Wait til someone writes a virus that alters the program to tell you its safe while you get hit by a bus instead of being alerted.
but in all seriousness, this is something that at this point in time is of little value, but in a future of self driving cars may mature into something very useful.
Are you forgetting that this is also many many millions and millions of miles away and something we never have seen before? and did i mention its millions of miles away??
not sure that it is really off topic, it parallels what is going on with the government when they create these programs which end up growing into something which was not the intention, but by that point they are stuck with it so they convince themselves they are doing good.
This right here is the perfect example of when groups push for goals without looking at the big picture. So not only did they take away camping, and hiking from the people who live there, but to add insult to injury, it was sold, and a golf course put in (private I assume) so the land is now not available for ANYONE, any animals that called the place home are now gone and theres an ugly private golf course where a once beautiful park was.
Environmentalists who push like this really piss me off. Meanwhile hes sitting at home patting himself on the back for what a good job he did saving the planet from the evil humans....
the war on drugs was going on long before reagan. the war on drugs started with prohibition, when that didnt work it moved to marihuana in the late 30s. the push got strong under reagan for sure, but it hasnt slowed under bush clinton bush and obama. Learn your history coward.
Ive noticed ever since tablets have come out more and more pages going to a dark backround, I wonder if the dev is taking tab bat life into consideration when redesigning these pages. Anytime ive come across a phone/tablet friendly redesign (nascar.com is the worst) it tends to make it horrible on a PC. Page optimization for a pc vs a touch screen is not the same, as we saw with windows 8 and metro, I dont know why web devs think it can be work for their site.
not that i idsagree with your point, but your *, if thats how you really view the rich, try not working for one, see how far it gets you. What happened to the america where it was everyones goal to become rich?? why all of a sudden are we hating on the people we know we would all love to be?
i see you are talking about the iphone, id go a step back and go with the ipod. the iphone was just the obvious evolution from the ipod. IMO its been over a decade since apple has come out with anythng special
i see your point however it is obvious they are talking about known globes/maps. I am positive that there were others before this of the area however they are lost or still hidden from modern society.
you just pointed out why i want to get the fuck out of NY and get back to texas. 100 grand in texas is worth a million in NY or cali. more if you count no income tax and other stuff. Id get to keepalomst 30% more than i get to keep now (i pay over 50% now)
for the same reason you cant agree with me i cant agree with you. you are not born a D and D player, you choose it. I would argue that other than race your other arguments are the same. so i cant agree with you. I did assume someone would find issue with my choice of words however
your point one i can agree with you to a degree, your poi t 2.... no, "feeling like" IS the disorder. so plain and simple if i want to be black, i should expect the government to pay for it, because, a you said its a disorder.
yeah I know what you were referring to. I agree I dont think/. is dumb enough to try that. as far as i can recall only 1 comment has ever been deleted in the entire time its been up. I simply disagree is all, i find disabling the comments a sign that they know they wrote something that would incite a heated debate and they dont want to deal with it, they just want to get their point across without having to hear the opposition. Many papers are like this, my local papers webpages all have comments, however on anything that is even mildly controversial they will disable comments. I find that to just be a slap in the face. Sure it is their site their rules I just find it really annoying personally.
we cant simply go by numbers like that though. In some places in america 10 grand a year is comfortable living, in NY or cali for instance 10 grand gets you pretty much nothing. I guess rich is in the eyes of the beholder though
ugghh no. not what I said at all. Plus he is a criminal now and criminals should not get benefits such as this. If I told you I "feel" like a black person trapped in a white persons body, does that mean that the government should pay for me to be turned into a black person??? fuck no!
Super mods that are not fulltime. Meaning super mods are just mods who are consistantly have great karma (lets call it perfect karma) and instead of getting the normal 5 or 15 mod points you get 5 or 15 correction mod points that either dump posts to neg 2 or bump them to pos 5 with your single vote. That way it keeps everyone in check.
no. screw that. I get annoyed as hell when places decide for me what stories i can and cant comment on. Thats why digg fell apart when they got bought out, they disabled all comments.
slashdot IS comments. I can find these stories all over the web (in fact as we all joke we usually do before its here) but we come to slashdot for the comments. Sure the quality has dropped in the past 10 years but there are still alot of good posters here, and there is no reason to disable posts on a story because of fear of what will be said. In fact the entire Idea just tells me whatever is happeneing that we would even considering such a thing, is a horrible thing to begin with or something that is clearly wrong.
i dont think most people do care, I do think a lot of people care that it would cost american tax payers to have it done. I know thats my issue with it, if he/she wants to be a woman more power to him/her. but dont make me pay for it and dont try and convince me that it is somehow normal.

yet they all bitch and moan when we dont get involved. we are fucked when we do or if we dont it seems. (i prefer it when we dont)
your ignorance is showing. the christians, which i am not one, but they have not been killing non believers in whole for hundreds of years now.

there is no valid reason.

frankly I dont get angry about when anyone says anything about religion, I was simply providing an observation I have noticed.
as I said, MSNBC is the only network that makes fox look reasonable. MSNBC is by far worse and full of more dipshits.
we cant simply go by numbers like that though. In some places in america 10 grand a year is comfortable living, in NY or cali for instance 10 grand gets you pretty much nothing. I guess rich is in the eyes of the beholder though

jackson tried it right?
