But then there's always the possibility that he actually IS a terrorist. We only have his word that he's a law-abiding citizen, and no evidence at all that his friend's post is related to the tracking device.
Yeah, and everyone who posts a Pedobear image online MIGHT be a pedophile.
So, to go with Gijeong-dong we're going to have websites that show North Korea as being lovely and wonderful and maybe you should come across the border and join the glorious revolution.
This is going to sound wine snob - sorry.
Brown is like its name, thick, earthy, think fresh turned earth, with sugar.
Green is as well, light, airy, with a sharpness - and there is the rub. Many do not like a sharpness in their sweet.

Argk! I only read Albizanian! See you in court too!
And that's why when you do warranty laptop work for HP, if you have to replace a part with a warning sticker on it they send you a little sheet of stickers in fifteen different languages (well, fourteen - there's two English ones, one in the tone of "It's a bad idea to do this." and one in the tone of "IT'S NOT OUR FAULT IF YOU DO THIS.") and you have to apply the correct sticker(s) for your area.
Assuming it takes 100 years to build everything we need to make this flight, by the time you get there it will be 178,570 years after the group that took 1000 years to build the matter/antimatter ship finished their project.
This is what I see happening: The first colony ships will leave for a newly-found planet using then-state-of-the-art technology and when they arrive the first thing they'll see is a McDonald's putting up a sign advertising their new "Colonist Combo Meal Deal".
True, but all I saw were some avatar photos on sites that didn't look that bad.
Also, I share your pain. I died on March 9th, 1962.
Not only did I die in the 1800s but I was born in 2005 and someone claiming to be my daddy put up a webpage about it. Might've put up a webpage but I have to work for a living! I should sue the bastard for child support.
Considering that this guy recons its 100% possible.
I'm waiting for ICAAN to release TLD's so make way for this new planet. I'm thinking.erth for us and.glse for them.
Not worth it. I pinged them and haven't got a response. They're gonna have to do something about that latency problem on their end before ICAAN will bother.
There are people that do not want a cell tower within 5 miles of their home... But they want perfect cell coverage in their home including their basement. They complain about how WiFi makes you sick, while surfing the internet on their laptop/netbook/PDA via WiFi at the coffee shop or in their home.
Or complain about their neighbor's electronics making them so sick they have to sleep in their car. Three feet from an assload of electronics and a lead acid battery.
And humans, too. Or what did you think is the infrared radiation you emit due to being warm?
There's this nice fellow, Judge Death I think his name is, who's found an interesting solution to the issue of living humans being a danger. Perhaps we should consult him on this issue.
five children who attended school 50 feet from cell antennas on a water tower have been diagnosed with cancer or leukemia and three have died
So... instead of looking for the actual cause of the cancers you decided the tower was a good enough scapegoat?
Darwin in action.
The pundits are the best. There's one who recently posted on her website about a study that found that cell and wifi radiation frequencies were the deadliest. When you read the study linked to, it mentions that the tests were all done at doses thousands of times higher than what humans can legally take. The study basically proved that if you stick rats in a microwave, they die, but they'll die faster at certain frequencies.
And therefore your router, your iPod, your cell phone, and your dimmer switches are giving your babies cancer.
Exactly. I read it and was wondering when the funny was supposed to start. The outrage of this shouldn't be over any feminist issues the outrage should be over this person being terminally unfunny.
Personally I found it hilarious, but in the same way Z-grade movie that thinks it's the next Ben-Hur (something like Ironmaster) is hilarious: It's not funny because it's funny, it's funny because it's so damn pathetic but thinks it's amazing.
Read it again. It's a perfect example of everything ever written by a marketing VP ever:
1) Acts like it knows everything but repeatedly demonstrates a failure to understand its audience (females) AND its product (geek males).
2) Offers easy solutions for a problem that doesn't even exist.
3) Everything it says is either wrong or as out of date as the certifications on a VP's wall.
4) Ends with a plug for products that are useless for the stated goal.
Are marketing people usually known for being funny? Inspired and genuinely humorous marketing material seems to be rather rare.
