The less apt individuals don't pass on their genes. That's the whole point of the Darwin Awards.
Is there some fund or organization that I can contribute to that will distribute GPS devices to morons^H^H^H^H^H^H disadvantaged families?
Disadvantaged families don't take hiking trips into hostile terrain (with exception of illegal immigrants from Mexico), so they'd just sell them to middle class folk and the middle classers would die.
I cannot fathom how someone would just drive into water.
Probably dark/foggy and they were driving on what looked like a bridge, but was really a ferry dock. Of course, there was probably a crossing-arm that they drove through/around to fall into the water.
Isn't this part of their whole process? Validating and approving apps for distribution via their store? What's the point to holding a two week review on an app before accepting it if they're not going to bother to do a review?
According to what I've been reading, Apple didn't even do a checksum to see if the files matched previously submitted projects,
Because they used a bunch of untrained kids, not soldiers whose jobs revolved around burning things as a team. If you watch the netting, you can see that a lot of the kids were aiming stupid.
I am not talking about what Jesus taught. I am talking about what christian fundamentalists teach. I was an insider, I was one of them. I know first hand how evil, corrupt and two faced they are. If you are a "compassionate christian" you likely have no idea what is happening on the other side of your faith, both through inexperience and willful ignorance.
I am a Christian fundamentalist. The point of fundamentalism is getting back to the fundamentals of Christianity, i.e. what Jesus taught. Fundamentalist churches are a lot more extreme in their forgiveness, charity, and outreach than more established churches. They're also less structured, so you can end up with a church hiring the wrong preacher more often (maybe what happened at your church).
I don't think "promoting fraternity" and "reducing standing armies" are automatically good things. Promoting fraternity could be putting down a revolt against a tyrannic government, and reducing armies could come as a result of aggression.
As added point to my previous comment. Remember that Lenin liberated Russia from the czars and while he was a hero in the ussr, he is a monster everywhere else.
perspective perspective perspective... I don't believe Yassir Araffat was the head of terrorist organization no more than G. W. Bush was.
I was bought up in India, and countless times in my history books I read how those who bombed the british rule and parliament were heroes, they still are today with countless statues all over the city. Today you call Arafat a terrorist, if Palestine is liberated he will go down as a hero.
British parliament versus innocent women and children... I believe he was the head of a terrorist organization. No warrior hero is he.
the guy who got 10% of several hundred peoples income kept that on the down low
Probably less than 1% unless your church met in alleys or parks and had no charitable giving programs. There are a lot of legitimate expenditures whenever you get a lot of people together on a regular basis on land that their group owns, to sing songs that they probably have to pay performance licensing fees for.
Also, Jesus didn't teach "Death to the Pharasees!" or "Death to the Pagans!". The closest he got was telling his followers to buy swords before he was crucified (a caution that they'll need to defend themselves, not attack others).
its there, you just have to know what to look for.
It's not there at all, and my guess is you're reading your own beliefs into their comments.
Control. Driving an automatic in ice & snow scares the * out of me.
It shouldn't. The stick shift cars are the ones I see out of control and accelerating too fast in slippery conditions. I have excellent control with my automatic.
OK, in 1994 I had been on the net for about 2 years. It really wasn't like it is today. Gopher sites abounded, before the 'protect the children, think of the children' folk killed it, IRC was really big. This is all pre-Google, pre Yahoo.
Concur. A friend of mine still has his "Internet Yellow Pages" copy. I'm not talking about a ypbind config file; I'm talking about an actual book, printed with IP addresses with cool things to do on the Internet. There weren't search engines then. I remember when search engines blossomed, and learning how to do the same search in all of the different engines was a useful skill.
The real key to being a good driver is to know your car. That's one of the reasons I strongly advocate manual transmissions - not only does it cut out the whole "I've got a burger in one hand and a cell phone in the other" driving, but it also requires you to intimately know your car and pay more attention...
to your car and less attention to the road. I like my fake-manual transmission when I want to accelerate fast, but I can feel the extra thought it takes to shift.
I think they do a good job of showing which characters do the "literal" stuff as a joke, and which characters are the jokes for always taking things literally.
Tip for telling if someone is pulling your leg: if they have marginally unreasonable views listed with completely unreasonable views (off switches are illegal?), they're being sarcastic.

Apple exercises totalitarian control so that there aren't a sea of buggy and/or malicious apps out there like on Windows.
I would compose a suitable response, but I'm sure as hell not installing a buggy, malicious fart app on my phone just to get the proper verbiage.

And it clears up the pesky stray pet population.

Strange. You would think that Sheldon would say something like "3 * ((3 * knock) + Penny)".
I'm sure he'd rather say (* (+ (* 3 knock) Penny) 3)
Check that robot for slime, STAT!

If they get a Nobel prize these days they must be.
You think Franklin would be In Favor of [..] having women's breasts & men's penises fondled
You're talking about Benjamin Franklin, right? Founding father? Notorious lecher?

Really, I am now learning German and at my age..what a pain in the butt.
I didn't know Dieter made any Learn German with Sprockets DVDs. I suppose the might not be popular due to the price.

I don't think one has had a sacrifice in quite a while.

I like this analogy best since vespene geysers actually have limitless capacity after depletion.

Their Starcraft tournament champions give me an all-out guffaw.

Only pirates play video games offline. No one ever has a good reason not to be online. Off switches are illegal.
