Worship of the "free" market (which leads to monopolies and labour opression) and strapping prisoners to their beds are not hallmarks of an anarchist state.
Quite. There'd be no market because nobody was making anything and there'd be no prisoners because they'd be running around at large, molesting little girls.
You assume that all creationists are Christians. What about the muslims who believe that God created the universe? Their book is less than two thousand years old and is still in the original Arabic.
Maybe it was crap to start with?
What do you say to them?
If the odds are equal, "Fuck you, towelheads". If I'm outnumbered, "Please don't cut my head off".
To get back to the title, arguing with a creationist is like winning the paralympics - you win but you're still a 'tard.
Don't you get it, this is exactly the reason why countries around the world dislike the United States [...]
I've been in China for over a month and it feels just like home, you get to eat, sleep, shop, work, freedom to choose your jobs, buy materialistic things.
You start off criticising the US. You end up saying that China's great because on the most US centric measure of all (consumerism) it scores OK. Shallow bastard.
As for water cooling in general, air cooling has always meant higher reliability for engines.
This is bollocks. Water cooling allows any engine to run at its optimum temperature. With air cooling, if you design it to not seize up in the hottest case, the pistons fit like michael sims' dick in a ten dollar whore.
These kids hang out with their Che Guevara t-shirts, and talk about how 'everything should be free'. But aren't willing to do anything other than ask for handouts.
Right on - if they won't give "a hole for the dole" they're just playing at it. It's like when I see reasonably attractive young women begging, I wonder why they don't go on the game - have they got no self respect or something?
No, it sounds like someone is culturally ignorant of eastern Eurpoean names
Opposite water, it sounds like a nylon fetishist. Especially one who has never actually got the suggested garment off a willing female - at least without offering payment. Not that it's a bad thing, but I think "gusset sniffer" might have been a more honest choice.
Too bad we can't get a list of companies that pay for WhenU/Gator services so people could choose not to do business with them too.That or send thema shit in a shoebox.
The "user systems" and associated features of these bank sites have nowheres near the relational properties of something like PayPal - it's not even close. They can segregate data based on customer sets, where you know where users are coming from, and you can tie them to their own set of data - data that can be archived and summarized into non-realtime aggregates.
Why does PayPal need to do all that? Maybe
eBay does, but if they're mixed together like that no wonder it's a balls up.
PayPal has the task of linking transactions between users, and allowing users to create modifications or additions to them in real time.
No it doesn't. Well, not if it's a properly designed payment system. A payment system moves money from A to B. Reliably. Securely. Period.
You obviously don't understand the difference between PayPal and a bank, yet still feel compelled to preach about it [...] I guess I shouldn't have commented on something that I actually have experience with.
Can we infer that you work for PayPal? If so, it would explain a lot.
The supermarket near me does this on probably one out of 10 occasions when I but a multipack of beer - they scan the pack and one of the individual bottles/cans. They have never, ever, just scanned the single item. And when they do, I won't tell them, because the twats refused me a refund once when I didn't notice it till I got home.

Secondly, absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Magnesium? Did they run out of sodium?
I'll raise you the "whole word select" feature.
