I can't say I know anyone who is like that, but ASL is a bit of a world standard, so if you're French and deaf, you still might learn ASL and not read and write English. French is a language in the translator so they'd be in luck if the person is literate, but what about people who aren't? In theory it's possible, and such a case was brought up on a Canadian crime drama called This is Wonderland where a person in a courtroom could only sign some type of language but indicated he couldn't read.
Worker productivity is dependent on there being little stress in the workplace, at least stress concerning job security. As the employee becomes more stressed, they'll do whatever they can to keep their job, even if it means cutting corners. This is bad for a company overall, even though it might produce results in the short term. Healthy and happy rodents...err employees make the best workers.
When they wrote "worthless original content" I was thinking of the average blog. Good thing my blog isn't average:-P [I delude myself in my spare time.]
I have seen odd searches though bring people to my site because I'm one of the few people who've talked about Peter Mansbridge, and posted pictures of small town Saskatchewan, and mouldy yogurt.
Striving for a first post isn't everyone's goal, but everyone needs a kick or a thrill now and then. Just be glad his thrill doesn't come from stabbing babies, or participating on school boards to get ID taught in a ciriculum.
Marking a foe doesn't mean you don't/can't read someone, it just means you've flagged them to be skipped so if you're not looking for a fight you know what not to read.
I've actually encountered people online who think its strange that there are still greater apes in the world if "they" were supposed to evolve into humans. I mean, why are some apes now humans, and some apes still apes? Is God punishing the greater apes by not evolving them instantly into humans, or us humans with the presence of people who don't grasp simple evolution concepts?
TMM posts insightful, and the full spectrum of positively moderatable comments for everyone to enjoy. If you don't like reading him, it's not hard to set him as a Foe, and set foes at a low reading threshold. But you, having not yet evolved from an ape-like species probably didn't realize that was possible. While you're at it, add me as a foe too if you don't like reading my posts.
In other news, Crest has fought off a push to include the following warning on their toothpaste tubes: Only 9 out of 10 Dentists agree that flouride toothpaste reduce cavities. Since there are dissenting Dentists, you're probably better off gargling with Coke.
I think another prosecuting attourney should charge the DA with turning a blind eye to Diebold's fraud. Find some evidence that they were bribed, or are involved in the choice to have the bad machines used.
On the topic of incompetent prosecutors, why hasn't Bush been charged with ordering illegal wiretaps yet?
A parachute is a vehicle, it's a technology that propells something through the air. Most egg drop contests have a no parachute rule, but if his didn't, then he clearly won.
"Imagine an unplugged beowulf cluster of these..."
That sounds like something Stephen King would write about, an unplugged computer that keeps working - if only he hadn't been found dead yesterday with hot grits down his pants...
The Slashblogging idea would get you a lot of offtopic moderations, and when you hit bad Karma you could only post once a day, but that's about normal for some blogging sites like DailyKos anyway. You could possibly still comment under another name or anonymously to respond to comments to your Slashblog. This of course is ignoring the Journal feature provided. The biggest drawback of Slashblogging is that you don't have a copy of your blog you can just download to retain your content, should Slashdot ever go under or delete old comments.
I think you should have been moderated Insightful, or Interesting, not just Funny.
Right now the only way blogs are "peer reviewed" and ranked is such on truthlaidbear.com or technorati.com where "links-to" increase your rating, and so you could choose to not look at someone who is an "Insignificant Microbe".
"What do you think the motivation is behind gathering this intelligence if it isn't to remove a real threat?"
The same reason powerful people spy on their political enemies anywhere in the world: to keep power to themselves. Making Americans safer is just a cover story, which sometimes is the case, but clearly isn't if the wire tap isn't being obtained legally, since that right away makes Americans less safe- from their government certainly.
Keep your eye on the prize, don't get distracted by hooey from Bush and gang. If you can be thrown in a jail anytime without trial, for any reason, you aren't living in a free country. Same thing if you're an innocent person without any privacy in your phone calls.
The first DVD ROM I installed in the '90s blew me away. I couldn't believe that DVD was so crappy. It didn't even play on Windows Media Player [unless you BUY a decoder/player, WTF!], and that's the devil incarnate and should play anything you've bought. There are stupid warnings on MPAA DVDs now threatening you with jail if you pirate movies, and then they show the 30 year old FBI text warning not to copy the tape. You can't fast forward through the warnings, so how is that better playability than a VCR? If pirates can make a more watchable and enjoyable disc, you really have to wonder what's wrong with the movie studio goons.
We only import billions of $ of goods from them every year, and the US has sold the greenback to China. It's not like they are trying to avoid the news, and the world media is the paparatzi.
China's hosting the Olympics in 2 years too, so they are going to get some attention whether they like it or not, and if they don't like the attention they are getting they ought ot make real reforms.
Thanks for the info, I think I might have known that at one point, but I'd forgotten it.
I wonder if Yahoo will ban "LLH" then too;-)
This whole non-swear name blocking thing is so immature for a large business. It's the kind of amateurish meddling you'd expect to see on LiveJournal or eBay, but not the great Hoo.;-) Yeah right, eh?
Bush could blow a goat, and still walk away smelling like a rose to Fox News and other media patsy stations.
Headline: "Bush brings security and pleasure to farm yard animal"
He's broken his oath of office, which is to uphold the constitution of the United States. Really, what would he have to do to get impeached? I think he'd get away with running over a baby carriage in a market, at the end of a drunken rage. He'd take a hit in the polls ofr a few months, but when we invade Iran all will be well for him again.
It maybe a mis-spelling of YHWH the abbreviated form of a holy Jewish name that I've heard is abbreviated because it's not proper to spell it out. Christians say it all the time though.
Do you mean what's currently used? What's used is not enough for some Americans, think of rolling blackouts in CA for example. To provide the entire world with as much energy individually as what an average American uses, I don't think there'd be even 50 years of coal left. And remember, energy demand goes up, it doesn't get less, unless we get much more efficient.
That should have been obvious to even casual media observers, when the media became more rabid over not hearing gossip about the VP's accidental shooting spree [a lawyer shot with many pellets in one blast], than they were about the President's obviously illegal wiretappings of Americans. Geeze, what does a president have to do these days to get impeached when breaking an enshrined value in the constitution, and a law isn't enough?

New business model:
1. Buy super quantum computer
2. ???
3. Profit!
We now know step 2. Shut the computer off and go for a long weekend.

And you posted your "information" anonymously why?
As for it being an "official" time of war, that seems convenient. Will the USA ever be a free society not at war, again?

Thank you CIA for all that you do for [Bush] us.
The way this discussion is going I think Slashdot needs a new category with this motto:

Is there anyone living close to there in Greenland though? There are Canadian military people at Alert, and Inuit living in the north too.
