Left wing nannie bullshit?? WHy does everything have to go to party lines? If anything these laws are made to appease the religious right. Since we are all overgeneralizing now, I call your post right wing devisive bullshit.
You're taking one popular senator (clinton) and making her stand for the entire party. This is a vast overgeneralizatiion. The reason why Clinton is on board with this is she's trying to steal votes from republicans to look more family friendly. The democratic party is not this third philosophy you are talking about. This is a huge generalization on yor part.
I'm glad you have an enilightened opinion about google adwords. I have an account and the majority of my income comes from them. They are the only results in searches that are hand approved for being relevant. And it's the only way for little guys to get a look against big corporations.
Because I don't feel like burning gas and calories driving to Sam's club or wherever to have some snot nosed kids running around me, to have the clerk looking at my photos, to have to drive back or wait around an hour to pick up the prints. At home, I can take my pictures and in about three minutes have it hanging on my wall. Screw going to the store.
PArtially correct... marijuana does alter the reward pathway system in the brain. But it depends on the person who's using it whether it's a negative or positive effect. Me, when I smoke I become extremely motivated to finish something I started, and this has had a a hugely positive effect on my life, as I have become self employed and live a comfortable lifesyle thanks to ganja.
And you are wrong about it being addicting... it is indeed habit forming but with moderation a person can smoke every day for years (like I have) and give it up for months when necessary with no ill effect whatever (like I have).
I don't understand why you say this.... flash is bandwidth inefficient, the new h.264 codec for quicktime 7 is extremely efficient and gives FAR greater quality than the pixelated video we just suffered through... so why no plugins? You give no reason why not.
Nobody is DECLARING anything. What people (sicentists) ARE saying is this:
"Humans are putting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the air by burning fossil fuel or wood. We also add CFC (that is chlorofluorocarbons) compounds like Freon, used in refrigeration systems. CFC's are greenhouse gases as well as destroyers of ozone. We measure that carbon dioxide is currently increasing, and it seems to be getting warmer the last few decades. Although this suggests that increased greenhouse gases are causing the warming, it is not certain."
Nobody is saying it is 100% certain man is causing it. The question that should be in every one's mind is "is it better to be safe or sorry?"
The majority of protests today ARE peaceful. G8 protesters are not what I was talking about. The reason why you don't hear about the peaceful one's is no one else cares and the media won't report them.
So don't use G8 as an excuse to suppress peaceful protests.
Months ago I was watching some show about nonlethal weapons inventors and I thought about how cool they were. Then I thought about the situations they'd be used in. Time and time again police and national guardsmen abuse nonlethal weapons all over the world to suppress peaceful demonstrations. In future protests, expect to see sonic weapons, foam, all sorts of things aimed at crowds.
Now where we do really need nonlethal weapons is in Iraq, where children under the age of fifteen commonly shoot at our guys there. Our guys have nothing else to defend themselves with but guns, and I've heard about how demoralizing it can be for our troops to be forced to kill children (let alone the moral issues, and the fact that we're creating new "insurgents" by killing family members). And it's not like our military does not have nonlethal weapons, it just won't arm our guys with them for the obvious lunkhead reasons.
Rest assured these high tech toys will not be used on armed combatants, but on peaceful protesters.
YOU are wrong. the risks are way too high not to do something. You're the one turning it around making kyoto into some economic disaster. If you think rioting and wars are the result of a clean tommorow, you're either lying or stupid. Either way, a fucked up climate will make riots and wars a thing of the past if our entire race is virtually extinct because of a frozen or burning planet.
Rainforests are far more important for world health than peat bogs. We need the forsts to clean the air. We do not need the 70 billion metric tons of methane in the air (the equivelent of 1.4 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide).
That page you linked to cites peat as an important growing medium but also gives other substitutes. What substitutes for the majority of the world's species habitat is there? What substitute for the air cleaning trees is there? There is none. Stop convoluting the issue here on partisan grounds.
We didn't give two shits about that, we just wanted to end the war quickly, and the bombs were the two final blows. We had been firebombing the majority of Japan for months, burning to death hundreds of thousands of civilians in a night over Tokyo.
It wasn't necessary. Neither was a hypothetical invasion. We had them surrounded from all sides, their Navy was destroyed, Air Force crushed, foreign supplies entire blockaded. We could have laid seige and they would have eventually surrendered. Their infrastructure would have been left intact, and their economy would be 10 years ahead of what it is today. We didn't do that because everyone was simply anxious to end the war, and if it meant killing 10 million or their entire population, no one cared. It was our most shameful days, and no, we were no better than they were.
BF2 is a real good game. It's not supposed to be hyper realistic but the fire fights are very life like and the firing mechanics feel very real.
But I dont play any more because of a few things: 1: I spent a lot of money on a new 6800 but cant play with decent settings above 1024- even with 2 gigs ram, unlocked pipelines, OC, etc, the stuttering is unacceptable. 2: Hardly no one uses the built in VO functions. Using it can make incredible squad cooperation, but I don't want to have to join a clan to experience it. 3:Jackass teammates. As commander, teammate mutinies are way too common and easy to succeed. If you run into my arty strikes by ignoring the automatic warnings "ARTILLARY YOUR AREA!" AND ignore your minimap, people will STILL punish you for being teamkilled. This happens all the time. Moving 2 mph should not run teammates over either, especially when they run right into your path. I've been kicked without realizing what happenned because of this. 4: Teamkilling enabled servers are way too common. A game is made to have fun, not for punishing teammates over accidents. To me this hurts every match, and dampers the fun. 5:Lag is too severe. On nearly all servers running over 32 players, when the fighting gets concentrated in tight areas it turns unplayable. I don't know if this is bad net code or bad servers but it sucks. 6:Too much experience needed to level up. It takes way too long to make corporal. When I stopped playing last week, 9/10 players are lance corporals. It's the devs attempt to turn the game into an RPG grind and it sucks.
Maybe after the game is patched and the new players wise up I'll come back. I've played about 50 hours and so I guess I got what I paid for, but for now I'm going back to playing Rome total war.
It's true we're no longer their demographic but what does that say about their targets? I don't like the state our culture and society is in when they are the ones DEFINING what that preteen crowd wears, watches,acts, and even thinks.
Did you read his post, man? It's DRIVER ERROR. Of course no one should be allowed to do 90 in a school zone. On a striaght 4 lane highway, that's a completely different story.
These are companies and cities trying to make money, not save lives.
When instead of going after international rings that actually do harm to society like spammers, shild pornographers, DDOSers, we go after those that our big industry complains about the most.
I do agree. It's also been mentioned on Webmasterworld from an official Google document saying how one year domain registrations are considered a frequent use of spammers. So register at least three years.
If you are like me and you're rendering 3D animations, it's largely all about clock speed. So if you can OC a 3.2 to 3.5 than you save about 10% of time on renders. For a render that would normally take 10 days, you've saved yourself an entire day of waiting.

This will show the public how absurd there greed really is if the national media reports on it (big if).
No decent games? I just bought Burnout and it's incredible. Also try wipeout, lumines, FIFA. But yeah it is expensive.

A methane farm the size of France and Germany combined? RTFA.

An HDMI to DVI converter should fix that

The mantle IS NOWHERE NEAR the center of the earth. More /. titling sensationalism.
Still, drilling even 6 miles down is quite a feat
For some reason that word makes me want to kill evertything In sight.
