I suppose you find nothing wrong with calling black people ni**ers either.
Just because it isn't illegal, doesn't mean you should be doing it. Have a little consideration for other people. Do you really want every little part of life to be based on laws?
It could have been innocently based on monkeys, which would just make it a poor joke, or...
it could have been purposely calling those women basketball players monkeys, which is a very hurtful racist comment.
Exactly. Websites/Advertising companies are freeloading off of the company selling the product every single time an add is shown to someone will not buy what is advertised.
Why can't they just drive around the block? or drive in reverse for a bit if they really have to.
To tell the truth, I'd hate to see a fire truck try to turn around in any of the three lane wide residential streets that are common around here... especially when both sides are often filled with parked cars.
(insert image of cruise missile targeting FBI headquarters here) Or better yet, Bush gets his terrorist connections/friends to hijack an airliner and fly it into the FBI headquarters!
I almost think that the credit agencies prefer bad credit. Now that bankruptcy isn't much of an option, they can make more money from high interest rates and fees than they could ever make from interest on someone who pays all his bills on time.
In this case, a national identity plus fingerprints could be a good thing. You could easily prove you are not that other person by matching your fingerprints up to those of your id. But this would assume that the fingerprint information would be accessible and used by more that just the police/antiterrorist agencies.
Not only could they make a mistake, they could frame you, but then again, they could do that anyway.
This fingerprinting is really just a good way to have a unique identity for everybody. This'll be very helpful in the creation of a national/international database of people. And this database is not necessarily a bad thing... it could solve or reduce a lot of tax fraud, Medicaid fraud, crime, and other things I can't immediately think of.
That's an interesting line of thought and I think there's another similar possibility: He is doing the best he can to protect us and all of this is in our own best interests. I just don't think he see's any of the larger implications or future ramifications of his policies, and maybe his advisors are taking advantage of this in their recommendations.
"If $30 per month can finance a whole load of channels sending non-stop things I'm not watching anyway, why would paying $10 per month for a select number of shows be untenable?"
That's what i've always wondered. Advertising must be driving up the cost of things by an enormous amount if it is subsidizing the cost of t.v. entertainment as much as the price of downloadable content would suggest.
Of course, the downside is that you won't get many packets from anyone using this new BitTyrant client as it prioritizes outgoing packets to those computers it receives from. So i suppose you make a legality tradeoff for speed.
Yeah seriously... Where's the article on indifference to airplanes and automobiles? Maybe another part of the equation is the quantity of Sci-Fi shows that are way more exciting than reality will ever be.
Damn liberals fear mongers...
So you are calling them liberal fear mongers based on the fact that they called methane gas harmful? OMG maybe we should call the U.S. Army to shut them down since we are in an overreacting mood and all.
Now that I think about it... all of these inane comments are always made by AC's. I wonder why that is?
Sparking when something is unplugged isn't really a good indicator of how good the contact is when fully plugged in, but i'll definitely grant you the rest. I've noticed that a lot of new construction has the outlets installed upside-down with the ground socket on top. While annoying for transformer bricks, it does seem to keep the cords from falling out as easily.
And I suppose you drive your fwd car through un-snowplowed streets and driveways? Unless your car somehow manages to float on top of that 3 feet of snow, there is no way the traction of your two wheels is going to overcome the force of continuously plowing some 18 cubic feet of snow.

I remember that... I can still hear that machine calling out "Use the force, Luke!"

If they don't mean anything, then stop using them.
It depends on how you read the joke.

Didn't Texas ban Ozzy Osbourne for some 10 years due to a similar event?_ Antonio#Trivia

Maybe because he is complaining about piracy while in fact making multiple copies of one cd and being a pirate himself?

Actually time is based on matter. How do you think we measure time? or conversely, try measuring time without any matter.

Aren't both countries definitions based on being "caught short" of something?
Does the phrase really depend on what they where "caught short" of?

And how much does your tv weigh? My gf's old 27" zenith must have weighed one third to half what my old 1990 27" sony did.
Since you are the dimensional authority, which dimension is width? the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th or something else?

You tell this to other ISPs? Have you done this to your own?

The same thing would happen with my 2000 VW Turbo Golf. Driving with AC on was almost like trying to accelerate in the next higher gear.
