  1. she deserves to be able to present her opinion, but we also deserve to be able to harass her for it
  2. why always? there might be some instances where we want to limit free speech, such as disallowing people to yell fire in a movie theater. don't mindlessly accept everything you've been told over since being a child; people have agendas
  3. yeah media making a big deal out of nothing... like her underwear pics... wtf she's a model that's what they do
  4. i can't switch to DSL, first off I payed $100 cable modem installation shit and if I switch then my tv cable becomes unbundled and I pay a shitton more.
  5. check for updates -> download update -> do you wish to install the updates now? -> Yes -> DCME.exe has stopped working error message [close program] -> (double click) DCMEupdate.exe ->
  6. okay! 0.32 has been rereleased. The suspected worm files have been deleted (I still say it was a false positive but who cares they weren't being used); the svn should also be clean. There's also an update to allow continuum-style custom tilesets, and we have a new map and tileset in the test zone thanks to Sass (thanks Sass)!! https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...lease_id=672062
  7. serious question, version is old on subspacedownloads and update doesn't work on vista 64 bit so im stuck with old version
  8. I've never had a problem with the DMV... and I bet you've never had trouble with private sector businesses? The problem root had wasn't with the dmv itself, but rather the test. Are you suggesting that driving tests be determined by private sector DMVs that you're paying for to take the test? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
  9. by that definition drug gangs are useful since they can help you in a time of need. the real question deals with the trade-off between the good that religion does and the bad. case 1: you're a monk your whole life always sacrificing earthly pleasures but your last few hours are better off because you've deluded yourself into thinking your going to be with zeus and the other gods case 2: you're an nonreligious person who has a decent life but is scarred for two hours right before you die which one is better off? obviously these are extremes, with real religious people falling somewhere in the middle.
  10. we shouldn't be spending the money trying to recreate the jobs that were lost, instead we should be creating the jobs for the future. If we spend millions to save newspaper jobs, for example, when the stimulus money runs out the jobs will go away. However, it is unlikely that we won't need medical experts in a few years time. additionally, some short-term jobs such as infrastructure production will generate more jobs in the medium-term, as businesses propagate around infrastructure intersections. ww2 ultimately helped us out of the great depression because we spent money making tanks and bombs which were essentially a waste of money (since they get destroyed when used) which only created temporary jobs. The government paid people to essentially dig holes and fill them in, and occasionally people got killed in the process. Why can't we spend money to create jobs for something that WILL add long-term value? Pandemic flu preparations is one such investment. Although, as you claim, spending anywhere will create jobs, smart spending will create more jobs then dumb spending. Additionally, spending on proper investments will drive growth in the future in addition to short-term job creation. In my view the stimulus was optimized on these two criteria.
  11. Because the economy is unrelated to pandemic disease? You don't think preparedness spending would create jobs? The health sector does create jobs of the future, and is one of the few places that has continued to grow throughout the recession. What sort of spending is the stimulus supposed to be for?
  12. "they consistently, and loudly, objected to spending money to address the potentially devastating economic impact of a major public health emergency." http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat/430261?rel=hp_picks
  13. no you can't since there isn't mutual consent? seems like you answered your own question
  14. ace he wasn't talking to you.
  15. the third world countries had it coming, stop acting like bitches and we'll stop invading
  16. post reasons after voting too
  17. synester why do you think that marriage is only with one person of the opposite sex? is it a historical reason? if that is the case, would you support slavery if it was pre-civil war because it had been around for thousands of years?
  18. Did you confirm it using ClamAV or another virus scanner? Like Sass, I checked for the malicious executable in my system directory as well as the registry keys and don't see it. It may be a false positive, but I took off the binary from sourceforge as a precaution while we figure things out.
  19. that's not good, my virus scanner doesn't pick it up even if I manually scan the file :/. Is the binary release on sourceforge okay?
  20. source or it didn't happen
  21. yes, saying that it's corporate supported doesn't take away from the fact that thousands of people turned out
  22. the government should get out of the marriage business as much as possible.
  23. yes let's ignore every economist's advice and go for another 10 year long depression. i don't like the trillion dollar bailouts / stimulus, but it's better than the alternative. I just hope we've done enough. Debt is preferable to a long recession.
  24. Ahh.. interesting. What version of windows are you using? If you do start -> run -> cmd does it run the terminal? If you do start -> run -> C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe does it run the terminal?
  25. these people aren't using their home computers. It's people who don't (or can't because it's an illegal copy) update windows and get a virus who are relaying this traffic (which in turn, infects more computers). I got the pm
