And, agreed; it is not Constitutional to put restrictions on pet ownership. (Of course, it's also not Constitutional to put restrictions on the ownership of slaves, unless you count the Amendments, so perhaps what "these stupid fuckers in govt" are moving towards is an Amendment?)
Also, humans and canines have shared evolutionary history, and it would be a shame for a legislation to try to separate this history. (Of course, the endo-cannabinoids in your brain have a shared evolutionary history with the cannabinoids in cannabis, and a legislation has already attempted to separate them from humans, last century.)
There's way too much information to decode Slashdot. You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code. All I see is prime, non-prime, non-prime, non-prime, non-prime (yeah that keeps up for a while), prime. Hey uh, you want a drink?
Someone's signature here sums your comment up rather nicely, although it is in regards to religion: "Tolerance is to let others live like they want. To appease religious fundamentalists is not tolerance, but submission." Similarly, I think that appeasing the parents who want government to restrict their children for them, is not tolerating their lack of child-rearing experience; it is submitting to their demands. I agree with you, that we should not.
Thanks; accepted. One eye dead at birth, here. I am also sensitive to the issue; I find, however, that I can see typos extremely well "with remaining eye." Even one space after a period is apparent (when the rest of the doc uses two spaces, that is). I'm sure it's teachable -- "here's a pointed stick; choose the correct eye...":)
The 'colors' is a synonym (in the military) for the flag.
...in other words, worshipping certain colors as golden idols. (Just because your tribe doesn't revolve around the sky fairie, doesn't mean it's not idle worship. (And besides, it does.))
+1, Better Off Dead reference. (The movie with John Cusack, that is; I haven't watched the similarly-named show that ends with Ted.)
Who'd like to hold my clipboard? (several cheerleaders reach for the sky) You'll make a fine little helper, what's your name?

Shut up geek.
Hi, I have to ask, was "soully" spelled by you or the computer? The spelling I expected was "solely". (Apologies if you interpret this negatively, I'm merely curious, and am halfway to your condition.) I would also ask if that refreshable braille display device was like the one shown in "Covert Affairs" (Auggie the character is blind; played by the actor Christopher Gorham, who was Jake 2.0)? I say "would" because you've likely never seen the show... But perhaps others reading this have?
why the hell did they change it? Here you have keyboard commands that millions of people have memorized, and they throw them out just for the hell of it. It's almost as if Microsoft doesn't give a damn about their customers. Crazy, I know.
"Training revenue." That, and the ability to sell "new shiny!"
Well I suppose if we were communicating in German, I might be able to respond with a single word, representing "I love being able to convey a complete thought with a single word." And then I would have conveyed this one as well.:)
Essentially, it went like Alt-F2, xterm, sync, etc, shutdown -h how.
Um, how do you shut down?:)
Seriously, though, Microsoft seems to be losing it lately; I have two examples.
First, the scroll wheel often doesn't work in some of the Management Console applets. That's a huge usability fail. (Even though I prefer not to use the mouse.)
The second is that in recent OS and Office, there are more than one accelerator with the same key, requiring the user to hit <key>, then Enter, in order to complete an action that previously required just <key>. This cuts user productivity in half! (For that function.)
I don't care if a woman is a professional crack whore, a rape victim deserves your utmost sympathy, respect and compassion.
I would ask that Toronto cop, "what if the woman was naked? Would that then justify the rape?" See nudist colonies/beaches/etc. His attitude is disturbing: blame the victim.
Everyone will have to keep relearning their languages if they want to stay current.
Thank you for this Red Queen comparison.:) I think we'll also have to keep relearning our languages at a faster and faster pace, up to the Singularity...
The boilerplate line about "shouldn't be taken as a literal description" simply says that when they talk about, for example, removable media that could be an Iomega Jazz Disk, a memory disk, hard drive, etc., that it could also include thumb drives, flash memory, a CD, etc. Not a real concern.
Yeah, so I thought that a patent had to describe a method of physically reproducing an exact machine. Not "something similar to this and such." But what do I know, I'm old.

Don't over look the Instant Upload feature, it allows you to store photos and video directly to your Google account from your phone.
Handy in situations when the cops see you recording them and try and destroy your phone
Use Qik for that.
Or a hand, at least!

...and you call yourself a geek. (I.e., your response to questioning my world is "STFU".)
So it is proven: subject-and-comment-as-a-sentence beats subject-asking-question comment-answering.
I do not consent to illegal searches by purchasing something. Anything.
with your moronic logic, it would be easy to justify slavery, as long as two parties consented to it.

Works now. In future, steals energy from regenerative braking systems. (Don't misunderstand me: I love the idea.)
Turtles.
Film it next time, that sounds actionable.

The really historically funny part is that the first book to be deleted was 1984.
