That would be the reason that when you browse a carriers online store you see the price of the phone and the discounted price with a contract at the same time.
Some people just want attention, I guess.
Sorry, but a "meme" is a picture of a humorous animal with a joke in Impact font at the top and bottom. The word used to mean something else, but that definition got outcompeted by one that was better at replication.
You're WAY off. Arial is the font of choice.
We have a lovely convention centre here in Vancouver, built and opened for the 2010 Olympics. In Bing maps unfortunately it is still at the piling stage
Bing bing bing! We have a wiener!
What tells a player a door is locked and will open, as opposed to a door that they will never open?
Why include a door in a game at all if it will never open. Isn't that really more of a "wall?"
No, really... this is getting nuts.
I get the whole general protection of the average citizen from crimes, but we really need to shrink the reach and scope of these bastards.
You make an interesting complaint but you provide no argument or evidence that the government doesn't have a good reason to propose this rule... Note the word propose... Doesn't mean it will actually get implemented. Don't let facts get in the way of your libertarian fantasy, though.
I think part of penguinisto's point is that there should be no need to come up with an argument against random bullshit like this. But perhaps you should read TFS since it presents the argument you ask for.
What? Militias aren't some Libertarian fantasy force. Militias are what countries with limited resources used in lieu of a standing military. They're also all but obsolete in a world where military technology has advanced to the point that private citizens can't be expected to field their own effective arms (at least no one I know owns a Javelin "just in case...".
Militias are what people formed in the revolutionary war when the people revolted against their own government.
What IS going to be effective? I'd argue that nothing done in relation to google glass, getting upset about it or being cool with it, will revive privacy.
I'd say businesses banning the device on their premises is a good start. Admittedly, I'm not full of ideas - but I'm sure complacency is not the answer.
And how about we quit acting like this is the end of privacy and not CCTVs or the NSA.
So, ignore it and maybe it will go away? I don't think that's going to be effective.
That said, naming names of an engineer is a really bad precedent. What is the goal GM is trying to achieve here.
I hope that was a rhetorical question. It's obvious they are trying to create a scapegoat.
could move to Minecraft?
I was thinking of World of Warcraft. They could join the Chinese in gold mining for that game. Real mining -> Virtual mining. It's a natural progression.
The fragmentation is the problem though. One month it's a wierd bug in gcc, next month it's about how to do streaming, next month it's a game, etc.
The real problem I have with forums/boards is the completely awful interface. They don't always keep track really of what I've read or not read, I don't get notified if there's a response to my question, and so forth; and when they do that stuff they often do it in a clumsy way and every site does it differently. Then I have to remember a zillion passwords too.
I haven't had problems with the cookies getting lost on most of the forums I use. I also tend to use the same password, because really it's not like a forum account is all that important. If it does get compromised to the point I can't or won't use the account anymore, I'd just get a new account. Most forums that I frequent use vBulletin or one of the free clones (phpBB for example), so I'm pretty used to the interface. I guess all that stuff is a matter of preference.
The solution to unfair discrimination is not more unfair discrimination.
Really/ Because in the example provided it worked, and in fact was not unfair. The results were that men and women were awarded jobes on an equal footing.
Just because an equal number were given jobs does not mean they were given the jobs on an equal footing. These days, women and minorities can get the same job as a white male but with fewer qualifications. Things are deliberately done that way to "equalize" the work force. The end does not justify the means, and it is definitely discrimination. It just seems to be the kind that you like.
Not that I'm all that opposed. The result is there are more women in my office! Good for them, good for me.
