At least get something that requires you be physically present, or that has national security implications.
Ha ha so true! Kids listen! Hell, 99 out of 100 Indians and Chinese have degrees from Photoshop University anyway. But national security is something where you can't go wrong being a natural-born American. You can't be replaced! Just get in to the military at 18 so you have no previous record, get a clearance while there, and get out and into the industry. Seriously.
Uh...dude? You do know that the Model T is one of the most uncomfortable vehicles known to man? And by that I'm including a bus station bench as a "vehicle". (Some Slashdot users have never sat on a bus bench before - if this is you, then imagine sitting down to Starbucks for one of their incredibly cheap and yet so addictive coffee flavored drinks, and then finding that all the seats have had their cushions torn out, and the staff is utterly indifferent.)
PS the "new VW bug" had nothing, absolutely zippo to do with the VW Bug. They just reused the name because it had brand recognition, that's all. TNVWB is a boutique product totally the opposite of the "people's car".
Guess what they got at those "small, private New England colleges with tuition and expenses over 350% more" that you didn't get?
Oh, that's right, an education. Guess what all that extra money paid for...qualified professors perhaps? A university is not a job training center like ITT, and must never, ever be judged as such. If you're figuring out some sort of ROI, you're doing it wrong.
Can you imagine just how much goodwill this would cause? We'd be hailed the world over as harbingers of peace.
Nope! In many of the world's cultures, unrequested gifts are definitely signs of weakness. Nice try, from your smallminded, limited Western point of view.
PS you poor upper middle class American! You sorts are the most-oppressed, put-upon people in the entire world. Here, I got 30 Burmese orphans to knit you a sweater. Only, they didn't have any wool like they do for $7 down at Hobby Lobby, so they made you a sweater out of grass clippings and old abandoned wasp nests instead. Hope this makes you feel better about the whole "giving Stimulous (sic) money" to the military dictators of my country" thing.
Yeah, that's what my friend said, right before the judge wiped the smirk right off his face. Country of birth and country of residence are what the courts look at. Not some piece of paperwork from some crazy foreign government which just wants to steal our citizens anyway.
Big deal. Scratch your itch! Check out the code from CVS and contribute a fix. Don't just sit there and complain, do something about it! This is F/OSS for God's sake. How many people would contribute fixes to Microsoft's buggy audio drivers if they had half a chance?
"the best healthcare system in the world"? Which Americans are these, who are saying that? I haven't heard that at all. The news has been loud with contradictory information for quite a while now.
America does have the world's most advanced healthcare system, which isn't quite the same thing. But, please continue with the regularly-scheduled Ameriphobia.

OpenBSD 4.6 Released
·
· Score: 0
"Two Gigabytes ought to be enough for anybody!"
Seriously, this just reflects the conservativeness of OpenBSD, just like DOS back in the day. They move slowly, if at all. Users are expected to be grateful for improvements made years ago in other OSes.
Repeat to yourself until you understand: these people are UNEDUCATED. Just because you know how to unclog a drain doesn't mean you know anything about the correct way to vote. And as far as them not being morons, you must not know very many. The ones I know spit, eat shit food so they get heart disesase, make jokes about minorities and vote for Bush. Problem? Not that they're bad people, they're just stupid and uneducated because they went to trade school instead of a proper university.
Surprise buddy: if your kids weren't born in the UK, then they ain't British. I have a couple of American friends who were surprised as hell that their American passports didn't make any impression on the Chinese authorities. Kid was born in China, lives in China, has Chinese parent: he's Chinese. America is the same way, but worse because of the whole child custody divorce thing.
PS if you think someone's mind gets broadened by living in a UK university town, that's your affair. More likely the anal opening is getting broadened, if you get my drift.
Repeat to yourself until you understand: a university is not a job training center. Those are called "vocational colleges" and produce many of society's useful morons: plumbers, electricians, and other Bush-voter jobs that are held in universal scorn. I mean, how many societies have plumbers as heroes? Sane, sustainable societies treat education as an end in itself, an expansion of the mind that is a bargain at any price. If you're not educated, then you might just find yourself in that voter's booth pulling the wrong lever...
"intelligent environmentalist"? Is that one of those contradictory terms like military intelligence or jumbo shrimp? I was under the impression that it was utterly vital for us to buy as many solar cells as possible at inflated prices, in order to (make a profit) I mean, save the enviroment by advancing the science of solar cells. But, intelligence tells us we must automatically gainsay everything...I mean that's the heart of environmentalism after all.
Now I've seen everything. An anti-solar environmentalist! Just goes to show you, you could live for 99 years and still not experience all the world has to offer.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Useful idiot was Stalin's term for Westerners who sympathized with the Soviet system and wished to implement it in their own free countries. Stalin was well aware of the horrid nature of his regime, and found it baffling that anyone would actually want to perpetrate such a thing on their countrymen. The more you know...
Please explain to me, and the rest of the audience, why the FCC, an American organization full of Bu$h appointees, should have any say whatsoever in the regulation of the internet, an international network that long ago left the sponsorship of the U$ Government?
Yeah, this guy isn't exactly MIT material. From the article:
Melody tried to let the balloon go gently but as soon as the neck of the balloon left our grip it moved up at high speed. We lost control of the balloon and the parachute caught her jacket, causing two of the strings to detach. The payload bounced along the ground, jumped into the air and then thumped me in the back. One of the two digital cameras lost power at this point. HA HA HA hahaha...what a dope.
I retrieved the payload and found it was intact. It had just rolled over on top of the GPS antenna. Bad design, period.
the Canon A480 camera that survived the impact at launch was incorrectly set to ISO 1600 before launch. Go to all this trouble and yet not even set your camera right. What sort of grade would that get at MIT? Ah, I suppose this guy is just at a job factory anyway, not a real university. Good enough, eh? Everyone pat him on the back for doing something special, because we're all special.
You think Stalin or Temujin or Richard III or any leader throughout history has had any sort of scruples whatsoever about wasting any number of men, his own or otherwise, to achieve his goals? This is nothing new under the sun.
Great! Another victory for democracy, I mean twitter (is there really any difference these days?) Twitter users must be feeling especially proud today to be a part of something really special. I mean, how often do you get to say you're a user on a system of millions, and someone else uses that system to accomplish something? It's like back a few months ago, when twitter helped to overthrow the Iranian government. They were powerless to resist the constant flow of encouragement and support - at one point, a prominent blogger changed his web page to green in support of the protesters, an event widely cited as the tipping point in the revolution. Even now, revolutionary courts are handing down death sentences to the enemies of the people.
They wanted to use their shows as a reflection of our current world.
Hence, not science fiction. I freaking hate it when some insipid writer somewhere decides to take a perfectly good concept and make it his own personal moral crusade.
SF? Only a few of the TOS epsiodes were actual science fiction, the rest were drama. All remaining ST-named series were straight dramas. Tech was merely handwaved into existence when it was convenient to the plot. No science.
Meh, I never really liked that game. The theme felt too contrived and bolted on. The gameplay was dry. None of the blitzkrieg fun of the first and second ones. Good thing Wesnoth didn't copy it.

Oh, so you're one of THOSE people. Nice. Not suprised Activision has little or no regard for the opinions of your type.
I would like to know the last time one of those online petitions actually worked.

Is this funny? Or do people just chime in with whatever enters their head but is actually not funny? Serious question.

What, didn't you hear about the butt-bomb? Link. They damn near assassinated the head of the Saudi antiterror squad.
