IT's always amazed me how many of those startups could never succeed in any way to begin with. Think.. selling overpriced silvery running shoes on the web. Think.... group buying... let's group and get huge rebate on a VCR the 20 of us, when your average supermarket is buying millions at a time and will certainly never get such a huge rebate... Think... let's make a portal, it will only be the 58454th on the market.
From the Amnesty International website, this pagesays:
9. Execution of the Innocent
As long as the death penalty is maintained, the risk of executing the innocent can never be eliminated.
Since 1973 more than 85 US prisoners have been released from death row after evidence emerged of their
innocence of the crimes for which they were sentenced to death. Some had come close to execution after
spending many years under sentence of death. Recurring features in their cases include prosecutorial or
police misconduct; the use of unreliable witness testimony, physical evidence, or confessions; and
inadequate defence representation. Other US prisoners have gone to their deaths despite serious doubts
over their guilt.
But yeah, Amnesty Intl is just a bunch of extremists, right?
Ok here's the difference: a person sentenced to death in Texas is much much more likely to be black than a newborn. It's not much more likely to actually be guilty however.
This one would require special hardware: if 1/2 click is the act of holding the button down, what about the part where the button is going down but has not reached its lowest position yet? An apparatus comprising a computer system and an input device ('mouse'), whose triggering device ('button') is sensitive to acceleration.
Even better? Fraction of a click shopping! This one requires an analog mouse button. The sale is triggered at a variabble amount of pressure.
I don't think a country where they had to introduce legislation to force radio stations to play music from local artists can be said to have any kind of "talent" at all.
Whereas a country which has to put "Parental Advisory" stickers on records and where radio stations have to censor "offensive" (= one occurence of 'fuck') songs to keep their license has a LOT to tell the world about freedom of speech and talent.
Bwaaah ah ah. No matter how outrageous your sarcasms are, there's always a chump to take it seriously.
So you want names, smartie? What about Air, Laurent Garnier? Just off the top of my head.
As for good stuff you'll never hear about besides here: Tricatel, worldwide specialists in lounge music, featuring Valérie Lemercier and Michel Houellebecq. 'course you won't get those on MTV. Eh eh eh. Oh oh oh. Oh well it's funny but you won't get it. Too bad.
Communism is Socialism, and Socialism is Communism. Look at the historical development of Socialist parties and that sort of thing. They are equivalent in policy and are equivalently wrong
The local socialist party has been ruling my country for most of the last 20 years, and I can tell you that this has nothing to do with communism.
I saw Nader on Politically Incorrect way before he was a candidate. He actually was in strong support of hat old woman who sued McDonalds because she spilled hot coffee on her own lap.
There's 2 sides to this story -- me too I thought, initially, that this suit was bogus. It turns out that it was'nt really that frivolous. The lady got REALLY badly burnt, think hospital, HR, surgery... not just inconvenienced. And I'm not going to cry for McDonald's...
That we're all helpless consumers who must be protected at all costs from big evil companies crap is just too extreme for me.
The part about the ecological and economic damage that socialist polcies did to Eastern Europe, yes, I believe.
What Nader advocated is, interestingly, seen as utopian and/or extremist in the US. The funny part is that it's just social democracy à l'european. Social democracy that's even supported by what you'd call 'conservative' parties (excluding the tories in UK which are really conservative and just as prostituted to big businesses like the demoblicans).
And yeah, right, we just live in soviet union. Silly troll.
... does'nt give you the right to whine. Bouh bouh you're a victim of the nasty anon. cowards. Hell, guess what, I browse at +1 and I don't see those. So stop whining, or fuck off.

So you're advocating security-through-obscurity, then? That's certainly contrary to prevailing slashdot wisdom.
"security through obscurity" actually has a meaning that you might want to look up. Hint: it has nothing to do with what you're commenting on.

Or it could be a spermatozoid from Gozilla, and were it to enter in contact with an ovula from Gozillette, we would have a major catastrophe in Tokyo!

What I think I really want is Jesse Ventura (maybe in 2004?).
What, you mean, a former wrestler for president? Why not an actor while you're at it?
Anyway, Jesse has said really cool things about religions (they suck), and he has my support. Not that it matters, eh eh.

We are, without the protection of the law.
