It may cost more. But maybe she's also considering the principal of the matter.
That's what the GP said when he said "Sure, this one time action costs more than giving in, but it might be cheaper in the long run."
Or did you mean "principle?" If so, you didn't say what you thought you said. I'd think she was more concerned with the interest (the payback) rather than the principal (the cost).
The fed's started this high profile case against her,
The Fed's what, their greengrocer?
Even if the notes are accurate, what's with prosecuting someone for saying something incorrect?
It's a felony to lie to an investigator during an investigation, that's what. It was a stupid thing for her to do.
You are not under oath
If she were under oath it would have been perjury rather than obstruction of justice. Honestly, people, I'm neither a cop nor a lawyer an I know that. WTF?
So its ok for the feds to lie to us, for fbi to lie, for Obama to lie, its ok for all politicians to lie to everyone daily.
There's no law against lying unless you're under oath or the cops are asking questions. This isn't about right and wrong, it's about legal and illegal.
That said, Clapper should be in prison for lying to Congress under oath.
Hey feds, the sky is red. Arrest me.
If a cop asks you what color the sky is and you say that, he will.
I always had sympathy for her after her jail sentence. She went to jail for a MINOR insider trading case (where they couldn't even prove that, just obstruction of justice)
I have no sympathy for her at all. I met a woman in a bar just the other day who spent six months for obstruction of justice just like the rich bitch. Her crime? Criminal stupidity, a cop asked her name and she made one up. The dumbass had no warrants or anything, I guess she thought it was funny. If a cop asks a question, answer truthfully or STFU. Stewart begged for a prison sentence.
I'm sorry, but I can't make heads or tails about what you just wrote. What does "You're reading in" mean? And what does his id have to do with it? Did you mean his ego?
I just did a quick google and it seems the only way I'll read it is if it's at the public library. I'll not pay for a pig in a poke. Do you have some quotes from the book?
Okey, this might not have any relevance at all, but I thought that it was quite funny, so I decided to post a little anecdote. Quakeworld - a quake 1 'mod' - tends to give me motion sickness if I'm not used to it.
These guys need to get accounts or I need to get mod points. Apple should have known better, considering that this effect was known fifteen years or more ago; I had a fairly popular Quake site back then (1998-2003) and got quite a few emails from readers talking about this in Quake II, and bigger sites than mine were covering it as well.
Research fail on Apple's part. Hubris or stupidity? Both?
I think you misunderstood his point - whether or not the hardware was updated, it was the same interface. The interface was the problem, not the phone.
I'm starting to think that my $125 waterproof Android phone is superior to an $800 iBling in a whole lot of ways (my daughter has an iPhone, she wants one like mine now).
I'd guess more than a hundred years, read about the Teapot Dome Scandal 90 years ago. Historian Frederick Lewis Allen covered it in Only Yesterday: a An Informal History of the 1920s written in 1931. It's suggested in that tome that Harding's death was either assassination or suicide because of that scandal.
I have the printed book, just finished re-reading it on my phone (there are a few OCR errors). I recommend it, it's a fascinating read. The 1920s were very similar to today, possibly even worse. A housing bubble, runaway stock market, gang wars in Chicago over an illegal drug (alcohol in the '20s). They seemed to have learned a little from History or we'd be in a deep depression now.
It would be hard to have a bigger carbon footprint than that hypocrite Al Gore.
The Route 66 cavalcade goes past my house tonight, so I won't be driving; cops block all the side streets and it will be impossible to get in or out of the driveway. It will consume more petroleum tonight than I will in five years.
As to eating bugs, at my age I have nothing to worry about, I'll likely be dead long before that happens. If it does get so that bugs are all the meat there is, I'll be joining you in vegetarianism.
You can get McRibs for eighty nine cents. Just get a barbecue pork TV dinner and put the "meat" on a bun. Funny how McRibs taste nothing like pork, isn't it?
Well, yeah, but they're bugs that have been turned into fish fowl and furries. But come to think of It I'm sure I've eaten a few bugs, I used to ride a motorcycle.
My objection is that you're eating the whole bug. I wouldn't eat a hamburger if they ground up the whole cow, guts, bones, eyeballs, and all. If that's the only way you could get meat I'd be a vegetarian.
I take it your only dictionary is the 4chan dictionary? How do you morons spell "Idiot"?
Yes, I'm pissed about the mod bombing, even though you 4chan morons can't hurt me. All you can do is annoy me, and then only when I'm drunk and don't have any weed.
I was going to post another chapter but since I'm drunk I'm posting an anti-4chan JE. REAL slashdotters, help me out here. How can we rid slashtot of the 4chan trolls? They got mod points today. What pisses me off is I haven't had any in a year, but the uneducated idiots have plenty.
Mod me down some more, stupid 4channers. God damned mod bombing sons of bitches, you idiots can't hurt my karma. Mod away, imbeciles. And when you fail, GET THE FUCK OFF SLASHDOT AND GO BACK TO YOUR GARBAGE DUMP (the one under your bridge). Dickweeds.
Yes, I'm drunk and pissed off at you fucking retards. Flamebait? Troll? Fuck off. 4channers suck, I hate all you asshole 4channers.
Yes, this comment is flamebait. Well, no, your modding a good comment down baited my flames. Slashdot editors, please stop giving mod points to 4chan idiots. They do not belong at slashdot. Those assholes ran me off from kuro5hin, look where it is now. Please don't let those assholes ruin my slashdot like they did K5!
