Whoa whoa whoa. You had to go too far. We were just talking about good natured stalking, but you had to change the discussion towards something unsavory.
I suppose you're right. But what use are guns in a revolution anyway? If you're going to wage a revolution against a Western nation (or at least the United States), guns are not going to be of much use against the immense military power the government holds. You'll probably need to go with some sort of more bomb-intensive program of asymetrical warfare: placing bombs in major government areas and the like. And bombs, besides not being traditionally classified as "arms" in the Constitutional sense, aren't terribly hard to make.
Gun bans are not a major obstacle in the way of a revolutionary. When you commit revolution, you will always break laws. Breaking the gun ban is minor compared to the ban on killing government officials.
As you refresh, you see that there is a new article loaded. "New Star Trek Movie by John Waters." No posts have yet been posted.s

"Ain't it cool news has reported that John Waters has said at an interview in Entertainment Weekly that he is 'very interested' in making a Star Trek movie." I wouldn't mind at all, says michael.

You fail it.
While posting that utterly brilliant article, a grue has broken into your parents' basement. He is currently chewing on your leg. An ambulance is headed for your house, but it gets stuck in traffic.
No, gold's value came from scarcity. In most regions of the ancient world, gold-mining proceeded at such a low rate that the total available gold was nearly a constant quantity.
Yes, but if nobody cared about Gold, Gold would be far less scarce because scarcity isn't the same as just being rare. Scarcity means having less than would be enough to fuffill everyone's desires. If nobody wanted Gold, it would be far less scarce, in the economic sense of the term.
Although I'll agree that Gold is not actually fiat money. Besides the fact that you can't get more without trying really hard (although you can get more) Its value doesn't come from a formal government, but from society itself, like the post-fiat money mentioned in the essay. Like the Saddam Dinars, Gold has little inherent value, but instead derives its value from society's belief that it has value.
Gold is practically fiat money itself. I mean, for most of human history Gold has had little practical value. Except for its value as currency, most of it's value came from fashion and other accidents of culture. (Although nowadays you can use Gold for its electrical conductivity and relative non-reactivity.) Gold was valuable because other people said it was valuable.
Although it is a helluva lot easier to print money than it is to mine gold.
No, Anime is fairly popular in Japan. Although there's a definite stigma against "otaku," or the smelly obsessive losers. I can't say that people automatically think otaku are rapists. They might imagine them to be pedophiles, but not "active" pedophiles.
Witch Hunter Robin and FLCL are pretty good. Although neither are being aired at the moment. And I'm pretty sure they're gonna be airing GitS Stand Alone Complex, which I've heard is good.
The IOCCC is a sort of piece of classic Hacker culture. That is to say, doing something difficult and mildly amusing just because you can. Also, to make fun of C for having such a ridiculous syntax as compared to sensible languages like Lisp. (Although by this day and age we've all grown up and seen Perl, so we don't care about that as much.)
Anyway, this is not merely "bad code," in the sense that an idiot might program this stuff. This is the sort of code you can only attain when you actively aim for it. You really need to know the language well to know how to fuck with it so thoroughly.
Actually, it's been well established while that schools can't [i]force[/i] the Pledge. Although of course I agree with you that the Pledge is awfully spooky when you really think about it.
No, they were saying that Public Schools cannot encourage class recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance because the "under God" bit is clearly a promotion of theism, and the Government isn't allowed to promote religion, due to the 1st amendment. (With help from the 14th.) People can still say the Pledge all they want, but Government-run schools can't encourage you to, because then you'd have the government getting involved in religion.
Well I suppose the real problem is that I sorta skimmed the story and as a result I didn't really feel any particular dislike towards the husband and his younger girlfriend. I suppose if I had read it properly, and realized that the husband was indeed an ass, I probably would've cracked a smile.

Uh, yeah... that wasn't in the original article. Tami bought it for her church group, not for her transsexual group.
And guns can only kill one person at a time. Unarmed jet liners, on the other hand, can kill many people at once.

Why would Slashdot post a story about economic theory? Only nerds care about stuff like that. No, Gilligan's Island is what the Slashdotters want.
Not all Anime fans are Otaku. Casual fans are not otaku.
Dragonball Z is to Anime as Poison Sandwiches are to Food.

I am fairly certain the IOCCC was founded with the explicit purpose of mocking C.

Why? Governments that are run by humans are prone to corruption. Governments run by robots are merely prone to error.

Actually, the Internet is 21. That's when The Network was officially switched over to TCP/IP.

After painstakingly removing the words "what the fuck does that mean" and "office space" from my Google search, I found good explanation
It (more or less) means the printer thinks you don't have the right kind of paper.
Uh... no.
