About five years ago they did a study of what candidates journalists and other members of the media supported, and they pretty consistently supported democrats. It's possible that's changed recently, but I doubt it.
Double standard. Republicans bash democrats endlessly, but whine about it whenever anyone hits back. Not really. Bashing happens back and forth, and I call shenanigans if it's unfair either way, which his statement clearly was.
Republicans are allowed to say they've changed, but not Democrats. Republicans love to point out Democrat's youthful indiscretions, so turnabout is fair play Really? Because I seem to remember President Bush getting bashed over what he was doing in Vietnam, over his alcoholism, and over many other things in his past. Seems like maybe analyzing peoples' past behavior cuts both ways.
Markets need controls Indeed they do and I never argued differently, I only said that very conservative people would tend to make that argument. Since republicans tend towards the conservative side, placing republicans on the side of copyright seems a little silly.
Just because some republicans or some democrats act a certain doesn't mean they all do, and acting like they do is counterproductive. You don't raise the level of dialogue by going to the level of the lowest common denominator.
Two things wrong with that: first, people are allowed to change how they believe and, indeed, most parts of their personality. Second, strict copyright enforcement is neither republican nor democrat, liberal nor conservative. It's an artificial control of the market, and as such it's bad according to the free market evangelists.
Republicans are reaching the status of Microsoft on Slashdot, getting bashed for everything whether they deserve it or not.
That was a very good post. Spot on analysis, beautiful understanding of the situation with added insight into what really happened. Plus, riddled with spelling mistakes that would make any slashdot editor proud.
I believe this post will be the one I get nostalgic about when I reminisce in the work camp while the robotic overseers aren't looking.
Okay, saying it's a wash is absolute bullocks. The difference was small, but it was there. When you're an end user, do you want the designer to say, "screw it, it's only a few percentage points," or do you want them to do everything they can to make it easier?
Most UI differences are small; the difference between having the task bar in the middle of the screen and on the edge of the screen is very small as well, but that doesn't make it not worth doing.
According to the legends, everything on MacGuyver could have been done, so why not have them show how it was right? In fact, have them make a mythbusters proving/disproving the movie anyway; it'll be a big boost to publicity for both shows.
I'm sure they can never have enough, though. If this were my company, I would make absolutely certain to have all the information on anatomy that I could get, whether in photos or movies. Also, I'd make sure that I reviewed all of the information I can, taking a real hands-on approach. When it comes to things like this, I find that I can never get enough.
I bet ill-informed retards were saying the same thing about the Roman Empire. Not the best comparison you could draw; after all, the fall of Rome was followed by a few centuries we currently refer to as "the dark ages."
Besides, what happens on Slashdot and other places is that people hate the US without tempering it with the good the US does. Nobody here (that's sane, anyway) believes that the US is the savior of the world. But any objective analysis would come up with the US being pretty damn good, compared to most modern countries and especially compared to other, similarly powerful nations in history.
Maine just got indoor plumbing They only want you to have to learn one technological advance at a time. Don't want y'all to get confused, then angry, then defect to Canada. That would be awful.
They really are missing the point. The point of a stickie note is to put information where there was none previously. I don't need the bottom edge of my monitor for anything, but it's really handy for reminding me about the tasks I need to do before I leave. Putting it on the monitor (physically or through this software) takes up space that I do need for something else, meaning I'd only look at them when I thought I'd need the reminder...which means that I wouldn't need it.
Great, you just opened the door for all the smug replies about how people haven't seen ads in years because of adblock plus. They'll probably close their eyes while they're typing it, too.
I can write a program in assembly that will perform worse than the same program written in Ruby if I wanted to. Does that mean assembly won't scale? Try it and report back in 20 years. You'll probably get a slashdot story out of it!
Does the first amendment apply in this case? The man is sending mail from overseas servers that have no intent other than selling something. I know that the first amendment doesn't cover dangerous communication, or communication about illegal acts, but does it cover bad, mass advertising that costs the end user money and that they can't really opt out of?
I'm fairly certain your problem is trying to talk to the whole world at once. Your computer program's seeing that, and it's trying to yell too loud. Try doing "Hello user" and see if that helps.
You're obviously underestimating the amount of effort it takes to store usernames, passwords, and phone numbers in a database, then associate them with messages no more than 120 characters in length.
The copyright cops have to follow due process And in the meanwhile, they can take some meager/manufactured "evidence", turn that into a warrant where they seize every piece of mail, computer, and storage device in your house. Then you have to hire a lawyer. You'll get all of that back when the trial's done in a year or two unless the jury decides to convict you on that same flimsy evidence. 12 peers helps make things reasonable, but it's still a crap shoot, and you're out the lawyer money either way.
Enchantment: good take on the sleeping beauty myth.
Lost Boys: great story about a man's family life, moving, and dealing with loss.
Shadow Series: every one of them has moments that are as good as Ender's Game and the series as a whole has a lot more to offer.
Maps in a Mirror: short stories ranging from mildly interesting to better than Bradbury's. The best one is Unaccompanied Sonata, probably the best short story I've ever read.
There are more books he's written, and I've found most of them are pretty good. The problem with Card is he's extremely opinionated, has some weird opinions and likes to yell them at the top of his lungs. In other words, the only difference between him and at least 75% of slashdot is that when he yells, people listen.
the moral of that story is to know when you're in a pissing match and to get out as quickly as possible. The developer thought he was right, you thought you were right, neither of you had a clear case but kept pushing for too long. Turns out that you were right, but it didn't do any damn good. Congratulations.
probably bought it from Hot Topic That's great. The quickest way to get teens to stop shopping at Hot Topic is for nerds, old people, or old nerds (like yourself) to let them know that they know it's cool. If we could convince the slashdot editors to run a few stories about how cool hot topic is, complete with a strong recommendation to shop there, we could end this menace once and for all.
Of course, then we'd have to read 350 comments all saying that the article is not news for nerds.
Just don't forget to factor in the additional peace of mind of knowing that he didn't kill himself, or even knowing for sure either way. That can be worth a lot of money, too.

You're asking for proof, but you haven't been offering it yourself. Would you like to back up your claim?

Working with Microsoft has its, shall we say, advantages.

I imagine it sucks worse than what Clinton had them do.
