What in the holy hell are you talking about? When did I say sex was evil? Did you read my comment? The entire point, other than telling you to fuck off, was that you and the rest of the ignorant yuppies that make these tired, worn out arguments about violence vs. sex have absolutely no understanding about what you are talking about. The moment you sniff a parent who would like to exercise their prerogative and right to decide when is the right time to teach their children about sex, you start yammering about violence on TV and decrying people who want to shield their young children from age inappropriate subject matter.
Your comment: "but Gawd forbid he should via the intertubings see a human or vulva or penis, or one sliding into the other"
What is wrong with you that you are so keen on introducing sex to young children? No one is talking about the "birds and the bees" conversation here, we are talking about age inappropriate material. You like showing porn to kids?
Your kid can watch mayhem and murder and war on TV 24x7, but Gawd forbid he should via the intertubings see a human or vulva or penis, or one sliding into the other . Better put a chastity belt on your little sprat, lest he uncover the horrible vileness of procreative plumbing lurking betwixt his legs.
For fucks sake, every single time on of these types of stories are posted, cretins like you come out of the sewer to bitch and moan about how people who want to shield their young elementary school children from the complex issue involving sexual relationships are idiots who think sex is evil and the devil's tool.
Fuck. You.
You may be one of those dick heads who think it's entirely appropriate to watch porn on a plane, but personally, I'd rather be the one to teach my children about sex instead of being confused by what you and the rest of the internet superheroes think it actually is.
LOL, prepare to be modded to troll here on slashdot. It's perfectly acceptable to make fun of the idiot hicks who believe in some space alien who created the universe, and just as equally acceptable that an exploding rock magically turned into a sentient species and a perfect ecosystem surrounding it.
You are assuming that Amazon does a better job than the OP. Money/size/fame doesn't make something reliable. Not saying that it's necessarily one way or another, but only morons assume things.
No, I find it absolutely wonderful that our military is broad and powerful enough to nearly 100% guarantee that our scientists and engineers have the time to spend on civilian pursuits like medical breakthroughs, discovering the far edges of our universe and creating sweet shit like velcro. It's pitiful that people like you think freedom costs nothing. A few hundred years ago, you'd be a shit shoveling peasant in some god forsaken hell hole. Look at you know though, you can follow the oust of Mubarak from Egypt from the comfort of your reddit bookmark.
Because keyboards and hard drives and ports don't cost anything. Why do you think they should be a primary cost in developing a computer? Why can't a screen be so much more expensive that it justifies 2x-3x the price? You know the touch screen market like the back of your hand? Just because you don't want to pay the current market price, that doesn't mean it's not justified.
Why does a McDonalds happy meal cost $5? Take $400 worth of happy meals and compress them into a block of crap and it will weight much more than a tablet and probably be made of much more material. HOW CAN IT BE SO EXPENSIVE!?!?
Who cares? Why is this a pissing contest? My tablet does things your laptop can't, your $200 laptop has a keyboard and runs windows. Who gives a flying fuck? Why do you care about my tablet and why should I care about your laptop?
Why are you sorry to hear that? I drink alcohol with my friends, have adult conversations, talk about my kids, go to R rated movies, etc., etc. You want me to do that with my children? What's wrong with you?
I has nothing to do with seat belts and everything to do with the US government telling me how to live, as if it knows best. It does not. I'm far smarter than the average money grubbing, lard-ass, palm pressing, know-it-all congressman. I don't need a group of people like that making sure I'm wiping my ass and eating my veggies. Do you?
Numbers, statistics and logic doesn't matter to the MaDD crowd. They couldn't give a damn about your freedom. Their children were killed by some drunk ass and we all have to pay the price. These people would probably love to see the death penalty for only being caught drunk driving. Never mind the fact that people eating, women putting on makeup and people playing with the radio could easily kill the same person.
Just be clear here, because most people love to get this wrong...
No one has found a genetic component that links homosexuality to anything other than choice. This research only theorizes and attempts to state that given the recorded statistics, at this point, the researcher can only assume that homosexuality must be somehow be genetic.
You see no reason why it violates your constitutional rights because you are uninformed and a fool. You would willingly subject anyone; women, children, the elderly and disabled to evasive and humiliating treatment as long as they weren't brown or black because it makes you "feel" safer. You waste the oxygen you breath.
The costs involved with listing with eBay as well as Paypal are clearly stated and can be calculated to the penny. Why are you complaining about the cost of a service when you knew what the cost of the service was before you used it?
Sounds like you are just being whiney about it because after the sale and after you have all your money, you are suddenly mad that eBay charged you for helping you sell your shit.
If he has a CCW permit and the business he was at does not have a posted sign or policy and he was following local laws and ordinances, it's fully within his right to carry if he feels the need to. Why does it matter if he was at his desk job or anywhere else? He may live in a very bad part of town, or the business he's works at could be in a high crime area. You don't fully know the details and asking "why does he need X" is no different than asking "why does this person need privacy if he's not doing anything wrong" or any asking why anyone would be doing any activity that you yourself might not agree with or may find questionable, even if it is fully within his rights under the law.
Your rant is the most venomous, hate filled tl;dr post I've seen in a long time. It seems that you are the one filled with hate, not talk radio and blogs.
You are dead wrong. List this "hardware" you keep talking about that does not include a serial port?
My list that includes serial ports is: Switches Routers Network Devices Servers (at least, the ones worth buying...) Remote Access Devices Remote Power Controls / PDUs Concentrators and on and on...
Even major firewall vendors who require a windows installation to run the management software have a serial port on the box for emergencies.
Outside of desktops and laptops, serial ports are *every where*. Why did you sit down and type out a comment about something you no absolutely *nothing* about?
While I can't agree with thier reason, what gives you the right to dictate to a parent what values they teach their children outside of state requirements? I'll teach my children what I think they need to be taught, not what some loser slashdot poster thinks is correct, thank you very much.
A citation is needed, preferably backed by serious scientific study.. Honestly, you are just speaking out of your ass and your comments are worthless. Homeschool groups often participate in cover schools that provide weekly supplemental classes as well as field trips and group activities where the participants are made up of the children's peers.

Everyone knows that American scientists "invented it" after an alien space craft crashed in the desert.

No. We already use it for any serious scientific or engineering work (with the exception if this idiot blunder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter)
Why does it make you so upset that we use SI for our recipes and street signs?

There are stupid questions...

Well said.
Yeah, why the fuck else would shareholders give a damn? You think it's a charity?

Government is not the answer to every problem. That's like trying to drive a screw with a $500 hammer.
