Slashdot Mirror

This article explains how that number was made up.

You now what's funny about the Somalia IQ score? That the people who published the data basically conformed they made the number up. In the book they published the number in. http://irregulartimes.com/2015/08/24/a-new-low-in-racial-immigrant-bashing-proving-somalis-have-lower-iqs-without-measuring-somali-iq/

User training and good web and spam filtering should always be the first line of defense, but when determining security, there are much better free options than Defender.

Also, you are more likely to get a virus from a religious site than a porn site, my proclivities for donkey sex be dammed. http://irregulartimes.com/2013...

Furthermore, you know where most of our infections come from? For businesses it is targeted spam, and occasional drive-by malware. For home users it is free streaming sites (download this updated flash player to watch GoT), or kids trying to get the newest free mod/cheat for minecraft (sometimes other games, but mostly 9-12 year olds and minecraft).

My god you are naive.

Who put that rule in place? hint.

Have you been asleep for the last 3.5 years?
These petitions have been systematically ignored, on all sorts of issues that the Administration does not want to deal with. Hundreds of them! Occasionally some vapid dismissive reply is posted, but most are simply ignored. Its a huge joke. Made for people like you who feel clicking a button counts as "doing something".

It is far more effective to bitch on the net, showing people what a two-faced government we have than it is to buy into the system and click some feel good button.

The only petition that counts is the one handed to you as you enter the voting booth.

In following with the usual Slashdot fact checking reaction to anything political, this website seems to at least dig a little more into the people behind the web site and what they are about. I smell something fishy about this web site...

Anybody have a list?

See how your congressmen voted on the same issue in february.

You'll notice in the senate and house that the republicans are definitely selling us out. The difference is more drastic in the house, but even with the senate almost no republicans (where's the tea party patriots at right now?) voted no. Dems might be bad, but the republicans are complete trash.

nope.

Its republicans

http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2011/02/08/roll-call-vote-who-voted-for-and-against-the-patriot-act-282011/

glad to have informed you.

http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2011/02/08/roll-call-vote-who-voted-for-and-against-the-patriot-act-282011/

This is an issue where republicans can be held accountable. You should not act like it isn't, especially now that you've seen the votes.

See it for yourself, and please don't bother wasting my time pointing out the few dems on YEAS and repubs on NAYS. I'm not stupid, and I see a very clear trend.

There are unfortunately only two options in US politics: The Frying pan and the shiny new futuristic looking Frying pan with a non-stick coating

As I just made clear, there is actually a difference between the two that is greater than 'shinyness'.

Take a look at the roll call, and look at more on other very serious issues where the population majority would disagree.... REPUBLICANS ALWAYS DOMINATE THE BILLS THAT GO AGAINST US.

http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2011/02/08/roll-call-vote-who-voted-for-and-against-the-patriot-act-282011/

Please, by all means, quit acting like the parties are equal.

If your congressman or senator failed to vote against this violation of the fourth and fifth amendments, he or she has violated their oath of office. Don't vote for them again unless you want this shit to continue.

Here's a roll call of votes on the patriot act.

http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2011/02/08/roll-call-vote-who-voted-for-and-against-the-patriot-act-282011/

I want to make a point here. I know many-a-commenter likes to equate the democrats and republicans, saying they are both pro-corporate, and both *equally* bad for us. And yet when I see roll calls on votes, as you will see here, there is a striking trend among the issues that most americans (of all parties) are not getting represented correctly on.... Take a look. You'll see it right away unless you're in denial. Squint your eyes... Have a look.

Yes.. you see some dems on YEAS. and you see some repubs on NAYS. But what you *really* see as a whole is that the republicans are consistently selling us out.

So go ahead, attempt to equate the parties, but on issues like this, the truth is absolutely clear, them dems are definitely the lesser of two evils. Spread the word, and if you're a republican, at least accept the truth. Please. And then go ask your representative why they are always selling you out.

God damn republicans.

This is not about partisanship, its about freedom. Do you despise the TSA, the PATRIOT act, the erosion of our Constitution, and our loss of Liberty or do you just want something else to wave in the face of the party that you happen to not be in?

Unless solicitation in connection with Confession was involved, not only the local bishop but also superiors of religious orders exempt from the jurisdiction of the local bishop could proceed, either by formal trial or non-judicially ("modo administrativo"), against members of those orders who had committed such crimes; superiors of non-exempt religious orders could also do so, but only non-judicially

While the Lenihan order and decision did say that the government cannot demand location information without a search warrant, that decision has been appealed by the current administration. And even if the DOJ loses that appeal, the decision would only apply to a limited section of the country - other courts could decide differently.

