Surely strip the firearm down to the essentials - barrel, chamber, pin, trigger mechanism and the magazine/reload bits. No, I can't remember the proper names, and no, I don't care.
My point is that you don't need the sights, the grip, the safety catch.. the tripod mount, the carry handle, the sling hooks, the stock, the under barrel grenade launcher..
Ok, I changed my mind. Ditch everything else, keep the grenade launcher.
But cut the weight! It's not that hard to dismantle a firearm and keep it functional!
Well, shit, women don't face problems that men do.
Don't give me nonsense about women having it so fucking tough. Check assault rates, life expectancy, relative wealth, social engagement, work/life balance, health spending and a ton of other comparators and come back to me when you have a fucking point.
Were the lenders fraudulent in some way in this case?
"In law, fraud is deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain"
Tricky. The banks didn't technical deceive anybody, they just relied on state bailouts to cover any potential losses.
So no, probably not fraud. Fuck irresponsible though, and they should've been allowed to go bankrupt for their incompetence and inability to properly assess risk and protect their assets.
Why does the US wish for the Euro to be a failure ?
Because a successful Euro would supplant the dollar as the primary world currency, with an associated loss of control, prestige and commercial benefits to the US.
I guess these self-entitled supporters don't care about german pensioners.
If I were unemployed in Greece, no cash in my pocket, no jobs within 40 miles in any direction, and watching my country get fucked over just to boost the German economy, I wouldn't give a flying shit about German pensioners.
Please, tell me, how would that make me self-entitled?
Leia's bikini slave scene inspired a whole generation.
Anyway, anybody whining about slavery on racial grounds is a racist cunt - people of all races have enslaved people of all races, and pretending otherwise is ignorance and/or racism.
Except that as a British person, I'm kind of relaxed about the whole thing. British actors can do 'bad guy' very effectively, and the challenge for the US lead is usually trying to match the performance.
Maybe it helps that the same British actors also play the 'good guy' in British films, and some US ones.
I just like a lot of British actors. I like a lot of American ones too, and a couple of Australians. And a French one.
A few years back someone successfully defending a child pornography related charge because malware on their PC created sufficient doubt regarding the provenance of the images.
I think it is "beyond a reasonable doubt" that someone else may have full control over your computer.
I don't think that's the case. However, forensic analysis of the computer and discovery of actual malware (rather than the strong likelihood of it) probably should suffice to create reasonable doubt.
Of course, if the evidence is an email from you to the terrorist group, or a video of you raping the victim, or account details of multiple offshore accounts in your name, you're going to struggle to claim that the malware did it.
Hmm. Off to write malware that opens offshore bank accounts..
So I could invest a fuck of a lot of money into staff that know how to use MySQL, and writing the software to use it.
Or I could invest a fuckload less money into an Oracle database, buy the fucking application that already connects to it, and draw on a wide range of cheap competent capable DBAs and developers across the planet.
You appear to have no concept of business. It's all politics and people, technology is the easy bit..
I did business with BEA. Oh. I did business with Sun. Oh. I did business with Eloqua, BigMachines, GoldenGate, Hyperion, PeopleSoft and Siebel.
I might be able to replace WLS and the Sparc hardware but switching out a CRM, a HR system, a Finance system, a Marketing system.. that costs a fuck of a lot of money.
I have many issues with Oracle but I seem to be doing business with them nonetheless.
You can live out of one of those for a week easily
Sure, if you don't want a clean shirt every day, a full change of clothing, any alternative footwear.. if you're happy to sleep naked, use the towels in the hotel, smell..
Hmm. You could sit silently with your arms folded and your eyes closed and still get arrested on landing for attempted rape and harassment, then find out that while in the air you've been sacked for misogyny due to their inflight twitter posts.
Unless you're a handsome wealthy looking man of course, in which case go for it.
Sure, just another $250 for a lawyer's letter. Because an app selling for $1 generates the sort of revenue for everybody that they can just throw several hundred dollars away.
Shit, I earn a healthy salary and I think $250 is too much. Lawyers are fucking expensive.

I don't get why you'd even try.

Which words? Cunt?
You acting like one doesn't mean I'm demeaning women when I use the word.
Thanks, nice to hear myself diagnosed so effectively.
Completely wrong, on most counts, but don't let that stop you spewing a message of hate.
Well, shit, women don't face problems that men do.
Don't give me nonsense about women having it so fucking tough. Check assault rates, life expectancy, relative wealth, social engagement, work/life balance, health spending and a ton of other comparators and come back to me when you have a fucking point.
. It's not a problem that men don't face problems
No, it's a fucking lie.
Men face problems too. White people do. Rich people do. Everybody does.
The whole meme about privilege is just utter fucking bullshit and anybody that pretends it's real is just a cunt that needs educating.
It's a cheap way to teach politicians and europhiles that joining the Euro would be a fucking nightmare.
Please happen. Please.

If Germany starts 'the repo process' then it's WWIII.
I will not let my Government stand by and watch Germany invade another NATO nation.

Thank you, that answers a question I never even thought to ask. Very nicely put.

I think Oracle's virtualisation policy is driving customers away, and instead of fixing their stupid policy they're trying to push cloud instead.
Larry might like playing with his boats in the bath, but on this one I think his ego is costing him.

Completely fucking orthogonal.
Stop spouting shit if you don't understand it.
I can't think of another corner of the Internet where people hurl "nigger" or "fag" at each other more.
Really? I'm clearly not browsing at -1 enough.

I have a new resolution for this challenge. I lean forward, put my arms on the top of the chair in front and go to sleep with my head on my arms.
I mean, it's in my space, clearly it's there for my use..
Nah, I've flown on rear-facing military transports. It's very comfortable, and I'd prefer that to the current system.
Sure, just another $250 for a lawyer's letter. Because an app selling for $1 generates the sort of revenue for everybody that they can just throw several hundred dollars away.
