Actually, if you've studied slavery from an African/American perspective, it's a, well informative education. Tribes in western Africa who had disputes with each other would battle and in some cases when members of the opposing tribe were caught, after the battle, they would be marched for days to remove them from the area. A "remove your enemy from the area so he can not fight you again easily" approach.
Where whites or European slave traders came in was that they offered to take these prisoners off the hands of the winning tribe, thereby making it easier to get rid of the enemy and not take too much effort to do it. I wonder if they would have used this "service" if they had known what would have happened to their opponents.
It's hard to view this topic without some serious hatred but if you do, you become able to understand the motivating factors behind the whole thing, who was responsible for what and why.
It really should be a snap on. I don't know how anyone can go to sleep with one of those on their face without the risk of suffocating. If he REALLY cared about us and our longevity, he'd switch to snap on beards.
Those seals are not radial! They exhibit bilateral symmetry!
Note: the above is a marine biology joke. If you have not majored in Marine Biology, please go back to college and complete enough courses until the above is funny in context.
I ran an open unsecured access point for several years for the purpose of allowing people free access.
It was not promoted. If people found it, they could use it. So would people who logged on without my permission be breaking a law? This seems counterintuitive and at least slightly stupid.
Yes, but the human eye is not linear in its response to color. We may not be able to see more than a million colors but the colors we are sensitive to are not all available in current displays.
What is ironic here is that T-Mobile's Magenta (RAL 4010 - visible here: http://www.e-paint.co.uk/RAL_Colourchart.asp ) doesn't look like the magenta in the RAL chart. It's obviously a different RGB value.

I don't understand you - are you supporting Mugabe or supporting other more honest and competent leaders like Pohamba or Nujoma?

And any time a Slashdot article title uses the word "Exposed", run.
Sorry to say that it's just not whites who are guilty of slavery. And there are parts of Africa that are working. I have seen one of them.
And in these parts that are working, good things can be done. See for yourself.

Didn't you learn anything in biology? They do grow back, just smaller. Just like when you lose your tail.

What's up with the damn beard?
Really. Troll me if you want but that thing is strange.
Oddly, before that, I majored in Computational Mathematics.
But I really only majored in one math. I can't handle more than one of them.

Honestly, WHY?
More seals = more helminth worm eggs in your sushi.
Mmmm. Intermediate parasite hosts. Mmmmmm.

Is accessing an open, unsecured, wireless access point actually accessing a computer?
Something to think about.

I could go on but it is Sunday and I need to head off to the camera range and try out my new digital film.
This means that we must outlaw photography.

Yeah. I make sure they go to a non Nigerian country.
I am putting together a charity to ship old computers to African schools.

You had one what?
More info please.
If so, any addition or subtraction procedure running on an abacus.
