Two problems with that. One, the second hand smoke studies that everybody loves to cite are, at best, inconclusive. Second, you might have a point if someone was smoking next to you indoors, but if it's outside, stop being a pussy and move upwind.
I don't think his bent is so much ideological at this point as much as practical. When corporations hold the copyrights and the means to lengthen them at will via a stranglehold on the political process, everybody loses.

You should, it's what started this whole sub-thread.
Do try to understand what you're replying to.
Funnnnneeeeeee.
Now, about those questions you're still afraid to answer...
I did answer them. You just don't like the answer because you're trying to make some obscure point that has no relevance to the discussion you butted into.
My point, if you were paying attention, is that tarring an entire country based on the actions of some is stupid and disingenuous. Do keep up, gotcha-boy.
Try reading again, he made no specifications whatsoever as to people or leaders, he tarred the whole place with the same brush. For added points, look at his posting history. He's a bitter motherfucker alright.
By the way, when you accuse somebody of ranting, try a spellchecker first, it'll make you look like less of a loon yourself. Meanwhile, I'm off to find some smelly underwear. I usually don't keep any at the office, you know, the business that I own and run?
Man, for such a low UID, you really are a fucktard.
Wow, nice hate. Iran's leaders may be a bunch of retarded assholes, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little sympathy for the people they're fucking over.
Should I call you an inbred idiot because you're being led by one of them? Didn't think so.
As was mentioned by more than one person during that time, you missed another possibility: That the cables were cut/damaged in order to provide cover for a splice.
Again, you're getting it wrong. Servants don't think, they do what they're told to do. And some of us want them to do at least most of the triage for us first.
If you want to monitor all your email by hand, knock yourself out. Meanwhile, thousands of businesses and billions of people just want to get on with their lives.
Actually, GP makes a good point, albeit in a slightly flamebait fashion. What exactly do you expect the CEO of a company that was recently acquired by the 800 lb gorilla of the IT industry to say, other than cozy, uplifting platitudes?
Yep, that would be me. Never heard of them before this article, and I like to think I'm still fairly hip to what happens on the 'tubes these days and...shit. Those fucking kids are on my lawn again!

Well shit, I sure hope there's no cars or buses where you live, because they're doing you far worse than the occasional walk through a puff of smoke.

Great. So what you're telling me is the rule of law isn't good enough? Man, the US really is going to the dogs.
As I said earlier, dude's a dick:
Firing a water cannon at vagrants? What does he want, a medal?
File under value-added activities to enhance your business' cashflow. Nothing to see here.
FAIL. Your tag-fu sucks!
Is it wrong to walk into a gym
FAIL. This is slashdot, you're supposed to make car analogies.
Too bad for your faulty ideological bent

Oh wait, you don't have a clue.
Dude, you're a subscriber. You should be getting first posts in your sleep!
all I saw
Open your eyes just a little wider...
we can check your posting history
God, I really wish you would already.
I simply don't care about your "point",
You should, it's what started this whole sub-thread.

Weak troll attempt. FAIL.
America worst nation in the history of the planet, are we?
I'd like to know why you think that. The US is OK by my book, just not as great as some fervent patriots make her out to be though.
Vulva La Revolucion
I didn't know you were a hyper-feminist.
My point, if you were paying attention, is that tarring an entire country based on the actions of some is stupid and disingenuous. Do keep up, gotcha-boy.
Change Ayatollah for Bush, and you've made my point for me. Cheers. And chill out dude. Those kids on your lawn? Much more important.

things that are meant to think for us.

I wonder if some people use servants to check their snailmail for scams.
You just countered your argument. Our computers are meant to be servants and do stuff like this for us, that's the whole point.
So, wanting to see a hot Canuck actress naked is grounds for a troll mod? What, did everybody on /. turn gay while I was away?
Wait...don't answer that.
t's a new low, even for Slashdot. Seriously.
Get over yourself. Super duper seriously.

Just as long as it's not Herbert.
Oh, come one. Who wouldn't want to watch the (mis)adventures of an elderly pervert?
"Aww, now you're starting to piss me off, you piggly son of a bitch. Call me!"
Most people didn't even know it existed
Yep, that would be me. Never heard of them before this article, and I like to think I'm still fairly hip to what happens on the 'tubes these days and...shit. Those fucking kids are on my lawn again!
XviD shits on DivX. Project Mayo forever.
Scumbags.
Is everybody paying attention? That's how you troll, kids.
What exactly in your scenario is supposed to make me afraid of unregulated capitalism?
;)
Well, for MS fanbois, I guess it would be heaven
Collusion only works for as long as the people are willing to fund it.
Not a very good argument. Using MS as a handy example, that collusion could go on for decades.
