Yeah, you do. I get an e-mail for every response, including AC. I used to get an e-mail for every time one of my posts was moderated, and considering that I routinely go from 2 to +5 to -1 and back again in a single post, that was a bit of overkill... But check your settings, there are many options here for notification.
Y'know, there was a thousand thoughtful ways you could have furthered this debate, but instead, you chose to just go all anti-gun Snowflake and forfeit any credibility. Sad. Still, I'd love to see your cites and stats re "police standoffs gone wrong" in 2016.
Actually, there is not. 28.9% of the U.S. population or 91.76 million, according to Wikipedia. And only 59% of those believe that the bible should be taken literally. And there is nowhere in the New Testament where a theocracy is called for -- just the opposite in fact. So I'm not really sure what a "Christian extremist" is, or more importantly, what his "law" would be. The law as preached by Jesus, "Love one another yadda yadda" and the other Mosaic Antitheses over-write any of that OT stuff, so I am not sure what you would be afraid of, even if there were enough "Christian extremists" to enact "laws."
Incorrect. The Hawaiian judge based his opinion upon "intent" as expressed verbally by members of the Trump campaign in the run-up to the election. The actual (second) order was more carefully written to avoid any reference to religion (here, read it yourself.) There is not a legal scholar, Left or Right, in the U.S. who believes that the partisan Hawaiian ruling will withstand appeal.
Because many people cite the travel ban as some kind of example of "Islamaphobia" so that they can be dismissive of it, when actually it is an example of "MotherFuckersWhoWantToKillMeAndMyFamilyaphobia" which, I must confess, I suffer from.
Actually, the countries were singled out by the Obama administration. And there is no ban on Muslims -- that would be illegal. There are, however, travel restrictions that affect incoming flights from certain countries known to harbor large numbers of people who have threatened to kill large numbers of Americans in as spectacular a fashion as they can muster.
The studios are not the creators, in most cases, but those creators contract with the studios for distribution, and the studios have a legal obligation to ensure, to the best of their ability, that the distribution is secure. That secure distribution is in the best interest of the creators, who very often are paid a percentage of the distribution fees and box office receipts the studios collect. So if you are genuinely concerned about the creators, respect the deals they have made with their distributors.
>> And what if I disagree to very concept on owning exclusive rights to any sort of media?
Spoken like someone who has never created anything worth stealing. Seriously, you believe you have a right to drive down to the newsstand on the corner and fill up the trunk of your car with the newspapers and magazines the middleman there is selling, without paying him?
Just as "Hacker" now equals "Bad Guy Who Breaks Into Computers" Language Evolves, and not always in the way Geeks, or insufferable pedants, would wish. Deal.
Slashdot, we get that you have to cycle through your daily Facebook and Uber jones, but do you think maybe the Vault 7 story might just get a little air time here? Teensy weensy amount, maybe?

It will be accidental, but it will happen. The problem is that the political extremists on Twitter's side of the Political Divide don't really understand that views which oppose their own aren't all the product of "Hate Speech" or horse-blinder'ed religious zeal. That "Brooklyn Bubble" effect extends way beyond Brooklyn, I'm afraid...
Media kept running headlines like, "Trump Says He Was a Pussy Grabber!!!" and women in the Hearltand responded, "Yes? And...?" There is a huge cultural divide here in this country, same as between Montreal and Quebec, but the media has been willfully ignorant about it until very recently.
It's a clumsy and back-handed attempt to gin up an Alarmist vs. Denier thread, which is the only reliable source for pageviews slashdot has these days. C'mon, play along...!
...for "downgrading" Pluto. He went on to write a snarky book, the title of which -- "How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming" -- tells you all you need to know about this self-absorbed douche.
This is a quick, showy, last gasp "Hurrah!" for Government Space before all the heavy lifting, innovation and big expense are turned over to Commercial Space.
...when I sent my daughter off to college last Fall. Figured it might be nice for her to have someone beside Dear Ol' Dad to call if she had some complicated Linux problems (she can handle the simple and medium problems). Then I saw how much they were charging! Could not justify the expense, even with whatever phonecall time it might save me. Bought a Lenovo and had her roll her own OS into it. She, and my wallet, are both way better for it...
You're right. Instead of putting his name in the press release, Elon should reference the idea as having come from Pakit Cherniabiyia, the lead developer at the third-party firm overseas who is handling Tesla's AI research. That's sure to result in lots more press interviews and investments. Good thinking...!

To what "birth control related laws" are you referring?

>>Christian extremist law is a far more realistic threat to the United States than Sharia law.
Really? That sounds crazy! How do you figure?
>>Trump's Muslim ban

Because had we voted for Hilary there would be fewer robots?
Still, it's "Trump!" and that'll be good for several hundred posts... I guess that's the whole point, ennit?
Golly, how did you know I was looking for advice from a guy who posts "drinking games" alongside his online resume?

Sure, but when you are racking up $30K utility bills at your Tennessee estate you can blow through your millions pretty quickly...

Yeah, well my MATH PROFESSOR is smarter than your ENGLISH PROFESSOR, and she said to vote for Jill Stein, SO THERE!
