The problem with the felons not owning guns thing is that there are many felonies which should have no impact on the matter. Unless you have committed a violent felony is there really any reason to take your ability to defend yourself away?
The graphics architecture on the 360 is only better if you ignore the cell proc. However, if you even task 1 SPC to graphics processing the PS3 blows the 360 out of the water.
However, this isn't because the emulator doesn't run according to spec. This generally is because various developers used programming tricks to generate effects that were outside of spec.
Actually, he's stating a very logical consequence of shutting down public BT sites and programs. People looking for normal copyrighted files will look for/make the programs needed which will as a consequence of government action be anonymous. The amount of people looking for non-illicit material is much more than those looking for illicit material, thusly they are more likely to get such a program made. However, once made it is certain to be used by the purveyors of the illicit material(in this case child porn.).
Eh, it's happened multiple times concerning ones stance on the 2nd amendment, and there was that one incident where the woman was fired from Playgirl for being a Republican. No reason it hasn't happened the other way.
Stare Decisis. And they'll use it if it suits them, but otherwise they won't. Or they'll use it if they can ignore/twist the meaning all out of proportion(see almost every single fucking case that cites US V Miller except for the recent Parker decision.) Until the Supremes either take a case and define it or take a case using it and say it's proper, it's not truly Stare Decisis.
Soo, two of the games(Oblivion and Vegas) look slightly better on the PS3, two others(Splinter and Sonic) look worse, and the final two(ultimate and Tony hawk) look the same pretty much. Oddly, the two biggest budget games were the two that looked better on the PS3. Whereas the review of Double Agent makes it pretty damn clear that they fucked up the port. As for the sonic game, who fucking cares?
It's really rather irrelevant. You gave them to the computer to fix without securing your files. The smart thing to do, given that there aren't even basic ethics or civics classes being taught anymore in public school, is to assume that is is eminently possible that your files might be looked through. The idea that there is a proper way to act has in many respects become an anachronism outside of certain areas or types of people. This is through no real fault of the kids in question, other than that they are the ones who transgressed, but rather the society, mainly the parents, that brought them up.
It theoretically causes a loss in profit. However the realities of the situation are more complicated. First you have the 0-0=0 principle, which is to say that just because someone is willing to download something doesn't mean they would buy it at the price you're selling. I suspect that a plurality of downloads fall in this category.
Then you have the actual losses, that is, those who would have bought media but no longer will because it is available to download. Probably not THAT big of a segment. Then you have those who download and then buy if they like it. This segment is probably bigger than the previous segment when it comes to indie bands or bands who have loyal fans. Not so much the latest pop princess.
And then you have the exposure factor. Again this mainly applies to newer bands who are not well known. It the same idea that the more saturated your advertising is, the less of a percentage of people will buy your product but in real numbers that number will be higher than what it was when you had a higher percentage return on your ads.
Y'know, it's bloody fucking amazing how many people all of a sudden have eidetic memories in this fucking country. *sneers* What a bunch of poltroons. You ratfuckers couldn't give the exact date of an event that, to you, was relatively insignificant, which is what this entire situation was to Libby. And yet here you are like a good bunch of little brown shirts, parroting the Pravda line.
You mean the peer-reviewed estimates that were booed out of public sight, except for the minds of a few rabid lefties? The ones with a CI of 95% or greater, which is fucking pathetic?.
"Compare that to Medicare, which only has an overhead rate of 1 percent. Medicare is an extremely efficient health-care delivery system," says Mark Meaney, a health-care ethicist for the National Institute for Patient Rights. Heh, THAT's funny. Firstly, once you factor in that Medicare being paid for by taxes the overhead spikes to around 30-40% which is approximately the efficiency that the government works at. Not to mention that it's a helluva lot harder to sue the government than an insurance company. Moreover, illegals don't have access to Medicare, whereas they DO have access to emergency room visits, which makes it much more expensive for everyone else.
Unfortunately, Moore is also a con man of a very brazen sort, and never more so than in this film. His cherry-picked facts, manipulative interviews (with lingering close-ups of distraught people breaking down in tears) and blithe assertions (how does he know 18 million people will die this year because they have no health insurance?) are so stacked that you can feel his whole argument sliding sideways as the picture unspools.

