    Hey thaylin, I'm telling you this twig is worth $5000. Take it in trade for your Toyota?

    Not quite right. Money is a representation of the value of labor. Eliminating the IRS would eliminate many wasted hours spent on enforcing a myriad of obtuse tax loopholes.

    Fiat money has value only because government's say it has value.

    Really, just "let it be done" that governments print whatever they need to pay their expenses and eliminate the IRS once and for all.

    Think about all the other things you could be doing with the money you have thrown at them over the years. Seriously, just cut the cord.

  6. Actually nearly right. My now 9 year old car was bought and paid for with cash. What many pay out in car payments is socked away for when I need a newer one. Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

  7. That's how much I saved cutting the cord five years ago. Still can't believe I was one of the idiots paying $12,000 a decade to watch TV.

    Too dangerous. There are those here who won't give up until they can identify each and every dissenter. I think they want to hurt them.

    Some people are too sensitive for that. They have to know who to punch in the nose if something is said that they don't like.

  10. Limit Mod points to those 1,000,000. on Ask Slashdot: How Can We Improve Slashdot? · · Score: 1

    Newbies here seem to focused more on restricting free thought rather than encouraging it. Us old timers understand the importance of free speech and the open exchange of ideas. I'd recommend an mandatory -5 for anyone who asks to limit A/C posting. The only reason to request that is retribution.

    Return Slashdot to what it was, not what it is now.

    Just because blood suckers want to track you doesn't mean you have to follow in their footsteps.

    So, don't read those comments. It's not like you can't filter them out by browsing a +2 or something. Slashdot was founded by the intricate details ACs provide.

    Please yes!! The read more link at the bottom of summary actually motivated me to read more. Combining it with the article title just made me afraid to click on article titles.

    OMG no!! How will we ever get the inside scoop from those who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line simply by posting here. Are you a NSA spy or something? People should be able to speak their minds!

    Why not just not read those posts? Seems a simple enough solution to me.

    Just think, those browsing at -1 would see it and those with mod points could even elevate it if they felt it was deserving enough.

    Ask him why he didn't post with his/her user name? why be afraid in a thread such as this one??

    Can I ask you why you care? Seriously, are you out to stalk people or something? Okay, my suggestion is to add an option to browse without seeing any AC posts for those few who are obsessed with taking names and kicking butt. Obviously the ability to hide posts below a certain moderation threshold is not enough for them.

    Complaints about AC posts are nearly always off topic and I usually reserve a point to mod them as such.

    "Nobody" wants hardware QWERTY these days. Today it's all about slim and thin, not functionality. Hoping my N900 has enough life in it to survive this trend. 9 years and growing so far. One day there just might exist a more perfect phone, but I doubt it.

    No need to, many have been created and just as many have failed. I'm not anti-Apple, just anti-fleecing the public. The price of Apple's stock is a clear indicator of how the public is catching on to their games.

    Old data is just that...old data. Apple needs to become much more price competitive if it is going to succeed in today's marketplace. Your name can only get you so far.
