I'm perplexed why some people on Slashdot who are so willing to trash the performance of their fellow geeks, rally around one who is charged with a crime.
If we assume this guy is innocent of a crime without knowing the facts, why can't we assume everybody else is competent until it is proven otherwise?
I wasn't aware that Bristol was a big happy meal fan. If you think that your kids aren't going to have sex before marriage just because you said no to happy meals, I think you may be the one with the bigger problem when they become teenagers.
You have to understand the purpose of moderation which is to make sure that those who share popular views aren't exposed to arguments that might undermine their fragile beliefs.
BTW, I disagree with your point, but have no desire to see it hidden behind the moderation baby barrier.
"The Government has spent billions of dollars educating Americans about better food, and we've gotten fatter and dumber as a result."
I personally think that it was the billions of Government dollars spent on dropping bombs and killing people that lead to us growing fatter and dumber.
You're right. There's no connection between fast food consumption and toys. That's why all the fast food companies were going to stop the toys anyway, because they knew those bad parents would insist on fast food because that's what bad parents do. Being bad and all.
Funny how responsibility is solely the individual's problem and never corporations. Oh wait.. that's what corporations were designed for - evading responsibility by its owners.
Well, I was just adopting the other guy's assumptions. I was given an mac mini and it seems fine, no better or worse than my PC. It would have been more convenient if it weren't USB or nothing, but did I mention it was free?
While many people may have an extra PC to try pre-alpha software on, not that many have an extra Android phone in the closet. You don't want your only cell phone to be f***ed up in an emergency because you put FF on it.
I'm still trying to figure out why a discussion forum populated with a bunch of people who obviously loath Apple products keep getting presented with Apple stories.

Yes, 5% can be a lot of money in absolute terms, but 95% is still 19 times larger.
It's a geek CYA. You can get the benefits of a GUI but still pretend you're a hard-core UNIX geek.

Don't worry, you probably won't be hiring anyone until you stop calling yourself shitdrummer.
Whom is responsible for the quality of the food that is being sold?
I don't understand your complaint. You're perfectly free to serve your kids unhealthy foods and buy them crap toys, so what's the problem?

Actually, it was an attempt at humor because the summary said JQuery was used for developing "rich user interfaces".
I've heard the same group that developed JQuery is working on a database querying framework called JDisplay.
Sure, because when a developer delivers untested code you should always believe him when he tells you what the worst case scenario is.
I like my Slashdot raw.
PC user: "I bought me a PC and Microthing Office but I just don't have me enough money to buy me a printer".
While it's true that I got my Droid for free, most people didn't. I don't see how not using FF on my phone implies a free ride.

Sure, all the peripheral makers jumped on USB because they were afraid to lose that 5% market share that many had been ignoring for years.
By "long term" do you mean after today's users are dead?
So the new iPhone will cost $5000? Or perhaps what one person will pay for something doesn't determine its actual market value.
You're just repeating your opinion. That's not evidence.
Sure, you have to scan your desk too.
