    Just wait until MS joins the industry associations and starts putting its executives in the committees. It'll change real fast.

    They also noticed that the inmates of insane asylums masturbated openly and frequently, leading to the conclusion that masturbation leads to insanity.

  3. NY times? on Firm Pays 6.5 Million for Fax Spamming · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Anyone have a registration username/password? Evidently, the NY Times strategy has paid off, and major newspapers all require logins now. I'm aware of the NY Times Random Login Generator but I don't think it can be modified to keep up with every Tom, Dick, and Harry newspaper. Just think, slashdot encouraged it, with constant barrages of links on the front page.

    So, Batman can beat Superman the first time he tries, but Lex Luthor and Brainiac (two great minds) together can't do it, despite having the benefit of hundreds of experiences trying? I think Miller might have had a little prejudice for his hero on his side :)

    Ah, naive faith in the legal system...how refreshing.

    Good luck finding out who they are. Good luck finding out the correct address so you can serve them. Good luck getting a judgement, and even if you do have a judgement, good luck collecting even a single dollar from them.

    Note also that this process is rather arduous, requires several inconvenient trips through traffic to the bad part of town where the courthouse always is, and many hours on your own time performing research, looking up the law, etc. Skip tracers don't work for free, either.

    It's your time, and you have to carefully make decisions on how it's spent. Would you rather spend time with kids who are going to hate you in a few short years as soon as they start participating in youth culture, or a real education, the kind you can use every day for the rest of your life? New parents are fooling themselves that their children will be as loving throughout their lives as they are when they were three.

    Deal with it.

    Attitudes like mine are remarkably prevalent among the educated elite (thank you for noticing). You'd know if you ever spent any time in an institute of higher learning.

    I find it to be really odd to see such closed-mindedness and outright bigotry from such an "educated" person. Open your mind, and see things differently.

    Any redneck can be a successful family man. Not everyone can obtain a worthwhile classic liberal arts education. Calculus directly from Newton and Leibniz, for example.

    The people doing the family man stuff will snobbishly dismiss a liberal arts approach to education as being a waste of time or as some sort of pretense of learning that's not really there. Ignore them. Invest in knowledge, you'll thank me when the kids are grown and long-gone.

    Yeah, God forbid anyone should get an education and expect to actually use it in life. An education should be an expensive white elephant, unusable except for Sunday afternoon jaunts to the art house, rather like a 60s British sports car.

    But you'll be driven out of the classroom by the stinky, unwashed masses who are "educated" there. Half the reason for going to a major university is to surround yourself with literate people of good taste who appreciate the the higher things in life. How many art exhibitions, or protest marches can you get involved with at a local college? None. But hey, if you want to live at mom's place, eat Carls Jr. fast food, and grub with the oinking hicks for homework assignments, go for it.

    Actually, the storm sewer and sanitary sewers do not mix. The storm sewer is what these guys were tromping around in. It carries rainwater out to drainage canals and rivers. The sanitary sewer pipes the shit right out of your house, and carries it to treatment plants.

    Actually, from reading the article, the writer is not at all interested in telling a story, but rather talking about himself. He even pointed out that he owns a Kukri, and only the chosen few may carry such a sacred weapon. You can just see the guy envisioning accepting an award for this piece. I wouldn't have even finished the article if it didn't contain such lurid subject matter.

    Puerto Ricans **DON'T PAY TAX**

    That's right, as a Territory, they're exempt from income tax. Of course, their ignorant politicians would like nothing better than to mess up the U.S. flag, as well as introduce their constituents to the joys of income tax, in return for three insignificant seats in the U.S. Congress.

    Insignificant to everyone, of course, but the persons who would benefit from the office.
