If they don't stop this behavior, Police who testify will have to use something more convincing than a quote from Wikipedia to put someone behind bars.
I don't know, I'm still waiting on a police officer to testify and use the Chewbacca Defense.
What about TV? Especially in OJish cases where every TV on the planet is blaring about it!
When you're a juror you're not supposed to really watch TV. A friend is about to give a victim's statement on a murder case and she isn't allowed to discuss the facts of the case, watch TV, call anybody about it, read the newspaper, or do just about anything that could skew her opinion on the case. Sure, you can watch Happy Days reruns on TV Land if your shitty motel 6 room that the district attourney set you up in has it, but when you're flown out of state to give testimony on a case and you have nothing to do but sit in a hotel room it's pretty boring. I told her to bring books. Lots of books.
I know. Shame on us for thinking rationally instead of having a knee-jerk, tough-guy hypothetical reaction that reality would no doubt quash in a heartbeat.
Well, if I was threatened on the street with a friend or loved one I would not hesitate to take the attacker down by any means necessary, but that is a completely different scenario because I would be in true imminent danger. A robber in the house doesn't want any of the possessions I have that can't be replaced by insurance or myself, such as family photos, etc. A TV, a car, even my guitar can be replaced. In that situation I'd just lock the door, and shout loudly "I am calling the police, leave."
In my area especially there are seedy parts of town, and drugs are a problem. I'm not about to take on someone itching for a fix that broke into my house to steal my change jar. That's too much of a risk for both myself and my family.
Sorry, but a the value of a car or any other possession that can be replaced is not worth me risking my own freedom.
Not only that, insurance should cover it. I'm not going to risk my life over a car. I'd lock the door connecting the house to the garage and call the police. I'm not going to put myself or my family in the house at risk.
But in 10 years that monster cable will be worth the price of scrap copper and the Strad will probably go from $2M to $5M.
That wasn't the point I was going for though. I was pointing out that a blind sound test has been done with two things, and the overall price of each test.
They did it with the monster cables vs a coat hanger. You could probably just grab a $500 violin and pit it against one of these 2 million dollar ones and see. The only problem is that the cost of $2m and $500 vs $150 and a coat hanger is a much bigger monetary difference.
Confirming that. I even had a free subscription in the mail from signing up for GameFly or something that I can't remember, I don't think I read a single one.
This was a little like going through the Total Perspective Vortex.
$21.93 is what my online identity is worth.
That's odd. Mine came up with the same amount. I didn't even fill in close to legitimate numbers (They might be listening...), and I was told I am worth $21.93. I think it's all bullshit and they're just giving a random number.
-I don't claim that all people above 30 are reasonable or that the kids are all annoying, but in general I'd prefer to play with people of my own age group.
If you want to play an MMO, form your own clan/guild/linkshell. Recruit only like minded individuals who are also mature and you'll go far.
Is it worth getting more spam in my gmail spam folder to do some trialware crap and get the premium version? I already have over 10,000 messages in there, what's another thousand or so?
Im using the trial version of the premium suite on my new PC (procrastinating on buying it) and I have only gotten a handful of e-mails, only reminding me to purchase it or that my trial is expiring soon. Not too bad, IMO.
I don't think naming it the "Mexican Flu" is going to hurt the tourism to Mexico any more than the knowledge that the strain did, in fact, originate in Mexico and the massive number of reported cases in Mexico already have. And besides, as I mentioned, there is a precedent.
plus_M, I've talked to people who still think that you can get it from eating pork products. People in general are stupid, and these same people are the ones who avoided Toronto when SARS hit.
- Old AQ40, which you have to do wall walking, slow falling, and lots of running all the way from Tanaris to the back of Silithus. Bring a soulstone!
- The caverns under Karazhan can also be found by running there in ghost form if you pop a Dark Rune or have a horde kill you.
- Old Caverns of Time was fun. There were also many invisible holes in the ground. If you stepped the wrong way, you'd have to spirit res.
- The Ironforge landing strip. You can still get there if you wall walk in the right place. If you follow the mountain, you can find the peak with a banner on it. If you go NorthEast down the mountain from there you can find a walkway with a troll cave.
- Old ZG. You could (and possibly still can) wall walk and jump around enough to get into an unpopulated ZG still in the STV zone.
- Between STV and Duskwood, you could run up the hillside near the bridge and follow that along to be up on top of the mountain bordering the two zones. It's how I made it to Swamp of Sorrows as horde at level 35.
Blizzard got it right when they made the flying mounts. Many of these hidden areas they would sometimes 72 hour suspend you for no longer could be found because everything could be explored from above.
I guess I don't understand why this would be fun for you. You are like a stalker. You follow around some poor girl who doesn't want you around her all for what? All you are doing is wasting your own time and making other people unhappy. It is fun for you. But what does that say about you? Were you abused as a child? Do you not have social skills and lack friends? I both think you are pathetic and feel sorry for you. You must have some real mental problems.
I do it for fun because I'm a generally miserable person.

Any time I see someone playing a violin I ask if they can play "Devil Went Down to Georgia." I usually don't get positive responses...
It's actually Keyboard Cat. Play him off!
I am not a Wired reader.
Confirming that. I even had a free subscription in the mail from signing up for GameFly or something that I can't remember, I don't think I read a single one.
I just don't like the fact that when I browse down the front page and I open up one after another to several tabs, it locks up Firefox AND IE8.

And will pop up a reminder every two days to inform you that for only 19.95/year you could be using AntiVira Premium.
It's non-intrusive though. You click OK, and it goes away. No more for two days. It's preferable to the alternatives that are out there.
I ended up buying a 3 year license for $129.99(US).

Personally, I think people are aching for alternatives to the current big players like McAfee.
I'm aching for alternatives to bloatware like AVG, actually.
Avira.
This, of course, is for home and personal use.
Yeah, you don't get it by eating pork. that's how you get tapeworms. you get swine flu by porking pigs.
Giggity.

"The liberal news media is a conservative myth" is a liberal media myth.
The "liberal media news is a conservative myth is a liberal media myth" is a conservative myth.
OH NO! WE'VE ENTERED INFINITE RECURSION!
"Mexican Flu".
With the politically correct liberal media, we can't have that name or it will possibly hurt the tourism in Mexico.
Your Mom knows how to bowl.
Hey, now... keep it decent now. Mom jokes are uncalled for.
There are tiny odds of just about anything happening, why is it news?
Yeah, and we can't even use the excuse that it was a posting by kdawson. Come on, Taco!
Next up.. How to make a tinfoil hat that can stop the CIA's mind control rays.
You have my undivided attention.
There's tons:

"Death in wow has zero penalties, "
False. It cost time and money and frustrates the user.
False. No repairs are required from being ganked by another player.
And you're costing yourself time playing a game in the first place. Maybe you'd be better off playing Oblivion where nobody can hurt you.
