Well, I actually have no problem with this, we always had cops at the highschool I went to, not that they did much there but, they where always around, (small down, cops bord....lol)
would make crazy fucks think twice, kinda like the loose carry laws in KC where gun crime is VERY low....criminals and nuts think twice when theres a good chance they will be the ones getting shot....
clearly you dont actually live in this country or have never had any contact with the cops.
its very much guilty till proven innocent in this country, I have seen it and dealt with it enough myself, the cops enlarge in this country just wana get an arrest and conviction they dont give a flying fuck about the truth as long as they get an arrest and conviction.
see, theres this thing called parenting, most parents these days dont want to do it,they want schools and the like to do it for them.
when i was a kid, my parents kept and eye on me online till they figured out that i wasnt interested in the porn side of things and wasnt into chat rooms...
on the other hand alot of people i know now arent like that, they dont want their net filtered(they like porn and such) but they would love it if the govt would parent their kids so they could spend more time looking at porn online.....
I dont agree with anything like this net filtering crap....parents need to parent, if they want to block their kids seeing stuff like this there are many easy ways to do it, including scrubit dns and opendns servers that will block sites without need of client side filtering.
funny, all my games that have single player on steam work off-line....and i have hundreds of games on steam.....guess I must be imagining offline mode....or your full of fail.
the pc and console versions of this game REQUIRE sign in to WindowsLive/XBL to play, you can do anything in them till you sign in, I have it on steam and 3 people I know have it on 360, honestly, you made it to easy...there are quite a few games out there you cant get to play without logging in.
now, they may have patched it so you can do SP without login but I REALLY doubt it, since the games more designed for co-op play then anything else.....
note: i wouldnt have bought it, but it was gifted to me by a good friend, who didnt realise the game had this kinda bs till after we started playing.....
still waiting to hear what they are renaming the iPhone in mexico....since you know, throwing a temper tantrum isnt gonna get the mexican court to go their way if bribes and threats couldnt....
the cheetos artical.....dear god the poor logic and excuses to ban them.....and the comments about a healthy school lunch....they must not scubscibe to the federal student lunch program and use said food, because last i checked the companies that make that food wont even lable it like they are required to do with retail goods, because its so high in sodium,fat,exct.
school lunches are worse then fast food.....(read 2 studies that showed that to be true here in the states) nuggets made from "pink slime" spaghetti that comes premade in a can
canned fruits and veggies high in sodium and sugar.....choco milk thats got more sugar then a soda 2x its size....i could go on....its really foul....but somebody is making big bucks selling that shit to the govt for massive profits so...it must be a good thing.
to the Monster part.....dear god......anybody stupid enough to drink a bunch of any energy drink in 1 day......IDIOTS...
sorry I feel anybody that stupid should be allowed to darwin themselves.....
in this case, I would like to know any other foods/drinks she had, if it really was just 2 monsters(and if thats all she had.....well her parents need kicked in the head)
I see alot of people make themselves sick on energy drinks, but I also see alot of idiots give themselves alcohol poisoning because its "Cool"....
its sad she died, but I dont agree with suing monster or redbull or any energy drink maker for user stupidity....
also note: the US has a lower "recommended" dose of caffien then many other countries and these stories are pretty rare.... best place for examples of how these things become a problem is the idiots who game for 3+ days without sleep drinking huge amounts of stimulant laced drinks AND on top of that, they dont eat or drink anything else most of the time...and then people are shocked they keel over dead...
BAH....i know im ranting but.....I drink these things a couple times a week from various makers, and im always aware I need to also drink other fluids as well...
on another note, I once watched a coworker give himself a heart attack from eating over 4lb of dark chocolate in 1 day, the stuff was 93% cocoa to bitter for anybody else, doctor told him it was the caffeine and fact all he drank with it was strong coffee......(not kidding in that day all he had was coffee and chocolate....)
but im sure that eventually there will be laws that make energy drinks illegal "for the children".....(im so tired of the naney state crap)
anybody who talks like that idiot clearly dosnt know the history of apple or even know that jobs himself BRAGGED about stealing ideas....
"good artists copy, great artists steal" was one of his favorite quotes for decades to justify apple stealing ideas from others and then calling it "innovation"
I think the reality is, jobs RDF is running out of power trying to make the ipad3/ipad mini sell....as well as some of their other massively overpriced "form over function" products.
since jobs died the fields been on borrowed time, only the profit prophit could keep that sucker running.
jobs was a tool, but I will give him credit for 1 thing, He was an amazing salesman, he could take a turd and find a way to sell it by the millions!!!
education means little when it comes to writing ability, or thinking ability, infact, many of the smartest people I have worked with and known have been collage dropouts or never gone to collage, infact one of them never finished highschool, he dropped out and started working in the field and learned on his own.....
some of the dumbist and most stuck up/self important people I have met have had multi degrees......heads where firmly stuck up their rectums......they wouldnt even let facts get in the way of their opinions.....
very true, some chinese makers have great build quality
Ainol
Eken
Onda
RAmos
Teclast
there are others, but its amazing how far some of these chinese makers have come, Onda has been well known for years for their media players, Ainol, RAmos and Teclast as well....
