Reminds me a little of this: [www.productionadvantageonline.com] Some stage lighting techs use them... I've borrowed one, but it's kinda a novelty, between my leatherman and a c-wrench I'm golden for anything.

75% of our country lives within 200km of that border...

I see what you did there.

Well, sort of. But they make fine lenses and there are no holes in their line-up, so to count that against them as a brand doesn't make much sense.

Hate to disagree, but what are you talking about? Are you talking about Pentax lacking full-frame models? Or lenses? I'm very confused. I'm not even a Pentax user and I'm offended by your dismissal of the company. Not to mention that you completely left out Sony. On top of that "Nikon for stills, Canon for video"?…

I just sat through this complete bullshit video. Dude who made it is completely off his rocker and equates things that have no relationships.

Are you streaming all of this music? I am unfamiliar with Rdio, but I can only imagine the data roaming...

bu-bu-but that kid has lost the protection of his mother's immune system. All it would take is a run in with some kid or person with _____________ (insert completely preventible life threatening condition here) and that kid would be in serious trouble.

I think that this is a great subject to do research on, but we have to be very careful the nut-jobs don't hear us saying things like this. They'll take any excuse to fuck with our hard won herd immunity.

If the manager didn't want to give it up, which I doubt he would, yes she would need a warrant.

My old rugby team and university used "private clubs" as our bars. It was a great way to have underaged kids in the bar, they still couldn't drink, but at least you didn't have to tell a bunch of the team to go home after a hard fought game. Just saying, if you didn't know where to look for the little sign you'd never…

This. This a thousand times over. I don't know why people can't do that. You sent me an automatic e-mail to say that you received my application, so why not send out another saying the position is full. All it would take (even for the most basic of e-mail servers) is a simple subject line search and a short note that…

I already said that there was a temporary insanity defence put in place for the situation that you described, but that defense is use by pleading guilty to the crime. We have to accept that we are expected to control our emotions and when we fail to do so we are committing crimes. I'm not saying that he should be…

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear: I would kill, and I believe it is ok to kill, if (and only if) that is the level of force that is necessary to defend yourself.

Sorry bout that.

sorry all, missed an imporant point. Edited for wrongness.

Well said.

While your link points out some good reasons that social contract theory is a fiction, it's a very useful fiction and one that almost every country is founded upon. Wither or not the theory itself holds water it is one of the foundational beliefs that structure our interactions with government and with other people.…

I know you were limited my the insitution you worked for, but this child sounds like he has a genuine behavioural exceptionality. I'm a special ed. teacher and this boy sounds a lot like many of the students I work with. I know that pain of a student being a danger to others and not having the resources or the ability…

No, you're right, not everyone has that level of control over their emotions. We call those people criminals. We see them behind bars. I'm not saying that this man doesn't have a temporary insanity defence available to him.
