1st Thessalonians 4:16

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Prepare accordingly

That's easy.... Dumberer. Didn't you see the pre-sequel?

Oh I know the song...

It just FEELS like "hour after hour work is never over".

I dunno, I kind of like these extensions:

Sony sues US Cyber Command for posting an AACS key (yes I know it's not).

I've gotten a lot of pirated stuff over the years but I also buy the movies/music/games/software/etc. that I like and it being freely available makes no difference.

That sound you're hearing is a large contingent of black cars with dark tinted windows and government plates filled with suits getting ready to knock on your door.

LOL I can't stand Apple personally. But Flash? Adobe has destroyed something that was once a very cool thing. And they did it with shitty code and a development philosophy that completely ignored security concerns and opened one more door for attackers to use that requires no retardation ont he user's part.

All that's required is an adserver that doesn't do a very good job of screening ads that serves ads to a lot of sites and viola.

Instant system compromise.

Be able to open massive security holes in any device or platform! - Adobe

Can we please get to play with some of these emerging technologies before someone goes breaking them? This is why we can't have nice things! You intellectuals and your tinkering....

I cut my teeth on MUDs. I played EQ for quite some time as an Enchanter and quit shortly after Gates of Discord was released because WoW was going to take its place. And now I play WoW. I'm also a bit of an elitist. Guys don't tell me how to play. Usually it's me telling them why they're wrong about (insert game mechanic here), the math behind it, and several links and/or websites detailing data that shows they are wrong and I am right. I've been in Vent before chit chatting during random PuGs (most recently farming rep in ICC) and talk of mage specs came up. I was on my Disc Priest at the time, and asked a mage in the raid if they had a certain talent. This sparked a big discussion about whether or not it was something good to spent points on. The vent admin (who wasn't even in the damn raid) booted me because he was tired of listening to me, and the general consensus was that I didn't know wtf I was talking about. About 3 people came up to me after the run was finished to talk about that and had me log my mage and explain why this particular talent was useful, and the approximate uptime of the buff during boss fights in raids. All 3 of them (male) promptly went to switch the specs on their mages to include that talent. The general attitude of "girls suck at games" is rampant. It's a stereotype, and one that I take particular enjoyment in absolutely demolishing. But then people take the same attitude with guild names too. If a guild name doesn't drip testosterone, then it must be a shitty guild. We've also destroyed that one. Though I still want to find a sponser or something, and form a guild called "Pretty Pink Ponies" or something, maybe a Hello Kitty reference, and try and compete for world firsts. No real good reason other than to see the look on the faces of men who realized they have just been completely, utterly, and thoroughly destroyed.... by a GIRL!

The fact remains that in most sensible implementations, the user is unable to run arbitrary code outside his own directory. /blockquote. I do the same to Windows implementations. It really isn't difficult. I would consider doing that "sensible". So in most sensible Windows implementations, the user is unable to run arbitrary code outside zir own directory. Stalemate.

I have achieved quite a bit in my short life, and I am a product not only of the public school system, but of public schools in the southern part of the USA. From arguably the dumbest area in the country, and from public school.

Yet I'm doing quite well for myself, and during a stint at a very large Fortune 100 company, people were shocked when they found out I didn't have a degree, and that I, in fact, barely graduated high school (damn near dropped out because of how terrible it was).

One's success or failure has little to do with their schooling, and more to do with their own drive and ambition.

Those who WANT to succeed will, regardless of what is put in front of them.

This needs to be modded up.

Any creator of this universe (if any) is necessarily not from this universe, and therefore not subject to its laws (time, causality, a host of other scientifically examinable laws of nature). Science is limited to observable and repeatable phenomena within this universe. Therefore, science can never prove or disprove any outside creator.

America has the best government money can buy.

Obama was voted in to open up our government. He stated bills would exclude pork riders, bills with company backing would include a list of the companies making money off the bill, bills would sit on his desk for 5 days. His long list to open the government up was just election lies.

He is pushing this health care bill through with mandates, people are forced to buy insurance and a public option hardly anybody can qualify for. There are countries that have universal health care that works, our method isn't even close to a working model. All the talk that a bad bill is a good first step, so just shut up and go along with the crowd pisses me off. And if you say anything against it, you are a tea-bagger nut job. At least SNL can start to comment on the lack of progress in this presidents term.

There is a reason every insurance company and drug company wants the bill to pass, no price controls and all citizens must buy health care.

SSDD, follow the money, and most are on the take.

Funny, I'm more upset about the mandatory piece, when I'm not even in the age bracket that will be affected. I have insurance from work. The people just out of school not living at home getting hit with a 200-500 insurance bill. Or the middle class people who just lost their jobs and cant afford to pay the mortgage, and now has to pay insurance on top of it for a family. Good kick to people while they are down. They wont be accepted for the public option, and cant afford insurance, so will be fined with a tax, and have their unemployment garnished..

Of course, what do I know. Just my jaded rambling based on my personal life experience.

You stopped reading a bit too soon. Allow me to repost for you.

I'll refrain from reiterating another point of my original post.
