They should be afraid. Everyone that doesn't think that by signing it automatically puts you on a "list". Well let them stand on their head and wiggle their ears. Hmmm I don't see anyone doing that. The NSA and others like it are so far out of control a child knows better. Even they have more sense. Hey want to do a bunch of illegal stuff but the law says no? Why just enact a bunch of illegal laws making it legal and voila its OK now! Oh a arrest and prosecute anyone who complains about it or makes it publc as traitors. I'm going to die within the next few years because of my health. I'm not worried about me so much anymore. I'm worried about the future our kids have to grow up in it. If it's this corrupt now, what do you think it's going to be like then? Scary isn't it?
Moderation works here? NO IT DOESN'T. If you don't belong in the good ole buddy group you don't get + mod points. I came here for years and read the post. Some were some pretty good ideas and opinions. I finally decided several years ago to post. I made my first post. I made a comment about M$ and Windows 8 being nothing more then Window 7 with the I/O tweaked, memory tweaked, file handling tweaked and METRO tacked on. I said W8 should have been a service pack for W7 and not a NEW OS. Because the Mod of the day didn't like it, well I got a negative score and rated negative Karma which I've had for years now. Negative Karma for my first post, wow that is sad. Out of all my perfectly good post I've gotten 2 points for funny. ALL of the rest are zero. Despite the fact I had one that got zero and the post below it said the exact same thing and got 5 points. WHAT??? Wow what a fair system. I enjoy coming here and reading and posting when I feel it is appropriate or fell I have a valid opinion. But do I think I've been treated fairly? No not really. I'm sorry but moderation here is broken. Now go ahead and give me zero points or negative points now because you don't like this post either.
How do you "fix" a crime? Hmm I'm not sure how one would about "fixing" a violation of the law and the constitution. How do you fix the fact the NSA has lied to Congres 7 times in the last 3 months and still not in jail? If we did something like that, we would be talking to Bubba and eating bologna sandwiches.
IF they did to you what they did to this man for so many years, you'd say anything they told you to. I bet he wishes all they did was lock him in box. I can't even begin to imagine the torture they put this man through. You would be doing the whole dog and pony show wearing a clown costurme by the time they got done with some of you.
You got that right classiclantern. They are firing the wrong people. They need to fire themselves. Then because they fired 90% of the sysadmins and they fired themselves, well they might as well shut down the building and relocate the other 10% to other IT jobs in government. Hmm sounds like a plan to me.
I have to agree with the comments so far. I mean seriously when has this administration been "transparent" about anything? Oh we are shutting down Gitmo, uh didn't happen. Oh we are bring our troops home, uh yeah what years ago? And we're just suppose to believe them now? Why? And yes shut it down, it's illegal. And it's not the fact that I dont have anything to hide, its the fact my life suppose to be my life, private. And you keep telling me how wonderful you are but you keep doing really rotten stuff. Transparent............pfffttt!!!
Exactly. I can't even count how many times I've had idiots on the phone talking, who A) ran me off the rood and drove on down the road. B) cut me off almost causing a accident C) running other people off the road D) actually causing a accident while I watched them talking on the phone E) read or saw on the news about them causing a accident while talking on the phone.
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to call BULLSHIT on the article and their BULLSHIT "data" they "tested". PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL!!
I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You've got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and
Try them on to see
I been lookin' around awhile
You got something for me
Oh, I got a brand new pair of rollerskates
You got a brand new key
I am very familiar with him. No bitching at all. I think they made a excellent choice. He has a very long illustrious career going many, many years. TV, movies, series, hell even Dr Who before. Yes I think we are in for a chance in the Doctor's style once again. It will be a interesting ride to see how he handles the series. I will be awaiting his appearance with anticipation.:)
Blathering? I thought I made it pretty clear to anyone with a brain. I have bought MANY products from them over the years. And NONE of them were defective. What part of NONE do you not understand? You are the one blathering about "75% of my orders were defective". Hmm OK, wink, wink.
Meriam Webster: NONE 1) not any 2) not one: Nobody 3) not any such thing or person 4) no part: nothing,
My brother bought parts from them, the company we owned bought parts from them. My customers bought parts from them. Seems you and the guy below are the only people who got bad parts. I dont believe in Karma, IT WAS A JOKE. I was saying WHY are you the only one out of a hundreds who posted above, to get 75% defective??
Very odd wouldn't you say?
