Enough, attitude, itself, cynical. Those are the words you spelled incorrectly.
As to your comment, we must never forget that Slashdot also exists to provide humor to the geek community and that First Posts are relatively harmless in that pursuit.
Wow you don't know anything about how Google works. The skunk works time that is set aside is by design. Its not a "perk". Its how they stay ahead of the game inovatively. They only hire really really smart people (PhD's) to begin with. So basically everyone there IS a genius. Also the creators of skunk work projects are allocated extra shares of Google to reward them for their creativity.
Its not in any way something "allowed" to mollify the masses.
Talk about soul sucking. I couldn't imagine anything more soul sucking then pre-limiting your options just because you don't want to deal with a difficult job. Ruling out having kids and owning a home just so you can never have to worry about debts? If that isn't soul destroying then I don't know what is.
I wasn't cussing you out specifically, but I did use cusswords in my previous statement to you. Its ok for grown ups to do that.
Strangely enough I make a lot of money and enjoy my job a great deal. I have noticed however that most people not only don't achieve any one of those things, most people achieve neither so my previous statement stands. Adult life is usually full of employment you hate/despise.
Those like me and possibly yourself who are able to avoid this are called "The Fortunate Few".
I left out an important part of my resoning. The good guy/bad guy factor. In WWII the Japanese were the bad guys and the Americans were the good guys. Therefore what the Americans did was right.
Consequently between Saddam controlled Iraq and the US, the US would still be the good guys unless in your hatred of America you seriously want to propose that America is somehow in equal evil footing with either Iraq or Imperialist Japan.
Why is it so hard to understand? Cars and roads are important to us, socially and economically. That doesn't mean people want to die when using them. Drunk drivers kill a lot of people every year and anything that can be done to reduce that people see as a good thing.
Also as far as I know the road blocks don't continue indefinitely. When a certain amount of drunk driving happens in an area they do them until they go down.
I dispute that. When people around the world refer to citizens of Canada they don't say "North Americans". That would also apply to Mexicans. Brazillians aren't referred to "South Americans", they're Brazillian. Jamaicans aren't "Central Americans" either. Their Jamaican. They most obvious geographical location of "Americans" is the United States of America. You know, because the word "America" is in the official name of the nation?
Perhaps one day idiots like you will understand that an attacked nation is under no obligation to risk any more of its citizens lives then is necessary to end a conflict. The atomic bomb both ended the war and saved American lives and thus its use was just.
Linux has developed into a "movement". Once a movement dies, it stays dead. That it started at a userbase of 0 is irrelevant, if it ever got back to that level then the FOSS community would die.
Actually the reason why there isn't much crossover between the Mac and Linux camps is because they are even moreso diametrically opposed than the Windows and Linux camps.
Mac users want their stuff to "just work".
Linux users want stuff they can "just work on for very large periods of time with little result".
You don't have to spend money on women to keep them. A lot of guys think you have to, but if a woman will stay with a guy who beats her than a woman will stay with a guy who simply doesn't buy her anything.
Besides, you rarely get your money's worth when you spend a lot of money on a woman anyways.
Once a userbase drops below a certain level it is effectively dead. This would be easy to understand but for the terminal pedanticness of most geeks. If 50 people are all that is left of the BeOS userbase then the BeOS is dead, those fabulous 50 just didn't get the memo.
This is what I am talking about. If Linux were to dissapear the userbase of the FOSS community would drop to such a low level that further KDE and Gnome development would be wholly irrelevant.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you saying that there are Amish occupied parts of North America south of Canada and North of Mexico that don't belong to the USA?
Massive arrays of sterling engines. Duh.
There's actually a pretty bad meth problem in Amish communities today.
Fool's War
Trust me, this book is exactly what you are looking for.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't serious about that comment. Afterall a good number of his own labels songs are remixes of earlier recorded work.
As for the baseball batt incident, was that ever tried in a court of law? Or is it still alleged?
Source? When did Puff Daddy say he invented the internet?
Also the man graduated from college. He runs a music business. Thats as far away from a thug as one can get.
Who watches the watchers?
No. My previous statement is as accurate as this statement is.
All Google developers have genius level IQs, as can be evidenced by their performance.
The most important facility at Cheyenne Mountain is the SGC, or StarGate Command.

I have the honor and the distinction of having the first post on this story.
Thank you Slashdot.

Yep thats the lesson. Some people refer to it as "Growing The Fuck Up".
You should try it sometime.

Do whiney self important people who say such things even know the true definitions of the words they use?
If the US was really decadant we would have not stopped with bombing two Japanese cities.
To the contrary, Linux is too deficient at this point to be usable to a significant userbase. There are MANY people like me.
You should quit this week.
