Actually, the Romans had their asses handed to them by the Picts. Modern Scots are Irish bastards who invaded Scotland and killed off the Pict muthas.
BTW, don't forget about the way Canadian troops from Halifax, Nova Scotia (aka "Brits") burned down the White House in 1812. We 0wn3d Yankistan then and we could do it again if they ever get stupid enough to try to mug us.:)
The high quality trailer is already available for download. It seems as though Lucas has had to switch actors, though. Of course, that can only be a good thing.:)
NT4's defining characteristic was the switch away from an interface that resembled Windows 3.x to one that resembles Windows 95. It came out in July 1996.
Actually, I think that "free as in honest" is the part that's keeping people away from warez. There's a stigma attached to violating the wishes of other people. Also, "free as in priceless quality" is another important aspect. Software that is coded with love tends to be far better than software that is coded for a paycheque.
Possession of child pr0nography is illegal in the US. I think that's moderately reasonable.
Hate speech isn't all that hard to define either. Are you calling for the subjugation or extermination of a group of humans? Then you are making "hate speech". Not the best euphemism, but not all that far off the mark either.
Would China in a bid to destablize the US leadership tell North Korea to sell weapons to Terrorists to be used in the US so China could finally make it's move for Taiwan?
If China wanted chaos in the US, I think it would be easier for China to just dump all the US dollars they've been buying up to keep the US afloat.
You are a hippie idiot. Any company is a company to make MONEY, not to serve some general good. Guess what, even Kaiser and Cancer treatment places are there to MAKE MONEY, not for any other purpose. Maybe the people working there do so out of the "kindness of their heart," but that is not the intent of the organization as a whole. Same with Google. Same with Slashdot. And same with anything else.
Yes, but is the company in control or are the people in control? The moment companies start tossing people around, it's time to smash them. Capitalism is a sickening religion and we must always be ready to plunge an obsidian knife into its black heart.
But this makes my life easier because I can instantly delete a second item instead of following links upon links to get a new deletion page.
Or, if I deleted the wrong item, I can go back and look up its name.
I find the back button super-handy on my University Course Selection page and on my Online Banking Page. Say, I look at my chequing account. In Opera, I hit back, and look at my savings account next. OTOH, in Firefox, I'd go back, be told that the page has expired, go forward, be told that that page has also expired, reload, be redirected somewhere I didn't want to go, find the main page, and only then be able to look at the savings account.
On the University site, I can view my a full-screen copy of my transcript and then go back to the main navigation by waving my mouse left twice instead of hunting for links and waiting for loading.
The back button is useful because web applications are designed by idiots who hide navigation links and direct you to wrong pages.
More, importantly, when will Gimp and Photoshop abandon their useless right-click crap and just do the sensible Paint Shop Pro thing of reversing the Foreground/Background colours of the command when it's issued with the right mouse button?
If an indicator - Low Oil, Anti-Lock Engaged, whatever -- lights up in my Buick, oftentimes it will go away permanently if I turn the car off and then back on.
Take that back, young man. My icons are not too damn big! Wash your mouth out with soap!
You disgust me.
(Actually, I've switched to ones a quarter of the size since then. Also, I got myself a nice Debian laptop, but it's not as customized as the XP box.^-^)
I think the US needs a Constitutional Amendment that defines gravity as being exclusively for the purpose of making apples fall to the ground. Any other use of gravity, such as being an obstacle in the repair of the Hubble Space Telescope, is against the intentions of the founders.
It's called natural selection. Culling the weak (be it intellectual or physical) is NOT a bad thing.
You are an idiot. You don't know what "natural selection" is, your definition of "weak" is confused and vague, and you couldn't differentiate between learned and innate behaviour if it bit you in the ass.
You are also assuming that:
- the populace would be 100% against the government
- no three-way rebellions
- there'll be one rifle per head rather than ten rifles per head in one tenth of the cases and zero rifles per head in nine tenths of the cases
UPN will replace Enterprise with a crappier show that will have crappy writing and crappy ratings.
Then, in typical Corporate American mode, they will advertise the hell out of it because they think advertising matters more than quality. And, these days, it does.

Or a banking industry job. Not that I would know. I am working very, very hard right now. I should be given a raise for the undue exertion.
If you conservative elitists don't like it, start your own. DIY is a good thing.

Why should anyone take away our control when it was our R&D, our money that spnosored the internet in the first place?
Because you can't own ideas that you've shared with others.
IzArc opens the whole bunch and can replace both the WinZip and the 7-Zip utilities.

I would say, "I am an alumnae."
Are you sure it's "-ae" rather than "-a"?

He invented it in 1980 and implemented it in 1991. Uh huh.*nod*

My guideline: if it involves the internet intruding on daily life, it doesn't qualify for "way back when"-type phrases.
You old dinosaurs have it too good. We should be executing archaic 30-year-old scum like you, not listening to your geriatric blather on Slashdot.
2 years ago is a long time, dammit. It's 10% of my life. Old folk like you with one foot in the grave a skewing the statistics.

My natural selection includes altruism.

How on earth do you "force [a] show into people"?
