I've been playing FPS games heavily, and I jump CONSTANTLY because a part of me is still a 13 year old with ADD, and I've had the same keyboard for 6 years now. And it's not a 'good' keyboard. The nubs on my f and j key are gone.. the letters are still there, but it's white letters on black plastic so that doesn't fade too quickly.
she, on the other hand, broke the space bar on 3 keyboards within a year. and then she complains about arthritis....... no, that's just BRUISING. CALM DOWN.
That shit's so convoluted that I tried and couldn't find it.
The larger the beaurocracy, the more obfuscated the details.
In this particular case, I actually DID wind up finding it -- but not because it's clearly marked, nope. There's a link under "Methods and Science" listed simply as "The Brazilian Proposal". That's all.
Oh, and the actual methodology they use to address that issue? I still can't find it, there's about a dozen links under "Brazilian Proposal" to all sorts of shit that have a dozen links each...
That's gotta be one of the worst, least-informative, least-easily-navigable websites I've ever seen. Good lord. I'm quite sure it was Design By Committee..
Don't tell me China and India didn't benefit from past emmissions.
Unless they're completely independently going to develop their industrial complex.
They're not? Gonna borrow from what the rest of the world has already learned? You're benefitting from past emmissions. BUCK UP KIDDO, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to BUILT a modern, low-pollution industrial plant and transportation infrastruction, than it is to RENOVATE that shit.
I was with you until the significantly-less-than-the=speedlimit part.
That's just ridiculous. Speed limits are almost as a rule too *low*, not too *high* -- and on a highway, traffic moving significantly slower than the majority of other vehicles presents a hazard. A car going 5mph under the speed limit is more of a hazard than a car going 5mph over -- why? Because the slow car causes ALL the traffic moving at the speed limit to pass it, while the fast car causes ONLY ITSELF to pass traffic moving at the speed limit.
There isn't really anything wrong with kids seeing porn, this is true. I know I certainly have been witness to much porn in my youth -- actually, I began looking for porn just as the internet itself started to take off, and though I've never spent a dime on any of the stuff it's still interesting to look back at the internet pornography industry and see how far it's evolved from those early days.
Anyway.
The point I'm making is there MIGHT be something wrong with kids seeing THEIR FATHER looking at porn.
"Daadd, come on, we have to go to school!" "Just a... hold on.. DAMN LOOKIT THAT TITTY!"
or who email them, or upload them, so they can travel across national boundries without any sort of inspection
the whole thing is pretty dumb. only an idiot would try to sneak a physical copy of shit they shouldn't have into the country, when I could from where I now sit firmly inside this country I could easily find and see all sorts of crap that isn't legal to bring into the country.
Dude, at 5'3, if you want to feel a little taller my advise is to get a job working with double-amputees.
Them's the brakes. At least you'll never know the weird feeling of being relatively tall (~6'3) and then suddenly surrounded by people significantly taller yet (basketball players..).
It would be like you suddenly finding a magical land where everyone's 4'6 and you get to be the token big-strong-guy... except the exact opposite.
Unless the wipe is never *actually* done, come on now.
You can tell him it's been done, and fake your way through it if he wants to check afterwards. Only if he wants to do it himself do you no longer have an out..
but if you can fake the wipe, and then abuse the dirt you have on him for perks, you've gotta make sure that dirt can re-appear when he finally wakes up and realizes it's a word-against-word situation.
That's when you pop out with the "Oh.. yanno, I think I wiped this laptop incorrectly. Geez I must be dumb, huh?"
Come on now -- you people aren't thinking deviously enough.
We're using less food stuffs for biofuel this year than last, and exporting much more than last year. People weren't starving last year.
The closest you could come to blaming biofuels is by saying that it drive speculators to invest heavily in corn futures, and that drove the price up too high... except high prices of commodities is being seen across the board, not just in those that are used for biofuel.
If you want to demonize governmental action that IS causing massive starvation, go talk to Mr. Mugabe.
You should try the Blue Mountain Parkway through Virginia.
Tiny road. Scenic route. Through the Appalachians. Beautiful view, 35mph uphill at 5000rpm, 45mph on the brakes hard constantly downhill. That car had 125hp (it was a 90 model, what do ya want)
I couldn't imagine trying to drive a hybrid in the more mountainous regions of the Rockies.. well, no, I can, and it's pretty damned funny.
There's plenty of music and movies you can't get off p2p.
Shocking, I know, clearly I'm lying.. wait, no, I'm not.
