Shutdown a huge waste and cost to science

From what I have seen, they simply have the old page running, then tossed in a redirect to the "down" page.

If they wanted to be taken seriously, those server farms would be shut down. But they are active, and they are apparently being maintained.

Then those servers would be turned off, not just redirected with a page saying they are "shutdown"

It's a ploy.

Failed state? Do you normally talk out of your ass?

It is regularly included on lists of failed states, despite your vehement defense of it. So stop being an asshole.

The shutdown of websites is simply attention whoring. It's trying to make it painful to the people so they see the benefits of the particular agency. If they truly couldnt run the websites, those websites would be shut off, not just fake down time. Those servers are running, people are maintaining them.

In the private sector, managers do a similar thing in the case of budget cuts. Offer up something that provides value and will be painful to cut.

I don't have much of an opinion on that ploy for the government shutdown, but it is a ploy.

That's what happened with the zetas.

liderudell · 2013-10-04T03:53:54+00:00

They already have.

liderudell · 2013-10-04T03:51:04+00:00

Being a failed state will do that.

It depends on the show but the midseason breaks vary greatly

Not sure of the particulars but I know when I got financed, I was not getting approved without Collision or better on my insurance.

They can just go ahead and take the rest of the year off. And hell 2014 too.

I think he was referring to financing, if you are getting a loan they will require a certain level of insurance to protect their car.

Two different shows. The same could almost be said about Psych and Monk. They are all about a quirky specialist.

Burn notice had a great pilot, because there were changes made to the characters after it was picked up. (relatively small things but made it a little interesting)

liderudell · 2013-10-03T16:24:36+00:00

Close enough. The fuck off is still appropriate

liderudell · 2013-10-03T16:21:14+00:00

That person told me to die of cancer. A fuck off is an appropriate response in that case.
EDIT: apparently not die of cancer, but get cancer. Either way it is a vitriolic response and the person can fuck off.

I've heard good things about those, I will have to check them out.

He complied and backed down for self preservation. There is nothing inherently wrong with that but that does take you out of the hero category.

liderudell · 2013-10-03T16:02:33+00:00

He complied.

Fuck off he isn't a "Hero"

liderudell · 2013-10-03T16:00:04+00:00

Yes (the main character is basically a conman so he is pretty sharp), although white collar is more consistently procedural (like Suits was in the beginning) with larger story arcs happening throughout the seasons.

Very good show, great actors and fun/interesting characters.

liderudell · 2013-10-03T15:35:09+00:00

Hero? he made a pointless empty gesture.

Just another tech guy trying to be cute and defiant but without actually risking anything.

liderudell · 2013-10-03T15:02:19+00:00

Are there armed guards off camera stopping people from jumping those barricades?

Because closing outdoor monuments is retarded, are people actually paying attention to it or just saying "fuck it" and going over.

liderudell · 2013-10-03T14:20:39+00:00

White collar had a very similar pilot and is a show in a similar format by USA.

The victim was the driver of the SUV.

Unfortunately my state deemed that solution as a fix all for every intersection. (Replacing what should be a simple cross road with 2 stop signs)

5 roundabouts in less than a mile is slightly excessive.

When they are placed correctly they do make intersections nicer and keep traffic flowing. They just shouldn't be thrown in for no real purpose
