I don't think you really understood the meaning of responsibility there. If you don't want to be held accountable for doing something, then don't do it. That doesn't somehow translate to doing it in 'private' with the assumption that private means that nobody knows about it.
Does the same logic apply to things like being gay? "Hey, if you don't want to face the college-admissions consequences, you shouldn't have done it!"
The problem is whether a beer is legitimately objectionable or not.
My position is that dynamic DNS services have nothing to do with phishing and scamming. Since either way, the URL is phony, there's not much practical difference between running a fake hotmail site at http://h0tm4il.mine.ru/ rather than at http://24.64.197.48./ There aren't many people out there who would be fooled by one but not the other.
All you're doing is taking "change", like what is implicit when we talk about time, and reinterpreting it from a variable to a locus of its values over its entire domain.
There's a neat bit in Godel, Escher, Bach that illustrates this concept nicely, where he's got a picture of a dragon, which is cut up and folded into a 3d thing, and then a photo is taken of that 3d thing, and that photo is in turn cut and folded.
But in order for "time travel" to take place, all you need is a loop-de-loop shaped world-line. That world-line doesn't need to "move" in any meta-time sense.
Actually, the quote about time spent with a pretty girl compared to sitting on a hot stove was the sound of Einstein resigning himself to international fame and celebrity, despite the fact that none of his fans actually understood any of his accomplishments.
AC, I don't understand your use of the word "move" in the context of a spacetime object. When looking at Einstein's block universe, all "time travel" means is that a particular world-line is not a monoparametric function of t.
Fair enough. My position is more or less as you characterized it; allow Teh Geys to serve, and any straights who can't deal with them may ask their COs for reassignment.
I do take issue with the "not wanting to share quarters with people who are sexually attracted to you" bit though. If they're adults, they can put sexual tension aside and do their jobs. And if their worst nightmares come true and they receive an unwelcome sexual advance (perish the thought!), then there are already channels to deal with sexual harassment.
Do any all-female divisions exist in the US Forces for this reason? The "OMG, a guy might be checking me out without my knowledge!" issue isn't just faced by men, after all.:)
Or is "ability to work alongside gays without getting weirded out" just a more important BFOQ that has gone untested-for in previous recruiting efforts?
If allowing gays to serve causes a loss of morale among straights, then I'd call that a failure of straights to do their jobs.

That's what she said!
In the mean time, don't try to deny people the right to decide what is best for their own community and family.
Strike me down, but isn't that exactly what Palin's accused of?
Evince works flawlessly for me.
But they can argue about just how illegal it is.
I drank a beer once when I was seventeen. All it takes is one to make you worthless.
Now I'm eating a steady diet of government cheese AND LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
Breaking the law reflects negatively on you? ...Have you read laws?
Every time?

Troll!?
Seriously?
Broadband over power is already terrible, and it will only get worse as more and more people plug devices in.
Y'know those little filter plugs the DSL company gives you for your analog phones? Imagine doing the same to every AC-powered load in your house.

What follows is at least 4 pagefuls of shitty car metaphors.

They're "just following hors d'oeuvres."

Just wait 8 hours. It's also a time excreter.

Only on /. could you be modded Insightful for citing Time Cube.

Okay. But is "not gay" really a BFOQ?
Or is "ability to work alongside gays without getting weirded out" just a more important BFOQ that has gone untested-for in previous recruiting efforts?

Um.
How can an ideographic language have "spelling"?
I sprayed root beer.
Thanks for that.
So why am I still working a 40 hour week?
2 girls?
If this were that kind of forum, I would post a picture of Pedobear here.