That's because it gets focused-groupped to death. Unless it's material from an 'edgy' marketing firm, in which case it's not focus-groupped but it's not sanity-checked either.
In the end, all you truly have, is your mind. Who you are, who you were, and who you will be, is all in your mind. Cancer kills the body... Alzhiemer's kills who you are, and who you could be, destroying your memory of who you were...
I agree, other diseases, such as cancer do not put as much fear into me, as much as Alzhiemer's.
That's what I thought. Then I saw someone dying of breast cancer that metastasized to various parts of the body. When enough parts start failing, your brain starts getting less of the chemicals it needs and more of the chemicals that cause problems. Yeah, I've seen non-brain cancer make a person lose memory of what they did a few minutes ago, collapse into confusion and incomprehensibility punctuated by short moments of complete lucidity, and finally lapse into a coma that ended in death.
You know what? It ALL sucks. If it doesn't kill you instantly so you never experience it, dying is a hellish experience. Mind and body aren't independent - what hurts one hurts the other.
No, you should have a proprietary client that uses a special protocol.
Which should really just be a slightly-obfuscated Bittorrent so you don't have to pay for as much bandwidth. When someone calls you on this, you call them hackers because they reverse-engineered your secure protocol technology.
Once I needed to get my testosterone levels checked. My doctor had a doctor-in-training assisting that month, so they spent a lot of my appointment talking shop. The doctor said, "I have another patient who says that testosterone levels are higher in single men than married men - he reads stuff on the Internet - " (Here she shot me a funny look.) "and now that he's divorced, he's expecting a change. There's actually some data to back this up. The thing is, single men tend to be younger than married men, so their higher level most likely comes from that."
I decided to remind her that not everyone reads the stupid parts of the Internet and said, "Ah, the wonders of mistaking correlation for causation." She seemed quite surprised.
cute face and non-threatening appearance negate the truth of his sinister, much darker side.
Number of actual children Pedobear has molested: 0.
Number of actual children "respectable" people with power have molested: Seemingly infinite.
Might want to focus on the proven danger there, Mr. Police Officer.
We have gone from a society of doers to a society of press-releasers. Welcome to the empire's fall, kids. Enjoy the bread and circuses.
Pedobear is and should be associated with the internet and pedophiles/sexually-preferential offenders who reportedly use him to communicate their interests in young children to each other.
I love that. The entire point of the document is to FEAR THE BEAR! but their evidence can be summed up as panic-panic-guy-over-there-seen-with-a-kid-REPORTEDLY-child-molester-panic-panic.
So one guy in a suit in public surrounded by cameras watching his every move = advanced agent for the Pedophile Illuminati? I can see some cop sitting inside HQ and cuddling his gun, gibbering "First the queers ruined rainbows and now the baby-rapers are ruining teddy bears!"
And if I was part of some secret and highly illegal group that needed a way of identifying members I don't think I would use the one thing in the entire universe that people associate with the illegal activity in question.
may be an indicator of the presence of individuals who have a predilection to sexually inappropriate, or even assaultive behavior
Translation: We will use it as a justification to kick down your door, terrorize your family, and shoot your dog in the middle of the night. Saves us having to make up an "anonymous tip" and finds you guilty in the eyes of the potential jury pool all at once!

GASP! Child-molesting terrorists! Terrorist child molesters! Molester-terrorizing child? Child terrorist molesters?
However you spell it, it means PANIC! FBI protect us!

Bruce is running low on things to study just as much as you're running low on articles to read.

Depends on your definition of beauty.
That thread's 'bout three articles over.
with large jar of mutant ants. Ooh crap. The jar is broken. The mutant ants are free! And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords
I TOLD you that ant farm keyboard idea wouldn't work!
you went off on a tangent
I see; can't have people making puns.
Some kid, hearing his slashdot-reading parents discuss this, decides to "play doctor" and stuffs his little brother into a trash bag?
Slashdot-reading and had sex multiple times?
I think we have little to worry about here.
And now I'm going to go fry my brain in some unregulated solar radiation. ;)
WE MUST SUE THE SUN!
