Heh, yeah, they're going to work like The Initiative's chip that got put in Spike's head. One bad thought about eating that Spotted Owl . . . Zap! Terrible pain in the head.
Bunnies are just cute like everyone supposes! They've got those hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? What do bunnies need such good eyesight for anyway? Bunnies! Bunnies! It's must be Bunnies!
Yeah, can't get enough of that Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. When the snowman sings Silver and Gold while sliding around and twirling his umbrella. Pure genious!
Believe me when I say I understand your points, but they could probably only be brought up for breaking truth in advertising regulations if one can convince a judge or jury that "acquiring something against the owners wishes without paying for it" is not theft. I understand why people here say it isn't. I'm sort of playing Devil's advocate here not trying to actually argue the RIAAs case. I'm not exactly innocent in this regard. I've been known to make occasional use of a P2P program (for things other than linux distros), but I've pretty much given it up in favor of completely legal media distribution, via rental or library borrowing or even buying (usually used copies). Even though it is copyright infringment and not theft, a person has no right to acquire copyrighted material via a method unsatisfactory to the copyright owner. Personally I've bought just one CD so far in the 21st century so I haven't contributed much to the RIAA. Much of the music I listen to is offered for free. Even though it's not theft, I don't pretend to have a right to just any music out there I don't feel like paying for.
In the same sense that people here stick to VERY strict interpretations of the word "steal" or "theft," one could call you out on your liberal use of the words "rape" and even "butcher." I don't believe from a very strict interpretation, and we must keep our interpretations consistant, that one can either rape or butcher a language. If one is to demand that one not equate copyright infringement with theft, one must refer to that faux pas as "misuse" of the English language. I'm not saying one way or the other that it is, only if you're going to say that copyright infringement can not be equated to theft, then misuse of English certainly can not be equated to rape.
He was being cute and paraphrasing Gandalf from the movie The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring. Gandalf the Grey says this to Sauroman the White when it becomes clear that the head of the wizard's order has abandoned doing what is right in favor of siding with the truly evil Sauron.
ABN AMRO finally acquires Banco Antonveneta after a protracted battle that has the Italian Banking system in turmoil and now this. Good days for the Dutch.
I'm not dutch, but I do work for ABN AMRO.
I'm sure I've heard that the ISS was supposed to have a more equatorial orbit, but when Russia came on board the orbit was tilted to give them easier access to it.
I think there was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that had some vampire cowboys. Or maybe there were just vampire rednecks. I think that was more accurate. They wore cowboy hats at any rate.
Yeah, but who's going to strap on the intelligent arms?
By the way, you're the only one I've seen with the proper reference. Seems once lasers get mentioned, the typical Slashdotter can only think of sharks.
Besides being nearly a verbatum copy of something I've read before, this is really off topic as the announcement had nothing to do with either Quake or Linux on the desktop.
Whatever these PCI changes are, maybe they'll be of interest in the server arena where Linux does have a sizable presence.
This info is a little dated but in 1990 Seattle was the 21st largest "urban place" in the United States. During the early 1990s at least Seattle suffered through something of a population boom, so it may be higher in the ranks.
You may not think 21st largest in the US out of untold thousands of cities, towns and villages qualifies as "big city" but maybe we'll just have to agree to disagree on that.
Heck, I live in Ann Arbor and in Washtenaw County, IT is the big city.
Other than road side service, what "triple A" makes me think of is the highest tier of minor league baseball before the majors. So maybe he means "second rate?"
Just throw a bunch of weeds and other plants up there and see if any adapt and survive? If not, we'll then we've got some organic material to try to plant then next batch in.;-)
Absolutely!
I have to admit to having always believed in an element of ID, in that God had a part in the creation of the Universe etc. but the exact hows of what happened are what we can measure with scientific tools.
I choose to believe that God gives me a "why" to creation, but I also believe that good science discovers the how.
What these zealous fools who try to break down the barrier between their church and the state fail to realize is that they are not giving control of the state to their church, but control of their church to the state.
Religion gets a bad name, not because religions really are all that interested in controlling people, but because the state likes to use it to control people. Mind you it's the people in both religious and political camps who desire to control people who try to form these unholy alliances.

Hello.
This is God.
I'd like to claim 'prior art.'
Heh, yeah, they're going to work like The Initiative's chip that got put in Spike's head. One bad thought about eating that Spotted Owl . . . Zap! Terrible pain in the head.
I've got a theory! It might be Bunnies!
Bunnies are just cute like everyone supposes!
They've got those hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.
And what's with all the carrots?
What do bunnies need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies! Bunnies!
It's must be Bunnies!
Wait, does this mean that all those hairy 40 year old guys who pretend to be 14 year old girls will now pretend to be 18 year old young women?
Yeah, can't get enough of that Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. When the snowman sings Silver and Gold while sliding around and twirling his umbrella. Pure genious!
Womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know, cuz I won't eat the filthy mother f*ckers.

In Ontario the speed limit tends to be about 100km/h on the highways. in Michigan it's a little over 112 km/h (70mph).

So the point is the blind user should hear something.
So, who's the Alizée fan who programmed the night elf to dance like her? ;-)

We tried to switch to Intel, but like, OS X just went boop beep beep. Now that we're with AMD it like, you know. . . works.
Or something like that.
