Once again proving the efficacy of restraining orders. Most often used as leverage in a divorce, restraining orders serve no rational purpose. If someone wants to hurt another person, they will, no matter the existence of the restraining order.
Your test sentence is not a good one. The traditional one that is similar to what you posted is "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". Others may be found here or google it.
No. AC above is conflating approximations and interpolations of iOS to OS X. It is true that Apple doesn't increase hardware requirements if they can avoid it. If they can't, there is usually a pretty clear reason: 040->PPC->x86/64, single vs multi-core/cpu, presence of discrete graphics, etc.
spoken like a true mangina.. pathetic. you are a product of this broken society, you just don't realize it.
I dunno. Due to tone, I think he's actually more a MGTOW in training. Or perhaps just getting angry and hasn't quite gone for the red pill yet. Seems he's saying "you ladies want equality? Take it."
Second graf is a bit whiney, sure, but there's something there in that post.
Rational people merit rational debate. Irrational people merit ferocious hostility. Anyone trying to teach you to yield and submit has a motive. Unless they can kick your ass or you need to sell them something, piss on them.
My father claimed his undergrad in psych was because it was the easiest major to prep you for med school. Given he is an ACoA and prone to depression, I figure he's as full of shit as you are.
... to the tune of billions going toward important causes that governments are too broke or shortsighted to fund.
Or, in the US, cannot be government funded. There is supposed to be a limit to what the federal government does, although it rarely applies those limits to itself anymore. I.e., neither broke nor shortsighted.
I like Warren. And his song about Margueritaville. He's just wasting away...
If he's so rich, why the bitching about a lost shaker of salt?
This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. let's see reasons not to 1 the Nazi's basically did this in the concentration camps. 2 it's a sign of the apocalypse. 3 how is a chip suppose to know who is friend and who is foe. 4 say goodbey to your freedom and it is just screaming opportunity for abuse. Could keep going.
Number 1 is a bad reason. There were plenty of intelligent things the Nazis did. Just because they sometimes did them for psychotic, amoral reasons is no reason to discount everything they did.
Number 3 has popped up elsewhere, and makes no sense. Of course the chip doesn't know what's going on. But presumably soldiers will have some sort of scanner that is programmed with known friendly IDs. Anyone else is a potential enemy. Look up IFF transponders.
Not saying I agree with it, just saying your arguments against are pretty weak.
Bar code on the skin? Nothing new at all. This is so last millennium. My high school shop teacher had a numeric code tattooed on his arm. In order to avoid problems with miss-identification, just like Elizabeth proposes. It was a little gift he got as part of the welcome package when he checked into the German Stalag.
That's a good idea. I always forget my keys and wallet in the hotel room. One question: what happened if he wanted to go to another stalag?
Luckily, the Constitution still applies to everyone, including babies. And the Supreme Court has ruled on it, too.
Elizabeth Moon has the right to chip herself, but she cannot force anyone else to do so, except maybe her own children, until they reach the age of Majority.
Bonus: captcha is Aliens
According to her bio on wikipedia, her kid is autistic, so the chip probably helps when he gets off his leash. I wonder if her child is one of the truly unlucky ones, or the result of tempting fate/mother nature by getting knocked up too late in life.
He may have skipped a few ranks, but I agree with OP that this goes past Hitler and well into 'full retard'. And as we all know, you never go full retard. (Besides, in God we trust, all others pay cash)

Human relationships skills are hard coded into us.
Not for Asspies. Probably a nature/nurture type of thing, IOW, a bit of both.

Object lesson from Jack Nicholson.
This one is also appropriate.
If only there was a way to raid with Junior.
He plays Horde. I play Alliance. Makes it tough.
Advice:
The guys who are bastards to women actually seem to have the best luck them.
those aren't the women you're looking for.
Ah, yes, the infamous 'NAWALT' fallacy.
then what we really need is a few deer hunter MMOs.
Ok, but can we skip the excessively long Polish wedding ceremony and get right to the Vietnam part?

Weird. I thought Rob Malda stopped posting on /.
How many women have you managed to drive off in your life? Sounds like the common factor is you.

Buffet $44 billion.
$44 billion / 2 million slashdotters = $22,000. Most likely, you're wrong.
Sir, what do you think I am, one of those uber rich 22,000-aires?
Why would anyone pay to be lied to
Because it's easier to maintain an erection for my whores when they pretend I'm sexually desirable?
If Microsoft didn't invent DOS, then Google didn't invent Android.
They didn't stop using it. They just blocked you because they were tired of you asking them to be their farm neighbor.
If we get to be competitors, I'll shoot myself in the head.
So you're giving away the market share and the profit? Strange way to do business...
Wait, money was stolen? I thought it was bitcoins...

It's not like SciFi is read by low IQ people whose feeble minds can be easily clouded by ridiculous statements about RFID chips on a battlefield.
Not true. I read SciFi all the time.
