  1. Laughing at them is paying attention to them I suppose.

  2. Re:Maybe Wikileaks is the wrong entity to be angry on WikiLeaks Published Rape Victims' Names, Credit Cards, Medical Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    There are, in fact, many cases of rape of tourists in Brazil that ended exactly like the swimmer's vandalism case.

    The 'perp' (filing a police report) has to pay a settlement to the 'victim' (rapist) or face criminal charges.

    They make waterproof 3.5mm jacks. No cover, just waterproof. Sony phones all have them.

    In many foreign countries your best bet is just dust yourself off and go on with your life.

    The shit with the swimmers in Brazil is par. First you get robbed, then you have to pay off the cops to not charge you with inconveniencing the robbers (off duty cops). Best just to avoid the second bunch of thieves (cops) entirely.

  5. And the big boys that scream 'racist' to everything they don't like can deal with the consequences of their words...nobody pays any attention to them.

    Except for the whole blantly edited video that started the whole thing. That was far from accurate, more like open propaganda.

    In LEO thicker walls are worse from a radiation perspective.

    They aren't going to stop high energy cosmic rays, but will throw off tons of more dangerous secondary particles. You want the cosmic rays to just go through, not scatter a bunch of secondaries.

    I doubt that. Cite please.

    SSTO is a big deal.

  9. Any actual evidence the Ruskies are involved in any way?

    Except it is not true.

    We're building a list of quicker cars down thread.

  11. Same as the Atom 500. And they will both do it more than once per day.

    I could remote play on my Sony phone. I think a five year old PC will do the job. The five year old PC will likely have more power than an PS4.

    He's not going to win anything except matching federal funds for the libertarian party in 2020 (and possible debate access).

    Except it's never happened in the hundreds of times this process has repeated. False premise. Go away.

  15. Public transit _is_ subsidized by taxes. Leaking gas tanks are paid for by all the previous owners of the property. It is ruinous.

    I suggest finding a less yellow newspaper.

    Your question is based on bullshit. A false premise is a waste of time to answer, it leads nowhere.

    It's a very good thing your type was ignored every time this has previously happened.

    Get them a fainting couch?

    The emotionally retarded should live in a colony somewhere. With family and friends forming a cordon to keep scammers etc out. They can all sing...fucking stupid animals.

    They should have simply killed their own dinner at about age 10-12 and sorted this all out.

    The part you miss is Ford fired many of his old workers and hired the best available at his better rate.

    It wasn't all the same workers being more productive.

    Still, you are right about working too many hours and losing productivity. I've seen many that were net negative and couldn't see a way out.

    'Best' would mean the least number of people would know about it (also means least oversight). So your method has a flaw.

    Perhaps, on the other hand I bet there are at least a few NSA types making fortunes on insider trading, along with black programs funded by insider trading.

    The agency, no doubt, has the software widely enough distributed to have plausible deniability if the greedy spooks were caught by the SEC (like that would happen).

    If you believe that has anything to do with Putin you are Hillary's chump in the first place. It can't be fixed short of a 9mm 'game reset'.
