1) The park is being cleared so that it can be cleaned. After that the protesters are allowed to return! Why is this even an issue?
Because some of the protesters thought that "demand #9: clean our laundry while we're protesting" was being acquiesced to, so they left all their tents, clothes, books, food, etc in the park thinking the "cleaning" would clean their stuff and leave it in the park for them to re-occupy.
Protest Hollywood and the NFL instead! Those are the people who make disproportionately huge amounts of money for extremely small contributions.
If you hear cities talk about NFL, it's like sporting arenas and events are like city-level advertising. They supposedly bring a one-time (per event) influx of outside dollars to area restaurants, bars, and hotels that politicians think makes up for the cost of building the money sinks that are sports arenas. Maybe there is a net-positive, but I see a lot of waste just for trading cash from city to city every weekend (and a lot of cash going to the "advertisers" (sporting industry).
Wall Street did not get us into this recession. That was the government. Companies can be vicious, but they are essentially big dumb animals. They act in their best interest given their environment. When the government declared that more people should be able to buy homes, it created a bubble
And the media. Frankly, the housing bubble couldn't have had as big an impact as what we've seen. The media is largely to blame for the spread of the damage. They ramped up the "OMG sky is falling" crap a year ahead of a presidential election, either for ratings, or maybe they knew that people would freak out, but the end result is that people did freak out, and stopped spending, putting the pinch on all sectors of the economy, making more people lose jobs, etc. If the news had just reported with "XYZ banks are losing money with the bubble bursting", there would have been some bank buyouts, consolidation, and a lot less pain overall.
Mainly because the Tea Party crowd wasn't this nasty, vile and violent.
I became disgusted with the OWS crowd when I heard about the girl that defecated on a cop car.
They weren't simply vagabonds, drug users, drug dealers, rapists and clueless idiots looking for a place to squat for free while ACORN and the labor unions fund them to do nothing but complain about no work while not out looking for any.
Whoa there! Just because some of the OWS are these things doesn't mean that the entire group "is simply" such and such. It would make your argument more tolerable to read if you would use the positive take of "The Tea Party protests don't have yadda yadda yadda".
Just because you have a real lock on the case doesn't mean they're going to suddenly treat it with kid gloves during loading/unloading. A big biohazard sticker next to a big fragile sticker might do it though. Of course then you have some explaining to do.
*If* you fucking believe something, *If* you are passionate about something, then fucking post it without hiding. If you can't post it without hiding behind the AC (and this obviously excludes people who post AC for legitimate reasons) then you doubt your own "belief" or "opinion" and why should anyone take you seriously.
Five years ago, someone with $150 could have pieced together a usable new machine that would still be functional today. Someone with $300 (or who could pay in installments) could have paid a high school kid to build it for them.
Yes, having a drug addict parent is a disadvantage.
But how many character points do you get for them? Do the get listed as a dependent, or are they patrons or allies with a negative point value? Sorry. Been in GURPS mode all day.
Have you not noticed patterns in your friends' Facebook accounts when they go through a divorce? Usually they defriend each other, list their relationship as "it's complicated", and one person adds a new friend that they keep showing up together with in new photos, foursquare posts, etc. Then when things are brought to a head, they stop using FB during the proceedings and afterward list themselves as in a relationship with the "new friend". It's not rocket science. As to applicability, evidence of an affair (personal messages and poke wars) can allow one side a huge advantage when it comes to custody or splitting up assets.
A complete history, complete with deleted content can be gotten from Facebook, so I don't know why this password exchange business was ordered.
You do realize, you can option-click at the prompt to move the cursor THERE, right?
No, I did not realize that because I was using a CLI I expected Home and End to work properly. Why would anyone think to use open-apple-option-mouse-click-and-hold to move to the beginning or end of a line?
and/or use standard shell keyboard equivs, e.g. control-A, control-E, etc?
What's standard about that? Home and End are full fledged buttons dating back to typewriter days.
I have control-w defined to delete word in my shell too, for example.
Bully for you. I don't feel like changing the defaults on every Mac I touch. I'd rather have the defaults make sense.
sudo annoyed you? It wasn't the myriad packages available for Ubuntu that Fedora declared "not free enough", where Fedora decided just not to have them in the repos instead of forking them like Debian?
Of course Fedora "gets along" with CentOS, that's because CentOS 5 is RHEL 5 is Fedora 8. CentOS 7 will probably be Fedora 14.
I do believe it would be beneficial for Apple to adopt a traditional key-mapping, though.
Yes, yes, please! Home and End should be line sensitive, not history sensitive. Every time I type on a Mac CLI and have to use the left arrow fifty times to edit a command, I want to scream.
Okay, then German, French, Spanish... I suppose I feel a slight urge to use babelfish. Philosophy, no urge to use a search engine. Maybe sciency stuff is specially suited to intermittent lookups and not being thought about in the mean time?
I haven't played a drumset or ridden a bike in a while. I wouldn't feel an urge to use a search engine to buy them either (plenty of music stores and bike shops nearby).

Press with proper credentials have been told "you are not press tonight"
Citation? Please? This would be a career ending gaffe for any police commissioner.
But it had to be written, put on hiatus, casted, put on hiatus, filmed, produced, marketed to hell... then debuted.

Was it Zeus and Hera? I hear the Greeks blamed them for a lot of earthquakes.
Oops, I meant Silence Dogood.

It's "SPOLiation of evidence", not "SPOILation". But everyone knows what you meant, so my point is mute.
Pure genus.
McCoy just says "I'm a Doctor! Not a [fill in whatever you need him to do]"
If you don't pay, he'll even say "I'm a Doctor, not a Doctor!"

Yeah, it's actually easy to change on a Mac, but I work with so many Macs that are used by other people that it's a pain.

Although I just got ios 5.0.1 via wifi as a incremental patch. Guess I don't need iTunes any more.

20 years from now there is a good chance that such an old game would be incapable with what ever computer your running it on.
I can run a full emulator on current hardware that I still need to slow down for older games. Twenty years from now, I'm betting it will be similar.
Do you spend your time today playing 20 year old games?
Yes. You don't?
I wouldn't. I'd tell my lawyer to prepare his largest vault and stand my ground. There are times when suing is the right course of action.
