social care is an obligation, not something that government should abolish responsibility for
While I agree, there is a need to limit the abuses to our social care programs further.
My own personal experiences and acquaintances show that people are willing to abuse easy money whether whether it was marked for needs they actually have or not.
It may make me seem heartless, but I have to ask, "Should we really keep handing out assistance to those who abuse the system time and time again instead of using the money as intended?"
Sorry, wrong. As it was pointed out above, Evil Dead II had a 7 minute rehash of the first Evil Dead movie. The rest of Evil Dead II was its own deal. Also if you fail to watch Evil Dead I, then II, then AoD, you will miss out on the progression of the movies as well as some pretty good laughs and connections between the 3.
The question that I have not seen up to this point (haven't read below this comment yet), is whether or not the movie will be made with comedy in mind or as a campy serious version much like the original?
While true, would those same people watch those men with sticks if they were forced to watch ads instead of get another beer before their game comes back on?
There are different lines drawn for everyone, and if a suitable replacement can easily be found, then you can bet they will move on: that's why cable is finding their subscriber base shrinking while netflix, hulu, and dvd (and other media) purchase base grows.
If hulu pulls too many shenanigans, you can bet that eventually they will find their subscriber base shrinking as well. They could move to netflix, or perhaps find another service that isn't as well known (or yet created).
Good find on the captcha, although you also have to keep in mind that the audience must still feel the show is worthwhile. If the price (whether it be cash or annoyance) is too high, they will scare viewers away.
I'll resize the screen to REALLY small (or just small enough it still plays), while I read slashdot. In the end, there will always be some way to watch their shows without having to really focus on annoying commercials.
If they just put in more ads, I'll be using the commercials for longer breaks outside of the room while the commercials play.
If, however, they allow me to better express my interests so that the commercials they display actually appeal to me, I might actually watch them without any hint of annoyance.
Ah okay, well I haven't had my GPU destroy itself yet, but I purchased a cheap USB cooling fan for the back of the Wii. I wasn't sure if it actually works to prevent that type of issue, but if you are on your 3rd Wii and I'm still on my first, it's either luck or it does indeed work. You may want to check that out at an attempt to prolong your Wii's life assuming you still use it often enough to worry about it.
I think of myself as agnostic. I'm unsure how much of what I've experienced is explainable by science, caused by imagination or over thinking, and perhaps influenced by others who had more belief in a higher power than I did/do. Below is about what I called the energy ball and black shadows that seemed free from touching objects that would cast shadows.
Energy Ball
Back in my jr high school years (12/13 yrs old) and in an area where the closest city with more than 15000 people was roughly 30 miles away from the county, I experimented with meditation that left me questioning the typical placement of your hands. I ended up holding my hands out in front of me like a prayer with my hands held parallel to my lap and my hands about an inch apart. After meditating like that for 15 minutes or so, I felt a tingle sensation or two that I hadn't been expecting between my hands. Instead of trying to blank my mind I focused on that feeling between my hands which then grew.
I was always the silly/corny humor type around girls. So when I suggested to a few them that I put their hand between mine, they thought it odd, but i was a silly guy anyway so why not. There was the obvious girl that giggled at everything, and a few others whom I had tried to tickle the normal way and were not very ticklish or if they were ticklish were very minor compared to the girl who giggled about everything. When their hand was placed between mine 3 of them found it tickled them. Even into the wrist and forearm. The other girl said she felt something but it wasn't tickling her. When I got to her forearm, it turned into a very sharp static shock. When I think back on it, that seems to be more obvious that it was static based because of the girl that shocked (or at least I think it was a shock like static electricity; however, I hadn't felt a shock myself - just the sensation between my hands), but I do find it curious of the girls that said it was ticklish. Was it because it was flirting or a weird situation for them? Are their instances where static electricity would tickle?
As I got older, I kept trying to understand the feeling between my hands and I was told by a few people who were pagan, wiccan, or a mix of the two that you could mold and use for shields to protect against demons, which i didn't and still don't believe in by the way, but these people did and perhaps still do. Upon the suggestion of one of them, three of us combined our hands to form a cube and focused on creating that feeling between our hands. What resulted was the feeling of a tornado or some or rapid moving of a chaotic thick wind if you will. it was very interesting feeling and I'm not sure how static electricity would play into that, but it is what I felt.
Black Shadows
I suppose I was about 16 or 17 (driving age for where I lived) when one of the group from above decided to drive me around in an attempt to prove that demons and other things exist. It, for the most part, was a waste of time, but I found it interesting as I was still exploring other people's beliefs at the time to get an idea of where I stood (Christianity, Wicca, atheism, etc. One day, when we were driving around we had stopped at a dock that was secluded. There were a lot of trees around and the lot itself was about 30 yards square. It was there that I saw my first black shadow that was seemingly very dark for a moon lit night and still. After the one showing me being excited and pointing it out and rambling for a few minutes, I noticed that the shadow seemed to have started to gliding towards us. The shadow was human shaped, but fuzzy on the outlines of it. The bottom did not seem to fully touch the ground. The middle of the shadow seemed to have depth to it instead of the flatness one comes to expect from shadows that lay on the ground; however, this shadow was not laying on the ground. It was vertical. I'd say from my memory that it was roughly 7 feet high. We left before it got too close.
