Your civic duty is to vote for the candidate that you feel matches your interest and that you feel would do a good job at running the country.
Sorry, but saying you have a civic duty to vote for the Democrat or Republican but not a third party is just stupid. If they're on the ballot... VOTE FOR THEM.
How is Obama a "socialist" when the stock market has been seeing record numbers and he just passed a health care which was a product of the Insurance industry and the Heritage Foundation? Why are Americans so ignorant about this? Because of Fox News and the rest of the terrible American Media?
Regardless, screw what anyone says about who you should vote for. Vote for the person you want to not the person that they say you should. I'm voting for Jill Stein because I believe that we need a third party. If she doesn't win, that's fine but at least I can live with the fact that I didn't sell out my values just because someone said to vote for the candidate that has the backing of millions of dollars of special interest money.
Who is this "rest of the world"? I haven't agreed on anything, Joe from down the street hasn't, either.
The 'standards' that you go on about are simply a guideline set by a group of people that have the interests of whoever they're working for at heart. I'm sick of all this harping about "standards" being the holy grail, be-all-end-all of technology.
Actually, he had a friendly Congress for a grand total of *51* days from when Al Franken was finally sworn in to the day when Senator Kennedy fell ill.
Nerds on the Internet complaining about something half of them aren't using? Shocking!
Meanwhile, millions of people are using Apple Maps just fine - myself included. I love how people try to compare a service that has been in place for two weeks vs. a service that has been in place for seven years and has collected much more data.
Just because you're in the vocal majority doesn't mean you're right.
And, for the record, Google Maps was never removed from iOS because it was never on iOS.
Firefox 15 is ten times better than Chrome, which I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
I can't believe the tech community still clings to the notion that Chrome is good just because they have a false belief that Google is some great bastion of technology when they're not; they're just another pathetic ad company.
So they're not bombing abortion clinics or blowing up government centres in Oklahoma? Or not telling everyone how "God Hates Fags" and that the world is going to hell?
There's extremists in every religion; that doesn't mean that every Muslim is somehow a terrorist.
Hate speech should never be included in any definition of "free speech". The video in question was not made to inform, it was made to offend and inflame.
In case you haven't realized this, there are groups, right here in America, that do that sort of thing too - boycotting books, TV shows, movies, or anything that has content they don't agree with. Why was it necessary for the bigoted slur on Muslims?
So you'd rather it be ignored because it remains explicitly opt-in and no one will continue to know about it?
Apache is wrong and Fielding is an arse (but you already knew that). I have no desire to continue using them for web servers and this is the best time of all to move to Nginx.
You would have to be incredibly naive to let Google have access to EVERYTHING; Internet, cable TV, cell phone, etc. Seriously, it's bad enough that - through Doubleclick - they can collect data about you without even having a Google account.
Yeah, I have no desire to use a Google based broadband service.. ever. Forget that.

Have you ever tried searching for Adblock Plus on the Chrome Store lately?
What a waste of time.
About why he said things like incest, pedophilia, and child pornography should be legal because of free speech?
Why would anyone care what this douchebag thinks?

..and go away already. Good riddance to those trolls.All they do is campaign for the rights of freeloaders to get free stuff.

If you think that Obama and Romney are similar on any issues, then you should probably stop with those drugs right now.

..and is hugely successful just because Slashdot might not like it? Good god that is terrible advice.

I don't know, why don't you ask John McCain? I think they do matter considering that picking someone like Sarah Palin can torpedo a campaign.
Wish more people would follow their lead on this issue.

Wikipedia is as much about truth and information as Youtube comments are to intellectual debate.
We all have known this for a while; how is this article news?
Windows XP is the best thing Microsoft has done in the last 20 years.

Wow. That was a little harsh?

Yes, because a one word post containing "whatever" is SO insightful, right?
So you'd rather it be ignored because it remains explicitly opt-in and no one will continue to know about it?