I got a buddy an onda android tab that was one of the first in the world to get a working port of ICS its working great to this day....and its better in some ways then my touch pad.....(and was cheaper).....main way being its working well with a 64gb microsd card......(no slot on touchpad).....
actually, ebooks get alot of traffic on p2p, but, alot of those people only torrent/emule/exct the books because they cant get a drm free version of said book OR any ebook version at all outside user made ones.
I have done this myself with a few titles I own in dead tree versions, this is because I like to turn books that dont have an audio version into audio books using textaloud mp3 and scansoft/nuance voices, its not as good as a real quality narrator reading the book but its better then a bad narrator or nothing at all.
I also torrented the UK version of all the harry potter books and audiobooks because im a huge fan of stephen fry but im not allowed to buy that version of the books from the states, because i have to buy the jim dale version http://waa.ai/485
change to english (gb) from the states or english (us) from the UK and you will find, you cant buy the other version legally due to publishing deals.....
Jim Dale version isnt bad, hes a good reader, but the Stephen Fry version...to me it comes alive....he gives each their own feel and personality.....
if they ever allow me to buy them here in the states, I will do so, till then, they wont see my money.
tho I do plan to get a flac rip from a friend in the UK who bought the books on cd :D
This is ashen, I would have to remake the torrent to add the file, for now, its probably best to just leave it as is, if you decide to do another collection/sampler later, we can add a text file or image or something.
I just offered this help to GLD because I read her blog and saw she was having trouble promoting herself AND had tried to stand against the lendink mob....she wasnt to tech savvy so I did the torrent for her.
no, that was the intent, the point as they see it is to allow them to make money off anybody that uses anything related to their patent.....like cutting up chicken.
I submitted a related story a while back, An author I contacted in relation to this story and after having read how hard a time she was having promoting herself decided to share some of her works via torrent, she asked me for help as she is quite.....unskilled at such things.
full story here http://ashentech.com/index.php?topic=3042.msg20253
please feel free to comment on the torrent and/or forums post(its my forums), the author is posting in that thread as you can see.
and please, grab and share the books, I havent had time to give them a read yet, but i can say, shes a very nice woman, very polite, she also stood up against the twit mob as best she could....tried to stop the idiocy.....
Re: Re: Re: Re: Why are Apple suing rather than competing? Maybe...
so your saying apple invented the font.......rather then just evolving the idea into something better/easier?
from my view of this, apple evolved the idea, but they didnt come up with fonts, also if you call this innovation then you must consider what MS and other companies have done to expand truetype and other font types to be innovation.....
again I stand by "apple dont innovate they evolve" they evolve other companies/peoples ideas, and jobs still admitted he was a thief and his statement was clearly not just about parc but about ideas in general.
Re: Re: Why are Apple suing rather than competing? Maybe...
apple never has innovated, and never will....they steal from other companies http://youtu.be/CW0DUg63lqU
jobs flat out admits thats what he does....
i guess you could call the apple IIe(appleII in general) innovation in that, they found a way to make an affordable system that most people could use back then.....but they wherent the first to make a pc....they just made it more userfriendly and affordable.
apple are thieves, its what they always have been, its what they will always be......its why i have less respect for apple then MS at least ms have innovated on occation, and at least they dont pretend they are constantly innovating.....they arent my favorite company(note even close) but at least under gates MS was known to do things to shake up the computing world.....(windows 95 for example....cant tell you how much that shook up the market, i was a young(well younger) tech then....talk about a shock to the system for people use to macos or windows 3.x/dos, sure it had issues, but hell, i never had more issues with 9x(outside ME) then with mac OS 6-9...(horrible os....only nice thing was how easy it was to reinstall the core os....)
jobs admitted more then once that apple and himself stole great idea's, apple hasnt innovated since the IIe days, everything else they have done was an idea stolen from somebody else.
even the IIe wasnt really a "new" idea, it was just taking what was out there, and finding a way to make an affordable computer for the masses.....
apple takes other peoples ideas/work and create idiot friendly/pretty versions of them.....apple didnt create the first smart phone, hell I know people who had plam trio's that are much older then the first iphone.....they suck but they are older.....the ipad came long after gates showed off a tablet running windows.....the ipod is just an idiot friendly locked down mp3 player.....i mean i could go on and on.....
what really bugs me about apple isnt apple, its their users who are, enlarge proud to be ignorant of how the system they use works even in the slightest way, not long ago, i had a fellow bring me a macbook pro that was loaded down with malware shit.....it was horrible, he kept insisting it wasnt possible because that cant happen on apple....after spending a full day cleaning it up (Because he wouldnt just let me backup his data and reinstall) i got the porn dialers and scareware and other crap off the unit
just to have him refuse to pay.....after signing a contract saying he would.....his wife came in about 20min later, asked what the trouble was, got a look of pure fury on her face, paid me(with a nice bonus) and walked out to have a talk with her idiot hubby, after telling me she had quit using mac's for work after they moved to the intel platform because, windows was just as good or better for her work now.....
cant tell you how many mac users i have dealt with who view their mac as a "magic box".....havent really met any windows/linux/exct users who are that deluded..... and i have looked!!!
