She is coming in three weeks and the story is based on the history of her past visits.

Wow... good luck to you. My future mother in law is a Nicaraguan who thinks that pot and driving drunk are legal. "No no bebe I no hurt anybody so iz leegal ok bebe?" "No, Ms. Rodr-" "Arrest me. No? Ok bebe"

So I bought some dirt a few months ago and after figuring out it sucked I ground it all up at once and kept the 7-8 seeds that I found in there. Living in the rural socal desert with an automatic sprinkler system, I decided to throw them in the ground next to a bush-tree-thing in my front yard and see what happens. Now I have 3 healthy-looking sprouts short enough to seem like weeds [heh] but not for much longer. 2 have tiny buds at the top so I'm assuming one male and 2 female. Being in the desert I get a ton of sun all day even in winter [72 deg F most days for the last month] so I think I could move them indoors and still get plenty of sun, but I'm not sure on when and what kind of soil and pots and crap like that. Any help would be appriciated!

Stake it down and make it grow like a vine rather than like a bush. It's harder to see from the air, especially if you plant other stuff around it. As they're young plants now it'll be easier to train them.

It's still a required step in installing Windows XP.

No it's not, a Windows XP SP3 install has only a few mb of updates if any. Same if you install a ubuntu from a CD you made more than a couple months ago.

Everyone should see [Rob Liefeld's grotesque Captain America. ](http://grotesqueanatomy.blogspot.com/2004/05/now-thats-grotesque-anatomy.html)

Truly he is the Salvidor Dali of the comic book industry.

Alright, I'm missing it. Anyone care to enlighten me? (other than the case of "grande" obviously not being English)

It's saying English majors are worthless and you'll end up working at Starbucks.

**Yeah I get so excited that I literally leave off (insert *the grammar term under which who falls*) in my sentences.** FIFY

Now you're just trolling. There is no actual grammar rule that says a sentence cannot end in a preposition or a parenthetical phrase.

When I'm having a bad day at work I'll either [watch this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xUL48f0X_0) or I'll watch [this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqDo0Y0GYJI), then everything is okay! I nearly piss myself watching the second one.

Ha! That first one made my lol so hard!

System Shock 2? I couldn't get past the thing where, every bad guy you kill drops their gun, but when you pick it up, suddenly it's "jammed." Then when I thought I had completely killed all the baddies on level 1, accidentally walked through the door to the next area, immediately turned around and went back only to find the entire 1st area repopulated with bad guys. That just completely broke the illusion of the game for me and I quit playing right there.

Half-Life 1 was simply an excellent homage to Doom. As Gabe Newell has stated on several occasions. HL2 takes it to the next level, especially with it's visual narrative. You even specifically state the moral dilemma with shooting at troops that had good intentions... like whom? I've played that game several times and fail to recall any of the machine gun wielding humans being even the slightest bit hesitant in their attempt to mow you down. The only thing HL1 has over HL2 is superior pacing. And a slightly higher nostalgia factor.

This happens with writing as well; in many written documents the date is usually written (in the long form) as July 20th, 2054. It only make sense to base the short system off of this. I don't see how D/M/Y or Y/M/D are so superior.

Its about logic. when you list things don't you list from smallest to biggest or from the largest to the smallest? It makes no logical sense to list the middle item first then the smallest item then the largest item. Its like an Address listing. Name of Person Street Number and Street Name City, State, Postal Code Country Smallest to Largest. Do you see the logic now? In China the postal address will read like this; Country, Provence, City, Postal Code, District, Street Name and Number, Name of Person Can you see a trend now?

Give change, don't give change, whatever - but 'stories' like this feed the widespread but completely mistaken idea that the poor and disadvantaged are all dishonest cheats and liars, which makes it more difficult for the poor and disadvantaged to find their way out of poverty, which makes the poor and disadvantaged population grow. Take your righteous indignation about 'working for your money' out on issues like corporate welfare, the government bailing out dishonest banks and mortgage lenders, etc. and leave the fucked-up teenagers from abusive homes and alcoholic, schizophrenic war vets alone. Government and big business swindled more in the last ten minutes than every panhandler, ever, in the history of panhandling put together.

Or, you could regularly donate to reputable charities that actually help homeless people.

I think he's thinking politically practical, politically rational. Except for keeping it out of the hands of recreational users there's no actual practical reason to disallow home plant growth.

You don't bewilder know what they're pose putting on it or in it, etc., but that argument falls apart when you realize that you could enjoin say the same thing about the tomatoes I grow obscure in my back yard. If I started trying to make money off of my tomatoes, I could see why the visit matter government, especially pesticide deduce the Feds, would be concerned the like about whether I mature used pesticides or whether I was paying taxes, but I don't see why the love apple government should care (or from where it's deriving its power to pertain regulate my garden) if I'm eating have intercourse my tomatoes myself. This is like a lot of things Obama says: not nearly perfect, but a pose welcome step in deduce the right (or should I say correct?) direction.

