Perhaps what you fail to see is the linear relationship of time, which is a frequent problem usually caused by watching too much Sci Fi, in particular Trek franchises.
He likely walked in and thought, "For the love of all thing holy, you want $50 a person for this!", but in the end felt it well worth the price, due to his enjoyment of the attraction.
I cannot figure out why the democrats are on that [abortion] platform,
A little from column 'a', and a little from column 'b'. Personally, I believe that if there is such a thing as a mortal sin, having a elective abortion is likely one of them. However sometimes the life of the mother is at stake, and others the woman didn't choose to even have sex. Most would permit abortions in one or both situations. The real question is 'how do you legislate abortion restrictions?' Make a doctor sign off on it, well, they sort of do now, when they do the procedure; perhaps a panel of doctors, or better yet judges. If you make it so that only rape and incest victims can get abortions don't be surprised if many more false allegations of such activities persist. Gee, that'll make our court systems run better. No matter what the restriction back alley abortions by unlicensed doctors could flourish once again.
The fact is that I, as a Democrat, am pro-choice, not because I like it, but only because women will sometimes make that choice even if it's wrong.
Sorry, but this thing doesn't read minds, it measures movement in facial muscles, particularly in the eye brows. Many may find it useful because of a medical problem, cerebral palsy victims likely would, as fine grain muscle control is needed.
Perhaps it should be call a 'head mouse', or 'face mouse', as 'Brain Mouse' is misleading.

"Now Slashdot is going to be posting every funny cat video on the Internet?" Only if it's related to
Schroeder's Cat. Personally, I thought it was very mildly 'cute', as struggling with inverse derivatives was the reason why I stopped taking any more math classes in college. Did watching it make me a better informed? no, but perhaps that's why this section is called 'idle'.
That is what I'd call the ultimate "gas tax holiday."
But the holiday would only last until it becomes a problem collecting taxes for road repair. The gas tax generally means that cars are taxed by their usage, and weight, but electric cars bypass the taxman. Eventually (perhaps hopefully), the numbers of electric cars would cause a shortfall of funding for the most important part of our national infrastructure.
When most people steal their product, can Microsoft still be considered a monopoly? Actually, I applaud China for this move, keeping monopolies under control keeps the worst of human nature from destroying the free market.
...kick off a loop which checks every possible combination of letters.com. You know that would effectively remove the chance of anyone buying a new domain. It's likely to make the news, might be a good idea to call attention to this crap.
She might have been scared, but her actions were inexcusable, no justification can change that.
Astounding! I dare you to put that in your sig. Do you want to be held accountable for that?
What if I told you that there is a 25% chance of getting pounded (unwilling) in the ass? I'll bet dollars to a dough nut that you'll think 'don't ass fuck me', and maybe even say it when presented unexpectedly with an event associated with it. I've said similar thoughts with nearly every post to this thread, but you'all seem to hoping to validate 'your' anger toward women. Slashdot on a late Saturday is weird.
A +5 for a long winded story about two chance encounters with women who didn't say 'nice things'.
I like slashdot, but it says something that when someone defends an innocent woman against a baseless attack by insulting the poster, this post gets moderated better. One gets tired claiming every little expect ion when responding to a troll, and for the record one might note that . Then this guy jumps in and says 'really, I've seen one', I wasn't talking about unicorns, I was talking of a fringe woman's political movement and took a good guess that the OP has never met a real one, and certainly not well enough to understand her issues. Talk radio is full of blow hards who use such talk for their own advantage, and one doesn't have to go any father than this story to see it's affect.
Usually Slashdot is much more reasonable, but apparently not when it comes to a woman's right not be randomly insulted. I know that in the end you were just trying to be nice. But trust me, you scared her, and she blurted out the first excuse that came to mind, the other girl recognized it, and was likely pissed that you didn't see it.
Please tell me how the OP in this thread was somehow 'right'. People (including women) have been using the specter of the 'scary feminist' for so long it's gotten really old, but I'm sure that your glad that women can be random attacked in such manner. In particular when they dare to enter a male realm.
The problem with many (not all, many) feminists is that they really don't give a damn about empowering women (which I'm all for BTW)
Really? All for? Sounds to me that your tolerance only last until they speak up for themselves and express their own opinions. Of course you'd probably object if I called you a right wing tool, and while it might be fun do so, there is a chance that I'm not entirely right, but hey, you're quick to judge harshly, so I should as well.
They've got their own agenda that has to do with taking power away from the "rich white man" and then using it to "get even" with him for all the bad things that he's done.
So, these evil feminist are like the Black Panthers. Wow, f*****g culture of fear. The tell you of the most fringe elements of any movement, not even a complete picture, and you take it as gospel. Ditto heads, go figure.
Feminists always come with arguments on how women are the default victims and stuff, and assume that women have no issues whatsoever.When feminists speak, there's always a logical explanation for a woman's actions. But a man's actions always fit in the rape-murder-domination-masculine_insecurity category.
