What about the 95% of white people who don't want to live in a 'multi-cultural' society, but can't speak out against it because we'll be sacked from our jobs?
Was stormfront down so you had to vent here, or is this just a clever example of what the "real name" movement is trying to stop? Since you don't devolve into frequent ALLCAPS IN RANDOM PHRASES, and from the lack of misspellings, I'm gonna say it's the latter. Clever, but not clever enough.
I deleted my FB, google+ and twitter accounts in June. Things are better without them.
Websites that want me to login with social and force that will get fake accounts if these things persist. They add nothing.
I avoided google+ initially because of the "real name unless you're famous" policy, and the fact that they seemed willing to cancel all your google services for a violation of this or other google+ policy. Since that included gmail, and I valued the gmail account I had more than I valued the potential value of google+, the choice was clear.
Well now, they've turned googletalk into googlehangout or something. And googlehangout requires a google+ login, AFAICT. Googletalk was nice, since I could forward googlevoice calls to googletalk on my PC at home (cell service had been pretty poor in my neighborhood for a while). Cell service has gotten better, at least.
From this, I assume that gmail will require google+ sooner or later, so now I'm moving away from that, since the switch could literally happen overnight like with googletalk.
For example, the issue I commented on was in response to someone saying that CDs existed in 1986. While this is true, they were still relatively expensive at the time- yuppies and audiophiles probably had one to play their copy of "Brothers in Arms" on, but Joe Average and his friends probably didn't. It would be another couple of years before they would start to take off in truly mass-market terms.
I think I was a relatively normal kid -- didn't get my money for nothing -- but that's probably why I didn't get my copy till '87. Seems so far away now . ..
Definitely gonna force the kid to listen to this tonight. I am a cool dad.
Something does not have to be physical to be considered abuse.
And delaying your five-year-old from learning to use an iPad for 6 months still doesn't qualify as anything remotely abusive. If it does, then I'm the world's worst parent for not letting my daughter have a meal consisting entirely of ketchup.
Mm. I can't help thinking that it's dangerous to do what he did without a great deal of care.
It takes a lot more than that to screw up a child. Plenty of kids have to do stuff they don't want to: little league, piano, ballet, homework. Five- and two-year-olds usually don't get everything they want in any household. Almost all turn out fine.
The autonomous and self-defined individual goes through life expecting the unexpected, but then I suppose this type of person is less attractive to lying about in floating cocoons of immaculate white paint.
Hold on a sec. Is it appropriate to evoke some Kantian ideal of living one's own life while simultaneously deriding those who choose something else for themselves? If a person is free to choose, mustn't others be free to choose even what you don't approve of?
It can’t be linked to a different vehicle, at least not without me setting that up, so it’s pretty much worthless to anyone else, but crackheads don’t know that. . ..
Why not? Does the system cross-check against license plate photos or something like that? I've seen friends move turnpike transponders (not called FasTrak, so not in your area) and I didn't know they'd done anything special to use it with a rental or company car, etc. But I never thought to ask, either.
Quite a few are still in service. The rolling code systems didn't come out until the mid 90s.
I don't know if you're a garage-door guy or something, but my experience with the controller boards is that they do not last anywhere near 20 years.
I've lived in 3 houses with 20+ year old garage door controllers. Those old partless wonders last forever in my experience. My current one doesn't even have any kind of forced reversing feature or IR obstruction detectors. Total death trap.
Until the burglar starts feeding the dogs drugged steaks...
Ya. When my wife was my girlfriend, her neighbor had a pit bull. Dog was very protective of the neighbor's house -- and gf's house too, the dog really liked her. Then someone poisoned the dog. Next week, neighbor's lawnmower got stolen. That mower probably cost less than the pup did, and was certainly not the friend and companion the dog was, either. Just sickening. I was horrified and disgusted.
it is a big deal because unlike a universal remote, security systems are supposed to be, well, secure. you shouldnt be able to hack a security system with a 20$ toy.
If your "security" system cost $8 like the one they hacked, you probably got what you paid for. I doubt that anyone is using this kind of thing to secure anything of importance. Most are probably sold as a novelty or to keep roommates out of your stuff, sort of. They say there are also IR door keys that are also hacked similarly, but I don't see examples in TFAs. And I've never seen an IR door key in actual use, not that my experience is definitive.
She has a duty to the shareholders of Yahoo to do what is best for them.
And as an American, she also has a duty to her nation and her fellow citizens.
There's good money to be made doing the former. Not so much the latter. Follow the money and you'll find their values. Feels like I've heard that before somewhere. I'll come to me . . .
And besides, if she does the latter, she''ll be replaced with someone else. The ratio of people highly motivated by money to CEO positions is too high.
I'd like to change it, too, but people with more money than me disagree. And they got rich by doing what I disagree with. So there we go, I don't expect any change without drastic upheaval.
Typewriters are at the pinnacle of mechanical engineering before electronic control systems made it possible to compensate for inaccuracies and faults in the mechanics. They demonstrate what can be achieved when it _must_ be perfect in order to work.
Not to take anything away from the impressive mechanics of the typewriter, I would have said the clock and its derivatives were the pinnacle of pre-electronic engineering.
When are you guys gonna elect some libertarian guy who at least stops your evil forgein policies?
I'm afraid we need more than a wink and promise from a presidential candidate, but rather real checks and balances restored. Depending on the good character of the guy that gets elected not exceed his authority seems unreliable.
There's the reason from TFA: "Circumventing due process w.r.t. search warrants, court orders, etc."
Also, how about industrial/commercial espionage? The US Government expects companies to do some dirty work for them, maybe they return the favor every so often so there's no hard feelings.

I'd guess that 1/2 of $20 bottles of wine are enjoyable as opposed to about 1/5 of $8 bottles.
From the expected value standpoint, you're breaking even (5*$8 = 2*$20). Less the sip or two you need for tasting purposes.
However -- and this is the important part -- after finishing the good bottle, you've got 4 cheap ones to go, vs. 1 moderately priced good one and an unfortunately overpriced clinker. And like the Bible says, you serve the good one first and save the rest for when you're all a little more mellow.
(Obviously, you scale up the number of bottles if you're expecting company*. Jesus was working with amphorae, after all.)

They actually have to go to the store and buy porn... instead of finding it for free on the internet.
That's what BBSs were for. And wuarchive.

I had nearly 60 channels in 1986. You could buy a decent cable package back then too...
I only had 57. Maybe that's why there was never anything on.

Considering how bad Tab tastes, if such a concoction were to be made I can only image how awful Diet Tab would be!
That's why I wait patiently each year for the limited release of "Tab Throwback," with real saccharin and stock up. Mmmmm, retro.
Swiss army knife.
These days, they might take that away at the metal detectors. I think duct tape is still ok.

I assure you that he won't see that. I checked his profile.