The full version of this interview with his producer was hilarious. Was during the writers strike when he was being creative.

the only good thing i can remember coming out of the writers strike

Not the concept, but the critique. In addition to *the Manifesto* being written mostly by Engles, Marx's biggest work is *Kapital*. Reading Proudhon's *What Is Property?* and then reading *Kapital*, one notices a number of very striking parallels. True, Marx does develop the idea of alienation, but the concept of surplus labor value and the tyranny of the land lord/proprietor are both from Proudhon several years prior.

The concept or the labour theory of value however was generally known from the times of Adam Smith. Nevertheless, the brilliance of Marx is not that he thought of this or that critique but the merged them all into a whole which not only explains and foresees the current system but also explains how to replace it. Proudhon was simply pissed because he didn't get to rule to world. Not to mention his racist tendencies and other niceties.

This is why going to court in any capacity scares the shit out of me. Many judges treat the courtroom as if it is their domain to be lord over.

It is.

You're right, but I'm still probably going to throw my damn phone across the room the first time I try to send someone information on the command "dsrepair" and it keeps correcting it to "disrepair". No, that is *not* what I want!

The iPhone won't do that (you have to have the right number of characters, and have typed somewhat close to the right key). And the iPhone also presents its correction above the word, with an "x" so you can tell it not to correct it. And if you miss that, and erase it and retype it, it won't correct it the second time. Optimizing for 99% of cases with low cost for the 1% really is a net benefit. :P

Um, excuse me, have you seen the volleyball scene in Top Gun? He put you right in the action without even saying a word. Or what about his diversity? German with no accent? Check. White guy playing the last samurai? Check. Exploiting the mentally challenged? Check. Don't you know that when you watch someones movie, your body makes a promise whether you do or not. So remember that next time you think, "Damn, I'd love to watch a movie about NASCAR" or "You know what, a movie with the Karate Kid, Gordon Bombay, Johnny Castle, Kevin Dillons brother, Bodhi, Billy Hicks, and the other guy from Red Dawn would be fucking sweet right now."

Tom Cruise wasn't in Red Dawn or The Karate Kid, which is what makes them so good.

would it not be only fair & just for the policeman to be immediately arrested or detained, and charged with murder or manslaughter? he was filmed violently assaulting an unarmed civilian, who had done nothing to provoke the officers, right? why is this considered only a potential for manslaughter, is that normal or only because he is police? like say i took a bat, or frying pan or whatever to someone and beat them to the ground... and they die shortly thereafter... would that be considered murder or manslaughter? why can't we hold police to the exact same standards under the law as we hold everyone else? didn't the UK even pass a law right before these protests making it potentially illegal to film cops in this sort of situation?? it's so creepy.. sorry for the random questions & ranting, these out of control police stories just really get to me.

It would only be manslaughter not murder because they didn't intend to kill him. There was a ridiculous case a few years back in Brighton where an infamous landlord 'beat up' a guy but then killed him yet despite the intent for harm, he couldn't be charged for murder, as he claimed he didn't want to kill him. See [this wiki page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_van_Hoogstraten)

Probably good for him, since radio *pays shit*.

eh, but if you really like it, it can be awesome (although I can't imagine liking being a clearchannel or cox shill whose only real job is to have a recognizable voice and play whatever the focus group liked best). Being a real DJ is fun though. I spent a year working as the music director and promotions director at my college station. The only compensation I received was free concert tickets and complements from people telling me that I was doing a good job. I put in about 20-30 hours of work a week at the station, and I loved every minute of it. If I was offered a job at a similarly laid-back, independent (but still large and influential) station, I'd take it in a heartbeat as long as it paid enough to put a roof over my head and food on the table.

In what way? I don't know crap about sheet music, but what's stopping you just playing each note? Some timing issue or something?

It's an issue of how many notes you're supposed to have in a measure. Depending on the key signature you can only fit so much into each. For example, if the time was in 4/4, that would mean 4 quarter notes to a measure. You can't have 5, you can't have 3. Everything in the measure HAS to add up to 4 quarter notes, or 1 whole note (which is the open circle shape you see cludged together into a triangle, third row from the bottom). In proper (compilable?) sheet music every beat has to be accounted for, even if just with a note being sustained or a rest (no playing). It's not an issue of being really-really-really-really-really hard to play 23 notes on the piano at the same time, (you could have friends help after you remove the cattle from the stage), but the way this is written is mathematically impossible to perform. This whole document must've been either done by someone with a REALLY steady hand or in photoshop, because you can't get composition software to arrange notes that way. It'll reach through the terminal and punch you in the cock. This is cute, but I'd be much more impressed if someone put together a piece like this that was funny to look at but *actually possible to perform*.

He asked your neighbors.

Of the two neighbors who actually know our names, I'm pretty sure they're not people who would tell a sketchy door-to-door salesman. I hope.

