First of all, I'm at a public terminal, hence my reluctance to sign in.
Any excuse will do when you're caught out, huh? Sorry, but you're full of shit.
Second, do you mean to tell me that posting under the name "hassanchop" makes you any less anonymous?
Yes. Are you really that stupid? MY statement are attributable to ME. They color my future posts, and the responses to said posts. It's not hard, but you seems to be having difficulty.
And third, your threats to eat a burger and chop some trees assume that anyone who disagrees with you on one thing disagrees with everything
No, it assumes those things will piss you off. They will, and your "doth protest too much" moment just then makes it clear I was right and they will. You'll claim otherwise, but it will be just as believable as a "public terminal".
And very angry
Yeah, activists who try to force their agenda on me and in so doing restrict my legal right to engage in an activity DO anger me.
So, I can't wait to hear the new excuses, I expect they'll be just as emty and worthless as everything else you've said.
There was NOTHING in that post that was flamebait. Are you people really so devoid of intellectual ability that you have to censor anything that doesn't kowtow to your beliefs?
And my karma is STILL excellent, and you're still a pathetic fascist joke.
Keep wasting those mod points twat, why bother modding tings up when you can censor those you can't refute right?
Absurd argument? Dude, you obviously did not the article linked.
I did, and I still think it's absurd. What now AC?
I say your response is the absurd one. You bother to look no deeper than "us" vs. "them."
I say you're a pathetic AC who's opinion I couldn't care less about. If you thought what you had to say was worth a damn, you'd put your fucking name to it.
Just for you AC, I'm going to buy some ivory billiards, then eat a cheeseburger, then chop down some trees in the woods behind my house FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

Or am I not allowed to think this non-story is a story?
The Psychology department uses flight simulators to help deal with human factors problems
I worked on this program during my first undergrad degree. It was... not as exciting as you seem to think. Sorry, maybe it's changed since then (only been 8 years though...)
Much more interesting was Dr. Dunn's (Mr. Dr. Dunn, not his hot wife Mrs. Dr. Dunn) SURG, the substance use research group. It was a lot of fun to work on.