You should have also added that they need a rule that says the passwords can't be similar so that the users can't do this for the next 20 passwords: EasyPassword02!@ EasyPassword04!@ EasyPassword06!@... etc
An even better rule might be to force them to use randomly generated passwords instead of letting them decide their own passwords.
But as long as you allow them to handle usernames and passwords as their method of logging onto a network, you will all ways be vulnerable due to someone writing their passwords down where others can eventually read them.
If you have a lifetime subscription, you have free internet radio streaming.
They had, however, deactivated my account when they made the change to paid only for everyone else, but it only took a phone call and they reinstated it since otherwise it would be a violation of my contract.
My point is that those different services need to be split or similar services for each tested and stated with specifics mentioned for each. Verizon was simply an example.
Obviously a low end DSL connection is not going to be the same as those who can order the 10-15Mbps DSL connection. And it is likely that the DSL 10-15Mbps connection is going to be different from the FIOS 15Mbps.
To group all of those connections into one Verizon line is completely misleading. And if they didn't take measurements from all of those connections, then then that makes the results even more suspect as the graph doesn't specify what type of connection they chose to test with.
I can no longer browse using "http://slashdot.org/index.pl?issue=20110122" for all of the articles on that date. This is severely irritating to say the least. If I can't have that functionality back, then I require the ability to load either 25, 50, or 100 stories at a time from recent to whenever the 100th story was posted.
I typically follow the guideline that the right and center lanes are for slow people or those needing to turn off soon and the left lane is for passing/speeding; however, there are a few roads I break this guideline myself if the following applies:
- the road has a few left exits and I need to take one of those left exits myself - heavy traffic where people (such as myself) with horrible depth perception can cause accidents - traffic is moving between the right, center, and exit lanes frequently
To remedy the situation where I may not be moving fast enough for the person behind me, I will attempt to speed up or slow down to where the person has a gap to pass me on the right. I will match my speed to the gap in hopes they get the idea this is where they should pass me if they wish to move quicker than I am willing.
Driving exclusively in the left lane was a taboo I was uncomfortable with until after a series of close incidents that I didn't wish to repeat. I have since found peace with driving in the left lane on these particular roads and leave the dangers of the center and right lanes to those wishing to pass me.
I understand this, however, what I attempted to say was why they didn't think to implement this feature instead?
(current use of the code below and defaults to h264 which chrome will ignore or webm which IE will ignore in total) <video src="movie.ogg" controls="controls"> your browser does not support the video tag </video>
Specifies type so browser knows how to(or if it can) process it: <video videotype="webm" src="..." controls="controls">
I fail to understand why noone has mentioned the possibility of the HTML5 video tag implementing a "videotype" attribute with possible values being WebM or H264 (with the possible future expansion into other options).
Seems people have forgotten to mention (or a simple reminder) that the Humble Bundle 2 was offering 11 games for less than $10 bucks... ALL with NO DRM!!!
I, too, was looking into purchasing some Ubisoft games, but instead of dealing with their DRM while paying 50+ bucks for a single game, I found myself getting pushed toward these indie developers who are selling non-DRM games of decent quality on the cheap! Even better, is that the Humble Bundle 2 had the option for me to decide to pay more later to reward the developers if, as I'm playing through these games, I found the developers did an awesome job and deserve more compensation for their hard work for a job well done (rather than being ripped off from the start if it in fact ending up being a poorly developed game)!
If you some how haven't heard of the Humble Bundle 2, you can research about it and sign up to hear about the next Humble Bundle release here.
I was for Palin up until this announcement too, but mainly because I believe in drilling and refining more oil instead of importing (good for the trade deficit, generating jobs, and saving your pocket book at the gas station until we can more efficiently decrease our dependence on oil and assuming drilling regulations and incident punishments are upheld). I, like most people, have a hard time finding people to match my preferences (pro-education improvements, pro-stem cell research, pro-choice, pro-tax cuts, pro-nuclear power, anti death row prisoner rights so they can be used for medical research or other beneficial purposes, anti-forever type welfare programs, anti-global police, pro-defense military and military research, pro-space exploration, lower national deficit, pro-capitalism with regulation against monopolies not for, etc)
I really wanted to believe that her stupidity on the news was simply biasness and journalism twisting her image, but I read her post on facebook about wikileaks and realized it was all true. My oil drilling cheerleader is definitely not the brightest crayon in the box.
If exploiting is your worry, then it could always be voluntary but with the offer of reduced sentencing (depending on the crime and the evidence) after a few tests. But really, if you are going to be put to death for killing a family or 10 random people (basically rehabilitation would never be the goal), why not make you a benefit rather than a burden to sociality and help further medicine instead?
I'd rather see criminals sentenced to life or death be given to medical research here on earth. It doesn't require them to posses any knowledge or training like a trip to Mars would and I believe the benefits we'd reap from them with the medical research could potentially be far more rewarding.
Heck, if you really want to use them for space travel purposes, we could use them to figure out how to do long-term cryopreservation.
I have been researching roms and kernels for the Samsung Epic, which of course is a CDMA phone and has 4g. You didn't mention which Samsung S you have, but are you aware of a rom that is Froyo and also has CDMA, Wifi, and 4g capabilities for the Samsung Epic?
Is there a way to keep the stock rom, but force it to upgrade to froyo using root?

Verizon FIOS 15Mbps
