I get my information from experience and observation. While upper middle class white suburban people may support the police in general, the subset that are slashdot posters tend to be anti-authoritarian but also have a lifelong experience of being insulated from crime. Poorer communities distrust the police, but they would not want them completely absent; since they are most at risk for being crime victims, they do want them there at some level.
"Funny, all the regular cops seem to use undercover operations for around here is to bust kids buying an eighth sack of weed..."
Then you must live in a very safe area. Unfortunately, slashdot skews upper class and upper middle class white suburban; those types have no problem railing against the police because they rarely need their services.
How about before multitasking it allows file management. Anyone who thinks it's not phenomenally stupid that the ipad won't let you actually work with files on it is so drunk on apple kool-aid that they're incapable of being reasoned with.
didn't actually register early enough for a cool UID
I actually think I DID register early enough but I couldn't for the life of me remember what that userid was. Tried all the usual handles I was using around that time but could never figure it out.
"Having read some of those back magazine adverts, you could pay $65 for a disk cleanup tool, and find that someone has just sent you the command line program to format the disk."
Wow, you are actually emotionally hurt that I impugned Steve Jobs. That is fascinating. This is a man you don't know, have never met, but you are having an emotional reaction here.
No, I don't watch product launches. If you're watching product launches and you're not a journalist you have been completely and utterly outsmarted by a company's marketing arm.
And by all accounts he is a miserable, nasty, selfish person as well. But that's ok, he's financially successful and that's the only thing that matters, right?
Steve Jobs is not bent over a table designing the machine. Do you know who is? Me neither, Jobs is such a freaking narcissist that he will not let anyone else get credit.
The Chinese government has a weird obsession with Falun Gong, which I don't quite understand. I was in Flushing, Queens the other week and there was actually this whole (unmanned) table with signs, flyers, etc., blasting the Falun Gong as this insanely dangerous cult. I can't imagine who set it up other than the Chinese government.
"Imagine what would happen if all the Google engineers turned rogue and held the world's Gmail accounts to ransom"
Ummm...we can just track them down and dangle them out of a window until they agree to release the accounts? We're talking about software engineers here, not special forces commandos.
Whoa, you're saying the PHOTOSHOP users are the "dilettantes"? Does that mean GIMP users are the "professionals"? Because I have never met a graphics professional who used GIMP and most have never even heard of it. And no, a webdesigner is not a graphics professional.
And what percentage of the population lived in utter squalor? People like you who extoll the virtues of the 19th century wouldn't have lasted a day working in a 19th century factory.
I will say that historically, the Hugos go to more high quality books than the Nebulas, though overall quality is still lacking; the failure of Iain Banks or Alastair Reynolds to have won a single Hugo is kind of ridiculous.
So your argument is that because unions are immune from prosecution under the Hobbs Act, that they are immune from prosecution for inciting violent crimes completely? For that to be true, the Hobbs Act would be the only criminal law available to prosecute people for incitement to violence. Since that is obviously not true; there are many, many state and federal laws against promoting violent acts, your statement that "Unions leaders themselves are immune for any criminal acts or violence that may be committed upon their encouragement or command" remains unproven.
"I wish for all fellow men to get all kinds of benefits as long as they are not getting it from my profit."
And that's the kind of greedy attitude that has kept civilization back for so long.
Finally an objective test to see if you're an Apple fanboi. If you think there is nothing wrong with skewing the aspect ration in a court filing, you're a fanboi, period.
Slashdot Mirror
He also (and this is the particularly stupid part) was caught, convicted, imprisoned, and then immediately started doing it again when he got out.

If you're considering all the other tablets "competitive" then you have to consider the Acer ones as well.
"You know, when I first saw this headline, I misread and thought it said Apple CEO Declares a Tablets Bubble"
If they had, all of the Apple fanboys complaining about Acer here would reverse direction and agree with the statement.
"Acer has no competitive tablet offering among the dozens of competing Android tablets." Except it does: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100013681&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&SrchInDesc=acer&Page=1&PageSize=20

So in other words it did remove the virus.

Generally the earthquake precedes the news reports about the earthquake.
Not that many. So yes, it is news.
This is actually talking about a 1997 earthquake.

Riiiight, and back when you had little regulation and the top 2% controlled so much of the wealth, life was great for everyone right?
If you're going to fabricate facts, try to make them at least a little bit believable.
