i disagree. Illegal behavior SHOULD be handled by the cops. If someone assaults you at work, is it a work issue for HR, or is it a criminal matter? If the local bully beats up Timmy the bully should be, what's the word... punished. Beating up people is ILLEGAL. It shouldn't be dismissed as "boys will be boys" because victim and perpetrator aren't over 18. Should the Columbine killers been handled with Saturday suspension? Hell no.
Children should learn early on that some behaviors are unacceptable. That's not to say they should always face jail time, but we should impress upon them that actions have consequences. You can't just do what ever the fuck you want, even if you're really mad at someone.
To put it another way, child molestation is not a church administration issue. It shouldn't be handled by the church. The priest committed a C R I M E, he didn't get the words the Eucharist wrong.
Subby, your headline doesn't parse in English. What language was that supposed to be? Question headlines suck as a rule, but this... wow, this is just terrible. Try forming a complete thought next time. Maybe start with basic grammar like: subject, verb, object. What are the teaching in schools these days?
On a site that is supposedly for nerds/geeks who are supposedly people of above average intelligence, i expect the writing to be at least up to the fifth grade level.
Most of what you say about G+ is what i like about. Control over who sees what, less noise from games, no companies asking for access to my account/page. i would have ditched FB years ago if it wasn't for all the other people i know on it. i'm using FB less and less.
Re Datamining: You're a mite on the ass of an elephant. The elephant is oblivious to your specific existence (unless you draw attention to yourself). Google doesn't care about YOU, personally.
Question marks mark questions. This is not a question. It's a statement./. should have a requirement that you must have a better grasp of the English language than a fifth grader to post headlines. Or maybe hire an editor.
Can we please try using verbs without prepositions? It might be a hoot to be able to do something without it being up, down, over or at. Did they stop teaching vocabulary in public schools?
Many of you are paranoiacs, aspies and socially inept. Therefore social networking sites are something many of you just can't comprehend.
To people who have friends and like interacting with humans (some of us even interact with females), social networking sites are very useful. FB and G+ get their value from really connecting real me with the real girl who was in my geometry class back in the day. She and i could be posting in the same slashdot threads and never know it, But because she uses her real name on FB i can reconnect with her and maybe even... meet her in person.
For every site that expects you to use your real name there are at least 100 that you can use to be an anonymous fucktard. Let people with social lives have their fun and manage their risks. Stop condescending to people who WANT to connect with people as their real selves.
But little did you know that by posting in a thread about slashdot paranoia you have activated the beacon in your jaw. We installed it when you had your wisdom teeth removed.
Common use can suck a nut. Language is too important to be left to the caprice of it's dumbest users. Just because people say it doesn't make it right. Just because people have been saying it for a long time does not make it right.
Decimate means to kill/destroy one tenth. No matter how many ignorant people use it to mean 'totally destroy', they are wrong. 10,000 year from now, they'll still be wrong.
There's nothing wrong with telling people they are wrong. It's a popular myth that correcting people is mean. It's not mean unless you're mean about it. It's far meaner, or just plain lazy to NOT correct people.
North Korea could lose a cyberwar against the US by simply starting it. They attack us, we implement the recently announced doctrine that cyberattacks are attacks and we'd retaliate with force.
Some sites benefit from anonymity, some from real names.
FB and G+ are worthless w/o real names. i wouldn't have joined either if they were just another forum (like Reddit,/. or Fark). i can be an anonymous coward/fuckwit on those sites. On FB and G+ i'm myself, and the hottie in my geometry class in the 90s is herself.
Some people aren't paranoiacs, which is concept many/.ers can't wrap their supposedly large brains around. Some people *like* to connect with other people.
In space = not on Earth. Space is what is outside of Earth and it's atmosphere. Otherwise space (as in, in space) is a meaningless term, there would be no in or out of it. We have a word for stuff that covers both 'in space' and on/in Earth: Universe. The Earth is in the universe/solar system/galaxy, but it is not "in space".
Piracy is ship to ship armed robbery, kidnapping and murder. Every time you call copyright infringement "piracy" you are making light of what's happeing off the horn of Africa and making copying a floppy sound like a capital crime. Stop playing their game.

Only an AC beat me to making a Sasha Baron Cohen reference. Just one reference! You guys are slipping.
For shame.
1) Danielle Rayne is HOT.
2) Awesome effects work, pro or not
3) It was hard to figure out what she did to the first guard, had to watch it twice.
4) i have no idea why she was sitting there one moment, and opening the panel the next. i guess it has something to do with the markings.
5) A Portal movie would be unlikely to have mass appeal. i'd love to see a web series.
6) Fit women like Danielle Rayne are ten times hotter to me than stick figure fashion models
Your tinfoil hat needs another layer.
What is this question asking? It doesn't parse in English.
Sounded like the dryer was VERY unbalanced.

OMG projection. You should check the mirror. What you see would look a lot like your imagined enemy.

RockDoctor,

Or better yet, seven boxxies.

i hope this goes to the PC. Good multiplayer fun.

Subby,
Stop using these asinine question headlines. It's not clever. It's trite.
Anonymous isn't a force for anything other than it's own amusement. If they did something good it was out of caprice.
Was this trying to be funny, or are you trying to "that guy"?
