Really? Trolls have a posting history as long as mine? I must be one dedicated troll.
your post is flamebait of the first degree
Because I disagree with another poster and the groupthink.
down to your counter-moderation comment and accusation of bias
You honestly expect me to believe that there isn't groupthink and bias here? It's almost gotten as bad as Digg and Reddit.
You are a bad troll at that.
Maybe I'm not a troll? Maybe I'm someone that - gasp, horror - disagrees?
You don't even have your claims right, different groups.
Uh, yes, I do.
The prediction of eating each other was from overpopulation, and that was never more than a fringe belief of a bunch of Malthusian believers and not based on any hard science.
Sorry there, buddy, but it wasn't a "fringe" view. Claiming it was, now, is pathetic CYAing because it didn't turn out that way.
The cooling trend was because of two factors, undocumented particulate effects and miscallibrated satellites producing erroneous data.
And the science is perfect now, right? Those guys back then had it wrong, but you have it right now?
Dude. Seriously. Fuck off. Call me when your neighbor is eating you alive and the temp is 150F.
If anyone can definitively prove it is not happening they'd get a Nobel prize for it.
Damn hard to get funding when the world doesn't want to hear a dissenting view.
The same fucktards that said - by the year 2000, folks! - we'd be eating each other to survive and predicted a global ice age during the 70s are the same fucktards behind global warming.
Fuck the planet. After we're done raping this rock for every resource, we'll move on to the next one.
Not trolling, not trying to flame - it's how I truly feel. Since I'm not worshipping "Gaia" or bashing "Bush", I'll get modded to hell... but, you know, I care about that as much as I care about the fucking spotted owl.
Most people never read their bills, so it will slip by unnoticed. It'll be posted on Consumerist, eventually, but it'll be too late to do anything about it.
It's also the DUMBEST thing the Democrats could ever do. It would be seen as such an illegal affront to conservative radio listeners that nothing would re-mobilize the conservative base more.
McCain doesn't appeal to Conservatives (he's a rino), but a threat to talk radio... and, maybe, a chance to pack the Supreme Court... would get 'em fired up.:)
So if users actually _use_ it, why put the blame on Adobe?
They don't know any better.
If that sounds elitist, well... Oh, well.
Perhaps the fundamentalist
Here's a tip, boys and girls: whenever you see the word "fundamentalist", mentally replace it with "consistent". It's a quick way to clear up any obfuscation and propagandization.
notion that _everything_ must be free (as in speech)
Bush, Cheney, et al told so many lies in the lead up to the Iraq war that it's difficult to keep track of them all. Just off the top of my head (and sticking to things we know):
Got those saved in a text file just waiting to paste them the second you get a chance?
I could easily refute each and every point, but it would be pointless. Nothing more than hitting a wall... or trying to convince a Creationist that there isn't a God.
To claim that they didn't lie about anything regarding Iraq is either a sign of coolaid overdose, sock puppetry, or terminal cluelessness.
I stand by my statement. History will be the judge.
Isn't there something in the US Constitution that says the armed forces must never operate within the USA itself?
I've spent the last few minutes trying to think up a response to this, but I've failed. I've come to the conclusion that you're either a non-American (in which case, your ignorance of American law is perfectly understandable) or one of the most ignorant sacks of shit I've encountered in my life.
Slashdot Mirror
So yes, visit Cuba before it's too late,
If you're an American, you're putting yourself at risk. But, hey, Fight Da Powa... right?
while the population is still relatively innocent,
That is, isolated and deprived.
crime levels are extraordinarily low,
As reported by the Communist government. Potemkin village, anyone?
and an extended vacation can be had for a song (or two).
Exploit 'em before the rest of the West gets a chance!
radio is less and less relevant today
Pop your bubble, man.
He may be a son of a bitch, but he's my son of a bitch.
Then Obama flip-flopped
Get used to it. Once he has to - gasp, horror - debate McCain... a lot of the dreams people have painted Obama with will be washed away.
McCain in 08, baby! ;D
I think there are some psychological classifications for people who don't see reality properly.
Because I disagree with the majority, you question my sanity?
It's a real shame that you can't do what the Soviets did to people who disagreed - that is, lock them away "for their own good", huh?
It would be so much easier for you and your ilk to "save the world" if people like me were thrown into a cell and silenced.
And this post makes you even more of a troll. You are trolling this article.
And defending myself makes me a troll.
I rest my case.
you'll get modded to hell because you're a troll

E.P.A. = Easily Pacified Americans
Instead of bashing Americans - I know, it's so easy to do and makes you look hip and intellectual - how about bashing BRIC?
This couldnt be more f'd up
Oh, stfu. You ain't sufferin and you won't be.

We do, however, have some of the most aggressive bums in the world.
No personal numbers have a 555 prefix.
Bingo.
Let's dissect the number I posted: 415=SF Bay Area, 555=generic prefix, 7368=SDOT.
Most cell spam is sent via email.
If you get cellphone spam I truly feel sorry for your personal information, it must be on every bathroom wall in the US.

SSDD.
It has to be a really slow news day if we get an article explaining what is in specific pieces of spam.
I'm a fan of the subjects. Here's a handful I've received recently:
It's basic marketing / copywriting.
I shall try to remember in future that being a "non-American" is functionally equivalent to being an ignorant sack of shit.
Go out and get a tan. Your skin is too damn soft, man.
Let's look at what I said:
I've come to the conclusion that you're either a non-American (in which case, your ignorance of American law is perfectly understandable)
That wasn't a personal attack. I, for example, don't have a damn clue how European law works. I am, let's say it together, ignorant of it.
or one of the most ignorant sacks of shit I've encountered in my life.
You would only qualify as a "sack of shit" if you were an American. Since, as an American, you should have learned the basics of the American system.
And this shows that Linux is now usable for non-geeks when preinstalled.
Oh, goodie! So, we're going to have an army of twats using unpatched Linux boxes! Microsoft, at least, has Windows Update.
I predict, within five years, a... Oh, fuck it. No one will see this.
but the OS itself is just as usable as Windows.
Usability? That's Apple's domain.
It's also the DUMBEST thing the Democrats could ever do. It would be seen as such an illegal affront to conservative radio listeners that nothing would re-mobilize the conservative base more.

As in Rights.
is just too extreme for, hmmmm, real people?
As opposed to the Fairies of Lalaland?
I'll pick freedom over safety. Any day.
I have porn in one, pics of the GF in another,
Aren't those one in the same?
Thankfully, most people are careless with their homemade pr0n. I mean, uh, nevermind....
As a high school English teacher I only have one (sad thing) to contribute here.
Hopefully you've escaped the public school system.
At first I thought you were joking.
Nope.

Or a troll.
I bow to you, sir, for shocking me.
If old computer magazines are your idea of an investment, you better learn to love the taste of cat food.
So you're looking to digitize "Gaming" magazines... I guess you can call 'em that...
You never played Beaver Hunt?
