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.

Actually, it's a decent natural filter, any company that wouldn't hire you for such a reason is one you don't want to work for anyways.

True enough, assuming that you are enjoying the luxury of being able to turn down job opportunities.

That said, I'm in the same position as a poster above - I hire programmers. And I also do not give a good god damn how old you are, as long as I believe you will be able to do the tasks assigned to you. I'm also in my mid, er, mid to late 30s, as are most of the people also in my position. So to us, you aren't old, you're still younger than me.

it's hard to operate them lying in bed through one half-open eye. Personally I`m waiting for voice recognition to become practical.

You have a problem looking at your smartphone while lying in bed, but don't have a problem bellowing at your television at 3am?

Silicon Valley is special to me because of its cultural diversity. In one medium sized company you can work shoulder to shoulder with people from every major world ethnic group and every major world religion (including no religion). They work together, peacefully, to make better lives for themselves and their children.

Yes, this is entirely unlike any other place in the world, especially unlike New York. Though here, we're polite enough not to discuss religion at work unlike you rude-assed left coasters.

I would've gone with Eric. Eric the fruit-bat.
