Believe it or not, there are a whole lot of Microsoft users and some of them like their products. Automatically assuming someone is a shill because they speak positively about Windows is just plain retarded.
I am intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Actually, I agree with you but I found the above response more likely to get me modded up, until I destroyed that likelihood with this admission...
The good news is that in two to four years of this, the country can revolt, kick all the Democrats out, and we can then repeal the bill before too much damage is done.
Either you're optimistically hoping to vote in Libertarians and the rare fiscally-conservative Republican, or you haven't heard how the Republican party has been spending money the last 30 years...
I wanted to respond to this, but my WoW Guild is starting a raid, and I'm gonna get me some phat loot. And besides, my son, who just got back from college is totally gonna be playing with us! w00t!
Ahhh... is Northern Virginia the perfect representative of modern suburbia? I keep forgetting. And here I am sitting on the border of L.A. and Orange County, which seems to be both very suburban, and yet very bicycle friendly. Granted our major streets are "6-lane highways", but they also have intersections every 100 yards, making it easy for pedestrian and bicycle traffic to get around. In fact, all the places where I've lived in the last couple years (Ventura County, San Bernardino County, Los Angeles County, and Orange County) whose combined populations (16 million total - the vast majority living in suburbia) is more than the combined populations of all of Virginia, D.C., Maryland, and West Virginia, have been very bicycle-friendly. Maybe what you meant to say was:
Very few places today, near where I live at least, are bicycle-friendly.
Tons of people don't want children. Unfortunately, a disproportionate number of these people are on the more intelligent/capable end of the spectrum, genetically-speaking...
... stealing a poor person's old beater earns the thief the same penalties as stealing a rich guy's Beemer.
Depends how crappy the beater car is. If it's worth less than $400, then it seems it might earn you only a misdemeanor instead of the usual grand theft felony charge.
wouldn't want one of those going up you know where while snoozing at the beach. no siree.
You are aware that meteorites come from space, right? So unless you're in the habit of snoozing with your body angled such that your head is at a lower elevation than your feet/ass, I'm pretty certain there would be anything 'going up' anywhere.
The money the government raises through spectrum auctions offsets what it would otherwise have to raise by taxing people and selling securities. The government is the people.
You must be from Bizarro-U.S.A., or you traveled here in a time machine (I'm guessing from around 1830 - did the federal government sell securities then?). Unfortunately, in the United States that the rest of us live in, the politicians who control the wealth of the government actually look at every new source of income as an opportunity to find new ways to repay those who got them (and will keep them) in power (hint: it wasn't The People). They also seem to work just as hard to continually find new ways to leech even more money from the citizenry.
Actually I'm more convinced that circletimessquare intentionally avoids capitalizing words in his comments to bring more attention to the abhorrent misuse of them in his sig/advertisement.
I think the Chinese gov't has themselves a couple hundred/. accounts, for which it has harnessed their collective mod power to trivialize everything said in reply to this article by hitting everything with 'Funny" mods.
Well, at least I stop taking someone seriously when they've been modded funny...
Anyhoo... back to constructing my New and Improved Tinfoil Skullcap...
Why are the replies modded funny? Someone's doing a crappy job of moderating today.
Or a great job. Personally, I find it entertaining to read a comment waiting for the punchline, then re-read it thinking I 'missed' something. It speaks volumes to degree I have been conditioned to trust the mods. A round of "off-modding" like this gives me a chance to reflect on my own reading-of-Slashdot habits. Quite refreshing.
Of course, in all my comments I make sure to include a "little bit of everything", so that the less discerning reader can say "Oh! That's why this comment is Insightful/Interesting/Informative/Funny/Flamebait/Troll/Off-topic!".

I, for one, prefer to have hot sex with the average joe...
I'm willing to test that claim...

Will some of the sales tax go towards purchasing a clue/sense-of-humor for certain, sadly bereft individuals?
it happens to every guy once in a while
Once in a while?!
...but we can be certain that humans are driving CO2...
Not all of us. I drive a golf cart powered by my own sense of self-satisfaction.
He's not your friend, guy...
I've personally never seen a parent give in to their five-year-old's demands for MDMA... of course this could be a regional thing. I'm from Earth.
From your own sig:

M'Coward, I believe the common folk refer to that as "sarcasm". Also see: wit, humor, and whoosh

A couple orders of magnitude too young to claim that crown, according to this site
I just assumed that, given its location, it was really just pining for the fjords.
...being a child with red hair could be hell at times.
Yeah, I heard it can be tough going through life without a soul... what with all the automatic doors not opening and stuff...

I have a duel core atom, and it sucks for flash
Probably cuz it's tired from fighting in one-on-one combat with the GPU all the time. I recommend getting an Atom that works with its GPU.

Also, fuck you.
