Should we then search for Jehovah 1 and a corporate sin galaxy? Surely it would be easier to find evidence for "Bob" than it would be to find evidence for Adam, given a lesser timescale. I bet the odds are about the same on finding evidence that truly supports either one...
Coming this spring to Fox News! "The War on Iran: What the other cable news companies won't break because they don't have the insider sources we have, or at least claim we have but won't ever verify. If you don't believe us, you're not an American" *insert overly dramatic music here*
Of course it isn't cause by people wanting more than they have, it's obviously caused by demons possessing people! Quick, call the priests, we need to exorcise everyone, just in case!
I was more refering to the more collectivist nature of Europe. I'm not a commie, far from it, but I also realize that corporations are out to make profits, and I don't really see the NY Times, CNN, Fox News, etc sounding the horns for the lawyers over Google news.
Oh, and if you want to get bent out of shape in regards to the definition of irony, you might want to look up that under the first definition, the whole use of words other than their litteral intention, there's also a "Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs", which was perfectly correct in my post.
So in other words it benefits the consumers of news. This isn't bad for people, it's only bad for those who refuse to change their business model. How does it cost more to make subscription-only archived articles available to the public? It's not like storage costs go up, and any decent news site isn't going to see a huge jump in bandwidth. They'd take a hit in revenue, yes, but that's only if they don't look into what other companys (for example, Google itself) do. True, I don't want endless popup advertisements, but a little text ad off to the side isn't going to hurt things.
Then again, I find it ironic that it's the European newspapers that are the ones who are trumpeting this. You'd think rabid corporatists in America would be screaming their heads off if they thought their bottom lines were hurting from Google.
Well, when we live on a planet like the "It's a small world" ride in Disney World, get back to us. Until then, he's got a point, some AC comment on/. is hardly the worst someone will ever face. I don't condone racism, but it happens. People are idiots, what do you expect?
How long until every parent asks why little Johnny or little Mary isn't in the "gifted" program. Surely they are the smartest in their class. Why does it seem like we hear about some sort of drive for the gifted every few years, but then it amounts to nothing? I'd bet that it's simply that people are unwilling to tell parents that their kid doesn't know jack, if only because of the lawyers.
I wish I had been in something that would've challenged me when I was younger, rather than simply being bored to tears after either already knowing things or figuring them out after 30 seconds. Yes, it's a shame that smart kids are still relegated to the same level of classes as the below-average kids, but can you really blame school districts for not wanting to go out on a limb and classify students? How many lawsuits would that bring up?
Instead we get education that suits neither the brightest nor the dimmest, nor pretty much anyone for that matter. We just get simple, boiled down cookie cutter lessons for everyone. No wonder public education sucks.
I don't know what games other people are playing, but high-res Halo is maybe up to the scale of PC games, if we were back in 2002. Seriously, there's no comparing X-Box 360 graphics with the mainstream computer graphics of today. Take a screenshot of Half Life 2 and compare it to Halo 2, and Halo 2 will be blown out of the water, hands down.
Seriously, consoles haven't been cutting edge in graphics since what, the Atari? Even with all of Microsoft's muscle, there's only so much they can fool people into thinking that this will be the panacea for the gap between consoles and computers, beacuse it's not.
Why should a government collect information on the very citizens that it is supposed to be responsive to and then have the gall to keep the information secret in perpetuity? Law enforcement doesn't need to know everyone who went in and out of Las Vegas for two weeks to prevent a terrorist attack, and it certainly doesn't need to keep that information for years down the line. What ever happened to detective work, to actually figuring things out without spying on everyone? And even if we did a better job fighting terrorism than anyone else (which is hard to determine, and very likely untrue given Israel's existance), it still wouldn't mean that we're fighting effectively. We fought the Vietnamese better than anyone, but Ho Chi Minh ended up winning because out tactics still sucked.
Oh, and France does have it's version of the Bill of Rights. It's called the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
I'm not saying that Bush didn't pull a bunch of strings to get MS off the hook. I do find it sad, however, that justice can be subverted by the political powers that be. Pardoning an individual in a controvertial case is one thing, pardoning a company that is obviously out to not just succeed, but to control, smacks to me of something that should raise the eyebrows of any reasonable American.
Yeah, Bill is like Rockefeller, so let's make him more like Rockefeller by breaking up his monopolistic company (which is actually far more monopolistic than Standard Oil, which "only" had 64% market share).
No, I'm sorry. Both "A Method of Killing Using a Piece of Shaped Metal Launched With Explosive Powder" and "A Method of Tying Ropes That Can Break a Person's Neck or Suffocate Them" have been patented. Come up with an original solution, or the patent owners will charge you for their deaths.
Google isn't perfect. It's run by people who are no more or less capable of evil than anyone else. It's done some very questionable things in China as well.
God definitely does exist - the sooner you realize this the better.
There is no more proof of the existance of God than there is for the existance of Zues, Odin, or the little elf inside my head.
Without God, why do you care about human rights?
Because I have empathy for my fellow man Because I hope for a tomorrow where heaven actually exists, except on earth.
Evolution and might makes right, China is over 1 billion strong, I'd expect atheists to celebrate the torture.
Then obviously you haven't met many atheists. Perhaps an individual atheist might celebrate it, but an individual Christian might too. Obviously it makes sense to expect Christians to celebrate the torture too, right?
Perhaps you should actually read essays on humanist ideals instead of reading over and over in the Bible how bad atheists are.
Except they don't, since deep down most aren't 100% God-less.
Eh, the number is fewer than you think, although certainly some may exist. Nevertheless, not all theists are 100% with God/gods/whatever they believe.
Point of clarification: The Mayan calander doesn't say that the winter solstace of 2012 (~December 22nd) will be the end of time, merely the end of the current age. Now, for all we know, we'll get horsemen breaking up the Olympics with plague, pestilance, famine, or death, or we could just get a load of nothing like every other doomsday scenario. Hey, who knows?
Yes, because hey, it wouldn't be right if a small percentage of people in Africa possibly got cancer instead of the 2.7 million people dying every year from malaria. Then again, it's not really toxic to humans anyway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT).
We could tax till we're blue in the face, but it doesn't help if Congress constantly finds ways to spend the cash on pork barrel or politically correct projects, all while avoiding paying down the national debt. Even if we simply indexed government expandatures to inflation it would put us on stable financial footing fairly soon.

I for one welcome out modded up discretionless overlords.
I didn't realize that Apple was selling the iConsole yet.
You would be surprised how long it can take them to verify your license and registration...
And with gas prices the way they are nowindays, they use them to find the best cars to siphon off of.

They have to have them ready for a new version of MST3000.
Not if the gun is a sniper rifle shooting from 1.8 kilometers away. That's cooler to kill a target with than bashing them over the head with a rock...

It may all be well and good not to lose energy, but it must produce a significant positive output to be useful as a power supply.
