Here's my point if I can get past Slashdot's blocks...
There are MORE important "evils" than a goddamn software company.
People are being thrown out of their homes for NO REASON other then a clerical error or because they were suckered by the American Dream of getting rich - in real estate in this case.
Micrsoft is smal potatoes by today's standards.
Actually they wre always small potatoes but some dorks made their software the center of their lives. Good Grief! Get a fuckign grip! MS can have a 100% monopoly on software and it'll only affect 1% of my life... BFD!
You're confused why a news site for nerds isn't discussing evil financial companies?
I've driven through Nevada plenty of times. Where is this tillable land of which you speak?
I didn't say anything about tillable land. I implied there's a serious amount of open space there. Raise cattle, setup greenhouses. Whatever. People are complaining about lack of food-space. There's space--how much money do you want to invest in it?
An app that encourages gay people to not be gay is hardly bashing, even if you don't approve of the underlying assumptions.
You mean an app based on the idea that homosexuality is immoral, and that such people need to be "fixed" is not gay bashing??
Would you be equally against someone releasing an app to try and stop people from smoking?
Either everyone is entitled to their beliefs and practices as long as they are not harming other people, or they aren't--at least that's how it's supposed to be in America.
If I stand here and say "I think homosexuality is wrong", does it harm you? No. To (probably poorly) quote Jefferson: It neither picks your pocket or breaks your leg.
Work is lying to you. ObamaCare does nothing more than allow you to buy insurance from a private company.
Oh, well thank God for Obama then--because I was utterly powerless to buy insurance from private companies before he came along...
And "Beck, Palin and other nut jobs" have about as much do do with my knowledge of the government/healthcare relationship as Rachael Maddow does with my knowledge of the duck-billed platypus...
Having a domain like SUN.com! Just think of the internet street cred!
Yo dog! I'm at owner@sun.com!
And what would you do with sun.com? Start some sort of internet busin&@!%&*#%OHFUCK I already have a cease and desist letter from Oracle saying they still own the trademark 'Sun' in relation to all computer everything. Your best bet it so open Sun Bakery and sell cook#@&$*!DAMNIT! Cookies are computer related too.
Ok--here's the plan:
Step 1: Buy sun.com for millions
Step 2: Find out you can't start a computer company named 'Sun' or Oracle will sue you into oblivion.
Step 3: Kill yourself because you are millions in debt with a worthless domain name.
...yeah, about that. Work just notified me that due to the Obamacare bullshit the rate to cover my family jumped from about $600/mo to over $1,000/mo. Thanks Obamacare.
They also said 2011 would be the year of Linux on the desktop!
They also said that Linux is still for faggots.
While your statement is true, it is a very narrow subset of who Linux is for. Linux is also for midgets, Asians, Christians, elves, drug traffickers, airline pilots, geeks, dentists, evil geniuses, Pixair, etc... I think you are trying to be inflammatory...
Well, I'd not be surprised that much about audio codec vulnerabilities than about the possibility to use the radio to attack other parts of the car. The radio should be a self-contained unit which apart from speaker cables and power supply has no connection to the rest of the car.
See--this is why I run Linux^H^H^H^Hconvert all my downloaded to music to.wav files. It filters out the viruses from all that high-tech new-fangled high tech MP3 stuff.
As to "sex is marriage", what a silly statement, were this true, it would be impossible to commit fornication as sex itself establishes the marriage.
Fornication is having sex with a woman and pretending it doesn't make you married. Adultery is having sex with a woman who is already married to (had sex with) someone else.
As to "Go find a priest" statement, it is true, no command to find a priest to perform a marriage ceremony, but get married to avoid fornication is the clear meaning of 1 Cor 7:1-2.
Hardly. It is a command to marry a woman rather than commit the act of fornication.
And none of them can tell me where in the Bible it says "No sex before marriage"
1 Corinthians 7 mentions it several times, nor is that the only place. While it's true that most Catholic ritual has no Biblical basis, the restrictions on sexual contact are quite clear.
It's plain as day--it says that you need a wife to avoid fornication. Where does the Bible tell you how you get a wife? I have never once seen a scripture that says "Go find a priest, he will marry you, and you have avoided fornication." Sex is marriage.
The Bible proscribes fornication several times. Obviously, if you were alone on a desert island you could only have a monogamous relationship or remain celibate.
So is marriage a function of the church? If it is, you're a 'sinner'. If it's not, what makes you married?
Sex is marriage. Remember Mary the prostitute? Jesus said 'You have many husbands'.
Why post anonymously? It's not like a slashdot author couldn't look at the apache logs for your IP... Hell, they probably have it built in to their admin interface.
I wonder why religions even have made sex to look like a bad thing.
Control. Why else?
Right.
And none of them can tell me where in the Bible it says "No sex before marriage", just like none of them can tell me where it says a priest (*cough*catholics*cough*) must absolve me of my sins.
I always use the desert island example. If I was stranded on a desert island, could I still be 'saved'? If I'm stranded on a desert island with a girl, could we get 'married'?
The Biblical answer is 'yes', but the 'religious' answer is 'no' because they want you to go to their churches, tithe money, hear their interpretation, etc...
Forget learning to read. My son was signing at 6 months old. Not real well--but he could communicate what he wanted well enough.
Kids are able to pick up on sign language and communicate before they are able to properly form vocal sounds.

You cannot farm in an arid environment 5,000 feet above sea level.

When 30% of our food doesn't even get eaten?
Or when you can drive for something like 6 hours through Nevada and see nothing but empty land that could be used for farming...
They do, Elmo will teach them the beauty of sharing.

This is why we need the govt to keep funding PBS.

Most banks had near record profits in 2010.
I'm sure there are a *ton* of banks out there--but this list says more than a few didn't have record profits...
See above. Delusional.
