I think names are kind of first-come, first-serve. This country was full of Americans when all the colonies in the Americas were still full of English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
Well, we could take that to heart and call people from the People's Republic of China PRCians (to distinguish them from the Chinese in the Republic of China, Taiwan), we could call people from the Republic of Ireland ROIians (to distinguish them from the citizens of Northern Ireland), we could call the people of Virginia CoVians ("Commonwealth of Virginia", to distinguish them from the Virginians of West Virginia)...
I know, right! Every time I see a advertisement on a vehicle on the highway, I deliberately don't look at it, so that my mind will not be poisoned by their insidious self-promotion. Makes it more difficult to change lanes, and my insurance went way up after I rear-ended one of them, but hey, freedom isn't free.
Also, I insist that girls who wear shirts that have logos on them take them off in my presence.
GP is only off by a factor of about 100,000. I'm going to assume he just put the decimal in the wrong place. I get $10 confused with $1,000,000 all the time.
I do wonder if the poster actually read the article. It uses the word "reprogrammed" once, as a metaphor, and it's not the fish "reprogramming themselves," it's the selective harvesting.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth it to come here if the blurbs misrepresent the articles so badly.
One would think that the biggest supporters of the censorship plan would be the Australian Religious Right. So blocking anti-abortion web sites would be...counterproductive, to say the least. Thanks, buddy, you just pissed off your allies.
Much as I would like for you to be correct, you're not. Jefferson may have been anti-slavery, but he did not view blacks as intellectual equals. Evidence:
"Comparing them by their faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me that in memory they are equal to the whites; in reason much inferior, as I think one could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull, tasteless, and anomalous.... The improvement of the blacks in body and mind, in the first instance of their mixture with the whites, has been observed by every one, and proves that their inferiority is not the effect merely of their condition of life." -- Thomas Jefferson
Mozilla doesn't let anyone use its name, logo, etc., for any fork of any of its projects. (You may recall IceWeasel.) If Microsoft tried that, Mozilla would sue the pants out of them, and EU regulators would have even more rope with which to hang them. Unless, of course, they changed the name and replaced the logo, in which case it would be "Microsoft Internet Explorer Intentionally Shitty Edition."
Saw it, and passed. Like I passed on the lame argument against this guy. (The argument not being lame, the very fact of bothering to argue with such a silly comment being very lame indeed.)
I personally think that everyone under the age of 65 should be banned from texting.
Also, the impression that I got of this young lady after reading the article is that she would be the type to wear very tight pants...if so, being able to stuff a cell phone in them would be quite impressive.
Ahem. I'm not even going to tell you how much time my Con Law professor spent on Kelo vs. City of New London.
This is the part about democracy being nice. At least here, we can vote those fuckers out of office. Most states have passed laws to protect landowners from...the state. (And/or municipal governments)
As one of the other posters mentioned, if my city decided to put a set of rail tracks on my lawn, I would be all for it. But I rent...
The headline is somewhat misleading. The memory is not erased. Rather, the emotions associated it are dampened. As in, "I saw my mother hacked to pieces with a chainsaw. Meh."

When history looks back at the first generation to extensively use the World Wide Web, it will sigh a collective "WTF?"

On the other hand, you'll have to burn more of it to drag your fat ass to the McDonald's in the only megavan that it will fit in.

Ha! Two can play that game!
The instant you sent troops up, we'd come down, and we'd kick the holy hell out of the US and its infrastructure.
Not like we haven't tried.

Whoever modded me down, l2timestamp.

...they would have assumed it was something other than video games.
HAHAHA! That's a good one.
Oh, you're serious?
Sure, it can handle heavy loads, but how quickly can your web server sync its logs with gov.cn?

No! X must not be ported! X must die!
I think when the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they never meant it to mean that a black guy could be president.
For a moment I thought they meant they'd put a BitTorrent client in the OS like Linux distros do.
Thinking about it, that would actually be scary.

Think you just answered yourself there, buddy.
Also, fuck John Birch.

Interestingly, it turns out that the test subjects are actually ghosts who are dreaming the future.
