Oh please. Look, I'm also a libertarian (read: crazy?). I believe in personal responsibility, free markets and free minds (to steal Reason's tagline) and all that other good stuff.
My apartment is a total fucking mess. This is not an abdication of personal responsibility, nor does it really say anything about me as a person other than 'well he must find some things in life more important than a tidy living area'.
At any rate, your fallacy lies in the assumption that one's personal space cannot be functional unless it meets your prissy standards of neatness.
Oh please, is that the best you can do? You know perfectly well that a question mark used in such a manner displays confusion--viz., how could the person assert [whatever]?
Oh for the love of Christ, stop being such a pedantic fuck. Look, the phrase has implied meaning, do you not understand that?
When someone says "I could care less" it is implied that they are leaving off something like "but it's not likely" or "but not until there's a clown in the oval office*". So the real meaning is "I COULD care less, but I DON'T." It's functionally equivalent to saying "I couldn't care less", but with a bit of panache, right?
Anyway, what are you like 13? You need to spend your time surfing the Internet just waiting to "correct" someone who, in your mind, misuses a particular part of speech? It's that is so then Slashdot is not the place foOH wait what am I saying.
Actually, not at all. Real news stations like Democracy Now! (www.democracynow.org) have been streaming (and archiving) their news for years. This is nothing new.
Specifically www.demonoid.com -- which is a register only site. This is good because it enforces a ratio. The selection is not as good has Suprnova, but maybe now it will get better.
To search all the sites use http://yotoshi.com/
Considering the strength of the BitTorrent protocol, these sites -- and others -- will only grow as a result.

For anyone even half-interested, the original design-document (or whatever the fuck they call these things) is a blast.

Do you not realize the absurdity of that? What does it matter if no one is happy?
Fortunately they've left us plenty of writing!

Why am I responding to an AC argh
Okay, but look: My argument is NOT that we should have NO engineers. I did not say that.
To be honest, yes, I probably would be more satisfied with my life if I pulled a St. Francis.
Which wasn't my argument?
Right, and guess what? People are no more satisfied now than they were during the rule of Rome.
This argument is a logical fallacy; I'm sure you can figure out which one.
oh for fuck's sake, that isn't trolling, grow up.
In short, yeah. Engineers don't exactly produce culture, my friend.
Yes, they produce many things, nearly all of them absolutely irrelevant to a satisfying life.
"Some of them might be waking up now," Rosenfield said, "wondering who they got in bed with."
So no, Mossberg did not actually say that. Are even the submitters not reading the articles these days?
Yes, that is an excellent summation of libertarianism, thank you for posting that.
:(
If only it were true
man that's too bad I really liked Nirvana

The reporting is a lot better too...
hey let's play the spelling game, I'll go first

no I lose
Yeah, hilarious. He desereved to be gang raped and/or forced to perform sexual favors for his crime that physicall harmed no one.
Also I guess I missed where the judge included "rape" in the 15 month jail sentence.
Internet tough guys, huh?
Please explain how a "Single-player console MMORPG" is even possible.

A representative of the LAPD was quoted as saying, "!" before running after some footprints.
"The game [will be released] before HL2"
There's a Duke Nukem Forever joke in here somewhere.
I find Carnegie Mellon's Online Recipe Archive to be a wonderful resource.