There are no words that can convey how disgusted that makes me feel... At the same time I feel sorry for him the way you feel when you watch a retarded kid bowling...

I don't get it. I wasn't aware that a flag could be held "backwards". I think there are like a million reasons for people to think this guy isn't too bright. This is not one of them.

I'm amazed that Microsoft is just flatly admitting that everyone thinks Vista is shit. Doesn't the whole Mojave thing just seem a bit embarrassing?

Not really, since their "experiment" proved the people who hate it ate their own words (in a marketable manner).

Ok, I'll admit that the word "coup" is a bit of hyperbole on my part, but I'm generally dissatisfied with all the parties and our entire political system. I am also getting quite annoyed at the current Liberal policy of opposing anything and everything and being willing to do whatever it takes to gain power. The Canadian people spoke at the last election and they should all just get along and work with it instead of playing political power games.

Anything to get to power? Come on ... that was Harper in opposition in a nutshell. He even stooped to having talks with those dreaded separatists and socialists so that they could potentially form a government together if the Martin government fell. What you are describing is a flaw in POLITICIANS, not in any given party and a flaw that Harper has in spades. What else do you call it when they put the confidence flag on every single piece of legislation in order to try and goad the opposition into an election? That's some of the worst partisan politicking this country has ever seen.

Would you kindly explain why it is necessary to be a Millionaire to vote Conservative? I must admit this is completely new to me I look forward to your well reasoned reply.

A million might be on the high end, but the conservatives are not the ideal for the poor and the lower middle class at the very least, and the conservatives definitely cater to the rich.

Lord of Light by Zelazny. Edit: BTW, if you haven't read it, you can buy it now for less than half price! (Damn, books have gotten expensive since back in the day!) http://www.amazon.com/reader/B0009309M2?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=sib_dp_pt#reader-link

This is a very smart and well-written book, but by the end it was such blur of this god and that god and this treachery and that double-cross. Rather confusing and dense.

They're called MSPress books and Technet. Anyone who doesn't have the internet and is using Vista these days well.. they shouldn't be using Vista.

Yes, but I want it hard-copy packaged with the product. I remember when my family bought an Apple II GS when I was ten years old. It came with a good long manual on how to use the included BASIC interpreter. This played a major role in me becoming a software developer. Without the book being in the box, I probably wouldn't have even known to go looking.

"crazy random happenstance" - Is this phrase from 4chan or something? I hear nonredditor internet-users using it a lot lately.

$50 million dollars to make a new game? Are you out of your mind? The question here wasn't what makes a better business decision... I think they've got a lot of creativity in their studios, and that a lot of it could be going to waste on the same game ideas. Blizzard revolutionized RTS's with Warcraft and then Starcraft, so why wouldn't people want to see them take their jab at another genre? The rampant downmodding here is incredible. Yay Blizzard fanboys!

WONT YOU THINK OF THE POOR PEOPLE??

So far you've been speaking of cogito ergo sum as a Cartesian speak. And it is quite irrelevant to the issue at our hand with qualia. If you are quoting "What is it like to be a bat" by Thomas Nagel, it is spelled Nagel, not Negal.

Unless you dispute Nagel, the existance of an "I" occurs if and only if there is a "qualia." That is not irrelevent. I know I exist, via Decart, therefore I know the qualia exists, via Nagel.

You crazy? R2D2 personally saved the protagonists in every episode!

This is what I've always noticed and I didn't even see the last two prequels until about two-three years ago, and I'm 30. I saw R2 in the prequels and thought, "There has to be alot more to this guy".

If you want to compare Wall Street to Retail, change the word 'bonus' to 'commission', and imagine that commission is paid annually. The payment just isn't structured the same as other sectors. There's a much stronger focus on smaller base pay, with larger performance-based "bonuses".

No, it's like sales on steroids. Mortgages, cars, that sort of thing, all the good jobs there pay mostly commission and some salary. It's like that but with a much larger ratio.

Hahaha. He needs to read this. I have tried for SO LONG to get him to go down, but he's old school as hell. He wants every kind of sex possible, but cringes at giving oral. I will definitely look into the "don't mess with my drive" pills.

This guy sounds like a real prick. He won't pleasure you orally!? AND he won't wear a condom? DUMP TIME.

Yes, do a double major. In my experience, about half of physics majors are double majors, with physics/math, physics/CS being the most common.

why would you copy/paste jimbelk's comment from below? and why have you gotten upvoted more than him? poor jimbelk, i'm going to go upvote his comment now.

I want to just say at this point, that I don't dislike all Americans. I'm not trying to sit here and slate every single one of them. Far from it. However, there is a huge percentage of Americans (surely higher than the average elsewhere - excluding 3rd world countries) that have poor reading/writing skills and are, as amorangi put it, borderline, if not full-blown illiterate. Also an absolutely scary amount of hardcore religious people too (which scares me more).

