In my meme theory, a key indicator that meme growth is entering death phase is when politicians pick it up.
Cf. the macarena with the Clintons and now CA Attorney Gen (and candidate for governor) Jerry Brown w/ 25 things (his fb page)
Wow... very very interesting; perhaps because if a politician says it, it magically become instantly boring.
NOW, for the sake of god and country, I must state that I will not vote for any politician who goes Goatse'ing around.
"You could close the loop on a false fact back then just as easy, it just took more time. I found many of them, typically getting me yelled at by a history teacher. Me getting suspended about the history classes being full of lies and half truths..
I loved finding a blatantly wrong thing in a textbook and then a teacher foolish enough to try and defend that falsehood as a fact."

...then just accidentally delete IBM from the map.
There is no way one can protect IBM US-based jobs (the inneficient ones) without losing competitivity on the long run to folks like these that work for peanuts. It's just something called capitalism, and nothing politicians can do to stop it.
Plase back everything up frist! Send it to us at editor@wikileaks.org and we'll store that data for you for free. We have mirror sites to protect the data; just send it before encrypting it.
How are they going to do that? Protecting the US market to IBM? That will only make IBM charge more and become less competitive, tanking the US.
Lehman is dead. All employees have been fucked in the behind. If IBM dies, all employees are out of work, not only a handful. That's the thing about protectionism. In the long run, you become a closed, fucked-up economy.
Oh well, fuck it. It's your country anyway. Why should I give a crap?
Hmm.
niggardly/ngrdli/ -adjective
1. reluctant to give or spend; stingy; miserly.
2. meanly or ungenerously small or scanty: a niggardly tip to a waiter.
I think the 2nd usage is somewhat close to my intent, but not exactly. 'Niggling' works better. Your complaint about it sounding like a racial slur is pretty much irrelevant to me, though. It would only seem racist to somebody viewing it through a pre-existing racist filter.
It would only seem racist to somebody viewing it through an american filter.
IBM must assure its survival; not keep inefficient jobs. If Lehman can die, so can IBM.
The USA has the best universities and the best talent in the globe--that's where IBM (and all others must concentrate, the hardest, most value-added tasks). The rest goes away, baby, like it or not, to some far away land where people talk weird and spend all day building iPods.
Let me tell you something: I'm from Brazil, a PIECE OF SHITE country (despite the awesomeness of the girls), and you know why it's a fuckup? Because our politicians and economists have always tried to protect this banana republic from Schumpeter and David Ricardo. If America goes that route, well, let me just tell you: it backfires.
There are so many tech-areas expanding and so many opportunities in the US that one wonders why the fuck so many whining protectionists don't start working on android, iphone, adobe air, palm's pre system, and other ??? profit! opportunities up for grabs.
Not only netbooks. Anything below the $400 price point can't afford $30+ if there's a cheaper alternative. Probably some larger laptops (13"?) will use atoms of via nanos and drop the dvd. With more space, they could run cooler and get even cheaper parts. Anything below $250 cannot afford $30+ for windows. All the upcoming ***tops below $250 will run linux, I bet.
Answering to myself... here's the Wikipedia Village Pump discussison about the proposal. The proposal was rejected (or at least not implemented), since it was thought to produce a disincentive for editing signed articles.
Yup, true, but it's flying NOW! Jimmy Wales just announced it today. (Probably on/. tomorrow.)
Do they know how to read?
As much as I am glad to see their new MS-repeatfuckup, I wish we had fewer distros of linux. And, irony of ironies, probably the same people going HAHAHAHA here are to be found in the recent post where prophet Linus declared that billions of distros were greatest thing around on the monkeysphere.
Uh, I hate to tell you, but Amazon doesn't offer ANY mp3 store in most places in the world. In fact, many of the products available in their US store are off limits to most of the world.

not if the article is deleted by those fucks
Of course, the fact that this involves Wikipedia really is not all that important indeed; it could just as well have been about some other site,
It could never happen in slashdot. Or maybe I am new here.

he could be shot also, then buried amongst the non verifiable.
I take exception to the idea that only scholarly journals may be primary sources of information. Your attitude sucks.

He added that at a time of rising unemployment IBM should be looking to keep both the work and the workers in the United States.
This is the most basic law of capitalism. America is about creative destruction at its best. For all this daydreaming, if a job can be done elsewhere for a lower cost, it will in the long run. By IBM or someone else like with weird "Tata" names.

They're goes there creativity right their.
WTF, AC? You hacked me? How did you get this other comment? I'm changing my passwd, fucking prick.
By the way, HP, WHERE IS THE FUCKING CODE? I'm guessing here you have to release it, or face my fury!

Great place to start looking for information though.

Hope not, that would mean no more Slashdot :(
You must be old here.
Quite frankly, I can't imagine the entire human race losing the imagination.

Chillout, roguetrick. He must be new here.
