This has no bearing on me, as I have no desire to own an iPad, and even less desire to read a single word penned in Murdoch's cesspool.
So you click on the slashdot article about a service you would not want on a device you don't have? Then leave a comments letting us know you don't care about it?
What the fuck are you going to expect next? That he RTFA???
If the government can declare something "illegal" and pressure private companies to not do business with a particular entity... does it really matter if they can "make no law" abridging freedom of speech? Isn't the first amendment completely worthless?
All the others are. I'm surprised they haven't gone 10 for 10 and started requiring that we quarter soldiers.
In my defintion, tough control on all workers, attempted extinction of individuality and free enterprise - or even personal property no matter how small - could very well be called "Communism".
I hate to say this, but that sounds like what Multi-national corporations are going for. No individuality (get back to work, you lazy fuck!), no free enterprise or even personal property (*we* own the planet, you ungrateful fucks! now, get back to work!)
Liberal-leaning, socialist-loving University of Maryland
Ah, yes, those liberal socialists at UMD. What do you expect from a university that is well-known for physics, electrical engineering, and a host of other advanced technical research. And, we all know how vastly socialists physics is. I mean, just the other day, a professor discussed how the laws of physics are the same in any inertial reference frame! I mean, can you possibly get more socialist than that???!!!
So Kagan was recused from this case (among others)? What is the point in having nine jutices if one isn't going to participate when it counts? Too bad we can't add a 10th or 11th was "backup" justices.
There are going to be a lot of recusals for Kagan for the next few years, until all the cases she heard at the 9th circuit are history. It's annoying, but better than the obvious conflict of interest.
If you think US cops are corrupt, you have not lived, travelled in Latin America.
Or Russia or Indonesia, for that matter. If you go there, always make sure to have some good bribe money on hand. You don't even have to be that subtle about it, either.
Even the man's name is Nue in Hawaii and Nuah in China.
Oh, and even the "Nu" in Nuwa means "woman". But, since you obviously know so much about Chinese language, culture and history, you must have known that...
Christian creationists like to mix and match selected similar elements from myths, ignoring the rest, and use that as reason to support the "fact" of the Great Flood. At best this is ignorant, and at worse sheer dishonesty.
Usually, it is outright dishonesty. They desperately want something to be true, so it must be no matter how far they have to twist or ignore the facts.
Or, as I have heard it before, there are liars, damned liars, and creationists.
That's true. That's because the ancient Akkadians had invented the Hummer and McDonald's millennia ago and caused a massive melting of the ice caps in the peak of their capitalistic greed... or maybe the sun had something to do with it. Perhaps one day we'll know the truth.
Yes, since flooding occurred sometime in the past, obviously anthropogenic global warming isn't happening!
You know, some people have died of liver chirrosis who never drank a day in their life. So, by your "logic" it should be okay for you to drink a fifth of vodka every day. Please, try this experiment. Obviously it won't do you any harm.
you'd have about $1.35 (before taxes). Now start reading and post again when you have considered why such a terrific story has worldwide prominence.
I like to point out, regardless of our differences, A BILLION Chinese can't be wrong.
Of course, you ignore the vast differences between all the different flood myths, the very different times for the various floods, and the simple fact that flooding is such a common disaster all over the world. In one Chinese flood myth, the Great Flood takes about three generations. The Gilgamesh one is so similar because that is where the Old Testament story comes from! It's really not that hard to understand. You are doing what is commonly referred to as "grasping at straws".
When my uncle was in Pa, he'd just drive across the border to get his beer and wine. Don't tell anyone, ok?
Then he must have lived in Philadelphia. It is so easy to get booze in New Jersey. If you pass by one liquor store, just keep driving for a few minutes. You'll run into another one.
The AGW debate needs cooler heads and rational discussion, not more colorful language.
Go fuck yourself. What we need are dramatic, fact-free debates, complete with explosions and Hollywood voice-overs. Anything less would be un-American. Oh, and did I mention to go fuck yourself?
It's just that Al Gore and friends and politicians who like to hop on the green bandwagon and people who think being "green" is going to stop global warming refuse to believe it.
Why is it that I only hear about Al Gore from AGW deniers? People who talk about AGW usually talk about these crazy things like "research" and "scientific journals". Thank God you AGW deniers showed me the truth that it's all just about Al Gore, and nothing to do with this bullshit called "science". Oh, and about magnets: how the fuck do they work???

So she's suing Google for a little over $7000... is that a lot in Japan? My instincts say no.
It'll get you a movie ticket and some ramen. Well, maybe some cheap ramen.
So it's exactly like when a Slashdot meme is repeated in a post that for the 90,000th time and still gets modded up to +5 Funny.
In Soviet Russia, memes Slashdot YOU!
If you believe that helping the homeowners with mortgages would have magically helped stop the recession then you are woefully ignorance of economics.
Why? Because you say so? Oh, and how about all that TARP money? Yeah, that totally saved the economy!

No. I have a bias against people who are proud of their crap. And by "crap" I mean advertising and marketing. I thought that was pretty clear.
Don't be too hard on him. If he's proud to be in marketing, his lack of reading comprehension skills is the least of his problems.

No, actually, "unconstitutional" is defined by the US Constitution.
Um, and who interprets what the words in the Constitution mean? [Hint: it's some kind of court]
as in the US makes a lot of noise about the bad stuff others do but hey look you guys do it too with a hockey playing cow.
I never thought Canadian cow-tippers would have anything to do with international politics!

You are thinking of Nuwa, who is female. But, like most of the fundie stuff you read, what you read is a load of garbage.
That's true. That's because the ancient Akkadians had invented the Hummer and McDonald's millennia ago and caused a massive melting of the ice caps in the peak of their capitalistic greed... or maybe the sun had something to do with it. Perhaps one day we'll know the truth.

FIRST POST!
FUCK YOU ALL!!! I LOVE TYPING IN ALL CAPS!!! WOOOOTTT!!! lameness filter can go fuck. lameness filter can go fuck. oh, the irony that is slashdot.

Pennsylvania has some really fucked up booze laws.
That, and it seems like they hire a bunch of Prohibitionists to run the state-run liquor stores that you need to go to in order to even buy wine.

Go fuck yourself. What we need are dramatic, fact-free debates, complete with explosions and Hollywood voice-overs. Anything less would be un-American. Oh, and did I mention to go fuck yourself?
Did you pay the $9 to read it? If so, please copy and paste the relevant portions from the study here.
You've got to be careful. If you post that, you will wind up being sued to the tune of $7500 for each time this page was viewed.
