Wrong. The liberals happily supported Kucinich, but gritted their teeth and did their best when it came to Obama and Clinton, because they know the game is rigged. The only people who 'loved' them were status-quo centrists. Or, as they were known back in the 50s, Republicans.
The entire point of a business is to provide goods and services for money. Otherwise you're running an NPO.
No, the real world's not binary like that. Plenty of people running businesses not just (or not at all) for the money. Yes, the balance sheet at the end of every month needs to be right, but there's a huge difference between lots of profit, and enough to get by.
LOL, Newt's got even less chance of being prez than Palin does. Romney or Pawlenty will be the GOP candidate in '12, if they decide Obama's weak enough.
If you want to get started right, you have to join private leagues to get a jump on everyone else, and you have to play each year and go to private training camps. All this is out of your own pocket.
A guy I worked with years ago when I was doing sales was frequently the company CEO's golf partner because of his serious skills at the game. When I asked him why, if he was anywhere near as good as everybody was saying he was, he didn't go pro and the simple answer is that skill alone won't do it. He explained that between the outlay (green fees+equipment+travel) he'd have to make, and the time he'd start recouping it was just too high for him.
No, trying to shoehorn human beings, far from logical creatures, into simple boolean constructs is self-defeating. Otherwise, politics would be much simpler and much more boring.
Er, I'm pretty sure religion is an effect rather than a cause here
And where did I say otherwise?
If you manage to drive someone away from a religion without doing anything about the not-thinking, they'll just end up at some other religion or pseudo-religion.
Like GP, you're correct, but still misleading. For example, someone going from Scientology to, say, Catholicism would be a good thing. Now, no "problem" has been solved, but the batshit ideas this person believes in will be slightly less batshit.
One more time: Not all delusions are equal. Geeks treating the real world like some sort of math problem is a reductive and mostly pointless exercise.
Another typical geek post: You're completely correct, yet you've managed to minimize the actual real-world, longstanding phenomenon of using a a very particular type of non-thinking and elevating it massively above other forms of non-thinking. You're all theory and no impact.
True, but you're missing a couple of things. One: Right-wingers already had their confirmation bias fulfilled by the official explanation (brown people around the world are out to destroy America the Beautiful), so they were always extremely unlikely to start asking any questions.
Second, there's lots of conservatives who consider themselves Truthers. I've yet to meet any lefties who are birthers. Or, in other words, not all delusions are the same.

who registered themselves as Democrats
Liberals != Democrats.
Thanks for playing.

You forgot your sarcasm tag. It's a testament to Bush's awfulness that yet another centrist, milquetoast suit was hailed as liberal saviour.
DHS to Judge: Enjoy your time on the no-fly list, sucker!
Not many companies tell their shareholders that they `just want enough to get by`.
Correct, but that's not the point.
Do you have some examples?
Yep. My small business.
The point, in general, is this: There are many was to run a business. Just because 99% do it a very specific way doesn't mean it's the only way.
I would have wished for a stripper factory!
You're surrounded by them. They're called high schools.
I'm saying that supporting millions of different hardware configurations does
And a large portion of that hardware is nominally standards-compliant. Not saying you're wrong, but it's a monitor lizard, not Godzilla.

Then you should get your wish. The co-op mode is supposed to involve you playing as evolved bots.
Probably. I mean at least some of the stem cell tourists must be getting to their destinations via DC-8's, right?

Welcome to slashdot. Sorry about Pudge, he's like that with everyone. Every village has to have its resident asshole.
See, there you go using logic. Don't do that. It makes the politicians and the businessmen afraid.
What world do you live in? Obviously they're Too Big To Fail, and need to be bailed out to the tune of 1.5 trillion.
A bit early to be making predictions, isn't it?
Not when the GOP's in the mess it's in now, no it isn't.
LOL, Newt's got even less chance of being prez than Palin does. Romney or Pawlenty will be the GOP candidate in '12, if they decide Obama's weak enough.
And? The developer obviously wanted ~75% of the effect, instead of 100% but with doubled costs. What's your point?

Kinda like what TFA talks about.

Hahaha he should totally do the voice. But I'd go with Channing Tatum for the lead.
That would be nice. Then I'd have an excuse to skip the movie. Seriously, that dude makes Keanu look like Marlon Brando.
Nice. Why is everybody an AC in that thread? I thought they had accounts by that point in /.'s history.
For example, separation of church and state? A bias against good ol' fashioned Christian values.
Velvety flamebait, indeed. +1.