I didn't say that there aren't any psyco bitches, trust me, there are plenty of them and most don't even call themselves feminists. However that wasn't germane to the conversation. Nor did I say that all men are like that, I'm a guy and that's not me. I just said that one is more likely to find a man (or a woman for that matter) of that ilk than the above described militant feminist. Hell, I've only seen them on TV, the loud mouths always end up on TV, it's good for ratings.
Hell, it still amazes me that you guys seem to be making excuses for the original troll, somehow pretending that he had a point and was right to bully a woman on her significant accomplishment. !Nice.
Still, no compassion for this girl you scared, and it's fairly clear that you scared her. Yes, it's likely she might have acted different if some girl ran up. However, just imagine a shy girl, first semester (maybe) in a large University , away from home, maybe just out of the 'date rape discussion' they force on every freshmen, walking back to her dorm, minding her own business. Random guy comes up and without any introduction get into her personal space. Then she gives a quick not even half though explanation, about why she got jumpy, but that proves she is a militant feminist.
What you should have done was announce yourself, saying perhaps 'let me get that for you'. I do it all the time, and a couple of times I've had them size me up for a second, in particular when I've blindsided them. I sincerely hope that someone doesn't judge you as harshly. Dude, you really need to take a fresh look at both of those conversations, I'll be that you see them differently, if you step back from yourself.
Sorry, you are wrong. Some women take pride being just that, and they announce it loudly. You really should look around a little bit more.
Not one of the three posts I've responded to even indicated that the OP was an ass. Instead you'all seem to insist that they do exist, and actually you are right, they do, it's a big world and not enough people are on lithium. Claiming that some random loser on the internet lives in his parent's basement is far more likely on target, and nowhere near the insult that was given. One is far more likely to find a right wing nut job than a militant feminist, and I believe that I've done angered a whole nest of them, again.
BTW, for the record, I'm a dude, and I'd hardly call myself a feminist, but I really hate it when women of are subject to these sorts of bulling. Congratulations on your post, I'm sure that some idiot will take it as further proof that women deserve this kind of treatment.
I got a glare and then a shouted "You know, it's because of domineering, overbearing males like you that one in four college women is raped!"
So a 5 second reaction from a girl who might have emotional problems proves that these women exist. Well, ok then. Furthermore, a conversation where you presented yourself as a victim, didn't go over so well:
You've never opened your eyes and thought about what sort of life experiences could make her react in such a way, or the actions you did which provoked this response. You only care about your own male-oriented view and undercutting the validity of her life experience.
Replace 'male-centered' with 'self centered', and I think that she pretty much hit it right on the nose. Really, I'm sorry that you were 'scarred' by your 'book carrying event' but men and women both say stupid things all the time. Have you ever even considered that you scared her and she was searching for a reason to explain it? (I didn't think so)
The original poster laid a scathing attack on a artist for her significant accomplishment. Those kind of attacks against women success are far more common and, sadly, accepted. I won't, but you seem to.
When attacking others for their intolerance or prejudice, it helps to not be showing your own prejudice in the same breath. Not even going to start with the "crawl out of your parent's basement" comment Awe, the crass trash talking fool, all got his feelings hurt, I'm sorry:(. But perhaps before you lecture me on my manners, I believe that you owe the comic book lady an sincere apology. Otherwise your words ring hollow. You just can't take what you so freely dish out, how typical.
Oh, I guarantee that women like that exist. There is simply too much diversity in the world for them not to.
Perhaps, but you will never meet one (feminist BB that is), and one is extremely more likely to run across a man who is a rapist, murder, a liar, 'insecure about their own masculinity' or living in their parents basement.
If you'd turn away from your thrice daily dose of 'liberal outrage', and crawl out of your parent's basement, you'd realize that the 'Nazi Socialist PC ball buster' only really exists in the minds of men who are insecure about their own masculinity. Others who continue propagate such trash, do so as they believe that some reward could be gained (ratings, votes, book sales, and other forms of income in particular).
" Before the Wall Street Crash of 1929, there was little regulation of securities in the United States at the Federal level.", banking also has strict regulation. Now we find that, ('surprise') tight(er) controls on Investing/Banking in the virtual world is also needed. However, thanks to the 'containerized' nature of these virtual economies, I believe that federal regulation is not needed. Instead these communities need to consider getting some real professional advice before allowing this sort of activity. Not merely checking to see compliance with the appropriate laws, but using their experience and insights to create 'internal' regulation and a quick response to new threats. I would suggest that they actively pursue programmers from regulated field as well as legal staff.
To survive, virtual economies like real ones, need to have the people's confidence.
Okay, and to keep this on topic, you've now changed your mind? Well, it looks to me that he changed his mind about being single, this year he can change his mind about being married.