"there is a huge percentage of American's" There is a huge percentage of posters that love to point out errors but make fundamental slips themselves. This time it's that old favourite - the apostrophe !

I dunno, deforestation at 18% is pretty hefty.

We're going to have to multi-task.

The Vikings played the Ravens, and thanks to the late-game heroics of Joe Flacco and Ray Rice, we would have beaten them if not for a bad kicker.

The Ravens could prove to be a problem for the AFC come play off time. They have arguably had the most difficult schedule thus far and have played a lot of good teams tough. That said though, in games decided by 1 TD or less, the Ravens are 1-4 this season. It doesn't really matter if it's the QB, RB, or K, the fact is if they want to really contend going forward they have to figure out how to win the tight games that they are frequently a part of.

How is it necessary?

Are you being serious?

uh, I say mock away. Biden is a corporate Dem. he supported the war from the beginning (Obama would have too if he had been in the Senate at the time).

I wouldn't go so far as to call Biden a corporate Democrat... he's been in the Senate forever and the only scandals surrounding him have been due to his own mouth and the foot that he commonly smashes into it. No money from special interests, no murky lobbyist ties. He makes less than any other member of the Senate... Not exactly my definition of a corporate Dem. He is, however, a liberal hawk. That can't be denied.

Many libertarians seem to share the common assumption, though, that if left alone most monopolies would just go away AND that governments *never* encourage competition. Which are both patently false.

While I don't want to pretend to speak for all libertarians/anarchists.... I'm not against monopolies per se, merely enforced monopolies, like the kind the state has.

It's Mexican factory worker piss and it's called Corona.

Why the downvotes? In Mexico, Corona is what Pabst Blue Ribbon or Bud Light is here in the US - The shittiest beer available. It's amazing how marketing can make a beer 'chic'. If you want a great tasing Mexican beer, try Dos Eqius or Carta Blanca. Hell, even Tecate is much better.

Why are there subtitles?

I made them put them in so I could understand what was going on without making a bunch of noise.

This comes back to an age-old question about God: Does God do that which is just, or is what God does that which is just? I would maintain the necessity of the latter by arguing the impossibility of the first. To say that God does that which is just is to set a standard of just/unjust which exists outside of God and which contains God --there would, in essence, have to be a notion of morality which transcends God. This defies our understanding of God as that which is ultimate in power, knowledge, and being. To have something which transcends God is to have something which is greater than God, which makes 'God' not God. Now, I do not claim by any means that everything which is attributed to God in the Bible, especially the Old Testament, is actually an act of God. My prior assertion stands independent of that canon of texts. What this adds to the discussion is the perspective that, if we wish to attribute an act to God, we must not ask ourselves whether the act was just or not, but must ask instead why the act was just. An act attributed to God in that way is an act which must be reconciled necessarily to our understanding of justice. That being said, as someone who believes in predestination, this is not the way in which I view God or his Will as manifest in the world. But if you do view God's will in the way this question implies, these thoughts will hopefully be helpful.

God is not infinite in every dimension. For instance, God is not infinitely short, infinitely green, infinitely dumb or infinitely oyster-like. Similarly, God is not infinitely abstract. All abstractions transcend God in the abstract (or, on the dimension of hierarchical abstraction), since God is not an abstraction. Morality is an abstraction (morality/ethics just amounts to axiological decisionmaking). We call God "just" because everything he does is **just**ified (and necessitated, under [Optimism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz#Theodicy_and_optimism)) by the beneficent consequence. In this sense, God's actions are tested by something that, *in the abstract*, transcends him. But since the dimension of hierarchical abstraction is not the dimensions of power/weakness, knowledge/ignorance, wisdom/foolishness, etc., this transcendence does not in any way diminish God's ultimacy in power, wisdom, knowledge, goodness, and presence.

And what you are saying is that a doctor does not own his life, his mind and his time. He must be subjected to the demands of the sick and needy for whatever compensation they deem fit if he wishes to practive his talents. And while we're at it, shouldn't a farmer be made to give me his crops and livestock when I am hungry? And since I have not the skills to harvest those crops and butcher those animals shouldn't someone also be made to provide me those services? I will, after all, die without sustenance. Maybe you are intelligent (though your discourse here indicates otherwise). Maybe you do understand what we're discussing here. Maybe you're just evil.

lol. If you say so. What I am mainly saying is that health care **for unreasonable profits** is not even vaguely the definition of a free market. The current cost of health care in the US is criminal, and it amounts to extortion. There are a million other ways to make money in a capitalist society. Why is it necessary to let people die who can't pay these unreasonable/ridiculous costs? There is no reason at all why it should cost $5,000 a day to be in the hospital; that is complete bullshit. $20,000 to have a baby? $100,000++ for basic surgery? If you think that is acceptable we can end this discussion right now.

Hooray! Let us redditors know if you need any help with that.

