I agree! It's a good thing that your statement has 50% less disagreement.

Beacause it had at least 50% more trolling.

Option 1 should be used in some form for any hardware repair job. Remove disk, replace with disk containing freshly installed virgin OS. Beside the frustration of having to deal with idiots telling you that software that isn't specifically allowed automatically invalidates the warranty (and I have been told this by HP Proliant server support staff regarding Redhat, a flavour of linux that they readily supply support for on their website), who knows who is going to end up looking at your hard drive? I'd rather not have the hard drive of a machine I use for internet banking in the hands of someone I don't know. Plus, when they are finished with it, they WILL wipe the drive and install a fresh OS. If yo have anything you want to keep, take the drive out.

Whoa, easy there. That could be misconstrued.... and if you were referring to the homo genus, homo sapiens neanderthalensis was a member.

Do we know that for sure? The linked article requires a subscription, but if it is the same as this story then it was based on an analysis of the DNA of a single individual from circa 5000BC, who was closely related to northern Europeans but was living in Spain. There are many interpretations one could make from that: that all Europeans were similar to this man, that this guy was of mixed parentage and was relatively unique, that he belonged to a splinter population that got wiped out... I am sure there are many other plausible hypotheses. At the end of the day, you are trying to make a guess about the entire population of Europe from a sample size of one individual near Europe's borders. Was this some other study, and if so can you provide some details please?

Everyone pays for everyone else's children. Since he has been found by the court to be financially responsible for the child, is he going to be given the normal tax breaks associated with dependents?

Could restate your opinion in a way that makes some semblance of logical sense? I have no idea what property rights in America you claim "European busybodies" are infringing by refusing to sell to murderers.

Obscene and tasteless? Ok, fair enough, I just looked at the headings so I missed the "avoiding detection" bit, but that is ridiculous.

I just looked at that list, and cannot see a relevant category.

Wrong. The photoelectric effect explains how electrons energized by photons can escape their atomic bonds. It does not involve photons being converted into electrons.

The FSM is an expression of a sincerely held belief.

Even more than the inevitable cash grab, I'd be worried that this kind of payment scheme would lead to a lack of investment in upgraded infrastructure. If people get charged per bit, they will use less. Less demand leads to less upgrading of lines, and the people who do actually need massive data throughput, for stuff like, for example, off-site redundant systems, can't actually get what they need at all. People will always get charged for what they want compared to what the average is, no matter how much it would cost to upgrade everyone to that level. As an example of that: about 5 years ago a customer was paying â1k a month for a fast (for here) no contention line. Now you can get the same speed with 5:1 contention for about â30 a month.

Related to the above and regarding the title of the article, why would big Silicon Valley heads care if Washington DID implode? They are all sitting on massive warchests of "foreign" money sitting in US dollar accounts in American banks beloning to their foreign subsidiaries for tax avoidance purposes. This money will NEVER be brought home (in terms of paying tax: it is actually back in America), it just sits there piling up, acting as a bank account, and when someone cashes in his shares he pays longterm capital gains on the value of his shares, which includes a bit of that massive pile of cash. Now, if the debt ceiling is breached.... US treasury bond interest rates will go up, and bank interest rates will rise as a result. Good result if you have several tens of billions of dollars to put into a long term deposit account.

Which one? Taxation to support an oversized army, not having a big enough army, climate change, or having the Greeks in charge?

This article from a few weeks back could provide a possible entry point for beginning to decipher texts like that. Since it relies not on dictionaries, but rather the relationships between words, it may be possible to narrow down the meanings of words in unknown languages into smaller groups of possible translations, or at least I imagine so from reading it.
