You got that right! I removed 'NoScript'. Every, and I mean every, stinking website I went to had most of their content dependent on scripts. Shouldn't that be poor website design + NoScript makes the web useless?
Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because the United States was doing all kinds of irritating things in the then Republic of China, sending them arms and such. Actually, we stopped selling them scrap ore and other war materials. Unfortunately this was 9 years after the Japanese had invaded Manchuria.
That the US and the "west" isn't so special? No, that it is time for the West to deploy Gundams, only then will the Western powers be able to reinstitute the Pax Americana.
I'm sincerely hoping that this current crisis prompts a trend towards following Berlin rather than Boston in my own country, Ireland. In what way? I am unaware of anything particularly brilliant coming from the minds in Berlin(other than the lack of a minimum wage). So would you please elaborate what great things the Germans are doing w/ respect the current crisis.
PS. Captcha: market, has slashcode evolved a fiendish AI ala Nethack?
So you're in favour of allowing corporations the freedom to continue polluting everybodys environment because it's cheaper than building cleaner cars No, I don't like those who nothing about science deciding the most environmental cars are those who burn corn based ethanol or some other boon doggle.
He's done more good in one week than GWB did in 8 long years. Depends on how you define good. Allowing a bunch of unelected bureaucrats determine how cars should be made, and possibly funding thousands of abortions against the vehement objections of those who pay taxes might not be considered good. But we shall see how it all turns out.
If 90% of the population are speeding on a regular basis, that in itself is not a good reason to abolish speed limits No, but clearly the limit in the area of where those 90% are speeding should be raised. Particularly if they are using 1950's bias ply tire models to determine safe speeds through an area.
What I don't understand about all the end-game whining is that the first 2 Fallout games had an ending, too. Actually, the 1st and 2nd fallout game allow you to keep playing after finishing the main quest rolling the credits, etc. They did warn that somethings may behave unexpectedly. However, fallout3 is just a great big voice over, then credits screen, then back to the main menu. Thus the fuss about the end game. HTH
Because the biggest "helpers" of these people are church based and refuse to acknowledge that condom use would help prevent death due to HIV and malnutrition. Contraception is against god's law, after all. So is premarital sex, but do you believe that all of these people are married prior to having sex?
Says who? If you believe in something strong enough, why rule out certain kinds of actions? Nietzsche, "Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one." Of course the obvious result of your thinking is, it's ok to do anything to anyone as long as you believe in something strong enough.
BillG's response might be "OK, I'm outsourcing half of Redmond to China, India, and Vietnam, and laying off 20000 in the US. Care to give me a different answer?" Govt.reply OK, to compensate for the loss of taxes, we the govt. will stop lobbying the rest of the world to enforce software patents etc. Enjoy your Lindows, Winduls, and whatever verbatim copies with a slight name change the world will use.
I suppose he'll die a horrible death out in the wilderness, just like everyone did before mobile telephones were invented. Nice Reductio ad absurdum. However, the parent post I was replying to asked the question why get a replacement GSM phone. Therefore, I provided a likely scenario where one would appreciate having a mobile phone. That is all. HAND.
This is a beef I have with commuters. I'm always hearing demands from people who live 50 miles from work that I need to spend 20 billion dollars on highway improvements. Meanwhile I spend an extra $400 a month to live close to work and drive less than 10 miles and don't touch an interstate. Do you grow your own food, and produce everything you need within walking distance of your domicile? If not then you benefit from good highways. Your paying more to live closer to work means you aren't spending as much time to commute ergo you have more free time to do whatever you want. So until you can become an island unto yourself, kindly recognize how much commerce flows over the highways and be thankful you get to enjoy the fruits of such commerce.
it just demonstrates that Olberman and the like aren't actually partisan, they are both correct and relatively neutral My goodness sir you should write for the onion. Wait, you were actually serious? Keith, I never said Hillary should drop out(except when I implied someone should do violence to her to coerce her to end her campaign) Olbermann? That Keith Olbermann who spent months railing against Bill O'reilly's belief that he(Bill) was the center of the universe, then made someone who accidently took his luggage and didn't return it in person "Worst Person in the World". Correct and relatively neutral. Have you seen any of the Keith's "Special Comments"? If those are your definition of correct and relatively neutral, then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I'm not sure why parent was modded Flamebait but he's right. The soldiers being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are just as dead as those killed in WWII or any other war or"police action." Believe me, all states of war are equal when you're on the wrong end of an enemy weapon. Perhaps due to the fact that thousands more than number of soldiers dying in Iraq and Afghanistan are dying on the highways of America. Those people are just as dead as the fallen soldiers. Believe me all states of death are equal when your not going to respawn. It's called perspective, you should look into getting some.
Good point if only the following weren't true. Season 1 of BSG began airing in the United Kingdom and Ireland on October 18, 2004. It began airing in North America three months later, on January 14, 2005 in the United States, and January 15 in Canada. So if the good people of UK and Germany contributed money towards the production of the show then they would get to view the broadcasts sooner.
Imagine you're a resident of a third world country (e.g. Germany or UK) Imagine you received a first world education then you would know that e.g. is latin for "for example" and you would know that the UK was a first world nation, and Germany could either be 1st world(West Germany and post unification Germany) or 2nd world(East Germany), but never a 3rd world nation. HTH
When you are around the computer use voip... if not, well, people can send you an email!
And, use the free time you just got with all those useless calls to get a nice warm cup of *whatever*, and relax... What glue sniffer marked this as informative? Pop quiz hot shot, your car breaks down, and you need to call a tow truck, and your cat 5 cable ran out several miles away. Though you do have a point in that scenario there certainly will be plenty of free time.
[insert owl pic here]O rly? Then pray tell why was Clinton disbarred? Oh, yeah b/c he lied under oath. Now as a good lawyer he should have found a way to avoid answer questions that weren't relevant to the case, but lying isn't one of them. So try your revisionist history somewhere else please.
in areas ranging from humanism to trade. erasmus, spinoza and more. and now this.... Particularly in the trading of humans, and getting chicks to pay for half. Hooray Dutch. And having a football team whose name is spelled like a household cleaner but pronounced eye-ax.
but it's not heartening for the fight against heart disease to keep plodding on with little obvious progress in the span of time it takes for half a dozen new anti-ED drugs to hit the market. You do realize that heart disease research is where the ED drugs came from right? An interesting side-effect of the heart disease treatment lead to the discovery of Viagra. So it's not like there's just a room full of scientists thinking how can I make people turgid instead of curing some real life threatening disease.

Yes, Canada is still outside the US...for now~

I hope I am wrong
Nope, you just need to remember to take your medications and the voices in your head will become silent again.
