Wish I had modpoints!
This is what any doctor SHOULD do. I suspect that a lot of doctors have a bit of an ego and don't like actually including the patient in their decision making. Those are the kind of people that never should have gotten into medicine - they put their ego above their responsibility to their patient.
The point is, that there are a lot of people who do/did take martial arts classes, and almost nobody in situations where they are inebriated/shocked use those skills. Not to mention, the chance that the assailant has a firearm or knife is higher than you randomly walking around with one on the off chance that something bad is going to happen. Watch Penn & Teller's Bullshit, season 8 episode 3. It covers the reasons why it is mostly useless. Sure, it pumped up your ego to the point that you think you can take on 5 guys at a time, but everybody has daydreams about how they would handle a situation like that. Unfortunately in practice, when you're shocked/scared/being taken to the ground/shot/stabbed etc. you don't really have the wits or the time to think about the proper hold/hand position/fulcrum.
Sorry - martial arts for self defense are, you guessed it: Bullshit.
Other than the audio, you really should be able to do all of that with minimal fuss (depending upon the streaming format that your stereo uses of course). Docx is a slightly more complicated matter, but thats just installing a converter. Your Ipod can sync with the native music player, and you can have your library set to your Itunes music directory (though I have no idea why you would want to use that software.) I haven't personally tried installing a webcam, but I would assume that most webcams are supported. Since you haven't already bought one, you can get one that you know beforehand is compatible.
Sorry about my lack of formatting!
Mother Theresa was a fraud, and for that matter died after having amassed a lot of money that NEVER went to helping the poor and needy. But, yes, she was successful. Hell, she even convinced you and at least 1.166 billion other people that she was a saint!
Err... Rejected? I have to say, I don't know what world you live in. You see, 'normal' people when confronted with historical facts - and having kept up with american politics would probably pay attention. Just because you can use silly red herring arguments to say that in many cases you can come to ridiculous conclusions (which, by the way, any intelligent person would immediately throw out as preposterous) doesn't mean that our representatives haven't repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to support increases to copyright terms and continue to aggressively support 'intellectual property protections.' Inevitably an intelligent person comes to the conclusion that the world isn't binary, there are gradients, and that whether people are intelligent or not, they can come up with logically sound however factually and historically inaccurate statements that do nothing but stroke their ego and support the foundations of their personal ivory towers.
Yes, you CAN use historical and modern events to predict trends. Scientists do it all the time, its part of the scientific method. I'm sorry to say, only an idiot would place fingers in their ears because they don't agree with a particular argument. Now please, use your logic wisely in the future.
My understanding is that every PS3 game is signed with those keys. Therefore, invalidating them through a firmware update would mean that every PS3 game to date will no longer work.
They already have a list of all genuine games signed by the now compromised keys. They could potentially release an update that used new keys but also accepted the old keys provided it had signed something on the already known genuine list of games.
Then it'd be just as easy to make your signed executable look like one of the old games. At this point, they're borked. This is why they should have stuck with the 5 year console cycle.
vcomes after profits, in united states of capitalica
Wait, now it's up to businesses to enforce freedom and liberty? I thought that was the citizen's jobs via their elected representatives?
What you're forgetting is, that businesses are owned and operated by citizens. Oh, you're also forgetting that businesses are considered citizens in the court of law now, shouldn't they be held to the same standard? I mean, why do they get all the perks with none of the responsibility? The Idea that it's OK for businesses to take advantage/not stand up for rights is ridiculous. Then again, I'm sure CEOs, MBAs, and the entirety of the financial sector really like that your attitude prevails. Thats how they get away with the rest of us second class citizens money. Cause it's OK for them to lie, cheat, and steal... How fast would you end up in jail for the shit they pull on a daily basis? If they want the rights, they have to deal with the added responsibility. Or, we could just go back to calling them organizations, not people.
. i dont know there is an economic system which encourages lack of spine more than capitalism.
A much more challenging proposition is to name one that encourages having a spine more than capitalism.
Well, there are silver linings in every cloud. In china, CEO's and public officials are EXECUTED for taking or giving bribes. If they harm the people the government actually DOES something about it. I'm not saying that its all roses and tulips over there, but god-damn, you can't tell me it wouldn't be satisfying to see the government and our representatives grow spines and actually work for us. For some juxtaposition, you have South Korea, which is rabidly capitalistic, and guess what? CEO's found guilty and sentenced to prison are pardoned by their president. You know what the difference is? it's not capitalism - since china is moving towards capitalism as well. Its having people who actually DO their job in the right positions. It's not considering a company to be a separate entity from its top executives. I guarantee you, if we executed a few CEO's the companies would shape up. Then again, I feel that the same is true of our elected representatives. Think about it, the money that they embezzle, the taxes they evade, and the bailouts they recieve are all being stolen from the rest of us peasants. Are you ready for the American version of the French revolution? I am. "Down with the new nobles!"
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
