This is an excellent opportunity to honor Monty Python by honoring the group's mastery of shock and irreverence and stop quoting, word for word skits and films! The irony is killing me slowly.
People repetitively quoting them is exactly what makes Monty Python so influential, great, and popular. The world is full of people who quote unoriginally -- that's what creates the value in originality. So while all the people quoting them aren't themselves originally funny, there is no other way it could be. Nothing wrong with that.
I notice your own criticism of word-for-word quoting was little more than a word-for-word quote of someone else. At least the people you are trying to criticize are just trying to be funny and honor people they like.
The irony in your post wasn't what was killing you, but your self-inflicted venom.
there appear to be no characterizing differences between the perceived sound from well-made orthodox instruments on any age when played by a skilled player
That's because they used the wrong speaker cables and missed out on the warm sound only pure gold provides.
I never thought I was a fictional character, but now I realize I am living in a dystopic science fiction story. This plot device is so transparent, we all know the story.
Pure evil character develops self-awareness...
computer systems go online, can't be turned off...
pure evil character takes over computer system...
takes over world.
Would whoever is writing this book please come up with a less predictable plot device?
First off, if 10 people do this, Amazon is going to find out what it really costs, and it isn't $65 or anything close to that.
Secondly, they are't going to do this without some kind of verification.... So unless there is a verifiable way to determine that XP has been irrevocably uninstalled I don't see this happening too much more.
Arlo Guthrie said something relevant on the matter:
And the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation,
or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are,
just walk in say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out.
You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement
Linear A: Linear A is one of two linear scripts used in ancient Crete before Mycenaean Greek Linear B... Linear A seems to have been used as a complete syllabary around 1900 - 1800 BC,
Linear B: Linear B is a script that was used for writing Mycenaean Greek, an early form of Greek. It predated the Greek alphabet by several centuries (ca. 13th but perhaps as early as late 15th century BC).
Linear C: (Redirected from Linear C [Already the marketers were messing with the version numbers!]) The Cypro-Minoan syllabary (abbreviated CM) is an undeciphered syllabic script used on the island of Cyprus during the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1550-1050 BC).
Beat that!
Can you imagine in 1800 BC how much of a pain the upgrade cycle must have been when everyone had to update their clay tablets?
FTA: "Since April, when it was disclosed that the intercepts of some private communications of Americans went beyond legal limits in late 2008 and early 2009, several Congressional committees have been investigating."
Doesn't that mean they broke the law? What else can operating beyond legal limits mean?
Also FTA: "In an interview, Mr. Holt disputed assertions by Justice Department and national security officials that the overcollection was inadvertent."
What does inadvertency have to do with anything?!?
"Officer, I realize I was speeding, but it was inadvertent." Uh huh.
If the agents and agency breaking the law are allowed to get off with a warning, at least give them the warning. Don't hide that they broke the law behind a wall of doublespeak.
If we accept that scientists are human like anyone else, we accept that scientists, like others, will make mistakes that get bigger and go more wrong than they anticipated. Some may intentionally commit fraud.
How common is scientific misconduct relative to other types of misconduct seems a more relevant question.
Also: What can we do to decrease it and how can we lessen its impact.
Moderate parent down, please. It is anecdotal and inconsistent with what happened outside his line of sight.
Your post described what you saw with your own eyes, nothing more, and you conclude their behavior was positive based on no real data.
You may want to learn about what happened beyond your immediate line of sight -- people illegally detained and arrested, undercover officers inciting violence etc, officers telling people what they could do then arresting them when they followed instructions. "They pretty much let people do what they wanted" was not true outside your line of sight.
I understand most lawsuits against the city are being won.
Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Oh no! We're doomed. How do you kill a tree zombie? They don't have heads to shoot at.
Aaaahhhhh

I think we all know where this is going -- V'ger wants to bond with its creator and instead gets a bald girl and Decker to create a new life form.
Quoting Monty Python should make no one more depressed than quoting Shakespeare or Homer.
D'oh!

Lisa, in this house we obey the second law of thermodynamics!
Stop fretting about being unoriginal and enjoy it.
Don't mind if I do.

Wait, where are the poll options?

The real issue isn't that the votes were miscounted in South Dakota.
It's that I bought them for South Carolina!
You figured the information was better than just a +5 Insightful, so you wrote it in two parts to get a +5 Informative too.
Well played.
