I was the only kid in my family of 5 kids who sucked their thumb. I was also the only kid in the family of 5 kids who didn't have braces. Every new dentist I go to asks me when I got my braces off.
Current voting software frequently "rotates" candidate names so that the "last" candidate listed varies from one ballot to another. You cannot assume you will be the last name listed even if your name falls last, alphabetically.
they are inmates so considering that being locked up has already been deemed acceptable based on what they've done, don't be thinking they deserve the same rights as an inmate as you and i do on the outside
I am SO sorry! I didn't realize that rules against torture, forced self-incrimination, execution of a person without due process, etc...all that stuff goes out the window after you're a prisoner!
You must be an attorney to be so smart about constitutional law!!!
No...this one is the fault of Bloody Stupid Johnson. The entire Wizard's Guild has been too busy dealing with the "Modo Tranmogrification Incident" to comment.
Cats do not eat vomit. Dogs do, but not cats. Cats merely produce large quantities of it (helpfully heading for the nearest rug whenever the mood is upon them.)
That's right! Google should continue to support outdated releases just like Microsoft does! After all...you don't see Microsoft whining about having to produce patches for Win95, do you?
The question should not be a choice between public transportation and owning your own vehicle.
Someone needs to detatch the passenger portion of the vehicle from the engine.
We like our personal space, and we want to be able to leave our belongings "in the car" while we're shopping or while we are at work.
But most people no longer care about the engine. It's just another black box they have to maintain.
Why can't the two be separated, in the same way that semi tractors have evolved from single component machines (engine firmly attached to the cargo carrying space) to dual-component machines, where any tractor can haul any trailer?
5 minutes before I leave the house, I call for a ride. I wander out to my driveway and get into my vehicle, an unpowered compartment. I have the optional self-directed engine for my vehicle sitting in the garage still, but I only use it for off-grid use, and this trip's strictly on-grid.
A moment later the small equivalent of a semi trailer arrives and docks with my unpowered vehicle. I programmed my destination into the computer while waiting for it to appear (or perhaps it's autoprogrammed, as I always leave for work at this time?) and all I need to do is hit the appropriate button to confirm that I'm ready to go.
I hit the button and slide back into my seat, wishing I was still in bed. Meanwhile, the automated, driverless tractor hauls my vehicle and me to work. It involves a pair of transfers -- my first tractor transfers my vehicle to a string of others towed behind a larger & stronger tractor before I enter the highway (woohoo!!! gotta love the reserved traffic fast lane!), and then I'm given back to a smaller tractor as I leave the highway -- but that happens entirely without input from me.
Twenty minutes after settling into my vehicle I'm getting out of it. My engine-less "vehicle" is sitting in my office parking lot, and the tractor's undocking from it so it can go serve another customer.
While environmental catastrophe may have been widespread in geologic history, things are different now. When the sea level rose dramatically a million years ago, it didn't destroy trillions of dollars/euros/yuan worth of real estate.

Sure...I trust the FBI to tell the truth about their own wrongdoings. (Oh wait...maybe not.)
Parent made a blanket statement. I provided an example in which the blanket statement was incorrect.
Blanket statements are also not data.
but if you don't, don't.

Nice try...but try again.
It is common to see people inappropriately use "to" when they mean "too".
It is common to see people inappropriately use "it's" when they mean "its".
Common != Correct
Less "brilliant" and more "fail".

Just be sure to test the fuel cells using ONLY the German tests. Independent tests may show different results.
I'd be so slightly more impressed with your opinion if you were actually willing to sign your name to it rather than posting as an Anonymous Coward.
The "coward" has never been so appropriate.

"Constitutional rights? Bah! Who needs 'em!" seems to be the watchword of the new millenium.

Read the book "Earth" to see that David Brin predicted that ubiquitous cameras would have a major effect on society.
...we can trust them not to abuse this. Right?

In other words, "Get off my lawn!"
Any chance you could send me an ounce of whatever you're smoking? That's gotta be some good stuff.
Commander Taco, can we get a -1 RACIST mod on Slash Dot?
CmdrTaco hasn't worked on Slashdot for a long time, I thought?

Should've done it years ago.
Can you tell me why you are not brave enough to post such nonsense under a real account?
"Coward" applies in your case. Along with a number of other adjectives I won't add for fear of young children seeing them...
Lame. I prefer the Jewish message...
Perhaps we should just be nice to people because it's the right thing to do, rather than for fear of the repercussions of doing otherwise????
Just sayin'...
It's Linux. If you need it, build it.
Republicans are the lesser of two evils only when it is republicans who define "evil".
