im all for the legalization of some drugs. but your pitiful rant is an example of what one can do with statistics.
sure 6x as many people have died behind a motorboat. nice. so how many more people were behind that boat in the first place? 15x, 20x? I bet its up there.
there goes your lovely statistic..
then to attack drunk driving as a defense? might as well not attack drunk driving, cause we have bigger things to worry about...like nukes, wars, cancer
and to lump ephedra and creatine in a sentence with ecstasy? seriouslly. do you know anything about drugs?
please do some more research.
the only meaningful paragraph was your first. the others looked like a 6th grader ranting.
how in fuck do you know hes justified in suing. I doubt youre a lawyer, so you have no basis period to say that. Theres already other threads on libel. Read them. Its hard to claim a damaged rep, when you have no rep.
Secondly, you dont know if its scandalous. YOU dont know the truth. Oh, this guy who was reported as a loser is denying it. Big fucking surprise. All I see is more proof when combined with his other babble on those boards that he does indeed need a reality check. Still, I dont know him. Do you?
ummm...ok so what are you going to do with your life i seriouslly doubt a computer is the fundamental root of your laziness
maybe goto school get a job find some friends unplugging the pc is a start, but...as youve proven before-youll be right back to another addiction if you dont have it replaced with something positive.
Real people, *ahem* intelligent people understand that language is an ever evolving thing. They understand that the real goal of language is to promote communication and understanding between people. They understand that if society, the people, wish to have google as a verb that it is indeed quite fine. When someone tells you they googled something you understand, no?
But maybe you are right. Maybe we shouldn't keep producing new dictionaries, afterall language shouldn't change. We don't need to cutesify, which by the way is not anymore a verb than google is, our languages for there are surely more than enough words contained in the 1885 dictionary to satisfy our modern needs.
Youd slap someone over the use of the word 'google'? Doesn't get much more pathetic than that.
with that ability, or lackthereof comes liability, blame
who do you blame when this system fucks up.
Im against automated anything with cars. Do you know how often small electrical sensors go bad in cars and start to cause it to run unreliably. Up till now it meant your mixture control got fucked up and you started running lean, now it could mean your car suddenly decides to lock them up doing 85 on the highway.
People drivers aren't perfect. But its easy to counter their imperfections. When driving, a good driver is aware of everything around them and can tell when someone is not in command of their vehicle. You cant tell when some automagic sensor is about to fail.
Im sorry. I havent done the research admittedly, but I dont think traffic accidents are quite bad enough to say we're assuming an awful lot about the driving ability of the average person out on the roads. Id say youre underestimating it. Drunk driving. Now theres a crazy real problem, and no system like this could fix it.
actually internet communications should be different
cause they ARE different
i cannot stand people who cant change. Im sorry. the internet medium has very very very little to do with any other medium out there.
for fucks sake, look at this site. NOTHING like anything else. And guess what? Just cause I call CNN doesnt mean they have to air my complaint, just cause i write to an editor...
I dont see your point.
A mailing list is like a group discussion, a group meeting. A blogs alittle more open....BUT THE INET IS NEW. Do no apply old standards to it. thank you good day
i highly doubt youll find people saying 'hmmm, im not gon do 115mph, cause i know i have a blackbox and might crash"
they dont think theyll crash
it starts with 2x speed limit. then they get greedy. look at the state of speeding tickets right now....its sick. cameras, autotickets- etc, etc. there are other fabolous ways to find crash speeds. a data recorder shouldnt be one of them.
cryptonomicon wasn't any more 'intelligent' than other books, it just had its basis in a geekfriendly subject
the majority of novelists do a substanial amount of research about the state of their subject in real life. Writer's spend a decent amount of time in libraries.
I dont find Farscape to be all that more entertaining than American Idol. Its called personal preference, taste.
The Slashdot crowd really reminds me of the punkish segment of population. Rebel and Yell. The system sucks, damn the system, damn the man, damn the sheep. Lets all dye our hair green. In the end, you aren't much different. You only seem different if you focus soley on those areas where you do differ so much.
Maybe the technocratic elitist themes in Cryptonomicon are true....

while you can be successful without a degree i find your comment that diplomas dont mean much pretty ignorant of real world happenings.
and your idealistic ideas about where you *will* work are great too. I hope you get laid off soon.!
ummm. i hate spam luckily spam assassin catches mine
BUT, you wouldnt hold the clerk responsible if the kid looked like a middle aged man
email addresses have no age. they have no way of knowing for sure who they link to
the obvious solution is a special NOspam domain for kids. kids.us or somesuch, where spam would be totally illegal as only children could hold such addresses.
Slashdot Mirror
remember? its still around. just played a round last month at Dave&Busters in cleveland :)
its fun watching the replays of you kicking your friends ass
ummm actually. we can have it both ways. thats the beauty of democracy.
the dmca can prevent fair use. a right most people believe they have.
most spammers are committing fraud. a crime most people believe should be punished.
sometimes I really wonder how people like you get along in the world. I highly doubt you are *one way or the other* in life. No one is.
how about be both their parent and their best friend. My parents were. Its not THAT hard.

thank you
good day
consequences? wtf are you smoking
you can respond all you want
with your own fucking resources
this is forcing people to use their own resources for people they disagree with
IE: democrats have to let republicans speak at their dinner parties
i think fucking not
this has little to do with consequences. please, tell me. what consquences does this help further?
its not stopping people
its used after the fact
i highly doubt youll find people saying 'hmmm, im not gon do 115mph, cause i know i have a blackbox and might crash"

hey dumbass
wed make fun of a football player who practice 8 hrs a day too...specially to no real avail

the athletes that devote absurd amounts of time reap REAL rewards, like scholarships or even money
neat-o

ill keep it loose and keep the pron
insightful? ya, we are animals and have the same fatal flaws across all age groups.
most of the stuff your common adult does makes me sick anyways when compared to the innocence of a child.
adults drop bombs. ever watch cspan? adults trade "talk".
not a big insight
but you wont need condoms!
