for fear of them being exposed to crass and crude behavior
It's a breast, dude. A breast. Every woman has one. Or two. Maybe not Betty Ford, but whatever. There is nothing crass or crude about a breast, it's freakin' nature, for crying out loud. Some people are just too damned uptight. What exactly do you think you are "protecting" your children from, anyway?
I'm as against outsourcing software work to India and to workers willing to do the job for pennies as anyone, but at least get those folks some desk lamps or something.
The irony behind your comment is that vocals from "artists" such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilara (sp), etc, go through extreme re-engineering after recording (beyond the norm of compression, reverb, EQ, etc.) Once the audio is filtered through tools that re-pitch the parts that go off-key and time-stretch the bits that fall out of rhythm, you have an end result that really isn't all that far from a computer generated voice.
That's odd. I figured they'd want to enlist the support of musicians, not media trainwrecks. What's she going to do, keep getting nose jobs until the RIAA sees the error of its ways?
If one of your coworkers leaves his file cabinet unlocked and you want something out of it is that stealing??
Considering everything inside of that cabinet is owned by the company, not the coworker, it is not stealing. It might not be appropriate behavior between coworkers, but that person would simply be using company resources for company business.
Additionally, what exactly does your analogy have to do with leaving your house unlocked? You are so far apart in context that you are on different planets, let alone pages.
Waiting for a response from Taco (or any editor) is like waiting for a retarded kid to make it through the alphabet in the right order. Some things just ain't gonna happen in this lifetime.
And last I checked, Taco was still struggling around "g... h... i..." with Michael hot on his heels at "a...".
But since it's a neat gadget and a convienence, you'll don your shackles eagerly.
Shackles? You mean like your insipid religion? Who is really the slave, the man who gets off on goofy technology or the man who indentures himself to fairy tales and to the liars that perpetuate them?
You idiot geeks and your gadget fetish.
What a good, nice little Christian you truly are. You have me wanting a 'mark of the beast', if for no other reason than to clearly distinguish myself apart from people like you.
Sorry, I realized that my vague mention of boarding planes confused my point. I was referring to them entering the country, not boarding the planes used in the attacks. If their identities were no cause for alarm when they boarded the planes used in 9/11, their identity would doubtfully have prevented them from entering the country in the first place.
Slashdot Mirror
Damn. There's a great Monty Python reference there, but given the subject and the circumstances, I think I'm too frightened to say it.

I have never felt an impulse to chop it off or suggest that we need to spend some time apart.
It's especially tough when your hand is the one asking for time apart.
1) C++ (Because I can do everything in C)
That carries about as much weight as saying, "I don't care about women because I can do everything with my hand."
A half-baked OS designed by baked designers for consumers in all degrees of...
Kevin Bacon.

Hay, better them then some idiot out of no where right?
Wrong. Better would be no one. Nothing good can come from closing up any part of an otherwise open development system, no matter who holds the papers.
No, they only hire people with law degrees.
They'll probably get Courtney Love to join, too.

Rhinoplasty for indie rock!
I'm assuming you're kidding.
No way man, I'm protecting the rights of all indentured magnetic forces needlessly doomed to an existence of unnecessary data storage.
Come on people, where is your sympathy? Bring back the punchcard!
I'm assuming you're kidding.
Okay, I was kidding.
Maybe he was talking about all the wasted magnetism used to store that data on the disk.
lol, did you add me to your freak list thinking the AC that replied to you was me? well, it wasn't. freak. :P

Rolling Stone has evolved into a tool for corporate control.
So Jack White isn't really the 17th greatest guitarist in the world?
Don't hate the bass fish. Bass fish got soule.
My, how short our collective memories are...
I totally agree. I mean, how could you forget all of - shit, hold on real quick. Call coming in..

By that logic, France will probably greet his private jet with barrels of money.
Ah yes, the silent majority: a grown-up version of imaginary friends.
backing up your brain is a bit difficult right now.
Pshaw.
Get your own mark of the beast right here!
ROFL... you primative gimp.

That'll teach me to proof-read sober. =P
In light of that fact, exactly how would a fingerprint before they boarded the planes have prevented anything?
If some Wikkets are Weebles and some Weebles are Wobbles, some Wikkets are definitely Wobbles.
This statement is:
a) True
b) False
You two are arguing the semantics of a wise crack, didja know?
