Today's 2000-era generation thinks it's perfectly okay to tap into their neighbor's wireless internet, even though it's costing their neighbor extra money.
What could you possibly mean by that?
Are we talking the initial USD$70 cost for the wireless router? Is there some sort of "I have a wireless Internet connection and therefore pay a larger Internet bill" fee that I don't know about?
I read a webcomic once that basically made the point that they're going to keep rehashing shit and driving the series into the ground.
The two best ideas I've heard for a ST series are one about Section 31 (similar to stuff like Alias, but in Star Trek) and one about the 29th century with the timeships and all that.
LOTS of shows did time-travel well and there's a lot of variety and cookie cutter plots that could easily fill a half dozen seasons - just look at stuff like Dr. Who, Quantum Leap, Seven Days, etc.
Either of those would be a nice change for the series instead of just more "HAY GUYZ WATS GOIN ON IN THIS GALAXY?!!!1!!!11 exploration-based shows.
We American's don't salute the flag. We pledge allegiance to our flag and everything it represents - not just the nation itself, but its ideals.
I refused to say the pledge in high school as I'm an Atheist and I object to the "Under God" bit. I stand out of respect, but I don't salute in any way nor do I say the pledge.
My homeroom teacher was in the Air Force and she really didn't like me for that, especially since I said, "Thank you for your service to this wonderful country that allows me to express my dissent."
Not all prepaid services are 10c/minute/text - many are closer to $0.25-$1.00 a minute. Moreover, T-Mobile's service is shit damn near everywhere I've went. I've had my T-Mobile phone pretty much all over New England and I can't ever remember seeing 4 bars. I'd occasionally get 3.
Maybe we need the equivalent of a union, but instead of fighting for our jobs they fight for things like privacy and civil liberty.
Well actually, we already have those in stuff like the ACLU and EFF. So it's just really the people who don't bother with those organizations that are to blame. If everyone in America gave $1 to either of them we'd certainly have more power.

That just sounds like a homeless zombie to me...
"Chaaaaaaaaaange..."

I don't know what Ray thinks but I'll ask him.
Waitasec, I thought this WAS Ray... unless...
My God, you're dictating your Slashdot posts to your secretary. You magnificent bastard.
That's how someone like Radar O'Reilly could survive.
With some editing, it makes a bitchin' haiku.

I'm a gentile.
The rest of us refer to that as the Internal Revenue Service.
That's just because so many of them read the book "Freud on the Materials and Subject of Peter Cottontail."
Apparently, the "Bunny Trail" is a symbolic representation of one's latent homosexual desires. It's quite an interesting read!
Nasa needs to outright lie and say something like we found... space oil or some shit like that on Mars.
We'd have a new shuttle program within a week.
To the conspiracy theorists, Nashi is really a cover operation that is being blackmailed by the Greys, the Masons, and the Illuminati.
Or something like that...
Seven Days was a show based entirely around reset-button plots, and it was awesome.

The entire patent system sounds like a drunken game of Magic: The Gathering.
"I tap five swamp and play Dread Patent Lawyer. 8/8, Haste, Unblockable, Lifelink, Litigious."
Perhaps he should have sold a few dozen acres and lived within his means, then, instead of trying to hold onto something he can no longer afford.
If gasoline is at $5 a gallon and you're going broke driving your SUV, you sell your SUV and buy a more fuel-efficient car.
If there were 49 states with this law, most of these businesses would move to the 1 state smart enough not to have it.
One state's gain in consumer taxes is another's gain in business taxes, jobs, and great benefit to the local economy.
You turn your computer off?
Couldn't you just, you know, freeze it?
That would be insanely hard to work cross=platform. Maybe on a few phones, yeah, but not all.
This could be a cool iPhone or Android app.
also, I know that most german TV networks offer their content to watch online (though their TV imho, isn't worth watching).
I beg to differ. After all, look at the sheer genius of a simple forklift safety video.

What about quadriplegics with hay fever? They're doomed, I say, DOOMED!
Maybe he meant two syllables?
The people who say "I will do that" are the kind who are already halfway up the clock tower stairs with a high caliber rifle.

That's why I prefer the cars where the driver's side door will only lock if you actually put in the key and lock it. Otherwise it's never locked.
Some modern cars do this as well, but you have to have the remote or lock it manually. Either way, if your keys are in the car, you can't lock it up.
