You must be one of us USAians. All other countries I have visited or lived in had no or very limited commercials during the olympics. Ah well, i guess it pays for the fireworks, community cleanups and enormous kickbacks to insanely wealthy sponsors. So I guess that there is no reason to be cynical here...cough cough.

Should I go on? Not to mention that only shutting off the server and only shutting off the front end application is like someone giving out cheat sheets to a test and the instructor later telling everyone not to use them.
But I'm sure that the Einstein-like geneouses in the RIAA/MPAA are on top of the situation. Don't worry folks.
Coming soon: No longer will you have to suffer from out awesome green graphic of death! It will become customisable! How about orange! Yellow? Avaliable in a week, the classics! Pure blue screen of death(tm). Now doesn't that bring back memories! Try to resist your nostalgic impulses, because we also have the newer WinNT Screen of Blue and While letters! (tm) Oh, those were the days, when you could try to decipher those cryptic codes and such. You are worried about costs! Don't be! With our new "WeAreWatchingYou24HoursADayEvenWhileYouCrap" technology youi can rent these on an hourly basis, and we will even have a hired goon come to your house and remove them after you have stopped payments! Did we say hired goon? We meant Nice Friendly Mr Happy Guy! Yay!
How do I make that concept accessible and interesting to 40,000 citizens?"
To make it accessable to 40 thou. people you just have to explain what slashdot posters continually write....show the cost effectiveness, productivity and the avaliability. Dont Make this a major leg of your platform though. To make this concept accessable is one thing, making it interesting to 40,000 citizens? is another...one that is probabily not easily done. Still, letting everyone know that you have a leaning to Open Source is not a bad thing as long as you explain those advantages that everyone is always talking about.
Just don't let it stand in the way of other duties. Your job is to let the people make decisions for themselves, remember. You should just inform them of the facts and hope that the citizens will see things your way. Good luck.
I am going to put my Karma on the line to say this, but what the hell.
How is this a troll?
He interpreted the phrase correctly and pointed out the error without being obnoxious or adding any slashdot post flames.
Sure i didnt exactly crap my pants laughing when reading this, but the poster was not so damn cynical to be labled a troll.
I just dont get it.
(Hey AC, Shut up, would you)
The point of my post was to say that there IS NO LINE. It is up to us, the citizens, to define how much freedom encompasses. Not to sound dramatic, but it is a continual battle to mold how society thinks about freedom and restrictions.
Nothing is absolute as you make it out to be. It is simple and easy to say: freedom is good, Limits are bad, but it is a much more complicated issue that to figure out the balance between extremes.
And of course its never perfect.
Nothing is. And it is a great shame that there has to be errors in the justice system, based on errors in humans. And yes, of course you have some valid arguements. But do you think that giving everyone infinite freedoms will stop unjust actions?
Think about it.
I think most people here are trying to attach themselves to popular catch phrases and not see the real point.
You cannot walk around yelling "freedom at any cost!", because freedom is just part of the balance that makes our society what it is.
You obviously cannot give everyone all the freedoms in the world just because our culture tells us that freedom is all important. It has a place in society, like justice, restraint and safety.
If you truely believed that you cannot sacrifice ANY freedoms for safety; freedom to own tanks, freedom to spray bullets at Dubaya, freedom to fart in other peoples food, I think it would ROCK! But thats not the point. Society would end as we know it.
As for sayings, recognise this one?
A person's individual freedom to swing his arm extends only so far as the next person's nose.
It is for all of us as a collective society to determine where the next persons nose is.
So, even as importand as freedoms are (and BTW, I disagree with the Judges decision, too much freedoms are at risk, but thats IMHO), we can not go ballying around (HA! I just said ballying!) claiming that freedoms are the end all in everything.
There can always be too much of something, no matter how good it is.
OK well tumbleweed put this in your ass and smoke it.
I patented YOUR FACE!
I not only patented the patenting process but I also patented the patent process and the patent for patenting patent is patent pending. Patenting the Patent pending patenting process is pathologically pathetic so ill leave that up to the RIAA. Permitting a patent pending processing pricky pears and a peter piper picking pickled patented pickled peppers patent patent patent patent patent......
If you are now desensitized to all meaning of that word you know how I feel after all those damn patending decisions. When will the madness end?
And not to be a flame, but is it really that important? What exactly is the real implications of this besides the obvious??

This sounds really similar to those spam emails I was talking about earlier!
Spam is the only mail I get...makes me feel part of something greater than I.
Doorstop?
Actually, its www.redcross.org if you are really interested.
No.
No you shouldn't.
I must admit some of the jokes were damn lame...BUT
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT GLIDE!!!
You just cant put a price on something like that!
Ford. Not Mercedes.
Bush would want us to buy American.
Preferably one that leaves gas trails along the interstate and runs over cub scouts without spilling the drivers Irish coffee.

Remember NT 4 SP 6? [Shivver] I don't want MS "self-healing" my machine!
I'm sorry, but I am not aware of the problem in NT4SP6. Could someone fill me in here?

Hey! Shut up! Thats me! (The broke dork)
My girlfriend proposed a 5$ cap on all (total) items purchased this valentines day
But if you are the guy I dont recommend proposing that 5$ cap on the holiday. Might be injurious to your health.

I will take the karma hit to say: That is pretty damn funny. Doesn't deserve the flamebait mod.
Is THIS it?
What is a CLM?
Excuse my ignorance. Some sort of post-programming incompatability issue?

Decide for yourself
The MTV article says that NSYNC asked for the part; an article in a UK TABLOID says Lucas asked them.
