Yes, you're right as far as my experience. My roommate won't get my links unless I text her a msg first. Then I can send links. Else they just get "filtered"
The DOD is the only source of good news besides returning soldiers. Because the news agencies don't sell papers and get viewers by talking about good news. If the ignorant masses wanted good news, then Fox and CBS would just steal headlines from cuteoverload.com and show puppies and kittens all day. The people want to see death, destruction, and violence. That's why people make slasher movies. That's why so many shows now are just a version of CSI extreme.
They probably steal gas and food along with their MP3s if they don't have credit cards. People with bad credit turn to a life of crime rather quickly if I understand the **AAs. That's why they have to prosecute little old ladies, thirteen year old girls, and dead people. Because they all usually have bad credit, and therefore they steal music and pirate movies, and now we've been able to add gas and food to the list of things they steal.
Clearly the solution is that the **AA's should be able to prosecute any teenager that doesn't have an actively used credit card. Because they're stealing music. That has to be the conclusion of the article.
no, they didn't "make back the money" because if you had paid for the album you unlawfully downloaded, they would have more than they have now.
The alternative question is would they prefer that you not unlawfully download their music and then not go to their concerts that you went to based on that act, or do they prefer people to download and come to their concerts because their artists and really want to just be heard instead of like Lars Ulrich where he wants to sacrifice downloaders during concerts for the amusement of the audience and the **AA's. So if you see them in person, ask them that.
Thank you for pointing this hole out to them. Now they'll ban even the random rolls in online games because people use those random rolls for gambling too.
I see this making cyber stalking easier. Look at it this way. You find your new girlfriend on the geophoto site, you see that she uploads pictures every saturday from a park or event, and then you just go there.
It's the public school system paid for by the tax-base that supports that school district, so in fact it's not "free". And since some of the seniors could be property owners, they would be paying for the education through their taxes, so that makes it directly "Not-free".
And you believe that they should make a "down payment" which means it's not free, at least in Michigan, where an advertiser can't claim "free after rebate" because there is a string attached, to be "free" it has to be zero cost to you.
How do you know that one of these students won't write a story that eventually becomes a great novel, and then Turnitin.com will be able to claim the copyright because it was assigned to them through the school system by potentially a minor who didn't have the legal opportunity to assign that right? There's a strong potential for future profit it Turnitin.com starts data mining it's papers and then assigning the rights to the best stories/articles and generating profit off the works of the students.
Well, since you appear to have directly copied without giving credit to the original source, I think that you've infringed on the Wikipedia copyleft.

If someone read your post without reading the Wikipedia entry, they would have thought you educated and rather a wordsmith. But that was you taking credit for someone else's wordsmithing. You wouldn't take credit for the work of a metalsmith would you? No, because you know he'd track you down and quench a sword in you. But in this case you thought, "hah, no one reads the articles on slashdot, I'll just copy this" and Turnitin.com caught you.
I agree. They should fire the rest of the team and hire more like Keri. And have more myths about bikinis. And nudist colonies. And release a Mythbusters Red-headed Women Uncensored DVD.
Politics.
I mean really, did you have to ask?
If you look Boeing is part of United Space Alliance, and the "Orion Team" includes Honeywell. And since MacDac merged with Boeing in 97, there really isn't anyone major in the aerospace program that's not on the team. So instead of a "competition", they gave it out to companies that are in the major population states and will bring good quantities of electoral votes and opportunities for candidates up for re-election this year to say how they helped bring the "moon program" to their district.
Sorry no mod points today. But hey, I had the same response, since I saw it late and there was a NASA logo on the story below for Orion, I thought IBM was investing in private space exploration, probably as a pre-cursor to HAL-9000 on Vista.
Your friends "follow" the space program, which means they read news. Dan Goldin started the "smarter" NASA when I worked as a contractor at KSC back in the 90's. Crippen pushed safety and cost effectiveness. I worked with some of the best people in the industry, and never have I met a group more focused on a mission. The mission was the mission statement.
And if NASA was scrapped tomorrow, you'd get no more of these: http://www.thespaceplace.com/nasa/spinoffs.html Spinoffs.
And I just bet that your house is filled with things that came as a spinoff of the program.
And now you whine "But because I want them they would have been invented anyways" but when? By whom?
And as another poster mentioned, NASA puts lots of money into research that is carried out by Universities and schools.
I'd suggest you get more information from the sources, and less from your "friends"
Haven't bought any music in several years, because the latest stuff doesn't interest me. Of course, they think I'm just stealing it on the internets, but instead, I'm listening to talk radio and XM comedy.
Agreed, we were happy just to find an employee that showed up on a semi regular basis and didn't steal for a few weeks.
Talent? Maybe like hopping over the counter, or using the sour cream guns as water pistols.
I've only bought 2 games in the last year, AoE's colonization and Dungeon Seige 2.
Because the other games they are producing are not ones I want to buy. I'm not pirating, but since I'm not buying, the industry attributes the sales downturn as piracy losses.
I'll buy Sam and Max if it looks decent. I'd buy a Monkey Island, King's Quest, Indiana Jones story based game.
because that's the type I'd like to play again. I'm bored with FPS and RTS, give me a real storyline with an intellectual challenge, like insult sword fighting.
If I want insult FPS, all I have to do is load Halo 2 in Xbox Live and find a few 10 yr olds.
My last girlfriend complained that I didn't know enough about Heraclitus and that's why she was leaving. I didn't realize she knew that much about ancient greeks. I guess she studied Heraclitus a lot on her own when I fell asleep.
I mean, we're lucky that he wrote on it. How many ancient writings could we find if someone will look in that monastery's latrine? I bet a lot of ancient texts went to clean some holy man's impurities. After all, it's just pagan writings. Maybe this is the source of the Muslim fear of the Koran being placed on/in toilets?
No, They'd only blame Remington if those people had really bad facial hair.
I'd be hard to kill someone with one of those Remington products. But the Epilator, that does sound like a true instrument of death.
I think the CIA uses those to torture terrorism suspects.
Exactly! If they aren't stopped while young, they'll be out plunging into rivers, cavorting in seas, orating over a canyon, and very likely that it won't end until they've torn a sunset asunder!
I'm surprised that this valuable forest was not guarded by CCTV, then the police wouldn't have had to wait for neighbors to call them.
"Bob, forget screen 3, it's just a bank robbery. Look at screen 9, those kids! They're molesting nature! Call out the Worcestershire & Sherwood Foresters Regiment!"
Carp man, Brits need some real problems if forest molestation is a major police issue.
But your fear betrays your faith, because faith is having the confidence to know you're right without physical evidence to guide your decision. No one alive today wrote the old testament, and it's a given among believers that it gives them the wisdom of the religion. And if you believe without proof, that's faith.
