Follow the law, do the right thing and you will have my respect. Don't and I will keep my gun very handy.
Good luck against 100 armed police, and a plethora of news networks reporting how an evil madman was shot dead by the valiant defenders of law and order.
We recently had a massive controversy in the UK over a sprinter named Dwain Chambers. He was condemned utterly by virtually everyone involved in UK athletics for taking drugs to enhance his performance. Personally I think they were too harsh on the guy, but that seems to be the current attitude of athletics bodies towards 'unfair' advantages - crucify anyone involved. With that in mind, I think it's pretty two-faced to congratulate this guy and wish him good luck in the Olympics (if he gets there).
... and Presidents of the United States generally take pride from rising above the belief that these things exist, rather than from pronouncing to the world how strong their faith in them is.
To be fair, I've never quite understood how you Americans accept a road system that places oncoming cars, sometimes going at a combined speed of 140MPH, within about a foot of each other going in the opposite direction. Here, we have a thing called a central reservation. That means that if you veer off the fast lane, you crash into a barrier, not another car. Not having one seems downright stupid.
When it was announced that MySQL would be releasing some features in MySQL Enterprise and not in the community edition the original Slashdot headline was "Sun to close MySQL" or something similar.
Then Mickos (former CEO of MySQL AB and SVP of Sun Database group) comes here and says that it was MySQL's plan to do this before the acquisition by Sun and that it was in fact Sun who wanted them to release everything to the community. And if Sun had their way it would.
So now that Sun convinces Mickos to change his strategy the headline is "MySQL Reverses Decision On Closed Source"
HAHAHAHAHA
See, Slashdot's like an omelette. We have a combination of sausage and ham and tomatoes and eggs and more. By 8PM, we want to have an omelette worth eating. And if it's not... sometimes we have to whip out the Tabasco sauce.
Given that the code is Free, having it under the control of someone who is not a complete sociopath can't help but the increase uptake of the novel parts of the ReiserFS structure.
I had no idea that sociopathic nasties were so damn good at designing filesystems until now! Seriously, I'm waiting on tenterhooks for MugabeFS. It's gonna be the best thing yet.
If you write on a friend's facebook wall about how you got this "killer deal on pot" or how you "got this totally awesome handjob from a local hooker" and police find out and charge you, it's your own damn fault for being an idiot.
Actually, it's the law's fault for making these harmless actions crimes.
No way, craigslist is really complicated and has things like colours, and changes underlines when you mouseover links, that distract horribly from the information. My award for sticking with what works goes to gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/
Where I work flash is blocked from installing, my morning routine used to be to open Dilbert and have a read while some of the other apps I use slowly load.
There's an easy solution to this - just walk into your boss's office every morning and say something that parses gramatically, but makes no actual sense to him. Wait for his reaction, then say another such sentence. Again, wait for his reaction, walk out, and mutter something silly to yourself. You've just recreated the Dilbert experience.
I'd rather take over another oil-rich country for that sort of investment.
Erm, why? The iraq war has crucified the US's standing in the world, helped to breed a new generation of anti-US terrorists, and resulted in the deaths of thousands of US troops. What possible reason could you have for wanting this over anything??

Do you count steroids as 'technology'? I do.

Bullshit. Bullshit. This argument has been fully debunked and it is utter bullshit. I can't believe I still see it on /. of all places.
You must be new here.

We'd all be stuck with member-funded PBS (not a bad proposition mind you, but you definitely wouldn't be watching American Gladiator).
:-P
Where's the catch?
You knew six people?
You forgot to mention how lightning-fast VBA is, and the fact that its intuative design encourages good coding practices.
Yep.
Things always look smaller in the mirror.
The analogy falls on it's face: as much as some corporations would like to believe, the internet is not a big store.
No, it's a big truck.

If what you 'spit out' looks anything like a little copy of yourself, i'd go see a doctor.
You know what I do when I can't afford something? I live without it.
:-)
Please tell me more of your ability to live without food and water.
Don't you know anything about software? That only happens at 2.0.
what if you need to rub one out?
Is that the latest 'hood slang for masturbation? Genuine question.
Nope, we can already represent numbers as high as we want in words.

I'm not normally this anal, but...
music is an abstract concept that can't be 'stolen'. That was copy(ies)of music.

"Police brutality!!!!"

I'd wager dollars to donuts that it isn't patented
Really? I'd be a bit more confident than that. Donuts are pretty expensive compared to the dollar nowadays...
