  1. Re:Google, Books and the internet.. on Reining in Google · · Score: 1

    Excellently made points. Google has begun the walk toward asking forgiveness instead of permission, a line that certainly seems in opposition to their unofficial mantra. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

  2. Re:cool robot scultpture on Cory Doctorow's 'I, Robot' Posted · · Score: 2, Informative
    From BoingBoing:

    Today, Infinite Matrix magazine published the latest of these, a story called "I, Robot," which describes the police state that would have to obtain if you were going to have a world where there was only one kind of robot allowed and only one company was allowed to make it.

    Sure, there are your NRA card toting blue-collar farming types that support Dubya 100%, but they probably didn't receieve the best of education.

    This is what passes for Informative around here? receieve? With the standard that low, let's see how I can do.

    To recap, the standard to be a republican:

    • An NRA member
    • Blue-collar
    • Work on a farm
    • Support Dubya 100%
    • Uneducated
    • Mind controlled by radio

    Brilliant. So, that would make the liberal standard, what?

    • A NAMBLA member
    • A Hippie
    • Live in Manhattan
    • Looking for ways to make Clinton President again
    • Over-educated (hmm.. maybe it's Re-educated)
    • Mind controlled by television

    Not everyone fits your neat packaging of a republican, either. Look that up and you'll find the broader definition: an advocate of a republic (usually in opposition to a monarchy). Or, in my case, opposition to a nanny state.