They must be willing to try to pick up the new habits the game is trying to teach.
WTF are you talking about? Your post betrays a gross misunderstanding of addiction and the behaviors associated with it.
In this case, you wouldn't be "teaching new habits" you'd be removing the links to the old one, which is done without the need for any real cognition. You simply put them in a situation where they would normally abuse, but can't.
There are no "new habits" to be "picked up" only old ones to be extinguished.
That a company can engage in "unfair" business practices, which are illegal, without being a 100% monopoly. You will then be told how Intel did unpleasant things to customers in order to force them into positions favorable to Intel.
If you're anything like me, you'll roll your eyes and pretend this nothing story matters.
I by no means toe the politically correct line but....you are either ignorant or heartless.
Why is it when discussions like this occur people like yourself resort to emotional arguments?
Oh right, because it's the only one you have that isn't absurd. A word of advice, there is a portion of the population that see through crap like that and will roundly reject your position as a direct result of your hamhanded attempts at emotional manipulation.
"THINK OF THE _______"
Most of the time we deride people because that blank is filled with "children". You filled it with "elephants" and seem to think that makes the position less absurd somehow.
Long story short, importation is possible in many cases, and it DOES matter when it was (over 100 yrs is ok) and when it was legally purchased.
The statement "They strip it out of pianos that are imported into the US. It doesn't matter when it was made, they'll still destroy it." is just factually incorrect.
I'm missing the part that says that Legend PC used licensed IBM technology in 1998.
Look harder or learn to read better? Just a thought.
It just states that the IBM and Lenovo product lines were independent until the 2000s, which is exactly what I said.
NO it doesn't, and NO you didn't. Not only are you wrong, you're a fucking liar now too. Not surprising.
Try again, I'll give you all the time you need.
I don't think there is enough time for me to teach you how to read adequately, so why would I waste it like that?
You're wrong AND now you're lying. Really, based on the stupidity and factual inaccuracy of your original posts and your intense defense of said stupidity and inaccuracy I should have expected it.
I guess since this is Slashdot, your nuanced "argument" wins over my misinterpretation of statute.
FYP to make it accurate.
Why would I bother enlightening you on the link you misunderstood when
a) you've proven time and again to be a colossal asshole b) you posted a link, and with all authority, proceed to openly and egregiously misread and misinterpret it in a basic, fundamentel way
Well? I just felt like telling you you were wrong, I couldn't care less about demonstrating that it's true since you're such a cunt you'd deny it till your death.
You're just wrong, no discussion or persuasion necessary. However, since you're being a huge dick, circumvention is allowed for purposes of interoperability. Had you read YOUR OWN FUCKING LINK with any kind of comprehension you'd know that.
SO, you're still wrong, only now you know why. Proceed to be a twat and try to pretend otherwise.
A simple search [google.com] would've answered your questions regarding the Patriot Act and indefinite detention.
That's not what I asked for and betrays your ignorance of the US judicial system.
I asked for court cases FOR A REASON. You link is useless.
Care to try again, or will you admit there ARE NO COURT CASES that demonstrate you are correct with your assertion?
As for your other comments: why do you think that comparing the judicial responses of two of the Western democratic nations engaged in the "war on terror" is inappropriate?
WHere did I use the word "inappropriate" or even imply it? I was making an observation about the inevitability of such a comparison when a non-US country is portrayed in a bad light, as some kind of ridiculous tu quoque defense mechanism.
Inevitably, when a discussion of privacy in a country other than the US arises, people come out of the woodwork to make comparisons to US policies even though the article has fuck all to do with the US.
Guess what? In many countries you can also be detained "forever" (which is an inaccurate analysis of the Patriot Act anyway, please post a link to a court decision proving otherwise if you have one (you don't)) so what's with the hard on about the US?
Why do so many foreigners have such an inferiority complex about the US?
Anything can be misused as an assistive technology for dictators in their efforts to control their people.
It's RIGHT THERE. THE FIRST SENTENCE IN HIS POST.
You understood.
Google and Yahoo, to name 2, have been roundly slagged for making it easier for repressive governments to control their citizenry.
And ou can't see the very obvious and real difference between actively collaborating with the opressive government and providing a toll that can, in certain instance, be used by said oppressive government?
Nope, I definitely did think Iraq had no WMDs, as did everyone I spoke to in the UK
1) I don't believe you.
2) Others from Europe (and specfically the UK) have said the opposite.
The anti war demo shows we were "screaming it from the top of our lungs right from the start"
Um, they were anti war rallies guy, it had fuck all to do with what was known or unknown, they were against the war PERIOD. Why is that so hard for you to understand, and why do you think I'm going to let you pretend otherwise?
Sure, but none anywhere near that scale....
God, fuck off. You're just flailing because you know you're full of shit now.
I'm just going to lay this right out, YOU ARE A LIAR.

It looks like your pathetic ass has resorted to posting AC after getting caught lying.
Why would I care what a lying douche who posts AC to spout off thinks?
I did, and I still think it's absurd. What now AC?
I say you're a pathetic AC who's opinion I couldn't care less about. If you thought what you had to say was worth a damn, you'd put your fucking name to it.

Seeing as you admitted to being stupid in this post
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=573885&cid=23680343
In all seriousness, why would anyone give a fuck what you thought when you freely admit you're stupid?
Seriously, this is hogwash. I defy you to prove otherwise, perhaps with a citation that is conspicuously absent from your post.
Yes, that you are intentionally misrepresenting the arguments in order to fabricate a position to argue against.
Oh, that's not what you meant?

Go ahead and run, you have no other option.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo#Legend-Lenovo-IBM_Time_Line
No it wasn't, but both that point and the one you were orginially trying to make are moronic and destroyed.
So, now that you've been proven totally wrong, care to fuck off?
Thanks.
Wow, after wasting your mod points on me, NOTHING changed, my karma is still excellent.
Sucks to be made completely impotent when you're trying to shut me down, doesn't it?
I didn't claim YOU were talking about ANYTHING, so once again you look like an idiot.
Nope. And since I didn't do that in this case either, what the fuck are you running your dicksucker about?\
You mean like you did in this very post?
How fucking stupid are you?
YOU seemed compelled to, so that's an exceedingly moronic statement.
And yet YOU did say something to me.
I agree, you are stupid.
Then you're a moron.
1) I don't believe you.
2) Others from Europe (and specfically the UK) have said the opposite.
Um, they were anti war rallies guy, it had fuck all to do with what was known or unknown, they were against the war PERIOD. Why is that so hard for you to understand, and why do you think I'm going to let you pretend otherwise?

Nothing you can say will change that.
