And then you go to slashdot and meet the "The government thinks everyone over 19 is evil." crowd. For god's sake, the government removes the "sex" and "attempt to meet" laws around online child abuse/harrasment and slashdot goes completely ape-shit. CALM THE #$(*@# DOWN PEOPLE!
I think you missed a modifier in the last sentence of the post you're replying to (albeit a double negative). You're actually disagreeing with the parent, there. And your complacency in a YRO thread is disappointing, honestly.
But surely it's the reverse? Children can talk as much as they like, and now adults aren't allowed to talk to them - even to tell them "Children should be seen and not heard"...
Next up, children telling "Adults should be seen and not heard".
Adults make the laws unfortunately, and are less likely to legislate themselves into a corner than to oppress a special interest group (read: children).
If you're not going to allow people to host their own servers, then you screw up Brazilians who don't get less than 250 ping. Ignoring a country with 150 million people and a project to bring internet connectivity to every home in a couple of years is a really good plan. Besides, we love being treated like a 3rd world country. Worry not, we'll remember this, when we laugh our ass off playing in a hacked server with a pirated copy of your game.
I'm reminded of a comic that makes it difficult to take this post seriously.
I think the issue at hand here is the difference between inputting text "fairly well" such that you can write pithy tweets or whatnot and inputting text "really well" such that you can write novels, code, etc, etc without suffering serious hand fatigue after the first couple paragraphs or code blocks.
That wasn't and is not the issue at hand at all. Jurily supposed that the fact that the guy said he didn't have any problems with his iPhone's touchscreen meant that he must "never input text." He was just being a smartass.
I contend that trying to input text "really well" on something like a fucking cell phone with buttons on the fold out keyboard instead of a touchscreen is an exercise in asstardery.
That said, no one was discussing replacing the keyboard with some sort of touch pad, we were talking about inputting text on an iPhone. There are no cellphone equivalents upon which you would comfortably write slabs of code or a novel.
And your clickable mechanical mouse will also be hindered useless by your monstrous lunch/heart attack. At least the multitouch surface is a quick wetnap away from functioning again

a good representative will not tow the party line on all issues.
Where do they want it towed, exactly?
Your vision somehow reminds me of The Matrix.
Thanks for clearing that up for us.
...says the guy who's posting anonymously.
"TangoMargarine" isn't exactly less anonymous than Anonymous Coward.
The troll mods in this thread are getting out of hand. How do this many people not know what a troll is?
Immanent...I don't think that word means what you think it means.
No jury in the western world won't convict you.

I believe "Whoosh" is only applicable when the original statement makes any sort of sense.
It makes perfect sense, it's just a completely irrelevant joke. But a joke, and an easy to grasp one, at that.
The problem was it wasn't his sister, which is legal in the south.
I didn't know it was actually illegal elsewhere.
Sounds like a rather typical conversation between me and my fianceé...
You might be a pedophile if...
If you'd read the article, "inappropriate" is apparently synonymous with "any," now.
Whoosh.
Speaking to children online ruled illegal;
A worldwide shift back to the "Seen, but not heard," philosophy ruins childhood for everyone.
"7 isn't a valid replacement for any letter in its written word form."
Not very 1337, are we?
Hate to break it to you, but the letter 'T' is not present anywhere in the number '7's written word form.
Not sure what you were trying to imply.
Kill Bill is a Disney DVD?
What the hell is "se7ev" supposed to imply?
7 isn't a valid replacement for any letter in its written word form.
Welcome to Earth, where an informal group of people are, "You guys."
Enjoy your stay.
Good for the Good God!

Made me lol, but I can't watch the video to supplement. What is it?

What's your point?
Wooosh... So BD&M, Cumfast and Vagizon
What in the hell? Seriously.
