[1] Of course, who knows how committed Obama is to his tech platform. ..
Or any platform for that matter. He speaks in nothing but poetic platitudes. What DOES he really stand for? It sounds nice and really fires up a crowd, but, IMHO, there's nothing there yet. It'll be interesting if he gets the nomination. He'll actually have to drop the poetry and start explaining his "change."
If he really is quitting...

Has Ron Paul Quit?

...it's about time! That guy is a whack job. All you Ron Paul supporters are still children. Grow up.
Wow! Such a short article, void of any details, gets all the Slashdot "scientists" lathered up and attacking religion. Me thinks there is a lot to this story that wasn't in the article. After all, it's the NYT. They'll never pass on an opportunity to make religion (except Islam) look silly.
I still can't understand how the same guy who created a show as wonderful as Firefly also created Buffy and Roseanne. How could that have come out of the same mind?
When you say "Our school system is designed to produce people that are good at regurgitation. ..", I assume you mean the U.S. system (my system). Obviously anecdotal, but since I've returned to the U.S. (Silicon Valley), I've done my fair share of interviews with foreign workers (French, British, Chinese, Indian, and one Zimbabwean) and quite honestly, the same problem exists with them. Thinking independently is not, and has not been (IMHO), a very common trait amongst us humans.
I'm surprised you've been able to read any of my responses considering you can't see your monitor... you know... with your head being so far up your ass.
Look. There is a reason why Japan is the third largest military spender in the world (something like 1% of GDP). It's the same reason the article 9 referendum push by the LDP is gaining popularity. That same reason may also explain Japan's decision to development this aircraft. That reason is DEFENSE (yes... even preemptively -- hence the article 9 referendum). So Japan does in fact have a military and they spend quite a bit of money on it. That alone pretty much makes all your points so far invalid.
As for my swearing off slashdot forever, all I can say is that addiction is a terrible thing.
As for my Japanese, it is quite basic. But I suspect you have no idea what my last post actually said. If you did, you probably wouldn't have responded in such a manner. Oh... and during my time in Japan, my basic Japanese did get me a few chicks. In fact, I married one of them.
> Funny how your actually one of many here responsible for the decline in quality discussion, > and yet, you bitch about that fact.
Sumimasen, but sometimes I just can't stand when people spout off about stuff they have little knowledge of. My ten years in Japan (5 of them in the US military, 5 as a consultant for both the HQ for all US forces in Japan and a short stint at the Japanese 'Pentagon' in Ichigaiya) probably says I know a little. Not much I freely admit, but enough to know you're full of it.
Oh wow, I got called a bad namein overly basic nihongo by some 3 digit UID on/. Grow up man.
Actually, you were called a bad name (dumb ass) and asked, quite politely, to please die by some 3 digit UID on/. Please forgive me. I'm sure your month of backpacking in Japan gave you a wealth of insight into the Japanese socio-political goings-on.
"Now that they've been told no big military for you they know something the rest of us don't. Senseless waste of cash on military posturing. It's why Japan is one of the top economies right now."
1) No one has 'told' them they cannot have a military for a long time (unless you count themselves). 2) If Japan's economy is one of the tops, then by your logic, the economies in the U.S. and China should be in the shitter. 3) You know nothing of Japan. Anime doesn't count. Bakayaro. Shinde onegaishimasu.
Unfortunately, I put it on my shiny new Sears card (set up the day of the purchase). They also had 0% interest deal for 12 months on a Sears charge card. At least I didn't get screwed over on that. Couple more payments and it's paid off.
Slashdot Mirror
True, but they have an established HISTORY. Obama... not so much. He's a blank page. No one really knows what he stands for REALLY.
In Soviet Russia, we welcome our new whippersnapper overlords.
I'll tell you what - YOU vote for Lessig... oh, wait! You're not eligible!
Next?
That was suh-weet!

How's the whoring going whore?
Holy crap! Most Americans posting on slashdot probably vote. Heaven help us.
Sorry. The Govinator is a RINO (Republican In Name Only). He's much more of a "Democrat" than most of the Democrats I know.

HE HE HE. That was money.

You must be new here... welcome to slashdot.
Gnome is so much better than KDE. And Emacs sucks. Vim forever!

This was fun. Thanks for playing. Bye now.
That would be 'ganbattene', but I understood.

You're an ignoramus.
"It's pretty obvious why they don't have a military."
They don't have a military. Really?

Addiction is horrible thing.
Suh-weet! But you do know you just posted in a thread full of lemmings, right? Nice post, but completely ignored.
OK. So you've read about the PATRIOT Act. Have you read the Act itself?
WOW! You know a lot of words! ...and that's about it.
Try READING the damn post next time asshole.
