I know a lot of so called "Uncle Toms" and they are just hard working americans trying to escape from the "African American" culture which breeds ignorance.
Heh. People, the preceding post is an example of racism, not prejudice or bias.
From Merriam-Webster: racism 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
You claim that African American culture breeds ignorance, therefore it is obvious that you feel that they should subscribe to your "superior" White American culture.
You, sir are a racist, you just don't have the balls to come out and say it openly like your skinheaded neo-Nazi brethren... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Having very little sympathy for either (the) left or right [sic], it appears that in general (the) intellectual [sic] level of leftist (leftists) [sic] is rather inferior.
Yeah, but some of us leftists know how to speak English properly. People in glass houses... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
There are many black and asian people on that board for your information.
So? Blacks and Asians can be racists too!
Ever hear of "Uncle Tom" Blacks? The ones who side with Whitey to the detriment of his/her own people? We Chicanos have people like that in our own community -- we call them "Tio Taco"... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Well, in the movies, microwaves, toasters, vacuums, and toilets all explode with the same vigor as transport vehicles...
Heck, in the movies computers explode with frightening regularity!:-> -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Just that I find slashdot bizarre in that the community is about hoping
for a better world, but constantly denies that the US acts only in the interests of a small proportion of the world's people.
Not bizarre, just typically American. But we all know that we Americans are callous, selfish SOBs.
I thought it was pretty sad that when a disturbed person took a few whacks at the "Liberty Bell" (liberty for Whites that is, as Blacks were still property back then) most Americans were more concerned about an inanimate piece of metal than a living, breathing human being obviously having mental problems. -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control?

2. In the history of the last few hundred years, did _ANYONE_ ever intruded the borders of USA?
IIRC the last time a foreign government intruded on US soil was when the British invaded and burned down Washington DC during the War of 1812. -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
From the private's point of view, it mostly consists of sitting in a wet hole for a day or two, then moving to another wet hole.
Not if the private is mechanized. Then they get to drive between the periods of waiting ("hurry up then wait" is the unofficial motto of the US Army).
The senior officers (them in the HQ) get a fun week-long camping trip...
For the ones grading the exercises, yes it is a little like that, but for those taking part in the training it is hardly a "camping trip".
The "boys," I think, vastly prefer division-level simulation, combined with squad-level "real firepower" training.
That wouldn't work in a mechanized unit. We had many platoon-level and battalion-level exercises that are used to test logistical and command/control capabilities.
Large scale exercises for good for showing the officers how things fall apart fast in the real world, but are lousy for training the troops in the field.
IMHO driving an APC 50 kilometers in the desert during a dark moonless night on 2 hours sleep is excellent training for the lower-level troops. After all you don't know you can do it until you try and this is not something that you can easily simulate using CombatSim2001.
You also have to train the support units. You have to be sure that the supply units can provide adequate food for the troops and fuel for the vehicles... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
if it prevents incidents like the Chinese holding 24 of our soldiers captive, I'm all for it.
But it didn't prevent the Chinese from holding 24 of our soldiers captive... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
The BSD crowd has been offering a free choice for years now, but that crowd seems to
avoid most of the histrionic arrogant, fequently ill-informed posturing that passes for discussion here.
ROTFL!!! You obviously must be new to Slashdot otherwise by now you would have seen the BSD people crawling out of the woodwork crowing how superior their OS is everytime a Linux article gets posted...

I think the historical evidence is pretty clear; the use of personal computers was not widespread until interfaces like
the MAC OS and Windows became available.
You are putting the cart before the horse. In reality Mac OS and Windows did not become available until the use of personal computers became widespread... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
I wish Slashdot would flag all anti-MS posts so I can filter them out.
I wish Slashdot would flag all pro-MS posts so I can filter them out.:->
You guys are boring me silly.
You can always try USENET: alt.I.want.to.brown.nose.Bill.Gates
These posts reek of anger and ignorance.
No, if a better product exists, the people that continue use Microsoft products are the ignorant ones.
The only time I get angry is when I have to use a substandard product that does not allow me to do what I want. For example, why can't we get an option to turn off ALL the stupid "Are you sure?" dialog boxes. To me, quit means QUIT dammit, not quit oops I changed my mind and I don't want to quit anymore.
At least with open source you can hack the source and get rid of petty annoyances like that. Try doing that with your M$ products... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
As long they undergo a naturalization process, and follow the rules set within, then, as far as I am concerned, they can stay..
We (US) has enought illegal aliens to want to worry about ones NOT from Mexico and SE Asia.
So if you are an illegal alien from Canada then the U.S. Government should not worry about you because of all the illegal aliens who are Mexican and Asian?
Hmmm... were you born an IDIOT or did you become one recently? -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
I'd think the state department would be getting in contact with them to arrange diplomatic relations and exchange of culture, software, etc.
I hope the State Department doesn't give the aliens any Microsoft software. That probably would be reason enough for them to destroy the Earth.:-> -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Think about it. When an
illegal alien comes into the USA what happens? They get a FREE place to stay until there's enough of them for the border
patrol to take back. Then there's the FREE ride back to their country. Sometimes there is even a FREE dinner involved.
If I had a penny every time a tiny-brained racist pendejo said something stupid, I would be richer than Bill Gates... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Don't you actually have to be a convict or a child to be "taken off the streets" as you say?
Nope. In some neighborhoods in the U.S. all you have to be is minority...
If someone isn't hurting anyone, no one has the right to restrict them from walking free.
Tell that to the White cop pointing a gun at you just because you are Black or Chicano. Are you gonna argue with him and take the risk of getting shot or are you just going to submit quietly? -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Those who believe in White power are extreme RIGHT-WING types, so they were more apt to vote for the idiot son of one of the worst presidents the U.S. has ever had over a "liberal". That guy would probably call Al Gore a "nigger lover" would NEVER vote for him.
I haven't made up my mind on whether you are truly clueless and don't know what you are talking about, or if you are extremely clever and are recruiting potential converts for the Republican Party... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!

Apart from the duck, they're both simply copying real-world items to use as

Certain OS and UI features will be unavailable unless you use the XP interface. Some software may not work properly, or not work at all.
And exactly how can that be considered a feature? Sounds like XP is not really 100% backward compatible... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!

Every time a german buys an MS operating system some money flows out of germany and into
the US. Great for us, sucks for germany.

Which we have seen less than 5 occurrences in the last year (200 users at location A, 40 hour work week, less than 5 blue

"can't \Can't\ A colloquial contraction for can not."
Colloquial means that it is used in conversation, but is not valid English.
Well Merriam-Webster's definition simply says: "can not". It also says "VALID implies being supported by objective truth or generally accepted authority . There is a list of online dictionaries listed at English Online Dictionaries. Let't look at a few "generally accepted authorities" at random:
