Watching a movie on TV while you talk to a girl watching the same movie on TV is the most pathetic date I can imagine. Only Fucking Bill Gates would think of patenting this -- he should patent ordering pizza, sitting around in his underwear, and squeezing pimples while he's at it.
Of a lawless third-world nation like Russia wanting to clamp down on piracy would be hysterical in almost any other situation. I mean -- this is the nation that apparently protects spammers as if they're heads of state.
I'm curious, are you trolling, or just a fucktard?
Way back in the late 90's, I postulated loudly right here on/. that there is really no difference between a troll and an idiot. One says stupid things to derail the conversation, advance an agenda, or get attention. The other one is just stupid. But you can never tell because they are hiding behind an electronic keyboard.
So the answer is, yes. He is. A trolling fucktard.
I wonder if the same dumb-asses who canceled the Moon landings due to Nielsen ratings were working with the fucktards who canceled Star Trek due to (horribly flawed, completely and totally inaccurate and meaningless) Nielsen ratings.
It's hard to argue the credibility of a ratings system that shit-cans a TV show which later goes on to spawn more spin-offs than a sane person can keep track of.
I think about how sad it is that stupid people with little minds have boxed themselves in to a world where we never went to the Moon.
It's almost worse than believing in a sky fairy that prevents you from understanding science. It's like believing in a . . . . bullshit fairy that prevents you from understanding reality.
I mean, there are people going to their grave thinking one of the most spectacular achievments of all history was fake. It's very sad. What a boring little world they want to inhabit.
Thank you for that. Because yes, the same vandals who cooked up all of our other troubles can yes, there they are, be identified at the scene of this massive ripoff as well.
Has the US government done anything to actively sabotage the USPS?
I'd say Reaganite morons have done a lot to actively sabotage our postal service, because despite the fact that its existence is enumerated right the fuck there in the Constitution, it represents a huge item that they can sell off to their campaign contributors. And most of the 'troubles' with the postal service did start to erupt in the 1980's, when Reganism and the "privatize everything" mentality were running wild in our government -- which hasn't abated a bit since then.
So yes, sabotage is ongoing and constant. The idea that we are guaranteed a method of communicating and moving goods throughout the nation is simply too crazy for them to tolerate -- they'd rather leave that important function up to "private industries" who just as often will lose your package, decide to drop service to your market for no reason in particular, and in all other ways take a valuable public service and fuck it up so they can make as much money as possible.
Are we so sure we don't? Or did we just decide that since we hadn't measured any such channel in 1905, then there isn't?
Yes, because in the 106 years since Einstein's breakthrough, nobody has done any more physics. Jesus.
It seems to me that Einstein arbitrarily decided to assume that there exists no faster channel than light in order to redefine the Lorentz contraction as a spacetime effect
You seem very smart. Why don't you write us a book on physics and set all our sorry asses straight?
I worked for Domino's two decades ago. They never actually were brazen enough to offer 15 min or free. Oh, and by the way, the reason they did that so freely, was because the DRIVER ate the cost of a late pizza.
And also, my manager very clearly ENCOURAGED ME TO BREAK THE LAW as a driver. There was nothing subtle about it. He pointed out streets that were known to have low or no traffic enforcement, and of course again I'd like to point out that 30 minutes or free meant that I the driver would pay $10 or $20 out of my own pocket if I couldn't get it there on time.
One reason I don't order Domino's ever. They as a corporation are pure fucking evil. I think the founder/owner is some sort of Teabag nutjob too. A real piece of work, er, shit, I mean.
Anyway, this is probably the lamest PR stunt I can picture. With any luck, Domino's as a company will have ceased to exist by the time we make a permanent residence on the Moon.
Again, I can't shit on them enough. Truly a despicable company. The founder is a blatant liar, and his corporate policies unmistakably lead to many, many, many totally avoidable traffic deaths and injuries.
Yes they met with the DoJ and the DoJ gave no indication that they would block the ruling
