Your contention is that people will side with Wikileaks if they get caught up in a dragnet approach by the government. Country point: it is at least equally likely that people affected by such a move would side against Wikileaks, blaming Wikileaks for putting them (Johan Six-Herring) in such a position and wish them gone so as to stop inconveniencing everyone else.
Because alcohol was the socially acceptable white people drug, not associated with those inscrutable Chinese railroad workers (opium) or lazy-ass black jazz musicians (refer)/sarcasm . The war on drugs basically started piecemeal as a tactic to take everyone else's fun away and hope they just pack it up and go back home. Then those 'loser' beatniks and hippies started doing them, so the politicians, cops and parents had to step up the offensive.
That's basically it. And now we have Sarah Palin, whose presence is the logical conclusion of that same train of thought.
The original BSG came out in 1978, 6 years before I was born and apparently 4 years before eviljohn. If you thought the remake was a new show, then that just proves the article's point about chucking experience and ending up making the same mistakes. Futurama kicks ass though.
Well, congratulations on being a one-in-a-million. But trust me, its not an isolated world view that's led me to make things up. Hopefully your kids will turn out well, but every person I've met in the real world who was a victim of home schooling turned out really messed up, and I've met at least 100 or so, with extended contact over a matter of days to months with around 10. Not exactly a sample worthy of a scientific study, but enough anecdotal evidence to take off the likelihood of chance.
So, like... did you read the summary and see how this isn't the typical "how can i try and force my jock kid to be a nerd like me?" article? It's about adding to a school curriculum. Not sure writing WoW scripts in Lua to mine gold is what they have in mind.
Every home schooled person I've ever met was home schooled because their parents believed that water fluoridation was a UN plot and that gubmint education was something satanic. They had incredibly poor social skills, very little idea how to interact with people of the opposite sex, and a slew of really weird beliefs. And you know what, that's why people think home schooled kids are weird, NOT because they can communicate in adult conversations.
I'll agree that public educations is pretty messed up, but for every health-food-eating water-drinker in home schooling, I've met 5 people who would not need any incentive to join a militia.
And frankly, all the "independent thought and initiative" in the world isn't going to amount to a hill of beans in the work place compared to knowing when it is and is not OK to go pee. Sucks, but that's the world we live in.
Bill Gates dropped out of his expensive and prestigious university. Of course, he already had trust fund money from his rich lawyer fore bearers, so its not as if he was going to be destitute if that whole computer thing didn't work out. But then again, we here tend to work in an industry that commonly lists "BS in CS, EE or related field, or equivalent experience". Self learning and a fully-stocked lab, perhaps at a local hacker space, and the smart people can get that equivalent experience whether they have the money for college or not. Of course, the ones that are that smart can generally obtain merit and/or aid scholarships and get into college anyway.
If he were to glue the battery cover on, how's he going to change the batteries? I used to break the snaps off the battery covers all the time... started just using electrical tape. Fixed a TI-85, TI-86 and 3 TI-83s that way. I've had my TI-89 since 2000 or 2001 (got it some time in 11th grade, forget which half), but so far have avoided breaking anything on it. I might replace it with an HP50G soon just on general principles though.
Maybe he has some other licensing agreement with Microsoft, seeing as he was a co-founder, the guy that actually wrote their first product (Altair BASIC), and is still (presumably) good friends with likes of Gates and Balmer? Not suing Microsoft might be a result of them not "infringing" in the sense of using without consent.
Basically... Real Virginia stops at Fredericksburg and Occupied Territory begins in Manassas, with Spotsylvania County serving as a DMZ. Of course, Hampton Roads isn't that much more pleasant, but I couldn't find work in Richmond that would pay enough.
Yeah, I caught the typo too late. I moved far and away, back to Real Virginia from Alexandria about the time I quit giving a shit about politics and got back into IT. No plans to go, but by dad is going. Apparently so is my uncle, who is coming out from Chicago... even though I was pretty sure he's a Dem. I dunno. Fuck it.
Real Americans know the public parking garage under the city buildings on North Highland Street, about 2 blocks from the Clarendon metro stop are free on on weekends, and then its only like 4 or 5 stops on the orange line till you're at Smithsonian. Parking in D.C. is impossible, you're likely to get a ticket for being 30 seconds past a meter, and they have a tendency to tow you onto the side walk. People who don't know that they do that then think you're a dick and got the ticket for parking on the sidewalk and then you get stared down while trying to get back onto the road.
I'd suspect that this sort of thing would work/better/ on Democrats than Republicans, being how Democrats are younger, hipper, and more apt to use Google where as most Republicans probably have a paper map of DC around somewhere. It's a capstone monument on the national mall. All roads lead to Independence and Constitution. It's only a few blocks from the friggin' FDR memorial anyway -- and its not even real blocks. You can see one from the other.
This is just incompetence magnified by douche-baggery and wordpress.
The criminals and terrorists are probably already doing that. The corporate businessman might be. The casual user most likely just assumes RIM is taking care of it and doesn't worry, and its them that's going to get shafted by number 2, allegedly in the course of fighting number 1.
You'd think that if anyone were going to know better than to accept an invitation from a dethroned Nigerian prince to join him on a luxury vacation in the exotic east, it would be these guys...:-/
Or, like how Apple made such an effort to have Mac OS X look and feel like Windows, they hyped that as a sell-point in their switch campaign... or not.
I know you'll just make some remark about how snobby Apple users are, but honestly I think that attempting to emulate the user experience of another product beyond instances where form follows function is just asinine. It lulls people into a false sense of security, and then when things don't work the way they expect, then all of a sudden its "X's fault that it doesn't do Y like Z," rather than "X isn't Z, so Y probably works differently."
It's not about being a snob. It's about acknowledging reality. But then again, I don't really have any political Free Software motivations and don't give a crap if people use Linux or not. I barely use Linux, but when I do, I'm not going to spend my time trying to make it look like Windows. Why bother?
The Colt 1911 Govt model is usually referred to as a "single-action automatic". It is chambered for.45ACP, the ACP being "Automatic Colt Pistol". It's the traditional term associated with this weapon.

Oh, that should have read contrary point, not country point. doh.
A touchy-feely hippie ultra-authoritarian regime that prevents rape, gang fights, and drug dealing while providing education and therapy.
Yeah, I sort of wish I could go to Cuba, too... :-/
It protects against the threat of being square! Consider it Apple Care for your Colo.

Trying to take that a bit literally, are we?
fp?

Like Buck Rogers, only sort of entertaining.

Get off the Metro at Smithsonian. You're probably facing the Capital. Turn the fuck around and go straight.

Really? Because the A1 was a select-fire rifle with safe-semi-full modes. The A2 has safe-semi-burst modes, where one trigger pull fires 3 rounds.
