I think I agree with you, but what if you have a degree in computer science? Is your title "Developer with a degree in Computer Science?" I don't think I could really call myself a computer scientist with a straight face, yet that is my degree.
Good reminder. I don't think people remember that anymore. When they didn't find any then the Bush administration suddenly found an interest in human rights or claiming to be champions of the oppressed or whatever other excuse for invasion they could muster up. Except the fact that Bush made us known as a torturing state made that kind of laughable.
Not really. We see real proselytizing from religious people on a constant basis (some bordering on mania) and yet when an atheist dares to speak up suddenly they're the ones accused of being "shrill" or "proselytizing."
You must not be a U.S. citizen. The U.S. has laws against discriminatory practices. If you don't want to hang around certain types of people on your own time that is fine. The workplace is another matter entirely.
It may be last century's tech, but it's more rugged, less expensive and you don't have to worry about getting dirt and dust on the sensor. There Is nothing like digital for convenience, but old school film cameras were great, too.
I would also propose that if anyone gets a notice of a $35 fine that they send the ISP a similar letter that states not only are they not paying it but that that they're also sending $35 to the EFF. And really do it.
Yep. But try this one on: Your freedom to fly your helicopter ends at continually disturbing my peace.
I don't advocate pointing lasers at aircraft, but I sure think helicopter pilots who fly low at night are a bunch of assholes. Even the police helicopters. I think they are over used. I'm sure for the price of a helicopter, its maintenance and its pilot you could get a few more policemen the ground.
This is a great post not only for this topic, but also for the fact that it pertains so well to so many other "discussions" seen here on Slashdot. And it was probably modded down by the very type of person that this post is about.

Popplers!
Apparently you're just a normal American.
Mebi. Mebi not.

Make your hand smell bad, I guess.

Or in other words, old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill.
On another note, it's not necessarily about who's productive. It's about who is perceived as being productive.
I don't think sarcasm counts as trolling.

"been using these religiously since 2005"
What, like a substitute for a rosary or something?
Yeah, but they go through batteries like crazy.
You mean like what they use for MRIs?

The difference is that cattle don't have a sense of taste even though they may taste good.
"preying on retards has always been profitable."
Is that how Microsoft initially came to dominate?

Yep. 99 percent of corporations give the rest a bad name.
No. That's the part that doesn't matter.
"Four years too late, I would think."
Therefore still timely.

Maybe. But you'll know it's time to tune out permanently if they start talking about how the rover "has electrolytes."
Well, no kIdding. If you're going to buy all three it's going to get pricey.
