The words themselves are still true, just like 1 + 1 = 2 will always be true.
I only see a person who is not very good at thinking things through. 1 + 1 = 10, when in the base 2 numbering system that many people here are quite comfortable with. Plus, I am sure there are other situations where things you think are universal end up being untrue. Look at the angles of a triangle, they supposedly add up to 180 degrees, right? That only holds if the triangle is in a plane, when on the surface of a sphere the angles don't add up to 180 any more.
That's fine. Let the people who are two lazy to keep track of their own kids vaccine schedule dump a dozen into them at once. I do agree that for most people that is the preferred method. I would rather risk your kids dying from some horrible problem with the vaccine than you not getting them done right. But I don't want to risk my kids. I will keep track of the schedule and make sure the needed vaccines are done at the right times.
Like Hepatitis B vaccine for a newborn?! That's a sexually transmitted disease. I think you can wait until they are at least six years old before you have to worry about them having sex!
Go ahead and mod me down! I will only get stronger!
It's pretty amazing to me how violent a lot of people on here sound when talking about this issue. Things like "You and your spawn deserve to die" and other very pleasant thoughts. I am not against vaccines, but I think a parent needs to decide which ones are needed and not get every one of the hundreds they want to stick into a person. Ohhh, this vaccine is for a disease that is as bad as getting a cold, but it is super rare that you would ever get it!!! I must get that vaccine right away, I don't want to get a COLD!!!~ [end-sarcasm]. And yes, there are vaccines for things that are that mild.
And don't forget the studies that have shown the hazards of injecting aluminum into your blood. A single vaccine in an adult may not be very much aluminum, but when it's a 2 or 3 month old infant and they want to stick 6 or more vaccines into them at once, all with their own dose of aluminum, it adds up. The studies to see what level of aluminum is safe for an infant have not been done. Then you also see stories like that cheerleader that got all messed up. Vaccines aren't perfect either, but most people on here think everyone had better get every damn shot your great and powerful gov'mint says you should get. Be sure to drink your fluoride while your at it (toxic leftover waste from munitions production).
It comes down to risk assessment. Each vaccine must be weighed in on the severity of the disease for the person and the rest of society balanced against it's rarity and the makeup of the vaccine itself and any questionable ingredients that can cause problems (infected monkey kidneys used in polio vaccine). The problem is that most people are very bad at risk assessment. And they don't want to think for themselves. They want to be told what to do and just do it (and buy it)!
That is just wrong. The lawmakers can pass law after law that is unconstitutional and might eventually get turned down by the supreme court with no repercussions. I think that if a lawmaker sponsors a law that is found to be unconstitutional later, they should immediately be put to death. Their law took the liberty from many thousands or even millions of Americans, they should have some accountability if they supported illegal bills.
The fourth option: There is already a cure, but it involves diet. There is no money to be made in telling people what to eat, so they outlaw it and you have to go to Mexico or Japan to get treatment. And anyone who wants to tell me that Gerson Therapy does not work has not read up on the astounding number of people completely cured. The experts will tell you that the results are not valid because it wasn't a double blind study. I'm not sure how to do a double blind study with some people eating vegetable juices and some people eating a regular american diet. But having 198 out of 200 people walk away cured is pretty good results. The experts will also tell you the institute will not let anyone look at the records to confirm the results, yet that too is a lie.
No you don't! That is what piracy is for. and Disney is at the top of my piracy list. Even if I was Bill Gates rich, I would pirate the Disney movies rather than purchase them. For one, I feel it is wrong to support them monetarily. For two, the movies are only brought out of the "Disney Vault" once every 10 years or something. Ok, it they don't want to sell it, then there is no problem with finding my own source. And three, the original disk is so filled with trailers and "Slow Play" crap that it takes 15 minutes before you can watch the movie. The copied disks have no problems. I get a much better product without supporting a manipulative "evil" company.
No, they might just decide to switch to another Windows Phone. Different and incompatible with the WP8. Like Phones with Windows (PW12) or something. And everyone has to switch to stay with MS. I seem to remember there was another windows phone back in the Palm days. Is that compatible with WP8? I don't know for sure, but I would guess no.
I would believe it! What has MS not abandoned? Keyboards and mice? That's about it. I guess their OS and Office software could count too, but hardware and platform initiatives like Plays-For-Sure get canned before they even give them a chance. Just look at the Kin.
This comment resonates with me. My wife and I are strongly considering home schooling for reasons such as this. Plus, with the dumbing down the curriculum for the idiots and trying to purge any thinking from the children so they turn into good little followers, it is either home school or private school. I too find it ironic that home school and private school used to be a primarily religious wacko thing, but as the education in this country falls to sub-standard levels it has become the only sensible option for a child that is brighter than the average dim-wit out there.
Or they would be willing to receive 4 gigabyte streams of random bits in lieu of actual copies of movies, as long as the titles of the files were correct. Neither of these are true, so this whole thing is bunk.
