Given the fact that microsoft has offshored closing on 50% of it's workforce, with another 9% (5000) scheduled last year, it's also important to keep in mind that microsoft isn't really an american corporation any more. It doesn't have america's best interests at heart and it will sell the U.S. interests out to the highest bidder.
A good reason to get off of microsoft products-- especially if you are the u.s. government.
Many women have to be in denial that they actually want sex or are headed towards it. They prefer an atmosphere of "whoops--- how the heck are we having sex??"
On the flip side, many men also want women who act that way since a man hunting sex predator makes their jumbly bits shrink.
Ironically, many men really only want orgasms- not sex. So they finish in 6-10 minutes. Meanwhile, women can easily have sex for 2 to 3 hours. So you have the people who are saying "no" actually able to enjoy it much longer than the people who are saying "yes" all the time. Women can have and enjoy 10 to 13 hours a week of sex as long as they are having orgasms.
Mean while, many guys really want to play sports, compete in games, go hunting or fishing and do guy things more after the orgasm.
Read up on tantric sex. Learn how to have sex longer before orgasm-- trust me- it can be like a continuous orgasm, floating along the edge.
There are many, many bad laws which we circumvent every day.
I and everyone around me this morning was speeding 5-10 mph over the speed limit. We are probably changing lanes frequently without making legally required signaling. The border patrol agents got to beat the holy hell out of that science fiction author and it's his fault for not responding quickly after being beaten. Many people smoke pot in every city of every state in the country and yet it's still illegal. 18 year olds are absolutely not supposed to drink (except perhaps if their parents give them one) Parents are not supposed to leave their children under 18 alone at home. It's illegal to see the price of a stock bid, then as a market maker buy or sell stock based on that bid given to you, and then after your order closes to then submit the stock bid (which Goldman Sachs got caught doing-- and no prosecution).
There are so many laws, that you *ARE* breaking at least one of them at any given time. (and if your not, the cops can hit you and then accuse you of assaulting them anyway).
We can't fix the bad laws. We can't repeal them.
All we can do is treat them as damage and route around them.
Not bad. Looks like a real face of a real lady without a ton of plastic surgery. And that's without makeup.
I hope Pamela doesn't do a nicole kidman, or Jennifer aniston. As much as I adored Jennifer-- the last pictures I saw made her look like her face was frozen and it was starting to have hints of alien to it.
I'm not surprised since we started those programs while I was president at the school. It was challenging, doing a good job around dating Pamela Anderson.
As recently as 1969, it was still viewed as a legitimate option. But the trend is towards suppressing it.
Doesn't matter what they say- it's a legitimate option. Even more so with the judiciary and law enforcement officers as corrupted by power as they are these days.
Per the post above, this apparently is not what happened.
* 1. The incident occured as Watts was exiting the US. He was stopped by US border patrol for a random "exit inspection"
* 2. Watts initially got out of the car and requested an explanation. At that point, one of the border patrol officers told him to get back in the car. He did so
* 3. An officer named Beaudry rushed over to the scene, got into the car with Watts, struck him in the face and told him to get out.
* 4. Watts exited the car and Beaudry ordered him to get to the ground.
* 5. Watts did not comply, but rather demanded an explanation.
* 6. Beaudry pepper-spayed watts and threatened him with a baton. At that point Watts lay down, was handcuffed, and placed under arrest.
So he got out (unwise), got back in... then it went south-- what the hell was the other officer doing getting in the car, hitting him, and then telling him to get out- he'd already complied.
However, being cheeky will get you in trouble very quickly so be careful. Judges are usually little tin martinets who demand absolute respect or they'll stick it up your ass.
The reason a jury of your peers is involved is so they can refused to return a guilty plea if they think the crime wasn't committed, was justified, or the law is bogus.
The legal system has been so corrupted that following the laws as written just means you are screwed. Hell, they've probably executed a couple hundred innocent people at this point.
Every time you serve as a juror (as i will next week), you protect your right to jury nullification. If they ask you questions about your beliefs on it (or "will you follow the law as written") then your correct answer is that you will do so. And then once you are on the jury- do what is right- do what is just.
Don't argue jury nullfication in the jury room and do not tell any other juror you believe it . Simply say, "not guilty- not convinced- not sure- but not guilty".
Clearing money for licenses regularly takes 3-5 months at my corporation. Imagine if we could just start because we knew the licenses were free?
The goofy thing is licenses good for activity "A" with the product but not good for activity "B" with the product (i.e. okay for testing web, but not for test flash web). Same testing product. physically could be used- but legally can't. So $50,000 for "flash web" licenses. So testing canceled.
The benefit is if they develop an open source permit system, then many people can use it for free. Many people will contribute to the open source permit system.
If it's based on open standards, then other folks will be able to develop compatible permit systems in the future.
They won't have to buy a copy for version 1992, then version 1995, then version 1998, then version 1998se, then version 2000, then version 2003, then version 2005, then version 2006, and finally for version 2010.
With closed data and closed source- you pay and pay and pay. (and will continue to pay in the future).
And it they go belly up or stop supporting the product, then you are really screwed.

