Case in point, there is this guy I came across. To make it worse is that he would even copy and paste the same post in many other comments sections as well. I really hope it's a troll or otherwise, he needs a help from a therapist for all I know.
Seen anyone like this guy?
No? Like maybe on 4chan for the sake of trolling, outside of that I've only seen people in Tech Support forums reply to themselves to update a situation when Editing isn't an option.
I hope they're not black, because I'm getting really tired of hearing "WHITE PEOPLE SHOOTAN BLACK PEOPLE IS SO UNJUSTIFIED, WHO CARES IF HE HAD A GUN, HE DIN DO NUFFIN".

And you know what? A lot of people in the world won't either.
Foreign countries have become conditioned over the years to associate films led by white, American actors as high quality, Hollywood material.
If they see a bunch of Asian faces, or Indian faces, or whatever, then they just think "This is something I could get from any local movie."
Personally, anyone who is farmilar with the source material will probably feel the same as Takei on this one.

It being a disability doesn't mean it's not your fault, just that it prevents you from doing things a normal, healthy person can.
Think of it like bashing your own knees in with a hammer. You'd definitely be disabled, and you'd also definitely be to blame.
Yes, but the issue comes when we recognize being obese as something "the rest of society should take care of".
It makes absolutely no sense to me how any group of rational people can say "Yes, the rest of our society should cater to people who eat themselves into oblivion and are too fucking lazy to walk a few extra steps in their parking lot"

Not good. Basically, this law will allow local law enforcement agencies to tap/obtain anything they want from private communiations without warrants, sopenias, etc.

I'm not doing anything complicated enough to worry for now.
Hate to bring up a thread that's kind of already been solved, but I'd like to make a point on something. Don't be afraid to screw around with trying new things, especially if you're just taking on a personal project and not under the gun to get it done or anything.
When it comes to programming, you'll find tons of situations where you'll have multiple solutions to a single problem. One solution might be better than the others and some might have the same end result across the board. It helps though, to understand multiple solutions to a problem because a certain solution may work next time where the others won't.
Generally, tooling around with stuff means screwing it up, figuring out why it's screwed up, and then fixing it. In my personal experience, however; that's the basis for learning how to program. Trying something, failing miserably, learning what screwed up and then fixing it.

The law stills holds someone accountable for their actions under the influence of alcohol/drugs. If it's your first time drinking, you don't have to get black out drunk. It's called self-control.
bullshit. a melee weapon is not a gun. it takes time for someone to reach their target using melee, which gives them a marginally larger window of time to whip out a taser instead. and that's if they are indeed threatened on a daily basis, which i highly doubt. well, i suppose it depends on the city... still, in my city the lethal-type crime rate is low.
where is this, albuquerque texas? wait, utah? what the fuck... i despise my mother's religion all the more now...
First - what does religion have to do with any of this? Also, a melee weapon can still be deadly, however; the lethality of a weapon is irrelevant to my point. My point is, if you're dumb enough to attack a police officer. I honestly couldn't care less if your stupid ass got killed.
Why are we trying to retcon Terminator?
T2 was the pinnacle and the end. I would be perfectly happy if they just rereleased T2 to theaters every few years. Fuck, I'd go see it. I made it half way through T3 and said "Nope."
T2 sealed the plot perfectly. There was nothing that needed to be addressed any further.
Why?

It's against NYPD policy, but not illegal. So you can't charge him with a crime if the law doesn't exist to make it illegal. If you want to charge him with a crime for choking someone, then you need to pass a law that makes it illegal. This law does not exist in NY.
basically, the jury saw something that was illegal and resulted in someone's death and said "nah it's cool"
It would be a shame if something like this passed. I honestly can't believe that our society as a whole doesn't look at situations like this and go "Oh well, the officer is trying to arrest him and the idiot is struggling." but instead it's "OFFICERS SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TOUCH PEOPLE, THEY'RE BREAKING THE LAW BUT DON'T TOUCH THEM." How do they realistically expect officers to be able to enforce the law against people who resist/intend to hurt officers without hurting them?

No. This isn't the 60s, no one gets shot for being black. Saying "ALL THEM COPS ARE RACISTS" get more and more ignorant every time I hear it.
Personally, if you're fucking dumb enough to assault an officer I believe they should be able to take any means needed to defend themselves.
What if they're drunk or high blah blah blah
Then you shouldn't have gotten so drunk/high that you pose a threat to people as a whole?
Use common sense, people are actually trying to kill Police Officers on a daily basis. They know this, so they have to be on edge at all times because it only takes once to get killed. Use your brain and don't make the officer feel as though their life is threatened.

