No/. elitist would munge their grammar in such a fashion
I propose that the poster is so elite that he is completely out of touch with Joe Average. Alas, due to this, his attempt at pretending to be average failed.
How would you feel about this man if it was your child's photograph on this man's notebook
If you're going to bring emotion, kicking and screaming, into a discussion on legal procedure, let's go all the way: How would you feel if it was your Constitution being ignored?
While I applaud finding a use for the whole lot of them, I'm not sure just what kind of protection you'd get from strapping a bunch of Big Government democrats and republicans to your hull... oh wait, you meant stasis not statist;)
If the "employer's contribution" were to go away, I'd bet that for the majority of the employees, it would continue to be an accounting "fiction" in that the company considers it the cost of doing business, and not part of your salary.
Sirius subscriptions for people who have Internet access?
A Sirius subscription allows you to listen to the music online as well. Presumably paying for the subscription out of his pocket is cheaper than paying the RIAA out of his pocket.
"Insinuate"? The map lays out exactly what you said: "permanent checkpoints within a certain distance of the border are perfectly legal". What are you trying to insinuate?
All the lakes DO however have international shipping lanes in them which is how they could justify it
I suspect that if the Border Patrol is responsible for international ports on that lake's shore, then the Border Patrol will justify it in the exact same way.
LOL wut? How do you even begin to compare a development company buying land and selling parts of it to whoever they please (how planned communities work here in the real world where government bogeymen aren't hiding under every single damn rock) to the government telling you "how and where you can live your life"? How is this different from the guy at Wal-Mart that decides how many brands of pickles to offer for you to buy? Has Wal-Mart failed yet?
The airliners have nothing to fear. Since the trains levitate, the TSA will simply declare that they have authority over security for them, and they'll make sure its just as much of a hassle as flying.
One has a harder time claiming "privacy violation"
True, but people can point and say that they are displaying "shocking disregard to their personal privacy", which is what the original poster was whining about.
I did. this tells me that the CRA only applied to banks, and that half of the subprime lenders weren't banks, they were unregulated corporations that made subprime loans because they were good money.
Furthermore, Fannie Mae estimated in 2007 that "up to half" of the subprime loans it had bought from brokers could have been qualified for "better terms" than they received. Brokers made these people subprime loans because subprime loans were good money and the lenders didn't bother to shop around for a broker that wouldn't rip them off.
Did the Democrats set up the failure? Sure, then we had the "Republican Revolution" and they didn't do a thing to stop it, because big business was making big money and didn't want to stop, even after Bush undid Clinton's CRA regulations.
You're blaming the "Community Reinvestment Act" (CRA) that basically forces banks to lend to people they wouldn't otherwise lend to (i.e. people with bad credit) because they have to fulfill racial quotas.
If you're arguing that there's a better way, then it should be stuck in a local maximum. Otherwise, once you're over the bump, it's all downhill from here.
xenosaga started strong but faded more into jpop as the series went on
Xenosaga I's soundtrack was composed by Yasunori Mitsuda (who did Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross among others), but after that the remainder of the series had music composed by Yuki Kajiura, which explains the shift in style.
Secret of Mana's composer Hiroki Kikuta worked on a few more console games, but these days it looks like he's been busy with both developing and composing for MMORPGs. There's a really interesting interview with him here.
Food for thought: is there an entry for "terrorism-anti-abortion protester"?
Does the Maryland State Police throw everyone who protests into the terrorist list, or only those who protest against whatever groups or policies that certain members of the State Police like?
Slashdot Mirror
This story is nothing more than an "isolatedpocketofcommonsense"
I'd save your complaints until people start using the "suddenpandemicofcommonsense" tag.

The correct response should have been
How would you feel about this man if it was your child's photograph on this man's notebook

a statis field.
While I applaud finding a use for the whole lot of them, I'm not sure just what kind of protection you'd get from strapping a bunch of Big Government democrats and republicans to your hull... oh wait, you meant stasis not statist ;)
Damn, why do people fall for this shit?
Because the Republicans thought they could hold onto the power.
That's just an accounting fiction
If the "employer's contribution" were to go away, I'd bet that for the majority of the employees, it would continue to be an accounting "fiction" in that the company considers it the cost of doing business, and not part of your salary.

like the ACLU seems to insinuate.
"Insinuate"? The map lays out exactly what you said: "permanent checkpoints within a certain distance of the border are perfectly legal". What are you trying to insinuate?
What are the consequences of taking illegal drugs that affect anyone except yourself?
If these mysterious drugs are anything like the burrito I had yesterday, everyone within the area of effect ran screaming.

If this was a viable alternative to air travel
The airliners have nothing to fear. Since the trains levitate, the TSA will simply declare that they have authority over security for them, and they'll make sure its just as much of a hassle as flying.

True, but people can point and say that they are displaying "shocking disregard to their personal privacy", which is what the original poster was whining about.
Or, just possibly, they are rational individuals who lack the privacy fetish and extremism so common on Slashdot.
Isn't that what was said about MySpace and Facebook before people started getting fired?
Well, if by "crime" you mean "making a u-turn in Iraq"
Or u-turns in the other places using such UAVs, like Los Angeles.
I keep trying to rent Slaughter House One to Four but none of the movie rental places every have copies of any of them!
The licensing for those got tied up, for now you'll have to stick with the books ;)
Crap, does that mean I am going to have to pay more for a degausser now?
It means we'll start getting spam for "cheap DegaUss3r pharmacy!"
Google "Community Reinvestment Act"
I did. this tells me that the CRA only applied to banks, and that half of the subprime lenders weren't banks, they were unregulated corporations that made subprime loans because they were good money.
50% of all subprime loans were made by companies who were not banks and therefore not forced to do anything by the CRA. They made subprime loans because subprime loans were good money.
Furthermore, Fannie Mae estimated in 2007 that "up to half" of the subprime loans it had bought from brokers could have been qualified for "better terms" than they received. Brokers made these people subprime loans because subprime loans were good money and the lenders didn't bother to shop around for a broker that wouldn't rip them off.

You're blaming the "Community Reinvestment Act" (CRA) that basically forces banks to lend to people they wouldn't otherwise lend to (i.e. people with bad credit) because they have to fulfill racial quotas.
Most likely. Of course, even after it's pointed out that half of the subprime mortgages were made by unregulated "non-bank" companies it won't stop them from parroting the party talking points.
Explain good sir.

forced to dig through configuration files and learn syntax
As opposed to what, punching the numbers into a pretty little GUI like one of many?
In California, wreckless driving kicks in automatically if you are ticketed for going 20mph over the speed limit or more.
I'll be sure to find myself a nice telephone pole to ram into at 20 over, just to be on the safe side.
