I don't use my tool as often as I did when I was younger. There may come a day in a few years when I won't use it at all, except for draining the bladder.
I'm 'osting' this comment. Must be osting because I can't see the 'P'. Hey, I wear bifocals and I really need to push the text size to something bigger than 5 points.
Can't meta-moderate. Can anybody?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Read it, learn it, live it.
I've had to stop using Charter's webmail because of crap like this. Some of us like to be able to actually SEE what we're reading! Guess I'll have to stop reading slahsdot, too.
Congress told them they didn't have the power they claim to have and the people told them not to do it. Maybe the FCC should come back down to Earth and face reality.
Yep, it is a load of bunk. I grew up shying away from religion and studying my science courses. In my mid twenties I would have argued against the existence of God. I was so cold and logical that I would have made Spock look emotional.
After raising two children, losing my wife ten years ago, and looking forward to my 58th birthday next month, I do believe in a higher power. Nothing else makes sense. I learned that science is very good at explaining how, but falls on its face when it comes to why. Do you know why you exist?
Did the gene wait years before activating? Or did I just take years to learn what life is all about?
The timing is perfect if we want the bill defeated. Surely Congress will show some intelligence this time. Of course, based on their previous boondoggles, I'm not very optimistic. You know how power hungry they can be.
Oh, this was actually discussed last year, but it is just now being introduced. Don't any of you watch the news?
We wouldn't have to replace all the oil we use to have an effect on the price. Even if we could produce half of what we use, the price would fall. Also consider that other countries would be using the technology and that would further the price decline.
Oh, and an acre is 63.6 meters by 63.6 meters, not 20x20.
That may be, but I see mistakes by "professional" journalists and reporters in newspapers. We recently had the BBVA Compass Bowl played here in Birmingham. Sure enough, the headline called it "BVAA Compass Bowl". I'm sure the bank was not at all happy about that.
A few years ago the same newspaper had a story on the front page about a typhoon and the large (72 point) headline called it a thypoon.
Never depend on your computer's spell check function. Spelling takes practice and using your mind, not a computer's mind.
I like the status bar at the bottom, but my number one requirement is the option to not have the tabs at the top. I may be the only one in the world who likes my Windows task bar hidden at the top of my display (where God intended it to be!). Moving the pointer up to the top to click on a tab usually means going too close and making the task bar drop down. Having a menu bar and links bar with the tab bar under them makes that less likely.
It's true. Democracies don't really ever work. That's why our founders set up a republic. Back then "democrat" was a bad word, almost an insult. To many it still is.
Tears can't hold a candle to vomit when it comes to killing the mood. Back when I was in college one of my dates threw up while we were making out in bed. We had both been drinking, but apparently she had had way too much. It ruined the sheets and bedspread, and even went all over the floor.
Actually, meter readers working in pairs is not a bad idea in some neighborhoods. One can cover the other while he's walking around behind the house.
I'm not union, but I am in favor of keeping meter readers. They are the eyes, ears, and noses of the utility departments, especially water and gas. With so many systems going to radio-read meters nowadays, nobody looks at the meter on a regular basis. <shock>Did you know that customers sometimes steal service?</shock>
you haven't been watching enough A&E (aka the law enforcement channel). There are so many "how-to" crime programs on television nowadays it makes me wonder if the powers that be don't actually want us to be criminals.
Good luck keeping cool in a busy drive-thru at lunch on a 100 degree day.
The vehicle I work out of idles nearly all day while creeping along at about 1.5 mph. In fact, I have to ride the brake to keep from going too fast down even a slight hill. We wouldn't buy one at any price.

Would you be willing to buy my gas for me at that price?
My penis is so large now from all these various treatments that I can barely walk.

Call the gas company. We frown on people putting shit on our gas meters. Believe me, that stuff will be gone in no time.
I've seen worse, though. I found a lightning rod grounded to a metal gas service. Thankfully we found it and had it removed before lightning hit it.
Hardly. The "dark side" of the moon gets as much illumination as the side we see. We call it "dark" because we can't see it from Earth.
You sure you're a geek?
If they did, it would make for one hell of a safari. Imagine hunting one of those beasts, but spears only, just like the old days when I was young.
Anybody got some good mammoth recipes?

You can add John the Apostle to that list, according to John 21:21-23.
Or, at least he may be around until the Second Coming.
they have an app for that.
Barely.
The U.S. is the new Soviet Russia.

You go, girl!
You misunderstood the statement. Therefore your response makes no sense. Read it again and see the disconnect.
Many of you here want this same corrupt, incompetent government in charge of your health care. That's just unreal. Enjoy!
That pretty much describes everybody on slashdot - a few far right, a shitload far left, and almost none in the middle.
