Yeah, yeah. And the Confederacy didn't really attempt to secede over slavery. They were just innocent victims of "Northern aggression". BWAHAHAHAHAHAH. This historical revisionism by Confederate sympathizers is funny stuff.
let me play devil's advocate. An internal investigation says I did something. I get canned. They let everyone know I was fired for this behavior. One problem... I didn't do it.
Except in the case of this guy being fired he did do it. So your case would be hardly analogous.
The dispute revolves around the firing of Noonan in January 2006 as regional sales director of Staples after an internal audit determined that he had overbilled the company in expense reports, failed to submit required receipts, and falsified expense reports, according to the appeals court's Feb. 13 ruling.
The dispute has nothing to do with the reasons he was fired, because they are true, but the fact that broadcasting them out is claimed to be defamation.
You know, I'll own up to not knowing that it was exactly 47% of the earth that was covered with water. I actually thought it was a lot closer to 70%, and, apparently, so does Google, so its a common misconception. I wonder if one of us isn't counting ice?
The summary isn't saying that 47% of the earth is covered in water. It is a poorly worded attempt at saying that 15% of the respondents got the answer right, while 47% got the answer approximately write. TaeKwonDood is just shitty at writing English.
In fact, Kennedy's statement is both grammatically correct and perfectly idiomatic, and would not be misunderstood in context. The urban legend is not widely known among Germans of that time who consider Kennedy's speech a landmark in the country's postwar history.
I know people don't read the articles in the threads they post, but they could at least read the stuff they link to in their own posts...
Slashdot Mirror
and yet when they go all out on a system like this, they don't even choose one as the system drive?
How very inconsistent.
Except Tom's Hardware neither designed this system nor was it the purchaser of the system. So I don't see what the inconsistency could possibly be.
They started to install Gentoo on it but unfortunately they are still compiling the system.
Rather, what is the purpose of a system like that that can't be served by a cheaper alternative?
Bragging rights over throwing away 16k on a computer?
I thought those were the bare minimum specs for the Crysis sequel?
(especially the misspelling of "heard").
Sorry, I meant to spell it Hurd.
But then the world would be exposed to a legion of pasty nerds who haven't see natural light in years of living in their parent's basements. Ewwwwwww
Is there a way to combine the power of LaTeX with the power of Subversion without scaring off a non-technical writer?
He didn't say it was irony.
Never said he did.
He said it was "what we call irony" which is correct. Slashdot posters call lots of things which are not irony irony.
Yeah, I know hence why I made my comment. To call things that are not ironic ironic is ironic in and of itself.
I thought ffmpeg only decodes/converts videos,
Well then you've thought wrong. It has numerous audio and video filters that are available to use during both playback and during decoding/encoding.
And that's why there is all this outpouring of support for Staples because this sets a very dangerous precedent.
I know, this is America, and there's no accounting for personal preference, and all, but...
Who wants a shoulder-bag anyway?
Steers and queers and I don't see any steers around here...

The only thing to add really is that most definitions include the fact that it's malicious.
Probably because Goo was released last year and would not be in an article about games released in February of this year?
Southern Confederacy's desire to secede.
Which was unconstitutional and illegal.
War in Vietnam.
This one isn't really fully true as it had huge popular support at the beginning.
Forcing the legality of gay marriage in Massachusetts (Mass. supreme court vs. majority of the state's voters, I believe.)
You mean more like upholding the guarantees of equal protection under the law that is guaranteed by their own constitution?
Possibly Prop 8 in California, depending on how that state's supreme court rules.
Prop 8 was nothing more than an initiative by the Mormon church to use it's influence illegally for political means. The thing should be revoked.
From some individual states' perspective, Roe vs. Wade
States are not "the people".
You don't have to look farther than the Bush administration to see this.
Or the Obama Administration also, apparently.
Sup, dawg! I herd you liek eatin' assholes so I put an asshole in yo asshole so you can eat while you eat!
Leave pubic wigs out of this! They did nothing to you!
That's what we call irony.
Which is ironic because it's not irony.
On any other site, maybe, but this is Slashdot home of such luminaries as kdawson and jonkatz.
Do you know what "irony" is?
Use of a word or phrase to express something opposite of the literal meaning?
approximately write
Fucking facepalm. I can't believe I typoed that. :(