Probably they are used to Bush-era zombies who would drool, gurgle, and then stamp OK on whatever was put in front of their sow faces. The idea that the meeting actually was used to get information before making a decision is probably not what AT&T are used to.
A lot of people are more concerned about lower-level negative immune system responses, such as increased allergy rates. Note that allergy rates have risen roughly in line with increasing hygiene and health-care in general (eg., hay fever was virtually unknown before the mid-1800s).
That is an unfortunate load of bullshit. I love how you fly so far into outer fucking space with your speculation that you forgot to bring your facts.
Please put a sock in it. Your opinion is not revealing anything but your own ignorance.
I blame the rise of the schooling system going all 'no opinion can be wrong' -
That's more our outrage-driven media environment, where telling someone they're incorrect is disrespectful to their opinions and culture.
Oh, fuck it. It's mostly the right-wing nutzoids who are driving this problem -- their insistence that "both sides" of every story include the ignorant, stupid, wrong opinion so that they can teach Creationism and Abstience-only sex education. It's not hard to figure out who the fucking problem is.
What America needs now is an old dude to assume the role of high church office so that America can officially become a religious state
You may laugh, but that's what a Rick Perry Presidency promises.
They can then live off the proceeds offered by the superstitious tourists.
Unfortunately, most of those tourists won't have a lot of money, as they will be coming from third-world shitholes just like ours. In the meantime, the advanced and developed nations will continue to work on social and economic progress, ignore the USA as we are no longer leading the world in any metric other than executions and imprisonments, while we frantically try to replay the 1890's and the 1930's at the same time and our right-wing extremist nutjobs try to figure out just how much our nation is worth -- so they can sell it out.
It's funny that of the top three comments I see two almost robotically-identical opinions that there's nothing to see here, please move along.
Almost as if you're being paid to downplay this issue. The merger of two large companies is almost always accompanied by job losses in the industry. No, check that, I dare you to find ONE instance of a merger on this scale that didn't lead to widespread job destruction. It wasn't in the USA's best interest to let this merger go through -- it was in ORACLE'S best interests. So the lobbying between nations -- no that's not the problem if you are so wilfully ignorant and submissive that you allow the problem to be framed that way. No, it isn't.
The problem is that ORACLE had some contact high up in the US government who were willing to grease the wheels on this merger. I submit that if the economic impact of this merger were truly lined out, it would come up as a dead loss for the US' GDP. The same is true for such megamergers as the proposed AT&T/TMobile merger, or NBC/Comcast. Jobs will be destroyed. Customer choices will be reduced. Prices WILL NOT GO DOWN. And quality of product/service WILL. So obviously the real story here is the undue influence of large companies on the government.
There is so fucking much to see here it is almost blinding. Unless you're a willing tool of the corporatocracy.

social loser, to me.

Or we need to ignore and marginalize dumb-fucks who get all of their information from other dumb-fucks.
LOL. I'm picturing how fast an ordinary person with a brain would sort out that the monitor wasn't tracking his head movements.

Yes, just like the debt limit crisis was engineered, the Iraq crisis was just made up . . .
I hate to be a dick, but really show us where "both" parties have done this. Actually provide links, quotes, bills, etcetera.
Because whenever I hear "both parties" I usually see Republicans fucking things up the way they are genetically programmed to do.

LOL I guess if you don't see rank corruption as a problem, have a nice day.
I don't know why you bother to read the news, if you will simply ignore anything that rocks your little boat.
8 straight (not "strait") quarters of GDP growth does not begin to compensate for 8 straight years of ZERO job growth.
You may laugh, but that's what a Rick Perry Presidency promises.

If people were serious about stopping cybercrime, they'd blackhole nations that couldn't control their cybercrime problem.
I bet that would solve a lot of issues real damn quick.

I honestly can't blame them. They paid for that dream with his life. The provisions of copyright law are ridiculous, but them's the breaks.
