You shouldn't care that your story was rejected. In the grand scheme of things, Slashdot is, well, nothing. Posting this does make you look like you are whining, because most people don't care about such things. Anyway, a better solution might be to create your own news site, or contribute to one that you consider more fair.
3.1 billion isn't very much if you're talking businesses nationwide. So, yes, it's much, much cheaper to pay close to minimum wage plus english class than, say, $50,000/year. A night time community college class in most states costs peanuts.
A friend told me the same thing about 5-6 years ago. I still disagree today. Most of the time, the only way to get results with a high S/N is to do a groups search, especially for searches that include keywords used by lots of advertisers.
Nice review up to the last paragraph. Looks like the only reason you mentioned OpenOffice was to say that its analogous feature is "primitive" in comparison. Makes me wonder if that was the point of the entire review anyway. Hopefully someone can say something about Gnumeric and other specialized tools with respect to this TOTALLY AWESOME feature of MS Excel you so love. Here's one reason to exclude reviews of obscure MS Office features-- free alternatives without said useless features get called "primitive".
1) Everyone votes
2) Electoronic machines report numbers
3) Losing party sues to have paper trail recount
4) Paper trail recount confirms computer count
5) Repeat 3 and 4 a few times.
6) Repeat in every election these machines are used in.
Have you forgotten that paper ballots already provide a paper trail, and are widely used? But you still don't see this recount fever you talk about. The reason that guy gave you was bogus, and you believed it. Didn't it sound at least a little absurd? We can't have checks and balances because people might check too much??? Recounts generally happen in close elections, paper trail or not. The paper-less systems prevent this. Recounts weren't generally considered such a thorn in the side of democracy until four years ago. It's happened in Gubernatorial elections several times during my life, and really, it's not that big a deal.
Scirus doesn't compare themselves to Google Scholar, though. Do some searches and compare. I just did. Google Scholar seems better, based on the searches I did. I'm not surprised at all.
I've thought of this before, as have many others, since anything we drop on the Sun would hardly put a dent in it. However, think of the costs of carrying heavy garbage to orbit (the protective containers themselves would weigh tons), and the potential disaster if it explodes before reaching outer space (if we do regular launches, then a disaster will happen eventually).
Copyright infringement is not a crime. If Joe Blow's copyrights are infringed, nobody cares. If the MPAA's copyrights are infringed, why should we care more about these than Joe Blow's copyrights? Because our rich masters command us to?
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January..... In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January.
Intresting point. Consider the following twist on your statement.
There were zero combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January..... In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January.
Now do you understand my point? The deaths in Iraq are unnecessary. So you're saying since 35 people were murdered in Detroit, the number killed in Iraq is not such a big deal. Do you not understand that the exchange between the candidates you quote TOTALLY contradicts what you're saying? John Glenn wanted his opponent to visit the VA hospital to see those veterans who were suffering, so he can repect them. Do you think not putting a soldier in harms way is somehow disrespectful? Like John Glenn said,
You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch those waving flags. You stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?
I agree. This is some weak-ass shit. The pics I took with my sorry-ass camera w/o a tripod looked better. This guy just wanted to see if his server could withstand a slashdotting.
So... 'Kill the president' is bad, but "Kill the President" By The Offspring, is okay?
Yes. I've never heard of "The Offspring" but either they're high-profile or rich, and so the rules are different. I remember a Republican congressmen making a comment like "Clinton better watch his back" (or something like that) and you know nothing came of that either. Please don't act surprised.
Every year a new young person learns that making any statement about the president and death gets him/her a visit from the secret service. Actually, from the couple instances I know, the penalty was more severe (they restricted the person's travel, and required them to notify the SS of any interstate travel) but I guess now it looks like they aren't coming down so hard, which is surprising given the current state of things. Yet still, the comment had the wrong idea-- the last thing you'd want to do is martyr a bad leader, because you'd have to suffer his glorificaion in the media for years (ever heard a Republican say anything bad about JFK?). Let this clown live to see that he is regarded as the most incompeent president ever.
please. remember the federal court ruling about [website]sucks.com? when you sue somebody in court (in the USA), the FIRST thing the judge establishes is whether you're suing the right person. go to a real court and observe the beginning of a civil suit.
You don't create equality of opportunity by randomly favoring certain groups just because their grandparents had it difficult.
You don't create equal opportunity by doing nothing either. So you have to either say, "there is no perfect solution, therefore we should do nothing" (which is fine to say, I mean, why should you care?) or you could do something. And clearly, if you do something to help one group this is considered unfair.
As a side note, for those of you who think we should pay reparations to the descendants of slaves, how about we give the bill to the descendents of slaveowners? I think there are a lot of those hoping for a big payoff who would end up owing more than I do.
Interesting idea, though it's moot since there will never be reparations (for African Americans, at least), and the statute of limitations is over. However, the reasoning is that slave ownership was a lawful, government-sanctioned institution, so why go after law-abiding citizens? Get the governemnt that instituted this in the first place (remember, this will never happen, so we're just waxing).

And javascript is at least a better first language than BASIC!
Oh, I see this is the funny part.

Likewise! Compiling Mozilla w/o anything except Navigator is so much better than Firefox. No wierdness, no M$isms, no mess.

The reviewer said that the DataPilot feature in OpenOffice (NOT OpenOffice itself) was primitive in comparison. Which it is.
And what I said was

Please dont flame me for this: but why would an OS X user want to install a linux distro?
Free upgrades!

There are no term limits for U.S. Senators.

Do you even use Linux? What is this "core Linux OS" you speak of?
