Well, I guess if Bush can muzzle scientists who talk about global warming then I guess it's OK for the global warming scientists to lean on their dissenters.
We need to pump more carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor into the air then our warming atmosphere will expand and put more drag on all the space junk slowing it down enough to re-enter the atmosphere and burn up. Drive those SUV's. Leave your windows and doors open. Raise the thermostat. Don't turn off your lights. Go ExxonMobile, Go!
Ditto. And those morons wanted to punish the guys who put the litebrites up for making them look like a bunch of fucking morons. I think calling them fucktards might also be appropriate.
Can we set up a solar colony for the Scientologists?
Just don't fly them on DC-8's or they might get alarmed. Last time they were told they were going to a nice warm tropical isle with a mountain view. They neglected to mention that it was an active volcano and that there was no actual landing strip, so they'd have to parachute except they forgot to bring them parachutes. The flight attendents just told them to tuck and roll when they landed and in case of a lava flow to duck and cover. To be fair Xenu did order parachutes but he forgot to sign the form in triplicate and the order was never processed.
Today, I see this Opinion Center with Intel under it. I check my Preferences to see if I can select other Opinion Centers or turn it off. I can't. So I go and take a look. It's a paid advertiser section. That's fine, but please label it for what it is, a Paid Sponsor Section. It's not an opinion center.
Mabye there's a place to make a comment or complaint about this, but it wasn't obvious so I posted it here.
I'd be happy if she just retired and became a private citizen again.
FYI. She is a divisive candidate and the rightwingers have found their anti-saviour. She'll bring every wingnut out of the woodwork so they can have their lovefest of bashing Hillary.
900 FBI files is just a drop in the bucket compared to breaches of privacy committed by this administration, but I guess that's OK because it's Hillary. Her history as an unethical lawyer will come back to haunt her. And I'm not talking Whitewater. That dog don't hunt anymore. Just watch.
it should say "previously misreported by Slashdot."
No one would accuse slashdot of having pretensions of journalistic integrity much less journalistic ability. I think I would follow misreported with the word ineptly as in "previously misreported ineptly on slashdot."
I did say the new BSG was good, so I remain hopeful they'll do justice to The Diamond Age (though I'd rather see them do Snow Crash, but they do have a track record of making total shit. Did anyone see their Secret Adventures of Jules Verne? If JV's corpse was hooked to a generator it would have spun fast enough to light modern day Paris. They didn't do the remake of The Lathe of Heaven but easily could have. It was so amazingly bad that if Ursula K. LeGuin were dead and hooked to a generator she'd've been able to light up the entire Pacific Northwest.
Sci Fi channel can take a perfectly classical story and turn it into total shit. Witness Dune. Witness Earthsea. They can have great stuff made for them. farscape and BSG come to mind. Whether the adaptation sucks or is great it'll be laden with CGI.
When companies want to hire H1B's or outsource their IT that tells you a lot what they think and want to think of IT professionals. They want to think of them as a cheap commodity. And you get what you pay for. Most non-IT co-workers think of IT as the socially challenged help desk workers little better than janitors and they think of sysadmins as someone with a beef that you don't pissoff but complain about and programmers as codemonkey slackers who play FPS games all day.
Yes, we all know how trustworthy and much loved those organizations whose acronyms end in AA: RIAA, MPAA, and ITAA. So, I have no doubt that SIAA is a truthful and honest and accurate as the afformentioned organizations. And, of course, there is no correlation between H1B number reductions and the increase of offshore jobs. Not to mention that older and more experienced workers are much valued.
We all have a right to live in a carboard box. We all have a right to starve. We all have a right to be miserable and poor. You do not, however, have a right to a shopping cart to push your belongings around in. Handy tip - For a cheap drunk, Listerine is 40% alcohol. Even if you stink, your breath won't.
America is not only addicted to oil it's addicted to cheap labor and has been so since day 1. From indentured servants and slaves to Irish and Chinese to Italians and Polish to high tech coolies from India and "undocumented workers" from Mexico and Central America.
Today's big business maxin: Give a man a fish then you'll realize no profit. Teach a man to fish and you'll create a competitor. Giving only works if you can create a repeat customer. So give a man a pack of cigarrettes instead. He'll be back to buy more.
If he thinks non-net-neutrality is so great, then he should apply that same philosophy to tenure. Why? Because tenure can be likened to net neutrality. He can say whatever he likes no matter how stupid or profound and can't be punished for it. University tenure creates a neutral environment for him. It protects him. Net neutrality like tenure would protect us the little guys. I'll give up being a proponent of net neutrality when he gives up tenure.
It's clear from the responses I got that FORTRAN programmers have less of a sense of humor than COBOL programmers. Now, if I could only find my sliderule.

Does that make him a Canada Gosling as well as a Canadian Gosling?
Canada also seems to have a problem with chasing beavers.
I think he should have had the medal pinned to his scrotum.
As Dr. Evil said, "There's nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking I suggest you try it."
Look at him go!
I wonder if the ie tab will work.
Now where's my check?
If they really want to reduce piracy they should lower the prices of CD's even more.

Instead of running a dangerous open source meth lab people could run a highly profitable open source DCA lab.
I'd use it to disable overly loud car stereos.

Are you saying that God lost his erection?
Slashdotters will either hack them to be pleasure models or killbots or both. Decisions, decisions!