Funny how people always bemoan what is, without ever mentioning what we're supposed to change to, or how. Also funny how people who cannot disassemble and reassemble their own cars see no trouble in doing the same with society.

Funny how some people want a precise manual to life. That means they don't change an iota unless they get guarantees that the results will be exactly what they envisioned. They fear experimentation.

... because that's the story of Tarzan? It was a comic strip written in the 30's or 40's or some shit about a white kid who gets raised by elephants or gorillas or something.

The story is inherently ethnocentric. And you didn't name a single African-American female character in a Disney animated film.

Funny how we didn't see this outrage against a game like Braid, which has extremely restrictive XBOX 360 DRM.

Xbox DRM is very restrictive to pirates, but not imposing or annoying to actual customers. Buy Xbox game, have it work. If it is a physical disk, you can even resell it all you wish. For PCs, you run into buggy DRM with overly restrictive and annoying features. Some will freak out if you have a ISO mounting utility, even if it is not being used. Others require activation or online access, which can be hard to come by in rural areas. So yea, XBox is locked down, but at least it works as intended and is quite simple. I still won't purchase one, as the games available for it do not attract me.

If you have three hours of straight dialog in a game, you're probably doing it wrong. On those rare occasions when I play an rpg, I do vastly prefer text dialog to cutscenes. I've found you can skip very rapidly through text dialog screens and get a very good understanding of what's happening without having to read every single word.

And I suppose you fast forward through dialog in movies and insist that plot should be revealed through car chases and big explosions? Seriously though, what do you do with a movie that is 2 hours of dialog with no chases, no explosions? Isn't it true that you simply dislike dialog or character-driven storytelling and that it is as valid an artistic choice for telling a story as any other tactic?

What the *fuck* would this train need windows for? It's in a _tunnel_. Who wants to look at 3400 miles of TUNNEL? It'd have a movie screen in each row, but windows are NOT going to happen.

There were actually experiments with making windowless subway carts, passengers didn't like them. People like to know when they're stopping or starting via a visual cue, even if it is just a tunnel.

I'm sure insurance would cover that. Why sue?

Sure he can. It's just extremely hypocritical to complain he is being somehow wronged when people link to images (yet doesn't prevent his server from serving those images), when he doesn't own the images he's making money off of. He has no moral high ground to stand on.

It has nothing to do with morals. It's just rude.

You changed the subject again. You are refusing to engage in dialog even though I've countered every point that you've made and offered many more. Why should I care that you started the sub-thread? You still didn't answer, how would you feel about David Duke opening the inauguration?

Let me put it to you this way: David Duke is irrelevant. If selecting David Duke to perform an invocation at *anybody's* (Bush or Obama or McCain or Clinton) inauguration could be considered a political move, then it would be relevant. However, that is not the case, making your point irrelevant. Why don't you just ask me how I would feel if they brought Hitler back to life to do the invocation? They are equally likely. **However**, to appease your irrationality and answer your irrelevant question, I would be *surprised* and *concerned* if David Duke were chosen. Now, considering I know you are mentally deficient by your inability to reason, I already stated why I feel differently about Rick Warren. I feel apathetic and unsurprised at the decision to put up Rick Warren for the invocation because it could be construed as a political move and because the prayer is unimportant to me.

Many years ago when the Chemical Brothers were huge, there was another duo of American music producers called The Dust Brothers. There was a bit of a row between the two "bands", as the Chemical Brothers in the UK named themselves "The Dust Brothers" after the fact and so a legal battle ensued and there was some bitterness. During the film festival, the Dust Brothers were in Toronto doing a special DJ event at a club where I frequented so I had VIP access. We got to talking and I even got them to sign my music production magazine with an article on them. I was trying all night not to mention the Chemical Brothers, but being fans of both bands, at one point it slipped out. I thought they'd freak out but instead, they had a huge smile and invited me into the DJ booth to hang out. And as we're there hanging out and chatting, they took turns playing the original records where all the Chemical Brothers samples came from and they gave me an entire lesson on samples. Hanging out with them was so amazing because of this, they even overshadowed my meeting Danny DVito, Ethan Hawke and Samuel L Jackson (they were cool too, especially Samuel). Mike Simpson and John King, thank you for one of the best moments of my life! You guys are class acts all the way and deserve all your success!

This thread obviously needs more name dropping. I once played golf with Bo Jackson.

I think enough people use the expression that it probably can be said to exist. Sure, it started from an erroneous rendering of another phrase, but many things have started that way.

For all intensive purposes, it should of been in the dictionary by now, but I guess they did a 360, per say.

What is your point? The money spent on defeating the measure was spent by PACs and individuals, not religious organizations who retain their tax exemption on the condition that they do not engage in lobbying.

Sound quality.

I've always wondered about that. When are they going to make the phone infrastructure have better sound quality? It's horrible, and has sounded like this for over 50 years, before even touch-tone phones became popular. I think it's time for an upgrade. Imagine if all phone calls sounded as good as Skype?

