    I tried to study Lenin, but I got arrested when I tried to break the glass surrounding his desiccated corpse.

    Speaking of worker's revolution, you should have seen the call center after I told the drones that I was cutting them back to one bathroom break per eight hour shift. Well they were livid let me tell you! One guy even threatened to quit so I fired him for cause.
    Now that was a revolution!

    I agree! For our first act of civil disobedience aimed at bringing down the imperialists, howabout lets go stand in front of this laser to prevent its firing!
    Or on second thought, you do that -- I'll go protest as close as I can get to the Pentagon.

  13. Re:Dwarves on Why Are Fantasy World Accents British? · · Score: 1

    Scotch adj; a largely obsolescent adjective meaning having to do with Scotland and usually now considered pejorative (unless related to food or drink).

    I just knew there was a reason I chose that word. Thanks!

    Dinosaurs, for example, call to mind evolution, which might upset fundamentalists...

    What? Why does NYC think that fundamentalists have a problem with dinosaurs?
    Noah's ark was plenty big enough for two of each kind of dinosaur baby.

    You name it, it's become bloated: buffers, bellies, butts, pretty much everything.

  21. Apple does NOT use child labor! on What's Not To Like About New iPad? · · Score: 1

    but the rest of us know that Apple is over-priced, under-specced and your toys are made by exploiting children in sweatshops

    Now that's just not true. Apple does not exploit children in sweatshops!

    Apple products are made by enslaved fetuses.
    Yes, it's true. Apple manufactures in China because of the large available number of unwanted female fetuses. Chinese parents want a boy to carry on the family name, but because of the one-child policy it's an iffy proposition. So Apple collects unwanted female fetuses and enslaves them. Fetal fingers are very small and can do very fine precision work. And fetuses never complain about working conditions or ask for time off.

    So please stop saying that Apple exploits children. It's just not true.
    Exploited children are too expensive. Enslaved fetuses are the key to Apple's superior supply chain.

    Static electricity occurs when one thing rubs against another thing . Trees have a lot more surface area for the wind to rub against than empty fields.

    Is that the feeling we get from sex?

    You're asking this on Slashdot?

    The fact that someone posting on slashdot has to ask what sex feels like doesn't surprise me at all.
