Had to drop off my little girl at day care today. It was her first day. That kind of shit will never get easy. It sucks royally that both parents have to work, which is compounded with a forced trust of the people at the day care.
All night I was awake thinking of this little girl in florida who was abducted and murdered and thrown away like a piece of garbage. This victimization of women and young girls has to stop. I hope they find the fucker(s) that did this. If convicted death by bullet in the mouth in front of the court house will send a message that is needed.
I just cant come up with another solution. There is no need to rehabilitate a person that would kidnap a child and murder her/him. Putting the assailant in jail solves nothing and costs 100's of thousands of dollars. Doing the death row thing is more expensive, which to me makes no sense. Additionally the system of appeals is complete horseshit here in the states. To answer your...

There would be a long lone line if justice to sub human scum like this was metered out this way.

Oh, really?. Now tell me you ARE 1000% certain you're not pulling the trigger on a framed person. Also, if you can wear a hood, then so can everyone else. Besides, practice of corporal punishment in the name of the law always escalates criminal violence. Still want to feel gung-ho after the fact at the expense of future victims' suffering?

ianf I at a complete loss. I am thinking in anger obviously. I have two daughters and I am empathizing with a mother whose daughter was completely victimized and thrown away as if garbage. I just cannot comprehend this level of ignorance. The inability to suppress such urges is sub human. Perhaps it would be better to allow the parents to handle the matter, if they give mercy then a...

It's a natural reaction for many to want to do harm to the sub-human garbage that do this kind of thing. Of course one can't go around taking the law into one's own hands. There has to be a correct process. However, when the scum that did this has been found guilty beyond all doubt, then carry out the sentence.

I would love nothing more than to see some actual competition between palm, or android based phones against the iPhone. I am an iPhone user but it irks me to no end how closed off apple is when it comes to developing apps. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
If you are sick with the flu or head cold or stomach virus then stay the fuck home no one likes that kind of generosity and your contribution to this company is not as valuable as you think it is so quit being a martyr.
I adopted this dog from a rescue group last week. She is extremely skittish and fearful. She has seemed to relax a little bit but still needs some work. She will not eat unless I feed her by hand and she stopped doing that 2 days ago. She has not eaten in 2 days. Any ideas on what I can do now? (via http://friendfeed.com/dog-lov...)

Politician - in reference to the married 54-year-old Republican state representative from California who resigned after being caught on an open microphone bragging about his sexual exploits with two mistresses.

To steal a line from something I saw somewhere on the internet after this story broke (I think I saw it on Gizmodo), it's only a matter of time before someone does a play-by-play on Twitter while committing a felony.

Despite the laugh, I wish police would keep this stuff secret so more people could be stupid and get caught. Although, I'm assuming the stupid people read articles posted on Facebook.

"The manager told her it was company policy not to allow flags on bank property 'because some of our customers might not appreciate it,' Earls said." Really? Have we become this disillusioned by being politically correct? You dont want to offend customers, you are the BANK OF AMERICA, not BANK OF CHINA. Show some god damn respect for the fallen.
I have been programming for 15 years, this is why it appears easy for me to do. It does not mean I need suggestions from you with your experience in sales on how to code the requested task. Please go call someone and sell them something that doesn't exist so that you can come back and ask me "how hard would it be..."
Apple was foolish to use this network. It is not the fastest or most dependable network. I am not arguing in favor of other vendors but AT&T sucks ass.

Why AT&T Killed Google Voice and innovation. These kind of obstacles will put AT&T and other vendors into the same downward spiral as the auto industry. - http://online.wsj.com/article...
http://gizmodo.com/5342954... A lot of it is probably just standard PR misdirection, but both AT&T and Apple are claiming that the Google Voice rejection was a unilateral move by Apple with no input by AT&T.
- Brian Chang
Some people would rather believe Apple than their lying eyes.
- Adi
I'm glad I don't have either an apple product or an AT&T account then. I use Google Voice all the time. Not so much to get free calls, but to use that ONE number.
- Ian May
Similar could be said of T-Mobile in the UK and their refusal to allow any kind of wifi/3g VOIP on their android phones even though it wouldn't lose them any revenue - anyone who has a G1 on T-mobile most likely got the contract option which gives more free minutes than most people use anyway
- Slappy Line
The thing I don't like about the UK mobile phone system is the sucky 07 code shit, where it costs an arm and a leg to call anyone from a landline or other network.
- Ian May
Cross-network calls are normally included in most packages free minutes now, and as most people have mobiles it's easier to call mobile to mobile than landline to mobile. Of course if you only have a landline and you need to call someone on their mobile, your first words should be "landline, call me back. bye."
- Slappy Line
Here I can call anyone on my mobile network for free at any time. My plan gives me 1200 mins a month for other networks. It also gives me 10 favorite numbers I can add in, that are free at any time. Adding my skype to go number, means I can call the UK from my mobile at no extra cost, as long as it's a landline. I haven't had any overage charges in years, and we don't have a landline at all now - that would be a waste of money, and AT&T are expensive too.
- Ian May
If wi-fi was to spread even more, I'd ditch the cellphone altogether, and simply use my netbook and skype for everything.

Fuck him. People like this deserve to go to prison, maybe the stupid bastard will figure out that being an affluent football player and role model is better than being a thug. Live the thug life and pay the consequences asshole. Now have a big gulp from your tin mug of shut the fuck up and bond with your cell mates

I am kind of book marking this for myself. Some of the designs are a bit outlandish; however, I do dig the rubber hose chair. Simplicity.

Hey that is great, the tax payers bailed GM out of a possible bankruptcy and then they turn around and do business with a foreign entity, which doesnt employ any of the tax payers that helped GM. Boycott companies that do this kind of business and force them to go out of business. This is the only voice you will ever have.

I dont really feel like being at work today. Last night I worked on a program on ubuntu called
motion. It is pretty cool and has peaked my interest. I think I will use it with python
and some image magik tools and stream video to my website. This way I can at least entertain myself when I am getting robbed at home.
so after you install that you can write a very simple script to convert the images that are collected into an mpg using the following commands: convert *.jpg somemovieName.mpg and then maybe ftp it to some file server or email it to your work email. Very handy tool.
