I didn't smell like 2 week old dead fish. I just forgot to bathe for a couple of days while I was working on something.
Ok a month but I still smelled better than dead fish.
The only reason they fired me was because that bitch in the clerical refused to go out with me and got that restraining order. The cowards in management were afraid of getting sued and I think one of them was having an affair with her. Once I finish my manifesto they'll all be sorry they ever fired the smartest man who ever worked there!
They do that where I work and I fucking hate that. Our supervisors go around with this line about how they "expect us to top last years numbers" and my boss in particular gives you that long, thoughtful exhale followed by the head shake when you tell him you're not participating.
Fuck the United Way. It's inefficient to the point of being a scam. The only thing worse is the people who call my house every three months wanting me to donate to some kind of police officer charity fund. It's for the families of officers killed in the line of duty and obviously that's a good cause. I donate to another organization here in Houston that does the same thing so I don't deal with the people on the phone. It doesn't slow them down in the slightest however. I've actually explained to them why I wasn't going to donate, told them I wasn't interested, hung up on them, and then been called back by the same person who got rude about my hanging up on them. I wouldn't piss in those peoples mouths if their throats were on fire much less give them any money.
That's a very interesting point but I'd like to change the subject for a moment. I must ask you about the "Multi-Platform Tit". I'm intrigued by this idea and would like to know where I can learn more about them.
In the past I've spent a pretty penny on items such as this and if the Multi-Platform Tit lives up to the mental picture I'm seeing then you're sitting on a gold mine!
I think it's probably a bit past their wake up time actually. An argument could easily be made that the US is already a second rate nation whose residents continues to live a first rate life thanks to their rapidly eroding credit rating. It won't be long before reality comes calling.
None of you welcomed any potential future masters. You also all failed to claim anyones "base" and forgot to put "Profit!" in the last line of your post.
Based on all of the assembled evidence from the dawn of human existence (and the fossil record that preceeded it) I'd say the Internet has a better claim to being a "god-like entity" than some musty old Judeo-Christian made-up story "god" who supposedly did everything but who's existence cannot even be proven, much less measured and studied to prove or disprove any claim of god-like status.
That's just me though and I never believed any of that junk before the Internet existed.
You know someone is going to come along and save these posts for posterity. Two posters on Slashdot met, had completely different opinions about a sensative and emotionally charged issue, and then in a move that nobody saw coming behaved completely civilized to one another.
Isn't this supposed to be one of the signs of the end times?
I remember it well the first time I saw those two lonely USB ports on the back of a PC. I didn't know what they were and I don't think I ever plugged anything into either one of them on that system. I bet there were a ton of Windows 95 and 98 machines that hit the landfill with virgin USB ports that had never been penetrated. For years USB on the PC side was held back by lack of peripherals and a general lack of interest.
Interesting, we have the exact opposite opinion. I'd never buy anything manufactured in the Arab world (don't even go to the gasoline point, I don't own a car and can't do much to influence how they power the light rail I ride to work) for the exact same reasons. I just couldn't live with myself if I bought it.
I see your point but you have to take into account that what someone should do and what they will do sometimes bear no resemblence to one another.
You may feel this way about it and that may be the civilized approach but that just makes me think that you're not going to be nearly the sort of jackass who would draw this kind of attack to begin with. Seriously, to what extent would you go to anger another person online? Would you come back day after day to torment them and mock them or would you ignore them if they bothered you as you say they should do to you? See you're probably far too reasonable to really use as an example in something like this (pure speculation on my part).
If you were enough of an "arsehole" then I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect that if you can be found then someone will eventually tire of you, find you, and come stuff your head up your butt. It's just too easy today to run across and set off violent people. It has nothing to do with their rights. Sure they're technically wrong and they'll pay the price for their actions. It won't get you out of an ass kicking though and a significant number of people will still feel like you had it coming. Look how many people on this thread admit to a little glow of satisfaction and a belief that the victim had it coming.
