Sir, forgive me if I'm way off here, but I'm having trouble reading your post through its ambiguous acronyms. Is this FPGA the ever-so-coveted "First-Post-Get Algorithm" that Slashdot Anonymous Cowards have been seeking their whole lives?
After all, aren't most winners too poor to afford lawyers to fight the casinos?
If I win my lawsuit, then I'll get $11 Million or $42 Million or whatever and be able to pay my lawyer. And I remember seeing ads on TV for law firms that don't charge unless they win your case.
This makes perfect sense, too. To safely remove a tax, the government would first need a budget surplus greater than or equal to the money brought in by that tax. As long as governments have deficits, they can't reasonably do away with any taxes, no matter how stupid, unless the tax in question is illegal somehow.
Joe User booting it up, braying "The hell? Where's my Windows?" and returning it.
If that's the reason Joe User returned his netbook, doesn't that make Joe User a fucking retard? When I was at Best Buy, looking at a netbook as a quick replacement while I decided on my next real laptop, they had them out, demoing the computers and the operating systems. At one time I even saw a netbook running Linux being demoed.
If Joe User returned his netbook because it didn't have Windows, it's because Joe User is computer- and consumer-stupid. It's right there, just begging you to try it out before you buy it! Why would you not take a look at the product you intend to buy???
I know, I'm n=1 people with n=2 experiences with demo netbooks at Best Buy, but still, the way I see it, the blame for this falls squarely on Joe User.
So...sensationalist headline is sensationalist? Or maybe lying headline is just plain lying. If no customers turn the feature on, then Amazon is collecting data from no one, so the headline is false.
How do we get the headline changed to something like "Amazon Could Be Collecting Your Kindle Highlights & Notes"?
Actually, he does. On Slashdot, it's impossible to mod a story and post non-anonymously. All moderators for a given story are nameless relative to that story.
If you don't mind, I'd like to see these background checks. I wanna have a solid argument to produce next time my father and I get into a discussion about whether or not Fox is to be listened to.
Your kids picked restaurants that had graceful movements that made them look buoyant?
Where do they build restaurants that move like this? I've only ever seen buildings that just sit there and do nothing but shelter the same patch of ground from the rain day in and day out.
One more option is that the gov't raises all of our kids for us by professional child raisers, why would trust amateurs raising our little leaders of tomorrow?
Don't we call these professional child raisers "teachers" and the child-raising establishments "public schools"? Or are these establishments full of amateur child raisers?
Actually the tea partiers are pushing government to involve itself in social causes too, just different ones like regulating marriage. That's the Palin wing of the movement, the one that loves big government when it pushes religion and tries to turn arbitrary morals into arbitrary laws.
FTFY, unless you'd like to explain how laws aren't, at their cores, equally arbitrary as morals, or unless you'd like to explain that neither morals nor laws are arbitrary.
Laws are as arbitrary as the morals and agendas that are common to the subset of politicians required to pass legislation.

I'm in Pittsburgh, PA. Didn't feel a thing. Might have been asleep, though.
Also, obligatory xkcd.

Are they on top of this like oil on water?
Geez. That'll burn a hole in your pocket faster than your Apple iFund (the money with which you purchase iProducts).

Aw, dang it. I knew it was too good to be true. :(
Thank you.

Or am I missing something important here?
Yep, saving the world...until the LHC and pressurized oil destroy it.

They probably use this one.

Was the computer being sarcastic that time?
I threw the manual into a supernova, because I disagreed with it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Good point. For what was bloody, fiery hail a metaphor?
LIFO is a stack, you insensitive clod!
