I never said that he was a moron. I may have called him fat and lazy but I didn't say he was a moron. But honestly, what he said was pretty stupid. And if You decided to call people addicted to anything stupid, lazy, and full of excuses, then more power to you. Because honestly, they are. I smoke and I'll admit that I'm addicted. But I haven't quit yet because I don't want to deal with the withdrawls and because I don't have something high on priority list that makes me want to quit. See, I understand my situation and I don't lie to myself about it. Thats the difference between me and the other guy.
Now as for calling autistic people that kind of stuff, thats just plain wrong. There's nothing they can do about their situation so your argument is pretty flawed with respects to those people.
And you're right, I don't really care to help that person in particular. Had he been my friend, it would have been a different story. But him, I think he's lazy and pretty pathetic for lying to himself and all of us. And as I said in my earlier post, another one of my issues is that he's being modded +5 which just reinforces his mentality and perpetuates it to everyone else that has his condition. Spreading that type of mentality is spreading a disease. Thats my biggest issue with him.
As for understanding, I completely understand where he's coming from. He's over weight, lazy, and full of excuses. Prove my ego? I'm not trying to prove any ego. I'm calling out his bullshit for what it was. Why do I need to be nice to someone that spews lies like that? Did you read everyone else's post that tried to reason with him and not be abrasive? He just came back with more excuses. Let me see him refute any of my points. He can't and he won't
Rich? Hardly. In fact, I'm pretty damn broke. I don't have a pool at my place but I don't need one. Most cities have city pools that are available to use for a relatively low price. Then there are local private pools too that are also available but slightly more expensive. Then you have gym's too. Many gym's have membership plans that cost a little more than a dollar a day. Like I said, if he really wanted to do it, he could do it. Its just not in his priority list to get complete.
As for me being a teenager... why? because I flamed him? If you'll re-read my post, you'll see why I flamed him. I can't stand people that lie to us but more importantly, lie to themselves about why they can't do something; ie: making excuses. Perpetuating that mentality is even worse. I also brought up some very strong points as to why he's full of it. So I think I have a valid reason to flame him and tell him to stfu
As for your idiotic perception that its not mind over matter... You're an idiot for thinking its not. You're an idiot for thinking that just because you can easily deal with the hunger that someone else should be able to too. You're an idiot for thinking that just because you don't think about food all the time everyone else is just like you. For those people that are addicted to eating, they think about it constantly and for them, it is way more about mind over matter than anything else.
Your problem is mentally, you're a pussy. You don't need 2 hours a day. You just like to give excuses.
If I could get to a pool 2 hours a day maybe I'd have a chance.
WRONG. Let me fix this for you... If you wanted to get to a pool 2 hours a day, you would. You just don't care about that as a priority. And don't give me that crap about how you have to work so you don't have time. Either your work is a higher priority (which isn't necessarily bad) because you could make the time if you wanted to or you do have 2 hours of free time a day but you're just too fucking lazy to get off your fat ass. You tell yourself you're not lying but you know damn fucking well you're just lying to yourself. And whats this crap about a pool? There are elliptical machines and numerous other intense cardiovascular workouts you can do that is low impact on your joints. But again, you just make excuses for yourself because if you REALLY wanted to do it, you would have already researched what kinds of workouts you could do. You think I'm full of shit about you quitting and making excuses? Lets see...
What's worse is when I've stopped it's taken a couple of months of eating reasonable portions and not excercising as much to put on all the weight I've lost over 6-8 months AND add some more kilos as the body overcompensates
Now why the hell would you stop if this was really something that was important to you? OBVIOUSLY, its not.You can lie to yourself as much as you want but to the rest of us, its apparent whats going on. I'm somewhat sorry I'm being a complete dick to you but really, you deserve it. Being nice to you obviously doesn't work so someone has to give you the hard truth. Besides that, I hate the idea that you are perpetuation this bullshit mentality. Other overweight and unhealthy people see what you post and empathize with your falsities and use your post as an excuse. Point is... GET OFF YOUR FAT LAZY FUCKING ASS AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOURSELF. If you really want it, you can get it. Eat 4 small meals a day that are less than 2000 calories and work out 30 minutes a day, 4 days a week. YOU WILL lose weight after months.
BTW, don't get me wrong, I don't think its easy for everyone to lose weight. I acknowledge the fact that it might be harder for you to lose weight. However, if this is really your priority, you would do it. But don't spew bullshit to us saying you want to but you can't. Come clean and admit that you don't care to because its too hard for you to do and we won't have crap to say to you. Don't give us bullshit excuses.
I believe the iPhone has a light saber app that makes a WHOOSH sound when you swing it around. You might wanna try installing that and playing around with it.
I don't have a smart phone so I'm not sure how it works but from what I've seen, there is no menu option on your phone to go in and get GPS coordinates. You can only use the GPS so that it points out your location on a map that is downloaded via the Internet connection. I think thats why we're referring to signal.
the only advantage the gps units had over smartphones is the fact they still worked on trips that take out them out of signal range.
That "only" advantage is really a huge advantage, at least for people that need it when they're out of signal range. I'm willing to bet that there are lots of people that travel outside of signal range that need GPS services too. I'm into boating and I really need my GPS to give me coordinates when I'm out on the ocean and when any nearby boats can only pick up my signal but not triangulate it. Even more so in case I need to broadcast an SOS to boats in my local vicinity. There are probably also numerous other sports that take people far out into the desert or other remote places that should or do rely on GPS for safety and organization.
