Wow - you saw how much trouble this kid is in for refreshing his school's website, now you're trying to Snail-Slash the Stark county jail? You're brave!
Not sure when Thompson called Lowenstein Hitler explicitly, but, from his reponse to NIMF here, he has this:
Liberals, like you, love to label things and then think that the labeling has accomplished something. If that had been the case, then Churchill's calling Hitler a Nazi would have ended the war. But no, people like me had to get into the trenches and stop the Nazis. And there were always those tut-tutting back home about what a nasty business it is to stop the bad people, and can't we all just "get along."
...which does so sort of indirectly I guess. The far more disturbing thing to me is that he compares himself to people like our fathers and grandfathers who actually fought against Germany in WWII. He does not have that kind of honor and dignity.
Actually, like most of the people I know, I look at the news in the morning just about everyday.
And I might not have pointed out that it was 8 days ago if Slashdot wasn't "News for Nerds..." There's just something about that word... oh yeah, it's the "New" part!
It looks like what the RIAA provided was just a list of file names that the defendant had available for downloading. However, this does not show that any files ever were actually transfered.
According to TFA, prior cases have shown that for a copyright to be infringed, a specific instance (or instances) of infringement must be shown. For example: "On the [day] of [month] at [time], the file [filename] was transfered from [defendant] to [recipient] by means of [transport medium]. The file in question is [of some relation] to our copyrighted work: [copyrighted work with copyright information].
At least, that's my take on it. (IANAL)
I've done exactly this several times actually. I have a Linux system with some spare space and want to use that space for games. So, take that extra partition and install Windows on it. No big deal, just make sure you can boot back into your Linux install via a boot disk or live-cd, since Windows will always overwrite the MBR. Windows (currently) does not refuse to install becuase you have a non-NTFS/FAT partition in your system.
It's easier to do it the other way around of course, but that only works if you are setting up a fresh system (and then I usually do the partitioning in a Linux environment first anyways).
I've recently discovered the Trustudio platform. I don't really like programming in PHP, but it's great for Python. If the PHP support is anywhere near as good as the Python support, it should do whatever you need.
I can't believe I'm writing a reply to a story about grammar...
That said, I don't understand your examples.
The first is obviously incorrect as written. It is either: 1) a spelling error, or 2) incomplete. Either way, it is incorrect in any written context.
The second is merely incomplete. As speakers we may use the language as you describe (for example, "Bob is going to the store. I want to go with."), but that hardly makes it correct; knowing the context merely allows us to infer the missing "you" in the sentence.
So, honestly, although I understand your intentions (to show that prescriptive grammar is not always a requirement for communication and understanding), I would be troubled by any grammar checker that didn't at least highlight instances of these examples for further review.
Interestingly enough, I recently decided to do exactly this with my personal homepage. I was tired of trying to get my fully CSS-compliant page to render correctly in both IE and Firefox. It looks great in Firefox (IMHO), but nothing is in the right spot at all in IE.
So, when the site is done, it will point IE users to mozilla.org, and allow them very little (if any) content. OTOH, I don't make a living off my website. In fact, it's really only visited by a small set of friends and family.:shrug:
The blur is an admission that even the 'Ken and Barbie' features should not be displayed
How many teens haven't seen a naked doll at one point or another? I don't think my sister nor myself were particularly harmed by her inability to keep her toys clothed.
Interesting. Crazy (IMHO), but interesting. I had never heard of VHEMT before, so thanks for the link.
As far as seeing differences between "true" Christianity, and the Christianity practiced by most people goes, obviously you are right. I know of very few Christians who would claim that they are the "Perfect Christian" - if they did, they would be wrong (there was only one "Perfect" human anything).
The difference is that Christianity also doesn't expect perfect Christians. It calls for us to work towards perfection, but we will never make it, and God knows that. That's where the whole deal of forgiveness comes in.
If you are really interested in looking at what Christianity actually is, I again suggest Mere Christianity. Lewis wrote it to tackle almost exactly these issues. It's not a book on particular doctrines within the church or among denominations, it's a book that aims to get to the essence of Christianity; and it does a really good job of that.
As for your personal sympathies, while I don't think that voluntary extinction is a great idea, I do agree that as a race, we've done a poor job of fulfilling our role as stewards of Creation.
Anyways, send me an email if I can answer any particular questions, and I'll do my best to provide an answer.
I think you have a severe misunderstanding of the role of sex in the Christian life. Go pick up a copy of C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity (most bookstores will have it), and read it. That should clear up a lot of the misunderstanding you seem to have about the issue.

Flamethrowers are noisy! Now chloroform-soaked rags readily available to deal with cell phone talkers - there's an idea!
In all seriousness, I don't understand earlier.

Is that "OOPS, I can't spell kernel?" ;)

This was cool when I read it on October 4th on Hackaday...
Ah, but if you manage to get it on to a server owned by your former employer, and then post to Slashdot...
Both of you need to watch the Firefly series. That should fill in your missing information.
I mean, think of the irony! They would never be able to live it down!

But I'm still addicted.

Anyone else find this just a little ironic?

Ricockulous.
