Slashdot requires you to wait between each successful posting of a comment to allow everyone a fair chance at posting a comment. Er...no. Slashdot requires you to wait between each "successful" posting of a comment because some shit for brains trolls were posting thousands of spam comments to articles. That has nothing to do with giving everyone a "fair chance". It's simply a method (a very shoddy method) to stop crap-flooding.

Waiting over a minute to post a comment is just plain dumb. Make it 20 seconds/.

Yes, I am behind a firewall, 4 of them running in HA mode, but what the hell does that have to do with anything? No proxy, no back button. The problem persists because it's a hacked-together retard solution to a problem that never should have occured in the first place.
I served. I was there. I saw it. Why the hell do you think there are so many check cashing scam places near every frigging base?
Yeah, so you went out and looked at the pay scale, but didn't bother take into account the fact that you have to pay for uniform upkeep, you have to pay taxes, you might want to get something besides chowhall food every now and then, and if you want to have a vehicle, you have to pay for that as well.
Almost every single enlisted man I knew who was married was on food stamps.
Some of the single guys were fine, but to say they have a bunch of gadgets and can afford stuff is blatantly wrong and typically said by someone who has no effing idea what they're talking about.
"I do not know if you support or do not support this bill but asspeaker you might want consider stopping this nonsense before more of the American people give up on the government's ability for rational thought."
Then I misinterpreted what you meant to say. My bad.
Anyway, you're right. The system is broken. Those who manage to claw their way into political power seemingly do everything they can to remain there. The process itself is flawed and our current two party system needs repair something fierce.
Slowdown cowboy! it's been a good 90 seconds since you last posted. That's not nearly long enough of a wait!
Seriously. How many failed bills get shoved through as a rider on a more important bill (see the "stimulus" package for an example) because our elected officials are afraid to veto an otherwise solid bill with utter B.S. attached to it because they're afraid it would kill their career?
There's too many examples to count of crap like this happening. It would be refreshing, to say the least. And it might remove some of the internal politicking from the process. (Vote for my bill and I'll let you attach your completely unrelated failed bill to it as a rider)
Dude, been there, done that, except for the getting fired part.
Had a guy go off one time on the phone about Clinton's "cigar" and "I didn't have sexual relations" thing when I was on the phone with him. He asked me my opinion and I said I didn't really care, as his getting (or not getting) some nookie didn't have anything to do with the state of the country. He got really irritated that I thought that (should have said I have no opinion, in hindsight) and then started lambasting democrats, Clinton, etc, complete with f-bombs and all that. I just hung up on him. Not because I'm a Clinton apologist, but because I didn't care.
When they asked me about it, I said I accidentally hit the release button on my headset. They wanted to punish me for pissing off the customer, but since they couldn't prove the hangup was intentional, they couldn't. Win-win. I got to hang up on a butthead and received no punishment for it. (I quit that company not long after that):)

It's a shame the thieving cunts don't realise that with most of the App Store stuff they pirate that it's usually only a one man band behind it.
What's the cutoff before it becomes okay for people to pirate?
10 people company? 40 people?
Piracy sucks all the way around, not just for the little guy.
man, corporations oops, I mean politicians are really pushing this BS aren't they?
Bad Summary? This...is...SLASHDOT!

Rant over.
er, no. just replace butterfly with mouse fart and you get the same thing.
farting mouse, PM with heartburn, Oh Canada! and bad tribal tattoos in Mozambique.
So, if a mouse farting in Mozambique causes the Prime Minister of Canada to have heartburn, what will seeding clouds do?
The hell I am exaggerating.

Good day.
LOL. Yeah right. Have you looked at the enlisted pay scale lately?
When I went into the Corps in 93, I made more the summer before going in than I did my entire first year in.
The American enlisted fighting man gets paid exactly jack and shit until they have 5+ years in.
(now, all that said, sure, it's not impossible to save up money for a few months to buy an ipod or whatever, but most don't)
Back in my day, we had to IMAGINE our porn.
And we liked it.
Dang kids with your fancy electricity and your indoor plumbing.
"Your wife". RIIIIGHT.
Get back in the cage, Erotica-boy!
(kidding, kidding.)

Cowboy Neal has a Kindle.
Go ahead and erase THAT mental image.
Dude, it's a step in the right direction and you're irritated at them for it?
People have been screaming about this for literally YEARS and when something positive is initiated, they still get blasted for it.
Sooner or later someone will make a highly disturbing R rated movie with bunnies who fart rainbows and you'll eat those words.
(Don LaFontaine):
In a world where evil stomps good like God at a Dawkin's speech, cute little bunnies fight to protect the innocent.
Action!
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Sniff my gas if you want to live.
Comedy!
Tom Cruise: hehehehehe
Drama!
Oprah Winfrey: Girlfriend, you got gas!
More comedy!
Bruce Campbell: Good, bad, I'm the bunny with gas.
Irresponsible casting:
Rosie Perez: I'll take bodily functions that start with the letter F, Alex.
More gratuitous action!
Arnold Schwarzenegger again: We've got to get out of heah! Go! now! Get to the CHOPPA!
More head-scratching casting!
Keanu Reeves: Dude! Wait...what?
Coming soon to a theater near you, United Artists presents: Little Bunny Poot-Poot
This time, it's personal.
Rated R. Film contains scenes depicting flatulence, dutch ovens, donkey punches, and Nascar.
Fantastic. You just made my day.
Hey, it's a Friday, not like it takes much!
thank you for proving his point.
*sigh*
I wish people would just leave each other alone.
"I do not know if you support or do not support this bill but asspeaker you might want consider stopping this nonsense before more of the American people give up on the government's ability for rational thought."
Dude, asspeaker? LOL.
"but asspeaker"
Please tell me you actually sent it in that way.
One can only hope they ruminate on it again and change their mind.
Then I misinterpreted what you meant to say. My bad.

You're right, we shouldn't have increased accountability.
...then I'm all for it.
Clarity is a good thing in government.
Yeah, pretty much. You got a problem with that?
Good, cause I really don't care if you do or not. I shouldn't have been put in that situation in the first place.
I only hope someday you get knocked off your high horse there and the fall hurts.

people also don't enter into contracts to receive services all the time, what makes this any different?
See what I did there? ;P
Doesn't that opinion bother you?
Oh, not everyone is doing it, so it's okay.
Not really a fan of that mentality. I understand where he/she's coming from, but still.
