Your comment is utterly absurd hyperbole, and it is also bside the point. Taking it to its logical conclusion, we should disregard everything we know about anything because there's so much more out there we don't know. Let's call quits on the whole scientific enterprise instead of kindling a small light in the vastness of our ignorance.
No, dummy, you expertly missed the point. Hyperbole? I'm comparing what you're doing now to things which actually happened! You cannot engage or refute my analogy because it is factually correct. Then after accusing me of hyperbole you then of course laugh directly into it yourself, speaking to absurdity. Of course we should learn all we can. But when we arrogantly start assuming we know everything, that's always when Nature will decide to bitch slap us. Haven't you ever seen Titanic?
The bill has enough majority to override the veto.
It doesn't work like that, sparky. It might have enough now....but what's to say the veto won't change that? What's to say President Obama couldn't get up on the podium and tell the public "hey, this is WRONG and here's why"? Don't you think they'd listen to a man who has 60+% approval? Of course they would. The reason he doesn't do that is because everything he tells you is a carefully crafted lie.
Wake up. Stop being a sheep, and stop apologizing for the wolf.
I have sent various and sundry emails to various parasites within our corporatized government explaining in no uncertain terms why and how they are failures at life, traitors to Liberty, and parasites upon the citizenry, and how the world will be a 100x better place when the citizens finally wise up and throw these shitbags out on the streets.
Some fat little bitch of an FBI agent knocked on my door the other day flashing a badge around and asking probing questions about some email she alleged I sent to some bigwig at the GOP, who apparently was so horrified at the thought of unemployment he felt the need to send this pushy little bully after me. Needless to say I'm still here, because I committed no crime and am guilty of nothing other than free speech. Most importantly, I didn't talk to the pushy little cunt.
Now a couple days ago I read about this 16 year old kid who just had the same thing happen to him, but unfortunately this kid wasn't aware of his rights. So he let the assholes in, who proceeded to ask him all these stupid questions and then tried to recruit him to be a spy inside the Anonymous organization (lol....) Are you fucking kidding me?
All this because he dared to create an extremely truthful, harmless, and overall well put-together video on Youtube outlining the reasons why our government is headed down a scary path and the citizenry should support Ron Paul. (link) A month later, knock knock--FBI visit.
What....the...FUCK?
So I fired off an email on the FBI web site through the only email form I could find and explained to them in detail why they are shitbags and traitors, who will hopefully (in a just world) die of exposure from homelessness (and thusly be gnawed upon by hungry, rabid dogs, etc in the gutters of the Bright New World they've created) after the public wises up, fires their asses and kicks em to the curb once and for good. I don't remember the exact verbiage used but I do recall pointing out obvious parallels to the Nazis, Soviets, etc. I also encouraged them to go fuck themselves, while stroking their pathetic little egos and powerlust by adding my name to whatever lists they please. I then dared them to further once and for good destroy their reputation by harassing yet another Afghan war vet (hoo-ah Air Force) when I have committed no crime, have made no threats to anyone (I personally abhor violence and war, having been thoroughly exposed to it, and prefer peaceful and intelligent solutions to our problems), and have done nothing more than speak my mind freely and passionately.
So, that was yesterday. I wonder how those fuckers will react when they read it? Will they have the maturity to think "you know what, despite him being a complete douchebag to the n'th degree...maybe he's right?" Will they think "damn, what an asshole....and we'd love to see him in jail, since we're feeling self-conscious as fuck right now.....but how? He's no criminal....and this is a free country...so, whatever. Fucking asshole."...? Or will they react like the immature, childish little turds I sadly expect most of them are, and get all worked up and emotional and pissed off when every word hits home precisely the way I calculated it to? Will these pretentious little bullies in their taxpayer-funded suits with their taxpayer-funded badges feel outraged that their precious little egos aren't being stroked by this free citizen living in Hancock, Michigan (who will never bow before Satan) and will they vow to "teach him a lesson" through some rude and ugly show of force?
That's the question.
I think the USA is becoming a police state. I hope the FBI proves me wrong.
