In-Flight Reboot?

    Must be American, and a real proud one, I guess,

    high priority in military spending, low priority in education and the bigger club is always right.

    I would dig it, if that would have been moderated as funny, interesting or flamebaite but insightful - WOW, I am really blown away!

    Maybe Slashdot needs a Cynical/Ironic moderation level.

    If you haven't seen a fascistic mindset, his post would be a prime example: Anything different cannot be tolerated and needs to be eliminated, Jews, Blacks, Gays, Muslims...

    But I think, he meant it cynical - or, hold it, he worked/works at Microsoft - I wonder...

    Ok, I'll bite:

    Private Enterprise? Going to explain for us?

    I don't suppose it was because you tried to start a little whorehouse on base, was it? You know, privates like pee-pee and punani and enterprise like an 'enterprising young man.' So, am I right? Or was it really because you were a low-ranking schmuck who never advanced because Star Trek kept you from putting forth any effort?

    Just curious!
