...how many of these 'concerned parents' are spewing that same data daily over facebook, without a care?

Tangentially related: the other day, my neighbour called up her niece concerned - facebook update informed her that both she and her mother had went to a hospital, and had been there for a few hours. The niece's opening response: "who told you?". She was convinced someone blabbed, when all along was 'use geolocation services' or some such on their phones. They simply had no idea what information they were freely handing out. Have to wonder if some kids had tried to sneak into a bar before, only for their phones to rat them out.

Excuse me while guesstimate the hypocrisy inherent in them refusing something that actually might be of (good) use.

I dated a psychology student once. Now i'm not saying I agree with scientology...

Didn't you just prove his point? Power military that was handicapped by policy...lost a war (i.e. Vietnam).

Previous Korean conflict you had the south and its allies against the north and a shared 'border' as it were: you had friendlies to worry about.. All the NK weapons aim south pretty much, and the Americans wanted to appear moral.

A power just wanting to raze the entire area, uncaring of fallout, could employ much more...effective tactics. The very fact that North Korea claims so much as part of its military just makes them that much more fair game. Russia could slaughter North Korea, it's just a matter of how much political fallout they are willing to endure for those tactics.

Horses are the only thing that flow quickly and easily through the series of tubes, unlike poker chips.

It's even worse... for games like Dungeons & Dragons or Lord of the Rings, steam launches a launcher...which then sits in the tray to download updates and such. From that launcher, the game can be loaded, and it persists past closing the game.. and that launcher is what steam tracks for 'hours played'. What you end up with is steam informing you that you've played the game 168 hours this week... but you never actually had the game on at all. I'm listed at over 8,000 hours in those games, nowhere near the truth.

Plus, it masks any other games you've loaded in the interim (or at least as far as the steam 'in-game' status). Couple this with that a lot of steam games can be played without launching them through steam, and you're left with a completely disingenuous metric.

Dunno... nothing beats the taste of a succulent apple, still quivering on the branch...

Didn't Palpentine have a lot of worlds he propped up with a puppet government that weren't directly in the Empire but might as well been, serving to refuel his fleets and such? Expanded Universe being rather confusing and such for the non-hardcore... but to my knowledge there wasn't JUST empire and rebels..there were a lot of 'neutral worlds' and other alliances and such..that just bent to the Empire due to military or economic power.

The pilot seems to think they were suicidal by the way they were talking; they weren't ignorant there wasn't sufficient fuel for the flight.

"A female passenger on a MBTA trolley who is wearing a skirt, dress, or the like covering these parts of her body is not a person who is 'partially nude,' no matter what is or is not underneath the skirt by way of underwear or other clothing,"

Police soon noted an uprise in kilt-wearing flashers~

Not validating the 99.9999% but I'd say it's a matter of quantity... Japan churns out so much hentai it would pretty much HAVE to minimise the child porn out there (as a ratio)... and plenty seem to involve drawn children.

Is that any worse than the "we only save the cute ones" hypocrisy of a lot of animal activist-y types? (I'm not talking PETA, but the armchair animal rights people). You know the ones munching on a hamburger while decrying dolphin deaths?

What do you have against evolution?

Apparently they aren't the same. Xeriscaping is making a verdant garden using native plants and such; Zeroscaping is minimalist, a more hybrid rock garden with native plants.
