    If you don't respect the rights of the individual then you are a fascist regardless of how you rose to power.

    Democratically elected fascists are the most dangerous. It means the brainwashing is already entrenched.

  6. Re:Arbitrary Resolutions on 4K Computer Monitors Are Coming (But Still Pricey) · · Score: 1

    Huh? A CRT has quantized resolution just like an LCD. The only reason you didn't usually see the aliasing is CRTs are blurry as shit.

  11. Re:And with this move... on PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters · · Score: 1

    Correct. I'm not caring enough to have kept up with the issues - I have better things to do. But I am caring enough to suggest you seek immediate mental health care.

  12. Re:And with this move... on PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would probably never have known anything about this if it weren't for this. I will never donate to PETA again. Streisand indeed.

  13. Re:Not really on Linux is an Obvious Choice for Automating the Beer-Brewing Process (Video) · · Score: 1

    ... Motorola ... ARM

    I'm liking the stellaris launchpad right now. You get a whole bunch of toys for your $15... The tools (eclipse) pretty much suck, though.

    It's logical if you have a limited understanding of the world. Not everyone who drinks is 'out of their mind' (whatever that means). Please continue to separate yourself from the rest of us in this way, were not interested in having to deal with your narrow-mindedness.

  16. Re:Why is it surprising... on Cosmos Remake Coming To Fox In 2014 · · Score: 1

    to be fair to PBS, Cosmos was "first broadcast by the Public Broadcasting Service in 1980 and was the most widely watched series in the history of American public television until The Civil War (1990)."

  17. What's the problem? on DRM In HTML5 — Better Than the Alternative? · · Score: 1

    I don't know what everyone's getting so upset about. Content is becoming more and more available online, on more and more devices.

    How you get that content can be done in one of three ways:

    1) in the browser

    2) in one of a growing array of proprietary apps with patchy platform support.

    3) illegally

    Take your pick.

    a poor straw-man argument.

    Card is alive now, and part of his profits (your purchases) go toward furthering bigotry.

  19. Campaign finance reform on Ask Slashdot: What Planks Would You Want In a Platform of a Political Party? · · Score: 1

    Everything else should be secondary.

    it's the only way to bring democracy back to Washington.

    Every dollar spent on other causes is a waste.

    Except the missiles in turkey were only there to keep the Turks happy, otherwise they probably would already have been removed and re-cycled. Their defense role had long been replaced by subs.

    fantastic, you're welcome to your utopia. i'm just glad that, for now, you're not the one deciding how much i get paid.

    if you can come up with a plan for me to live my current lifestyle without having to work for a living, then i'm all for it.

    until then, back to the basement, fool.
