I agree the article is quite poor. One of his "solutions" is to remove all the vowels from troll posts after determining their IP address - wow the trolls must be quaking in their boots! And have you seen his tiny word list I mean whats the point with such a small list? His other "solutions" involve manually approving posts.
I was hoping this might be some way of autmatically dealing with trolls.
The current scheme is very clever and works, get the poorest kids and tell them they can go to college if they join the army.
It works very well (in getting them in the first place at least). Now there are a couple of problems.
1) Young Kids are pretty irresponsible but even in the media challenged present day US they must have noticed there is a good chance they might be killed or maimed.
2) To continue the dominance of the middle east the US needs even more troops than it currently has out there. It cannot even hold iraq so the neo-cons plans for Iran (or whatever country israel complains about) dont have enough troops to be carried out. Of course note that while Israel supplies false information, inflammatory rhetoric and almost direct control over US international policy you will note it wont send its own soldiers.
So in short a draft is inevitable for future US plans.
No doubt the republicans will flip flop as soon as necessary - the public are too stupid to even notice. (like they havent noticed that every reason for invading iraq has turned out to be bogus).
Cannabis is not addictive. I was a tobacco smoker and it was very difficult to stop smoking for more than a few hours (as any tobacco addict knows).
I stopped smoking cannabis for 8 years and it didnt bother me. I took cannabis all day every day for a year and then stopped one day for three months with zero withdrawal symptoms.
As I am now older I take (not smoke) cannabis for pain relief. Its the herb that keeps giving:D
Hold on here, being against bush means you can never legitimately criticise him?
I hate hitler. If I was to point out some of his crimes would you just brush them off saying I am just some "political ideologue, with an anti-hitler paranoia".
Pigeon holing is a mental tool used by the ignorant to help them disregard information
He was pro peace and anti war. No doubt he was heavily monitored. Apparently his assasination was arranged by the US govt. Easy to believe since they think its ok to kill people they dont agree with.
Cinemas suck, morons cant sit and watch anything quietly. Its worse if they are kids or the kind of idiots who think taking a really young child (i.e of wailing age) to the cinema is a good idea.
One application has already been found. Valve have announced that Half Life 2 will be delayed by approximately 2 hundred thousand years due to these advances in vitrification.
Yes it might take 5500 wind turbines but I am sure they are very much easier to build than nuclear power stations and they dont produce a terrifying substance as waste, very big cost factor there.
Personally I think wind turbines are a great idea, ignore those who are whining because they dont want their house prices to go down because they can see some turbines in the distance.

I dont believe for a second that bush wrote any of that, he probably isnt even sure what the cup holder is for on computers.
It will be a democracy when you allow palestinians to vote.
Oh sweet fallacious logic.
Hey I have some elephant repellent here to sell you, it causes cancer but hey you dont see any elephants around here do you so it must work.
I think it ironic that you want the govt to be pro-life to suit your religious sensibilities yet want seperation of state and religion.
Watch the video and look at bush he unfolds a piece of paper quite clearly.
There is also a pic on the net taken from above that shows bush with a typewritten sheet on his podium.
Since you dont mind I am about to write a take down notice to your ISP and upstream provider.
Have fun!
I had the same problem I think its quotation marks or something..

I remember playing Queen backwards and heard "smoke marajuana". (*)
:)
;)
I was only a kid and I didnt feel an urge to go and do what they say.
Now I am older on the other hand I know exactly where they were coming from
(*) may be banned in USA due to draconian laws
Screenshot pastes fine into mspaint :)
It is enjoyable to see other countries currency.
Also odd that both feature the Queen Of England but are not english currency.
I wonder if in the future our decendents will see small references to the current strength of the USA and look on it in a similar way.
Its because of that damned liberal media! They are so liberal they ignore massive stories that are not in the current regimes interests.

ahhh the sweet irony of you posting that.
He was pro peace and anti war. No doubt he was heavily monitored. Apparently his assasination was arranged by the US govt. Easy to believe since they think its ok to kill people they dont agree with.
What makes you think he even knows what bitorrent is?
He was actually sending free copies of his DVD to any serviceperson abroad IIRC so he didnt "do nothing".
I'm in europe and we already have LOTS of online places to buy plastic gadget crap from without needing slashdot to advertise them.
Yeah I thought it might be a european thinkgeek but not even that - it seems to only sell crap.
There must be a few of you.

Is that what you would do when someone invades your country and kills your friends and family?
Get some balls.
Nvidia 5200 sounds great?
Only if you are upgrading from a 1mb trident.
But you might break somethings by upgrading perl outside of your OSes package management system.
