Well... music CDs are different from Battlefield 2 CDs. A BF2 doesn't work online without the CD Key and I'm sure EA doesn't replace the key if you lose it.
FINANCE reform. how does FINANCE mean speech on the internet?
McCain-Feingold is a pretty screwed up piece of legislation. It bans adverts within 60 days of a general election if paid for by an outside group and idents a candidate. Plus there's rules that a group has to disclose who they are if they spend more than $10,000 a year on TV ads.
The debate is, does this fracked up bit of legislation apply to the internet? What is an advertizement? There are whole blogs set up just to Clinton/Bush/whatever bash and I would consider them ads for the other side. According to McCain-Feingold they shouldn't be allowed 60 days before an election.
That's why McCain-Feingold's desenters said it sucked. It's like regulating pr0n... everyone thinks they know what it looks like when they see it but there isn't a definition everyone will agree on.
Bluto: Fuck the republicans and their anti-speech tactics.
Otter: Republicans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[...]
Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
But we're trying to get money out of politics with laws drawn up by politicians who gain from said laws. Congress has been stacking law after incomprehensible law against this problem and the net result is not one cent less "money in politics." Their version of reform and regulation is "I want less money in (my chalenger's) campaigns!"
I think it is. To me, TVTome was like Google... simple, clean, very few images. Now it's flash, bubbly tabbed buttons, and what was once simple lists are now tables. The Episode List has less info and (I personally think) wastes two columns on user reviews. I can't remember the TVTome layout but I think a quarter to a third of the right column was NOT flash, ratings, and (so called) "shows like this."
I cringe everytime I have to look something up on the new TVTome. It is straight to IMDB first for cast lists and anything else I can get before I drink the TV.com koolaid.
Simple is better. Don't use images when text will do. A TV episode does not need tons of space for user ratings.
OTing all the way but... you recompile to change DB backends??!? We use registry settings or (more often these days) config files. When we're past the beta and really feeling froopy, we add it as a user or admin option, changable from within the program.
Well, before my last post, I just got back from palletizing water, diapers, food, toilet paper, etc. They needed police traffic guides because so many folks were driving up and dropping off. For four hours... on my day off... my freaking legs and back are killing me. So I feel pretty good about my contribution.
I think I'd know my answer to the question, "do you want your story to get out or would you like a truck to take you out of here?"
No kidding! It's become a game at work to go through the Friday list of movies and figure the number of re-tread ideas at our local theater. Old books, comics, TV series, video games, and movies make up 80% of the list for freak's sake!
Blockbuster makes the same money they would otherwise, thus the MPAA makes the same money they would otherwise, and I watch the movie when it's convenient.
Blockbuster would make more money if you rent it, watch it, and, a couple years later, rent it again. I agree BB makes the same amount of money/if/ you destroy your copy after watching it. If you watch it again sometime later then they lose and god kills a kitten. (ok just kidding about that last bit)
I don't know what to be more disturbed about. a. the fact that you knew which comic it was in or b. that I immediately had to figure out a Google to prove to check your facts! Superman's Powers
The point is they used a printer that didn't print and turned it into a shredder feeder. I'd like one for that pile of end-of-the-year crap I shred at home. Save me the hassle of feeding my shredder a few pages at a time.
Yeah sure. It was liberals and/or feminists who made so much fuss about half a breast last superbowl. Sure.
I'm sure my karma will burn in hell but...
The nip slip and those opposed to it have nothing to do with this conversation which is: who equates porn with exploitation. The nip slip was considered bad by conservatives because it was an inappropriate view of "nudity" at an inappropriate time. They felt it was wrong for one of the largest family viewed events.
Porn = exploitation is completely different and a feminist issue. It is used to make another victim class. Those who do it cant make it any other way. And so on. Feminists invented the line any boss/employee sex = exploitation.
Only if you take the axiom that "Porn = Exploitation". If you're not a social conservative, and believe that people should be allowed to show their tits for money if they want to, your analogy simply doesn't
Sigh... are you kidding me? Liberals and/or feminists are the people that define porn as exploitation. And, of course, a "conservative = bad" post get's a +5 Insightful.
Will someone please think of the farmers??!? Don't they have a right to make 50 cents an hour collecting Lineage II thorns or thistles or whatever the fscle they collect and sell for real money?
Wow, that's madness! Must be the difference between Army and Air Guard or maybe your unit. In the Air Guard, the last time I was issued undies was in Basic Training and I've been responsible for the resupply since then.
Underware, T-Shirts, and socks are my top priority for a deployment... especially when the laundry facilities are unknown. Boxer-Briefs all the way.
Mostly I'm responding to say good luck on your deployment and get home safe.
I don't consider citing the basic facts to be "passing the blame".
Basic facts don't enter into it. You make your way as best you can by playing the hand you're dealt like everyone else. The Real World included the Great Depression, WW1, WW2, man-made and natural disasters the likes of which you have no concept. Go read about real hardships and having nothing... or talk to those that lived it.
At best, I fear we're the set-up generation rather than one which moves mountains.
My fear is you and your generation will continue to believe that and do nothing to change it. Then you are truely lost.

"Most geeks won't be able to afford the latest model android GF, and will have to wait until the price goes down."
Dude... I couldn't afford my last real world GF. Maintenance on this droid can't be nearly as much as her. Heck, I'm having a hard enough time getting Barbara in GTA:SA to 100%. She's a chubby chaser and I hate packing on the pounds and dropping them.
Pfft... I choose to guess at what TFA is all about. That said, I have no idea why this is a big deal... getting a fabulator thingy is an emplyee benefit. We have older employees and have had one for ages with people trained in restarting hearts. You young pups can huff and puff all day but you'll get old some time too and'll be thankful people took the time to make the workplace safe!
It makes me so freaking angry when everyone just looks out for themselves and... GAH... pain... oh crap... it's a KONfibulator? What the hell's that?
And still... all of this is useless when Bank of America lost my information on a tape backup during transfer. No wait... they finally admitted it was stolen. But I shouldn't worry. Sigh.
But I also like to have over a hundred fiction and reference books, TV/Movie transcripts, opinion columns, and all my project's documentation on my Palm. I can grep for anything and annotate anywhere without writing (ruining) paper. I can read it anywhere and choose from any title in real time. On the bus, business trip, airport terminal, or waiting in line. No need to decide what books to take on a trip with limited luggage space. I don't know how many times in the Pre-Palm days when I chose the wrong books to take.
