It may not result in catastrophic depressurization, but it would result in depressurization and given the density of humanity in a plane, it's really damn hard to not hit anyone other than the intended target.
We don't need guns on planes. We need to lock cockpit doors. What's that you say, we already do that? Well shit. Security solved.
Re: time for the country known as 'internet' to be recognized
The Internet is not free of politics. It's just that it's politics are pretty much a perfect meritocracy, as opposed to one where you can drown out those that disagree with you or otherwise disappear them.
Yeah. Screw just the privacy implications. Every time they use one of these vans it's assault as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure that politicans would have you arrested if you pointed an X-Ray at them randomly.
I'm not a pirate any more, but... if the companies insist on treating all their customers like criminals, should they really be surprised that a lot of them act like criminals?
My phone does this. Does nobody on the forums here use Android phones? I hit the little microphone button after hitting reply to the text, say my bit, then hit send. It's very accurate at understanding what I'm saying.
So what work, exactly, is the "performance" that's happening that you're trying to get paid for? Are you actually doing anything during the performance? So why should you expect people to "stump up" and pay for you to do jack shit and collect money?
The disconnect here is you. You don't seem to realize that a rational, sane person sees no additional value from you added when they play the radio, so they see no reason to pay. As it should be. If you want to keep collecting money, you need to get your ass off the Internet and start actually working.
The thing that scares me is that the person who wrote it didn't even bother to check a dictionary for a definition:
"Binge texting: sending massive amounts of texts to build self-esteem among peers."
If you're building something among peers, it would be just plain esteem, not self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about... wait for it... yourself! So you can't build it "among peers".
It makes me sad that so many people who have no business writing do so much of it.
Re: Re: Re: I love the smell of bias in the morning...
So, you don't accept facts if they don't agree with what you think they should be, and you're too lazy to go look up the evidence yourself, and demand that others do it for you?
Holy hell. The cognitive dissonance here is almost palpable... "my preconceptions are validated, so fuck the facts of most things about this election being HIGHLY irregular, unlike pretty much any other election"
I only paste into Notepad if it doesn't do the right thing at first. Ctrl+Z works in all of my programs, and 75% of the time there is no weird formatting attached.
That's nice and all, but if you use ABP, you can also just block anything from http://*.tynt.com/ and that'll take care of it, too. I also do that for doubleclick.
No, it's not. Entrapment is when you encourage someone to commit a crime they would otherwise not commit. I can walk past a prostitute whether she's a cop or not. If the cop dressed as a prostitute makes the initial overtures and statements, then that's entrapment. But if they stand there passively in an area known for prostitution and get approached themselves, then it's not.
So I'm curious, Patrick, why is it "not helpful to policymakers" to use this number, when the number you throw out to policymakers all the time uses the same methodology?
I really hope that's a rhetorical question. Because the answer is that the facts don't match with his agenda, so he wants to discredit them wherever possible.
