It's an actual, according-to-Stern, movie. He gave himself a blow job in a book and Hollywood thought it would be great to turn it into a movie. Self-serving isn't the beginning of what Private Parts was.
I hear that Larry Flynt is free speech's biggest hero too, at least according to another Hollywood movie.
Is this where those millions of MP3s on the P2P networks never existed and everyone suddenly has completely (or mostly) legal collections? And where everyone only downloads to check the album out before going out to buy it? Yawn, whatever.
Spare me your hair splitting of what is theft and what is copyright infringement. Outside of Slashdot, no one gives a damn about the difference.
Work to develop anti-satellite weapons has been underway for decades with Russia and China taking an active role in research and development. Perhaps someone can explain to me why this makes the United States and George W. Bush evil/stupid?
Do you think it's a good idea for two potential enemies to have a capability that could cause catastrophic damage to American interests and the Americans just close their eyes to it?

You picked the right handle for yourself. Well done!
What the original poster was trying to say is that products in a certain class all performed their jobs at a similar level of quality. The only thing left that can differentiate between them is design. A prettier good product beats out an uglier good product. Is there something immoral about this? Do you pick the uglier product so you can show your independence to the world?
I'm pretty sensitive to bias in the media considering that I am a journalist interested in the subject and I have to say that I've detected no overt (or subtle for that matter) bias in the stories that Google News presents. I see stories from both conservative and liberal newspapers when I do searches on news stories. If there's conservative bias, it must be very subtle.
Statement of bias: I am a conservative so perhaps by judgment is being colored. Also, Google News has run a number of stories from my online magazine so perhaps I'm feeling kind towards them.
You're mistaking bitrate for quality... Sure, 192 kbps is by no means CD quality. But on anything but a very good/expensive hifi system, you'll most likely not be able to tell the difference between an CD and a 192 kbps mp3.
You can, however, tell the difference with a pair of modest headphones (not those earbud things mind you). I can and I have ears of tin.
How the double standards are flying today! Google isn't doing evil because it's doing the bidding of a Communist tyranny that murders its own citizens because it just wants to do business in China! That's not evil, that's just smart business!
Deal with this: Google is just another business that will sell you out if they can make a big pot of money doing it. Hey, if you don't believe me, ask the Chinese!
Actually, most of the software I run is OSS and I thank you for the compliment. I do have a clue as to what I'm doing.
I was merely responding to your implication that there are only two types of windows users: the ones that lie back and 'enjoy' it or the ones that invite disaster by pirating software. Windows users are like every other computer user, they need to be educated. I'm pleased to say that I've done plenty of that.
Your world is pretty small, I know of a third group that runs Windows and is never infected by viruses, hit by exploits or other nasties, their computer hums along just nicely and they use their computer to do stuff.
I know, because I'm one of them. Nice to meet you.
His comments about limited liability and the Federal Reserve thoroughly convinced me that the Libertarian Party is a bunch of ivory tower kooks...and I was a strong supporter not even 15 minutes ago!
Just how were you a strong supporter of the Libertarian Party and not know anything of their beliefs on these two items?
At the risk of Slashdotting my own web site and appearing like a traffic whore, my magazine is running an interview with Michael Badnarik this week as well. You can find it here.
He's never been able to extract his politics from his reporting throughout his career. Then again, this is the man who invented modern political mudslinging while working for Lyndon Johnson.
The wages in both countries for nurses are crap...many just conveniently forget to report income accrued while "on vacation" in the US.
You're talking out of your ass. Despite what nurses and their unions love to proclaim, nurses are amongst the highest paid professionals in this (Canada) country. Granted, they work hard for that money and I don't begrudge them it but a rookie nurse's annual take home pay is generous compared to what the average person earns.

The nursing profession already is low paying and has been for a while. Lots of the workers are from overseas. Its unlikely wages will drop in this field because they have already been gutted.
Right, that's why thousands of Canadian nurses have fled to the American system, because they want to give up the great socialist health care system here for the low paying, wage slave conditions of the United States.

A Visual History of Spam

I agree with the person you responded too; this guy's level of spam is nil. And, the true irony is that M$ (for whom this suck-ass works) is probably 99% of the reason spam exists anyway!
Eh? Care to explain that statement? Microsoft didn't write the first spam, didn't create the open protocol that enables spam to be sent so easily, and doesn't run the biggest ISPs where spam is sent from, though its Hotmail users seem to be quite susceptible to receiving it. So how is Microsoft responsible for virtually all spam?
I don't much care for many of Microsoft's products but let's be a little more circumspect with the accusations we throw around.
According to the stats my spam filter keeps, I receive an average of 92 messages a day, 71 per cent (or about 65) of which are spam. I'm rather surprised I receive so "few" considering my email address is listed on about 6,000 pages on the web.
I thank God for Bayesian filtering every day, I usually only see 1 or two spam every few days.

Cargo pants are out of style. Do yourself a fashion favor and buy yourself a messenger bag, briefcase, backpack or something similiar.

Apple had nothing to do with making them more popular.
I can't wait for the inevitable front page /. story one year from now proclaiming a glut and collapse in the portable MP3 player market.
