What's all this feel crap? I thought conservatives thought with their heads and only wimpy liberals talked about their feelings? Not to mention it's a complete non-sequitur...
The guy was/is the head of that office. He either didn't know about the corruption (as the frigging FEDERAL CIO for the country, that might be a think he'd be expected to know about corruption in his own office) or he was in on it.
So, you want omniscience from your department heads? Nice in theory, but the real world don't work that way.
Either way, for me, this is 100% a bad sign and should raise a huge red flag.
No surprises there. But my point is that this barely qualifies as news, let alone front page Slashdot material. Boring. lame. Just because it gets your juices flowing, don't expect me to get my panties all in a bunch as well, you weird deviant.
but if you deny it you are clearly trolling or obviously ignorant)
Speaking of disingenuous, you might also want to mention, in the interests of not trolling, of course, that the man was not convicted of any crime whatsoever and that thye word "Terrorist", thanks to the valiant efforts of team Bush, no longer has the same cachet it had 8 years ago.
No, it's not. AS TFS says itself, there's not one bit of dirt on the actual appointee, just two ex-subordinates.
Other Obama appointments might be big bags of fail, but so far, this one isn't. When he is, then GP can make his point. Otherwise, he's just a lazy and biased cunt like you are.
No shit. I am busting my everliving ass to get as many negative mods in this thread as I can, and some jackass comes along and mods me intersting. Trust me, you're nowhere near as unhappy as I am right now.
To answer your other questions, read my other posts around here.
Not, it's got nothing to do with Dems or Repubs. It's all in this sentence in TFS:
There was no indication that Doe was connected in any way to the FBI's raid, which was part of a bribery sting operation.
Which reduces this to a story about a couple of low-level employees getting arrested over nothing. Which is about as far from FP Slashdot fare as you can get.
Boring.
And then Timmeh slaps in a quick reference to Obama for the Hell of it.
Lame.
I'm not one to bash Slashdot and its "declining standards", but this was just stupid and pointless.
I got an iPod touch recently instead of a netbook, because I already have a decent (and small) laptop. If I was going to go ultra-portable, might as well make it a little more than an incremental jump.
Now, a 10" screen is nice, but to me, something like the iPod, with something like a 6" or 7" screen, would be perfect.
Ha, reminds me of my days selling cell phones. The Motorola rep was this crazy kid who flung his wares around the shop with great abandon to show how rugged Moto phones were. They were, too. Don't think today's Razors and Slivers could do that.

Why TV Lost

· Score: 4, Insightful
You forgot to finish your sentence:
TV still has an important advantage over the PC. It is not generally related to work at all, can be restricted to a pure entertainment level, requires no brain effort, has a remote control and is generally placed just in front of the most comfortable armchairs and sofas in the house...although more and more of these TVs have desktops, laptops, iPods, Tivos, Wiis, Xboxes, PS3s or other computer-like devices connected to them most of the time.
This isn't a case of either/or. It's a case of TV having lost a long time ago.
Very well. For all the love I have for JD, he's an interesting character (and concept) poorly served by a large number of rote and repetitive plots as well as being almost completely misunderstood by the fanbase.

so tough guy, you want to write off a huge swath of real estate because of the actions of one state legislature.
Oh, FFS. If you want to ignore shit that's been going on in Kansas, Texas and many other states just to make your precious little point, knock yourself out. Just don't expect anyone to take your argument seriously.
They stuck it all in one spot. The only way they could have helped the cops more is if they placed a big red arrow that says "hooker" over the prostitute's heads.
Mod parent up.
Old school: Go undercover/hit the streets to round up prostitutes.
New school: Login in to www.craiglisst.com from the comfort of the squad room, set up a date, make arrest. Rinse, repeat.
That douchebag Sheriff should be thanking them for making it much easier for him.
You forgot Anthrax. So that would be ONE, actually.
Also, that thesis has always been ridiculous anyway:
-Black Swans are not useful for measurement.
-Any terrorist attacks after 9/11 would be impossible/inconceivable, so crowing about it is also meaningless.
-We fought them "over there" so we didn't have to fight them "over here". By many measures, Iraq is US soil. The last 6 years have been one long terrorist attack.
-Last but not least, tell that shit to the people of London and Madrid and see how far that gets you.
Slashdot Mirror
I really want to know.
Read my Journal.
500 comments of wailing about how it was Bush's fault, Cheney's fault, and the fault of neo-cons, the Illuminati, FBI, CIA, RIAA, MPAA, etc..
Yeah, 'cuz everybody's so quiet and respectful in this thread *rollseyes*

And that's supposed to make us feel good?

Yes he is.

It's a valid question.

Obviously, Timmeh's not a big fan of Obama. If kdawson is a left-wing tool, only fair we have a right-wing tool to balance things out.
Awesome! And very responsive. Now, we might as well complete the trifecta and call this one overrated. Thanks in advance!
TFS comprehension fail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Enjoy the country your stupidity has gotten you.
Excellent troll mod.
Here's another one for you. I suggest Offtopic this time.
Seriously, this place is starting to get as bad as a cable news channel.

This is the liberals version of 9/11, using the crisis as a pretext to remake the US economy and set their agenda.
It's tempting to think that, but the truth is McCain would've done pretty much the same thing. Except he would have cried more.
Ha, reminds me of my days selling cell phones. The Motorola rep was this crazy kid who flung his wares around the shop with great abandon to show how rugged Moto phones were. They were, too. Don't think today's Razors and Slivers could do that.

Fixed that for you.
How does it compare to Judge Dredd?

A few other interesting reviews:
Onion AV Club review.

Fucking parsers.
Make the damn thing legal, it's just sex and money in one happy exchange voluntarily entered into by both parties.
Oh, absolutely agree with you there. So do most cops. So if this asshole has such a hardon for arresting hookers, nothing will ever change his mind.

Um, that would be ZERO, Jack.
