I KNOW.
I spent so much time playing the PS2 version and swinging the controller around. It make the lightsaber levels so much more interactive with the wire connected to the console and I don't know how the Wii can possibly match it.
Yeah, cops abuse their power. But I guarantee that there is far less abuse under police unions than without them. You have a high threshold to prove it otherwise.
You said it yourself...
In fact, any locus of power brings corruption to it.
The more it is consolidated, the more corrupt it becomes.
When that happens, we're all going to be unemployed because the guy who owns the company is going to realize labor is cheaper overseas, and instead of just the call center, suddenly the whole company is going to India or China or whereever the execs aren't demanding stupidly expensive perks.
Don't focus on the abuses of power, that always happens.
That's like telling me not to worry about all the bad cops. "It's cool, there's a whole bunch of other people who will get shot before you!" If there weren't unions, it would be easy to out those abusers of power. Instead the abuses have been rampant enough that there's entire police dramas focused on the politics of the thin blue line, or the wire, or those hiding behind the shield... Or the MPAA. Or the RIAA. Are they not unions?
The fastest way to send jobs overseas is to unionize them. The only unions I can think of that haven't outsourced themselves are the miners and truck drivers, because they're actually location dependent. IT jobs are not now, and never will be, location dependent.
Not quite. I'm a college grad with a BS in computer science and I got so sick of contracting/outsourcing cycle between trying to raise a family and pay off college debt that quit programming entirely. I'm making good, stable money being a Linux/Solaris sysadmin, which they haven't been able to outsource because someone has to spec, receive, build, and load the OS onto the hardware. If you can physically get your hands on it, you win. All the developers who come up with new and innovative ways of crashing my boxes are outsourced, but it keeps me employed.
THERE'S NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET.
IT'S JUST HOW IT WORKS.
Your traffic badmouthing comcast might just be passed through a comcast router, or whatever have you. That's just how it works - you have very little control over your route on the internet. So until you come up with your own ISP, you're screwed.
if only he had used canadian antidepressants! I am sure I could find the mail somewhere which had extremely good rates from a company called International Pharmacy.
How about running the game under emulation? It used to only be a complaint from the WINE and classic gaming crowds, now that MS is shoving Vista down everyone's throats, it's going to be a lot more common. The same for a "key" disk. Nothing pisses me off to no end like a game which won't run without a having the CD in my drive. Nevermind that as a sysadmin, I would much rather have a second battery in my expansion bay rather then the DVD drive.
There's two very good, real world reasons for you.
The summary HAS the context. You're grasping at straws that aren't there.
Complete and utter failure unless you agree totally with the editorial process of the paper. This is like talking about the Linux kernel with KDE screenshots.
Of course they do. You ever hear of these things called warrants? Subpoenas? How about due process?
Wow. Simply wow. Which part of the word "accountable" did you miss? Or do you not understand "justify"?
No, you ignorant boob. The point of having a Bill of Rights is to prevent abuses from happening in the first place, not to punish government officials after the fact.
Please be explaining how the bill of rights operates lightswitches. I suppose we could somehow fold it up and tape it over the cops lights and sirens. It's nice to know you enjoy a society where people are presumed guilty until proven innocent and we have some kind of precrime unit assigned to prevent crime before it's committed.
The more I read of your mental abortion, the more I realize you don't understand the idea of accountability. You're accountable after the fact unless you're some kind of 1/3rd of a psychic trio.
For one, linking to a news summary of a publicly available testimony is why slashdot sucks nowadays.
The second laughable problem is that the FBI shouldn't need to justify the emergency. The director is correct. But they should be held accountable to what's done in such an emergency. If a police officer turns on his lights and sirens simply to run a red light and causes an accident, you get a fat check! The FBI doesn't need to demonstrate that it has an actual emergency, but does need to be held accountable to what it's done after the fact. The same concept applies to anyone or anything else. The cops don't pull you over randomly in your car and ask if you've been speeding because you aren't guilty until it's observed. You don't get shaken down on the street for assault and battery because you have a baseball bat.
This is why slashdot has gone to the dogs. Without linking to the original context of the testimony, you can't possibly hope to have any meaningful discussion. DON'T YOU LOVE SPIN?
Slashdot Mirror
He succeeded, sort of. But he died testing the version that was supposed to "fly" under rocks.
Did they finally decide to network both computers there or what?

How about you fucking kill yourself because it's worthless partisan hacks such as yourself who ruin politics for everyone?
I think you're missing the bigger picture. The person or organization who buys it probably doesn't have any intention of breaking any stories.
yawn, call me when it happens.

Hopefully. For a closeted homosexual such as yourself I will open a ticket in our Ministry of Bugs.

oops.
Out of context reactionary posting does not make a well thought out argument. Please reread my post past the first sentence.

wait wait wait
your computer is in a house
the house's windows are made of glass
therefor only things made of glass are window managers, such as glassfish
I wouldn't want a window made of plasma!
OK, you tell me what happens to applications when you fire up X along with an application of your choice that isn't a window manager.
X is not a window system, it's a display system.
KDE is a windowing system, as is GNOME.
