    In Soviet Russia, old iPhones make a Beowulf cluster of YOU and Natalie Portman! With hot grits down your pants.

    People aren't robots. They don't respond well to your black-and-white, 0 and 1 false dilemmas. Try reading a Dale Carnegie book or something.

  3. Forced medication on Judge Orders Release of Ex-Marine Detained Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most Slashdotters are for mandatory vaccinations, so why would you ever be against forced medication? Clearly, these people are a danger to society.

    We're oppressing the majority of people for a select few? Doesn't sound very democratic. I though progressives were trying to increase democracy.

    Other countries are also amazed that we don't have a state religion, ban all weapons, or persecute Muslims and Scientologists.

    You're attacking a straw man. Only truly extreme wackjobs actually believe natural selection doesn't happen. Natural selection is compatible with biblical beliefs and can be observed within a generation.

    Those other children who got measles hadn't been vaccinated, correct?

    Incorrect, the most common form of transmission worldwide is vertical transmission, from mother to child at birth. Vaccines prevent this

    So we could test the mother for hep B and postpone the vaccine if she's negative, right?

    Please explain for all the stupid people in the room how, if student A is vaccinated but student B is not, that this will make student A sick.

    "Your freedom to swing your arm ends at my nose."

    This means the exact opposite in this context unless you can prove that an unvaccinated individual can make a vaccinated one sick.

    Yes, because just calling people stupid solves all problems. I'm sure they will all be shamed into complying now.

    No, no! You have to save that change for later. You change the GOTO 10 to GOTO 20 and release it in the new version as a "performance enhancement".

    In Pennsylvania, that is not the case. You send in the potential fine plus $7 as your bond. If you win, you get it all back. I hope this is common among the states, because charging you to defend your innocence is definitely a violation of the right to not have your property taken without due process.

    I take it buses run out to rural areas all around the world, just in case someone needs a ride? Doesn't sound very cost-effective.

    Are you assuming the GP poster is an alcoholic? Because your "science experiment" does nothing to test the hypothesis that alcoholics have a tolerance for alcohol if he's not.

    People respond differently at different BACs. Some people are NOT impaired at .08, while some are impaired at .04 as you found. The science needs to improve.

    I'm impressed that you can memorize half a dozen or more turns in a trip to an unfamiliar location, but most of us can't. That means that we're still taking our eyes off the road to look at notes. That's not being "lazy" or "mentally dull", despite your elitist mentality.

    The cost of a ticket from NY to SF is NOT $363. It's at least $500 when they're done charging you for your two bags and the drink you had to pay for because they wouldn't let you bring one on board.

    The Japanese raping Filipinos to death, bayoneting pregnant Chinese, and burning entire towns because one person gave them crap comes a really close second.
