Oh, I've never seen Mission To Mars, only Mars Attacks!... I thought it was pretty bad.
You obviously didn't get what Tim Burton was trying to do. If you had watched a lot of 1950's and 1960's bad sci-fi before you saw "Mars Attacks!" you would probably would have gotten it... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Every second those "hackers" spend on chat/irc/etc. is a second wasted when they could be doing something constructive, like, their job.

Err, reading Slashdot is an efficient means through which I can stay current on various developments within the computing industry, thus allowing me to more effectively do my job.

A human language should be specified in the same manner as a programming language?! Get real.
Computer languages have rules for syntax and grammar, just like human languages. I suggest you read up on linguistics...
At home and in my private life, however, I am a complete slob. I do things I want to do, in exactly the way I want to do them and I'll fight anyone who tries to force me to do otherwise. I pay my bills, meet people, clean up, eat, exercise, sleep, read, write and speak as I bloody well like.
And if you insist on writing without proper grammar and spelling, we reserve the right to think of you as an illiterate, backwoods hick. Speak properly and at least we will think of you as an educated, backwoods hick!:->
People like you who insist on making sure that others behave in a way that is "proper behaviour" even when there is no good reason for forcing the issue, are just unnecessarily burdening theirs and others' lives with useless rules.
No good reason?!? How about more efficient communication?
Anyway, those are the same useless rules that you spent years learning about in school. If a poster has some sort of learning disability, he/she can tell us about it and we will take that into account when we read that person's posts; otherwise we will just assume that the poster was either 1) too lazy to learn anything in school, or 2) believes that ignorance is superior to knowledge... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control?

are you some looser sitting in your mom's basement playing on your tandy spending all your money on porno 'cause you coulden't get a girlfreind due to your 5 year plan that starts with getting a job in a PORNO STORE so you can buy cheeper porno?
If he spent lots of time on his peecee he wouldn't need to pay for porno. Plenty of free porno on the net if you know where to look for it.:->
The main problem is those sites that keep popping up new browser windows without giving you any porn. Oh well, I guess that's what Junkbuster is for! -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!

It's all luck and being in the right place at the right time to get the payoff.
The right NAME helps; witness George W. Bush's success...
Maybe Marx was right
He is right, people don't realize it yet. Socialism works best with perfect humans (no selfishness, no greed, etc.) yet many modern religions teach us that man CANNOT be perfect. Greed and selfishness have a field day and people come to believe that capitalism is "natural".
Would I give the bum on the street $5 if I knew he wasn't going to go buy alcohol with it? Sure.
Hmmm... On the one hand you rail against the elites and claim to identify with the little man yet you won't help the little man when you have a chance?
Charity should have no strings. What is the "bum on the street" does with the money is irrelevant, as once you give it to him it is HIS money, not YOURS anymore. Anyway, by definition charitable people give, selfish people don't.

I hear few things in the media to counteract all the press generated by Abu Muima Jamal supporters... even though there's a lot of solid facts that pretty much make him a cop killer.

With the media, they're also slightly biased toward liberalism, and if you say they're not, then look at how right now Bush is pretty much the winner of the election
As of this moment Gore is ahead in electoral votes as well as the popular vote. If it wasn't for the "Banana Republic of Florida" Gore would win it outright. In a tight election controversy is inevitable; however, when the one state that has MAJOR problems with its electoral process happens to be governed by the brother of one of the candidates, the smell of corruption is unavoidable...
I don't like the focus on the post-election bickering... it's disgraceful and disgusting, and it's making me want to move to Canada even more...

Most states actually have a fine/jail time system built up for delegates who do not vote as they have been elected to.
Actually, according to Thursday's USA Today only four states have penalties, and the worst penalty is a $1,000 fine. There is also some question as to the constitutionality of laws restricting the electors... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!

Yes, our melting pot is working it's way towards uniformity,
There is no such thing as a melting pot!!! That is just a idiotic metaphor that White conservatives like to trot out, which in reality is a code phrase telling minorities that they need to "whiten" themselves in order to be fully accepted by their White masters. White people that use the term "melting pot" don't have the balls to overtly say that they are for "White Power" so they use weasel words instead.
If you really need a metaphor, think mosaic. Each tile has its own properties and you can group tiles into communities, but you cannot auto-magically convert a white tile into a black one or vice-versa. If you break up two tiles and attempt to combine them you won't get a gray tile, just two piles of tile shards - one black and one white...
