Other than that, Peter Jackson took an excellent book and adapted it into a kinda neat 10-hour movie. Great for anyone who hasn't read the books, kids included, and it really panders to the masses of LoTR fans, but it doesn't deserve all that much credit beyond that.
Well, make up your mind, is it for people who didn't read the books or is it pandering to masses of LOTR fans, Mr. Contradiction.
You're right. It does sound like you're pulling it out of your butt. Show us the link if there is one, before spreading this tired old misinformation. It must be in your browser's history. Or did your dog eat it?
And even if it were true, what's the problem with that? Isn't teaching children an important job? After all, it's only the future of the country that rests on it.
So I'm young, white, christian, male and straight (sex. orientations) and except for a pair of glasses I am otherwise perfectly able. Do I stand a chance to get qualified ?:)
Probably not as much as some others but you can console yourself in the knowledge that you've always had the right to vote, never been someone's property or indiscriminately hung from trees.
Girls I know pick schools by locations and how much fun they're going to have there,
That say more about the people you hang around with and you than it does the female population in general. You've supposedly got a "cushy office" in your own consulting company and you're still referring to woman as girls. I can't imagine why they would pressure your company to diversify.
Also, how are they going to check to see if you are gay? Seriously, how many gay men know a lot about building stuff? Are the various interior decorating shows actively seeking more straight men? No, of course not.
Well, put down your taco for a second and get a job, maybe then you'll understand.
Did that bother you? Maybe now you understand why making generalizations about people is a bad thing. Come on people, this is after school special 101, grow up.
Any taxes you paid covered the construction of the road and probably not all of that (Roads are just as if not more subsidized than public transport). But the roads need to be maintained. Plus, have you ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? If everyone drives as much as they possible can the traffic doesn't move and no one goes anywhere. Is that what you want?
Here's the thing, in some kind of libertarian utopia, you could fit an infinite number of cars in the center of London and traffic would still move and the air would smell like roses. Unfortunately we live in the real world where the center of London is a finite space and can only handle so many cars. This is the free market baby, the law of supply and demand, if more people want to drive in a particular place at any one time, it's going to get expensive.
DRM does none of these things. If the artists wants to allow you to archive your CDs to MP3, then they set the bit which allows you to archive your CDs to MP3.
Ha! Do you really think the artist is going to be the one making this decision?
Fitness to survive in the world has nothing to do with it. A meteor falls, and everything with a body mass greater than 100kg dies out. Were the larger animals less fit? A volcano erupts. A species dies. A flood wipes out a nesting ground. Chalk up another one. Human sailors bring in rats, goats and row plants, destroying practically all native flora and fauna of whole island chains.
Fitness has everything to do with it. A meteor falls and drastically changes the environment. Only those animals who are fit for this new environment survive. If all the animals with a body mass over 100kg die, they were unfit for the new environment.
Your building on fire analogy doesn't work. It only applies to individuals or a small group, evolutionary fitness applies to a species as a whole.
That is not here in New York. Traffic flow rules here. If you not in a car your safety doesn't really matter because you must not be a productive member of society.
Yes we live in a free country and you are allowed to exercise your freedom until it starts to impinge on the freedoms of others. Now, I would say your freedom to run a red light unless you get caught by a physical police officer impinges on my right to walk across the street without being killed.
This is not a freedom or privacy issue, it's a public safety issue. If your worried about getting tickets because someone else ran a red light in your car, be more careful about who you lend your car out to. Or maybe we should go for a more technical solution and do away with car registrations and me your license a transponder you put on your windshield so if a violation is committed in your car the correct person will be charged.
$300 for a 15 inch TFT active-matrix liquid crystal display
$300 for a POS ANALOG LCD display is what you should say. If you're going to pretend like you know something try to be fair. The iMac comes with a top of the line DIGITAL model. What's the difference? Quality, junior.

Maybe you'll understsand after you have sex for the first time. Don't give up!!!!
I have nothing against stupid people, some of my best friends are stupid!
Birds of a feather...
I wish more people thought like me ;)
Shudder to think.
But you don't question the morality of the British fighting the war in the first place, interesting.
Seig Heil!

So Jack, when did you sign up for an account at Slashdot?

Anything north of NYC is upstate.

Hey, thanks for ruining a perfectly good joke.
Or you could just give people expensive tickets to discourage speeding up to make yellow lights. Oh wait....
Which rights are they passionate about? Discharging firearms on a public roadway? DWI? Destroying public property?
Speculation followed up by a comparision to a sci-fi movie, that is scary.
Wow, you really destroyed him with your argument, junior.

Actually it's a well-documented statistical anomoly. A majority of drivers are below average drivers.
