Damned racist. Next he'll be generalizing that Russians speak accented English, Indians know how to cook Indian food, Chinese people almost always have black hair...
That's an interesting point... I wonder how many unsuspecting people have trojans running in the background, hiding illicit data on behalf of illicit people. I wonder if that's even considered a valid defense in court? Scary thought...
No, they're subpoenaing slashdot's logs to find out who the GP is so they can find out who leaked this sensitive information to him in the first place.
Hehe - reminds me of this article about the "small" cultural differences between Unix users and Windows users. And I quote: "the Windows culture understands that end users don't like reading". Look down my nose on these people? Why yes, I do, as a matter of fact.
Dude - "metastasize", and "epistemology"? Two words I didn't know, spelled correctly and (according to dictionary.com) used correctly, too! What are you doing on slashdot?
All I'm saying is that the state should not tell me what is and what isn't a valid contract.
Dude... turn off Rush Limbaugh for a second and pay attention. Telling you what is and isn't a valid contract is the FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE of government. All government. All throughout history.
I've never "pirated" music off the internet, myself, but I don't pass judgment on those who do, since I doubt that even the majority are freeloaders. However, cases like this almost make me want to start downloading music illegally and then deleting it just to irritate the record companies and make the "pirating" statistics go up. (I said "almost", for anybody who might be listening...)
Yes, utterly ironic, isn't it? You'd think somebody posting in support of grammar nazis would spel check his post before hitting the submit button, wouldn't you?
I once worked with a foreign guy (no idea where from) who wrote accounting code that dealt with "debit units" and "credit units". He abbreviated the variable for "debit unit" as "DUNT". Any guesses how he abbreviated "credit unit"?
"Should of" is a perfect example, because it's something that children say because they don't know any better. The presumption is that, as you grow up, your intelligence grows with you, and you outgrow grammar errors such as "should of", "supposably", and "pasghetti". Sure, the language will evolve, but "should of" will always sound like something a ten-year-old would say.
You know, the thing about that is... proper spelling and grammar make the writer look more "grown up". A tpyo or two are one thing, but if the grammar and spelling are at an eighth-grade level, I tend to assume that the writer is in the eighth grade. I'm always on the side of the grammar nazis on slashdot (even when they get me) because really poor grammar (from an otherwise obvious native English speaker) tend to make me discount the opinion of the poster. Although the grammar nazi victim may not think this is fair, I know I'm not alone... and you'd think that the poster would want to improve his/her writing skills just to make his/her opinions, thoughts, rantings, etc. more valuable to others.

What? You don't have tentacles yet? What do you, live far away from the nuclear power plants or something?

Actually, it's worse than you think. He meant per year, not per month.
Hmmm... that's a tough one. Post the picture and we'll make an official ruling.

So if you are putting cameras in the dressing rooms and storing the images on computers, don't take those computers to Best Buy for repairs.
Actually, that's www.UANAL.xxx now.
Hehe - the first thing I thought when I read the review was, "I wonder if I can buy it at Barnes & Noble... with cash?"
Actually, that was me that called. Dude, I can't believe you actually fell for it!

Only in Soviet Russia.

I guess he's abstaining from obtaining a spell checker.

Not just them - you and I have to sleep in it, too.

Hope this helps!No, but if I ran a drive-through, I would prohibit people from inconveniencing everybody else by coming up in a horse and buggy.
You mispelled "certainly".
Well, thank you for the feedback. I'll pay closer attention to that.
See how easy that was, everybody else?
