Unless you're referring to the way the democrats bent over, shaping themselves into an 'L' to signify 'l'iberal or 'l'eft, I'm gonna go ahead and believe the democrats do NOT represent the left that I seek.
Look, all the 'cool' people are doing Linux, right? But BIG IRON is clearly trying to suck you and your money in. Oh, it's so cheap, but they don't tell you about the hidden costs, do they?
I hate to be an ass, but please run the benchmark again. Then again.
The first time you run it, the CLR JIT compiles it. The second time you run it, the CLR checks if anything needs to be reoptimized for your system. So first time around, it always sucks cock, but on subsequent runs it's much faster...
If it was costing the economy a billion dollars a day, surely it can't be that big of a deal to keep those 250 people employed, now could it? Of the 70 firms that employ West Coast Longshoremen, how many are American companies? And what's wrong with people wanting to keep their jobs so they can put food on their family's table?
I'm planning to commit suicide after I graduate. The biggest obstacle to just killing myself off right now is that I don't want my parents stuck repaying the $120k loans I blew on this worthless college education.
Think about it: reincarnation can't possibly bring you back into a worse situation, right?

Due to head trauma at a very early age, I'm unable to remember anything from more than three days ago unless I have written it down and reread it. So my journal (blog, whatever) is a way of therapy.
It seems that it entertains my friends, and I don't try to disappoint, but when all is said and done, if I don't write it down, it's pretty much gone for good.
I expect that robots will take over the world, and openly hunt humans in a post apocolyptic landscape.
This is actually what I tell people when they tell me they want to study Computer Science. I tell them to study Mechanical or Electrical or Chemical Engineering... Something ANYTHING that might be useful to the last remnants of humanity as we try to fight off the goddamned machines... You won't see a computer scientist blotting out the sun in order to stop them...
I can't believe everyone totally missed this!

The economy is bad because Saddam is a bad man! If we attack Iraq and force a regime change, everything will be hunky dory! I promise!
Drop all the paperpushers, let commercial companies do the mundane stuff like launching satellites, let the Russians run the space stations, let the Canadians build, install, and maintain the equipment, and let's get back to what NASA does best: space exploration.
Enough bullshit, NASA needs to go back to being heroes only. If the JPL discovers anything important w/ publicly funded dollars, put it in the public fucking domain and let the vcs fuck each other for it. I don't see the free market putting people on Mars anytime soon.
That must be why we need to invade Iraq so desperately. We can stockpile all the oil and use it to stay warm when the blizzard of pure death hits us.
Wouldn't an entire year without crops have a seriously fucked up effect on our food supply?
People blamed other people for what happened. The usual suspects were, of course, sinners. But one unusual suspect was the late Benjamin Franklin. Some people believed that Franklin's experiments with lightning rods disrupted heat from the sun.
But Ben Franklin would still figure into all this; as the man who would help provide an explanation. In 1920 American weather researcher William Humphreys read some writings by Ben Franklin. The statesman wrote about the cold summer of 1783. He blamed volcanic dust coming from Iceland for the drop in temperature. From this Humphreys was able to make the connection between summerless 1816 and the explosion of Mount Tambora.

elaborate please?

Just say no to BIG IRON!
Huh? Something must have been left out of the blurb. If I wank 100 times a day to porn, does that mean I'm a professional wanker?
Times change, people change. The Vatican can hold council and change Church laws if things are getting out of hand.
In any case, look for "Least of my Brethren" by Michael Stackpole, it's Catholic Science Fiction.
Not that I'm Catholic or Christian or even religious at all, I just remember that you made this post and it was an interesting story after all.

Someone obviously forgot the hookers and blow.
They come BEFORE the merger, not after.
Do no harm.

Anyone remember Aliens (Ripley, space marines, etc)?
Gateway Station was in L5 orbit... just saying...

wha, story? where?
Nonono, this is clearly the work of some godless hippie liberal who hates America. Clearly the only solution is to invade Iraq!

Because if they did, by now one of them would have contacted the owner(s) of one of these sites and offer to sue slashdot for malicious actions.

Holy shit, Ben's even cooler than I initially thought!
I am far more interested in the analyzing the geosocial implications of people who say "Ready, Steady" instead of "Read, Set" (or vice versa).
