    Are you responding to me? I never said the constitution grants any rights.

    No, I mean that race-baiting trolls claim that it means black people were considered only 3/5 of a person, when it was meant to help protect the nation from the growth of slavery by reducing the power of slave states.

    The Votrax even worked on the 1 MHz, 8-bit, 5K RAM VIC-20. You could use it to read Scott Adams' adventure games to you. Tons of power was not needed for basic T2S.

    They fixed it by replacing Dalton with Brosnan (who, to be fair, was their first choice).

    If it wasn't for Reagan, most of the geeks on here would be in 50% tax brackets while the politicians and corporate giants would be using all those old loopholes to pay nothing. Oh yeah, and we'd probably have a permanently flat economy like Japan.

    I know you love the progressives and their wonderful programs, but really, telling a guy he can't eat the food he grew is much worse. You're depriving a citizen of his property.

    Do yourself a favor and research the history of slavery in the USA before you post again. It was implied that the People could sell non-free persons, not states. Slave owners could demand their escaped slaves be returned to them; that's where the states' rights came in. Black people were not considered property; slaves were. Of course, there were times when crooks claimed a free black was an escaped slave.
    That is how the Constitution works, and it still bears the scars of our sins.

    Do we really need a constitutional amendment to clarify that yes, people are actually people?

    Yes, actually we did. We even have amendments to clarify that the freedoms of speech, religion, and self-defense are freedoms, but people try to take them away every day.
    The history of civil rights is too long and complex to argue about on Slashdot. Most of what people think they know about slavery is wrong, because they were taught lies in school. For example, the 3/5 rule for representation.

    Let's face it: this was all based on failed FDR fascist policies that caused people to starve just so the President could tinker with the economy.

    This may be a shocker, but they're goofing off at work, too. That's what I mean about incompetent managers: unproductive employees should be evident whether they're visible or not.

  15. Re:Causality on America's Cubicles Are Shrinking · · Score: 2

    If companies want to save money, they should be eliminating the cubicles and setting up the policies, procedures and infrastructure to have large numbers of employees work from home. It's green and it keeps most employees happier. Besides certain jobs that are obviously well suited for office work, the only barrier to having employees work from home now is the paranoid, incompetent middle manager.

  16. Re:ISPs only on Fourth Amendment Protects Hosted E-mail · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I'm with George Washington here, who said that government is not reason, it is force. "Like fire, it makes a dangerous servant and a fearful master." If a President of the United States says that, do you really think we should trust any government-- even one that appeared to be actually obeying the Constitution-- with our security?

  17. Re:The way to play Commander Keen authentically... on 20 Years of Commander Keen · · Score: 1

    Quake required a Pentium class computer with a FPU. Yes, there was a Pentium compatible called the NexGen that didn't have an FPU. Also, while a P-60 could run the game pretty well, my Cyrix M1 at 100 MHz could barely handle it because the FPU wasn't much better than a 486's.

    "No child left behind" and the Medicare prescription benefit are not conservative policies.

    Too bad Michael Moore only likes to expose the huge corporations he doesn't have stock in. He's also not very good at actual fact checking. Assange could give him supposed state secrets written with crayon on a piece of construction paper and as long as it agreed with his world view, he'd buy it.
