Replying to parent that was replying to itself that was replying to me:
Well, that's a strange posting process. First you reply to my post with valid questions as to what the motive of my post was. But then, as though you were arguing with me in your mind, you respond to my first post via your own reply in what might best be termed a flame-ish tone.
It's kind of interesting to watch that unfold, although you could have saved yourself a post and "flaimbait" moderation by waiting for my response. (Although really, who gives crap what the moderators think?) Anyway, perhaps I can best explain my post as a reaction to all of the slashdot crowd that was so quick to roll out on life support the standard "I, for one, welcome..." comments. Although you are welcome to insert your own political interpretation, none was meant.
Also too, it doesn't surprise myself in the leastest that a people describing theirself as an type of "fascist" even a grammar one, would be, so quickly to interpret a subtle joke as an aafront to their political beliefs.
I do not think that the Iraqis will welcome their new robotic overlords. Or their guns. Probably not the bullets either. In fact, I think they may get kind of pissed...
So, if 1/2 of 1% gives you 5 cents more an hour, you're only making $10 an hour, in the IT sector. You're practically working for over-seas wages already- why not just move to India and do the same job and live like a king? or Maharaja?
I can't see PETA, or event myself for that matter, going along with a quantum encryption system when every time you unencrypt and open the box/vault/computer/etc. there is a 50/50 chance of killing a cat.

woooooow, impresive, a "license to copy". That is just soooooo not as impressive as a license to kill. This is why there will never be a cool action movie about German government agents.
If apple sell more ipods than creative, then creative would lose market share
No, not necesarily, since the market is expanding. Creative simply needs to capture more of the emerging portion of the market than Apple does to gain market share. I highly doubt that will happen though, since perhaps the biggest reason the market is expanding this way is interest in Apple iPod products, so most of the emerging part of the market will go to Apple.

Why no just respond to his critique? Also-- attitude: a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Your observation is part of your beliefs and feelings that you hold, and as such part of your attitude towards this issue. Whether or not it drives sers away, I don't know, but if you are seeking to covince anyone of, well, anything, there are beter ways.
Thanks for the inside perspective. There may be more value there than the article gave credit for. As for gas, $1.75 for a gallon would be plenty for me to use in an hour of running errands locally. Driving far requires more time, therefore more hours through ZipCar, more money, and quicklu approaching break-even point on rental cars. As for standing in line, 5-10 minutes max everytime I've had to, and the previous reply to my original post shows the flaws with the reserved parking, included gas, and more. Perhaps with time some of this could be worked out though. Good luck with it all.
$8.50 to $12.50 an hour, plus $25 application fee and $100 deposit. In NJ, you can rent a car for as little as $25 a day. (Ford Focus) If you need a car for more than 2 hours or so, a rental is about as economical. A "quick run to the store" can be done with public transportation. Sure, there may be rare circumstances under which this is better than a full-service rental, but maybe not so much to build a business model on.
Also, in a "time-share" you actually own something. Here, you are basically just a member of a club. Maybe this is all just a scam to get you application fee and $100 deposit, while paying for a rental car to boot.
If a terrorist in the US has access to surface-to-air missiles, it is definitely a different story: At that point, the laser is the least of our problems. Now, even though this is ridiculous, at least the lasers are the most of our (televised) problems.
I didn't think it was all that funny to begin with, and it was my post! Maybe the "funny" mods were with respect to the fact that someone had actually modded it as insightful. That is the funny part. Not my lame reference to some movie.
Why is it that every new HD based music/multimedia/whatever device has to be called an iPod killer by media hacks? Or any new products has to be touted in a similar way?
The market has plenty of room for a few popluar brands of most any product, especially since different people like different feature sets.
More and more though, Slashdot seems to be adding to these cliches and becoming more sensationalist. Maybe Slashdot is becoming too mainstream in it's sensibilities. Go ahead, mod me as flaimbait, troll, or whatever, but I'm simply voicing thoughts I've seen others allude to as well in these forums.
You should check out Rawl's theories of Justice. Incredibly insightful and vastly different way of thinking about social obligation from all points of view, but specifically for people who have some sort of inherent gift, such as high inteligence. I can not even attempt to do his work justice by explaining it in so brief a forum here.
Damn that's good-- and I had even considered that you knew what you were doing in that post, but then disregarded that idea. Ultimately, I suppose we've probably just illustrated for the rest of the Slashdot crowd how tedious humor become when explained. Oh well...!
Yes, it does require a question mark-- therein lies part of the humor. You see, I was poking fun at your post by pointing out your use of question marks on statements. I then contrasted that observation with my own incorrect (and in that context, ironic) use of punctuation. The humor is subtle and dry, but it is there. Also, in case you were wondering, I did not mean it as an insult. I was simply amused. I found your content interesting, although someone with mod points might not mark it as interesting since the puntuation made for slightly awkward reading.
Mine only has 179! And some Gauss-Bonet person told me I could get one for the same price with 270 degrees! Where the hell is Euclid when you need a refund?
I thought the cache memory was a faster, and much more expensive type though. Or is it itsproximity to the procesor that makes it more efficient? Just curious.
Specific examples like that will always be easy to come up with, for both/any side of the issue: Would you rather have your bike stolen and your teeth kicked in and be healed in a month, or have your life savings embezled by an accountant when you are 65 years old, have to live on cat food, and watch your wife die because you had no money to pay for the visit to the doctor that would have caught an early stage of pnemonia?
I do not mean to say that one type of crime is worse than another. I wanted simply to point out that anyone thinking that non-violent crimes like this are insignificant enough to punish only with a fine and some community service are perhaps not realizing the full effect of these crimes.

Try Shure brand or Etymonic brand earphones. Very Pricey, with the low-end version at $100-$130, but they get the job done with room to spare.

Yes, and on a long enough time line, any event is always "sooner rather than later"

Dude, like, I know some people who drill for oil that are sooooo the right people to call in on something like this.
No, it didn't. If you don't know the meaning of the word, don't use it.

You put them at the end of your statements?
Do you think such usage is correct.