I take it you've never read the constuitution to see why there's such a thing as copyright in the US in the first place? The whole purpose is to encourage artists and writers to produce things so they will go into the public domain. Originally it was only 14 years.
Weill waved it gently away. "If you want to quit, Sherman, it's all right. But do an old man a favor and let me explain something to you."
"I'm not going to change my mind," said Hillary.
"I'm not going to try to make you. I just want to explain something. I'm an old man and even before you were born I was in this business so I like to talk about it. Humor me, Sherman? Please?"
Hillary sat down. His teeth clamped down on his lower lip and he stared sullenly at his fingernails.
Weill said, "Do you know what a dreamer is, Sherman? Do you know
what he means to ordinary people? Do you know what it is to be like me, like Frank Belanger, like your wife, Sarah? To have crippled minds that can't imagine, that can't build up thoughts? People like myself, ordinary people, would like to escape just once in a while this life of ours. We can't. We need help.
"In olden times it was books, plays, radio, movies, television. They gave us make-believe, but that wasn't important. What was important was that for a little while our own imaginations were stimulated. We could think of handsome lovers and beautiful princesses. We could be beautiful, witty, strong, capable, everything we weren't.
"But, always, the passing of the dream from dreamer to absorber was not perfect. It had to be translated into words in one way or another. The best dreamer in the world might not be able to get any of it into words. And the best writer in the world could put only the smallest part of his dreams into words. You understand?
"But now, with dream recording, any man can dream. You, Sherman, and a handful of men like you, supply those dreams directly and exactly. It's straight from your head into ours, full strength. You dream for a hundred million people every time you dream. You dream a hundred million dreams at once. This is a great thing, my boy. You give all those people a glimpse of something they could not have by themselves."
Hillary mumbled, "I've done my share." He rose desperately to his feet. "I'm through. I don't care what you say. And if you want to sue me for breaking our contract, go ahead and sue. I don't care."
Weill stood up, too. "Would I sue you? . . . Ruth," he spoke into the intercom, "bring in our copy of Mr. Hillary's contract."
He waited. So did Hillary and so did Belanger. Weill smiled faintly and his yellowed fingers drummed softly on his desk.
His secretary brought in the contract. Weill took it, showed its face to Hillary and said, "Sherman, my boy, unless you want to be with me, it's not right you should stay."
Then, before Belanger could make more than the beginning of a horrified gesture to stop him, he tore the contract into four pieces and tossed them down the waste chute. "That's all."
Hillary's hand shot out to seize Weill's. "Thanks, Mr. Weill," he said earnestly, his voice husky. "You've always treated me very well, and I'm grateful. I'm sorry it had to be like this."
"It's all right, my boy. It's all right."
Half in tears, still muttering thanks, Sherman Hillary left.
"For the love of Pete, boss, why did you let him go?" demanded Belanger distractedly. "Don't you see the game? He'll be going straight to Luster-Think. They've bought him off."
Weill raised his hand. "You're wrong. You're quite wrong. I know the boy
and this would not be his style. Besides," he added dryly, "Ruth is a good secretary and she knows what to bring me when I ask for a dreamer's contract. What I had was a fake. The real contract is sti
What they want is zero loss and the way to achieve this is to use high amounts of pesticides that kill any bug that dares to get near produce and feed antibiotics to animals to keep them alive long enough to slaughter them.
Incorrect. What they want is to increase profits to the maximum amounts, and pesticides and antibiotics ain't cheap.A farmer is looking for the biggest yield for the lowest price, and wasting money on pesticides that aren't needed is not a good way to increase your profits. Farmers want to use the least amount of the needed pesticide as they can. I don't know about ranching (the farm show they have here on Sunday mornings doesn't cover animals) but farmers are businessmen and don't want to spend any more than they have to. For instance, they're only going to use Roundup Ready seeds when they have a weed problem that only Roundup will do a good job on, because GM seed is more expensive. I don't think I've ever seen a Monsanto seed commercial, but you see a lot of commercials for traditional hybrids.
Think of it as evolution in action. Stupidity has to get bred out of the gene-pool.
I'm sorry, but that comment was really stupid. You're being flippant, don't understand evolution, or both. If an organism breeds before it dies, its genes live on. By the time a kid is out of high school (s)he is old enough to already have a couple of kids. Plus, posting stupid shit on facebook is rarely if ever fatal. Third, HR doesn't check a janitor's background.
Because Ctrl-Alt-Delete is non-interruptible. This way one could be sure it was truly the login screen and not something impersonating the login screen. At least, that's how I remember it. Could be urban legend.
I coulda swore that the inventor of Ctrl-Alt-Delete said the same thing as you in an interview in the 1990s
Ctrl-Alt-Del came about with the original IBM PC in 1982. IBM PCs had no login screen at all and in fact there would have been no way to hook one up to a network.
Wow, I would have thought they'd have stopped that by now. When I was stationed in Thailand in 1974, the only drugs that had any kind of control were LSD, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana*; they were outlawed (US treaty). Any other drug you could get over the counter, including antibiotics, quaaludes, amphetamines, you name it.
*Heroin and marijuana was freely available in the street and incredibly powerful. E.g. in the US and Europe, heroin is 1-2% pure, in Thailand it was 98% pure. Rather than shooting it up, junkies smoked it in a tobacco cigarette.

My response to waking up and finding out I did something stupid is not to try to drink away the stupid.
Indeed, alcohol never raised anyone's IQ. "Drinking away the stupid" is like trying to cure a headache by banging your head against the wall.
BTW, I just metamoderated you "insightful".
