You realize that the Slashdot story for such an iPad/iPhone integration would be riddled with complaints about how having to hold pencil and paper is the only true D&D experience and Wizards was pissing on it?
You mean like if you think you're chatting with a fellow dissident and he sends you a tool named MACAddressChanger ostensibly to help you change your MAC address?
Your prescribed security measures are not only dumb in general, here in 2012, but they're completely oblivious of the story at hand.
And I'm pretty sure the Syrian army is dumping dead bodies because they are a frickin' army against a barely armed motley crew of civilians and defectors. You should probably live in a city being shelled by artillery and covered by snipers before you start criticizing others' security failures.
Good points. But, the ultimate competition, personal combat, also shows that lefties have an advantage (enough to maintain equilibrium, that is) in a population dominated by righties. While both lefties and righties will be used to fighting righties, righties will be less accustomed to fighting lefties. This is true in hand-to-hand combat as well as armed conflict, including the modern sports of boxing and fencing.
After all, modern sports doesn't exactly explain how we evolved. I would guess they're using sports as the closest analogy to prehistoric tribal/personal conflict.
Unfortunately, when it comes to modern combat, most rifles are handed- for example a right-handed rifle will eject shells across te line of sight of someone holding it left-handed. I believe there are ambidextrous designs and various attachments that avoid some of these issues while not requiring a left-handed model. Then again, modern war is not necessarily the same as natural selection.
No I read it, but it sounds like a solution in search of a problem. He communicated with his representative. Now he wants to do what? Offer her unsolicited IT support so he can email her more?
The constituents who "care enough to about an issue to draft their own thoughts" will care enough to use the same channels of communication as he did to reach her.
Politicians get large amounts of email, and they have no way of knowing if it's from their constituents. A letter with a return address showing you're a constituent has a much better chance of being read.
But keep in mind that you're not the only constituent. If you want to ensure you get personal attention directly from your politician in a timely manner, open your checkbook and get some facetime with her.
So I contacted her again suggesting that was a pretty poor answer. [...] Her response?
So, you sent her an email that resulted in a form response, then you contacted her again through unspecified means and she responded personally to your complaint.
Legalties aside, if you preserve your own common decency online, then you wouldn't egg on someone to commit suicide, precisely because you *don't* know if they're serious or not.

God help us. I'm pretty sure if Apple and Microsoft ever combined, the universe would explode.

...it's how people should relate to one another.

If I'm not mistaken, that's where former PM Jean Poutine is from.
...for billion-dollar companies.
Specifically if there were one juror.

The head of state of Belize is still the Queen, just like those oppressed sods to our north...
It's time someone did something about this dictator ruling Belize with an iron fist. What's his name? Oh yeah, it's Queen Elizabeth II.
Fate flipped a coin, I guess?

If Burrus is right, we'll no longer have to wade through '30,000,000 returns in .0013 milliseconds' of irrelevant search results.
Apparently, the OP doesn't know that AltaVista's search engine was shut down.

Point of order: Citizen's United was not related to directly funding politicians' campaigns. You have send that check to their Super PAC.

And you're asking for help with what, exactly?
So that's why none of my spawn has made it to the President. Curses!
If you include a check, it'll help your chances even more.
...absolutely nothing.
Cause monks dedicated to knowledge and logic fighting in outer space to save the world and bring about interdimensional peace is totally depressing.
Or a worm.
Wickard v. Filburn.
This may not have been theft of property, but it's certainly violating some trade secrets laws.
