Thread locked. While this is admittedly funny, no discussion can possibly arise from a 4chan raid that is appropriate for TIF.

I am surprised this guy pled guilty to the charges - the laws against drawn CP were struck down by the Supreme court awhile back (as the article said) which means he wasn't actually charged under that but rather under "obscene material" laws, which are extremely weak. Only a handful of people have ever been convicted under the law (I can only think of 2 in the past 50 years)

I wonder how they managed to arrive at the conclusion that Obama is responsible for ethnic tensions in Sri Lanka, of all places. I saw that exact same protest when I was there on Thursday. They've been at it for awhile :lol: I was there on Friday. :lol: At the same time, we obsessively took pictures of the White House. But my friends compared the protesters posters to a certain part of Encyclopedia Dramatica. -.- This is a bit off topic, but by any chance did either of you two see the anti-nuclear hippie there? In the past couple years I have been to D.C several times, and this old hippie is always out in front of the White House protesting Nuclear weapons.

You people all have such reasonable school times. I go from 7 AM to 3 PM - far, far too early if you ask me, but apparently it is one of the top high schools in the state.

Read the contract you signed. As a rule (in the US anyway) it must be explicitly stated in the contract the terms under which the contract expires / you can get out of it. If the lease is for a specific term (9 months, in your case) the contract usually automatically expires. If they are demanding that you sign a new contract (IE not the original one) if it is in any way different from your original one you must explicitly agree to the new terms, or it is considered to be void.

He's not bad - as a right wing conservative radio host he does say some strange things, but taken as a whole most of his shows are entertaining and informative radio from a conservative perspective, similar to Rush. He has a job because like every other popular entertainer, he has plenty of fans - something like 10 million regular listeners.

This sounds like one rogue judge - in the US there is no law requiring people to identify themselves to the police, or indeed talk at all, and legally people can only be held for 24 hours before they must be released or have charges filed against them (and be informed of the charges). As said above, the ACLU will have a fun time with this.

It has been quite a long time since I had my mouse fixed, so I don't recall anymore although i am almost positive they have an 800 number.

Did you call Logitech? I own an MX revolution mouse as well, and when I had a problem with the scroll wheel (similar to yours) they told me it was a common defect in early hardware revisions, and they cross shipped me a new one so I wouldn't go without the mouse. Extended the warranty another year too.

It's too bad they are a racist - things like "whites only" just hurt the number of people voting for them. Aside from that however they seem like a fairly legitimate party that wants to reverse many of the more backward policies in the UK.

I agree with the above posters - a saying and a quote are essentially the same thing, so please use that thread. Locked.

I never saw the point in them. The school I attend right now has no uniforms, and it's one of the top 3 high schools in the state (and is public). I don't see any problems that could possibly be fixed with such things, so, as they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it.

The difference between, say, water and bandwidth is that there is no increasing cost as you use increasing bandwidth - while water may cost a penny per cubic foot to treat and pump, internet bandwidth does not work that way - either an ISP has enough or it does not. This is why any type of bandwidth cap on systems outside of certain special situations (like satellites, where bandwidth limitations can be a problem) is nothing more then a creative attempt to price gouge customers; most ISP's run nowhere near network capacity, and if they do upgrades to the network are very, very cheap.

Like most of the extremley expensive science projects built in the past 50 years, it was constructed to model nuclear weapon effects. It is an extremley interesting device.

Two things - First, people need to get back on topic. If the stereotyping and complaining about the existence of the thread continues, warnings will be handed out and the thread will be locked. Second, I recently saw a description of how exactly they freed the captain, and those snipers must have been excellent shots. Even though it was from relatively short range, the fact that they made three simultaneous headshots from the rolling deck of a ship at night while missing the captain only inches away is amazing.

While it may seem that the Iranian people hate the US in particular and the west in general, the whole thing is overblown - just like most of the world, most Iranian people are quite happy with Obama, and the Iranian government has been paying people to attend the death to Amerikka rallies for years (as people wouldn't otherwise go). Obama's election and the falling price of oil have undermined much of Ahmadinejad 's domestic support.

Nvidia makes only a very small handful of laptop chipsets; and all of the ones they do make come with a descrete graphics card built in.

First off, you couldn't sell your current computer for much of anything - computers have essentially no resale value. As to your new computer, that is not a particularly good deal, but I may just be off since prices are generally significantly higher in Europe compared to the US. Finally, what do you define as "good" games? Runescape or Crysis? The computer could run games like world in conflict or crysis at medium - low settings just fine, but not much above that.

The SAT was easy. I took it in 8th grade (last year) and scored a solid 2300.

As did Vermont today. here. It appears that the barriers to gay marriage might finally be falling en masse.

Correct. Please post on one of the above threads rather then starting a new one. Locked.

This does not surprise me. Because of the nature of the UN, the arab states often force through resolutions that are; put simply, crazy. As usual people will ignore this one and move on.

Statistically around 1 in 20 people are homosexual; in the US alone that makes 15 million people. You are hardly a freak.

Locked. Please use the sticky mentioned above rather then posting a new thread.