All of my personal software stack except dragon dictate is now opensource products that use open source data formats (and support most proprietary formats as well).
When the 2007 versions of office came out- they were damn hard to climb the learning curve (about 5-7 months to get back full productivity and some of my 2003 documents became unprintable-- which I solved by moving them to openoffice).
Munich had a real hairball. At the end of the move, their systems will be much cleaner. And they won't have to rebuy the same software 10 more times over the next 30 years (if the current track record holds).

And this will be even more true next year as many in the custom software field leave the state and/or stop doing business there.

The U.S. is basically socialist.
I'm more concerned with the world class inferiority/racial superiority complex that the chinese have going as a culture.
A chip on their shoulder from being beaten up several times combined with a really large sense of racial destiny.
Best thing that could happen to them is a lot of immigrants and a lot of interracial marriages.
That's going to take time.
Given how much debt they've taken on keeping the Yuan down and their real estate markets going, I think they are riding the tiger.
While I do not entirely buy anthrocentric global warming... this site reduced my belief in helio centric global warming a bit.
http://www.skepticalscience.com/solar-activity-sunspots-global-warming.htm
I'm still deciding whether i think the site is biased or not.
However, the solar activity page shows the solar output has dropped since 1980.
And the mars page addresses martian warming. This particular page feels a bit more like an argument than a statement of facts but it's a reasonable argument.
http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-on-mars.htm
So keep your own skeptical blinders on- but give the site a look.
Everyone is different. As long as both of you are happy, then more power to you!
I have to say, you are incredibly american to paint all americans with the same brush too.
It's just ironic.. that's all.

so this would be wonderful.
Bursitis in right thumb, carpal tunnel both hands. nerve damage from chemo.
I can type- but it's like level "2" (of 10) pain, every keystroke.
I looked into the NIA and have used voice software.
Well besides confirming that I'm old-- since pam is younger than I am... I decided I'd go check out what she actually looks like these days.
http://www.pamelazone.com/pictures/displayimage.php?album=286&pos=5 (note: I don't know about the entire site, but this set is completely work safe).

80% of people will give someone what they believe to be a lethal shock (despite the person begging them to stop) with slight prompting.
So I'd say 80% of people are ready to be psychopaths-- they just lack the opportunity.
(sources are the original study and the recent french TV program that duplicated it).

So what is a good search engine these days with a more unfiltered internet?

Oh! I like that one.
However, being cheeky will get you in trouble very quickly so be careful. Judges are usually little tin martinets who demand absolute respect or they'll stick it up your ass.
It was accepted by the court systems as obvious for over 100 years. They didn't see the need to write it in.
Just like they didn't see the need to write in a prohibition on taking your property and giving it to developers for increased tax revenues.
The reason a jury of your peers is involved is so they can refused to return a guilty plea if they think the crime wasn't committed, was justified, or the law is bogus.

Don't argue jury nullfication in the jury room and do not tell any other juror you believe it . Simply say, "not guilty- not convinced- not sure- but not guilty".
This is why we have jury nullification and why the correct answer to "Do you believe in jury nullfication?" is "no, I do not".
Lol. Modded down but served it's purpose. The parent post was modded back up.
Which also means faster/easier projects.

It's also still legal to record songs off of the radio.
