Then pick up a frakking weapon and start the revolution. If you not willing to die (or even kill) for your principles, then they're principles; they're hobbies. If you are willing to do more than post petulant prattle, then, please, just shut up.
They don't. There are a lot of high-end foreign automakers that sell cars in the US without any 'required' safety specs met at all. Often these cars are only driven on private property (i.e. race tracks), or never driven at all (i.e. collectors taking them, by trailer, to car shows). It's only when they want to drive them on American roads, they need to meet safety regs. And even then, all they would need are 'collector' plates to ignore the anyway (similar to how old-timey cars can still drive on public roads).
And when someone publishes US state secrets, the US cannot [legally] do anything except deport them. That's why the US government goes after whoever the foreigner got the secrets from.
Given that this "Christian construct" is the product of a Catholic monks imagination, and that Catholics are only ~17% of the the Earth's Christian population, I don't think one could reasonably call this a "Christian construct". Maybe a "construct of one sect of Christianity"....
Ironically, that effect was first used in Star Trek VI. It happened in the beginning when the Klingon moon 'Praxis' exploded. The effect is even called a 'Praxis Ring'.
- People who 'distrust banks' would certainly not trust Apple, who asks (read:requires) quite a bit more personal information.
- Figuring the exact price including tax is not easy. Maybe you could do it... There are State sales taxes, municipal taxes, luxury taxes and even (sometimes) 'special' taxes for certain malls. All this would have to be researched and calculated, which is not something most people would do. I suppose they could have called ahead and asked for the exact cost. But when I try to do that for any big ticket, chain store item, I'm told the store cannot do that without entering the sale in the register.
- ATMs do indeed give uncirculated bills (though old cash does not 'get destroyed' for many years). But most (all?) only give 20's. Again, these folks had exact change.
- You may be right about fanboi vernacular. But I was told their speech was very similar, like this kind of similar.
- Why would they do it? Because it looks great on TV when some 'random' person speaks about the iPhone with near-orgasmic delight. Because it's a hell of lot easier to keep it on quiet than limiting supply (which would involve large warehouses for storage and 100's low-wage workers to 'keep a secret'). And there really are no logistical issues here at all. There are companies that specialize in doing this exact type of thing. Apples pays them in cash, they send a few hundred actors to various major cities, and POW! Instant hype. What do you think the $150K was for? Best Buy wants a line to start forming at their Seattle stores at 11PM the night before release? Sure, here's $30K in cash Apple. Make it happen.
I agree, it's probably nothing. Just an interesting bit of observational hearsay. But this type of behavior is not uncommon at all. It's called various different things around the world. In England it's called 'rent-a-crowd', in the US it's called 'astroturfing', in France 'claqueing'. It's not a conspiracy. It's been used in marketing and politics for hundreds of years.
Really? Let's see... watch the next, say, ten comments I make over the next days. I will use the methods described. Let me know if you (or anyone) can discern what I am actually saying. Reply to this comment if/when you have it figured out.
Would it not be easier to just use a simple replace/exchange code? Like replace 'overthrow' with 'support', 'government' with 'recovery', and 'nation' with 'sickness': "I will completely support the recovery of this sickness.".
Or a message where someone only read every 8th word to form a secret message. Or do both and combine with an acrostic. There are much easier ways to hide a message.
How knows? Maybe a lot can be learned from women who choose a celibate, isolated, and cloistered lifestyle. And their penchant for ridiculous clothing (for most)? That's got to be worth something.
I friend of mine loves the iPhone. When the new one came out, he was one people waiting in the super long lines for it. Three times they were out of stock, so he had to try again later. He said he noticed some interesting similarities about the people in the various lines.
Quite a few paid in cash. Normally not unusual at all. But these people were paying with the exact amount needed (even accounting for tax) and with clearly uncirculated bills. They were also the ones that seemed the most vocal about how excited they were to get the iPhone and how awesome it was going to be. He noticed how all were using the same basic superlatives; almost as if they had memorized a script. Corporate plants? Who knows? But in was an intriguing thought...
Facts do often have a liberal bias. Always have. Just like fantasy stories often are bias to the ideal of "everyone is the same, in their heart, holds the same values".
The 55-year-old also predicted that in the future, Google will know so much about its users that the search engine will be able to help them plan their lives.
Why in the world would this man's age be relevant at all? Is this some less-than-subtle form of the 'old ppl sux @ teh inernt' stereotype?
I too grow weary of Google's preachy attitude toward security. But as far as I know, Google has never had any significant security breach (i.e. one that exposed personally identifiable information).
I prefer to go into city porn theaters. I take one of those 'super soaker' type water guns and fill it with white hand lotion (I prefer Jergens). I sit in the back and start 'shooting my load', as it were, all over the crowd. Oddly, very few of them seem to mind.
He was officially given total responsibility and authority, so it really doesn't matter who's property it was on paper. His boss was the de facto owner. The office bathrooms are the public's property too, but that but that doesn't mean the city offices have to allow any passerby to come the building and use it. For that matter, the offices themselves are public property, but try strolling into the Mayors office unannounced....
You want to have fuck all three of those things? I mean one is ethereal, one is a long-dead man, and one is a religion. But hey, what rings your bell man. I am sure there are many Muslims who may not swing that way, but who appreciate the thought. How can one person have so much love in their heart?
Yeah, I know about those. But I really need my phone to function at work. I am afraid if I were to root it and/or use the 'nonroot' method, I would wonk out my phone and be out of commission (literally) for several hours or days.

No doubt. Sometimes all it sounds like is "blah blah aboot blah blah, eh?". Damn other people with their damn native languages.
facepalm
Wow! Two hit combo!
whoosh!
Well, a high end blade enclosure full of high end blades, etc could cost about that much.
The layman would perceive that as 'a server'

By that reasoning would not all attacks be local attacks? What would be an example of a "true" remote attack?

I will keep that in mind if I ever visit one. Thanks for the tip (no offense)!

It's only 'the mob' if they are against you. Otherwise, it's taken as 'the common people'. And I presume, the AC was referring to the /. community.
