Since a corporation legally has the same rights as a person, does this mean that Balmer could be facing charges for such an action?
Of course I'm joking, but it's nice to see the daily Microsoft article mixed with the daily Google article. Sure saves time. If I didn't have cobuyitaphobia I'd approve of this synergy.
I've got to say, with the Summer of Code, it looks like Google will kill Microsoft first though.
Take your business meeting there, family trip or day trip to a place who has had to rebuild and spend a few dollars there. The people need outside economic stimulation - for years. If you can't make up your mind on where to visit next summer, pick a town who is just starting to rebuild and show your support.
and spare us the comments on the obvious reasons why a few obvious places aren't going to be a choice
Someone stole my sisters phone in high school (just about a year and a half ago). I just kept sending the phone text messages like:
"This is the Cincinnati Police. This is a stolen phone."
"Cincinnati Bell Telephone Theft Tracking Services - LAST CELL TOWER CONTACTED: #28302"
"THEFT NOTICE: ALL CALLS ARE MONITORED AND RECORDED"
And so forth... The next day she got it back before her first class started. It passed through six hands all with the note: "Return this to Sadie XXXXXXX"
If I've got to pick between a few evil companies then I'm going to pick the best one. If it's Google, then it's Google. For a while it was Microsoft, but they have lost steam, peaked, whatever. It kinda reminds me of a song that will torture me forever:
You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have The facts of life, the facts of life.
There's a time you got to go and show You're growin' now you know about the facts of life, The facts of life.
When the world never seems to be livin up to your dreams And suddenly you're finding out The facts of life are all about you, you.
It takes a lot to get 'em right When you're learning the facts of life. (learning the facts of life) Learning the facts of life (learning the facts of life) Learning the facts of life.
Also, which meaning of the word "love" do you mean in your statement? What happens if we replace 'fags' with 'racists' or 'alcoholics' or 'atheists' or any other term you might want to put in there?
You see, I don't care what people do - as do many who share my stance (Jews at large, but not all by any means). What you do is great, fine - but in ourselves we expect, or rather have the dogma, like many others have that sex between two people for lust is wrong. Am I guilty? Sure, but I was looking at it more from the dogmatic view. As far as love between "racists", "atheists" or the others, I say that it doesn't matter unless they are Jews. Even then it isn't my place to say if two of any type get together - but maybe we have to talk about the racism or alcoholism. I no doubt have a duty to step in if I can save anyone's life or save you from great harm - however I have to balance that with my emotions and only think of the dogma (Law, Torah, Talmud, whatever) and not create a rule that doesn't exist.
That is, humans and their feelings and well-being and their endeavors are the thing of utmost importance. Oddly enough, I think this falls into the same category as most environmentalism, politics, and sociology which is focused on "people will suffer (mentally or physically)!" rather than some other standard.
The first lesson that God teaches man, in my religion and dogma, is that it is absolutely important that your actions with another must be approached with the idea that their well being is connected to your own. You must not do others harm as it is connected throughout the community. Making another person die, then held captive, then murder, steal from, lie to, and then later basically deprive of liberty or property in any way. It is a basic moral code that even real cannibals share - their practice is often punishment for violating the moral code. Watch the upcoming "Tribe" show on Discovery to see how this type of behavior is almost universal. The "shun" is to say that you aren't making it in society - no matter who celebrates it (Amish to Catholics and beyond).
Not that any execution of this code is great, the idea stands that by taking from someone you take from yourself. As far as this relates, it isn't my place to judge your inner feelings, if you have psychological bond then that is a good thing for the world. My dogma can't tell you how to live your life, it only tells me to protect you. It tells me how to live my life, and the stance from Adam to Moses to the Rabbinical leaders of today say that your interactions with another is more important than your inward desires. It is how your desire affects the world around you.
I guess, healthy gay men apply only. I don't want to see someone having gay sex because they have a warped view because of a way they were raised (male prostitution comes to mind, but I refer to those who suffered a traumatic experience or whatever). We are against lustful sex, where you like to have quick one-time sex with another or have sex with both types of partners because you just love sex that much. This applies however to most behaviors, and restrictions are abound to help reinforce that overall behavior. It's more of hedonism that we are against, than homosexuality, when it comes down to it.
The point is that the laws don't say much (two lines total) about homosexual sex. It says nothing of homosexuality (and even the ultra-orthodox believe an ommission is the same as saying that it's okay). It only discusses the act and no where does it mention the idea that two people can't live together and love each other, even if they are both men or both women. And if they love each other then it is pretty much okay. Christians always seem to take things out of context - and there is your problem. As I said, any lust based sex is denounced - that includes masturbation, rape, lying to get someone in the sack for a quickie, fsck'n someone you don't love, what have you. But we are talking about "our" morality - not anyone else's. You see, we don't view these restrictions as things that everyone should[n't] be doing - we view them as things that we should[n't] be doing. I keep kosher, my gf doesn't, I wouldn't even think of asking her to not eat pork. In fact I watched her eat bacon, eggs and sausage this morning (just 48 minutes ago).
I don't blame the asshole who submitted this, no. It's the asshole that posted it. And little by little this place is becoming the running joke of the tech world.

