No.... I always thought you were a little out there, with your strange love of a crappy old computer, but I didn't know that your fetishes escaped your fevered Internet rantings...
The left leaning countries of Europe laughed at the UK and the US as Thatcher and Reagan came into power. Sadly, they now learn that they are not immune to that kind of douchebaggery.
No, the root of illegal immigration is that the US is full of teh awsum and every other country in the world (but especially those south of the Rio Grande) are full of teh suck!
I actually don't fault them that much for it; they knew their market and tried to maximize profit. But I couldn't resist. There is a wiki page on IBM and the Holocaust that goes into a little more detail.
I don't disagree, but I would point out that I thought my "Slashdotters as a whole" term would imply the group think of members of the site, not individuals, or large but non-vocal-majority groups within the site. The other caveat I would offer is that what is 'user friendly' with a 'good interface' to a user of slashdot is not the same to a large chunk of the general population of the US (or developed world).
Slashdotters as a whole never consider ease of use as a feature. In fact, the more obtuse and hard to use an interface is, the more they will extoll it as the next best thing and something sure to make this year the year of Linux on the desktop.
Considering how lame some games are, that IS a major achievement.
There exists tons of research on reward systems, how large they should be, how often they should be doled out, etc. Whether psychology or HR, the info is out there. Yours is a valid concern, but it is a question that has been answered in various contexts already.

By contrast, items in stores are shipped surface using more optimal routes (less time pressure)
I see you've never been a truck driver.
So they also invented Farmville?

Yeah, well, the Democrats in the States are practically the same as the conservatives as well.

It's nailed to the stall!
I may not want to see it, but Rule 34 would imply that someone does.
Besides, there are international flights.
Yeah, there might be other passengers, but at least everyone else could enjoy it when a couple joins the mile high club.
Uh, this is embarrassing, actually, I'm in the bathroom.
If your jpgs look like everybody elses jpgs both visually and under close analytical scrutiny they aren't going to bother you.
I've developed a fascinating algorithm for encoding hidden data by slightly modulating breast sizes, but this comment is too small to contain it.
rt: Fermat invented Twitter.

Channel 2 in Baltimore, 4 and 5 in DC.
You're just angry because their first project will be a simulation of the genocide of your people.

When discussing legal terms, may I suggest skipping Webster and using Black's or some similar tome?
IBM ethical? The company whose subsidiary marketed their census machines' abilities to better track undesirables to Nazi Germany?

If the allegations that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 are entirely without merit, why won't he simply deny them?
I bring nothing to the table. But I also don't carry the hubris to think that my opinion matters a hill of beans to Blizzard, unlike yourself.
Judging by your marvelous communication skills, I'm going to say WoW to you consists of comparing gearscore in trade.

Right, and you are every person who plays WoW. Your anecdote doesn't interest us, and your sample size of one does not interest businesses.
Who says OSS doesn't innovate?

Life's a bit tougher in the big leagues, isn't it Sergey?
Most large companies are faced with various crises, even as they grow large and dominant. Get used to it. The real challenges are in the future.
Oh, and your competition won't play nice either. Them's the breaks.
BTW, was it Microsoft or Google's QQ'ing that got Chuck Schumer to act pissy about Apple's app store 'monopoly'?
