No True Scotsman fallacy. There are many millions of people (mostly religious types) in this country who supported Bush, still do, and identify both themselves and Bush as conservative. If they thought he was anything else they wouldn't support him.
Tea Party members were the ones who first called themselves teabaggers. But nowadays, you can't even use that word without being hauled off to sensitivity training.
Since this is Slashdot, with its misleading sensationalism and all, I'm surprised they didn't title the headline: "iPhone Allows Easy, Wireless Credit Card Fraud."
I don't think scientists have an anti-religion bent. Many scientists are religious themselves. But they do have an anti-dishonesty bent, or an anti-politicising things that should have nothing at all to do with politics bent.
Exactly. Just like if you mention you are "seriously investigating" the possiblity that 2 + 2 = 5, you probably won't get tenure either. They will think you are a crackpot. And justifiably so. Intelligent Design is similar.
No! I hate teh Apple and by arrogantly pouring scorn on teh Apple and its products, I try to convince myself and others that I am superior. This helps to suppress my deep feelings of inadequacy.
So the hate and bashing is necessary! It never gets tiring.
The Governor of Tennessee [Bill Haslam] [...] to push the US federal government to impose a national Internet sales tax
Dang those Democrats, always raising taxes! Oh well, at least we have Republicans to proudly fight against every tax and stand up for the American people.
Everyone always talks about the part of the healthcare law that mandates insurance--the part that was supported in the past by Romney, Gingrich, and, I think, Nixon.
But what about all the rest of it? There's quite a bit of it besides that, like eliminating pre-existing conditions and many other things. Repealing everything is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Of course, not including a public option made the new law only a pale substitute for what it could have been. But the public option will never happen, because the huge corporations and their paid big-media mouthpieces (and the millions of gullible believers in that big media) will never let it happen.
Why is this being downgraded to a "massacre" now that we know the perpetrators aren't Muslim?
Call it what it was. It was a terrorist attack. That's a superset of massacre, and it wasn't merely some deranged nut suddenly going off--it was premeditated, and it was for political reasons. But it seems a lot of people are trying to push that under the rug.
By your definition, someone who believes that 1+1=3 is a free thinker. He's not oppressed by the dogma in the scientific community, that suppresses and stifles any dissent!
And by God, if he's not allowed to teach the children that 1+1=3, then the socialist lobby with their Godless, homosexual, communist agenda has won!!1!!1
Oh . . . sorry, I checked and some newer models are not easy to be replaced. They require factory replacement. My MacBook Pro, which is a few years old, has a battery that is extremely easy to pop out, but unfortunately it seems like that's not the case with more recent models.
The article and Slashdot summary are about laptops, not iPhones or iPods.
It is extremely easy to replace a battery on an Apple laptop. Just as easy as it is on other brands of laptop.
Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot:
- Find silly lawsuits
- Post inflammatory articles about them
- Wait until all the nerds scream in self-righteous rage
- Profit!
- Repeat, repeat again...
Actually, it seems to work pretty well.
Maybe it was, in fact, perfect English when it was submitted . . . before the Slashdot "editors" got to it?
Some a them birds are yellow. They must be Jap'nese. Doesn't anyone remember Pearl Harbor anymore?
Others are black. You know about them.
Still others are blue. Must be from some a them blue states!
In fact, this whole multicolored thing reminds me of (shaking head) multiculturalism. Angry Birds is rooning Murka!!!
They were not very conservative.

Shouldn't that be but does not involve?
Wow, crack Slashdot-style editing there.
...And have powerful admirers on Fox News to generate fake propoganda and positive public sentiment.
Wait a second. That's a fact you posted. This is Slashdot. The GP post is insightful, dammit! Insightful!
If there were a civilization on Mars that had not yet been converted to Jesus . . . by god we would already be on our way there.
First of all, stop calling them teabaggers.

You'll probably get some opposition to that . . .

I'm so fucking sick of this bullshit false equivalence. What you have said isn't just a lie. It's mendacious to the extreme.
Welcome to Slashdot.
Experts? They don't know anything. Everyone knows the definitive word is with the armchair commentators here on Slashdot!
TFA, and TF Linked Patent Application, don't contain the words "Apple," "iPhone" or "iPad" at all. The headline of TFA says, "Smartphone."
Did Slashdot substitute that with "iPhone" just to get the nerds all riled up? Wouldn't be the first time.
Do you know, perchance, what I meant by "superset"?

Or, say, Bernie Sanders, who ordered this audit.
