I remember in the late nineties websites used to stream porn using mpeg and you can always download the file. It's not like flash is the only option, just the current fad.
And why isn't the government just paying to put solar on everyones roof and doing away with a major part of the grid? Save at both ends. Self-enforced conservation and fewer costly infrastructure requirements. Of course, then the corporate and government swine can't screw the public.
"US law is not world law."
Maybe we should fix this since we have the most powerful country in the world. Being the only superpower kind of sticks us with being the worlds policeman regardless of whether we want the job or not. I don't agree with stepping over their peoples views with ours but policing their governments views though will probably be inevitable. In a world where instabilities can lead to getting us all killed those instabilities and their causes(corruption, abuse, etc) can no longer be tolerated. So far, we've largely behaved like a benevolent uncle, with iraq and even iran, giving plenty and demanding little that isn't being paid for. Probably should get out the cane/big stick more often, especially with china and the russian federation. Especially when it comes to bad IT behavior/hacking/spamming and invasions, you know the obviously wrong things.
I just wish we had more of an ethical leg to stand on, Bush literally blew a foot off when he invaded Iraq.
Why haven't they just extended the laws for snail mail to cover email as it serves the same purpose. It's not like there isn't a major set of federal laws already on the books protecting the privacy of mail. Whether snail mail or email, it's still mail! Do it to a lot of things instead of creating new laws to do the same thing. Problem fixed, no new abusive laws need to be passed, of course then congress would have nothing to do and rail at or use to screw us out of our rights. For the paranoid, the laws are defined pretty well so there would be little likelyhood of extension into other areas leading to a potential totalitarian state. They kindof make it up as they go along anyway, whether lawmakers, judges, or prosecutors so whats the difference. Just look at the last few scotus decisions, or get inappropriately arrested for just standing on a corner and refusing to give id.(papers please) -- hogans heroes
"The grandmother of an extremely attractive young lady in Toronto used Chinese characters in a design she embroidered on one of the girl's shirts. Somebody in Chinatown eventually pointed out to her that the characters said, "This dish is inexpensive but delicious.""
Maybe she knew what it said and knowing her granddaughter, wanted great-grandchildren. I've seen grandmothers do crazier things to increase the size of the family.
More drilling won't make any difference at all since the oil won't be in the pipeline for over a decade. It's just oil corps trying to knock down any limits that have been placed on them. I noticed their subsidies haven't been pulled in an era of record profits and thank you republicans for helping your friends and fucking the rest of us you bastards.
Yes by violating their own constitution. The sovereign is not entitled to protect itself from its own citizens, innocent until proven guilty means just that. The point of being citizens is to be already trusted, otherwise, it's meaningless. You are american citizens wherever you are, not just inside the USA, if not then consulates in other countries would be pointless. Maybe the general public needs to bring its own heavily armed army to counteract the government crap when the public tries to use publicly paid for transport in and out.
Actually the smartest thing for that guy to do in response to your request would be to ignore you. Unless you grab his head, snap his neck(too quick olive fork better), and leave him for the vultures, most don't give a damn anyway. You don't have an absolute right to quiet just like he doesn't have an absolute right to be annoying. In the end it comes down to who has the biggest stick and is willing to use it. If you don't like the behavior of people on the bus(oversensitive vs insensitive clods), walk or get a bicycle/horse/car and drive yourself.
It's their network paid for at both ends by the government and the public. Expand the network to match demand, after all, that's what their being paid at both ends for. Otherwise rip out their monopoly and common carrier status everywhere since they've violated their terms for being chartered and see how they survive then.
We're paying for it from multiple directions so what difference does it make? Let's just take away their monopoly and common carrier status and set up municipal and coop broadband. This shit would end quickly if the isps were threatened with real behavioral responsibility and direct competition from the public.
is called exchange rate. The software is made in america and priced in american dollars. Since the dollar is cheap and the pound and euro are about double or more then prices everywhere else are going to be double as well. This is a non-story just to whip up the slash-idiots. The/. editors and moderators should be tased every two minutes until they stop putting out the meaningless shit stories that they have been putting out lately. I just went by the summary and didn't rtfa, assumptions right or wrong, the punishment would still stand.
