Did you see that girl? Forget politics. I wonder how many people would use her private information to show up at her doorstep with a plate of hot grits. I mean, wow.
Granted, this is the guy who is proud of writing 40k LOC of useless code that we replaced with a 100 line perl module and doesn't even work because he never finished a working build system for it. I guess that explains a lot.
Except his continued employment at your company. I mean, really.
Not only are you lying, but you didn't RTFA. It all happened in front of a news TV crew, amd he reporter stated how controlled and polite he was. Plus, there were no "cohorts". You're not only a troll, but a stupid troll. And whoever modded you interesting has no business being a moderator. (Oh, sure, the reporter lied too, because big media is so antiBush. Spare me).
Listen, bud, you don't just waltz into slashdot to make long, sensible, gramatically correct posts. That's just not how we do things around here. We'll let it slide since you're just 16, but watch your step from now on, OK? I mean, not even a Microsoft bash in there! Where do you think you are?
(Seriously, great post. I have to say you certainly don't sound 16)
As a Mexican, I can vouch that all you said is right. Except that this particular mistake was perfectly solvable. "Masculino" and "Femenino" would have been the right words to use, and would have ofended noone. "Macho" and "Hembra" are not only offensive to some people, but awkward at best.
Wow. So all terrorists need to do is start using legislator's names as aliases. In no time, Congress will collapse (or laws will be changed). I'm only half joking, you know.
I think people should know US States... AND Canadian provinces. It's important parts of geography considering how big they are.
That's the kind of statement that makes the Ugly American stereotype grow. Yes, I know what you meant, but it still sounds ugly. Size is not that important when it comes to geography. Most European countries are very small, and still are important. Why, the Vatican is tiny; by your logic, we shouldn't be concerned by it. On the other hand, by your standards, you Americans should know where Chihuahua or Oaxaca are in Mexico. They're bigger than most of your states. I think everyone should know where other countries are, and the states of their own country. Of course, that's the bare minimum.
Not necesarily. The judge usually has some latitude, and it is perfectly possible that the license would be consideres as valid, and only a particular clause --or even sentence-- would be stricken. Anyway, my intent was merely to say that we cannot really know what parts of the GPL could be considered invalid. And yes, I do fear some PHJ could screw it.
On topic: I agree with you. Now, to the real reason of my post: Yor sig. I believe the reason is evolution. People who confuse "nose" with "noose" have a clear handicap. Darwin predicts they would dwindle and disappear. Have a nice day.
If I write a license that says: "you can distribute my copyrighted work if you dance the makossa twice a day", that's perfectly valid. Up to you to accept it or not.
But if your license said "you can distribute my copyrighted work unless you're a negro, jap or beaner", I'm pretty sure it could be considered invalid. I'm not sure what my point is... I guess it's simply that nothing is quite as simple as it seems.
Again (as you obviously haven't read the whole thread) I'm not saying torture works as an instrument of investigation. I'm saying it always breaks the prisoner. To be short, I was responding to this boneheaded statement from parent: Between acting out of spite and acting out of self-interest, spite almost always wins. That's why torture never works. Between not having them jab a spike into your balls, and making the jerk who wants to do that feel like he's bad at torture, you go with making the guy feel bad.
Now, with the proper context, tell me again how torture does not work. As for your ad hominem attack, I'll let it slide, since obviously you had no idea what you were talking about. Cheers.

I've been there. Exactly there. All I can say is I sympathize, and hope things turn out for the better (probably at another job).
Good luck, man.

Commercial speech != political speech!
You must be new here (this planet, I mean).

And for that matter, you guys don't exist when I close my eyes! Neener neener neener!
Would you stop blinking already? I'm sick and tired of fading in and out of existence. Thank you.
I resent that!
I'm, a natural blonde, you know...
Luckily, "Fisto" means "intercouse with a horse" in Amharic.
Oh wait...

BTW, my name is as WASP as it gets.
Would it, by any chance, be Fred?
Just a wild guess...

How can this fellow's opinion turn on a dime
Oh, it turned on a lot more than a dime, I can assure you.
or pair of nut-cracking rocks...
I'm a male, you insensitive clod.
After reading that phrase, I have a vague discomfort in my lower hemisphere. Hope you're happy.
And yet, he flubbed his ability check but good this time...
I think I speak for the rev matt, as well as for myself (I have an 8 month old boy) when I say: Screw you.
Did it run BSD?
Actually, you're right. In Spanish, we call him "El Hombre Araña". That's roughly "The Man Spider".
To anyone considering futher commentary, stop it already. You have no chance. You're tangling with the coolest, smartest, most talented, and most beautiful person in the world.
You have no chance to survive make your time.
That's GNU/Laleks, you insensitive clod!
