It's more than just the monetary cost. It's a morality issue.
Is it moral to take, under threat of jail, funds from anyone, no matter how small, to pay for Facebook likes?
Our government is immoral. Cases such as this serve to highlight it.
Apologist for our immoral government will continue to say, "oh, what's a million dollars here or there" not realizing or denying how obscene their position actually is.
" You can't enjoy a movie at the theatre any more."
Yes, you can, if you go to a weekday matinee.
Some movies are better on a big screen. I'm thinking the latest Star Trek, which I caught in 3D about a week after it opened with about 20 other people in a gigantic theater. It was great.
"I used to deal with guys like you every day and not only could you not remember that you gave me permission to call you - you asked me to. "
Think about it. You spent your day... you made your living... virtually barging in on people who don't know you, who for the most part don't want to talk to you, and who get "all twitchy" because they can't remember if they ticked off an opt-out box or not.
What crash? There will be no crash, just a steady devolving and regression. Every civilization has it's rise, glory and decline and fall, and we're witnessing the fall. As in the Roman fall, it will take generations. But happen it will.
We'll become more and more like Greece, which now has a 77% unemployment rate for those between 20 and 24 years old.
Where is the "Pork Fat" there? I tell you where it's not... it's not out whoring so they can eat that day.
If it makes your miserable life any more tolerable, keep hoping and dream "the man" gets what's coming to him.
He probably won't. You, however, being much more closer to the edge, most likely will.
"They" may ignore them. Neutral observers, though, notice that you have done nothing but make groundless, usually emotion-driven accusations with absolutely no facts to back them up, and when called out on them you go off to pout, or resort to call people something "contards" or something equally as juvenile.
Gotta love how the standard for judging Obama is no longer based on ideals, or on his potential to "change" things or on his alleged inherent nobility, but on the standard of what Bush did, and how he is just like him.
Pandarens were mentioned in the lore before Kung Fu Panda, but that's about it. A mention. They certainly were not the childish fatsos they turned out to be... that happened AFTER Kung Fu Panda.
Now that the administration actually has scandals worth reporting on, it's like the boy crying wolf over at Fox. What are they going to do, use 45-pt headlines instead of 38-pt they were using for Solyndra?
They don't have to. I did not read about this on Fox news, and I doubt you did either. Other news agencies have taken the story and run with it.
If it's news, and nerds find it interesting and read it, does it not therefore qualify as news for nerds? Maybe whoever put it up understood what nerds like to read about.
Personally, I love NYC and am fascinated by Bloomberg. This is the only thing on Slashdot I have read today.
Should I turn in my nerd card because I wanted to read about NYC and not Linux this morning?
You completely ignore the fact that these guns are undetectable using magnetometers and this creation of guns will, in the near future, be easily accomplished by pretty much everyone. I'm not sure why... it is a key factor in the debate.

Except... oh let me think... oh right. SOMEONE WANTING TO HIJACK AN AIRPLANE.
If it were up to the average person in the 1700's, we'd still be British subjects. The average person was fine with British rule, and it was a bunch of "extremists" who wanted to revolt.
There is a reason the founders of this country did not want a "democracy" but rather a "republic". That reason is, the electorate is, by and large, composed of fucktards.
Youtube can say whatever they want. Whether it is enforceable is another matter.
Saving a YouTube video for later playback on your own machine (i.e. not distributing) is simply "time shifting"... time shifting has been tried time and time again in the courts and it is settled law. What legally comes to your device can be saved and played back at a later date (aka "taping" and now "downloading") and Google can TOS till the cows come home but no TOS ever written and tested in court has ever abridged the right of anyone at any time to time shift.
In other words, download all you want. Rip it to DVDs/CDs. Play it back a million times. Put it on all your devices. There's not a goddamned thing Google, or anyone, can do to stop you... they can add stuff to their TOS from now until doomsday but it does not matter in the least.
Exactly. This is settled case law, beginning with the VCR. What comes to your device can be "time-shifted", meaning you are free to save ANYTHING which legally comes to your device, and play it back later. What used to be called "taping" is now, these days, known as "downloading" and the law is crystal clear about the legality of these actions.
Exactly. The fix was in. The "powers that be" wanted Obama, as evidenced by Palin, and then putting up a fucking Mormon against The Annointed One the 2nd time around.
You are a fucking retard. Whenever you, and the likes of you, encounter someone who dislikes Obama, it's the old "product of Faux News" slam. It's ridiculous by now... I'm sure it makes you feel better to spout such trite idiotic lines, but any thinking individual can see that you are simply an unthinking fucking retard.
Check out what Obama want's Bolden to do. Direct quote from Bolden:
"When I became the NASA administrator, (President Obama) charged me with three things," Bolden said in the interview which aired last week. "One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering."
Their "foremost" task is to make Muslims feel good. He literally said that. Yet he still heads NASA
Were the shotgun invented today, it would never be made available to the general public. The amount of damage a shotgun can do has to be seen to be appreciated. It is truly an awesome and disturbingly effective close-range weapon, and there is a reason even SWAT teams still carry them... because nothing beats them at short range.
This is century's old technology. And absolutely nothing is better at short range. I'd rather have a shotgun at short range than a fully automatic AK.

"This is a capital murder trial, right?"
No. Zimmerman cannot receive the death penalty.
I just used a dictionary, and found the perfect phrase to describe what your faggotty passive-aggressive ass needs to do: "Shut the fuck up".
> Therein is the problem, laws should not be based on "feelings". So called "stand your ground" laws are bad policy.
It's not about "feelings". It's about "state of mind". And "state of mind" has EVERYTHING to do about the law.
Medical doctor touches a hotties ass in a clinical setting, that's therapeutic.
Pervert touches a hotties ass in a subway, and gets locked up.
Same action. Only difference is state of mind.
> It's funny because Wikipedia administrators already have the ability to do this with the "rollback" tool
Anyone logged on can roll back an article to an arbitrary point in time using "Twinkle"... it just needs to be enabled, which is not hard.

You were, in other words, a professional asshole.

I hear homos ranting maybe once a year. It is not a big deal.
Where are you going that you are constantly hearing homos rage?
It is my advice that, rather than you tell other people what to do, you stop visiting venues where homos are sounding off.
Just a thought.

You, Sir, are a retard. I suspect the only reason you post as AC is because actually registering is beyond you.

Thanks, jackasses, for electing Obama.

And when I think RMS, I think unwashed and smelly.
Don't deny it. You do too.
