So you'd like your well considered and thoughtful vote (signal) to be swamped in the noise of people whose only motivating factors are the possibility of a free handout? Don't we have enough of that problem already?
Seems to me machine regulators do a fine job of limiting machines so they don't go too far and blow up. How is that not like limiting access to guns so the society doesn't blow up?
Heh. That should get 'em. Oh wait, did I say that out loud?
OH please. Just because a couple of profs had commercial success doesn't at all dismiss the general outlines of Neal's commentary. Tolkien in particular was quite taken off guard by his commercial success, thank you very much. This is quite different from the "usual" commercial writer who is inspired to simply try to "go do it", often from fannish impulses (just look at Harlan Ellison; but not for too long).
Hope you don't have any kind of job that requires creativity or curiousity. I can't say that this I Love Bees thing sounds very interesting to me, but what does it hurt you if other people like it? Obviously SOME people can join in and participate in this thing, or it would be dead dead dead.
Why do you need a torrent? If you've got Steam, you've already got the binaries on your HD. You just need a key, and that doesn't take a torrent....

Well, to give him a little credit, he did try to buck that once he had his "in" to the industry. But that more rebellious David wasn't the one that Pike was referring to, now was it?

You're familiar with David Cassidy and how manufactured he was, right?
Moore absolutely does not respond to any critism of his movie.
You haven't been paying much attention to his defenses all over the place I guess. When added to anonymization, your credibility approaches zero.
As for the "offer" to "respond on air"--yeah, I'm going to speak for what, maybe 10 minutes, after a 90 minute asassinatin of my character, and be able to accomplish what? I suppose if they'd let him submit F911 as his "response", maybe that'd add some balance.:-)
A 15 or 30 minute segment aired far enough in advance to completely discredit itself before the election is hardly comparable to a "documentary" aired 10 days before the election.
Do you want this to go back-to-back with Fahrenheit 9/11? That's the correct comparison. Actually, if Sinclair was willing to air BOTH, I think they'd get some credit for balance. But of course they aren't interested in that.
Never mind the Democratic Gerrymanders in Georgia that are ridiculous, or any of the other dozens or hundreds of times that both parties have controlled redistricting to their own benefit.
And if you're stupid enough to make publically humiliating statements about your (ex) employees, you deserve what you get too. I mean come on; how hard is it to behave like an adult professional and just say he violated policy and was terminated?
So you must have missed Rather's first "non-apology" where he said there was doubt about the documents, but CBS was standing by the truth of the story. Which was so ludicrious that it pretty much destroyed any credibility he might have had. If they'd simply admitted they were too quick to go to "press" with what they had, then I'd agree with you, but they didn't. They got defensive and truculent, and finally had to be beaten into admitting they were completely in the wrong. Even then, it was a "see, this guy tricked us, not our fault" when the fact was, they were just plain too eager to find something bad about Bush.
Don't get me too wrong--I really don't buy the myth of the liberal media in any monolithic sense--but Rather clearly showed his own biases.
This is somewhat ironic, as it's pretty hard to tell how big it is from the pictures going around the 'net
In the picture I saw, he had a big crease in his back. Probably the usual bunchy jacket thing going on, but of course it only takes a little bit of foil to join the tin hat brigade.
Maybe that's true for the DaVinci Code, but any IT pro who can read Digital Fortress all the way through is already in category c. Dan Brown is not the way to do it.

GERMS!!!
Heh. That should get 'em. Oh wait, did I say that out loud?
And is redundant to a funnier and more succinct statement of the same concept.

yah, putting a password in a command line argument is so....secure....

Of course that assumes their website isn't slashdotted to hell. Care to answer the question, since it seems to be right now?
Ah yes, calling someone a jackass because you didn't understand their post. That's definitely my fault. Enjoy your mirror.
Look in a mirror lately?
revision: "not the ARTICLE itself". The story itself as posted is about the Democrats being angry at those evil Republicans.
You know, MAYBE, just MAYBE I was commenting on the idiotic editor who posted the story, and not the story itself.
