    Pah. Slashdot's been in the shitter for years, it's just that we can still use the periscope and snorkel.

    More importantly, it still doesn't use a dependency-resolving package manager. If that works for you, great, but it doesn't for me.

    The Supreme Court would only get involved if someone with standing sued and it got appealed up to that level. The SC isn't going to swoop in and say "sorry, we think this is wrong so we're putting a stop to it" because that's not how our system works.

    Likewise Congress isn't about to do anything because they don't care and if they tried the conservative media would whip up the mob with fears about terrorism and Islam and brown people.

    Lastly even if Obama could unilaterally declare hostilities over as you assert, he's not going to while we've got active fighting in Afghanistan. That'd be stupid.

    You really should educate yourself better.

    Wrong. Congress specifically denied funding for this, so you still can't blame him for this one.

    Point of order: Obama /did/ try to close Guantanamo more than once, but Congress repeatedly blocked him. You can't pin this one on him.

  9. Re:Duck Penii on Republican Proposal Puts 'National Interest' Requirement On US Science Agency · · Score: 3, Informative

    The correct plural is "penes", philistine. It's a Greek word and not Latin; in any case to be "penii" the singular form would have to be penius.

    Or you could be /not/ pretentious and just say "penises".

    We've got a number of programs and a few outside websites that require IE9 or older. Good thing that we're cool with letting our users have Firefox and Chrome, though some of them really like IE and would rather use that instead.

    No, there was an actual RAM Doubler from Connectix for both Mac and Windows. You're thinking of Syncronys SoftRAM.

    15-30 meters down, isn't it? I toured the (decommissioned) Minuteman command silo at Whiteman AFB in the mid '90s and I seem to remember it being pretty far down.

    People need to understand that libertarians are here, we are a sizable force, and you better deal with us by making smart comments, instead of the bullshit that people like Nimey and you post.

    Lollers. You're only perpetuating negative stereotypes about libertarians and their lack of social understanding & empathy with other people, especially with that simian chest-thumping about how mighty you lot are.
