Intelligence/knowledge correlates to wise which correlates to ethics..... Why do you think their are so few rapes now compared to 3000years ago? I'm sure there was a lot of abhorent behavior going on in the past that is rare now.
Pandora, spotify, last.fm, Hulu. None of which are available in canada or most places outside the US. Bittorrent however is still free in both senses. That they couldn't roll these out internationally is bull. Maybe a few months lag time max to fix the deals internationally. Plus last.fm clearly has SOMETHING in place since they used to stream to everyone. It is somewhat amazing that i've been able to illegitimately listen to streaming music for 10 years now and business STILL hasn't got it right. I guess I should expect a good legit streaming show/movie site in about 2030.
Yeah I was drunk on rageahol earlier. They'd survive likely but It'd be a part of society I'd be willing to let go. Creepy listless bunch the mormons, the polygamy i'm fine with it can be a societal choice (no logical argument against it). But the scary indoctrination, lack of freedom of choice and control of children is scary. I suppose the Amish would survive too. Honestly I've got little against them, they give children choices even if there is a good deal of indoctrination they don't use extreme methods. Really in a post-apocalypse they'd be the only ones doing well.
But the Catholic majority or Protestants. Without people to leach off of or take ideas from they'd kill each other until there were maybe 10% remaining. Even if they didn't they certainly wouldn't progress as a society. I think in 1000years left to their own devices they would become less religious and move forwards again. But two generations of the most religious people on the planet put together left to their own devices would be baaaaad.
A society of all atheists might include some people that are just depressed or pissed at god or people irrational in other ways... Of course it wouldn't be full of 'saints' not a lot more so than normal anyways. But I think much of our government would be repaired in 4years. I think science would rapidly accelerate its progression. Crime rates would drop significantly. Even if partly because of our homogeneous beliefs. Maybe i'm just being an optimist and giving atheists too much credit. It is kind of hard to admit the possibility that people across all stratification of society suck that much. I think that might be affecting me but I doubt it is the only reason for my optimism/pessimism.
Ubuntu and KDE with their own idea centers. I have one. Ditch the idea centers and allow ideas to be submitted in the same way as bugs. Then allow bugs to be more freely accessed. Why make two systems when they do pretty much the same thing? Play off the strengths you've already built up. Clearly it wouldn't be hard to make this happen. This is my sole request for KDE/ubuntu/ff/anything with an open bug reporting system.
I dunno why this is tagged funny. Seriously, so many people on/. preach the idea that we should merge ideas. "god was the architect of evolution" I say fuck that. Lets show them evolution at work. We are the ones that invent technology. We came up with computers. We came up with modern medicine. The only reason they are still around is because we either share to anyone out of generosity or are outnumbered/they own our ass. Fuck That Shit. They are fucking up society for us holding us back. Making laws to make our children ignorant. Banding together to make sure a believer in rationality and science will never come to power ('id never vote for a heathen'). I know this will sound a little over the top but. We don't need them. What good have they brought us in the last few hundred years? If you put the top 10% most religious people in a state by themselves and gave them 0 support. They would wipe themselves out in a matter of decades. Religion correlates with higher rates of all kinds of violent crimes, rapes, murders... hell even divorce and abortion. Of course i freely admit that correlation is not causation. However when you adjust the data for wealth, age, urban/rural, race the numbers still come up the same. I doubt it is the only factor but I think it is something that is being ignored because it is social faux pas to examine religion too closely. Look at religious community cities. You find horrible situations ala Jesus Camp, jerusalem. Look at communities/cities built around science. You find places like silicon valley, Tokyo, nottingham. Mississippi is more than twice as religious as Vermont..... Anyways, this news isn't funny it is depressing.
So... people setting up the lights are breaking the law. Why should automated ticketing get stopped? Clearly people are pointing their finger at the wrong thing. Abuse of the lights is wrong.
I am of the belief that the law should be upheld. And I don't mean sometimes or case by case I mean all the time. If you think that's horrible its not. Then clearly if the law cannot be upheld all the time the law is wrong. How can you truly uphold the law in a fair manner with off the books deals. I also think legitimizing blurring the lines of right and wrong is bad for society. Why have laws if they are meant to be broken? Stopping enforcement of a rule is stupid, we should be changing the rule itself (upping 3seconds to 6 w/e)
Thats not the camera. Were it a cop there that saw you go through the red light he'd be equally unfair. You are blaming a sensing technology/legal problem on a camera. Clearly they need to fix the lights to work with bikes. Or they cannot reasonably charge you with anything...
