You know, there are two funny things about this. The first is no physical movement because you might break out a sweat, and the total decadence in that. The second is that people tend to avoid obese persons in meetings because they are smelly. Seems cyclic. No it isn't you, it's heavy bones and transpiration issues that cause you to be fat.
Yeah. People watching screenings. They got us the last Star Wars and Indy movies. And seemingly they will get us a love story about blue Jar Jar Binks.
I'm not sure where the Tenessee coal disaster comes into this story. Funnily, whatever China will try, they will never be able to match the unendless pollution of the USA and the USA army (the most polluting entities on this planet the last 50 years). Because you used all the natural resources. The last thing the USA can do is point to China on subject of the environment. It is really an outrage.
You can't, they own you, you are in debt. You also are a complete hypocrite, because the things you accuse other countries of, have been giving you great wealth at their expense before. For example, the USA is the most polluting entity on earth but has always been searching for unfair adventages such as in the form of snubbing the Kyoto treaty and others, at the expense of our only world and their competitors in the world market. You conveniently forgot about that outrageous attitude.
The same USA whose citizens caused the worldwide economic crisis by their endless greed and consumption, which they could not pay for.
Americans should be humble, very humble. You are kept alive by the countries you owe money to. The last thing you should resort to, because you are absolutely not in the position, is demands.
This is what our factories have to compete with. The most polluting entity on earth which has been gaining an unfair advantage by snubbing all environmental treaties like Kyoto. Filled with hypocrites, like you.
Nice fanciful things like environmental laws and OSHA are simply non-existent in China as well.
It's not nice to make things up in order to cast a dark light on the competition.
Environmental laws in China are much stricter that in the USA. Outrageous statement really, because the USA has been the environmental leech of the world for many decades. It is the most poluting entity in the world, and there is no competition. The USA have neglected international treaties to gain more advantage by snubbing the environment. And now you, American citizen, claim this? You should be very ashamed of yourself.
They still need to be punished for that. I think we should put an extra import tax on everything American. That should give a more fair playing field too.
You must have been beaten as a kid that you join a collection of pathetic douchebags, and then fight for them on slashdot while completely ignoring all the real issues. Sickening. Another idiot that is putting an enormous amount of time into documenting for humanity what a complete asswipe he is and how that works in a collective of asswipes. For starters, if I google a new potential employee and see he documented himself as an inherent asswipe, I thank him for it. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the fruits of all your work.
Ah a wikinazi. Your type is ruining the Internets, sir. I bet you kill kitties too. A WHOLE sentence huh? Did you know that is no copyright violation.. not even close. But seriously, I like wikinazi. It's like people carefully documenting for others that they are complete douchebags and were beaten as a kid, so they can be ridiculed and then avoided. Something must have gone terribly wrong in your life. So, like the fruits of your work?? One zillion edits and deletions, and this is what people think of you.
I had an external link removed because "it was an external link and wikipedia is no link page." Or something like that. Like someone above said. It's like the police who can always find something wrong about your car if they want to.
So you are making the Hans Reiser mistake all over again, are you? How could you, and your upmodders, after all that has happened.
If you talk the talk, murder and child porn are easily brushed aside, it seems.
I think this is disturbing. It is the opposite force of a lynch party where someone is declared guilty without trial.
You don't know this guy, you know nothing about this case, yet you are saying he is innocent.
Would you felt the same if he was a preacher or swimming teacher?
You could find dirty hands in most countries, including the USA. I think he mixed up Austria and the neutral Switzerland. Italy or Japan with the Netherlands? The Dutch went along with the Nazis like Kuwait went along with the Iraq invasion, Rotterdam was bombed flat, and 5 years of deadly oppression followed until liberation.
shame: the survivors are to this day (with exceptions) ashamed to talk about it, the people or nations that went along with the nazi's (Germany, the Netherlands, the Catholic Church, Switzerland) are ashamed/afraid to admit wrongdoing
Switzerland and the Netherlands nazi countries? Jesus man, get your facts straight. This is totally embarrassing.
Where did you get THAT idea? In the Netherlands there is a big trial in progress where the gang leader is suspected of multiple assassinations, one of which he arranged behind bars. That's just the Dutch. Want to deal with the Turks or Serbs protecting his biz? Completely ignorant at best.
These are easy to crack, because the same captcha recognition software can be used with just a few patches. This is because there is very little if any difference between recognizing a twisted and rotated letter and recognizing another "symbol" like an airplane or fork. From a technical point of view, they are all symbols, and only the domain increases, but not by many objects, I think. And these are easy to solve because it isn't about pixel matching, which the rotations presumably sabotage. It works the same way humans recognize a plane rotated a certain way: by matching on certain cognitive give aways. It is really much easier than an uninformed person would think it is, and typically you only need 3 or 4 such cognitive patterns.
Slashdot writes about keyboard sniffer. IT world guy catches up half a year later, and writes article about, ehm, "new" keyboard sniffing techniques. Slashdot writes about guy writing about old news. What will happen in 6 months?
Back in the days of Rainbow Six (yes, and now you can get off my lawn)
Hello youngster. Back in the days of MUD, we already learned that balance does not exist as a stable concept. Balance is rebalancing, constantly. Big games need Balance Arches or Gods, or in normal words, balance management.
Ah, the higher moral ground. Also snobbery most people on this planet cannot afford. Tell it to people in those circumstances. And name some big names in open source from 3rd world countries. If you can, that is.
From my point of view, it's the Americans who do everything in excess. Bigger is better. SUVs. In case of electronic, consider the bloated Logitech keyboards with wild curves and more multi-media keys than the last version, versus the Happy Hacking Pro 2. Sure there's bloated Japanese design, but there's also a big market for stuff designed with great grace, simplicity and elegance, aimed at functionality.
It is not. In fact, open source software is only possible in a state of welfare, and a luxury others can't afford. There is a scale, with on one hand a poor, jobless programmer in a 3rd world country, his main worry how to feed his children each day, and he will not be thinking a microsecond about the next release of Gnome. Cynically, all those guys battling it out over how freedom is defined in software usually will not be thinking about what is really much more important if a better planet is what you are after. In some way, open source software is like the fluff in Art in better economic times (unfortunately most of it). It wouldn't exist if you are just worrying about food or shelter. Now that's the scale. We are nowhere near that edge, but we're wandering it. It is not ridiculous. P.S. I don't hate open source or something, I run an open source project myself and it is not affected so far.

So if intelligence is related to nutrition, why aren't cows (the fat blobs!) the most intelligent species on earth?
You know, there are two funny things about this. The first is no physical movement because you might break out a sweat, and the total decadence in that. The second is that people tend to avoid obese persons in meetings because they are smelly. Seems cyclic. No it isn't you, it's heavy bones and transpiration issues that cause you to be fat.
The first step to battle obesity is to stop blaming it on everyone else and stop making up excuses for your behavioral patterns.

Bill Gates was beaten as a kid?
You're presuming all education online will be non interactive. Which is a false presumption.
there are no drug gangs or mafia in Europe