The group also hinted at a greater attack to come on Christmas.
Putting our silly console allegiances aside, I posit these questions:
Why the hell would anyone do this?
Is there a purpose? Are we supplanting BitCoin and other e-currency with lulz? Can we now buy things with lulz?
How many lulz would it take to purchase this for Christmas?
If there is no socio-political agenda to a cyber-attack, nor any financial gain, outside of gaining notoriety and attention, is there any fucking point whatsoever?

No. Typically there is no reason other than "I enjoy watching other people suffer." The best thing to do is to just walk away and wait it out. I wouldn't waste the biological resources to worry about it too much, it serves no good.

I love certain contributions of Japanese culture. Kinda like how I'd love to visit Europe to sample food and see some of the sights I have the same feelings about Japan.
I'd love to see the Studio Ghibli museum, try some sushi from the home land, and take in some of the Zen Buddhist culture if I had the opportunity.

Yes, but the cost of living is probably higher where you live. Higher pay doesn't mean much of anything if it costs more to live there.

No, what I mean is that this statement isn't exactly new to anyone. It's a common stereotype used against Japanese culture. It's often used in an incorrect manner and generally spewed out as a weak means to seem educated on another culture.

I think you're just parroting what anyone remotely interested in Japanese culture is already told repeatedly. It is my understanding that people visiting Japan, they are really polite. On the other side of that coin, for people wanting to actually live there I've heard it's an incredibly daunting issue as trying to inject yourself into their culture they get really high strung about.
Housing discrimination is often a huge issue for people wanting to move there who don't have connections, if you're not friendly with someone there they simply won't sell you a home.
Fuck ladders in games from the 90s. Seriously.

The "file" is coming up as an error (shown above) and I do not know how to fix it.
Like I said, that wasn't directly meant to be built. However, I didn't know you actually named your file "file".

}Why did My Little Pony become an obsession for people way past the intended age group? I'm not knocking it, to each his own and all, but I remember seeing MLP when it was new. It didn't take off super well, but then a few years later it just explodes into popularity for people in their 20-30s.
I just can't wrap my head around why it happened, is this people being ironic to the most extreme degree?

You may want to convert your files into something more along the lines of this.
Triangle A: 70.7107 122.4745, 44.8288 219.0671, 141.4214 244.9490

Once you get each line, you can take each line and put it as part of a String Array. This will give you each line as an individual string. From there, you can sort everything out programmatically by using the String functions within .NET.

Here is a good page on using String Arrays.
I'll be around if you have anymore questions.
Like I mentioned before, you can take each string from the array and break it apart using .NET string functions.
For example.
// Please note, this will be a VERY ROUGH idea of what you'll be doing. I'm not an expert in C# but I do know how to get around to some extent.
//Just a rough concept of what your end result will be when you finish putting into an array
// You'll probably be cycling through each line in your file while reading it and adding into the array.
string[] fileContents = file;
//This line creates a string for line "Triangle A"
//This variable should look like this -
// Triangle A: 70.7107 122.4745, 44.8288 219.0671, 141.4214 244.9490
string triangleA = fileContents[0].ToString();
// We remove the "Triangle A: " from the string, now it looks like this 70.7107 122.4745, 44.8288 219.0671, 141.4214 244.9490.
// This is kind of a rough way of performing this as this will only work if you have "Triangle X: " with X being a single letter.
triangleA = triangleA.Remove(0, 12)
// We take the previous triangleA value and Split it into another Array.
// Now, each number has it's own seperate string.
string[] triangleAArray = triangleA.Split();You may need to run a .Trim/.TrimEnd on the final string results in triangleAArray to get rid of some of the white spaces. However, at the end of that you'll have a list of each individual value for Triangle A, you should only need to repeat for each Triangle in the list.
I'm not in a good position to refine my code and research it, most of this is coming from some quick memory, but that should be a general idea of what you'll be looking to do to obtain each number as an individual string.
If you're doing all this simply from a text file, then your best bet will probably be to use String Arrays.

This certainly isn't a new trend. It's been happening for as long as people have been modifying their cars. The earliest example I can think of off the top of my head are NSX owners of the 90s.
In Japan, Honda released the NSX which was a cheaper mid-engine car. It was pretty popular in it's hayday and a lot of people in the States wanted it. They did release the NSX in the States but it was sold under the Acura brand, which is Honda's luxury brand. There were plenty of people who took off the Acura logos/emblems and stuck Honda emblems on them simply because that was the original variant of it that came out in Japan.
