I suggest that the field and the general user experience would be greatly enhanced by limiting access to compilers/assemblers (by means of pricing and with the cooperation of the open source community)But who will enhance the enhancers?
So, with a $6/gallon gas price, not only would it cost an arm and a leg for you to go to work and do your normal things, it will make everything increase in price.
Yes! The cost of things would start to reflect their real cost.
I'm in no way supporting the silly SUV mindset or the lack of public transportation in our country, but a 200-300% hike in fuel costs would hurt everybody
Global warming will hurt everybody more in the long run.

My kingdom for some mod points. For that comment, sir, you should be awarded a special sneak preview accidental-but-on-purpose brush with your arm against said boobies (through clothes) in advance of judgement day.
Clearly you have no idea how powerful folksonomies are. You will nonetheless be welcome in the 21st century if and when you decide to make the journey.
So if homesteading is mixing your labour with the material, is it possible for me to own land without digging or building on it? What about a wildlife reserve, for instance?
Relative moral values means that the Nazis did nothing wrong.
No, relative moral values means that the Nazis did something wrong, because they lost the war. Hence the white Europeans who now rule the land once inhabited by indigenous Americans did not do anything wrong. Okay, maybe just a little bit wrong, let's give them a casino.
That's just the way the world works. Rights are granted. Call them natural if you want, but don't be surprised when the next superpower revokes them.
Other property rights come about as a result of this - i.e. owning your body and mind, using your body and mind to create value elsewhere, you retain rights over what was created using that primary property.
I think there's a bit of a bootstrapping problem here. You don't create, you reshape. But you don't get to own things you reshape that weren't yours to start with. So how do we decide who owns what? Some sort of homesteading? So how can you justify homesteading as an extension of the primary natural right?
I'm not sure who's pulling whose leg here?! I was being tongue-in-cheek: I don't speak Dutch so I wouldn't be able to tell if the letters were in a wierd order.
I see what you mean: those letters are in such a wierd order it's barely recognisable as English any more;)
But seriously, it looks fine to me (apart from being rendered in a bitmapped font). I'm running 10.4.3, and it seems to be okay both in Preview.app and Safari.app. What problems am I supposed to be seeing?

I particularly liked:
Seemingly uttered without a trace of irony!

You had floppies? Luxury! We used to have to carry each nybble of data in a separate trip...
(etc.)
Yes, that one and the one from links.bankofamerica1.com!
I think those guys should be sued for encouraging users to become susceptible to phishing attacks.
What, you thought the OP was talking about terrorism against America?!
Don't forget about this.
No, the fact is that people will have to learn to do without. Peak oil is not a matter of if, but when.

The news is that Google is hiring.
Not one comment (in 116 at time of writing) has actually discussed that (except to quibble about whether or not they're hiring women).
Slashdot's readership brings it on itself.
You've never lived in Edinburgh.

A system of government in which the people are ruled by a deficiency?
I think you mean "hypocrisy".

So if I steal "your" diamonds and make them into a necklace, I get to keep them?!
"In truth"? Tell it to the judge.
Informative my ass. "Any more" is entirely backwards; it is with Tiger that they have stabilised the KPI.

Would this not preclude a social contract that allows for killing in self defence?
Can I use this as an excuse to kill my flatmate's boyfriend as if he were a prowler?
That's like trying to make sure the poison in the drink they knowingly sell you won't actually kill you.
Safe and secure for whom?
(BTW that last sentence is a take-off of one of my favourite three-word jokes -- "Premature for whom?")
You seem to have missed the forest of my comment for the trees.
