Rise up America, you're rapidly turning into the most apathetic people around when it comes to your rights. Which means the rest of us are completely fucked.
It is funny to read you bashing America while admitting you are an even bigger pussy. If you want to fight, stand up and fight. If you want to stand behind and rant about it, put on a skirt and shake your pom-poms.
Yeah, Apple has to be a bunch of idiots to drive the smartphone and tablet markets like they do. And everyone who would use such a product is clearly retarded.
Dr. Bob missed a perfect opportunity to inform us how chiropractic can cure the ills of carrying a giant chip on your shoulder.
on less than one gallon of fuel or electric equivalent
This is obviously neglecting the energy required for the initial charge of the batteries. A jet would fare much better if you didn't count the fuel in it's tank when it took off.
Frankly, we could have a 9/11 every month and still not equal the number of deaths due to drunk driving
You are assuming that the weapons of the bad guys would not be upgraded beyond a fuel ladened jet.
You are assuming that the government would be able to stop it in any event.
Every act of "terror" thwarted since 9/11 has been due to ordinary citizens observing, and in many cases, acting. Your government overlords have done nothing but conditioned you unreasonable searches and unconstitutional "watch lists" are reasonable.
There are plenty of choices here for sport's themed restaurants that are not just bars. Children are welcome in the restaurant area, where you can still watch the game.
Never mind that previous comment. Please continue bitching about paying for cable channels while you turn a blind eye to completely viable alternatives.
I quit paying for TV a couple of years ago. A cheap indoor antenna later and I have broadcast HD in every room in the house. A Roku with Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, and Netflix Streaming (
Football is fun to watch, but since I'm not a rabid fan of any one team, whatever is broadcast is fine. If there is really a game I want to see, there are plenty of sports bars around town that have every game. I can't drink enough to consume the savings from ditching paid TV.
You would be amazed at what you find for free. My wife dreaded life without HGTV and some other channels, but it turns out the 4 HD PBS stations we get have plenty of content that is often better than the paid stations.
But some folks have a very strong allegiance to watching specific sports teams where there is a bond maintained only by spending lots of money to claim one has that bond, so the money will continue to flow.
Why, isn't that often called "stereotyping", or "racism"?
Only when you are doing it wrong.
Apparently having those labels applied, even incorrectly, is so frightening that all pattern recognition be abandoned altogether. That is why the TSA gropes grandmas and babies at the airport.
insecurity due to evil intent or incompetence, corporations will now have to follow rules made up by the most incompetent, evil intent group of people on the planet?
No. If a soldier, doing his job and following the orders of his superiors can be accused of murder because he should have known better, an TSA agent, following the orders of her superiors, can be accused of rape. Blindly following orders is no defense.

He was injured in a horrible chiropractic accident.
Because I own pharmaceutical stock, and you just popped another blood pressure pill.
No one forced you to ready the story. You clicked on it.
So, Slashdot brought you a story you wanted to read, which just happened to be created by the marketing department at Apple.
You complain about it, but here you are.

Well, as long as there continues to be competition for iTunes, I guess it's a good thing.
The only ones that think Rhapsody and Napster are competition for iTunes are Rhapsody and Napster.
So, what flavor is the Kool Aid?

I fear your comment has already been taken seriously by our government.
At least we're safe now.

This is true, but they are generally tied to each other.
Citation needed.
They have a nasty habit of picking one or two words that someone said and quoting them out of context in a headline.
The hell you say. Not in the news media.
a high percentage of SHC victims were known to be heavy drinkers, which would only add more fuel to the fire.
Even with a BAC high enough to kill you, it isn't enough to turn your blood into a combustible fluid.
Market cap is not working capital or cash flow.

That was a special present for the grammar patrol.
Your welcome!
(Poor grammar is the gift that keeps on giving.)
Try harder Mike. Even Dr. Bob is entertaining.

FTFY
Yeah, I'm quite certain those with balls enough to post as AC on Slashdot got all sorts of action in their teens.
10 to 1 is was your ass and your mouth.
I can't help you get off the planet, but the living part is in your own hands.
What are you waiting for? Do you need some Kavorkian wannabe to do it for you?
Unfortunately, you are correct.
By the way, you forgot to sign your document "Osama Bin Laden". He absolutely did destroy the U.S.
The person admitted to being a TSA agent. Thus the "checkpoint smurf" and "groper" terms are applied correctly. The only term in question is "rapist".
No. If a soldier, doing his job and following the orders of his superiors can be accused of murder because he should have known better, an TSA agent, following the orders of her superiors, can be accused of rape. Blindly following orders is no defense.
