    So you're blaming your shortcoming on others? That's a fair discussion.

    No, let's take it to the other RIAA topics which are so ridiculously inundating all of Slashdot. Oh wait.

    Not about RIAA

    Not about RIAA

    Not about RIAA

    In fact, only ONE topic about RIAA on the front page. This particular page about RIAA is, however, almost entirely about this one person's gripe with the admins. Your comparison was absolutely ridiculous, and "childish" since you're wanting to go in that direction.

    Don't be so absolutely ridiculous.

    You're not proving your point. Just give it up. Some people want to read this -- me for instance. Complain to the site admins, not the site readers. You've thrown this discussion way off course. I saw you claim "If you don't like what I've written, don't complain to me, lest you're a hypocrite." Well, honestly, how can anyone NOT read your crap seeing that you've taken up 3/4 of the god damn discussion. Suddenly this entire topic became about YOU and YOU alone.

    Don't /. readers have a say in what makes it to the front page? Maybe your beef is with the community. I for one like keeping up on this topic, and I'll continue supporting it, as it has the potential to really affect the internet as a whole, which as you know it is very important to our daily lives.

  12. Re:Cue objections from the religious right: on HIV/AIDS Vaccine To Begin Phase I Human Trials · · Score: 1

    I believe strongly in scientific fact over what the pious wrote in a book. I feel the Bible is symbolic in many aspects. I would rather not have this discussion on /. though, it's not the appropriate place, nor the appropriate thread. There are many Christian scientists who feel the same as I. If you want to believe that's superstition, I ask you to look at all theoretical science. Science does not disprove a higher life form.

  13. Re:Cue objections from the religious right: on HIV/AIDS Vaccine To Begin Phase I Human Trials · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not all of us conservative Christians are superstitious like you illustrate. Some of us even believe in evolution. Some of us don't mind gays getting married. People want to believe that the stereotype is real though, and you don't help the situation.

    What's wrong with HAM fanatics? They were geeks before geeks were cool. I remember my Dad bouncing radio signals of the Moon. That was cooler than Christmas.

    Yes, they always showed broadcast stations, but the remainder of the stations for the most part were commercial free, and that's what people felt they were paying for, not the stations you could tune in over your bunny ears.

    I remember first getting Cable, and its biggest selling point was no commercials. You had (and still have) infommercials late at night.

  24. Re:We already have a proven online model on Canada Considering Online Voting In Elections · · Score: 1

    With online voting there's a record you can review. That vote can't be altered without you knowing. Once you place a paper ballot in the box, that's it, it's left to the integrity of the officials in charge of the ballot station. I think I'd prefer placing my money in an electronic safe keeping rather than a cardboard box for strangers to do the accounting after Lord knows how many hands have passed over it. I'd rather deposit electronic currency rather than cash, in other words. That wasn't always the case however, much like this online voting topic, people used to be highly skeptical of online banking. I think it's safe to say the system has proved itself.

  25. Re:Problem is...can't validate the on-line votes on Canada Considering Online Voting In Elections · · Score: 1

    But people are worried about their bosses holding guns up to their heads and making them vote at work and according to that morning's memo. Ok maybe the gun was an exaggeration. But you can't deny the tyranny in the work place! This reminds me of my Dad's story about old coworkers demanding he donate money to the Democratic party. He never did, and it didn't get him fired. At any rate, I'm just rambling since I can't mod you up. Online voting is in our future, that is to be certain. We have the technology to make it successful. No amount of fear-mongering is going change that.
