ya, what's depressing is that the first thing i thought was that in these times any sort of plane crash is suspicious.
anyone wanna bet that this was a 'wellstone-type' affair?
na, forget it, we'll never know the truth anyway...
call me paranoid, but anyone who says it can't happen has their head in the sand. i would rather call it healthy skepticism than paranoia... but either is preferable to being numbered among the 'sheeple'
he's right though, SSI does not provide enough money for anyone to live reasonably. arguably enough to get by perhaps...
and again you're missing the point, he says that it is relatively easy to manage your environment indoors, but is almost impossible outdoors. so your 'suggestion' that he find an outdoor job is nonsense.
for the record, i am a canadian socialist and certainly not typical.
however, from your assumption that everyone who reads/. is an american and that anyone who expresses a tolerant view is a socialist, i can safely assume that you are in fact a very typical citizen of our reckless neighbour to the south.
RTFA... (in this case 'A' stands for autobioraphy)
he is not shocked that he has to try and find a job, his autobiography relates his incredibly frustrating attempts to find a job with extraordinary clarity.
There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says fool me once (pause), shame on..... (long, long pause) shame on you. (pause, then rapidly)... and fool me we can't get fooled again.
so, when did the russians (or anyone else) send their probes? AFAIK, no one has done so. if they had, we would not be having this discussion now.
the point is, until something is verified by anyone other than the person (or entity) claiming it to be so, no rational person can dismiss the possibility that the claim is not true out of hand. take computer security issues for example, a topic near and dear to the slashdot crowd's heart, would you believe a company's security is airtight just because they say so? or would you want to see an independent audit.
that's exactly what this is trying to be, an independent audit
and even if they were to be humiliated now, that's not the point. the race was to be first, and the perception is that the americans won, whether they did or not. the objective has been achieved.
exactly, glad someone else noticed this.
i expect there will be many more "announcements" for the year 2012.
stuff like "there will be no more hungry people in the world" and the like.

a quick scanning does not do this topic justice.
and yes, you are callous...
how bout scrumtrulescent?
that's close but:

anyone recognize that little nugget?
great post!
i hadn't heard of this case, but it's an excellent example of drug policy gone wrong.
thx for bringing it to my attention.
makes me wonder if the letter is legit, and not some scammer.
one of the most informative responses i've read here. thx

well put
isn't this what the XForms spec is for? why do we need a proprietary MS solution to do the exact same thing?

im a candian and i feel it's high time YOU (the american people) told YOUR OWN president to go fuck himself.
