  1. World of Tanks on Ask Slashdot: Really Short Time Wasters? · · Score: 1

    Short rounds, no more than 15 minutes each. Or, usually, much less.

  2. Re:ISS on You're Never More Than 115 Miles From McDonald's · · Score: 1

    Not exactly the contiguous US, is it?

  3. Shatner on Recession Cuts Operation That Uses Hair To Clean Up Oil · · Score: 1

    Talk to William Shatner, his toupee should be enough to clean it all up.

    Mission officially scrubbed

  5. Intervention? Maybe.... on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    Try working out something with Blizzard, if that doesn't work, you can always sabotage his system, prevent him from playing WoW. Also, may be possible to talk to your ISP and get his access to WoW servers cut off. He needs help, but will deny it. I know this from experience (with gambling), addictions suck....WoW could be worse than gambling, unfortunately. :(

    Sorry, Mog007 -- I suggest you check the facts and the actual quote before "correcting" it.

    John Bartlett (1820-1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

    NUMBER: 3929
    AUTHOR: Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
    QUOTATION: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. (1)
    ATTRIBUTION: Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
    BIOGRAPHY: Columbia Encyclopedia.

    Note (1).
    This sentence was much used in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work.--Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413.

  7. Big Brother, anyone? on How The Government Spies On Your Internet Use · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All I can say is.....I'm glad I'm Canadian!! Our government here in Canada certainly isn't perfect....but looking at the USA from the outside, they are heading down the slippery slope towards a police state. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." At this rate, the average American will have neither liberty or safety before long.

  8. Screw you, America on U.S. Says Canada Cares Too Much About Liberties · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh give me a break......the US does not hold jurisdiction over Canada, and they can keep their grubby fingers out of my country, thank you very much. If I want to smoke pot in my own country, if that right has been 'allowed' by my own government, what gives the US the right to interfere in the sovereignity of Canada? F*CK OFF!!
