you are dick to judge others.
Breaking the law on a regular basis with a decent chance of being caught and treated harshly by the system probably correlates with a low IQ too, doesn't it?
Wtf? Dude. Most places Marijuana is a misdemeanor offense for having under an ounce on you. In fact, a lot of places don't prosecute the weed charges because they have too many serious cases on the books.
Here is the problem. Weed is becoming acceptable to everyone. States are seeing it as a way to make money, since the Federal Government is more worried about keeping a war going in the middle east instead of taking care of home. Since the Fed is still spending more money then we take in every year on this war, I see more states saying Marijuana is okay, and we are going to sell it.
(1) How do we stop the money? (2) And why should we bother? Spam is no more offensive than the spam I hear on the radio or TV.
I'm more worried about the war on nude photos. Did you her about the gay UK politician whose career was destroyed? They accused him of having nude children on his computer. They couldn't find anything but one image that "looked like" a teen but was later proved to be a 22 year old. (Guilty until proved innocent.) Then they tried to go after him for having gay images on his computer but of course that's not a crime.
The end result was the guy was fired from his job, received hate speech scrwled on his house, and now he's hiding. All because of the UK war on nude photos. (A war that also exists in Australia unfortunately.) Possession of an image, even if it's an actual murder scene, should not be a crime.
Well, to be fair, brits are pretty ugly and probably worse nude.
Disagree Mr. AC. I do not see how my belief in a creator undermines the engineering of this missile launcher I'm working on. Even my old college professor believes in god, but that doesn't stop him from publishing peer-reviewed articles about superstrings and quarks and the inflationary period (the very basis of creation). Perhaps you could enlighten us how our beliefs make us suck at our jobs. (insert crickets chirping in the silence)
I'm sure your "creator" ie, your Mom & Dad are glad you have a job and are able to pay the bills.
I'm sure your "professor" parents/creators are glad he has a job also.
Lets get real here, the only people that created any of us, was our parents.
Who created our parents? Their fucking parents. (get it, fucking parents? they fuck, ah, forget it.)
Actually, I'm pretty sure that, across the 73 years worth of Batman comics, with multiple simultaneous series (currently, there's something like ten or so ongoing comics that Batman is either the sole focus of, or one of the major cast of*), incest and people being tortured for religious beliefs has come up at least as many times as it has in the bible, if not more. The main difference there, is that in Batman, those things are almost always depicted as something negative.
* - Batman, Detective Comics, Batman and Robin, Batman: The Dark Knight, Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Batman Incorporated, Batman: No man's Land, Batman: The Streets of Gotham, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Batman Beyond, Justice League AND Justice League International, oh man, that's 12 just from the current month sales listing for DC, and I haven't even started on the Bat-spinoffs like Batgirl, Batwoman, Nightwing, Red Hood, Catwoman, and... Batman is being used by DC like Wolverine was being used by Marvel - he's everywhere, and apparently on or associated with every team. Poor guy needs a serious vacation.
I am going to point out i have digital copies of all of the various Batman comic books, and once i finish reading my collection of Hulk comics (at #460 now), I'll get on the Batman and document how much incest is in it, since it's the only thing you mentioned that is interesting.
Dog breeds are not evolution, perhaps in some liberal definition they are but any canine can breed with any other. Even wolves and breed with domestic dogs. Now if after 1000's of years we had come up with a line of animal derived from dogs but couldn't be breed with a dog then we might have something. Even if we could get to a dog that can breed with a wolf then we would have something. And size doesn't matter, if the sperm can fertilize the egg and get offspring that can also reproduce we have it. Horses + Donkeys = Mules is on the right track but still not quite there cause Mule + Mule = 0

If I drink too much, it's my fault. Not my glass, not the bartenders, not whom I'm with. My fault. I'm the idiot who didn't stop drinking.
Come on peeps, take responsibility for your actions. Seriously, the glasses fault that we might drink too much? What's next, it's our shoes fault when we speed?

But more seriously, instead of editing the genes so that Californian Grizzly doesn't eat people, they could do some editing so that they can be employed to pick oranges, that would be the day.
Whoa, slow down. if we get the bears to pick oranges, what are the illegals going to do?
They need 3 times as long to get the job done.
Rock Star Developers, seriously? None of them are that good.
ah shit, fucked the title up. I'd fix it, but no one is forcing me.

The Linux community hurt themselves in this case.
I play EQ2, quite often someone will say, we are having thunderstorms, might lose power.
So, all those people who lose power to storms might just think that the cloud can lose power in storms.
I know better, but I also live in a city, and don't tend to lose power.

And in your example, the money isn't protected.
And before any wannabe heros mod me down you might want to consider that YOUR data could be part of it.
Or next.
or vagina
Of course it is possible.
But then again it is pretty easy to believe the worst of a country that punishes female infidelity by stoning.
They get them stoned? Sounds like a reward, not a punishment.
"Pun Intended". Either people get it, or they don't. It's not clever if you have to point it out.
Thanks Pun Intended Nazi.

Possible, but unlikely.

Shit, if you sneeze in apples direction expect a lawsuit.
