there certainly aren't that many pro sports teams in DC
Besides the (American) football, soccer, basketball, and baseball teams?
Granted, only the football team has existed continuously since 1936, but that's probably true for most American cities (only one or two teams continously existing for that long), so there's nothing special about Washington.
That's weird... my work's Exchange webmail works fine in Firefox. Haven't tried it in Konq though.
The only thing I need IE for is my cell phone provider's bill paying online. I can view bills, etc, using Firefox, but then if I try to pay, it dumps me out of their system with an "unknown error", and I have to log in again. Works fine in IE. I should email them about that.
I agree.. TDS used to be a lot better at making fun of everyone, and it was one of my favorite shows, but now it seems they've just allied themselves with Democrats and attack Bush all the time. If I wanted fake information that attacks Bush, I'd watch Farenheit 9/11 (although at least TDS prides itself on being fake..).
(BTW -- the humor columnist Dave Barry does a good job of making fun of everyone when he writes political humor... sadly that's not to often, but his book Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway is one of my favorite bits of political humor by anyone)
So, for example, LA should be able to take as much water as they want from the Colorado people, and say "fuck the people upstream", because they (LA) has more people? Sounds like a great system there!
mod parent up, please. I seriously thought the Politics sectioon might be good, but it's become a farce. This one's pretty ridiculous, though not quite as much as the "Republicans are going to outlaw elections" story the other week (submitted by "Marxist Hacker", of course).
I rarely complain about Slashdot articles.. dupes, spelling and grammar errors, whatever, those aren't a big deal. But this is just too much.
BMWs are numbered based on their body style and engine size (then they add letters for various features); these "level" numbers are, as far as I can tell, arbitrary. Different ideas. BMW's number is closer to how we used to name CPUs... based on a number (engine size or clock speed) that isn't exactly a measure of performance, but close enough to give an approximation.
Yes, everyone knows only stupid or evil people vote for Republicans! It's a fact -- not only did Michael Moore tell me so, but I read it in the Village Voice, too.
You do realize that The Hobbit was written and printed before 1938, and that the Lord of the Rings wasn't finished until the 1950's right?
That's what the OP is saying.. then Tolkien rewrote the Riddles in the Dark chapter of the Hobbit, even though it had been published over a decade earlier. This is no secret, it's in the LOTR Foreward.

Anyway, I promptly ran my license through a degausser after that incident.
Hope you don't want to buy alcohol anymore, as they'll now assume you have a fake ID because they can't scan it.
Sorry, but the plural of "anecdote" is not "data".
If they had gotten all the lawyers earlier, they might have been able to keep Nader off even *more* ballots!
Does anyone else favor the death penalty for anyone who uses the word (if you can call such an abomination by that name) "blogosphere"?
Personally I think the Rack is a suitible punishment. Alternately, hot irons under the fingernails, or forced repeated viewings of "Star Trek V".
NetBSD is widely portable.
:P
In other news: the ocean is wet.

So can poor white children receive extra help, since they started out "so far behind"?
Oh, that's right, they don't count, only "people of color" could possibly need anything.
What Slashbots say they want and what they actually want are often very different, and often contradictory.
Yes, it's almost like there are (get ready for something crazy) different people who post to Slashdot!
Here I always thought it was just one guy who posted contradictory opinions, followed by something about hot grits and Natalie Portman.

I'm guessing you don't actually know what Godwin's Law is?
Are you sure you can hear music through that tinfoil hat of yours?
the felons can't vote, cry me a river. maybe they should have thought of that before committing a felony?

Of course, Toby Keith is a registered Democrat, so I suppose by "liberal bias" you mean it only has liberal artists?

I've saved hundreds of dollars over the years with the BMG CD club... It's only a scam if you're stupid.
Remind me to not go where you come from, then.
what they found on the internet is true, 100% fact
So you mean it isn't?
Does that mean BSD isn't dead after all?
So in your world, "adult" means "no imagination or sense of humor"? I feel sorry for you.
Goddammit, I read "election" too. I need to stop reading political things.

Unless I missed something, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are different people.
