[best george carlin voice] I don't OWN a TV
[/voice]
Or yapping about how this turn your tv off for a week is "Such a great idea", yet the same fools are sitting here, reading slashdot and are glued to their computers 14 hours a day, at work, at home, downloading movies and porn.
But THEIR better then the rest of us, because THEY don't own a TV. As if the rest of us just sit there glued to the damn thing.... I watch the news, and maybe a show on the history channel.
But according to them, I'm inferior.
Whatever.... Go protest the killing of a spotted turtle up in Alaska or something.... Just get away from me,

I hate TV becuase I consider it to be a tool of government and corporate control and I dont want to be affected. So I dont have a TV in my house and I dont watch. I live a different life becuase of that and my choice I've made.
Just to make sure you're aware... The Unibomber felt the same way about technology too... Just want to make sure you know who your neighbors are.
I have a TV, but only watch the news and usually the history channel. Lots of good stuff on there like "Mail Call":) Gotta check that one out, trust me!
But let me know if you start bombing people ok? I'd like to know of nuts in advance... Government control... man you people really do wear tin foil hats around here...
I mean, no matter what goes wrong, when we all stop and think about it... There will always be something we "could" have done differently.... maybe "should" have done differently.
This is basically a cheap, let's point the finger at someone as long as it's not me, strategy.
My Car accident "could" have been prevented if the damn fool in front of me didn't slam on his brakes. But the Cop ticketed me.... Maybe we should look at "HOW this could have been prevented?"
Or maybe I'll just slow down in the future and not follow so close.
You either point fingers (and get no-where), or you learn from it and move onward with your life and don't have it happen again.

Sure it does... What do you think it means? You can constrew it all you want, but the whole purpose of it was so that the "people" could protect themselves from the government.
The Germans took away the guns before they came after the jews. Remember that.
GUARD #1: Where'd you get the coconut? ARTHUR: We found them. GUARD #1: Found them? In Mercea? The coconut's tropical! ARTHUR: What do you mean? GUARD #1: Well, this is a temperate zone. ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not strangers to our land. GUARD #1: Are you suggesting coconuts are migratory? ARTHUR: Not at all, they could be carried. GUARD #1: What -- a swallow carrying a coconut? ARTHUR: It could grip it by the husk! GUARD #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut. ARTHUR: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here. GUARD #1: Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right? ARTHUR: Please! GUARD #1: Am I right? ARTHUR: I'm not interested! GUARD #2: It could be carried by an African swallow! GUARD #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow, that's my point. GUARD #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that... ARTHUR: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?! GUARD #1: But then of course African swallows are not migratory. GUARD #2: Oh, yeah... GUARD #1: So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway...
GUARD #2: Wait a minute -- supposing two swallows carried it together? GUARD #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line. GUARD #2: Well, simple! They'd just use a standard creeper! GUARD #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers? GUARD #2: Well, why not?
Judges should be elected, and not appointed. They should go through the same process as any other official.
I don't need some idiot in some appointed power back when Lincoln was president, making rulings that slavery is still the way to go.
(yes, fecicious... but still you get the point)
Same thing here.. we have old farts in the system that don't even know how to use a computer, ruling on cases such as Copyright, that affect the lives of people who DO know how to use them.
So instead of this moron judge voting this way because the top two busineses in OK are telemarketers!!!! He should have voted the will of the people 50 million of them, and said FU to them. And he would have, if he was elected. But instead, he's there for good, and could give two craps about what the people think.// End Rant

Join a Militia yet?
AAAHHHHH
Someone quick!!! Get this man his Bender fix.... and teach him what "Bite my shiny metal ass!" means...
Trust me, you'll never be the same... the same... the same....
Now that's a SIG I can finally agree with....
If I turn off my tv... where do I turn?
My Computer!
Well, Slashdot is just the same old stuff, so I'll have to see something new, so then I'll DOWNLOAD some copyrighted material off the net.
The the MPAA will be after my ass.... All because you wanted me to turn off my TV and not watch HBO and pay-for-view porn.
It's like being in AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and having an "Get Drunk Every Night Week"...
It just leads me back to my life a crime!
(Come on Laugh.. it's funny!)
When plants are completely extracted of all their dark matter...
Has someone saved the animals yet? Nibbler?
They DID change the color of the oreo cookies... They had a "green" filling for spring.
i guess you two wishes did come true.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is still hope.
Enjoy the link.
Moron...
Websters is NOW... not what it meant then.
Look up TACO
You'll find that it is also labeled as a slur. Yup.. a slur. Go figure. I wonder if Taco was a slur in the 1700's
You'd give a bald man a hair dryer for Christmas would you?

Are you a moron?
It's the other way around...
This is why Republicans gave you (the INDIVIDUAL) your money back (tax break).
The Democrats have sworn to take that away... back to the government, so they can spend it on what they think is best. Not what YOU think is best.
Dude... Get some basic political knowledge first.
It would make one HECK of a Bat Signal!!!
is how many people (after reading all the threads) were willing to burn up and destroy perfectly good money in their microwaves.
If you've got money to "burn", how about donating it???
EFF.org is a good place to start.

Slashdot, your source for timely news.
And for all you people who only read slashdot at work.... neener neener neener....
Hey, it's got a message board, multiple chat rooms, gallery, news, share links, and an admin section.
Nothing fantastic, but it's fun.
Check the sig.
Nah, it was more to imply that MS will be creating patches for all the holes that will now be FOUND in the code.
i.e., A hole is found and exploited, therefore MS is forced to release a patch for it.
You're non-starter is now reving up and speeding away!
The first reports on how buggy the code really is... This will either refute or prove what the OSS community has always thought.
That OS software is viewed by many, and therefore fixed by many.
If there are holes.... it's just going to be some sort of patch fest / orgy. Redhat, MDK, et al, should get positioned just in case.
@remember = ("Republican", "Democrat", "Remember"); $you = "vote"; $easy = 0; print "Doesn't matter if\n";
for ($vote=0; $vote<=1; $vote++) { print "$remember[$easy]"; if ($easy eq "0") { print ", "; } $easy++; }
$be_heard = "Vote!"; if ($remember = $vote) { print "\n$remember[$easy] $vote $be_heard\n"; }
Are you a complete moron??
