Reportedly that rumor came from a couple staffers for Clinton's campaign, who were duly fired.
Being a good cynic and student of politics, I wonder if it was just a couple rogue staffers. The rumor damages Obama's reputation among the gullible and bigoted (have to consider Republican voters for the main election), and firing a couple of redshirts makes Clinton look good for ostensibly trying to run a clean campaign. But I could be wrong.
As for me, I'm voting tomorrow and trying to decide if I want to vote Paul or Obama.
Apparently our civil liberties aren't important to you, nor Bush's grasping for power and contempt for Constitutional issues like separation of powers, checks and balances, freedom of speech, and due process.
That's because most under-30s are, in fact, a worthless demographic that doesn't vote.
Maybe that's a chicken-and-egg thing, but FFS most of my peers just can't be bothered to vote, let alone research candidates. I've voted in every election since I turned 18 (I'm 28) and try to be informed about candidates and issues. I think it would help if elections were held on weekends or if Election Day was a national holiday, but I still think that most people in their 20s just can't be bothered.
Bottom line: I would rather have a president I disagree with on some issues but I know in my heart is strong and stubborn than someone who will change their views based on popular opinion. What is right isn't always popular, and what is popular isn't always right. Didn't learn much from the whole Bush presidency, huh? Having your own moral compass is a good thing, but not when it blinds you to reality and makes you unable to realize 1) that you're wrong, and 2) that you should admit it and change your mind.
It has been truly said that if Osama bin Laden ran for Governor of Oklahoma on the al-Quaida ticket, he'd win, provided he coached a winning football team for the University of Oklahoma.
IN the long run, if Ubuntu is looking for better corporate penetration, perhaps they should look for better release names in the future. I dunno, I think "Hairy Hardon" practically screams long-term penetration.
Fuck. I've got a Yahoo email account going back to 1999. I had a Hotmail account since 1996 (when it was still independent) but gave it up after Microsoft ruined the service (bad UI, bad spam-filtering, non-blockable official MS spam).
I'd really hate to have to switch to another email provider for my "permanent" email service.
No, it's me too. Notice how the story's on the "idle" virtual server. If you go here: http://idle.slashdot.org/ you'll see all the stories posted this way.
On behalf of Missouri, I apologize for that douchebag and say that I have never voted for him. At least we got rid of our other Republican senator and Bush lickspittle in 2006.
If you want to be that pedantic, don't forget that FDR was president during the only time since the War of 1812 when a foreign power occupied United States soil (the capture of two Aleutian islands, Attu and Kiska, by the Japanese).

Please take a civics course.
But what if we get a president that uses Emacs?

Well... 56" middle-aged nipples, anyhow.

Jehovah is in a bar one day, trying to pick up Our Lady Eris. He tells her that since this is the first of May, She has to fuck him outside.
It's an outage caused by frottage.
Quite right. There was a DX3 and a DX5, though. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX#History
It's a heretical sect of the Church of Emacs.

So it would be better for Cox to allow any old botnetted-computer to spew spam?
If your mail situation is that important, buy a business-class account.
Bastard!
You forgot the telcos' willingness to bend over for illegal wiretapping (OK, except Qworst).
I hereby excommunicate this very silly pope.

Much as how correctly writes C=64.
Be my guest.
Now we'll have to rename Linux to FreedomOS.
It's a good thing that Slashdot isn't Wikipedia, or Bond's staffer who modded me down would have edited that to praise him instead.