That last statement is even truer than you'd know from watching "Sicko." In the case of Canada -- which Moore, like many other political activists, holds up as a utopian ideal of benevolent health-care regulation -- a very different picture is conveyed by a short 2005 documentary called "Dead Meat," by Stuart Browning and Blaine Greenberg. These two filmmakers talked to a number of Canadians of a kind that Moore's movie would have you believe don't exist:
.
.
.
James Christopher, the film critic of the Times of London, thinks he knows why. After marveling at Moore's rosy view of the British health care system in "Sicko," Christopher wrote, "What he hasn't done is lie in a corridor all night at the Royal Free [Hospital] watching his severed toe disintegrate in a plastic cup of melted ice. I have." Last month, the Associated Press reported that Gordon Brown -- just installed this week as Britain's new prime minister -- had promised to inaugurate "sweeping domestic reforms" to, among other things, "improve health care."

Moore's most ardent enthusiasm is reserved for the French health care system, which he portrays as the crowning glory of a Gallic lifestyle far superior to our own. The French! They work only 35 hours a week, by law. They get at least five weeks' vacation every year. Their health care is free, and they can take an unlimited number of sick days. It is here that Moore shoots himself in the foot. He introduces us to a young man who's reached the end of three months of paid sick leave and is asked by his doctor if he's finally ready to return to work. No, not yet, he says. So the doctor gives him another three months of paid leave -- and the young man immediately decamps for the South of France, where we see him lounging on the sunny Riviera, chatting up babes and generally enjoying what would be for most people a very expensive vacation. Moore apparently expects us to witness this dumbfounding spectacle and ask why we can't have such a great health care system, too. I think a more common response would be, how can any country afford such economic insanity?

Having driven his bring-on-government-health care argument into a ditch outside of Paris, Moore next pilots it right off a cliff and into the Caribbean on the final stop on his tour: Cuba. Here it must also be said that the director performs a valuable service. He rounds up a group of 9/11 rescue workers -- firefighters and selfless volunteers -- who risked their lives and ruined their health in the aftermath of the New York terrorist attacks. These people -- there's no other way of putting it -- have been screwed, mainly by the politicians who were at such photo-op pains to praise them at the time. (This makes Moore's faith in government medical compassion seem all the more inexplicable.) These people's lives have been devastated -- wracked by chronic illnesses, some can no longer hold down jobs and none can afford to buy the various expensive medicines they need. Moore does them an admirable service by bringing their plight before a large audience.
However, there's never a moment when we doubt that he's also using these people as props in his film, and as talking points in his agenda. Renting some boats, he leads them all off to Cuba. Upon arrival they stop briefly outside the American military enclave on Guantanamo Bay so that Moore can have himself filmed begging, thr
Bwahahaaaahahahaaaa. Um, sure, but any remotely credible statistician can tell you that all the figures in the world mean absolutely NOTHING without proper analysis. Moore's analysis tends to be so far off in the boonies that you can't even see it.
If I know someone is a serial murderer, but the way I got the evidence is inadmissible in court, would it be unethical for me to commit premeditated murder?
*sneers* And what the fuck would you do about it asshole? If it gets bad enough for an uprising, most of the ones doing the uprising will be able to outshoot upwards of 75% of cops and a good portion of the military as well.
Heh, the convention of naming an internal war a Civil War has always tickled me pink considering that they tend to be just as nasty if not nastier than normal wars.
s anyone know if jews can't ingest prok or if it's just that they can't eat it? I do know that jews don't get pissed off at pictures/toys of pigs, unlike a certain other religious path I could name.
Bwahahahaaaa. This congress has the lowest approval rating ever seen(worse than Bush's), and you think the dems will gain more power in the 08 elections. Heh. Too damned funny.
Ignoring the rest of what he said, occasionally humans can hear at that level. http://www.mp3developments.com/article7.php
Human hearing peaks out at around 20-24 KHz 3 years ago I could still hear at about 22.7, and someone else in our physics class could hear into the 23KHZ range.

It's much, much harder to get a law repealed than to pass it in the first place.
