Perhaps you hang out with a different set of people than I do. A lot of us still do care about it.
Then discuss it with them. I'm sure there are also people who feel strongly about pants. but they don't try to make every slashdot topic about pants. oh wait..
seriously though, just take a moment to assess how exactly your fixation on a long gone election is really helping you along your path.
Also, I hesitate to mention that I did not vote for gw, it's not really relevant but in your mind it probably is.
basically the time to whine and act outraged was back then. If enough people had done this, maybe things would be different. But they're not different, they're the way they are so you need to get over it.
If you don't, and you continue to bring this up then you can't be surprised when people roll their eyes at you, or humor you, or ask you to leave. That's the price you pay for being a conspiracy nut in a world that just doesn't care anymore.
I strongly suggest that you get on with your life.

I did read it. but guess what, it's not in the government's best interest to research drugs. the sick and elderly are a drag on our economy (sentimentality aside) and the dark forces that control things would sooner see them die than waste a cent prolonging their life. Believing that the gov't has your best interests at heart is purely delusional.
Basically if you are unfortunate enough to become sick then your best hope is that your illness has been deemed a profitable one by the pharmaceutical companies and that you can afford treatment.
When I see armchair economic advisers like you second-guessing alan greenspan on matters of economic policy, I get a little annoyed.
As for the drugs, no they should not be patentable either. So you have the cure for AIDS, but you have a patent on it, so what now *I* have to die because you are a greedy bastard?
wrong. if drugs can't be patented then nobody will be willing to pony up the cash for the research. what we need, and it sounds like what greenspan is saying, is a balance between protection for corporations of intellectual property and a protection for consumers from privateering pharmaceutical companies.
You don't know how yahoo uses php. It might use it on command line for generating static pages
yes, that's it. every time someone hits a yahoo page, there's a little gnome running a command line and sending it back. it's actually very cost effective since they work for underpants.
Why would you want to cheat playing a game that can't be won?
by the same token, why cheat at a game that can be won? I play on yahoo chess and every once in a while I will get tricked into a lightning game where there's simply no time to move. I usually just resign at that point and let my opponent collect the rating points, but I wonder what kind of satisfaction somebody can really get from winning that way. to me it's like admitting that you're not good enough to win honestly.
On the other hand I can understand what motivates people to cheat on their taxes, and by virtual extension, cheating at games like sims online.
funny. i've always thought fight club was entirely too overrated
fight club was one of a handful of movies that I consider great. also one of the most quotable movies of all time.
who remembers when they're making designer soaps out of human fat that they raided from a liposuction clininc and norton says thy were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them... priceless.
At the end of the day it's the users who are going to decide what the 'preferred platform' is
I'm sure a lot of Mac users will still prefer a platform where photoshop doesn't crash every so often and cause them to lose hours of work.
I don't think cpu is really as big a bottleneck as people here are making it out to be. maybe for something like 3dstudio max, but not so much for Photoshop.
Slashdot Mirror
do you ever get the feeling that people you see on the television are trying to communicate with you?
no, first priority is hitting the saddam statue's head with a shoe. then breakfast. then getting on the net

There is no statute of limitations on stealing an election
No, but there is a general window in which your peers will allow you to harp on it. That window has been closed now for quite some time.
The Supremes just upheld a law that makes burning a cross at a gathering a crime.
not surprising since they're all black, but when did diana ross' backup singers get influence in the legislative branch?

I predict that in 500 years organic handhelds will finally replace pc's. They will have bioluminescent backlit displays and be powered by human farts.
And yes, there will be a headphone jack.
where exactly do you have to go to find a chick who 'doesn't normally get' soda?
It is damn cool though, and the chicks dig it
no, it's not cool at all. and the chicks just didn't want to hurt your feelings.

no offense

well I guess he must have meant we can expect Linux to take 10% of MS' market share.
or that one in ten MS employees will be beaten to death by a linux geek. Hey that's plausible too!
Peter Jackson feel that the extra time will cement the film's status...
plus it will allow him extra time to work on 'King Kong vs. Godzilla II'
is that the going rate these days for planting tulips?
but it's april fools day, not groundhog day.
Taco Bell Corporation has announced that they have bought slashdot and are changing the name of CmdrTaco to CmdrTacoBell.
actually only the guy driving the truck is a sanitation engineer. the guys hanging off the back are 'trash monkeys'.
has anyone gotten a gameboy emulator running on this thing? comments?

It's a very small step from branding kids with these tracking units to implanting tracking units in every citizen
sure, just like it's a small step from making your kid eat vegetables to soylent-green world. get a grip.
but I need hot pockets and spongebob videos.
