A valid pointabout dress codes but you dismiss the other side of it: when you have a dress code you don't have kids focusing on what Sally wore today or how little Jonny can't even afford a pair of pants that isn't five years out of style. Fashion is but thecsmallest part of self expression - and if you've ever seen kidswearing school uniforms, you know that even wearing the same clothes doesn't prevent creative ways of wearing them.
I would argue not that it stifles self-expression - of which clothing is but one small part - but that it allows for self-expression less on the basis of the income of one's family and more on the basis of the individual.
I agree that ads aren't the problem, but also don't think it's formatting. It's rather simple for me: everyone runs off of an ad network. That means every ad I let through amounts to somebody, somewhere profiling my browsing habits.
Return to the days of ads that are hosted with the content provider, that don't run javascript and don't run flash - and I'll return to allowing them in my browser.
I understanding what you're saying, I just think it's crap.
I think a lot of people have tried to make this a safety issue, when realistically we're (probably) reasonably safe if you're not flying every day - and maybe even then.
But for some reason, enough people like you have distracted the issue - the point where if they do manage to conclusively prove its safety, there's no longer a leg to stand on.
It's not a safety issue. It's not about people being ashamed of their bodies and wanting to hide them. It's about how it's not ok to foster a culture of fear in the name of security.
Given the wording of the link, I thought it would take us to the actual post and comments in question. Instead I was tricked into visiting slashcloud. That's almost as bad as a rickrolling.
There was this thing once. I can't remember the right words for it, but it worked kind of like this:
- companies maintained an online presense - people who wanted notifications from those companies would submit some kind of identifying information - like a unique address that was a good way to reach them online. - companies would send out notifications to those unique addresses, in accordance with people's wishes.
Man, those days must have been *hard* - imagine, having to send a message to each of those million people individually! Oh, no - wait, I seem to recall that it could be done in bulk, at a cost that was marginal-to-nonexistent.
Well anyway, still - keeping a list of those people must be *hard*. Thank goodness we have Facebook! Now we can "reach" a random subset of those people interested in our communications for only a small premium of several thousand dollars each time!
Heh, that's more or less exactly my experience. And has also stopped me from meditating very effectively. It becomes almost an between the first and second (lower) voice. Feels like if I could stop the second voice I could stop the first voice, but then I realize that thought itself came from the second voice, then I realize THAT thought also started there, then AAAARG skip it!
When I was studying Linguistics many, many years ago, it was pointed out to me that we shape entire sentences in our brain before we become aware of them and before we speak the words. T
If you ever want to drive yourself moderately crazy, listen to your thoughts some time. You'll notice that you seem to think each thing twice - once in a kind of background precursor thought, then again right on top if it in the foreground.
Or maybe I've just spent too much time listening, as it were, to the voices in my head.
a) When or where did I state that I believed in god? b) if you consider the book to be allegorical, or even if you take a slightly more literal interpretation on the basis that one day to a god is not a day to a mortal , such differences can quite easily be reconciled.
But hey, continue telling yourself you're superior for not believing in the fantasy man in the sky. The majority of the rest of us will go on functioning, while somehow managing to survive without feeling compelled to tear down the belief systems of others - even if we don't share those particular belief systems.
In and out, no problems. But the elderly lady who was there to assist me(?) was crowding me outside of the booth - just stepped inside my personal space while she was prepping/resetting the booth. It was kind of weird.
Also the fact that they would stop and applaud random voters as they left the booth was really strange.
Is the terminal parsing done server-side? That is, the client is served HTML to make things look right, but all of the vt10x escape codes are parsed on the server?

Unfortunately this will get modded down, but it's true. Having a debate amongst candidates who will never get elected is just an exercise in mental masturbation. Focus needs to be on how to get these candidates electable - how to show most Americans that it does not *have* to be a two-party system.

Gee, nobody has said anything like that before - some truly original stuff here!

You're cute, with your attempts to ascribe rational motivations to an unruly group of monkeys.
There is a difference to you. I hope you see that.
It's often all about perspective. Not many people will have their minds changed about something they deeply believe - no matter how logically correct the arguments against it are.
That means to them repeated and persistent attempts to tell them they are wrong (however logically) are just as offensive as their attempts to tell you that you are wrong (however illogically).

It's also what made space transportation so very "practical and safe", as exemplified by Challenger and Columbia.
On the other hand - if you look at fatalities per mile traveled - space travel is the safest mode of travel there is.
What? Airlines use that math all the time, so it *must* be valid!
With this kind of early cross over between tech and medicine it's unavoidable to think you could do without a single upgrade.

Oh yeah, this is my first election! Newish American citizen - proud to exercise my right to vote
Congrats and thanks for taking the time to both research and vote :)

You can also tell if someone is home through unencrypted lightbulb signals through windows.
Maybe at your house.
At my house we always encrypt our light bulb emissions. Always.

I can't believe I didn't see this before.
Five.
Even frozen, no more than a year. Eat them before then, certainly before 5 years go by. Otherwise you might get sick.
Ulch! That meat was tainted!
Indeed it does.
I find that they start to stink after about a week. They last a little longer if refrigerated, but they aren't as productive.
YMMV.

It's a problem for too-big businesses such as Amazon that have "nexuses" of business all over the place; screw them, companies shouldn't be that big.
An interesting sentiment. Why not?