And how many times have you heard of these Media Companies suing people with nothing more than a file name as "proof". It could be 4 gigabytes of random bits, but as long as the title of the file was correct you will get sued for sharing it in a torrent.
I have yet to see an Android phone (in my country anyway) which doesn't feature a simple checkbox that allows you to install apps that didn't come from the market.
I have a cousin here in the USA that had an AT&T android phone. The install non-market apps checkbox was removed from the options. They do exist. A few months ago I remember reading that AT&T was going to put out an update to give that funtionality back to those customers though, so it is less of a deal now than it was.
Just fly past your destination before slowing down. Then the burst is traveling away from the family back home. You then turn the ship around and go the rest of the way on impulse engines. Why did someone even bother with this if it is such an easy solution.
It is examples like this that reinforce my belief that the police are the most likely criminals that I will encounter. When I read in the paper about police shootings, I rejoice inside. If they break the law, they are criminals. If the law does not hold them accountable for their crimes, then vigilante justice is the only justice we can get.
The crazy thing is that potato chips are bad, but only because everyone uses vegetable oil now. If they were cooked in good old fashioned lard or tallow we would all be a lot healthier. The only vegetable oils that can be heated and still be healthy are palm oil and coconut oil. My wife and I have started cooking everything in bacon fat, which means we are eating much more bacon to supply the fat. We have both lost weight without even trying.
The food pyramid has the same ratio of grains that farmers use when they want to fatten up their stock before slaughter. I don't trust what the government says is healthy. Either they are completely stupid (listening to the wrong nut-jobs), or they are completely corrupt. Either way, I can decide what is healthy better than they can.
I was listening to a 2600 radio show podcast from a few months ago where they had the guy who made TV-B-Gone. I think it was a fund-raising show if that helps out for anyone looking for it. He talked about how they went over to China and looked into places for manufacturing. The place they chose has high quality chefs on premises to make food for the workers as well as giving lots of educational improvement to them. The factory found that keeping the workers happy leads to better production and less turn-over. The extra cost that TV-B-Gone had to pay to go with a morally sound factory rather than a Foxcon was around 10 or 25 cents per piece (I realize that is a large spread, I don't remember the exact number). So it is possible to find factories in China who treat their people well, make a good product, and are still rather cheap.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other though. Maybe somewhat Minority Report-ish, but what if he actually WAS planning on trying to make a bomb? Why should we wait until this person has actually killed potentially hundreds of people with a bomb or some similar device or act before acting against him?
All this does is make me want to find the instructions for myself. I am curious about learning things and reading that this guy had the plans for bombs and ricin makes me want them also. Especially since I saw an episode of "Breaking Bad" recently where the science teacher made ricin from beans and was going to use it to kill a crazy drug kingpin. So am I a criminal now just because I want information?
I agree on the titanium. My ring is made with it. without the color: http://www.titaniumrings.com/breeze-dome-4.html I love that it never gets scratched. It may look scuffed up and I have even had someone take a scrall to it and it looked like they scored a huge line right into the metal. A little buffing though and it looks brand new again. It's really light weight also.
My wife and I are both geeks and movie buffs. We printed movie titles for the table identifiers. Each person had their name on a movie ticket for the table they were assigned to.
If your wife is also a geek then keeping involved in the geeky hobbies is easier. There is definately less time for whatever you might want to do, especially after kids arrive, but I don't think it should be expected that you just drop what interests you. Maybe I am really lucky that my wife is interested in the stuff I am interested in.
My examples may be ones that are unenforcable, but there are plenty of laws that are unenforced in general, until they decide to enforce it so they have a reason to arrest a person. Less laws that can be selectivly enforced would be a good thing in my book.
I think they are going to hurt their sales of consoles also. If an out-of-warantee Xbox 720 breaks, some people will just buy a new one. If all of your old games won't work on it, then there is no point. Perhaps they will get theirs fixed instead. But if it is beyond repair, I think many people would write off that console and not buy another or any other games for it, and would probably steer clear of the next generation of that console also. You can only screw people over soo far before they get wise to it.
Yeah, those work on a strobe light with a pattern of flashes. On many ambulances you can see the white strobe light on the front of the vehicle. If you can get the timing of the pattern, you can program a circuit to activate a strobe light to trigger the lights. I believe it is illegal as it would be considered "imprersonating an emergency vehicle". You can see the sensor on the traffic lights easily. To be more stealthy, you can put an infrafred filter over the strobe light. Most light sensors are sensitive to the infrared range in addition to visible light. So you can still trigger the traffic signal without the visible flashing coming from your vehicle. In the old hacking texts about red boxes and blue boxes, this device was called a chrome box.
What if there are no passengers in the car? I sent the car to drop off the kids at school and it is on it's way back home by itself. It becomes a bit more interesting then.

Their last bastion is crumbling! But that's OK, they don't need it anyway. They will always have their willful ignorance.

you still have to pay the BD price for the DVD.

False. You're cut off from no-one.