I don't know, but if you find out let me know. We might have to invent our own. If we can somehow figure out how to upload ourselves into a computer, we could live practically forever and maybe actually learn from/fix our mistakes. If the old style humans keep giving us shit, we'll just pack our bags, upload our shit into some giant spacecraft and set sail for the Gamma quadrant at a leisurely 0.5c....never to meet again, until the day we nuke Caprica. It has all happened before, and it will all happen again....
No, Pontius Pilate wanted to let Jesus go. It was the Jews who insisted on crucifying him. Pilate reluctantly agreed to it but said, "I wash my hands of this blood."
And yet you decided to chime in anyway, as if providing us a with a summary of the misconceptions other slashdotters seem to have is helpful to this discussion or enlightening in any way.
but from what I hear from/.and other sites is these employers have to deal with dozens if not hundreds of qualified applicants. At that point, you're not going to spend time getting to know all those people, and assessing them for the nebulous qualities that can't be gauged from a resume (hard working, good communicator, gets along with others, etc.), you're going to take as many shortcuts and possible
Only if you're a fucking moron. This is idiotic hiring advice, and an oversimplification by somebody who doesn't understand. (Who'd have guessed?)
What a retarded statement. Seriously, slap yourself. Or would you like to be held personally responsible the next time some crazy ass white (or black, or Mexican) person does something crazy? Stop believing propaganda, you fucking racist tool.
That doesn't mean we should welcome it's coming and do nothing to delay it.
No, but it does mean you shouldn't overreact, act like a fucking terrified idiot, and do the exact opposite things you would do if you wanted to prevent it.
Anyone who has actually read the Hadith will know that it's full of hundreds of exhortations to attack and kill infidels.
So who is defined as an "infidel?"
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians, any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
This is the problem, we know a lot about the complexity and function of DNA.
No, the problem is, you think you do when in reality you don't know shit. Future generations will look back on your pronouncements of "knowing so much" about DNA to be as laughable as us hearing stories of professors back in the 1930s who claimed all the important stuff had been discovered, and that there is nothing useful left to research into. In other words, dead wrong, ignorant, and stupid.
A company is only as good as its employees, and having demotivated employees is not good for any company. If the employees are underwater on their stock for the forseeable future, it's going to be hard to keep them motivated.
What part of Zuck's business plan seems to imply he's in it for the long haul?
Now do tell what your race did? We Jews compose 0.3% of this planet's population, yet we won over 30% of Nobel Prizes, Field Medals, Chess Masters, Wrote the best and most renowned and thought provoking books... After all, this is why you hate us, because when you look into the mirror... you know that you'll never reach our level... it's not in your genes.
LOL, I had skipped over this bit of stupidity before making my last reply. No wonder you're so butthurt over perceived hatred of Jews: you're one of them. Too bad you're too much of a fucking coward to sign in with your real name so that everyone here can know you're a Jew. What's it matter, right? After all you're the world's BEST race, destined to bury the rest of us. You should be proud of who you are and be glad to sign your name to your posting, instead of hiding behind Anonymity like the coward you are.
Your race is the best on Earth? Give me a fucking break. The first trillionaire in this solar system won't be a Jew . It will be a Scot/German/English/Welsh/Cherokee.
That will roll around in some half a dozen years, but Ubuntu also has YY.MM version numbers, so you know immediately that version 08.04 is over four years old
Why is that important?
Also, why is it so important to release two new versions a year?
I bet the same arguments were made by the shitheads surrounded our Patriots. The whole time they were overthrowing the King and rebelling against his tyranny, others squawked about the impracticality of it all.

You're a moron. Read history.
No, Pontius Pilate wanted to let Jesus go. It was the Jews who insisted on crucifying him. Pilate reluctantly agreed to it but said, "I wash my hands of this blood."
But seriously your parents have trouble putting the following in numeric order: 1, 2.0, 2.5, 3, 4.0, 4.5?
How do these people breathe?
I admit I do not have any experience with hiring

They killed Jesus Christ for preaching peace, non-violence, and the rejection of greed.
That's humanity for you ...

Whatever
Potato, of course.
What do you mean, "of course"? I guessed the opposite.
Which neatly illustrates the whole point, doesn't it?
You would know that if you cared enough to look it up [ubuntu.com]
Yeah, and most people don't want to do that, ignoramus. That's the point. You're wasting my fucking time with this nonsense.
