What the eff, Hoggy? Ain't much difference between a 4 digit like me, a five digit like Bozdune, and a six digit like you who's been a mainstay of this place for years. I don't even rate your level of presence here, and Bozdune isn't near as regular of a poster as either of us. Ask 100 slashdot readers about spun and hognoxious and more of 'em would know you than me. Like digits have anything to do with it. Please, like you never get a little trollish? Bozdune and I were having fun. I appreciated his post by responding with the same game, it isn't posturing, it's a couple of slashdot regulars having fun. You know, if i weren't drunk right now, I wouldn't even respond to you, so nyah. And another nyah, and a nyah nyah nyah. Howdya like them nyah's, n00b?
Or the recursive joke which generates a 'stack overflow.' Or the tired memes of yesteryear, "In Soviet Russia, it's a trap for Natalie Portman, in your parents basement." Or people who use the terms 'M$,' 'Loonix,' or 'Open Sores.' Or the joke where your communications channel is interrupted, but still somehow manages to post your comment, complete with line noise. &^_%#!&=*^-%$ [NO CARRIER]
So this sort of social issue is in their mind really a matter of life-and-death or the safety-of-the-nation. In this mindset, Hurricane Katrina was divine punishment for boobs on Mardi Gras, for instance. People like Pat Robertson have been pushing this worldview for a long time.
We need to identify the people who think this way and convince them that their God needs them in Heaven, pronto. And then help them get there.
Ah yes, the dreaded 'groupthink.' Such a useful concept. Use it to denigrate the ideas of others without having to actually argue against them. Use it to make yourself seem like a free thinker who isn't caught up in the 'herd behavior,' even though screaming 'groupthink' is a herd behavior and doesn't take any kind of free thought. Almost as much fun as the 'karma whine' and the 'mod bitch.'
Thank you. Of course you can, you just need to know how to use LDAP, rather than some proprietary solution built on top of LDAP (Active Directory, EDIR) which probably never really fit you 'enterprise' needs to begin with. (Buy more plugins! Plugins, modules, and extensions! Gotta get 'em all!)
I never mod people down unless they have me marked as foe AND say something stupid. I like to mod people up. A nice steaming cup of STFU personally delivered in a post is so much more effective than an anonymous down mod. And I NEVER use sock puppets, that is for inferior warriors who lack my confidence and brilliance. I occasionally post anonymously if I feel like saying something really dumb, but I have only one account on every forum I use.
You are obviously not a stupid person and I don't dislike you, I just figured we were playing a game of 'who can be the bigger asshole.' You know, since you started that way. I LOVE playing WCBTBA. I almost never lose.
Your critical rationalism is pure bullshit made up by you for the express purpose of making you feel superior. You wouldn't know the 'real world' if it bit you in the ass, Mr. Stuck-In-His-Non-Critical-Rationalizations. The fact that you defend yourself and your ideas so vehemently only proves how caught up in the world of ego you still are. Truly rational people don't need to preach about it, so STFU, sit down, and learn something about the world before preaching. You know less than nothing.

European libertarians or American? In Europe, libertarian is just a synonym for anarchist. In America, it means ONE KIND of anarchism, individualist anarchism. I'm a social anarchist, anarcho-syndicalist specifically. I believe that the principles of individualist anarchism, if followed, would lead to slavery and oppression on a level not seen since the middle ages. The differences primarily boil down to real property ownership. As Adam Smith said, "Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all. " Libertarians believe the protection of private real property to be the ONLY legitimate function of government. Therefore, the fundamental work of libertarians is the defense of the rich from the poor, the increase in freedom of the property owning minority at the expense of the majority. I find that sickening. Why would the majority ever agree to a system that will ensure their own slavery?
Wait, what? If his policies work, we fail? If they don't work, we don't fail? Really now. Do you know the definition of 'fail?' You are an idiot who doesn't know the first thing about politics or economics. Conversation over, I don't waste my time on braindead sheep.
I told you, I don't like Obama, he is far too right wing. However, he is hugely popular right now. People do believe in him. He's getting things done faster than nearly any president before him, and he has more political capital to work with than any president in recent history had this early into his term.
Your hyperbole is amusing. You were probably one of those guys I saw in a documentary who broke down bawling at the thought of Obama winning, and threatened to move to Canada. The sick thing is, you WANT him to fail. You are practically salivating at the thought of the country falling apart. You'd rather the entire world go down the tubes than be wrong about Obama. You sick sad little man.
ALL laws are enforced selectively. We simply can't catch everyone. Doesn't mean we need to get rid of laws. But I think I see where you're coming from. Getting rid of stupid laws will allow law enforcement to focus on the real problems. In your example, speeding isn't the problem. Crashing is the problem.
Punish the actual harm, not things that might lead to harm, is that what you are saying? For instance, people on drugs MIGHT commit a crime or cause an accident, so we make drugs illegal. Which plainly doesn't work. If that's the point you're making, I agree completely.
You seem to have an overinflated sense of your own capacity to deal with powerful sociopaths. How would you get past the lackeys to apply said iron, exactly? No punishment by law? Without laws, force is the only law, and you wouldn't have as much force as said fat cat and his goons. We aren't talking about the plot of a Hollywood movie where the good guys always win.
You seem to be implying that the law is standing in your way, and without the law, you would be more than capable of creating your own justice. I highly doubt that. Getting rid of the rule of law would not level the playing field and allow 'extremely fit and intelligent' folks such as yourself to excel. Unless you are a sociopath, and already have power.
By the law of Internet Trolling. A right wing troll must be answered by a left wing troll. Seriously though, Bush's first election was a little... unusual, wouldn't you say? It was only 'valid' because a few conservatives in black robes said it was. There is no denying that the majority of US citizens didn't want him.
I'm a liberal, and I would be overjoyed if the conservatives formed a true conservative party. I would likely still vote Democrat, but I can respect real conservatives, the kind who believe in states rights, a small federal government, and fiscal responsibility. What we really need is some kind of ranked choice voting. That would make alternative parties viable.
So, you've been out of the country have you? We elected this fellow named Obama while you were away. He's a little too right wing for my tastes, but he's not bad. I think you'll like him.

Apparently, the economic poo we are wading through has a lot of businesses (esp smaller ones) considering FOSS.

No, geniuses recognize that bending the rules will only hurt themselves in the long run.

God only knows, I was going for troll, not insightful. And I don't support Obama at all, he is far too right wing for me.
As I said before, I do not like Obama, he is far too right wing for me.