About your bad puzzle games comments, here, here! I don't even look at puzzle games cause I'm not going to try to figure out what the author mean't especially with no story background and no independent logical way to figure out the game. That period ruined any respect I ever had for that type of puzzle style game. Dumping a lock you out puzzle in the middle of just exploring around made for a short game. If they die, good. I remember inforcoms HHG, I wasted weeks trying to get past going in circles in the heart of gold before I just dumped the game.
I agree. How is someone supposed to figure that list of inconsistent, unrelated steps out. I'm glad those time wasting 'puzzles?' are gone. Shooters are where a lot of the fun is. That and many people don't have the patience, they want that kill rush now. Puzzles still exist though, they are called strategy games. Think they are going down, just look at Eve:online.
Actually myst like most puzzle games were a waste of time for me. I could never figure them out. Infocom games were a good example of you had to be in the designers shoes before you even had a chance. I just was sick of wasting money on games I had no clue what they were getting at and that even just guessing didn't get me anywhere. FPSes and sims at least you could see a reference to do things with and didn't completely lock you out if you didn't understand something the way the designer did.
Actually parents do have a selection, they're just tightwads. I was sent to private schools decades ago, my dad just paid twice, once in taxes and then to the private school and we weren't rich. Homeschooling is an option too. The options are there, the parents who want it all for themselves and expect everyone to bend over for their kids are more of the problem than anything else. You can't do everything, you chose to have a kid, that kid is your primary responsibility and you and your career are second, if you can't handle it or don't want to, don't have a kid. And sure as hell don't saddle you kid with the expectations you had for your life, you gave your expectations for yourself up when you made the choice. I don't know how we can teach kids responsibility when parents, starting with our president, don't have any.
Ask the woman that waited several hours in the hospital waiting room and died still waiting for care if private healthcare is working. Privatization is just a fasttrack to the bottom of rich vs. the poor.
In Europe, part of the method is the money follows the kid and isn't just given to the school district. That way, it might help to make the districts and teachers responsible towards the students and not think of them as generic product that can be ignored.
This is more of a rant:
What scares me more is these are kids and we refer to school as a job. No wonder many kids don't want to work 9-5 after high school or college, they've already been doing it for at least 13 years with no pay or pension and thrust into a social hell they have no control over, why would they want to do it any longer? When do kids actually get a chance to be kids instead of miniature, ignorant, adults? Maybe we need to rethink how, what for, why, and what, we teach in this country if this is our viewpoint. Let's hear it for the underage slaves. How about this, save money on an outmoded system and teach them at home, thanks to the internet, the infrastructure necessary to implement this idea is already in place. Of course, then parents wouldn't have their built in babysitter forcing parents to sacrifice their careers for a decision they made and employers would have to alter their workflows to accommodate parents staying at home with their children. Either that or parents paying for daycare with internet schooling making them, for once, fully responsible for their reproductive decisions.
You forgot about the abuse/bulling in school. Life isn't a manga, you damn fools. Finland and USA are not situation comparable on many levels. (size, population variations, cultures, etc, etc) So what works in Finland is not going to be a drop in for here.
Which law? They fired him first so they blew it. All their proving is that they can make up the law to conform to their needs which proves the local government is out of control. The bail is definitely an example of that. They are just proving that they can fuck with you any time they want. Get the message SF public or you may be next, of course, maybe that was the eventual intention and childs stopped it. Kiss our ass or go to prison, sounds kind of dictatorlike to me.

How about getting rid of the ISP/Providers and running everyone to a branching backbone thereby getting rid of the middleman.
Not everyone lives in the suburbs or city and many don't have neighborhood associations and wouldn't want the nosy fuckers anyway.
