Going back to VHS doesn't help, every time I watch a VHS movie or TV show, I'm accosted by a FBI advert. How do they know I like to pirate movies!? It's just creepy.

It really is a shame that dell had to direct new users towards the windows side, when in actuality labeling Ubuntu as perfect for 'new users' is more accurate. Since they are exactly the people that should be trying Ubuntu. They aren't used to windows already, and likely haven't developed any prejudices towards one piece of software or another, so OpenOffice and CrossoverOffice are just as good as Microsoft Office.

I read the article, hence the quote from the article. Why would the mother pick up the daughter from their own house, and not simply call the cops, or boot the guy out. If it was the mother's house I would assume, she would just call the cops to come get the guy. This is also why I stated that it implies TO ME. It was a simple question, that I was curious about the wording in the article.

What are you talking about? I was merely asking why the girl would need to be 'picked up by her mom' if she was at her own house. The wording implies she was not at her house, it has no bearing on the guy raping her, or the fact that this is an atrocious act. I was asking whether there were some details that were not being disclosed. Simple, not that hard to grasp.

In my mind pedophiles deserve lifetime prison sentences with no possibility of a parole. This guy deserves a couple decades in jail for sure, but it's really not pedophilia.

Are you implying rape of a minor doesn't deserve life in prison without parole, or even rape in itself. In my book they are both equal, and very much deserve the same punishment.

I was actually more interested in why it was worded that particular way. To me

tell her to come pick her up.

implies she was at another persons house and not her own.

This is screwed up regardless and cutting some parts off with a dull knife is def. in order, but

She begged her friend to contact her mother and tell her to come pick her up.

who was living with who? There seems to be more here than is being reported.

Just give the job to the counterfeiters, they'll have it out in a couple of months.

In all fairness that is 3 jobs...

Why would this be modded off topic? It's a valid point, I certainly want someone who can write a coherent document in their specialty, protecting critical sensitive data. Not these idiots who seem like they are just picking buzz words and filling in the gaps madlibs-esque.

Maybe it's just me, but I find 'Psotgres' to be far lacking compared to mysql. Ease of use also counts for something when working with the masses...and yes I am making fun of your inability to spell the very product you're trying to troll with. Fun times.

Damn White men, always putting trees where they don't belong. Honestly, planting trees, what's wrong with you!

Having actually left a pocket knife in my carry on, I was quite surprised that they did in fact find it. It was buried at the bottom of the bag, under a bunch of electronics. I was always under the impression that the x-rays were just eye-candy, however this last experience has actually made me wonder about the usefulness of them, as they no longer seem inept/useless to me. Just my thoughts, -Rob
