Maybe it's less about eliminating an "evil" game and more about ego-stroking. I mean, just look how many times "Jack Thompson" appears in the comments for this article.
Note that Clinton has said that the intelligence available to his administration when he left office indicated that Iraq was actively developing WMDs.
Nevertheless, I believe that the Bush Administration should have framed the Iraq War, when it first started, in the terms they frame it in now: Iraq refused to allow UN inspectors to do their jobs, despite numerous UN resolutions requiring it. In other words, Saddam could say he'd destroyed every last WMD until he's blue in the face, but we would never know one way or the other until Saddam acquiesced to full and unfettered inspections.
Here's an idea if Spamhaus ends up deciding to comply with removing e360 from their spammer list.
Create a "People Who Sued Us" list. Make this list functionally similar to the normal ROSKO list, allowing IT admins to choose to use the PWSU list for e-mail filtering purposes. Chances are that anyone on the PWSU list is a known spammer, since only a known spammer would have to resort to shady legal practices to get removed from ROSKO. However, the PWSU list is based only on the easily provable fact of someone suing Spamhaus, meaning that nobody on that list could complain that they were being treated unjustly.
I'd already posted in this thread, but going back in that user's prior posts, I found three others that were modded higher than -1, were still moddable, and were verbatim copies of other upmodded posts that had been posted about an hour earlier.
Actually, it's (c) overgeneralization on your part. Obviously, non-industrial nations don't count. The reason that pollution/GDP forms a better metric than pollution/capita is that the productivity of one nation often goes to support the people of another nation (American agriculture, for example).
Per dollar GDP, the US is nowhere near being the world's worst polluter. China and India both have far far worse pollution based upon that metric (which presumably is a better measure of productivity than the mere presence of a person), which is, of course, why the US chose not to participate in the Kyoto agreement.
You see, electricity is not the electrons themselves, but rather a wave of energy passing from one electron to the next as they collide with each other.
Well, this depends on what context you're talking about. In a metal conductor, you're absolutely right - an individual electron crosses a potential difference at a speed much much less (generally a fraction of a millimeter per second) than that of the effect of electricity (which is close to c). In a vacuum, when energy is imparted by a particle accelerator (such as the particle accelerator you are staring into right at this very moment), the electrons move much faster than they do in a conductor, and there are few particle collisions within the beam.
Of course, the energy imparted to the electrons that are flying at your face when you're looking at your monitor is in the keV range, many orders of magnitude less than the GeV we're talking about here. Still, they move fast enough when they strike the phosphor screen that relativistic effects are just beginning to creep up.

The morality of their actions is open to opinion. So-called "hate speech", for example, is not only not illegal in the US, but is actually protected by the US Constitution. While Brazilians obviously aren't governed by US law, it still shows that Google "protecting criminals" isn't necessarily a bad thing.
In TFA, Kalmaru says the opposite of what the article said, "What's funny in Shanghai isn't necessarily funny in Borås." Maybe it was a typo, maybe not.
Still, I think Kalmaru's generalization is a hasty one to make. Here's one tried-and-true example to the contrary, where it's just as funny even if you don't sprechen any Deutsch.

I've decided to stop buying EA products - even Spore.
This is the last straw for me as well. And I was really looking forward to Spore. *sniff*

"It's also worth pointing out that WorldNetDaily could be described as just wee bit conservative"
Was this comment absolutely necessary or even relevant to the story?
Yes. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the delicious hypocrisy of Slashdot accusing another website of political bias.
No kidding. The rest of us mere mortals have to wait until 0-day to pick up our free copies.

Sounds like Hans Reiser is really fsck'ed now.
One could almost say that they've been "keeping tabs" on the competition.
That pun stunk so bad I had to open a new window.
Ahh, the fun of mod points!

Redundants all around.
He can walk through walls, too! OMG
yes - YourTubes and MyTubes!
Strangely enough, though, they're still in beta.
This is where special software automatically exercises programs rapidly while looking for errors.
Maybe they should try hooking WGA up to this thing.

For example:

These and many others are available here.
And here I thought it was Scruffy.
Yes, but is that the P. Fry from Earth, or the P. Fry from Hovering Squid World 97-A?

I won't be impressed until they come up with a giant ring of superconducting magnets that can send things to other galaxies.
But how do you verify that the election results were legitimate, without the obviously-more-accurate exit polls to back you up?
Yes kudos to Google for protecting criminals.
