If you want to argue against a set of beliefs, get it right and don't go after a strawman.
Go after the beliefs... "that's just your opinion, but the Bible is the Truth."
Go after the Bible.... "that's just taken out of context, only relevant in the context of an ancient civilization, only an interpretation of God's word, no longer applies because Jesus, etc."
The problem with your religion is that it's so fundamentally absurd that any argument against it could be construed as arguing against a strawman. You demand that people respect your particular rationalizations for those absurdities, but that is nearly conceding the argument. We are under no obligation to pretend that the elaborate castle you've built on clouds rests on bedrock.
They fight tooth and nail to maintain the status quo, with increasing ferocity the more obsolete they become.
Which is amusingly ironic, considering how Slashdotters lay down and whine like helpless mewling pussies when they can't find a job, blaming offshoring, ageism, non-degreed-ism, and affirmative action.
There are still plenty of Japanese cartoons, political ideologies and conspiracy theories that need pages and links to those pages in every other page that has the slightest real or imagined association.
What needs do voters have in Texas that are different from those in Brussels?
An inferiority complex that demands they be mollycoddled.
"Yes, you are the biggest state (that counts). Yes you are! You're so important! Don't you worry, we won't let those mean old international observers hurt you! No one is going to hurt my baby Texas!"
Yours, apparently. Proverbs 1:7 actually begins "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge". The context you so duplicitously leave out is that Proverbs is only concerned with moral instruction, and it is really more about relaying the punishment for not obeying its "wisdom".
Woah, he predicted Windows Phone would not succeed at the level of iPhone and Android? Better tell James Randi to hang it up, because we got a real god damned psychic right here!
This is nothing but some paranoid right-wing fucktard upset that the government is acting in the public interesting regarding land that the public owns. Nothing to see here.
Yeah, most of your data would be on a server somewhere. The device is your cryptographic keychain for the "cloud". But since it has plenty of storage and power for anything but games, why not use it? How many people given laptops switch to a desktop at work, rather than simply use the laptop?
Ultimately the machine won't matter, they'll be so cheap. You'll just plug something into a monitor (or it will have one built in), and either that will drive the display, or it would be the conduit through which other devices drive the display (like Apple's "AirPlay" or Samsung's "AllShare").
This guy is an idiot, but it is pretty telling that so many people are jumping on the only actual insight he wrote. Not that Microsoft has such a thing coming out anytime soon, but if you don't believe that this is the end goal of Apple (and therefore, Microsoft), then well, you're a bigger idiot than he is.
What if one 'liked' both candidates and read their updates in order to make a better-informed decision come November? Nah - wouldn't happen. Cuz [sic] then all of your friends would see that you 'liked' the other guy, and would give you shit for making such a public preference. I would.
Slashdot Mirror
Is there anyone who talks shit about older programmers who isn't a clueless fuckwit themselves? I've never seen one.
Bless your heart.
Holy shit, that means that instead of these government scientists going too far with their warmist agenda, they're not going far enough!
I'm afraid you're not important enough nor are your arguments sufficiently compelling to merit the censorious attention of Dr. Dawkins.
But I would nail you to a cross, if you like, to satisfy that hysterical persecution complex you've got going on.

Aye, 'tis true! That Scotsman is a fucking saint, he is!
Isn't it funny how right-wing nerds envy the power and salaries of school teachers? Way to aim high, guys.
Hoo-boy, does that rhetoric smell familiar.

So where did the mean man delete you? Show us on the doll:
Local politician?
Local band?
Local stand-up comic?
Self-published book?
Long dead ancestor who built the first whatever out in nowheresville?
I was going to go with

Looks like someone is a fanboy of either the Discovery Channel or the Catholic Church. I can't decide which is worse.

"Yes, you are the biggest state (that counts). Yes you are! You're so important! Don't you worry, we won't let those mean old international observers hurt you! No one is going to hurt my baby Texas!"
You make Texas sound like a rebellious child. "You don't understand me! I hate you!"
I hope Texas and the red states do secede. For some children, one spanking isn't enough.
Which is of course the goal, to intimidate people into not doing politically contested science.
One crow suppository, coming right up!
I know! It's amazing!
You always talked shit about the 7" tablet, as did Steve Jobs. I always said it was better because it was lighter and could be held in one hand.
Would you like your crow baked, grilled, or fried?

Yes, people will always believe fiction can be used as evidence for an argument.

Bless your heart. You must be one of these.