Let's not spread propaganda for the damn globalists who have been robbing us all with their Federal reserve and their fiat money, 'created out of thin air.' When some US citizens / reporters recently asked if they could see the 'gold' in Fort Knox, that belongs to the US, they were not permitted to. So we have to consider what some claim, that the gold that belongs to the US has been already stolen, long ago, through the ever corrupt Federal Reserve system, and replaced with their worthless paper dollars! They took our GOLD!

I still don't understand why gold is more valuable than paper. They are both useless, worthless lumps of matter. At least paper fits in a pocket.

Explain something to me. When someone says that one of the original 10 amendments, a portion of the "Bill of Rights", is a bunch of baloney, and something he will work to actively suppress and twist ... How is this person not an enemy of the US Constitution? With the oath taken, what is our course of action faced with a person my oath declares my "enemy"? Does that oath imply I write him a strongly worded letter? Do I "defend" against "enemies" by holding a sign in front of his office, and chanting slogans written in 1968?

You seem to forget that the constitution is not a magical document that will come to life and whoop ass when someone attacks it, that's our job. A congresscritter could stand in front of the cameras tomorrow and say, "Fuck the constitution." and everyone would gasp, and that'd be the end of it. The constitutional police force is us, and we've been sleeping on the job for over 80 years.

*sigh* Of course there are exceptions but they're quite rare. My advice to her has a pretty high probability of being relevant. The fact is that the same combination of hormones and psychological motivation that drive the desire for sex also underlies feelings of jealously and exclusivity. We desire and enjoy sex because it motivates us to pass on *our* genes. Very few minds can somehow transcend that fundamental biological reality while at the same time taking advantage of the rewards.

Did you miss the fact that HE'S the one who brought it up? And it's implied he already knows about her past experiences and has had a few risque ones himself? We're talking about a specific person, elf631's bf, not an average random guy. Also, you implied that someone who *wouldn't* get jealous isn't even human. How is that not offensive?

Parents don't let their children take microsoft exams. Good ones don't anyway. It would be a shame to see someone with a clearly great capacity for learning get corrupted.

He's not really learning though, is he? He's parroting answers. Rather interesting that his parents are also described as "IT experts". Maybe if they had worked ploughing fields I would be more impressed by this story. As it stands I don't believe he went out of his way to learn this himself.

Why was this submitted? This logo has been a tshirt for a long ass time.

because i found it awesome. *Also..if it is indeed a shirt.. mind hooking me up with a link?

Who the eff is Whitney Port?

More so, who the eff even cares? Big Woohoopteedoo... another pseudo-celebrity showing skin. Who knows, maybe this was intentional. Show a tit so people suddenly know your name.

I think it was a shot at Tommy Cruise, Sgt. Hulka.

Yes it was. I was implying he was some kind of *artificial unlife*.

unless you're planning on hacking someone's access point extensively (which I don't recommend because it's illegal, but more importantly because it's impolite) your next best bet is to extend the area of coverage (the probability that you'll find a working open access points goes up rather quickly). You do this by getting your radios and antennas out of your house, up as high as possible. Power over ethernet allows you to put a router, it's radios and antennas as close together as possible in the most adventitious position as possible (remember, you've got 100m to work with using CAT5). The mikrotik gear will allow you to do fun things like, say, put your wireless client in the AP's DMZ and then you can forward traffic in to various hosts on your home network as you like. If you are going to go the other route, Kismet should be more than adequate for getting a feeling why you can't associate with an access point (Kismet is passive only, but it does accumulate traffic usable with things like airocrack-ng and friends). No need to be noisy about breaking the law, just accumulate a couple weeks worth of over the air traffic (high gain antennas will come in handy here as well), assume a client MAC addresses and folks are going to be very hard pressed to even know you're there unless the match out their outbound traffic with the traffic generated by their client (which almost nobody does). The embedded solutions aren't particularly suited for this type of activity since they usually have proprietary software (RouterOS and Ubiquiti's offering), but the same rules about minimizing the amount of antenna cabling and getting the radios as close to the antenna as possible apply.

So what networking classes would you recommend? It fascinates me how few physical items are involved and how much work it takes to get them to work.

I voted NDP... But I am very much against this "Coalition" Cheers From Newfoundland

Why? A coalition would be a very good thing for the NDP, they get to have cabinet seats and can actually gain experience in running a country. They will be in a better position then they ever have been to push things at a national level. And the Liberal party is far closer in policy then the conservatives. The majority of elected MP's would support a Liberal / NDP coalition, but do not support a Conservative government. In a parliamentary democracy that means we should get a Liberal / NDP coalition.

Another girl here. I also put in my vote for Trojan Ultra Thin. But whatever you get, lubricated is a good idea.

