    Most Christians do not appear to agree on a great many things concerning their religion, hence the enormous number of splinter denominations / sects.

    You can live a cash-only life in hopes of improving your odds at general anonymity, but every time you stand in front of a CCTV camera you are exposing yourself to the world.

    I expose myself in front of school yards, you insensitive clod.

    I do not ban Facebook however, it makes my life much easier. You get hired, if during your first 90 days I see Facebook opened on your machine, you get released on the spot.

    So, what you're saying is that you DO ban Facebook, you just don't tell your employees that you do, until you fire them for it.

    While it's certainly your right as an employer to act like a complete asshat, I feel sorry for your employees.

    Do you put them on double secret probation as well?

    I'm pretty sure that the average person is a member of a much, much larger sample size.

    I don't know whether it's reasonable to draw conclusions from a 300K mile trial, but I'm pretty certain that comparing that to the average person is going to be problematic.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that you have a penchant for understatement.

    I would think that if you haven't had anything to eat or drink for 18 hours that your need to releive yourself would be minimal. When I'm mildly dehydrated, the last thing on my mind is taking a piss.

    If I was him, I would have waited for the police to show up and then asked the officer to arrest the TSA agent for theft since the agent wouldn't reliquish the bag when he said he wanted to leave.

    Do you honestly think that would end in your favor?

    That would be relevant if TripAdvisor were a party to the suit, but they don't appear to be. The TOS wouldn't even apply here.

  14. Re:BCD != DD on Bradley Manning Wants To Live As a Woman · · Score: 1

    Not exactly. Many states treat a DD as equivalent to a felony conviction. To get a DD, you have to do something the military considers pretty heinous. A BCD can be given after serving time in military prison for some very serious crimes, not all of which are misdemeanors. It's up to the discretion of the court-martial.

    Is it? How can you be so sure? With the existence of secret courts, and secret blanket surveillance (poorly) overseen by those same secret courts, none of us are in a position of knowing whether that's true or not.

    How many mega-cities were right by the seashore during those previous times?

    Those mega-cities right by the seashore are going to have to deal with rising sea levels, whether or not AGW is sound, whether or not anyone does anything about it - because there IS warming in our future, and there will be rising seas.

    It's simply a matter of when, not if.

    We're so fucking stuck on the fight over the causes of climate change that we're not adequately looking at the questions we should be: what are we going to do when sea levels change?

    Because they will.

    Possibly. The ones sold by your local tool/hardware store are not legally classified as firearms. If the store filled out a form 4473 and did a background check, it's safe to assume that it is.

    Attempting to understand the meaning of laws without understanding what legal definitions apply is a bit naive, IMHO. Particularly firearms law, unless you like prison. EXTRA particularly NFA, unless you like getting killed.
