All I've heard is the same anti-Bush rumors and conspiracy theories I hear about every other subject these days. Bush makes hurricanes, Bush crashed planes into 9/11. Bush invented muslims as a scapegoat. Bush staged the moon landing. Bush stole the election.
I'm no fan of Bush, but I absolutely cannot stand the pure bullshit thrown around these days.
Theres a whole congress and senate just sitting around looking for a reason to impeach the guy.
Give it a few years and then you can start computing averages.
We only have one data element right now. Can you prove that it isn't an anomaly? Can you prove to me that the power we saved wasnt offset by the power used to deal with an unseasonably warm spring?
I've been able to ride home from work with the top down in my convertable the last few weeks.
Who fucking cares about energy savings or not, and quit trying to repackage every fucking story as "BUSH SUCKS", please.
Also, there isn't enough data to conclude that it's had "no impact" yet.
Al Gore wants me to unplug my xbox when I'm not using it, so it wont use power in standby mode and "every bit helps" - but nobody calls bullshit on that sort of idiocy. If the 0.05 watts my xbox uses when it's off is "helping", then so is this.
Will leave you stranded on the tarmack for 8 hours, then cancel your flight, and then send a media spokesman out to say that you and the other passengers are "liars".
I'll never fly with these assholes again, I don't care if they start installing 46" Bravia's and Wii's
Mac zealots would constantly talk trash about their superior mega PowerPC processors which are "faster than light".
Funny, for some reason or another, they've all shut the f*ck up about it. I don't have to hear any crap about "contiguous memory addresses" ooo.. I gots me a bonar.
It must be a crappo architecture, I only see Microsoft using it in any serious way with the 360.
You ever see a rig take off from a light? That big black plume of smoke coming out of the stack is 100% shit.
Diesel engines are pollutin' machines. The industry just shifted the focus on "carbon", and morons buy it.
Remember acid rain? I guess that's not an issue anymore
We'd have never had a gasoline economy if the tea totallers had allowed Ford to build his first cars to run on ethanol. We never will, for the same reason. So there's some food for thought. We're too fucking uptight to let people under 21 buy alcohol, even if it is for their car. Closest we'll get is 85%
"life" isn't as delicate as we've once thought, it can be supported in extreme environments, and doesnt even have to be carbon based - on this planet.
Sure planets could support "life". What you're asking is, could they support you? Maybe not.
Earths precarious orbit and presense of the water and the particular temperature make it suitable for our type of life - or is it the other way around, did life suit itself to the rock we happen to be stuck on?
Slashdot Mirror
That really isn't related to this story, is it? It's just there to agitate the average /.'er into blindly raging against Thailand.
In my day, we called that kind of stuff flamebait.
You know, like how Apple sucks and everyone who owns a Mac is a faggot.
I agree.
In the long run, SL will be remembered as a really lame also-ran MMORPG.
These arent stories, they're press releases.
This whole scheme assumes anyone interested in this has what, at least 4 friends who would be interested in coming over to play this with him.
Pfftt. LOOOOL
It's a safe assumption to make.
What do you think they want? The lack of HD support?
I'd have thought a linux fan would have loved Vista.
The same reason Apple is good and Microsoft is bad.
It's completely arbitrary and based on a naive world view. If Diebold is bad, their competition HAS to be good.
Can you show me some of this blatant evidence?

If you have evidence, I'd say show it to them.
What is hacking your Nintendo DS going to accomplish?
Set up a seperate, locked down via MAC, AP for your DS.
Ford is an auto maker? I thought they were a failing health care co-op.

Talk to me in 10 years or so.
ACs are running that werent last year.
You cant extrapolate "it doesnt help" from one months worth of data. I dont see how you can get any meaningful conclusions from it.
Unless you have an agenda, in which case you'll find support for it in an old can of Chef Boyardee.

ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
They dish out IPs and run DNS.
What exactly do they want immunity from?
All corporations want to be "above the law". Plenty move offshore to accomplish this.

This one.
I'm proud you passed your ESL course, though. Keep manning those call centers, HP owners need support!

whats "evil"?
if it's not legal, it's not "evil", that's how google defines it
it's a faggy motto, not a business plan
They're usually very dull and boring. Stupid questions like "what's your favorite color", etc.
It may not be the case with this one, but I've read enough "unlreleased" interviews and short stories to see a pattern.
All I see anymore is marketing crap disguised as "save the planet" feel-goodiness.
Yes, I've seen the commercial produced by the "americas oil industry" of a rig driving around making the world green and beautiful.
All diesel engines spew shit out, it's nearly impossible to have a complete burn.
And even low-sulphur diesel is many times worse than the exhaust from a gas engine.
Fall of the Foot Clan was pretty good for it's era, it was one of the earlier gameboy titles, and was better than TMNT for NES.
The original NES game really isn't all that bad. Frustratingly hard, sure, but not awful.
It wasn't the arcade game, of course, so thats a thumbs down of itself.
Wake me up when they release Battletoads. Fuck turtles.
Actually don't, I pretty much have the whole NES library on cart anyways.

dissing linux and getting +1 insightful, and being a dickhole at the same time.. u rox my xbox
Dude hes drivin a Prius, it's not like he's going fast enough to be dangerous.
