Both of my parents are left-handed, but both my sister and I are generally right-handed. There are some things that feel more natural to me left-handed, such as playing hockey or golf.
I've got 50GB free at Box and 30GB free on EchoFS.com. Why should I care about 5GB? Just because it's Google?
To be fair, you most likely paid $20 for the extra 45 GB at Box and EchoFS doesn't have any synchronization tools other than setting it up as a network block device. Using EchoFS as a NBD sounds pretty cool, but I have no idea how I could set that up on my phone.
I'd love to have one of these things if it a) was a bit cheaper, and b) were available in a model that wasn't a hatchback. I don't really understand why pretty much all electric cars are hatchbacks. I hate them and I want a real trunk dammit!
Meanwhile teachers are disciplined for failing too many students, despite the fact that these failures are due to kids doing 0 assignments and sleeping during tests.
Only recently here in Texas did a local school district end their policy of "social promotion", aka sending kids who repeatedly fail from middle school to high school solely due to the fact that they turn 16.
Schools truly have become little more than taxpayer funded daycare centers.
Shepherd's pie, or curry, or a burrito, on the other hand, will all come out just fine
Good god man! Can you imagine the horror of being stuck on a plane full of people after they've all eaten curry and burritos? The only thing that food will come out of just fine is the microwave.
If you don't like a law, work to get it changed, but while the law is still in effect and enforced, obey the fucking thing unless it is egregiously immoral. Potheads paying fines ofr misdemeanor possession doesn't fit the bill
How about sensible people who choose to smoke a naturally growing plant, instead of drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes which are perfectly legal despite numerous scientific studies illustrating how addictive and harmful they are, having their professional career ruined and thus their life ruined due to a drug arrest on their record? Is that immoral enough for you?
There is a restaurant in Houston named Hobbit Cafe. They appear to use their own illustrations, but I'm not sure if the Tolkein family knows about them.
Vampire$ - This is what a vampire novel should be. People working for the Vatican to slay vampires for fun and profit. The book rocks, but Damn, the John Carpenter movie version in the 80's sucks ass. Don;t ever watch it.
The intention isn't just to hurt the man you hate, but to strike fear into anyone who doesn't live the way you think they should.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but people who bomb abortion clinics and assassinate doctors who perform abortions should fall into this category, yet they aren't ever charged with hate crimes (to my limited knowledge). I'm not disagreeing with your interpretation of what a hate crime is, but simply pointing out that there appears to be a gap between your definition and the real-world application.
I think he wants both people to be treated like adults. If she didn't even know the guy's name, then odds are he had no idea she got pregnant. It sounds like she wasn't trying to contact him to say "hey, you remember that night? Well, I'm pregnant and you have a daughter/son, we should talk." Sounds like she just wanted a portion of his income.
A driverless vehicle may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, unless in Reno and with the intent of observing said human's demise.
If you had kids, you would understand why you don't take your kids cruising down Montrose Ave at 2:30 am. You would understand that it not appropriate to take kids into bars and night clubs late at night. You would not be taking your little girl to a strip club on "take your daughter to work" day.
Or... is all that OK with you? Are you a prude? Don't you think that 7 year olds should now what happens in the Champaign room? If so, let me know. I'll call bullshit and meet you there.
You don't need to have kids to see how taking a kid to a strip club or a bar and clicking on a search result with no graphic pictures are nowhere near the same thing. The one thing that these two situations have in common is that as a parent you should have control of the situation. To take your "analogy" further, you essentially want to shut down any strip club that your daughter might see out the window of the car as you drive along the interstate. That would make you a lazy parent and an asshole for trying to force your precious sensibilities on everyone else.
Also, the fact that you qualify the phrase "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex" on top of an obviously fake image of a brown smudge as porn says a lot about you (enough to know that it is pointless to continue arguing with you).
The fact of the matter is that Apple doesn't give a shit about the FoxConn workers. Apple can't give a shit because Apple isn't a person or some group of persons with a singular conscience. What you have is a group of directors asking each other what is the bare minimum they need to do to clean up some of this, possibly unjustified, bad PR.
The fact that Apple is so popular is a double-edged sword. The reason they have been taking all of the flak for the condition of workers at FoxConn, despite the fact that everyone contracts with FoxConn, is because they are the king of the hill. The reason other companies aren't taking any steps to deal with the conditions at FoxConn is because they are content with letting Apple take all the heat. Hell, it probably even improves the bottom line for Apple's competitors.
Apple is between a rock and a hard place and, to their credit, whoever was behind this push for improvements at FoxConn was smart enough to realize that they could spin the negative PR into the positive by demanding a few changes. This is a smart business move, no more no less.
No one is forcing anyone to look at the search result in question. If you want to be a total prude and protect your kids from everything out there in the big bad world, then that is not only your prerogative, but it is your job and yours alone. You demand that no one tell you how to raise your kids, yet at the same time you demand that the entire world bend to your sheltered methods of parenting. Google isn't teaching your kid anything.
Also, anal sex is not a "gay sex act" since plenty of straight people have been doing it for quite some time.
Prove it. Show us prior art that existed at the time Apple filed the patent application that does each and every element in the claims. That it's publicly known now is irrelevant
Here you go smarty-pants. Apparently the fact that it existed 2 years before Apple "invented" it is also irrelevant...
That is never really going to happen. Energy demand is always going to increase. Even if energy usage drops to 1 joule per appliance, people are still going to have more and more appliances and require more and more power for more and more advanced technology.
So if I plug a 10 ohm, 10,000 watt (1%, because I'm all about quality) resistor into my wall outlet and watch it glow, I'm progressing?
Fascinating.
The most fascinating part is the twisted logic you used to mangle the parent's point so that you could come across as a smug little know-it-all. By your own logic, your plea for a reduction in energy usage advocates genocide (less people, less energy usage).
Note: yes, I know that torrents in and of themselves are useful and not illegal. But come on. We know what the vast majority of stuff that places like BT Junkie link to, and it's not Linux ISO's. It's mainly copyright material.
In a number of countries this is perfectly legal. Or at least it was before the US quietly annexed the rest of the world.
For that matter, when have liberals spent more time using reason and thoughtful discussion to oppose Republicans and not "they want to kill granny" lines?
This is hilariously hypocritical considering that the religious conservatives are the ones who stand in the way of assisted suicide or allowing someone with brain-death to simply die peacefully. Enough of your "poor persecuted Christians" bullshit. Being a whiny bitch doesn't mean you're being persecuted, it simply means you're a selfish, spoiled child.
wars should not only be limited to self defense- but should be limited to fighting on your own territory against an invasion
That is all well and good in a mythical semi-utopia, but in the real world this would allow batshit dictators to partake in all the ethnic cleansing they could dream of.

Is it really an abuse when the only legal avenue you have to address such situations is completely uninterested in doing anything to help you?
Wiggum to Marge: "Sorry, the law is powerless to help you"
Marge (later, while being arrested) to Wiggum: "I thought the you said the law is powerless"
Wiggum: "Powerless to help you, not to punish you....Take her away boys"

What does Pauly D's hair have to do with this?
I have to respectfully disagree. I find these over the top alliterative titles to be incredibly contrived and annoying.

Damn! The last time that happened, I got slapped with three paternity suits!
If by 80's you meant 1998...
