"Dude! Office just ate the report for the stockholders and corrupted all my working copies! I've gotta get last year's copy from backups and hope neither God nor the SEC catch me! I'm gonna win for sure!"
Unless your company is playing The Game, which you just lost. And your only hope of regaining your standings is to mod me up. I think I'll take Insightful? That sounds good.
Yeah, but everybody you recruit via America's Army can already do that.

I've seen it, sure, but... I dunno. I've got no reason to think the guy's lying.
You want everybody's pay cut down to six whatever? I can do that for you in/ten minutes/. Guaranteed. You say you want it to happen, I make it happen.
You want everybody's pay cut down to six whatever, recalculating all employees as if they were paid on an hourly basis, reclassifying employees as appropriate, comply in full with all labor codes while I do so, maintain an escrow account with the difference between their real pay and their current pay, pay that out at some undetermined point in the future -- and have all of it work, perfectly, the first time and every time, taking full responsibility for every employee of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA?
Man says six months, I'm not telling you he's wrong.
They also had a device capable of telling you WHERE the Olympics would be held -- it's very elegant. You just have everyone who wants to host the Olympics bring a lot of gold to one place, and you place each person's amount of gold on the device. The device measures the relative merits of holding the Olympics at any particular place.
It's not as cut and dried as you say. You can't copyright the rules of a game, only your specific explanation of them.
There's probably infringing content, and I suppose they are trading on Hasbro's mark, but no, Hasbro doesn't own the platonic ideal of That Specific Word-Tile Game. What Hasbro owns is their description and presentation of that game, and various marks associated with it.

If you are a scientist, why are you opposed to people learning truthful facts? ID is a hypothesis
We're done here, I think?
Seriously, I think we're talking past each other. Creationism is the belief that a supernatural entity created the Earth -- or, varyingly, the Universe. Fine. Whatever. It's counterfactual, and it is a tool of the wicked used to control the weak, but it's not by itself an affront to science. Did God wind the watch of the Universe? If not, what did? Science isn't really ready to answer that one. Science isn't even sure it can.
Intelligent Design is an attempt to cloak Creationism in the trappings of science. It is wickedness; it uses logical fallacies, deceptions, and outright lies to promote its hidden agenda, and all who claim otherwise -- without exception -- are either stupid or lying. (I note you've made no such claim; I'm simply underscoring the problem.)
You want to say that some people think God created the Heavens and the Earth? That's a true statement, some people do, and this merits discussion. You want to say God created the Heavens and the Earth? Science disagrees, holding as it does a compelling theory concerning the creation of all things, and our schools are secular. You want to search and replace "God" with "Intelligent Designer", claim you're talking science, and try to sell me the same line they tried to sell the judge in Kitzmiller v. Dover? That's a problem.
But all you're saying is the first proposition -- that "some people think" -- and that's not a problem at all. You're just using "Intelligent Design" to mean that, and that's what set me on fire.
No, there's not. "ID" is lies, start to finish, a perversion of and an affront to science.
If you think there's a place for the idea that god -- specifically, your god -- created the Earth in my schools, you come right out and say it, just like that. You'll still be wrong, but you won't be lying.
Well -- when you get right down to it, the human genome itself is full of errors, sloppiness, and outright sabotage, so I can't really think of a better host for it.
I thought about that, and came to the conclusion that it's boilerplate text, there so that if they decide to ignore her recommendation for disbarment, the bill still applies.
If he never plans to practice law again -- and really, good luck with that -- he probably CAN skip paying it.
200km, 16% of the time? I guess that sounds sorta neat... except that 84% of the time, it's off by more than 200km. Now, we know that the earth's circumference is 40000km, and it follows that nobody can ever be more than 20000km from any location on Earth.
So 16% of the time, it's accurate to within one percent of the TOTAL RANGE OF ERROR. The other 84% of the time, you're on your own. I wonder if I could manage that kind of accuracy just by sampling colors, classifying them by terrain, and then just picking a likely spot at random.
They're fucked no matter what they do. There's *no way to win*. Jesus and all His angels couldn't solve this problem as written. There is no paper trail, so it *doesn't work*. We can have ourselves a nice session of Security Theater -- claim that pirate hats are the optimal shape to hold Sekrit Antennas -- but there's *no point*. The submitter is asking how to stop people from haxoring the vote *during the vote*. That the question was asked is commendable, but that's not the primary attack vector at all.
They're fucked no matter what they do. Got it? Got it memorized?
You argued the lesser point with the troll and missed the greater one.
Why does the legality of Revision3's hosted content matter?
Is MediaDefender an agent of the federal government, granted extra-legal powers by Congress to commit these otherwise-illegal acts? Are they chartered by a state government? Has their operation been nationalized by the military, or perhaps they possess a letter of marque and reprisal?
I can claim I don't want a million dollars, it doesn't make it true.
Generally, if you buy a domain, get mail and web services running on it, and write a bunch of content for your front page, you've got something to say that you want people to read.

It's worse than that. This isn't a distro, it's just a slap in the face to Gentoo -- and without any justification in the form of running code. They, in fact, are canvassing for your help to help cash the check their mouth wrote.
Now, I can't tell you whether or not Gentoo merits a slap in the face, but whether or not they're right doesn't have anything to do with that they've done.
I suppose I don't know a lot about the topic, but domestic aviation's more important to the US than to just about anybody else, innit? And the US airlines are busy melting down.
The question was "aviation", and not "domestic aviation", but I think domestic flights are where most miles are racked up yearly.
(hence Google's frenetic attempts to block a Microsoft takeover of Yahoo)
Citation needed. I don't know that statement's true -- I don't recall any heavy activity on Google's part. Certainly nothing I'd describe as "frenetic".
Consequently rape is "less wrong" than murder and deserves less serious punishment. Personally, I wouldn't necessarily object to the death penalty for rape in some cases.
That's my primary point of dissension. I see no reason to believe one is less wrong than the other. Both are completely unacceptable, and that's the end of it.

I look forward to the indictment, conviction, and imprisonment of the executives of their operation.
Failure to achieve these things will not reflect well on the fitness of the rulers to rule.
