@ian spiegelman: well with all due respect here, anti-semetic gets thrown around a awful lot when someone of jewish background is losing a fight.
I constantly got accused of running a anti-semetic newspaper when I was in college when my managing editor who approved the stories that we got accused of WAS A JEW ON A STUDENT VISA FROM ISRAEL.
Honestly at this point any jew who accuses someone of being anti-semetic, is in fact a racist bigot themselves.
I dont go around crying racism when someone calls me a dumb pollack.
booooring. not even remotely funny.
@Manok: Guess you missed the hops shortage huh?
Beer is set to rise significantly in the next 2 years due to a terrible crop the last two years.
@Aethyr: Its a space opera. Maybe not as happy go lucky as Star Wars, but then most operas involve the death of 90% of the cast.
Take away the robots and the ships and you could have the same story between two people with no sci-fi elements present. It doesnt make it BAD its not hard sci-fi, not in the least.
But hard sci-fi is defined as fiction FIRMLY based on factual science concepts.
@Aethyr: BSG was never hard sci-fi.
Its not even remotely close to it.
Just because you have no aliens does not make you hard sci-fi.
Could this be because HSBC has no means of actually closing their accounts online?
I tried for weeks to get them to close our savings account since I transfered it to a credit union. Finally I just removed all the money. 2 months later all done!
I think getting ran over is pretty good reason in its own right.
Maybe not 50 shots worth, but certainly 10-20.
Say what you will about the cops, the defendants where scumbags in their own right and the trial bore that out.
1) they fought with people inside the club.
2) They tried to run over the cops who stopped them
Yes the cops went over the line shooting the car up, but they fully had the right to shoot the minute Bell tried to mow one down.
Do we have much further to look than Motorolas running away screaming like a little baby from the cellphone market after one being one of the top sellers IN said market to understand why they fail at life?
@tcp100: yes it is
I dont even use half my minutes (despite using it often at work) have unlimited texting on BOTH our phones and my wife and I STILL only pay 50 each.
For a family of 4 if your bill is over 200 your paying way too much, or you need to be beating the shit out of your spawn for using the cellphone to call all of their dirtbag friends.
@Hamud: and you sir live here? Because I do and I can tell you a thing or two about "disregard" and the fact there is no such fucking thing as "African-American" misery and poverty in NYC. THEY ALL ARE FUCKING POOR, WHITE, BLACK, LATINO, ASIAN.
The simply IDEA that being black and poor and being white or latino and poor make you different makes you a racist idiot.
@DorothyMantooth: Yep say what you will here about any of this, the blame for losing this case is squarely on the victims choice of prosecutor teams whose main goal was political advancement and not ACTUALLY PROSECUTING THE DAMN CASE.
Seriously even a first year law student could have made this a slam dunk case yet this team used it to advance a political agenda which bit them in the ass when the past of their clients was called into play.
Hell the defense even got their most credible witness to admit on stand they rammed the cops before any shots where fired, making it outright protection.
If anyone is to blame for this fuckup its the victims themselves for being fools into letting it become a political hotpoint
@Rando: You know, while people on this site seem to have this mantra of "invest ALL your money." even investment houses will tell you that you should save SOME money for yourself to make yourself happy.
500 over the course of 2-3 years is not bad for something he loves.
You have any games on that computer of yours you are using? Same can be said toward you, unless your stealing them in which case you have a whole nother set of issues that we need to address here.
@CaliforniaCajun: Seagates SUCK. I constantly am pulling them out of our systems and swapping them for WD drives. They fail on average 1 every month, maybe 2-3.
@mferrari: 2.5 billion and you forgot to think about software they make and their DSs.
@willyolio: not unless Nintendo can pull in another 6 billion they wont be.
That being said they never would. Nintendo is a die hard Japanese company and its a point of national pride they never sell themselves.
nice should be getting mine next week then if it goes by when you mailed it in
they flat out said it on the Today show this morning. Its not about ability and never has been, its PURELY about ratings and personality.
I have had many experiences with Disney on vacation that have proven to me they are wonderful.
1) While away for my friends wedding at Disney, we ended up at the best mans hotel till almost 2. At that late a hour we had to pray we could get a bus to Downtown and still be able to make it to our hotel otherwise taxi time. The busdriver for the downtown stop actually drove us to our hotel without even saying a word. We tried to tip him but they are not allowed to take tips sadly.
2) When going home from that same trip, we missed out "Magical Express" bus since it was one of the ones they use for the cruse line, and not a standard ME bus. Our hotel manager pulled 60 dollars out of the register and called a cab for us to Orlando without even giving us a hint of a attitude, apologizing to us for what was basically our mistake. Again refused my tip no matter how hard I tried. (after this trip I sent a email to Disney commending both of them with the hope they might get some reward from their bosses)
3) On our Honeymoon, 6 months later, they practically showered us with stuff. Free deserts and champaign, all kinds of certificates autographed by "Mickey and gang" etc. There was not a day the entire week we didnt get something from a staffmember because it was our honeymoon.
Needless to say, despite not even being that into Disney these days, my two trips to WDW have been two of the best trips my entire life. I didnt once worry about a thing while I was there, which is rare for me.
@RobotVampire: well it goes to show you, never let a professor try to pretend hes a businessman.
@liveinvt: inflammable means the same as flammable everywhere smartass.
-Usage note Inflammable and flammable both mean "combustible." Inflammable is the older by about 200 years. Flammable now has certain technical uses, particularly as a warning on vehicles carrying combustible materials, because of a belief that some might interpret the intensive prefix in- of inflammable as a negative prefix and thus think the word means "noncombustible." Inflammable is the word more usually used in nontechnical and figurative contexts: The speaker ignited the inflammable emotions of the crowd.