The bigger issue is that electronic communications laws are badly out-of-date. There are so many grey areas and loopholes that Sprint and the DOJ can easily argue with a straight face that GPS records are not protected by the Constitution, are not protected by federal or state law, can be demanded without a search warrant, can even be voluntarily handed over with no process whatsoever, do not have to be logged, and do not require anyone ever to tell the person whose location information was collected that they were tracked. And while the courts often do get it right eventually, that's a really slow battle - we need a better approach than that.

We (the ACLU) are launching a new campaign, Demand Your dotRights, to push companies and lawmakers to provide real protections for our personal information. The "Electronic Communication Privacy Act," which is supposed to protect information like GPS records, was passed in 1986(!) - it just doesn't fit any more.

We hope you will all sign on and join our efforts to push Sprint, lawmakers, and others to respect individual privacy. It clearly won't be an easy battle (seeing how Sprint is actually proud of its "over 8 million GPS record requests served" title), but with enough support, we hope to make a difference - and we could use your help!

Politicians are much, much cheaper than that.

You can get $600,000 in sweetheart deals just by donating $40,000 to a House campaign. Oh, and note that that's 25 people giving money, not 1 person.

Sure, two grand a person is a lot for representation, but look at the ROI. And it would only take 4,000 people donating $10 each to a cause to get this kind of treatment. Or 400 people giving $100 each.

It never did. If you're voting for a party, you're a moron. Vote for people, not parties. There are good ones and awful ones in all of them.

Ah, the smell of bullshit in the evening. This is what Republicans would like you to think, especially in an election year where their utter incompetence/corruption/malfeasance is an issue. You're aware they control both houses of Congress as well as the executive branch, right?

(a) Zonk is wrong. Lieberman is a Republican, in all but name, and progressive Democrats are trying hard to get him out of the party in the August Dem CT primary by replacing him with a true Democrat (google "Ned Lamont"). The count is 2 Republican bills, 4 Democratic, one Democrat-in-name-only-lunatic-censorship-boy.

(b) Zonk doesn't seem to know how Congress works. A bill must pass both houses of Congress to become law, so we're actually looking at four attempts at lawmaking, three Democratic and one Republican. Let's look at the bills:

1. One set of bills, including Clinton's bill, bar sale or rental of "mature" video games to minors. Aside from Clinton's obvious pandering to the rednecks (progressives aren't happy with her either, she won't be the nominee in '08, trust me) what's the problem here? The alternative in this supposedly 'Christian' theocracy-mined political climate is to ban M-rated games entirely.

2. One set of bills, including Lieberman's bill orders Fed study on effects of "electronic media" on kids. Ooh, a study! Scary stuff! Again, we're going to remove Lieberman this August. Progressives hate him; he's not a real Democrat; First Amendment fans hate him; gamers hate him; music fans hate him. Oil companies and the religious theocrats love him.

3. One House bill, which has no Senate equivalent, is broad in scope, and it was introduced by some backwards Dem in the House: "Requires study of computer game rating system and recommendations for new laws". This would suck.

4. The Republican bills instruct the FTC to investigate GTA, which strikes me as crazy-ass buearacratic meddling, but whatever.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even tacitly take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus. And you've got to make it stop.

Cheney/Jesus in 2008!

Cheney said he wouldn't run, and I think we've got the closest thing to God's only son right now.

Moi: We told Nader to take a hike at the Green Party convention.
Toi: You told him to take a hike because he was too god at what he does.

I was going to correct your typo, but it turns out you're right. The guy thinks he's God, and we already have one of those in the White House (or at least one who thinks God speaks through him).

In any case, I expect Bush to be able to stand on his own. The fact that he couldn't face the comission on his own two feet (metaphorically) that he is not in charge. He is not a leader.

Here is your reference to Bush saying that God speaks through him: Intelligencer Journal and the Lancaster New Era, on July 16, 2004. . Here's the Lancaster Online archive. It requires Javascript.

I don't care about Bush's personal beliefs. I only care about the constituencies he panders to when he creates policies for our country.

Why would you vote for this failure again? He blew the war on terror before 9/11 and brought us into Iraq solely as the behest of his neo-con buddies in their quest for world domination, while claiming it was related to the war on terror. He hasn't come clean about his national guard record, nor his history of drug use. While Kerry was fighting in Vietnam, he was having Senior pull strings to get him out of his military obligation. Hasn't he demonstrated to you that he is unfit to lead our country?

Yup, he really did. See:

Do you know what's the biggest cause of cancer in humans due to chemicals? Salt.

You forgot to mention the most dangerous chemical of all, dihydro monoxide. Why worry about mercury, when you have all that H2O around ...

No, the biggest environmental threat to humans isn't either radiation or chemicals, it's ignorance, stupidity, and paranoia.

It is a good thing then that we have Bush in the White House, to fight for more arsenic and lead in the water and more mercury in the air. These stupid environmental laws are just in the way when fighting against ignorance and stupidity.
