Reaper was so much better back in the 90's when it was Brimstone. Peter Horton and John Glover where perfectly cast and the premise and plots were so much better. Shame they killed it. But I'll be stunned if Reaper lasts as long.
I would have expected more from Kevin Smith, honestly.
Weren't you talking about your kid being on a school bus? I know everyone thinks their child is gifted but dude, seriously, something doesn't compute there.
Please keep your children the hell away from everyone else. You obviously haven't taught them dick about the world and their ignorance is dangerous. Have you taught them how to safely use a knife? (Every Cub Scout is taught this)About firearm safety? (I was taught at 10) Basic self defence? First aid? Hell my neighbor's kids (10 and 12) have each been taking martial arts since 3. They might be on the bus with your kid. And if you kid's unbalanced, ignorant mind decides its a good idea to immitate something he saw on a cartoon on TV on one of those kids, he's gonna get himself hurt. You are a miseable excuse for a parent.

Any intrusion on personal privacy is proportionate to the benefits that are gained.
Fair enough, then EVERY SINGLE PERSON employed by the government or in any political capacity should have their lives made completely transparent to the populace. The benefit to the public of being able to see EXACTLY what their "public servants" are doing every moment of the day and hold them accountable is huge should correct all the scandalous issues of those cretins in a matter of weeks.
Seriously, whats the difference between taking a photograph and making a detailed illustration? I am fully capable of either, and marginally better at illustration. Or what of a painter with a tripod easel?
Having helped install some of the new fiber/CAT-5E networks in schools like Lombard Middle in Baltimore, I have to question the goal here. We built a basically state of the art network and there isn't ANYTHING in the building really worth hooking up to it, including the administrative machines.
What is the point of using PCs for grade school kids? I don't understand the reasoning.

"I disagree. I know a lot of people who don't even take their available 14 days/year of vacation, even though they're not at any risk of being fired if they did.
I have NEVER met such a person in 20 years in the workforce.
Actually, very few people in my line of work are at risk of being fired. On the contrary, people are motivated by wanting promotions and to get ahead of the next guy. If you gave everyone 4 weeks of vacation, they probably wouldn't see it as an opportunity to take more vacation, but as an opportunity to work more hours than other people, and thereby get promoted more quickly. Or if you're paid hourly, get more overtime.
What line of work? Sounds unpleasant if everyone's just interested in clawing their way over the backs of their coworkers.
And we're not talking about wage slavery here either; the people I know who chronically give up their vacations aren't scraping by to make rent, they're trying to get promoted so they can get a better apartment, a nicer car, a more expensive suit, etc.
Ah ok, you all are the dickheads who nearly crash into me on a daily basis because you think your $50000 car is an office and spend more time on your Blackberry than paying attention to driving. Apartment? Car? Suit? Superficial much?
I think that people give up vacation much more readily because they want to get ahead, than because they're afraid of losing their jobs. You'd probably have grounds for wrongful termination if you got fired for taking your allowed vacation (2 weeks), yet most people don't even take that. Why? It's not because they want to stay in their current jobs, it's because they want to get more, and given the choice between vacation now, and the chance at making more money later, people take the shot at promotion. It's not fear, it's a desire for betterment (aka greed; your choice of terms).
You must be joking. The primary reason that I'll be leaving my job is lack of vacation time. I have other things to do with MY life than fill someone else's bank account.
What I do think would be popular here would be the ability to take your vacation and sick time as cash. If you required companies to give employees their unused vacation time at the end of the year, I'd bet that you'd see the amount of vacation go down even further as people chose cash over leisure time. In Europe, where they effectively have that option already, it's less popular. Obviously, there are differing values at work."
Would it be OK if they made cases for things besides mp3 players? Because if you check their site it seems they only make covers for laptops. So I'm thinking the iPod wasn't a consideration in their brand, their focus appears to be laptops.

Can some one find the British legal responce that essentially equates to telling the other party to "Fuck off" in so many words?
Why on earth there is no American equivalent is beyond me.
"insulted the intelligence of the Jury"
How many Slashdotters would consider a jury made up of folks who've never been on the internet a jury of their peers?
Yes I certainly insist upon training snipers with a game that doesn't even have a prone position.

Where you go in public isn't private to begin with. It's PUBLIC, get it? That information is already out there for everyone to see.
Then make it available to everyone. I've no problem with it if access is open to every member of the public. Everyone on even ground.
I'd pay to see that in live action....
Personally I can't wait for their entry into bathroom fixtures with the iShit toilet.
i + "term" is just as ridiculous as e + "term"

What about something to keep those damn kids off my lawn?
So where do I file to declare that Jack Thompson is a pulbic nuisance?
Where's Horatio Cane, prolly staring off at nothing as usual....
Can't they bring some sort of motion to have a judge who actually understands technology preside over the case?

This I can agree with.
Are they performing the albums in their entirety at live performances?
Or selling singles/releasing singles to radio?
Seems they are defeating their own argument.
