"properly resolved"? And what, exactly, does that mean? There's only one way to end a conflict while ensuring that the other side never bothers you again: it's called "genocide". I sure hope that's not your idea of a "proper resolution".
Yep, that's the way I always saw it - if they're going to assume that I'm a pirate and take my money to pay off the "artists", then I'm damn well gonna get my moneys worth.
If the police have time to catch me speeding, they have time to figure out who threw a bearbottle through the rear window of my car.
Bullshit. Investigating your case could take days or weeks, and the prosecuter would probably turn it down even if they managed to grab the right person. Meanwhile, in the same time period, they can issue a few hundred tickets. It's not even in the same ballpark.
You're joking, right? Have you actually looked at any benchmarks, anywhere? The ONLY way you can say that AMD beats out intel on price is if you consider the mobo as part of the cost. Otherwise, Intel spanks AMD on pretty much every front.
I think you're a bit confused about what evolution is, but generally you're right. It's games theory: if you're part of a system where few people cheat and cheating is never punished, it's beneficial for you to cheat all the time. Likewise, if you're part of a relatively secular, open, free society, it can be beneficial for you to form an oppressive introverted group which cares only about the welfare of it's own members. Of course, whether such a thing is desirable from a moral standpoint... or whether it causes incalculable harm to those who are not part of your group those things are irrelevant as far as evolution or propagation of memes goes.
As for atheism not providing any net benefit... that's technically correct, but stupid at the same time. Strictly speaking, not believing that the Earth is the center of the universe doesn't provide any net benefit either, on it's own. It's the rejection of unproven assertions, and the mindset behind it, which provides a net benefit - not the rejection of any particular bit of superstition.
Easy. The "innerHTML" bit of the code gets the entire contents of the current element, and the rest of the code puts it into the input box and submits it. It's not "cheating" in any sense of the word. You might be having a hard time parsing the code because it's not exactly pure JavaScript - it's using jQuery.
Jonathan? Jonathan Green? Wow! I didn't expect to see you on here! I thought you were still hanging out at the Suds 'N' Duds Laundromat in your free time.
And if you had been baptized, you may have left when you came of age. As I said, it's largely insignificant, and your personal anecdote doesn't change that.
It might carry more significance, but really makes no difference. You can baptize a baby and then brainwash it for 16 years, or you can brainwash it for 16 years and then baptize it. The latter might be slightly more moral, but the difference is so minor as to be insignificant.
I think you're an idiot, all the more so after your response to him. He explained exactly why your statement was silly, and your response to him was "AHA! INTOLURANCE!". Either respond to what he said, or STFU - don't wast our time and bandwidth with your passive-aggressive bullshit.
You don't even need to look at the IP's, just look at the sites themselves. Same template used for all of them. Same grandiose claims with no actual evidence or data.
I think it's safe to say that Dr. Ann de Wees Allen is a quack. On the other hand, I can't tell what it is, exactly, that she's selling.... so I can't honestly call Ann de Wees Allen a fraud. But I can say with absolute certainty say that Dr. Ann de Wees Allen is definitely a quack.
Show me an honest cop today, and I'll show you a flying pig doing cartwheels next to a unicorn.
The fact that an asshole like you is still alive, relatively non-handicapped, and free to roam the streets, tells me all I need to know about the honesty of cops.
In any case, I don't really see what Intel has to gain from this. Why not simply sell their CPUs capable of their maximum speed and charge $50 extra in the first place?
Huh? AFAIK, the banks won't authorize a debit transaction without a PIN. They won't even let you look at the account details, let alone pull money. It's credit card purchases which can be made without a PIN, ID, or signature, if they're below a certain amount.
I didn't realize you were a lady.:P You may not have noticed, but us guys love nothing more than sharing our farts with others.
Which is one of the reasons why most of the/. crowd never gets laid. Contrary to established nerd beliefs, women, in fact, do not enjoy having you fart in their face.
I think we could make do with somewhat fewer, perhaps seven, or one for each of the seven seas.
Given that future threats are unlikely to be all-out-global-warfare, you're probably right. However, they're useful enough in non-combat situations that keeping them around would be a good idea. The only question is how much longer you'll be able to afford them.
I wonder, though, whether carriers per se will become obsolete with the development of small attack drones.
Drones will change everything. The F-22 will be the last manned fighter in the US arsenal, and large carriers will become obsolete within a few decades. A sub wouldn't carry drones capable of any serious ground-attack missions, but it certainly could be loaded with drones capable of shooting down enemy fighters and (maybe?) sinking enemy ships.

Paranoia.

We pay levies on blank media, so your definition of free may or may not apply.
So .... not free as in speech, or free as in beer .... free as in health-care?

Shh! You're not supposed to let facts get in the way of a good cop-bashing!

Do you have any evidence of this?
You must be new here ....
Apparently, a lot of Christians with mod points have decided to prove you right.

Dude, you're on /.
The appropriate quote here is: "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."
lol. cute :)

Because they'd lose customers to AMD?
America has started about 14 wars of aggression ...
As opposed to all those peaceful wars, where soldiers smoke a lot of pot, prance through the streets, and hand out flowers to the other side.

Funny, I didn't realize 'nam was in Canada last week ...
So they were lepton?
