Everything my kids own are sticky and beat to hell. It took me long enough to teach them not to even *look* at daddy's laptop, without giving them an expensive tablet of their own.
When dealing with politics, never infer anything (that's what they want you to do). You see, they didn't actually PROMISE any such thing. A cabinet agency expressed a DESIRE to favor open source, and RECOMMENDED that government departments favor it. All of which amounts to a big ol' pile of jackshit.
Exactly. If they don't protect the name "Atari" from being used by these sites, there's a chance that someone under the age of 30 might actually learn what "Atari" is.
Ha, the San Francisco Police Department WISHES they were as powerful as Apple security. Half the security guys at Apple have licenses to kill, and a pretty good portion of them are ninjas.
I don't care how free you are, you Canuck bastards, do you have any idea how many b-rated movies have had to settle for Tom Sizemore and other lesser-known actors since the war? Do you even feel GUILTY? Billy had kids, man!
this is the first time the world has a sufficiently-large dataset to find out just what percentage of cops are professionals
That's actually an interesting idea. I wonder what the ethical implications would be if a university researcher proposed this. I know there are pretty serious restrictions on using human subjects in research. I wonder if using illegaly-obtained data, even if widely publicly available, would be disallowed. Probably would, but still could be interesting for someone doing private research.
People who are really intelligent know to evaluate based on content, not form. Grammar nazi's, by contrast, are just autistics who've managed to find a dictionary.
I've been using Netflix streaming since it came out, and I hated seeing the Starz label on anything (it got to where I wouldn't put anything from them in my Queue). Why? Because none of their stuff was in HD and all their prints were for shit. That's all fine if you're watching Netflix streaming on your old 4:3 Philco, but their stuff looked like shit on HDTV or a decent computer monitor. So, while I hate losing ANY content on the great Netflix streaming service, I can't say I'll be too heartbroken to see that it's Starz.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch the first season of Louie and the entire run of Battlestar Galactica, both in HD, on my $7 a month service that people complain is overpriced.
Not for racism, bigotry, their general unprofessionalism, etc. I mean, that's kind of a given for local-level Texas cops. No, they should be for the epic level of stupidity they showed in actually *writing all that down* and *sending it in emails*.
Anyone *that* stupid probably shouldn't be trusted to operate the fry machine at McDonalds, much less be in charge of investigating crimes.
I've had some pretty dumb friends over the years who ended up becoming cops (we're talking 2+2=5 dumb), but even they knew better than to BROADCAST their incompetence for the record. I just wonder how some of these departments are supposed to collect DNA evidence when half their force thinks DNA is a rap group from the 80's. Not that every Texas cop can be Sam Deeds from Lonestar, but geez.
It's sad that posts like this, that *dare* to question the mantra that solar are wind are going to SAVE THE WORLD!!!, are inevitably modded flamebait and troll. This is supposed to be a place where smart people engage in reasoned debate. Most often, it's more like a place where immature jackoffs engage in/. groupthink and petty sniping of anyone who dares question the consensus.
Actually, the government actually does subsidize farmers for crops lost during cold weather (and other bad weather), to the tune of about $1.7 billion a year.
He made no attempt to fight the charges, so either he was guilty of that, or something worse that they held over his head and threatened to expose him for if he didn't resign
Or he realized that giving up was the quickest, easiest way out. Not everyone can be the big hero who takes on the government.

Well if you really want it to last, why not just use embossed lettering on a stone or metal medium?

This is Apple we're talking about. No one will do shit about it.
And I'm being serious in that part.
Their trademark

Substitute "blackout" for "sleeping" and "fighting" for "painting" and he and I are totally in the same shoes.
take my red swingline stapler...going to burn the building down...
I can surf the web AND still look at myself?!?!? Shit, that will sell *really* well in L.A.
You must be so much fun at parties.

If I'm black or Muslim in Friendswood, Texas, I might be better off just calling a friend with a gun.

So their, put *that* in you're pipe and smoke it.
Everytime I saw the Starz label, I cringed. They should have just changed to it "No HD."

No, I'm saying that someone who doesn't believe in something enough to support it unless everyone else is forced to as well is a selfish fool.
It was modded Troll when I posted that.

How dare you talk about physics in a debate where we should all be concentrating on thinking of the children!

So you only believe in it if other people are FORCED to pay for your dream too?
My grandkids are going to be too busy trying to pay back the crippling National Debt that I stuck them with to give a shit about my solar investments.
