I think the real problem here is not that he's dishonest, or a jerk. Put simply, he's just fucking stupid. So stupid, in fact, that he can't even understand the holes in his argument.
You see, this is what you get when you let cousins fuck...
"We were told going into Fallujah that every single person going into the combat area that was walking, talking, breathing was an enemy combatant. . . It seemed like just a massive killing of Arabs. It looked like just a massive killing. . . Burned bodies. Burned children. Burned women. White phosphorus kills indiscriminately."
This is from the statement by a Marine who served in Fallujah. Elsewhere in the article, there is a discussion of the continued nighttime shelling of the city with WP. How can that be anything but indiscriminate?
And how about this:
"Bogert is a mortar team leader who directed his men to fire round after round of high explosives and white phosphorus charges into the city Friday and Saturday, never knowing what the targets were or what damage the resulting explosions caused. . . they ran through the drill again and again, sending a mixture of burning white phosphorus and high explosives they call "shake 'n' bake" into a cluster of buildings where insurgents have been spotted all week."
I've had this exact same problem with Chase. I closed an account with them; a few months later, Virgin Mobile decided to charge me for some pay-as-you-go airtime, despite the fact that I had deleted my CCard info from my Virgin account a while before. Chase honored this transaction and sent me a bill. I had to yell very loudly at both of them.

Riding a bicycle through a few feet of snow just doesn't work for me. Thanks for your input, though.
I have old wiring plus a ham radio operator next door. So, to be on the safe side, I had my electrician put Cat 6 into every room. Now I have mythtv frontends all round the house, with the server in the basement...
You're missing the point that most of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are ethnically English. ('British' is not an ethnicity, despite the misconceptions of most of the inhabitants of North America).
When one is ethnically English, one does not speak 'British English'. One simply speaks English. Everything else is a derivative dialect. It's as simple as that.
You may not be the only one, but that doesn't mean you're not wrong. I'm currently working on using NVIDIA GPUs w/ CUDA to do seismic modeling of massive, luminous stars. The fact that the drivers are closed-source doesn't count for shit.
No, the Queen of Canada is Canadian. The Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is British. The Queen of Australia is Australian. Legally, they are three completely separate entities; they just happen to inhabit the same hot body (M'am).
I had problems with Charter, too; not only were they returning bogus responses for non-existent domain requests, their DNS servers are slow as fuck. So I set up my own caching server, which works fine.

Yes, but the liberals have the educated people, and the educated people can build tactical nukes.

So, sir, fuck you.

In Fortran (note: not all caps, hasn't been that way since before 1995), there are no reserved words.
Fortran: the strawman of programming languages since... well... forever!
Load the whole OS into ramdisk at bootup. Then have fun.

AA fonts weren't even impressive in 1996 -- RISC OS had them by the early 90's.
Wrong. The most difficult part of building a fission bomb is acquiring the fissile materiel. The rest, relatively speaking, is pretty straightforward.
And how much time did you spend filling up your car? Your time is valuable, too.

Yeah -- but its summer down at the South Pole right now!
I'm sorry, you've mistaken Slashdot for a place frequented by educated people. Your humor sits alone in the dark...
Add to that the fact that the Xmas parties in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UDel are known to suck. Big time.

You forgot to write 'Simonyi, PhD'. Remember, PhDs are difficulty to get, and people with them are important.

Heck you can do far more broader things with a business degree or an MBA than you can with a degree in CS.
I'm curious as to the subject of your degree. It obviously wasn't English.
Well, they would count as broken in my book; what if I had a target named 'love'?
