and in this case means 'animal rights activist'

Yes, well, it's all about the animals isn't it? I mean, really, if I were to bomb things, burn things down, physically intimidate and threaten people, indoctrinate other people into a cult-like society of violence and terror, but it was for the animals, certainly I could not be called a terrorist, could I?

When they say that CD-Rs "last for decades" they are referring to the CD itself, not the data on it. After all, there are so many things you can do with it other than record data. You could make a frisbee, shuriken, pterodactyl...

If the teacher needs the answer handed to them they shouldn't be teaching the class

I'm a senior level developer, but sometimes I will have someone else check my work. Does that mean I shouldn't be a senior level developer, or that sometimes an additional pair of eyes helps?

I wasn't born yet, therefore that never happened.

Until then, calling Iran "unfree" is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Yes, I remember when people went out to protest and were hacked to death by axes, wielded by the National Guard. It was horrible.

I would say that it's more like someone going into an emergency room with a paper cut and whining about how someone who has just been raped, thrown out of a car at 55mph, run over, lit on fire, then hacked up with machetes is getting treated first.

Not after seeing what a piss poor job it did at actually preventing information leakage.

But many companies are too small to make a signifigant contribution.

And the ones that are large enough to can't get anything through accounting without a proper invoice, a company to pay it to, tax IDs, terms, and contracts.

If people become comfortable experimenting with their machines, they might learn they don't need Microsoft software.

People in general do not want to experiment with their machines. They want to turn them on and have them perform the functions they are used to performing in a way they are used to performing them.

I rarely if ever see any of the TV stereotype nerds. Then again I live in Norway

Your comic book store is filled with NORWEGIANS

sex is only a small part of the time spent together in a relationship.

The rest of the time she can cook and clean.

how many spear injuries has their hard drive taken?

While it's socially ok to think of men as the lesser stupider sex today

It is socially ok, but we all know it's wrong AMIRITE???

I own my car, and I still save approximately $600-$700 per month by taking public transit. I live about 70 miles from work, so a 140 mile round trip through traffic (past two bridges and two tunnels going in to NYC, so add a bunch of time and gas for traffic). I'd have to fill up 2-3x per week at $50 a pop - say $125/week * 4 = $500. It'd cost me $300/mo to park - $800. Additional wear and tear on the car, tolls, more frequent oil changes, yadda yadda, figure $100/mo for that - $900. The train costs me $228/mo, and $100/year to park at the station. It is convenient to my house, and it stops a block from work.

Ontology building services?

I am not sure there is a big market for cancer construction.

Naturally, such a method, if implemented, would be strongly criticised by those who combine capital punishment with fantasies of revenge and view painless executions as unnecessary or even counter to the ideals behind the death penalty.

This might be a bit naive of me, but I kind of view the death penalty as less of a punishment, and more of a euthanasia sort of thing. Say you have a dog that is way too aggressive to be adopted or otherwise rehabilitated. That dog should be put down. I don't want the dog to be tortured to death, just to go to sleep and not wake up. And that's just a dog. With a human, all necessary precautions should be taken to make it not only not painful, but as comfortable as possible.
