How can you call him schizophrenic? I'm sure that if the orphans had slighted him after he donated to their charity, he'd have tracked them down and removed their nasal columellas (skin between their nostrils) with dull scissors and rusty pliers.
Many of you laugh, but I know of a major business here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that housed all of its IT department in a trailer outside of the company building. Had cable run and everything. It was kinda of creepy.
My religion has taught me not to be afraid to call someone wrong when it does something, says something, stands for something, or engages in something that violates the values in which I believe. Let's review the errors in Slashdot's statements in order. First, I'm oversimplifying things a little here. Obviously, you shouldn't automatically believe all the allegations I've been making, so let me elaborate a bit. Time has only reinforced that conviction. (Actually, Slashdot's left hand doesn't know what its right hand is doing, but that's not important now.)
Because there is no time and little temptation for those who work hard on their jobs and their responsibilities to clear forests, strip the topsoil, and turn a natural paradise into a dust bowl through a self-induced drought, it therefore stands to reason that its attempts to bury our heritage, our traditions, and our culture are much worse than mere opportunism. They are hurtful, malicious, criminal behavior and deserve nothing less than our collective condemnation. Let's consider for a moment, though, that maybe the only effective and responsible course of action is to warn the public against those brutish, xenophobic cretins whose positive accomplishments are always practically nil, but whose conceit can scarcely be excelled, -- an often frustrating prescription, to be sure. Then doesn't it follow that no one today believes that Slashdot is merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live? Although chimpanzees can be convinced to wear clothing, understand commands, and even ride bicycles (if well paid for their services in bananas), it would be virtually impossible to convince Slashdot that its subordinates' thinking is fenced in by many constraints. Their minds are not free because they dare not be. On the other hand, every time Slashdot tells its cohorts that it knows 100% of everything 100% of the time, their eyes roll into the backs of their heads as they become mindless receptacles of unsubstantiated information, which they accept without question.
If you want a better opportunity to get a job, raise a family in a safe neighborhood, have a better chance at a good education, and lower the taxes on the money you earn, then I ask that you help me confront and reject all manifestations of communism. Slashdot may vilify our history, character, values, and traditions right after it reads this letter. Let it. By next weekend, I will set the record straight. Let me close by reminding you that Slashdot uses the word "literally" when it means "metaphorically".

If you really want to be safe, get rid of your credit cards. Use debit cards.
Whoa there buddy. Back the truck up some.
Credit cards have laws protecting holders against fraudulant charges up to $50 dollars (I think.) Debit cards just allow the thieves direct access to your personal savings without limit. Sure, you can contest the charges, but it's a hell of a time to get the money back.
At least with credit cards, you can contest the charges BEFORE your money's missing.
Forget this after hour crap. My Senior year in high school was spent playing Rise of the Triad in 4 player deathmatches in a lab of about 20 computers (5 groups, each group on 10Base2).
Of course, this is what we were doing when we weren't using an "Interent Simulator" to learn how to use IE and Netscape. Living in poor Mississippi sucks.
The Andromeda Strain didn't end with the "bug" being a petorl-munching maniac loose int he world. I won't say how it ended (for the sake of not pulling "A Chris") but it definitely didn't end with petroleum being in danger. Just a nit pick.
Ok I'm stuck, do I avoid Sonic Blue's PVR's because it will invade my privacy, or do I buy PVR from Sonic Blue, because they are as outraged about this as I am. I suppose I could record all kinds of crap on it too, that would at least subvert their data.
What to do is easy.... get 3 SonicBlue PVR's. Set them ALL to tape the Golden Girls everytime it comes on Lifetime, Law & Order everytime it comes on A&E, and grab as much Cinemax softcore porn as possible. Make sure to have the three PVR's just randomly grabbing so that the monitors catch your "unique viewing habit."

If only Bill could disappear in a puff of logic.
Damnit Lance, for the last time.... the year is 2002 and you're not getting a refund!
Southern city my ass.... I'm from the Deep South where you're a yank if you're north of I-10.
Hmmm, I hope someone puts it up on KaZaa or else I might never see it....
So is this:

I would hope that 100% of the Slashdot readers could agree on reading Slashdot.

Damn, I bet your RC5 rates would soar if you had on of them.

Sorry, the Catholic church has claimed most children under the age of 12 already.
I was browsing Slashdot, fighting the urge to lick my desk, when I saw this article. Good thing too....
Congratulations on being the only slashdotter to successfully boycott the MPAA.
