dunno about the other branches, but in the Marine Corps, NCO's (corporals and sergeants) were allowed and encouraged to hang out together. fraternization was between NCOs and non-NCOs (lance corporals and below), between NCOs and staff NCOs (staff sergeant and above), between staff and non-NCOs, and between officers and (usually) non-staff-NCOs. (exceptions, always).
You might want to reread OP and think about what you just said. There might be some very basic between-the-lines, but I bet a good solid second glance would clear it all up for you.
That doesn't, actually, make it a bad thing, though. I could go through the standard spiel about competition driving innovation, but the last thing I want is to start an ideology war in this thread.
Suffice to say that it doesn't much matter how we get up there, as long as we get up there.
Seems more likely that getting smarter about hiding things is the way to go - as unlikely as that seems, it's far more likely than an end to people digging up dirt and blowing it out of proportion.
Besides, kids can hide stuff pretty well. If you got caught as a kid, you were doing it wrong.
First of all, what signs? Where is that in the links you gave me? Second, stop dancing around the subject. I asked for proof of that statement that all right wingers are racist failures and you jumped in, defending what apparently now isn't your supposition with irrelevant poll data. That's enough out of you. You come back to me when you've actually got something to say, or, better yet, just don't come back to me. You've added absolutely nothing to the discussion and wasted everyone's time.
And tell that guy who follows you around layers of discussions which are tangential at best, that guy who automatically mods you up one point, to get a life.

I wonder if the bots had anything to contribute to his review.

A music industry source estimated that such charges could add up to several million dollars a year.
Which, unfortunately, would be something, but better than they deserve.

Damn, beat me to it.
You probably ought to get it out of your head that this Platonic ideal - the impartial reporter - ever existed at all.
Well done, sir. Well done indeed.
No, I think he's saying that we get too caught up in minutiae. WAY too caught up.
Who the hell modded this flamebait? Slashdot, you fail.

News is plural the way sand is plural, and "news" is not verbing; "Next Media" is.
Their fingers are big-boned, you insensitive clod!
I had no idea there was another one. That's the sort of thing you don't expect to happen regularly.
It was California.

'ATM machines'? Really?
This is more like an indefinite coma. Time to pull the plug.
You're starting from the premise that government, by necessity, must be that massive.
WHOOSH
That would definitely go a long way toward getting some accountability in government, actually.
This is definitely "-1 Doesn't Share My Beliefs".

That's drawing your own conclusions and presenting unrelated data as "proof". Try again.