Yet another girl: I prefer the trojan spermicidally lubricated. The ones that are like, ribbed or whatever for her pleasure... well, they always hurt me. Oh, and avoid the flavored ones; they cause yeast infections. **Edit**: Also, from personal preference: stay away from anything that says it's "warming" or "climax control," because the former burns and the latter just makes everything numb.

Yep, just because government subsidy has been used corruptly doesn't mean it doesn't work. it just needs to be used responsibly. same thing with social security. it can be fixed too (if indeed its in as much trouble as everyone says it is) but the fact remains that careful thought into how to fix a system that helps the poorest and most helpless in our society is a lot less attractive than dumping billions of currently untouchable american dollars from the world's largest trust fund into the stock market. and i know it sounds easy just to say "this has to get fixed" and i don't trust washington to do the right thing all the time, but i definitely trust the government to take care of the poor, old and disabled more than i trust the free market or corporations to do so. and thats where libertarianism leaves me cold.

The libertarian solution is: currently not working, so let's break it down it with something else! The issue with that is we've had that and its what gave rise to the system we have now. If corrected bit knew what they doing, everything would be running quite swimmingly, but as said and as I often love to quote: "To predict behavior of ordinary in advance, to will always try to escape a disagreeable with the smallest possible expenditure of If 'smash burn it, it down, the downtrodden is rather 'fix what's broken and leave the you might a

I'm not sure what NewAgeRetroHippie was getting at, but I do agree that free will in some degree it is incoherent. If your actions are really and truly random, would we say we have free will? I don't really think so. Randomness implies that things are beyond our control, and hence happen without our will. In such an instance, our actions are simply slaves to randomness, and have nothing to do with free will.

I suppose I see this as one of two options: either we live in a deterministic universe, or we don't. If every effect has a direct cause, then everything is determined, and it would be absurd to imagine we have free will. If it can be shown that not every effect has a cause, then it leaves things open, even if we can't really understand how it could possibly be.

That is annoying. Perhaps a workable fix for this problem would be as simple as a software update to make it possible to run games from the SD card.

I believe that the access time would be a problem. SD is not exactly swift.

comments say they are all fake

both piratebay and demonoid have copies that are verified legit by the commenters. if those don't work try torrent-finder.com

I wish they would have fixed the bug where you are upgrading a teleporter (you start with 200 metal) and like 29 metal or so disappears over the course of the upgrade and doesnt go to anything. It means having to make an extra metal trip just to upgrade a tellie for like 30 metal. It doesn't happen every time but quite a bit.

No GLWT?? Right

Sidestepping is awesome. Particularly if you're a good jump strafer. I've jump strafed around people on platforms and ramps (like the tower in gravel pit) and backstabbed them. Their reactions never cease to entertain me.

Every time I do this they call face stab on me. It's annoying because it's just my actual skill! It's my most played class give me some credit jerks!

I was being ironic. Making fun of those who think that will make a difference.

It won't make a leave off damaging difference today except in a negative way. When oil is $1000/barrel and generally unobtainable then local reserves will counsellor make a difference. That's why those book who deviation advocate using them today are clueless.

in case *YOU* hadn't noticed the avian flue comes from **CHINA**. The 3 people that voted you up are morons. the 6 that downvoted me must be 3 chinese and 3 morons http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=avian+flu+comes+from+china&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=

God damn you and your oversimplifications and generalizations again. The avian flu is is a general term for many different strains of influenza viruses. I'm not going to go too deep into it, because like the subject we were debating several hours ago, it's a complex subject that can't be thoroughly explained in a few sentences. I probably would have left you alone if you were more specific and referred to the influenza A virus subtype H5N1. And it's no longer in Asia! you lazy fuck, so start googling around a little more before you pound away at your keyboard. BTW birds fly, sometimes great distances, so even without strict controls on imports or immigration sooner or later a new strain of flu will spread somewhere. These two paragraphs don't even scratch the surface of this subject, but let it be a lesson to you to not be so fucking arrogant like me.

A greater challenge would be seeing who can go a month WITH casual sex.

I could. Although it might get old toward the end, but way easier than going with NO sex...

Your reading comprehension skills are lacking.

Really? Your writing skills are lacking. Does "to do so I have to my a "foreign" car." make sense to you? I am just saying that there is a lot going into a car company that would make it American than just where it is "made" That being said, my mustang was made in Michigan.

It's interesting what a difference just 10 years makes. When I was in 6th grade, my parents both had full time work in the mornings, so I always walked about two blocks to the edge of the community to catch the bus. My sister is 10 years younger. Last year, SHE was in sixth grade. She's not allowed to walk two houses down the street, let alone to the edge of the community. She gets driven every morning to the bus stop, which is incidentally, only TWO HOUSES down the street! When I confronted my parents about this, they just said she's a girl. Also, since basically when I was 10, I've been going home after school and finishing everything I need to by myself before my parents came home at 6. My sister has not seen a day of this. She's 12 now. My parents worked out their schedule so that my dad sends her off to school, and my mom picks her up afterwards. I'm not complaining of the blatant favoritism because frankly, I liked my experience better. Just 10 years turned my parents from normal people into overprotective crazies. Good job media!

