I'm pro-life. I support the right for women to dispose of parasites that put their lives in jeopardy.

That's what you meant, yeah?

They're being arrested for possession in a state in which it is illegal to possess marijuana.

How is the legality of the purchase of that marijuana in one jurisdiction relevant to its illegal possession in another?

Tax receipts are pretty irrelevant on that front.

erm. Gambling is a noun.

Sorry :(

Carpet munching is protected by the constitution?

It may not be 'a comedy' but it very intentionally includes a lot of comedy elements to it.

Maybe that's my problem. Maybe I like funny films rather than comedies.

First, pointing a finger and screeching 'DENIER' seems a lot like pointing the finger and screeching 'HERETIC', lending credence to the whole environmentalism-as-a-substitute-religion theory.
Beyond that, these scientists might find more traction for their beliefs if they could get away from the folks who are peddling 'solutions' for AGW. You know, the activists who want to make energy so expensive that poor people will have to live in dark, cold homes, and gasoline so expensive that they have to stay in those cold, dark homes.
I imagine, however, that any activist or scientist advocating the use of 'denier/(heritic)' has substituted Gaia for God, and would be very happy to burn their opponents at the stake.
As for me, I'm not qualified to analyze the science. Instead, I'll consider the matter when the people who say it's a problem act like it's a problem. Until their personal conduct matches their words- buying carbon credits ('indulgences') doesn't count- then it's just a continuation of prior climate panics.

You had the change the battery in your watch? How archaic.

Even when I'm not wearing an automatic mechanical watch with no battery, I wear a solar powered watch that charges itself.

I guess the battery in it will wear out, but not for another decade or two.

This is why I now love Sony.

"Why are you IT guys so expensive?" Because otherwise, Sony.
"Why is IT so slow?" Because Sony
"But I can and it's cheap" Yep. Sony.

In house IT isn't expensive because people are stupid, it's because doing it properly, securely, with data integrity, resilience, etc isn't easy, isn't cheap and needs checks and balances that sadly slow the processes.

Or Sony. But hey, it's your business.

You may not care whether 10 million people die in Seoul but generally speaking it would be considered somewhat bad.

So you never outsource your artwork or modelling or packaging or any other part of your development process?

Because other independent developers that I know do. And they outsource to Eastern Europe because the people there speak English and are very very cheap. Which means less work available locally, which means more competition for jobs, which means lower ages. Yet I still have to pay 8 times the fucking price of people in the country that helped write the software?

Sorry but pick option B. It's a global fucking world and I'm fed up with my quality of life being compromised so that people in other countries can get the same benefits for less.

When developers in Russia stop accepting work for companies in the UK then I'll consider giving a fuck about them getting to buy the same fucking products at half the price that they're available to me.

Globalisation has to work both ways.

Yes. San Franscisco, USA.

What, California's now a country? The size of fucking China?

This is the bit that fucks me off.

IT industry wages are depressed because of competition in regions of the world with lower costs of living.

So I get paid less, but I still have to subsidise their fucking computer games? Sorry but that's just fucking inequitable.

This excellent blog article describes a technique developed by Judea Pearl decades ago to do exactly this. Would be interested to understand how this is different/better.

Guys fron San Quentin once attempted an escape with a makeshift canoe painted with the legend "Rub a Dub Dub, Marin Yacht Club!". It sunk and they were re-imprisoned.