We're using the word "blockbuster" and I really don't think that word conveys the original posters meaning. I know for an absolute fact that there were "blockbusters" prior to Jaws. Obviously Gone With The Wind was a blockbuster of a movie and it dated back to the 1930's. There have always been a few blockbusters in almost every year.
His comment about Jaws was more about how that movie was more than that. it was the first film I recall being almost like a ride. It was like the first of it's kind. Seeing it was less of a going to the movies experience and more like going on a roller coaster or walking into a haunted house. It was something of an event. Star Wars of course took this to a whole new level and in my opinion Die Hard did the same thing years later. Jaws was the first of it's kind though. It was the dawn of the "Action/Special Effects Era Blockbuster"
Yes, by all means spend another year in college just to enjoy "the experience".
Just don't ask me (parent) to pay for it. I'm all for 4 years if you can do it and I'm ok with 5 if he needs it. One extra year so he can make friends and memories to last him a lifetime? I don't think so. He can do that on his dime, not mine. This stuff ain't cheap.
I can see students getting together to buy them all for study purposes and then bundling them all together to either sell to people taking the class next semester or more than likely just sharing them all. Before long the professor is easily found on file sharing networks.
Along those same lines I have to say that after spending much of the last two decades abroad I can't shake the idea that the rest of the world is close behind America in choosing crap. To be precise they choose a rather amazing amount of American crap and they choose it even when they have better choices. In a sense the rest of the world, and particularly the parts of it that are most vocal in hating America doesn't hesitate to gorge on American culture even as they mock it.
Before I really looked at the rest of the world I thought we (meaning Americans of course since that's what I am) were in some fashion "above" everyone else. After seeing a reasonable amount of the world I don't feel that we're now somehow "below" the rest of you. I think we're more alike than anything.
Plus your explanation is incomplete. No, the (vast?) majority of slashdotters are not anti-patent. They are in fact "multi-positioned" on the question of patents with a myraid of positions both pro and con depending on the company that's doing the patenting, litigating, FUD'ing, or donating. Trying to determine how the majority of slashdotters feel about any given patent is a mystery at best and will make your head explode in a worst case scenario.
If you had a lower number you would already know that.
Now some "300,000 series" slashdotter is going to come along and mock me next. Just you wait and see.
I don't think we can afford to just assume that they were looking for the lyrics to an REM song. I think we have to assume they were trying to aquire or build WMD's and I think that means we have to destroy their entire country. They might have even been trying to download copyrighted material. The only way to be sure is to take em' out.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilence. The price of not being "us" is apparently that odd invasion every now and again.
In the immortal words of George W. Bush; "Sucks to be YOU! HA HA HA HAHAHAA HAH HAH HA!"
Exactly! Star Trek is that dog turd in the yard that's got the hardened shell from sitting in the sun too long. It's nasty at this point but you just think you know how nasty it can be. If you go back and poke it with a stick you're going to be regretting it for a long time to come. Then you'll break the seal and release the world of nasty hidden within.
Unfortunately no matter how nasty that dog turd in the yard is there's always some dumb mutt that will eat it. That's what the unapologetic fanatical core of Trekkies has become. They're like that stupid dog on your street that eats shit. Nobody will let it near them for fear that it might try to lick them.
Exactly and these guys are getting themselves into a world of litigation by trying to break it. My client, known to many of you as GOD ALMIGHTY has retained the services of my firm to protect his substantial investment in your genetic code which I may add you merely licensed from him when you agreed to the EULA by leaving the womb.
I think you're completely correct. In some cases it's a good thing or at least it could be a good thing.
Just out of curiosity have you by any chance seen the clip "Fear of Girls" on Google Video? Those two guys would be perfect candidates for online schools.

Why do we call "pig" ham and "cow" beef? When we order chicken we just ask for chicken. It doesn't make sense.
Wait.....are you selling Penis Mightiers?
As long as the Firefox creator still trusts them I'll keep buying. As long as they don't cross that line I think the sky's the limit.
How does he feel about the PS3 by the way?

Stupid people destroy their own lives (and often those of others around them) and they find a way to do it no matter what they have access to.

Indeed. There's no denying the truth.
