What do they call the part of the news story where the original, unfounded claim, appears on Slashdot 3 months after the internet has declared it dead an buried?
It's amazing what being generally nice to your customers, delivering what you promise and not trying to ass-rape them at every turn can get you when you finally do screw up isn't it?
So... it's Christmas, you have your entire family over, Uncle Pete is drunk again... doing his rendition of Grandma got ran over by a rain deer... trips of your sons new dump truck, reaches up to balance himself and pulls the entire hive down and crushes it under his drunken body as your relatives look on in horror. There's about a 3 second pause before you hear a single slurred word from Uncle Pete: "Owe... I think I gots bit er somthin... *gurgle*" the room erupts in screaming as people start climbing over each other trying to get to the door. Queue the Monty Python music, you'd better hope Santa brings you some calamine lotion.
The news is that the reporters are puppets for their respective governments and didn't report it. Notice the only part of the conversation to get made public is the tabloid naughty talk. There was probably all sorts of real news in there, but we're sure as hell not going to hear about that.
Seriously, did they really think Palm wasn't going to fail? What on earth were they thinking? Has Palm ever done an OS correctly? EVER? Lets see, their competitors were Apple, which has been lauded as the most user friendly in every type of OS they've ever produced... Google, who doesn't seem to be able to write anything that geeks don't love... and Microsoft... ok, maybe they could steal all 25 of Microsoft's mobile customers. Good Business decision HP... oh wait, I forgot, HP makes all their money off of printer ink.
Why doesn't this happen to me? Christ, I'd have so much fun with it. Stick it to a UPS truck for a couple days... then maybe a freight train... or a cargo container. OOOOO... Weather balloon! Seriously, I'd be pretty giddy if I had the chance to screw with the feds like that.
Ron Paul... duh... and I'm pretty sure he'll do it to. I think his answers to slashdot questions would be very interesting indeed. I doubt any other candidate would come near this site with a 1000ft pole.

and if something goes wrong, they can blame the contracting corp they hired. That's why.
But I think what people were hoping for with this generation of kindle was a kindle with just a tad more improvements. Basically, the kindle fire isn't a kindle. The Kindles they did come out with are identical to the last kindle with the exception of a touch screen that's nothing more than a gimmick. I think what everyone was expecting was COLOR e-ink first of all... then maybe a decent web browser... better PDF support or at least a way to convert PDFs into something readable. Maybe some tools, a calculator, calendar, I dunno, something to add some utility.
I'm already living near a nuclear reactor, you probably are as well. That reactor is not endangering my health in the least. The hundreds of coal fired plants surrounding it however are shortening both mine and your lifespans by several years.
it says "adjacent" non-gm plants. Meaning that, even if you put it right next to regular rice it still has a very low chance of cross polination. So if you don't put it next to rice you don't have the problem. This doesn't even factor in the chance that the cross pollination actually leads to anything bad... which is almost certainly even lower.
I think you need to learn to read. It says specifically: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" CONGRESS and the purpose of this line is plain, they wanted to make sure the government did not pass a law creating a state religion, i.e. the church of England. Their intent was not to allow freedom of religion but freedom of christian religions. Had they any idea of all the non-Christians that would eventually end up here they probably would have written it differently, much to our detriment.
Now, don't get me wrong. There should be an amendment made that expressly separates church and state. I'd vote for it, that's for sure. But it currently does not exist.
So the government gives loans to the poor, to go to a school that it is statistically unlikely that they will graduate from, learn anything from, or even gain any positive benefit from. Then the government demands return payment under penalty of law of this money, which has in every way you look at it, passed directly from the government to schools and teachers that have through tenure been guaranteed high paying, high benefit jobs for the rest of their natural lives. These schools have failure rates that are staggering when reviewed by any measure you can think of, and if forced to rely just on the money that came in from graduating students would be forced to either take drastic pay cuts or shutter their doors. The poor are then forced to spend a large portion of the beginning of their careers paying back loans, that payed for their boss to graduate. It's an inefficient, un-subtle and demeaning tax on the poor to pay for the wealthys education and keep tenured professors in plush offices teaching one or two classes a week. It's typical of a well meaning government program that's been corrupted by rich people that want a free ride, and lazy intellectuals that want to get paid exorbitant amounts of money for contributing to the humanities. As usually, the government should just stay the hell out of it and we'd all be better off.
His point is still valid. There are plenty of investment vehicles that are just as stable as treasury bonds. The thing you should have learned over the past few years is that credit ratings are total bullshit.
And the piratebay is useful if you want to see movies that wont be released for another 3 months and would prefer not to sit through previews. The qualities usually better as well.
That was St. Helens... This is a super valcano. There's no stopping this sort of thing without startrek level of tech. At best we'd cool the crust, basically putting a stopper on a pipebomb... we'd be making it worse for when it actually did erupt.
Economic control is not merely control of a sector of human life which can be separated from the rest; it is the control of the means for all our ends. And whoever has sole control of the means must also determine which ends are to be served, which values are to be rated higher and which lower, in short, what men should believe and strive for. --Friedrich Hayek
The problem isn't that the government is controlling money in the wrong way... or in the wrong interest... the problem is that the government is trying to control money in the first place.
Exactly, we limit the powers of the government control over everyone... including those we wish to control (in this case, corporations) because eventually those with wealth and power will turn that control against us.

"You have to be terribly imaginative to see life coming up on worlds like that."
Um... no you don't. There are even theories out there for life that could exist inside a stars corona.

The first shot would likely break both your wrists. Good luck holding onto it for the other 8 rounds in the clip.

"Seriously, what more could he have done short of implementing a police state?"
Oh, I dunno, don't let people take them to a bar?
until they decide to use the technology on us. Then it will be bad. At least we don't have to worry about them assassinating a US citizen right?

What's you're talking about is called Totalitarianism. It is generally considered to be a bad thing.