Funny, it's from SatireWire but his version is very much protected as satire/parody under copyright law. Not to mention he changed a few words, making it a derivative work.
An outbreak of measles is incredibly rare in the "west". Can someone please explain to me how one of the U.S.A.s most important companies just suffered an outbreak?
He didn't go to junior high school?
I had to get the "MMR shot" or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine before I could enter the seventh grade as it's required by everyone in my school district. No shot, no school. See the bottom of this page (my former school).
Intelligent Design was created by Christians, and for Christians - it has nothing to do with (us) Jews. Can you please not drag our name through the mud by using "YHWH" in your Intelligent Design parody?
Actually, only a few of "us" believe in "creationism" - I'm not one of them. We call those people ultra-orthodox. Actually the forbidden foods are based on the idea that God didn't create pigs, shellfish and their ilk - they evolved since the time of the "creation". They didn't exist in the Garden, so the story goes. Notice how at the end of each "day" it is said "and it was good". Well after those six "days" everything turned to shit. (And who wants to eat shit?)
And let me say that most Christians don't even have clue what "YHWH" is. As far as "turning homosexuals into pillars of salt", that is a job best left for Robertson, Falwell or other members of the Army of God. "We" only say homosexual sex is wrong (and only in the context of denouncing practices such as pederasty and other forms of sexual manipulation and exploitation) and reject *any* type of lustful sex. Oh, and we don't get on cable daily and tell anyone that this or that is wrong - we mainly keep to ourselves. Jesus is the damn facist. Besides, it was Lot's wife who was turned into salt - Sodom was destroyed with fiery sulfur.
I'm not afraid of the possible Windows or Office source code out there floating around - I'm worried about that "Great Firewall" thing I hear people going on so much about.
Doesn't that mean that I can't get back at the bastards?
First of all, soliciting advice on the construction of a computer that meets DoD compliance on Slashdot , of all places, is probably not the brightest of ideas...you might want to keep this from your employers if you are interested in keeping your job.
Yeah, why would you ask a question on a site read by some of the brightest minds in the computer and networking industries?
Just filter out the assholes who use multiple lines for ASCII sigs and have no idea what they are talking about. I hate using the scroll wheel more because you've bought a subscription and try to get the top post on every god damn topic. And what is up with to mods? +5 "Interesting?" Should be "Redundant" with a dash of "Idiot" because you clearly don't understand the question being posed.
Why must people do this everytime an "Ask Slashdot" is posted? Just answer or post your tripe on another topic.

You are kidding, by I'm still sad inside...
thanks for bringing up a sensitive subject.
Now we are getting way off topic...

It says nothing of homosexuality (and even the ultra-orthodox believe an ommission is the same as saying that it's okay). It only discusses the act and no where does it mention the idea that two people can't live together and love each other, even if they are both men or both women.

So to wrap up:
They can be fags as long as they love each other.
It is flamebait:
I can deal with the smug, hippy liberal
