Yeah? First of all, where's your proof that they would have done that? Secondly, where's your proof that Obama is even remotely left of Nixon. Thirdly, he was given a pass because it was following the lockstep conservative media line. Fourthly, this is a classic example of what passes for a "liberal" journalist.
The so-called liberal media gave the Bush admin passes on lying to wage a "war of aggression" then using chemical warfare to shake-and-bake Iraqi civilians with phosphorus, then committing blatant torture, and all the while lining the pockets of Dick Cheney's corporations with no-bid contracts.
The only reason Obama got into power was because we were too worried about the risk of not voting against the villains that conservatards wanted.
You morons ought to check your tri-cornered hats for mercury content.
I see no issue wishing a drone strike against this traitor. Ass-ange thought it was his own justification for what he has done. In my opinion that makes him a traitor and should be either hung or shot by a firing squad then dumped in the ocean. This is what use to be done to traitors. Not some BS political trial, which is just wasting more money.
The conservatard's definition of traitor: Betraying the government to be loyal to it's own people.
How dare he remove the blindfold that keeps voters from knowing the direction that their country is heading! We journalists have worked long and hard to support that blindfold. As a dedicated journalist, I'd drone-f&^$ any person who would be so arrogant as to inform the public. We need to wage war, not on government secrecy, but on personal secrecy, and we need to respect the governments right to privacy, so the voters can decide on the important issues, like what church their representative goes to, or whether they have diligently adhered to the two-inches-below-elbow-rolled-up-sleeves rule.
And make your own software on the side. Don't do games, though, unless they're butt simple and sell like hotcakes.
You have magical powers. Know this --> You can create a product that can be reproduced for no cost.
Go for the largest number of customers and where you stand a chance to compete in the current market.
is pain and suffering. Humans will be the last to feel this. Plants and animals will take the brunt for a short while, then they will be gone. And there is always a top with exponential life forms in a system of closed resources. Humanitarianism will dictate that we destroy nature. Imagine factory farmed humans in 3 mile high sky-rises living in 5x5x5 cubes with rationed oxygen and mandatory tranquilizers and antibiotics. Awesome sauce. I'd rather see nuclear war.
All theories are useful hallucinations and nothing more. The map is not the territory. Each useful map will only take you to certain limited portions of the territory. I think that what Ed had going for him more than anything was that he had no map to start with.
We are about 30 years out from recursively self-improved artificial intelligence, which is about 0.0001 years away from Skynet/The Borg/Agent Smith/etc.
Hopefully by then we will have perfected Stupidamin(tm): the supplement that keeps you comfortable while watching television.
Contrary to popular belief, President George H.W. Bush was not all that terrible of a President or political operator.
Haldeman, knew that when Nixon told him to say “the President believes that it is going to open the whole Bay of Pigs thing up again." he was talking about the Kennedy assassination. And Nixon told him to say that because the same players were involved. So why does the director of the FBI write this memo if Bush wasn't the "go to" guy in the CIA for the anti-Castro Cubans???

How many of you developers out there have maintained an aging codebase that was becoming crushed under the weight of its own complexity? Think of how changes become impossible to make because of the number of side effects that need to be considered. Compatibility is the anchor around their neck, it keeps them married to this complexity..Net was the perfect chance for them to create the new seed for their windowing interface. Preferably on a linux or freebsd core.
They also need to stop dumbing down their interfaces. The person responsible for the ribbon interface needs to be shown the door, it removes the factor of abstract intelligence needed and places the emphasis on memorization. Clearly it was done for user education lock-in. The old Access interface was enough to teach a new user about databases. Now it is just awful.
I know, I was accidentally referring to the hot tub as a jacuzzi and listing it twice. Good to see another aspie on here, lol. (as if that isn't half of us)
I have aspergers. At the age of 15, I dropped out of school, moved in with my dad in a different city, and just shut down socially and lived in my room for 2 1/2 years. I just couldn't bear the awkwardness of social interaction. I felt like I wasn't "doing it right". I made people uncomfortable, and I guess that most people thought that I didn't like them. I'd keep my door shut, because I didn't want to be judged for my isolation. Fortunately, our house had a hot tub, jaccuzi, well-stocked library, and gymnasium. My dad was good company, but my stepmom was a b&*^%. Thank god this was before the internet. My "life" consisted of playing with my computer, reading the encyclopedia, and watching and rewatching every episode of doctor who I had recorded on betamax. Eventually, my dad forced me to go to college, and I developed the sort of vast network of friends that tends to turn one into a professional student. I turned out ok, lol. Just google Macchendra. ROFL!

Real Americans want a bigger, stronger government, not a weaker one. A bigger, stronger government provides more services...
Hey, the American government is the one being the little bitch baby about crying over its spilt secrets. Waaaa... Waaaa... How very tough.

Here's the TL;DR: "I’ll try anything once!".
And I just can't seem to find anything snarky or witty to say about it. :-( Oh Slashdot...
If only we could harness the air pressure of the apparent whoosh. I'd mod it as funny if I could.

Seriously. This is news for MBAs who exploit nerds. Don't you guys have techcrunch for that?
20 years ago, I was making computers hallucinate with neural networks.

I declare Rule 34 now in effect.
therefore I do not watch Doctor Who anymore.
Turn in your nerd card.
And so do I. I used to listen to polish punk that had all the words bleeped out. Sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better...

Ok, because I know you are all aspiring editors, I meant sauna, not jacuzzi. Also, I meant "before the world wide web".
