    The best way to describe this collision is a blind date that will never end.

    It would take a fundamental, radical shift away from the First Amendment to "block it everywhere".

    You mean like prohibiting free speech? Only allowing it to occur in sealed off cages far away from the eyes of those who need to hear it? Or something else that isn't a radical shift away from free speech?

    Who do you think would do a better job than the USA and why?

    I would have more faith in it being run by Somalian pirates than the US. Because they behave exactly as they portray themselves.

  16. Re:Creativity on Allowing the Mind To Wander Aids Creative Problem Solving · · Score: 1

    Thank you for the response. I actually know several long term Heroin users who all are either successful in their fields or have been. One of them is in his early seventies, still uses Heroin daily and has for over half a century. If you use a computer you will most likely be running software that contains his code or some sort of derivative. I am in awe of this old bloke's mind which appears just as bright today as it was when I met him a quarter of a century ago.

    I also went to school with some guys that got into Heroin. They are all either dead or in gaol. So just to clarify for those that are easily misled -

    Heroin will not give you a big special binary brain. If you do not have access to huge sums of money and/or the ability to earn them you will not have a good time and even those that currently love and care for you could be driven away by the loathsome bastard you will likely become

  17. Re:Creativity on Allowing the Mind To Wander Aids Creative Problem Solving · · Score: 1

    If you wouldn't mind indulging me I am interested to know why you would bring up Heroin addicts in a meth head thread. Do you see an equivalency between them bar your less children point?
    I am truly interested to hear your point of view on the subject.

    Can anyone think of a better way to hawk your product to a community than getting them all together at the urging of their spiritual leaders and then to talk about how your product can protect them from all of the evil out there?

    Are you trying to claim that black men are having sex with white women? OMG when will it all stop. Think I will have to kill myself.

  21. Re:This is good news. on Rutger's Student Dharun Ravi Sentenced To 30-Day Jail Time · · Score: 1

    Its kinda like when you hear about a suicide where somebody jumps in front of a car, and you're like "sucks to be that guy, but at least they didn't jump in front of my car, because that would really suck for me"

    My biggest concern in the above scenario would be the costs and damages to my property. Shouldn't feel guilty about a suicide in that situation as they are thoughtless and arrogant for putting YOU in that situation.
    Does thinking like that make me a bad person? Or am I only a bad person if the life style choices of the person banging up my car are currently popular or trending on twitter?

  22. Re:Did anyone force you to be a gay ? on Rutger's Student Dharun Ravi Sentenced To 30-Day Jail Time · · Score: 1

    Did anyone force him to be gay? YES. It's a genetic predisposition.

    If you are going to claim it is a genetic disposition provide some evidence as they haven't seemed to have found it mapping the human genome. Even some well known gay activists seem to be getting off the born gay gravy train as the position is only tenable if you are a moron.
    If someone commits suicide I couldn't give a flying fuck. Is it because a webcam was used that this story got through /. moderation? I suspect it has more to do with the agendas of the submitter and the moderators.
    I don't come here to read about some weak pathetic gay guy killing himself because this is Slashdot - News for nerds and not Rainbow brigade - News for Gaybos.

  25. At a recent get together a friends new boyfriend(it was a short romance) was telling us all how realistic and close to the truth all of the hacking information in Die Hard 4 was and that they must have had some 31337(sic) hackers helping scriptwise.
    He painted himself as some sort of elite hacker that the world secretly feared. We had to read between the obvious lines in the conversation to realise his awesomeness as he wasn't going to just tell us straight out that he was the bomb.
    Later that night I got him to agree that the newly invented ALU(An Oracle product) was going to put all of the GPU manufacturers out of business due to its rip snortin' floating point optimisations.
    It was very funny and much caffeinated product was sprayed around the loungeroom. Probably sounds boring but if you had been there we had a lot of fun at the poor guy's expense.
