Just imagine that the Lego world is filled with many, many women with butch features (and sometimes stubble). While the obviously and stereotypically female figures are actually men in drag fondling their inner maiden.
I eagerly await the future Lego bird-wildlife sets!
So my crocodiles can feed on something.
"The first rule of car recall decisions is: you don't talk about car recall decisions."?
Without reading the article (as is usual on
If not, expect a repetition in 3, 2, 1, 0 years.
The first part 'loss of life' should already be covered by simply applying murder and/or manslaughter charges. There is no reason to invent a new law for this, only because it's done with a computer.
The second part 'threat to the country's national security' on the other hand is such a broad term, it is basicly a blank check where they can fill in any sentence for any crime as they wish.
So I guess it's really about the second part, and the first part is only there to give it more weight: 'HACKERS MIGHT KILL YOU!'
Considering how sharp badly finished cheap computer case parts can be, it should be totally possible to commit manslaughter or murder by literally hacking up the victim using a computer case sidewall, provided the case is not made from third-rate aluminium.
I wonder whether such a case would fall under this suggested legislation.
And you wonder why Scotland wants out of the UK?
Look, the topic is about cyber attacks, not accidentally flashing people with your unmentionables every time you walk up the stairs while wearing a kilt.
Well, considering the damage various wars have caused to the faith in crown and country, some politicians should be very GLAD there's no death penalty for high treason anymore.
Such as the one whose name is an anagram for "B-liar"?
Or try taking a screenshot... what was that obnoxious key combo again? That's right... it makes no sense and can't be remembered by a mere mortal.
Meet Grab: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grab_(software) . Very handy, and it has more options for screenshots than just hitting whatever the key combination for taking a screenshot is.
I completely agree. OSX has a poor user interface. Their "Save screen real estate by only having one pull down menu" made sense when we were running on 320x200 screens. At that resolution, a pull down menu took a significant percentage of the screen real estate, and everyone was using a single screen. Today, screen real estate is abundant, and multiple monitors are common. With the single menu, there is no good visual cue to indicate which of your many open windows the pull down menu will affect.
What "one pull down menu"? Do you mean the menu bar, or are you mixing up iOS and OS X?
This is a poor UI giving poor usability. Putting removable media in the trash is the movement for ejecting the media? Total brain dead UI.
There's at least two other options to eject removable media: Command-E and clicking the Eject button. So if you don't like trashing removable devices, just use one of the others.
Sounds like you are complaining about a OS you either haven't used at all, or haven't taken the time to explore (which, given that this is Slashdot, would be very curious).
I frankly don't see the use of coming out with major new OS versions when the previous one's latest service pack (which was also FREE) still has major bugs.
The laptop I'm writing this on is running on OS X 10.4.11. I also have a MacBook Pro, which runs 10.8.5 and has at least two major bugs that aren't fixed in 10.9.2 and that weren't present in 10.4.11 (since they were introduced in 2012). I don't expect them to be fixed in 10.10, even though one means I have to reset my cable modem any time I hook up the MacBook Pro because the DHCP lease renewing is broken. The other bug is a deep sleep issue that appears to corrupt my data upon wake. Sure, these modern OS X versions LOOK nicer, but they are NOT better than older versions of OS X. And instead of fixing such bugs, Apple blames the customer if they complain.
This is what I get out of these articles:
| Women, especially nerds, are horrible, mean, vicious people and all women should be treated as such at all times. Men, on the other hands, are always innocent victims of abuse, are always under threat, and must live their lives like they are about to be abused because women.
So, men, do us all a favor, and just stop. Stop interacting with women. Stop talking to women, stop dating women, stop having sex with women, stop marrying women. Just stop, because if you hate and fear women so much that is exactly what any sane person would do.
I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing how there is something intrinsically wrong with me and that I should be feared because I have two X chromosomes. Fuck you too. I haven't hit, let alone abused, any man, ever. I have been hit three times by a man and not once did I retaliate as I could have. I took it. But, if I had hit him back, I would have been the bad guy.
If men wouldn't reward the behavior of bad women, then there wouldn't be so many bad women, but, as we know, men love bad girls right up until that bad girl is bad to them. When that happens to a man, he thinks back to all the bad women he has dated and concludes all women are bad because the problem couldn't possibly him and his choices.
Don't want to be abused or get beaten? Don't be friends with or date immature, over-entitled, sociopathic bad girls with a history of hurting other people including men. Start looking at character instead of boobs, or clothes, or height or sports. Stop going to clubs, getting wasted, and giving your number to that hot girl in the sick shirt, let alone banging her in a one night stand. Find a better place to meet girls or shut the fuck up about how horrible the women you fuck are because that is you having shallow and/or bad taste.
Oh, and when you get drunk and then go home and fuck a girl, you weren't conned. You were irresponsible. If you can't keep your pants on and cock covered when you get drunk, don't get drunk.
Funny, how changing the gender doesn't really change the message...
I'm pretty sure the number of assholes is exactly 100%.
After all, every human has a mouth and digestive track that needs an exit.
They are also turned off by bad social skills, bad physical health, and the inclination to play video games and study all day every day (rather than going out and doing something fun with friends).
I think you will find that there is a lot of variation in this. Some female friends (that is, friends who are female, not girlfriends) I've had were quite the gamers, even mentioning that they had a lot of fun with their (boy)friends playing games the whole day. Some women find bad social skills endearing, which might be motivated by "I can make him better" (usually doesn't work) but also by "I want to protect him"-motherly feelings. The latter can be scary. Bad physical health is also not necessarily a problem, especially if she also has such issues (= identification with someone who can understand).
However, what generally is a big turnoff is males trying to force all women into a single mold, where they all have to match an idealized and unrealistic standard. Don't put women on a pedestal, see them for who they are.
Real Programs don't use shared text. Otherwise, how can they use functions for scratch space after they are finished calling them?
