Ain't that sad? At some point, I'd figure people would stop wasting their energy. That's the stuff meant for adolescents who are yet to define themselves.
From my personal account, they don't carry literature. Very few classics do they actually carry. I am talking about simply finding Henry Miller's "Black Spring" or Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio." Most ain't got 'em.
The best book store I found was in Portland. It was run by an elderly couple below their home. They had hardback covers, decades old, from authors you would only dream to find. They had copies not even the New York Public Library obtains. I found first editions of Hudson's "Green Mansions", John Cowper Powys's "Autobiography", and several other small finds.
Compare that to an Anderson book in San Francisco; they wanted $2000 for it.
More than 2/3rds of Americans are obese. Only in compact urban settings do people actually walk (e.g. San Francisco, New York.) Americans also use to read, but no longer. Hell, in the U.S. it is possible to attain a literary-based PhD without having fucking read literature.
Consider all these factors, books won't make money. I went to the NYPL, one of the greatest books among their library had only been checked out twice in two years.
No reads anymore./. is no different./. loves to revere minor writers like Rand, Orwell, whatever. It says a lot...
AP is bias and WSJ is better? Wow, you have fucking lost it. The only reason WSJ and FoxNews are deemed as news *is because of AP*. Their reporting comes from AP, the rest is biased editorials.
Bing needs to create a different algorithm that filters results by credibility of topic. They also need to keep it educational; no Facebook, no Instagram, whatever.
It would be nice to see Bing set up access to university-level research.
Ad-Removal Hook won't help since their service and product is sub-par. Obviously, Microsoft doesn't see it that way though.
I know this is meant to be a joke, but in all seriousness it matters. Not all agents are equal. Other factors that may trigger prejudice or perceived flags: how many visible tattoos do you have? What kind of haircut do you have? How do you dress; radically or conservatively? How many bags are you declaring? You're posting on slashdot, so what kind of gear will you be carrying? Will you be carrying multiple laptops and electronic devices that seem unordinary to common folk? If so, you scream international hacker. You got some preparing to do.
I would recommend buying a good pair of khaki shorts, purchase some memorabilia that displays "patriotism" (a cigarette lighter with an American Eagle on it), have a pocket digital camera, etc. Dress like an American or Aussie tourist. Create a persona and stick with it.
It also matters what hub you're flying into. From my experience, avoid Detroit.

e.g. Having love for your country and countrymen != love and blind trust in your government.
It is American to distrust your government. Skepticism is the sanest of all perspectives; you can find it in the fisherman, the rancher, even behind the factory worker. The most reasonable person is the one who nurtures our food and whose days revolves around the sun and whose livelihood is ensured by a good harvest.
Christianity is 2000 years old. Nuclear power's maintenance plan is 100,000 years for each plant. Let that sink in. Think long and hard. For a moment, try to picture something bigger than you, bigger than your country, bigger than your religion, bigger than your physiology, bigger than your language, bigger than your species as you know it. Before humans existed. Think the age of *stars*. Take a slice of it and divide. That's nuclear power. Nuclear power cannot be harnessed.
Since the 50's we have neglected industrial consequence. This naivety is destructive.
Nevermind. It's not even worth typing. I retract my statements; and you can shove them up the hole of your civilization. In 5 years, you'll learn your lesson the hard way. Hell, mutants are already growing in Japan.
Terrorism is a high chrime, the usage of the term should not be taken lightly. It should not be allowed to persist unchecked. False accusations and threats of persecution to the populace (and his constituency!)) cannot stand. It is criminal. Not only should officials be socially denounced, but in severe cases, it warrants prosecution.
I really wouldn't bother with what I said. It's just a response to the headline. But yeah, if you want to push it, the predicament can cause self-loathing even though it's not the sys-admin's fault.
This is when the committee shall drink and feast. A day's work. They will applaud themselves. It is now night and they will retire to their study. Not in their rightful place between the butcher and the con, but from their pedestal of penthouses that overlook the common lot of us. From there, they will survey the domain they've taken.
They are bored. No, not boredom. The feeling they feel is an implosion of nothingness. The feeling of purposelessness. A dry heave; heartless and undefined. As they return to their desk, they reach for their revolver. Tonight, below their precipice, another child's dreams are preserved. To bloom. One day, another day.

Ad hominem == incompetence.
I will lift up my leg and fart; dismissal. According to your soft science, I am the smartest man alive. I am smarter than your dear Hawkings
Do you dare challenge me on something I care about! I poke you, little man. With a stick. Like roadkill. Speak you insolent bastard! You rotten flesh!
Do you have an intelligent response? Anything to contribute? I would welcome it.
Agreed. I would say, if you're going to fly internationally dress like you're going to a business meeting. Also, avoiding Detroit still applies. ;)
Omission of a word is often accidental and can be caused by spellcheck.
Obviously, you took offense. That says more than I am to spend my time explaining.

I also got marked troll. ;) What does that say?

Then that would make it management's fault. They mismanaged, plundered, and expected the union to bear the costs. There is a breaking point.

Communism is great in theory. The same is said for Capitalism. However, they are both corruptible in practice.
In regards to forced labor during Communist Russia, you can read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

They stand just as tall and still as the wheat.
Every American abroad should do their due diligence and harbor this patriot.

Your post following is exactly what this thread needed: http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3884959&cid=44058295
We have a winner.
That's called predicament. Maybe why he hates himself.
Your other post was great, btw.
Because he hates himself?

@obama, what are you wearing? @putin, the commander in chief goes commando, no briefs
Interesting use of the word "regime".
