but I wasn't speaking of sex whores, but of work whores.
As for sex whores, despite your (and other poster's here) romantic notions about that line of work most in the world do it either out of desperation for money or are forced to do it.
no, doing degrading and immoral work for money makes one a whore. So Miguel is still a Microsoft ho' - bag, willing to endanger free software with his compromises and putting work potentially under Microsoft software patents into free software.
Impact plus fire would be more accurate. And the thicker and more fire-insulated a structural member, the longer it will take to fail. Part of the "cost reduced crap"-iness I was referring to was use of struts from inner to outer wall, and beams with minimal (though just within regs for the time) fire insulation.
those of the lower castes in India would disagree with you, where many are beaten, murdered, systematically denied legal representation, denied justice by government, given jobs in inhumane working conditions, denied educational opportunity.....
We in the USA should not be taking advantage of the lower prices afforded by a country that practices such things, it is evil.
actually, those particular buildings the airliners hit were very flimsy cost-reduced crap compared to comparable ones made with normal construction techniques. Normally you'd ruin a perfectly good airplane. Real "skyscrapers" can withstand tremendous strain including the airliners.
the police usually come in after a murder and do paperwork and investigation, they most of the time cannot and do not protect from attempted murder-in-progress or rape-in-progress or kidnapping-in-progress. Only a fool, later to be labelled "victim", relies on police as primary self-protection or family protection against those threats. The primary responsibility for protection is therefore at the individual, family and neighbor level. Therefore the individual is obligated to provide the first line of protection for himself and for his family, the government is second or third tier.
police are a local function, my local taxes which are another matter entirely.
even though nowadays we have all manner of national-level police and that is wrong.
If you read federalist papers you'll find our founding fathers even considered a huge standing army in time of peace to be evil (and guess what we find today....) If we only protected our shores instead of projecting power all over the globe to intimidate, profiteer, genocide we'd be in much better shape.
The federal government is STRICTLY to be limited to enumerated duties in the constitution, all other power reserved to the states or to the People.
And by the way, I don't consider the police the first defense against home invader who wishes to rape or kill or kidnap. Police are reactive, the armed citizen is the constitutionally approved first line of defense.
How about waging war against countries that aren't on board with our petrodollar cartel? Or waging war to line the pockets of the military industrial complex? Is that an abuse of foreign policy? Is that being "cops of the world"?
I think you're very confused on who the very worst offenders on the planet in that regard is.
eh?, my firefox 3.5.8 does http://3626153264/ just fine (that's it.slashdot.org by the way)
as others have pointed out, doesn't matter to any sane filtering system, the same numeric IP is emitted over the network by your computer anyway regardless of numerical base in browser
We're afraid of our continuing slide into a police state, and of giving the idiots who mismanage our country the further power to deny us employment or driving at a whim or for clerical error. That driver's license permission you speak of is at the state level, and moreover it works to get on a plane.
Look at how the federal government has already mismanaged and abused things with the No-Fly list, the stupidity of relying on a mere name which dozens or hundreds or thousands of other people have to determine if someone can fly or if they'll be hassled for hours at an airport. Enough already, they can't function in a competent manner with what they have, why give them even more ways to screw with our lives.
And by the way, we were NOT given the "right to health care". Something that is taken by threat of force from one person to give to another is never a "right". If it costs me money for someone else to have it is not a right.
The truth is that plenty of U.S. slashdotters who championed the success of moderate amounts of socialism in California and of healthcare and other social services in Europe are conveniently neglecting the reality that California is bankrupt and that all of the European countries are either bankrupt or soon to be.
So the forms themselves are largely purposeless and useless, how does that invalidate my point? It sounds like eliminating entire departments of government is viable......
no, UK has the problems it does because of wholesale destruction of home economic base over the last three decades, losing the means to produce real wealth by muscle and mind. Graduates are churned out of school with moron-level knowledge and no concept of self-sufficiency, ready for the dole. Creating make-work jobs is NOT the way out of the hole but only prolongs total collapse for a short time. Solution is building a base of wealth creation relevant to modern world. What I say applies equally well to the USA.
so there are thousands of government workers that could easily be replaced by a small pile of silicon chips and a bit of electricity, and they are said to provide "valuable service"? I have an idea, let them go work and provide something of actual value, or let them starve to death. win / win either way.
Consider that 99% of the information stored in computers is either bullshit, the analysis of bullshit, or the selling of bullshit to the bullshitted entirely denominated in fiat bullshit monetary units. Consider that the lower floors under that I.T. floor would most likely be staffed by management, sales and marketing wanks. I'm seeing very little downside to your so-called "disaster".
was in last four years, for me that's recent. and it had couple of sequels also were done that way, not realD. there also were some "scary" creep-show type kids movies which names escapes me at moment. Took my kids with a few others to see them, so had to endure 8D
nope. for example, The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl. done with anaglyph 3D (yes, that means you view with the colored glasses in the theater, and not RealD).

wrong, caste system alive and well, especially in northern India. U.N. Human Rights Council declared it a human rights abuse at end of last year.

nope, Microsoft has the audacity to claim their bloated buggy crap is suitable for general use.

he probably could sell it on eBay anyway without physically getting it. wouldn't be first such sale
actually, there have been plenty of recent 3D kid's movies done with old school red/green and red/blue glasses.