Maybe for your sake, next time I'll put "THIS IS A FUNNY STATEMENT". It was "funny" as in karma being real, old sayings such as "what goes around" comes around. I was stating that you must have done some really really wrong in your life to have 1000 times the bad luck of everyone else in this thread. Sorry you didn't understand. Do you understand now? Please carry on with YOUR blathering.
Wow Karma is sure following your ass. You must have been a mass murderer in your last life. I NEVER had anything defective from them. Oh well you know the saying "what goes around comes around". So maybe you should just atone for your evil deeds now.:P
Sad to hear this news. I've done business with them from time to time for many years. I understand what they are going through with the changing market. I've been there before. I hope they read slashdot and can at least for myself say THANK YOU FOR ALL THE YEARS YOU WERE HERE.
Kotick has to be the most evil man in gaming today. If he's not number 1, he's in the top 3. This man needs to learn how to say "May I help you please" and flip hamburgers. He has no business in ANY area of the gaming business. I don't think he should even be allowed to work at Gamestop as counter help. Other than that, have a nice day.:)
Thank you. That video was very informative and concurred with all the info I had gotten myself. I would STRONGLY suggest everyone who reads this post GO SEE THE VIDEO.The media has mishandled this badly as they normally do. This has been blown so far out of proportion it is insane. The fact that the media actually edited to tape to make it seem racist is beyond imagination. They need to be prosecuted for it. The DA fired a assistant DA for giving the defense the tapes of Trayvons cell phone. The DA ILLEGALLY withheld the evidence from the defense. And the list goes on. This was so mishandled it is crazy. The decision of the trial has been given. Now it is time for it to end. Riots will NOT solve anything. And Rev Sharpton has got to be one of the most racist people walking the planet. Has he said one word about the 19 black people killed by black in Chicago over the weekend? No, not one word. But this Zimmerman incident that has national attention, ahh well that allows his face in the national public again where he is stirring up more trouble. Let it be, its over. A fair trial has already been done and the verdict is in.
This kind of activity is becoming the norm. Do the RIGHT thing and get fired or charged with a crime. This needs to STOP. I realize it may not do much but I do file petitions to try and stop it. (I'm on oxygen 24/7 and have multiple medical problems and a severe pinched nerve which pretty much locks me in my apt) At least I try. When are the rest of you going to do something about it? I'm poor or I'd hire this guy a attorney. He DESERVES one. His boss on the other hand needs fired AND prosecuted. I hope this man gets a attorney and sues him silly. You may ask how does this kind of thing keep going on. Because WE allow it. We stand idly by and do nothing to stop it. Yes I was one of the guilty party far too long. But I am trying now, I can't do it alone. PLEASE join me, do the right thing.
Sorry to hear this. I hope they catch the person responsible. Yes lights would be a good idea for all bike riders but it still doesn't stop hit and run drivers. And I've use this man's work over the years. I dual boot Linux and Windows. I've even run CentOS so I'm familiar with his work. Thank you for all your hard work.
Because I find just the opposite. His support amongst my family, friends, associates, the blogs, Facebook, comments after news reports is GROWING for him. People are becoming more and more sick of our corrupt government. The government keeps digging a deeper and deeper hole for themselves with another illegal/immoral action. I think the so called "poll" is as fake as a 3 dollar bill. Come on, you can do better than that. You need to remember that despite the fact that people text so much. they still talk. And yes they actually read sometimes. We need more people like Snowden who are willing to stand up and say "Hey enough!! It is NOT OK to spit on the Constitution. It is NOT OK to screw the American people. It is NOT OK to lie to the people who elected you, who you are suppose to PROTECT!". They have actually paid $630,000 for people to make positive FaceBook likes for them. Go Google it. They are currently trying to pass a law making it illegal for other government employees to not snitch on whistleblowers. Hmm so they want people to go to jail for not reporting someone for snitching on their illegal activity? What? I just signed petitions to my congressmen to vote against the law. Not that it will help, but at least I try. Have these guys even read the Constitution? It clearly states their HIGHEST duty is to support the Constitution, not violate it. Even school children know better than that. Hmm what's that show? "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?"
Just curious. Will they also supply all the Twinkies from the months missed? I mean after all, when Twinkies went bye bye till some other company starting making them, he wasn't getting any. So therefore they owe him backlogged Twinkies don't they?

Yep. Let Microsoft squeeze a rock and see which one they get money out of first.

Can I get one of the prisons with cable tv, a swimming pool and tennis courts like the rich guys go to?