I'm not going to put my life on the line because my signal has died or my cell phone's battery is dead and the manufacturer didn't provide a way to plug in some sort of backup battery.
Its one thing to not be able to read maps, but these things are turning people dependent and dumb. I have multiple friends that rely on their nav so much that they can't remember how to get to my place that is less than 10 miles away after they've driven here over five times. They turn into drones. One girl I dated had to rent a car once and she lived only five miles away and she couldn't remember how to get to my place. From her place, my place is literally left, right then straight for 3 miles, then left, then right. because she didn't know the street names.
IANAL, but according to the wikipedia entry on Summers v. Tice, a large contributing factor appears to be that Tice and Simmons both fired in the direction of Summers and both were deemed negligent. In a community shared computer, the other people would not necessarily be negligent. I can't see them possibly using that case as precedent. Besides, thats only a California Supreme Court decision.
I think you should clarify your post a bit. I didn't see this race but if they hit head on at 200mph, they sure as hell didn't do it perpendicular to the wall. They had to do it at a very acute angle to the wall. Even then, I still doubt the veracity of that statement. Lets look at the numbers. I'll give you 1 meter as the deceleration distance.
so velocity: 200mph == 89.408m/s.
time to decelerate: 1m/89.408m/s = 0.0111846815s
(de)acceleration: (89.408m/s - 0)/0.0111846815s = 7993.79044 m/s^2 (~815g's)
lets assume the person is an about average weight at 70kg.
force: 70kg * 7993.79044 m/s^2 = 559565.331 newtons
now the car can be made out of some super alloy that is indestructible and survive fine or have some amazing crumple zone. but i don't care what kind of person you are, no one's organs can sustain hitting their ribcage with that much force and live.
its been a few years since i did physics though so my math might be flawed.
But more seriously, we should really listen to them on the reasons why they don't need our type of cars and maybe adjust our way of life to be less needy of cars.
Why do we need to adjust our lives to that? Whats wrong with driving hummers or big vehicles? If people can afford it, then let them. And thanks to california, emissions in those vehicles aren't a problem. They're probably a waste of natural gas, but I doubt they pollute anywhere near as much as the sports cars that the Europeans drive. I'm sure they dont' pollute as much as my turbo charged coupe.
Speaking of fast cars, fuck Europeans for criticizing us for having ridiculously big cars or whatever. Why do they need to build ridiculously fast cars? The majority of the fastest cars in the world come out of Europe. Those things are MAJOR gas guzzlers and they are a serious threat to the safety of everyone else on the road.
This might solve an issue with Tuna being over fished but if these super tuna are extremely efficient, how does it adversely affect other fish populations? I sur ehope they don't plan on releasing this inot the wild. There are plenty of examples of human intervention in nature causing havoc.
you're so f**king right man. this article is f**cking stupid. i get you cause i drank a barrel of wine earlier too. OBVIOUSLY, the gas cloud is orbiting the milky way at 62 million year intervals and we're the ones standing still. IDNTRTFAWIDTBYDE (i don't need to read the f**king article when i'm drunk too because you didn't either)
Isn't 300 about the Persians (modern day Iranians) getting defeated by 300 Greeks (modern day Westerners)? I don't think they want to convey to their people that they're a bunch of pussies when it comes to Westernized people.
If this was a "fight to the death", then yes, apple would probably win. However, Apple is in the business of making money. It doesn't make sense for them to continue to sue Palm only to be sued back by Palm for something else because in the end, its just going to force them to stop distributing product, pay royalties, and ultimately lose lots of money, more than just letting Palm continue on with its operations.. So Palm's CEO's use of patents is spot in, IMHO.
That argument is normally sound when it comes to things like Microsoft Office that get re-released every year. However, IE7 has been out for something like 2.5 years now. And IE6 was released almost 8 years ago. Staying a cycle behind with regards to IE is absolutely retarded and there is no justification for it (unless they're in the business of collecting buggy software)
Spoken like somebody who doesn't develop anything for any governments.
I sure as shit hope our government doesn't still use IE6 everywhere. That is a MAJOR security hole that needs to get filled immediately. At least install Firefox or something.
Not necessarily. Your job is to consult the client in what is best for them. I've had certain situations where a client wanted some specific fancy AJAX functionality that would have been to costly or impossible to build for IE6. In those situations, its your job to present to them the situation and let them decided upon it.
Of course, I'm slightly biased so when I presented it to them, I helped them understand why the functionality was important to the site and why IE6 would not be worth building support for.
right, so they don't require fingerprinting. then again, lets look at how many bombings occur in the countries that don't require them and the number of bombings that happen here. sometimes, people confuse intelligent safety protocols with being wussy. usually, we call them idiots.
What part of flying on an airplane requires that you have fingerprints?
Flying is a privilege, not a right. If finger printing is necessary to maintain the safety of its passengers and the country that the people are flying into, then it should be required.
further more... i'm not sure i'd even want tsa workers to be doing any thinking outside of the box when it comes to the safety and security of my country. tsa has shown time and time again to hire morons. lets let the protocols do the thinking and not the tsa employees.

Fixed that for you. Screw semantics. We have standards for a reason.
oh yea, btw, the buenos aires bombing happened in 1995 and it was against the israeli embassy, not the argentinian sovereignty.
