Hello, we've been in a God damn global recession for the past couple of years. And as we come OUT of recession, the food stamp usage will decrease again.
What did you expect to happen with food stamp statistics ?
You might just as well take unemployment figures and project "OMGZ, in 10 years, no one will have a job in America".
You can't take 2 years of figures and use them to project 10 years into the future. Hell, statistically speaking, you would not even use a dataset with only 2 points in ANY regression calculation.
So stop with the doom and gloom projections please, your evidence is statistically insignificant.
Of course the overriding theme of "Global Warming" is that extra CO2 is causing extra warming. If you make the theme "Climate Change", and then point out that this winter was colder than last winter, some people might start asking awkward questions like "what the fuck is making it colder ?".
If the current trend continues 2 of 4 children will be food stamps by the end of 2012.
So they're putting children into a paper-mill, rolling them really flat, and then printing currency denominations and pictures of business lunches on them ? Won't that be rather messy ?
This might not work, because many people like myself, have a handle on the situation
A handle on reality might be a better start.
do the bidding of the bankers and initiate an attack that will start WWIII
I'm curious why the bankers wish to initiate World War 3 ? Longer lunch breaks ? Even shorter opening hours than at present ? And of course, the obvious question is why bankers would want to change ANYTHING, when Obama is happy to keep handing them billions of dollars for doing nothing ?
Choose your side wisely.
WHICHEVER SIDE YOU AREN'T ON, YOU FUCKING LUNATIC ! PLEASE SEEK MEDICAL / PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP ASAP.
I mean, can a murderer negotiate with the Justice Department, so that he agrees to halt murdering anyone else, with having to admit to any murders he already committed ?
Why exactly is it called the "Justice Department" ?
Seems like if you are a corporation, you can avoid the whole "justice" bit just by having a few meetings with the "right people" and greasing some palms.
Anyway, the increasing trend these days is for said "immigrants" to pay as little as possible into the tax and pension scheme, rather send as much money as they can home to their own country (thus draining funds from the local economy), so they can build a house and live like a king once they retire.
I always thought the primary purpose of war was to kill as many of the other blokes as possible. That way, once you won, there was less of the buggers left to get annoyed at all the raping and pillaging you were doing.
I seem to remember a while back some assholes suggesting that content and presentation should (sorry, they insisted MUST) be separated. While some of us fought it tooth and nail, the masses of buzzword obsessed PHBs won, with their demands that every page be W3C compliant, meaning web designers would strip 99% of the markup out to a separate CSS file to hide it where the validator wouldn't find it.
So now we have a generation of web designers (the last 5 years batches, I'd guess), who place all their content inside div tags, then do all the font, color, and positioning stuff via CSS. The majority of webpages today are NOTHING but a pile of div tags controlling menus, sidebars, main content areas etc.
Won't THAT work well when we have to start blocking all the div tags in a page, ONE BY ONE...
This little div has some content This little div has none This little div has a commercial This little div has a song And this little div went whee whee whee all over your fucking dumb idea.
And forget about HTML5 canvas helping you, that's just a div that you can draw on with 25 year old turtle commands, and anything more complex than a blue square and a yellow rectangle will be kludged with PNGs, transparency and z-index same as always.
Welcome to HTML5, it's gonna be a wild ride. Or a blank page, if you are using canvas block and div block. Take your pick.
So are the majority of the HTML5 "demos" being touted as the future of the web.
I was exploring some "HTML5 demos" the other day... bunches of timed PNGs on layers, controlled by js. The only HTML5 tag in most of them was an <audio> tag, and amusingly enough they had fallback tags to the <object> we all know and love.
Presumably the world will be a much better place when we have separate audio and video tags as opposed to that outmoded, messy object tag that does EXACTLY THE SAME THING. Ah, progress...
Really, it seems like one of the (very) few HTML5 things that work across browsers is the contenteditable attribute, which Internet Explorer has implemented since I believe version 6, and was widely condemned at the time by the "purists" as it wasn't part of the "official" HTML 4 spec.
Just like the innerHTML attribute, MS implemented something that wasn't in the spec, got slagged to hell for it, and then had it copied by all the other browsers playing catchup.

I happen to like bright orange colored pee !

The sky is not falling just yet, Chicken Little.
And as proof of concept, you are trying to seed the same comment randomly through the Slashdot "page" space ?
No, seventh.

Perhaps CO2 also flies south for the winter ?
Meanwhile, good AC comments get zero.
You got -1, surely meaning yours was a bad AC comment. How ironic.
Yes, that's why car suspensions are made of a solid piece of steel, as opposed to swingarms, hydraulics, springs, pins etc. etc.
Solid lumps of stuff are always "safer". *facepalm*

God you make me ashamed to be an American
I didn't know God WAS American ?
For one thing, you've not existed more than 234 years ... I'm pretty sure God was around BEFORE then ?
Oops, I meant to say "The way to prevent copyright infringement" ... but either works for me to be honest.
I'd like you to grow up and stop endorsing shitty behaviour like the MPAA outsourcing their scumbaggery to the 3rd world.
The way to prevent copyright is through the legal system, NOT by employing fucking Indians to DDOS torrent servers.
I think they call it "plea bargaining" in the US. You admit you did it, then they let you off to do it again.
It's the only way to curb their rampant healthcare costs for all the jailed prisoners complaining of mutilated assholes and inside out colons.
So are you saying any form of spam filtering is censorship?
Well, yes of course it is !
Anytime someone decides they don't like something, and actively attempts to block it, it is censorship.
No, just unlikely she'd use a phone. Facebook would be favorite, Twitter a close second.

and allow immigrants in from Asia
Where, exactly, do you think Japan IS ?

Dalek's don't navigate stairs. They level the building.
Attack Formation 7. Which is composed of three Daleks side by side shooting at the same time.
I've been trying to work out what Attack Formations 1 through 6 might be.
Sorry, showing my age now ...
When I said layers, I was meaning divs (you know, the thing that replaced layers when reflowing content became fashionable).
Not a canvas tag in sight.
Good luck with that div block.

If it's "Plain Old Text", why do I have to escape (and sometimes fail to escape) < > " & as HTML entities ?