Some of us have money and like actually buying shit that's worth buying instead of downloading shit that's not. and oh, ew, itunes, ew, ew ew. itunes turns you gay, man. happened to my cousin, honest truth. one minute, virile heterosexual young male, downloads ONE THING off itunes, BAM! Dick in his mouth. Next time I saw him he had the apple logo tattooed on his nuts and a one-button mouse up his ass. Wasn't pretty.
If CCTV only manages to convict a single repeat offender, it's a tremendous waste of resources and an utter and complete failure.
We're not living in some magical world with infinite funds. In order to install a massive CCTV system, money has to be taken from some other place -- that other place might be more effective at reducing crime. Or keeping the criminals from an early release. Or some other such thing. But if it's not as newbite-worthy, if it doesn't sound as tech-savvy, well then the CCTV wins!
The whole "IF IT SAVES JUST ONE..." argument is a worthless and ridiculous appeal to emotion.
Demon tobacco is an easy whipping boy, that's all it is.
Christ, a job I once had was a real great one. Hi sarcasm. The first floor was where they stuck all the fat cows -- I don't know how or why it worked out like that, but you'd be lucky to fit 4 in an elevator. And these were big elevators. 12 normal people would fit in them. These bitches would take the elevator DOWN. ONE FLIGHT OF STAIRS. AND STILL BE OUT OF BREATH.
Meanwhile, my smoker's ass is running up and down 6 flights of stairs because the elevator is too slow.
But let's demonize tobacco, not lazy ass fatties who exhaust themselves pushing their chair away from their desk.
Tobacco is simply easy to demonize. Nobody wants to stand up and defend it -- not even most smokers. Alcohol at least gets people up in arms..
How about a hiring policy that prohibits ownership of an SUV? Or prohibits those who rent, not own, their home? Or prohibits those who play video games?
Maybe we should just prohibit coffee drinking. It's a legal drug, just like cigarettes.
AKs are covered under the 2nd amendment, you dense bit of humus. Do a bit of research on what the terms "well-regulated" and "militia" meant in the mid to late 18th century. They have changed somewhat since then -- just has the meaning of gay, and I'm sure we can all agree that it's a bit juvenile and inaccurate to snigger and make accusations of homosexuality any time we come across an old document in which someone is described as gay. Because we know what the meaning of the word was when it was used, and we know it's changed since then to include things the original writer did not intend.
pr0tip: Well-regulated meant functioning properly, and militia meant the whole body of the citizenry of adult age and male gender and pale skin who had guns. Since then, of course, we've reached gender and racial equality -- so the same meaning today would be all adult citizens. And for that body of citizens to function properly as a militia, they must be armed -- first and foremost, the defense of their own and their families' lives against harm by man or beast, the defense of property, all the way up to and including the defense of the state and nation from more organized offenders
Oh, and the RIAA is evil -- music publishers have been caught price-fixing twice.. three times? now since the introduction of the compact disc, but not once has the judgement affected the price of a CD. How does that work? And they continue to cite their profits -- which are increasing -- as losses due to file sharing. You see, they were expecting a 25% increase, and only realized a 5% increase. That means file sharers ate up that remaining 20%! Because EXPECTING and PREDICTING something is the same as it ACTUALLY BEING REAL! Anyone who's ever gone on a date knows that's not true.. it's just a shame we can't collectively accuse the RIAA of date rape.
No, the fear is NOT that he is "equal, but seperate".
I think you are intentionally being a troll, here.
This sets a precedent. That being, artifical replacements to human body parts does not disqualify one from competing in the Olympics.
The problem comes 10-20 years from now, when you have athletes willfully lopping their limbs off to get cybernetic implants all to win the gold.
At that point, at the point where cybernetic limbs will actually outperform natural.. what's the difference between a cyberathlete and a steroid athlete? why not let THEM compete?
Keep them seperate.
One day, the Paralympics will be the ones with the better times, distances and scores.
Except in the business world, NOT assuming your paying client is a complete fucking idiot is a big mistake.
Most people are complete fucking idiots. And frighteningly, many of them THINK they know what they're doing.. and if you go ahead and let them, and they fuck things up, they'll tend to fall back on the one thing they ARE good at.
Blaming someone else.
(and if they're management, that's about the time you're forced to promote them so they have less opportunity to create huge fuckups)

I doubt you'd want to meet anyone, most especially your parents, in SecondLife.
Nobody wants to see a Fox version of their father getting sodomized by a well-endowed Lion-mother.
And that, good friends, is SecondLife in a sentence. You may think there's more to that game, but it's all a scam.
