I could be wrong, but I THINK the 'lie' referenced here is needing that bandwith for the VOIP, not the fact of the traffic is being shaped. The necessity of that shaping is the questionable part ("the lie").
More like "regardless which approach the parents take, the child will find something with which to disagree with and rebel against, making them 'different then their parents'".
GI Joe literally, even then, fell me with amusement....
A Joe would stroll up, tell some kids to get out of the water because of a tstrom. Kids come out, lightening hits the water "and now we know...and knowing is half the battle". Endorsed by the Children Saftey thingy....
..then it's Joes versus Cobra in the water during a storm, a sneeze sends a rocket flying, a pillar in an unstable building topples down on a Joe... rather unsafe? Mixed Messages?:D
Anyways what I'd have wanted from the show was casualties. For all the fighting, for all the weaponry, I only remember two injuries whatsoever: Shipwreck getting amnesia in an accident, and in the movie a Joe going into a coma. At least transformers took hits and some even became "One with the Matrix". That total absence of risk or plot made me prefer what little anime was on television at time.
The Armitage one...hurt. Very much so. It's been years, but if memory serves, he sounded like he overdosed on valium and was suffering severe depression. Wooden monotone all the way.
Consumers don't have the same risk/reward ratio as people who sit on top of rockets for a living.
Who in turn don't have the same risk/reward ratio of those who get strapped to the sides of a rocket.
Myeh, personal views on the need to redesign our approach to space (i.e. get a new class of ship) aside, I'm hoping for a boring trip and landing for the shuttle.
Well..unless it's a wierd game, you start off tied at 0.
So technically is IS a comeback, up until you match the other team's score.
Along the lines of: "And Team Y was was leading 3-1, but in a surprise comeback, X scored twice late in the third period, then went on to win it 4-3 in the overtime"
I don't want to just hear "yes" if that's not the truth.
Why do they for some reason thing we're going to punish them? They seem to believe we're trying to lay blame and that's why the questions, and refuse to accept it's just trying to reconstruct what might have triggered it.
I feel more like a prosecuting attorney then IT sometimes...
"So what were you doing when it crashed?"
"Nothing, I never touched anything. It just crashed."
"So you just walked in and it was crashed already?"
"Yes..well, not right away no."
"So you were walking past and the system just totally locked up?"
"Not totally...I could still check my email."
"I thought you didn't touch anything?"
"Well..I checked my email. But then MSN locked up."
"MSN?"
"Yeah, friend just had sent me this neat screensaver..."
Wish they'd realise the run-around is more annoying then what they actually did (usually).
I don't own stock and I'm not paid to care, just to fix and maintain.
Wellll....
7 is heavenly perfection, and July is the 7th month.
4 is earthly perfection, and it's the 4th day.
..but that isn't the connection he was going for I think. The connection would be God giving the Americans a bloody nose on the day that is their nation's pride day. The significance of it wouldn't be the religious properties of the day, but the secular one.
Trouble is for some, the options are:
-Shitpatico DSL
-Shitpatico Slowspeed
-Mom & Pop Slowspeed
-Sat Net
-No Net
-Moving
That's the wonderful disadvantage of Canadien population density...not much room for competition in the more rural areas. I'd gladly leave them for compariable speed.
The irony is they (Sympatico) didn't even realise they offered DSL in my area until someone fixing the buildings lines wondered at the 56.6 modems. Took ages fighting through their diservice people to get them to verify for themselves it was indeed available. Not forseeing any alternative provider for us in the near future.:(
I wouldn't put it as immoral, I'd call it cowardly. "Lacking the courage of their convictions".
To my sibling poster, I'd consider the fear of losing fans to be being two-faced then in addition to cowardice.
Personally, I only use anonymous for the reformat reason so i can't gain/lose twice for the same statement. Of course the irony to this is that I could very well be lying and post AC all the time and you'd never know it. =P

It's a way to post without your post affecting your karma. Undoubtably there are more reasons to post AC, but those were the first three that came to mind for me.
That's a big BS. Maybe Wordpad. But paint; people use that sometimes. I personally use Notepad all the freaking time.* So do many people I know. I'll occasionally play Solitare and Minesweeper. I'm pretty sure some people use Outlook.
Backing you up a little...
Notepad is my quick and dirty editor for html, xml, ini files and other text readable files. I use it to make tiny text files on the desktop for jotsheets of reminders and things. I use it when on the phone to copy down information. I use it to proof posts to forums before submitting.
Paint...has a devout following for some forsaken reason. People seem to enjoy the crude drawing they create in Paint and use them for avatars or signature files on some forums. While it is hardly used for a professional purpose, it does get used.
Some friends of mine have their parents utterly addicted to solitare. I myself load up minesweeper at work, since I have frequent 1 minute breaks while we're broadcasting, and a more complicated game just wouldn't work
Unfortunately I know many people who use Wormhole Express and enjoy being able to get their hotmail accounts easily through it. I try to get them onto other email clients but generally they drift back.
Slashdot Mirror
He's pulling your chain. The book he linked was Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer's friend :P

Nah, the logic is proper:
Situation A exists
Utilise Situation A to your advantage
The morality of Situation A isn't really relevant to his post.

Altho Zarana was hot...
*cue Indiana Jones music

Reminds me of the anime Planetes. Has a rather interesting (IMO) take on what could happen, especially with a corporate space culture.

No way. I used the same line on my mother for the exact same reasoning...she was convinced it would be a block of scrap if she clicked the wrong icon.
Sure enough she did screw it up with a virus and such eventually, which brought the chance for our first 'let's format and reinstall the OS' session.
Now (3 years later) she installs her own hardware and tinkers in the registry.
Honestly isn't that how most of us learned computers, tinkering around until we screwed up, then learning even more when we fixed it?
AHA! But 6 is IMPERFECTION! So..it's about bringing earthly perfection to sinners!!!
:D
You can string a connection between anything if you want to go silly enough
Wellll....

As the phrase goes..."the silence was deafening".
With all the electricity requiring items around, power failures and power resumptions wake me.

"It looks like you're trying to shoot someone in the chest.
Would you like me to:
Fire a bullet
Order more bullets
Call 911
Suggest better body parts to shoot?
[]Don't show me this tip again"
Hmm..you know, it actually might cut down on gun crime afterall...
Wish I could store this humidity offsite. :P
"I tell ya, it ain't the heat.... "
aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd since they are idol singers, you already have planned obsolescence built in!! :D
:P
It's like perpetual motion only real
I think you're meaning corporal punishment? Capital punishment tends to be a little extreme, but corporal punishment just might work.
At the very least you could air it and get revenue...pretty sure a Pay-per-view caning of Bill Gates would garner a large audience.
While the toys change, human nature hasn't. More permanent then a mountain, human idiocy endures.
If you need a comparison, check all the 1984 references then...it's even older but still apt.
I'd like to consider this funny and laugh...
...but it's more apt then satire...Monty Python *does* describe our goverment.
Either way, damn you...I've that skit continuing on in my head.
On second thought, let's not go to Parliment. It is a silly place.
