Meh, thanks to us, in a few hundred years the oceans will be too acidic for any of those critters to survive. Seems like a safer bets to point ourselves outward in the hopes of avoiding a similar fate for ourselves.
Right. I'm crazy because I don't think the entire world will fall apart if TV studios stop being so profitable. I mean, who will design and build our roads and cars and airplanes and houses and computers then?
When the woman withdraws consent the man withdraws his organ, or it is rape.... unless you live in crazy-town.
Firstly, this is a little difficult to argue for several reasons. Just because she changes her mind while you're already doing it, it seems a little bit extreme to all of a sudden call the guy a rapist. I mean, I know that's the kind of world we live in, but I've always thought of rape as, you know, forcing someone who doesn't want to have sex with you to have sex. Not having sex with someone who went to bed with you, got naked, had sex with you for a little while, then got bored and told you to leave. That second scenario, ya, that's a hard pill to swallow. I mean, what if, in the throes of lovemaking, you don't hear her? Rape by accident? Rape by hearing aid battery power low? This kind of thing feels seriously insulting toward people who are victims of, you know, actual rape.
The next problem I have is that there's no way to prove she said "stop." She comes up to a cop the next day, points at some guy and says "that man raped me last night!" and if she can prove they had sex, she wins. Who's to say she never told him to stop? He certain won't be a credible witness, I mean, he's a rapist, right? Of course, in the US, if she took a sip from a beer at some point, she doesn't even have to change her mind until the next day, but that's another bowl of fish...
Last, and this ties in with that point, where's your evidence that this even happened in the case in question? The article you cite makes it reasonably clear that the only reason it's considered rape is because they didn't use a condom. Because, in crazy town, consensual unsafe sex is considered rape. And apparently makes him worthy of extradition, too.
At this point, it becomes more than just finding an article that supports your claim about the events, dude. Either you find a credible source (not media) that says they both told him to stop (which is still a pretty BS rape charge), or maybe you should seriously reconsider your position on this guy. I'm not a fan of him, but I don't think he's done anything really outrageous here, either. I think he coulda handled it a lot better, but idiocy is not the same as rape.
Ya, but it's little more than just a crappy, Google-branded BrowserLinux with a bunch of recommended links put in, taking up about 10-20 times as much hard drive space. I was really looking forward to it when I installed it on my netbook, and was pretty disappointed.
I thought that was the whole point of Web 2.0: directly connecting you to people who want to sell you junk you don't need based vaguely on what your interests might be.
Heck, Netflix recommended Rocky and Bullwinkle based on my interest in Yojimbo, and they were spot on... doesn't get much more Web 2.0 than that.
In New York City, there are actually quite a few "hacker labs" you can join for access to cool equipment, like laser cutters and lathes and such. While not tax supported like a public library, I feel the membership fee amounts to little more than a tax.
And I, as an American, will also keep my just-as-patently-absurd arbitrary measurement system for the same reason. Until there is a real universal system (including measurements for time! Why didn't SI fix our idiotic time system?) there's no reason to change to SI.
No one has an acceptable sample size on this, so any opinion on either side of this argument is totally unfounded!
What are we going to do, ask people whether they're cheating on unemployment? Like that guy who responded to me and said he turned down a job because it was less than his unemployment, which is actually grounds to lose unemployment benefits? Do you think anyone is going to admit it?
I think the fact that anyone is abusing the system demonstrates that the system is fundamentally flawed. More so that people like that guy think they aren't abusing it, when they are already breaking the rules.
Wait, that's not what the meter is anymore! Now it's:
The distance light travels in some ridiculously bizarre amount of time, assuming very specific stipulations about free space and gravity, which just so happens to coincide with the approximate length of an object that inaccurately measured a portion of a non-spherical planet based on the assumption that it was a perfect sphere.

You wouldn't say "A glass water" would you?
I will now.
Well, we won't be arriving there for a long, long time, at least.

The logical conclusion of the search engine arms race is... skynet?
The way of the intercepting search result?

Except 10,000 people probably won't be retarded enough to just keep around garbage files that didn't work when they downloaded them.
Way to miss the point.
Well, if ten peers show up, maybe it's not so good. If ten thousand show up, maybe it's legit.
Yes, because the only reason anyone would ever create anything is to get a paycheck.
You really should get an account... like PizzaAnalogyGuy or something.
I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on the Internet.
Sometimes this statement is rather more self-evident than other times.
Having consensual unsafe sex is not rape unless you live in crazy-town.
The laws sure bounced off of Assange...

I wonder if the order of the films Fistful of Dollars and Yojimbo might tip you off...
Ya, Kurosawa is a pretty bad hack, it's true. Check out The Hidden Fortress, it's practically a scene-for-scene rip off of the first Star Wars.

Why use powers of 10? It's a terrible base! A good system of units should not take convenience for humans into consideration at all.

Um, no it doesn't... Do you not have automatic updates on or something?
