And meanwhile, those of us techies, without axes to grind, when asked why we never have trouble with our computers will say "I bought a Mac" and convince even more.
Anti-Mac people and Linux people... Do you have any idea what the average person thinks of you? They view your paranoid rantings and ravings with the same aversion as the panhandler on the street complaining about the CIA listening to his thoughts through the fillings in his teeth.
The deaths were supposed to be cheesy and lack impact. Geez, you people who piss and moan about the movie really DON'T get it, do you? Sorry it wasn't the same pro-war porn that the novel was.
Exactly. Someone said "oh, your ex wife isn't being a bitch, it's her lawyer". Um, no, she chose to let him speak in her stead, therefore she is responsible for his actions.
I've been noticing this lately. While annoying as all getout, I find the convenience and channel selection to be such a marked improvement over terrestrial radio that I merely deal with it.
You gotta expect some instability in the game. It was created by a first time programmer with no previous project experience in only six days, without the help of caffeine.
I agree 100% that Tahitian pussy was the cause of the Bounty mutiny. Fine island women or go back to troglodytes in the UK? It's a simple answer even today.
What you present as the reason for the Rum Rebellion is what I understood it to be, but I won't draw a hard line in the sand, owing to little knowledge on the subject.
Interesting question you pose. An original thought, or something you picked up elsewhere?
This is the book that recites the modern events. It's clear from a reading that sexual abuse has been an issue on Pitcairn for far longer than Steve Christian and his father have been around.250 years may be a slight exaggeration, but 100 years is supported by at least one account from the turn of the last century (referenced in the book).
Now, on the the question of governorship: how does an inability to govern an island while London is undermining you support a claim that Bligh was inept at captaining a naval vessel. One must also look at his crossing to Timor (?? I can't remember if that's where he went after the mutiny) as an indicator of a set of skills that you and I certainly do not possess. IIRC, he continued his mapping mission while this was underway as well.
(Although your point that some Apple fans are elitists is well founded. Worst thing about getting my MBP was going into the Apple store and sharing air with those miserably stuckup cocksuckers who own Macs.)
Nevermind c=64love. He's just venting some nerd rage, which is his wont. But if you're bored, poke him with a stick again, and he'll start ranting about how much better the Amiga was and how the world would be peace and bunnies if it weren't for that evil Mac, so beloved by the biased press.

TBH though, Rand was REALLY ugly.
That was Verhoeven's intent. He tried to pull it off in Robocop, but couldn't quite get away with it.

And your post gets today's award for being a truffle amongst the shit that makes up slashdot.
Wait, "serendipity" is a pretentious word now?
Sometimes strange, wonderful, coincidental things happen.
Shakespeare's stuff is still copyrighted? Damn, these extensions are getting ridiculous.
hay now, don't be handing out our past like that. Now a bunch of wannabes will pretend they have always been here.
Hey, when did slashdot id's make it to six digits?
For most slashdotters, it's also upstairs.

The sickening thing isn't that our congressmen are whores, it is that they are cheap whores.
You mean THEIR software that you are renting?

Screens or it's fake.
You could try getting a job and a girlfriend (or boyfriend). Between the two, your free time will disappear in a heartbeat.
You say you have both? Ok, now get a fulltime job, and find a girlfriend who isn't cheating on you.

I'll defer to you on the governorship, as my knowledge of the subject begins and ends with Wikipedia articles.
But let me ask this: was Bligh's poor performance as governor based on absolute merits, or on his abilities relative to his predecessor?
The fact that PC types think that interface is mere aesthetics is why it will never be the year of the Linux desktop.

On what planet is Honda competitive in F1? Just tell me where they show up in the . Your bad analogy is bad. Try again.

You ran System 7 on a Classic? Blech, I upgraded to it, then 'up'graded back to 6.0.8.

I thought most slashbots belonged to a religion that states A=A?
Fully understanding this concept led me to drink heavily in college and drop chemistry as a major. Seriously.
