I was just skimming the thread, and saw a bunch of mundane nonsense, but this post, wow. I didn't click on the parent post until I saw it deconstructed. Nice work, all it proves is maybe 2.3% of males have admitted to dating a same-sex partner in a survey in the past decade, maybe.
It leaves an interesting margin of error all the way around. Thank you/., (Score:5, Informative) could mean something again. I wish I had mod points today.
A while ago in Buffalo NY I had a cop tell me it was illegal to swear at a police officer. (I answered a question, "Fuck no.)
He was getting ready to handcuff me when another officer asked him to talk. A minute later, the second officer told me to not be an ass, but let me go.
Fortunately most cops aren't dumb like that, but a few are.
I'd have to be. I posted here a while back about a stolen computer. As a result I ended up working with the FBI and local police to recover the systems, so I can now have my real life matched to this account.
Add to that, from this account you can find plenty of other information about me, but nothing too crazy. Why?
I know how Google works. I don't get into politics, or anything else that could be questionable to an employer, the FBI, or whoever because it's too easy to link someone to other things.
Then again, with a name like Dave Hogan (about 2 or 3 links related to me in 25 pages on Google) or even David P Hogan, you get more false positives about me (other than my web site) than you do real ones.
You might even find my MySpace page, but it's private, so I'm not too worried.
Or the government can use some of the $20 bil they made from the deal to both help the poor people who can't afford one, and use it as an incentive so that I'll keep my 20" CRT bedroom TV instead of throwing it into a landfill and replacing it with an HD LCD with a digital tuner.
The cable companies can point out how many customers don't have a choice, and will lose that channel (but not internet distribution of it.) We're getting to the point that the content delivery isn't so important, and that can be both good and bad for the cable companies, who are also ISP's.
Well, I'd say two of the points are significant hurdles Linux has to learn to overcome somehow.
I think the biggest problem Linux has is that it's advocates don't realize most users could care less about things like scripting, just don't ever get them near a command line.
Also, the geek perception is a problem.
A few weeks ago I had a friend at my house, and we were watching internet video off my Ubuntu system connected to my TV, and wanted to watch something on my other computer.
As I was browsing for the file she asked me why the computer didn't look normal. I explained it was running Linux, and her response was, "Well, that proves it. You're definitely a geek."
She knew Linux was another OS, but apparently to her Windows is the normal one, Mac is the artist/hipster one, and Linux is the geeky one.
Why?
Really, I'm curious why we can't trigger smaller eruptions if we know a bigger one will eventually happen.
I'm sure there are reasons it wouldn't work today, but are there reasons it couldn't ever?
They do have the Spruce Goose, and are becoming one of the hot things to see in the Pacific NW. It's not that far-fetched that they might be able to arrange to get a shuttle. It's something they've publicly been discussing for a few years now.

What about people who do tech support? Should we protect them as well?

But yet, keep snarking, it's really productive.
He was probably abducted by aliens.
There are companies that depended on A+ customer service that Dell just can't deliver. MPC was for us.

Viacom had to cave eventually. They can't win this battle too easily. I'm sure TWC made a few concessions, but they win this one easily I'd guess.
But really, this is not insignificant. We'll see much more of this in the coming years.
Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

So, up to 600,000? That's a buttload of bullets. I'll buy some fire, too.
You insensitive clod, I was raised by cannibal zombie overlords!
Happy New Year's Memes everybody!
It's still more secure than a WEP project.
Is there an ammo store in Portland open New Years Day? I was only planning on killing about 933 people, so I need more bullets.

So you get out the leaf blower. Problem solved, right?
Why are more utilitys not using something like what beacon power is doing.
I read that as "bacon power" and I just imagined the greasiest power plant ever.
The other question becomes how much do you spend on building new airports to move that many people?
Of course, because private companies like FedEx and UPS never could improve on the post office model that you mentioned.
Have you heard of news sites like /., Digg, or Fark? That's one way to find out about news that isn't presented to you by the big news corporations.

It's /., who doesn't have 3 or 4 browsers installed?
I used to love the original, I'll have to try this out.
