That's assuming that the fallout of this affair isn't going to impact his performance. It could be that the fallout of this and setting things right with his family again could keep him from his duties, or it could be as simple as he sees the role of Director as one that should lead by example, in some way embodying the integrity of the organisation. In that case, he wouldn't consider himself fit for such a role.
Actually, I only caught my first episodes of the show (TNG) last year. I'd like to get more familiar with the show, but I'm wondering where to start as well. There's just so many different series that it makes it difficult to know where to begin
And I also hope that they find whoever is behind it, hopefully someone in the record industry rather than someone pulling a prank. There'd be hell to pay:D
By donkey vote, I actually mean just leaving the ballot slips blank, not ordering in preference. I can't find a citation saying the numbers rose, but I remember it being discussed in the news on account of this twit
In place of leaders, we have the children that are more interested in calling each other names than actually sitting down and working through issues. As both sides just stand there screaming about how the other is going to ruin the economy, any discussion on "minor" issues such as civil liberties gets drowned out. (By minor, I mean that the vast majority of Australians seem to follow whatever Parliament is screaming about, be it gambling reforms, the carbon tax, etc and remains ignorant/indifferent towards everything else). Unfortunately, the laid-back attitude that typifies our culture also extends to our view on politics... Many Australians at the last election chose to donkey vote rather than choose between either of the major parties, instead of looking at the variety of independents that were on offer and picking one of them.
Because anyone can view it (that is, you're an idiot if you post something private or meant for a select group of people), and you have the ability to use a pseudonym. Also, slashdot is a little more upfront about it:
We believe that discussions in Slashdot are like discussions in real life- you can't change what you say, you only can attempt to clarify by saying more. In other words, you can't delete a comment that you've posted, you only can post a reply to yourself and attempt to clarify what you've said.
In short, you should think twice before you click that 'Submit' button because once you click it, we aren't going to let you Undo it.
If you're running Firefox or Chrome (or any browser that allows greasemonkey scripts), you can install the moderatrix script to add a confirm button to Slashdot. It's saved me many a time

I mean, really, who wants to be named on court documents for allegedly pirating porn?
Actually, Australia doesn't have complete freedom of speech enshrined in its constitution. It wouldn't surprise me if this sort of speech (sans blackmail scam) were illegal.

For those who want a nice summary on the current laws. I haven't read through the lot yet, so I can't comment on the AC's claims
You know, if you're going to tell people to read the law the least you can do is actually link to the thing.

The toads were meant to eat the cane beetle, but they decided they didn't like the taste.
You weren't modded down due to government censorship, you were modded down because you're bat-crap crazy.

Ah, that made my day. Thanks for the chuckle
According to the wiki article, one started but it's now defunct.
I have to agree, if you're interested in reading more about it look here
Please, can we all just stop using the word "shill"? We see enough of this crap from the ACs
Is this what you're talking about?
The trick is to watch it with someone else, same tactic as watching (and enjoying) B-grade films