Are you serious about golf? You have a higher chance of dying playing golf than any sport aside from bare knuckle boxing. Do you know how many people need a hip replacement after a game? Clearly the statistics show golf is HARDCORE.
Ahahaha. Japanese SUVs are designed for the US. Go to japan or most countries in europe. The average car is half the size of what you see in the US. Coming back from Italy and Japan on my return I thought I entered a land of giant novelty sized vehicles. Japan also doesn't really use vehicles in the first place. I was on the road twice compared to the numerous times I was on trains, shinkansen and buses.
Wow... Some apple blogger dissing dell stuff makes news now? I don't like my cellphone much either. If i write a blog on an apple site about it can I make front page?
Talking about costs. Spamming isn't free if you are running your own servers. And it is high risk. But as GP said spam never gets through gmail. One would think that the scrupulous spammer would not bother spamming gmail anyways. There is no benefit to doing so unless you just hate google and are using a lame form of ddos.
No. MM/DD/YY makes NO sense. Its not in any logical order. Write March 14th if you want. But shorthand should follow some logical pattern. smallest to largest is fine. If you did it biggest to smallest you would be sticking the year in front. Which unless you are talking about something long term doesn't really make sense. If I ask when is that meeting? dd/mm/yy makes the most sense. Also... you CAN say 'the 14th of March'
To be fair. A lot of dealers understand basic chemistry. And they use the metric system. They have decent math skills. They are clearly above the average citizen.
I tried. I put in the forms 2 years ago now but they haven't made it through yet. The reason there are so many trolls like this is because all these patents were granted in the 70s. Nobody new can troll since the patent line is like 5years long now. Everyone is just buying worthless old companies for their patents to troll with.
I read the words 'string... worlds' and it inspired me to make another patent. Pah it'll be useless anyways. Everyone really know that strings aren't real. They are clearly just arrays. How come I haven't heard of a char world yet *sighs in discontent*
MOD PARENT UP. This will only hurt the sites you like and visit. It will have a meager damaging effect on Google and annoy their advertisers before the costs get cut from the ad hosts aka the sites you like.
But really the whole mission statement of Adbusters is stupid. Removing all ads from the internet will destroy pretty much every service on the internet. Think youtube would be profitable without ads? How about any site you visit with alot of images. Bandwidth isn't free so sites make money from either ads, donations or memberships. Most sites with memberships remove the ads for you so this goal is STUPID. Just use Adblock if you hate them so much
WARNING OFFTOPIC: A side note about Google, more specifically youtube pissing me off. I bought a bass guitar and went to find a youtube-mentor. Found an amazing player giving lessons, he had around 100 videos up totaling millions of views. The guys name is MarloweDK http://www.playbassnow.com/ . A few days ago he was inexplicably banned from youtube unable to even create another account. Some of his clips showed him playing along to music and teaching you various songs. But this goes against even youtubes stated policies. If music playing on speakers in the background being played over by a bass (much louder for students to learn) is even against the rules. Then only the audio feed should be cut according to youtube. But his whole account was banned. If any more resourceful/.ers want to help it would be appreciated I'm sure. Even if you don't like bass it is a fairly brazen attack on fair use.
Unfortunate that 'free' VOIP you use is going through your Bell internet lines or a ghetto cableco. I use teksavvy dsl and my voip quality and torrent speeds are crappy/throttled. Why? Because Bell is fucking with my connection once it gets to their backbone even though I'm not buying anything from them at all. I don't see a way we can put the company down if they have control over my internet when I'm not even a customer. Maybe they'll start punitive throttling, hitting people not paying them just because they can. Without the government stepping in there is nothing that could be done aside from building a whole new infrastructure.
All beaches in Europe are nude beaches..... or there might be special 'clothed-beaches' certainly throughout Italy I've seen topless women. But that might just mean that we Italians are sluts.

Ah I suppose I hadn't thought of that. Sexism is pretty bad.

In Japanese they use YY/MM/DD which also makes sense as GP said. Plus you can use a simple sort that way which saves lines of code :p

This video is not available in your country. Stupid youtube.
To be fair. A lot of dealers understand basic chemistry. And they use the metric system. They have decent math skills. They are clearly above the average citizen.
That's stupid. I can't say much more than that.... Just amazingly counter productive.
50% of my post is asking for ways to get youtube(google) to stop doing something evil.... yet you think its fud on google's behalf.... interesting.
Obligatory... Here is the link to the cure
