Well they must be getting smarter, they surely can't possibly get any dumber. Being against a public option yet if you try to take away their medicare there'll be hell to pay. I wonder how it is that the stupid seem to often outlive the intelligent.
Winnipeg would be perfect. Google should build a server farm so big it would produce so much heat that the snow in the city would melt, forcing them to open up the floodway in the winter.
Bart: Yo, Dr. S: have you seen Milhouse today? Dr. S: No. Bart: OK, thanks. Dr. S: Wait: did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it. Bart: I will. Dr. S: No you won't.
interesting device. It'd be nice if they sold something like a motherboard that was just the software and video output. I've got an empty NES case sitting here, and while I could put an atom motherboard in it, it'd be neat to plug in a usb gamepad and an SD card slot into such a motherboard.
that said, the "dingoo" seems to offer a mini usb plug. I wonder.. would it be possible to plug in a regular usb hub into that port and then use it with a usb controller or two?
I was attempting to use a Nintendo Wii controller with a NES emulator under ubuntu the other day.. mednafen.. but I got frustrated and put it on hold for a bit. linux recognizes it alright, but mednafen is looking for something in/dev/input/js*, and the wiimote is of course a bluetooth device.
mednafen is the only nes emulator I tried that ran mario adventure, a hacked SMB3 rom with new levels so thats why I didn't just try a different emulator.
Freecycle is crap because they're all clogged with people begging for free stuff and not enough people just giving away free crap.
I don't care if you need a giant statue of elvis, even if I have 3. I'm not giving it to you because you annoy me. There should be a separate group for those people.
you can usually turn off the wireless on most wireless routers and just use it as a regular old wired router, if it comes to that. but other than that, im sure you can donate it to the goodwill. I love goodwill. I got me a Samsung HT-XQ100 with digital optical in and a center speaker bar for $13 the other day and it works great for decoding digital audio from my WDTV box.. the only thing that didn't work was the DVD player doesn't load CD's or DVD's.. oh well, already got a DVD player anyways.. also got a famiclone for $1.50, whee... I don't need an 802.11b router, but there must be someone out there who could either use one of might enjoy hacking one to death.
However, weren't all insects ridiculously large back then as compared to now? Or am I wrong to base my knowledge of prehistoric times off of time machine chose your own adventure books.
Sure, and I can bicycle all over the place instead of using a gas consuming vehicle. But I wont, because I'm not a dirty hippie vegan.
vegetarianism is also a want and not a need. You don't need to solely massacre plant life to subsist on this planet. It is a choice made by people who hate plants.
At least us omnivores aren't hypocrites. We eat whatever we can. When the triffids or Krynoids come at you for revenge, they will leave us alone as at the very least we weren't racist solely against botanic life.
As a point of information, humans don't need protein (or anything else) from meat or even other animal products. Plenty of people live on an entirely plant-based diet, usually more healthily than their omnivorous neighbors. Even if you also skip dairy and eggs the only thing you're missing is vitamin B12, but you only need tiny amounts of that, and it's gleaned from plant-based sources and added to most multivitamins and to things like soymilk.
So you can say you WANT to eat meat, but you cannot truthfully say that you NEED it.
this has been shown to be untrue, and is in fact disinformation spread by vegans.
On the other side are the fur hunters, who have never been in it for anything but the commercial gain.
and yet it is as much tradition for them as the inuit. don't be naive about it either, the inuit also gain commercially, and trying to discriminate against one side still shuts down the inuit at the same time.
I suppose when you are sitting far away in a comfortable sofa, it is open for discussion whether it is cruel to club an animal over the head and flay it alive; personally I find it disgusting. This is not so much a question about seal numbers in my view, but one about what kind of people we want to be. It is basically the same question when we ask "Why is it not OK to torture a suspect?" or "Why is it wrong to rape, murder, steal...?". Why is it not OK to keep ten thousand cows crammed together in a milk factory? Or play football with a living chicken? Or crucify a cat just to show your mates how tough you are?
People like you always roll out the one about "numbers are surging and they are damaging..." - yeah, right. What that means is simply that it hurts somebody's profits. This has been the excuse over and over, and it is still as hollow as always. I am willing to listen to sensible arguments - are you willing to listen to reasonable criticism?
Of course. I respect your right to your view and if you practice what you preach and don't benefit from or eat meat, well good for you. I don't equate cramming cows together in a milk factory to rape, though in a perfect world It'd be nice if it weren't necessary. However the world we live in isn't sunshine and rainbows and unfortunately we have to eat to live, and as I don't have a taste for Soylent Green but rather a taste for beef or chicken, then that is the way it is.
Certainly playing football with a living chicken or crucifying a cat are reprehensible actions, we are intelligent enough beings to understand that, however that does not equate to making killing animals for sustinance evil in the same way. There are, unfortunately, necessary evils in this world. Abortion, Euthenasia, Shooting old yeller dogs/wildlife management, farming, and allowing Steve Jobs to create the iPad. You'll never eliminate them until some solution is found to their inherent problems.
Fact of the matter is you can say its all about Capitalism, but the Canadian government shut down the entire atlantic fishery despite the protests of fisherman and corporate interests, so they certainly have at least a track record of worrying about sustainability. Sure you can bleat that they fished the atlantic into near extinction, but those were different times where people believed the fish would not and could not ever run out. (then again, today isn't that far removed from yesterday)
But all the same, nobody would give a damn about the Seal hunt if Seals looked like cockroaches.
Those filthy rich PETA barons are buying up everything!
They could if they wanted to. They certainly make more money off of the fur industry than the trappers.
Maybe they'll be willing to trade their seal hunting for indoor plumbing and a life expectancy past 40. Not everything that's "traditional" is good.
Good or Evil, nobody is getting hurt except seals. They deserve protection why exactly? I can understand if you're an absolutist (and insane) and want to ban all hunting of any animal everywhere. I can understand if the animals are near extinction (ie, bans on whaling or fishing for cod or bluefin) or at least bans on deep sea trawling. But Seals are not endangered, they are also not human beings, therefore there is no moral reason not to let the hunt continue as it traditionally has.

yeaaaaah!
They are real. Isn't that enough of a reason to live there?
Like arguments with women?
How seriously did Ford take you when you complained that your car still doesn't hover or fly?
NOT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH, Goddamnit!
Yes, pinball at high stakes is very different, but what if you were playing pinball for YOUR LIFE.
now thats high stakes.

So if you get one with HDMI output and bluetooth/USB seems like it'd perhaps make a decent tiny computer for classic video game emulators.
We've got 5 more years, someone at NASA better be working on Mister Fusion. And hovercars.
that is to say, even if I cared one way or another about terminology, I was in fact clearly referring to the kernel itself in my original post.
No, it is Linux. Which I pronounce as leenooks.

I'll probably try again later.

how many monkeys did they test? 12?

Well there goes Bollywood.
watch India get put on an american copyright watch list now.

now a dance number

why? why is that okay? whats the friggin difference?

so.. why are we equating morality to religion?