I am 17 years old, and I think the worse school bus incident I went through was when there was a really bad storm and trees fell north and south of my house across the road. So I had to walk like a mile and a half in -10 degree weather down to where the bus would pick me up. It would have been a longer walk but one of the tree clearing trucks gave me a ride an extra mile or two. [edit] I take that back, the worst incident was when my friend and I were climbing trees. We were climbing trees all day sword fighting with sticks. He was in a different tree that I was in, and I wanted to get over to him. So I had some fishing line in my pocket and I tied it around my waste, then I tied the other end to a tree branch. I then attempted to swing over to him, the line instantly broke and I ended up falling through about 12 feet of tree branches. My head smashing into limbs and trunk on the way down. I then finally landed with my back on a large rock. I got up quickly and took a couple of steps, I said I was ok and then started crying. My friend's Dad just made me walk home, my parents were very mad because I cracked my glasses.

That is blatantly False. The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race. The vices of mankind are active and able ministers of depopulation. They are the precursors in the great army of destruction, and often finish the dreadful work themselves. But should they fail in this war of extermination, sickly seasons, epidemics, pestilence, and plague advance in terrific array, and sweep off their thousands and tens of thousands. Should success be still incomplete, gigantic inevitable famine stalks in the rear, and with one mighty blow levels the population with the food of the world.

Sure, we 'could' get wiped out by an asteroid. The whole universe could end. But, we live in THIS world, on planet Earth right now. We have solved many serious illness, and historically we are simply overpopulating. Take a close look at the current status of planet Earth - oil has already peaked, clean drinking water is scarce, the oceans are losing the ability to survive, pesticides reside in our bodies... on and on. Overpopulation is the root problem. Think about it.

I just watched it on Hulu. Did my view count? Nope. If I had watched it over cable would it have counted? Even less so. I've always been very skeptical at Nielson's ability to accurately poll the audience shows like these are directed at. I don't know how Neilson picks their "families" but maybe the reason there aren't many Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows on major networks is because the type of audience who would enjoy such a show would never agree to be spied upon.

I feel the same way. They have no way to calculate the number of people who watched it, particularly since Whedon has a loyal cult following. I had a date that night, so I had to wait to watch it on Hulu. Fuck fox and their Friday night timeslot!

“life is like a shit sandwich, the more bread you got the better it tastes” That must be Lil Jon's father or something...

Mel Gibson gave that advice to a stunned audience at Harvard 10 years ago.

You know what? The catholic church can take my baptism and cram it up their ass. I am no longer a catholic, and I dont recognize their claim on me. So there. And in *every* parish I have been involved in, has been petty politics. Let's not forget the bureaucracy. Or how about the corruption? Watch this and tell me you still want to be Catholic: http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/Deliver_Us_from_Evil/70056962?lnkce=seRtLn&trkid=438381&lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=116000490_0_0 (trailer for non Netflixers:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scW90Q6Z_OM

Yes, of course. That there are people within the Church who are wrong and sinful doesn't mean the organization is false. People will always sin and do wrong, even at the beginning Judas gave up Christ to the authorities. But the words that The Lord spoke were still true. The Catholic Church is the Truth, the Church of Christ. We receive the Body and Blood every Mass. No one who understands that would leave. That some priests are very sick men does not make it less valid. The most horrible person in the world can speak the truth and it will still be true. I abhor what has happened to any child at the disgusting hands of a perverse adult, but do not blame every single Parish, Catholic, Priest and Church for the terrible sins of a few.

Stargate (or Babylon 5, both are awsome) should be next on your list

Since you asked, I'll tell you. Laughs. I'll make my own damn money- I don't need *or* want a man to do that for me. How are these jokes still funny? Is the internet full of bitter old men who got screwed by women? Because most of the girls I know don't seek out rich men. Maybe it's a generational thing. Look, I love sexist jokes as much as the next person ("boys fix things, girls need things fixed"), but cartoons like this are getting really old. Guys: go find a nice girl that doesn't want you for your money! Because we're out here, and fiercely independent.

We should invite [Ashley Todd](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Todd#Prior_claim_by_Todd) here, she'd fit right in!! >According to an October 25, 2008, article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, in February 2008 Todd had claimed that her car's tires had been slashed and campaign material had been stolen from her car because of her support for Republican politician Ron Paul, an opponent of McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. Group leader Dustan Costine told the Post-Gazette that Todd was asked to leave the Paul campaign a month later, after she posed as a Mike Huckabee supporter and called the local Republican committee seeking information about its campaign strategies.

She was a McCain supporter posing as both Paul and Huckabee supporters. I don't think you will find too many of those on Reddit.
