Relying on Java for anything fundamental is going to bite you in the butt.
PHP is forecast to be very popular going forward. That means your employment prospects are good!
Can they print a whistle in only three hours?
After all, these things go for 25 cents a pop at a party store.
this person had nothing better to do with their life, no outside activities to occupy their time, no significant (or insignificant) other to fool around with, or anything else that "normal" people would do.
Clearly they are so bored and don't have enough work to do that they had to find something to occupy their life.
Congratulations! You are the shining example of someone living in their parents basement.
I'm not sure why you're conflating your understandable disgust over the current state of copyright litigation in the US with issues related to code integrity. There's not exactly a lot of common ground there.
Now if you had mentioned DHS' cozy relationship with the NSA - an organization that most of us expect is actively subverting both code and the standards we rely on - that would make more sense.
The funny thing from my view is we never called it "baling wire", or "baling (anything else)". When we opened a bale of hay, we cut the binders twine that held it together.
I buy spools of what we call tie wire from the hardware store, it appears to be steel wire P in O (pickled in oil) which is stored in oiled paper. A lot of people might call that baling wire, but I'm not baling anything.
Would you care to respond to that, or would you prefer to latch on to a typo somewhere in this post?
Well, you're right, I was in full dick mode. I'm even sorry about it, albeit admittedly only slightly. I apologize for how, but not what I said. Yeah well, that's the best you're getting out of me this morning.
Nobody expects the piracy sites to be legit. But a lot of people think that there are so many of them that their activity can go unnoticed. Those people are about to get an awakening, if they even take the banners seriously.
No one confuses Rapidshare for BMG's official site. People go there specifically to download pirated content, full stop. Seeing police ads might scare a few people with the paranoia of thinking "the man" has caught them, but the other 99% of visitors will just thank the police for subsidizing their favorite warez sites.
I know that this is slashdot, and that you therefore feel justified in being an ignorant idiot and spouting off without RTFAing, and you're in quite a bit of company: lots of other idiots are saying the same stupid shit you're saying. But the article makes it clear that "Neither the police or Project Sunblock are paying the website in question to display the police message". They're just suppressing the banner display, and displaying a police message instead.
Truly pathetic, Boys in Blue (Hmm, do Bobbies wear blue?)
Pathetic is deciding you know how the system works without R'ing TFA, and as a result, being a F'n I.
BRILLIANT!
Said no one about you ever.
same as car and motorcycle drivers,
The argument is that it causes unforeseen health complications, not that it is dangerous. Since the great streetcar scandal, Americans have had literally two choices: own a car, or be left behind economically.
factory workers and owners,
Which provide substantial benefit to others.
smartphone and computer users,
What? You are no longer in left field. You have left the ballpark.
meat and processed food consumers, etc., right?
There is no evidence that eating meat is bad for you, and in fact eating only meat and vegetables has been shown to have immense benefits for some people. Now you've gone from standing outside the ballpark to just being a fucking idiot.
Not all processed foods are evil, although that's the way to bet. But our government has told us to eat them, essentially, so they (we) are on the hook for that one. When it's had anything to say about it at all, the government has told us not to smoke.
When "the rabbit died" she quit until after I stopped nursing.
Yeah, I got the same treatment. But all that means is that we "only" were at developmental risk due to smoking during the first, and most important phase of the pregnancy.
I see pregnant women today smoking and just shake my head. Oh well, it's a free country...even if you aren't quite so smart.
It is not and never has been a free country, the government was designed by a bunch of rich white men who wanted to retain control of it after all. That's why they left themselves various loopholes.
No drugs, I suspect - can't imagine my mother (she's been gone 30 years) doing that!. [...] And yes, I'm normal - why do you ask?
We know you're normal, you believe against all evidence that tobacco is not a drug.
Genetics explains why you look like your father, and if you don't, why you should.
