Did you read your links? Sony didn't make it past the round of 16 in the worst company in America contest. BP and Bank of America were the two worst,

The FRESH AIR service is over rated. It's polluted by too much reality programming.

The Taliban have a long history of working with Primates. As early as 2001 they were well documented as working with one Johnny Chimpo (aka Johannes Chimpo) who would run around with his butler doing naughty things. Luckily for them his butler was there to persuade him to not let the great Satan tempt him with western culture and that he must remain true to his Taliban warlords. You can find out more about this and the Taliban's Primate related connection with the American drug trade from the documentary described here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247745/

Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of quantum transistors in this country. The University of New South Wales' Centre for Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT) Mach7 was the quantum transistor to own. Then the other guy came out with a seven-atom transistor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach7Turbo. That's seven atoms and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened--the bastards went to six atoms. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling seven atoms and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're doing 5 atoms!

Horton Hears a Who? Come on. These theories are crap. The answer was given many years ago by a very wise fellow. I quote: "Time is an abstract concept created by carbon based life forms to monitor their ongoing decay" -Thundercleese.

Actually they do. There were numerous times in Iraq that we would shoot at mortar rounds or artillery rounds until they blew up, usually using 7.62 from the inside of a tank several hundred meters away. Of course it may have had something to do with the tracer rounds and may not apply to normal ammunition, we never really bothered to thoroughly test.

I'm with you. Time is a measurement of movement, not a dimension that can be moved back and forth within. As the great Thundercleese once said, "Time is an abstract concept created by carbon based life forms to monitor their ongoing decay!"

I don't think you're looking at this in the right light. For one, you're going to end up polluting the air by burning all that plastic in the volcano. Two, who is going to pay for it? It's not economically viable. I have a much better solution. That big boat forms blocks with round protruding bits on top. The smaller boats then position them next to each other in the sea. The helicopter then places certain blocks on top of each other. The end product looks like this! It is then leased out to pirates as a hideout.

Since when do RedHat exams have answers? They are all practical tests now (and have been for a long time I think). The "questions" are:
1) boot this computer, doesn't work? Fix it. Still doesn't work? Fix some other stuff.
2) create some users and give them access to this and that
3) install and configure this program and that program
4) now install this infrastructure resource and make it work
5) hurry up and finish, you're almost out of time!

FWIW Microsoft has even added some practical content, but they are nowhere near as good as the RedHat exams.

Criminals should be punished commensurate with the harm their actions cause. The fact that you can imagine the same act causing less harm if some other victim were substituted isn't a defense. It's like defending yourself at a murder trial by saying "sure, I shot that guy in the face; but I shouldn't be punished for it because if the victim had been a midget, instead, the bullet would have passed harmlessly overhead. It's his fault for being so tall."

It doesn't make any sense. There's no provision in criminal law that I'm aware of for "affirmative defense by substitution of hypothetical victim who would have been harmed less by the same action."

You're right it doesn't make any sense, because thats not what I'm advocating. The crime of burning a cross on someones yard should be punished the same regardless of race, religion, sexuality, ect. If it can be proven that the crime terrorized the community then separate terrorism charges should be leveled against the offender, in addition to the original charges. The original offense of burning the cross should be treated the same regardless of race though. To treat it in any other way is racism in itself and is just plain wrong in my mind.
