Oh, Saeed? She's not finished with the operation yet, which is why she still reads slashdot, but it would be more appropriate to use the masculine subjective: "he."
Yes, I believe that lying and pointless killing are bad. So it would be foolish of me to cast scorn upon anyone who disagreed with me! They're just two opinions like any others after all, equal in god's eyes.
They had Bush at 269, a tie and win for him, then for a few minutes it was:
ITERATOR_ACCESS_FAILED -- DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ORDER BY rcvd_date DESC' at line 1 [for Statement "SELECT...(etc)
and now Bush is back at 249 because they took Ohio away for the time being.

If you want more esoteric books reviewed on slashdot, why don't you stop grousing and grab your copy of "Linux TCP/IP for Embedded Devices" (or whatever) and write your own review?
My best friend has been HIV positive for almost a decade now. You'll never convince me that your (hypothetical) risk of contracting TB is sufficiently grave that his (real) freedom.
Hmm. OK, I certainly agree with your last assertion. I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, just erupting rashly to a casually deployed provocative declaration. This can be rubbed down some very brass tacks rather quickly. I suppose I start from the premise that quarantine/detention is always (always) a bad first answer. Life is life, and includes within itself death. If in order to protect life from death or disease you deny others the ability to live their life (with its inherent exercise of liberty), you are making choices about one life being more valuable than onother, no? Is that anyone's choice to make? Put it another way, start locking people up, and the terrorists have already won.;-)
(You make some good points. Sorry to be so terse; I really should be working!)
Great stuff 'till (dismayingly) you brought up weaponry. I'd like to know just how you thing a bunch of unorganized gun-owners are going to be at all effective against an actual, organized, modern army, should it come to that. By the time you are taking actual potshots at the local sheriff, by the time it gets that bad, they will be fully in control of the infrastructure and supply lines. "Reds" is an idiotic fantasy. Check out Iraq to see what a heavily armed society can achieve via guerilla war against an army. Many they kill each other.
Well, that UML diagrammer linked in the story post exports the diagrams as XML which you save and then import later. So it looks like that paradigm is shifting right beneath your mouse. (It's really a pretty neat little flash app.)
The first couple of paragraphs consist of an intro and a description of the preface.
The third paragraph describes the first chapter.
The fourth paragraph describes the second chapter.
The fifth paragraph describes the third chapter.
The sixth paragraph describes the fourth chapter.
The seventh paragraph describes the fifth chapter.
The eight paragraph describes the sixth chapter.
The ninth paragraph describes the seventh chapter.
The tenth paragraph notes there are indexes.
Overall this review is skeletal at best.
I give it a 3 out of 10.
Overall, this review is useful for nearly some people, not so useful for others. It's certainly written in English, so more than half of Slashdot's readership will feel a vague sense of familiarity.
A quick and sloppy google suggests that this is the first "imagine a..." comment (bottom of the page), though it's possible that the joke predates google search capability since Beowolf clusters and slashdot are both older than google. Still, the fact that it's not used as a joke, and the fact that it got a 1 rating (while, inexplicably, all those repeat jokes get modded to the stratosphere these days) lends an air of authenticity to the claim, lacadasical though the research may be.
Isn't this more like a complex poison? Though it works on a fairly complex biochemical layer, is it propagating itself? No, it's just accidentally corrupting biological structures. It's malforming proteins at a subtle level, but that's different from just destroying them accidentally (with bodily trauma, a caustic agent, radiation, etc). It falls short of arbitrarily damaging them in the pursuit of propagation. There's no end, just a means. So it kind of falls between a real disease and mere poison.
Slashdot Mirror
Like it or not, the guys who thought up foo@bar.com-style addressing
Those "guys" would be, I believe, one Vint Cerf.
It's better than just true, it's a true story that's been made into a movie.
Mendozaaaa!!!!!!!!
I think he meant plagiaristic.

Poor flaming vulpine.
I didn't know LexisNexis was in Dayton.
Maybe while they're at it they can hold a funeral for American Democracy.

so I had her buy me dinner
You must be new at this.
then never saw her again!
Well, live and learn!
Aw, I prefer waiting for the the antepenultimate moment. Then I get the jump on "penultimate" suckers like you! ;-)
Finally, an excuse to buy a hummer.
Wow, thanks. That was so convenient. After I read the first word of your reply I didn't have to read any further.

Remember that AIDS is 100% fatal.
So is life.

Yes, quarantine. And why not for the Japs, too? And Kentukians?
Fuck yes!
Score 2 interesting? Blaming AIDS sufferers for TB?
Mods, what the hell are you smoking?
We do both kinds of database: Access and Excel.

when he claimed that everybody in Vietnam was a war criminal
Show me that.
He claimed he had been told of atrocities. Do you deny that any such were committed by US troops? Hello? Mai Lai?
He claimed that that war was debasing the character of the country and costing the lives of its sons. Do you disagree?
So if he didn't say that, he didn't slander you. So what's your beef?

Except I think you meant "gimp."
Anyway, I think it's outrageous this guy has attached a crude graphic of a diamond to his son's delicate earlobe.
