  1. Re:Potty mouth vs. murder on Three Years in Prison for Posting Hatespeak · · Score: 1
    Contrast with the reaction to five brutal murders, another five variously wounded, and a suicide:
    Several Amish interviewed by Reuters said they were sad but not angry and emphasized the need for forgiveness of gunman Charles Carl Roberts, who as a non-Amish person was what the locals refer to as "English." "It's just not the way we think. There is no sense in getting angry," said Henry Fisher, 62, a retired farmer with five grown children and 33 grandchildren who has lived all his life in the town some 60 miles (100 km) west of Philadelphia.
    Oh come on, if they had asked one of the "English" hanging around, he would have called to lynch the family of the killer. Especially when they are of the "I'm so Christian, Bush looks like the Devil" crowd.

    Lets see before 9/11, we had already experienced attacks by Al Qaeda (USS Cole). However, nothing was as large scale as 9/11.
    What kind of lame excuse is that? As if the attack on the Cole hadn't been wose enough as far as Americans go, the bombigs of the 1998 US embassy bombings proved Al Qaeda knew how to kill a couple of houndred people in one go.

    So which of Plate tectonics, Solar variations, Orbital variations, and Volcanism are the reason for the rise of temperatures in the last century?

    42 vineyards in England, [...]. It can hardly have been a threat to French wine production given that vast amounts of imported wine were available in England during that time.
    Well, it meant wine exports from France to England slumped and prices went down, that sure sounds like a threat to the economy.

    The costs of the kyoto treaty and the *lack of those costs* on one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world can be found in any article about the treaty.
    Maybe you should read some articles that care about the truth. Not only does the Kyoto Protocol force China to not increase CO2 production, China has actually decreased CO2 production. Why can't the USA do that? Because it is economically bancrupt?

    The whining of Americans that China might one day produce more CO2 then them (even if they have 4 times the populatiopn) is getting on my nerves.

    I wonder how long it'll be before capitalistic-minded individuals realise the substantial implications of this; they can make money selling boat cruises to the North Pole!
    They already do for some time, the difference is you don't need icebreakers anymore.

    Too bad fo Dell that I'm not a business, and are thus forced to buy a cheaper Mac.

    So name an older democracy? America is new as a country, but the other democracies that are around now just seem older because their countries weren't always democracies.

    Sorry, no contract is legally binding if you're not allowed to read it before purchasing.
    And since you can read it before, your whole argument is moot.
    ... a contract which has to be signed by an individual one way or another
    Wrong. Have you ever bought something in a shop without signing a contract? You think there was no contract involved?

    Because your design of a "laptop without a battery" has the "[computer] right behind the LCD display" is why Ives is a worldwide renown designer, and you're a bitter poster on Slashdot.

    Gee, it's soooo hard.
    Starting with Mac OS X 10.2, a panic is indicated by the multi-lingual alert shown in Figure 1. After restarting the system, a file called panic.log should be present in /Library/Logs . This file contains the same data as the panic dump on the screen.

    Yeah, it makes so much sense that almost everything they said was a lie, just not that they actually cracked anything. All because they did not want to anger Apple - anymore than using an Apple, saying Apple's are vulnerable too, saying they want to put out a cigaret in Apple users' eyes, talking about Apple smear campaigns, et bloody cetera.

    So, even if we imagine that all of the Apple 'Desktop' category would compete against the $1.5B server hardware spending on Linux, you'd still find that Apple has a long way to go.
    At least as long as we ignore actual sales numbers and average price of the units sold.
