If I happened to be a US legislator I would seriously consider banning the alcohol use of US soldiers of every age until they have retired into civilian life.
Yeah, on German television the nude dude has a very big moustache and is called Jurgen, and the nude lady... Well, never mind.
Let's just say that nudity for Germans isn't precisely the same thing it is for other Europeans. However, we suffer from it in other parts of Europe as well!
By suggesting that pigs have actually descended from humans you have forever hurt my religious beliefs. Lots of bad karma for Slashdot. Lots and lots and lots of bad karma for Slashdot!
Next you will start publishing wicked evolutionary communist propaganda that Darwin was actually right. I shall ban my wife and kids from reading Slashdot immediately.
When Slashdot becomes Sodom and Gomorrah the wrath of God will be so strong that even Stallman cannot lead you to the promised land of better open source software.
Private companies naturally never spy on citizens, workers etc. This type of a thing is solely done by companies owned even partially by their governments.
I think that we have a very strong case for privatization of all state-owned resources. Scientific studies prove that privatization always works and makes society a happier and more prosperous place.
I have no time for brown-nosing libertarians either.
However, I would like to indicate that I am working against everything the Tories are trying to achieve.
Me, I'm a life-long labour-party voting computer geek with Windows 2000 operating system and a nice salary, which hasn't really made me to forget my working class roots or the anarchist years of my early twenties.
Why don't we all just comment on the positive side: United States is pretty much what the rest of the world would like to be, why aren't we happy that good old U.S. of A. has the strength to be whatever they like to be?
Sometimes I am astonished by the level of "commie indoctrination" among these "Linux" freaks!:)
And on the more realistic side: United States does not torture people, I quess? Saddam does. Get your fuckin anti-US kicks on that.
I mean that it is so fashionable amongst the European people to hate the United States. What then? Wanna go to the "Wahhabite Islamite System" and live amongst fundamentalism and completely disfunctioning economic and social system? What about the right to have a different opinion? Do you think that you might live without you microwave owen, your PC and your celluar phone?
Get a life...:)
In the good old days I used to be anti-US, these days I am just astonished by the scale of this anti-US sentiment, i mean that they just blame the USA and it's all completely overblown. I mean, most of the US foreign policy sucks, but who would clearly say that the US accomplishments so far are not good?
Without USA we would not have...
- Democracy in Europe - Any kind of Personal Computers - Functional market economy on global scale - Anything resembling the current system of very quick progress on the technological front - I quess that this free/open source software was pretty much a United States idea as well...
Most of the criticism against the politics of the USA of today are quite correct, but that nation has also been very beneficient to the rest of the world. USA is the place where the current standard of living enjoyed by the computer-literate middle-class everywhere was made. Why would people like me know so much English otherwise?
I don't say that you should accept the current U.S. foreign policy, all I'm saying is that there are many good thing coming from the United States that we should not forget...
Pretty much a reaction against the yacky-yacky-all-pervasive anti-USA-sentiment around Europe on my part...:)
On the other hand you also have freedom to choose the Taliban as your world leader.:)
All I mean is this; critizise US foreign policies intellectually like my favourite american dude Noam Chomsky does, do not pour that anti-US fucking anti-sentiment without any intelligence everywhere.
I really believe that statistics indicate our civilization is failing. Therefore we have to give Moon to a Foundation of scientists and librarians, who will shorten the time required to form a new civilization!
I quess that generally the idea of riot cop equipment and uniforms is to frighten the rioters. Therefore, the more visible the gun is the more intimidating it is.
So why not manufacture very visible and frightening weapons for these purposes? And why not dress up riot police like Darth Vaders?
I don't know whether rioters would be intimidated by or filled with more rage when they see a Darth Vader-lookalike riot cop wielding a five megaton Riot Stun Gun though.
If somebody looks more like a robot stormtrooper than a real human being he is most likely psychologically an easier target to fight against. Dehumanization is the name of the atrocity game.
I quess that we are going to see interesting robocop appliances in the future, as this riot-thing is very likely to become huge.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, the point is that it is fundamentally wrong for the government to do anything to hinder the workings of the market economy.
This is why we should seriously consider abolishing the government and leaving everything to the market forces.
People like Friedman and Hayek have proved that markets are the ultimate source of truth, at least in this world.
Though it is always funny to read how commie CEO's beg for state subsidies to help their mismanaged companies.
The market economy answer is of course: sell it if it doesn't work.
Nahh. Privatize everything. It works.
Government subsidies are bad.
Markets work, u know? Otherwise we'll be living in communist utopia ruled by evil old men from Moscow today.
If I happened to be a US legislator I would seriously consider banning the alcohol use of US soldiers of every age until they have retired into civilian life.
Thank you.

Those kids obviously need a gun to defend themselves from older, drunken people.
I tend to think that the United States really gets these things right. It is the land of the free, after all.

Perhaps you might like to use the services of a Finnish telecom, Sonera.
Sonera does deliver all of the telecom services you have mentioned, with an amazingly friendly attitude.
Sonera is at the leading edge of the discontinuity

So you mean that another attack can be prevented with your ISP logs? You really have that knowledge?
No but really. What will happen is that they will check your computer logs AND another attack will happen.
Would you rather eat a human with pig genes, or a pig with human genes?
What about a carrot with human genes?
I am getting really hungry! I love science!
If i could Linux I would simulate something like the Battle Tank or the Space Shuttle?
Maybe Linux not simulate nothing but old Chrysler? No?
Sorry, I very bad english? Linux banned here. Only Microsoft on the menu.
Yeah, but Earth's Big Brother has found YOU!
Has anybody ever mentioned GATS or TRIPS here? :)
Why all these trolls?

Why all the negativity?

Actually this dude has a point. There are more important things than superheroes.
On the other hand i am hanging around Slashdot since i'm #&!"&" tired of Indymedia and every sort of teenage radicalism it represents.
I really believe that statistics indicate our civilization is failing. Therefore we have to give Moon to a Foundation of scientists and librarians, who will shorten the time required to form a new civilization!
What was the point with the cult they were chasing down in china? Very similar censorship, though for quite different reasons, i think...
And naturally there were extremely annoying ads on the page with the story. Pop-up too.

Why does this remind me about a certain Norman Spinrad book?
I think it was called "Bug Jack Barron" though i might be wrong...
... workers should ORGANIZE! :)
I don't mean that people should become communists though...
And meanwhile, what do you think about my old role-playing idea:
