I always liked the way Superman fought for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" implying that whatever the "American Way" is, it doesn't include Truth and Justice;-)
I'm French, and I'm baffled. How can this kind of comment make it to Insightful ?
Slashdot has a tradition of Americans on the site bashing the French about their capitulation during WWII (which is easier than owning up to the fat that their country didn't even want to get involved) or the fact they didn't support them during the war on Iraq (made worse by the revelations that the French were right).
They appear to forget that if it were not for the French aid during their War of Independence that there wouldn't even be a USA.
There's quite a lot of music tracks these days that cause me discomfort when I hear them. As this is negative enjoyment, does that mean the music industry owes me money?
Better yet, as you are a morbidly obese male and as the X-rays from this device are designed to reflect from human skin, you can easily hide any contraband, smuggled pets, bomb belts or illegal aliens within your rolls of flab and they will be completely undetectable by the device!
Bastard! A little research through a few obscure, un-archived computing journals published in the now defunct USSR would have shown you that I wrote the programming language Ed68c886-6390-4255-813f-48e61f6b0b05 over 25 years ago! The cheek of some people!
essentially a tacky gimmick with little real benefit
A phrase which describes a lot of the output from Channel 4, so no change there.
(Deal or No Deal, The 50 Greatest..., The 100 Greatest..., Wife Swap, Come Dine With me, How to Look Good Naked, Real Housewives of New Jersey, Gok's Fashion Fix, Gordon Ramsay (anything he's in really)...and the liost goes on!)
Luckily airports are only ever full of relaxed, calm people who have no fear of flying whatsoever.
And being dragged off to be interrogated as a terrorist in some darkened back-room by three of four rent-a-thugs can only serve to ease their fears of flying...
The article shows pictures of fruit where you peel off the skin. OK.
But it also shows samples of tomatoes and peppers branded by the laser. When I make stuffed peppers or grilled tomatoes I don't what to have see all that burnt on lettering over the food. It will spoil the look of the meal.
At least a sticker I can peel off. Not that fruit should need labels anyway. I know what sort of fruit they are and I can tell if they're fresh and they're usually right next to big sign telling me how much they cost where they're from. What more do I need to know that you feel is important enough to have to laser etch into my food?
Slashdot Mirror
And the double irony is that in Europe we'd have to look for a torrent because the DVD isn't available in region 2 so we couldn't by it anyway...!
12 dollars 32 cents if it had been outsourced to India...

American bytes just have fatter bits than non-American bytes so it's easy to recognize them.
They're the bytes made up of 0s and 2s.
There was a time when reporting your fellow citizens wasn't referred to as "crowd sourcing censorship".
Hmm... when were the government advocating "denunciations" in Germany?

As every story seems to be about rights being stripped from us, I prefer to think of it as "Your Rights On the Line"!
You can't have a show like that on today's polictially correct TV channels.
What the hell where you thinking?
Executives will never buy that show.
HangPERSON on the other hand is a sure-fire winner!
But if MySQL conformed to the SQL standard it would no longer be MySQL - it would be TheirSQL !
Or Walmart's DRM encumbered mp3 files for which they switched off their verification servers.
If it's stuck with DRM, them you haven't bought anything - you've just paid to borrow it for a while, at their convenience...
Really, what's the point of having windows not Maximized.
Some of us can multi-task...
Ah,. c'mon, you can't blame Google for genetics!
It don't suck, man! It's massive!
And don't forget the Phantom of Heilbronn:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_of_Heilbronn
When presented with the option, he looked at using the military and said "This one looks like it would violate posse comitatus, so let's use the FBI."
Why is it I just can't see Bush using phrases like "posse comitatus" ? ;-)
Duh! They won't need to have DVD players lasting that long. They can simply put the instructions for building a DVD player onto one of the DVDs!

Nobody said they'd be limited to airports.
It's just that a fear of flying isn't normally a problem when the checkpoint is at the railway station or a border crossing. ;-)
err.. that's it really.
