The Undead are an exception to the rule. The Alliance races are racist and hate those who are different because they are different. The Horde races are just trying to survive.
"There is a potential hidden advantage to the compact bulb in that the mercury is contained, which is less harmful than the mercury spewed into the air by the power plant that powered the older bulb."
Wow, these new bulbs shut down power plants? OHWAIT. No, they don't. Those power plants are still creating the same amount of waste, you're just able to go "I'm saving the world!" and pat yourself on the back when you look at your light bulbs.
Maybe he should have been modded down as "Flamebait" instead. Well, if you or I see it in metamoderation, we can fix it. Don't want AC's karma to take too big of a hit.
I do see a bit of a trolly tone in his message, though. It's that aggressive way of saying "Everything I say or do is correct, and you're also a thief." that Trolls seem to have.
Don't forget to remind the editors to tighten up there spellud.
You've got an excuse for "Spelled/Spelt" but what about everything else? When you're slamming the editors for misspelling common simple words, and in your post you do the exact same thing.
I think you should step away from the keyboard and reevaluate your life.
You're not thinking hard enough. I'm not going to repeat myself over and over to debate the point with you, but google "anarcho-capitalist" and educate yourself.
I just couldn't imagine any soldier willingly attacking his fellow citizens or any city/town in the USA. And I'm pretty sure news travels too fast for the soldiers to be lied to and told the rebelling citizens are 'evil trrists.'
Isn't Vinyl just Physical Rights Management? My car can play a burned CD, even one with MP3s or WMAs on it. I haven't seen a turn-table since I was like 4 (I'm only 21).
"The simple fact is that our well trained army of about 1 million men could easily and without breaking a sweat, subdue all 299 million of the rest of the United States population, even if each one had a bolt-action rifle, given technology, resources, tactics and general training, if it came to that."
You're a soldier. You're ordered to turn your weapons on your friends, cousins, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers. Chances are that a good 90% of the military would refuse those orders, and a good percentage of that 90% would use their training to help the 299.9 million stand up against the 100,000.
Yeah, but here's how the Naval version works, and I'm assuming the land based one works as well...
The system is capable of targeting, designating threat levels, and engaging. But to engage the target, a human is alerted and has to verify the target and threat level. Once he/she does, they press a button and the system engages the target. In a time of actual battle where the ship is under known direct attack, they can turn the weapons system to fully-automated, where it no longer asks a human for permission to engage.
Plus, it is only for shooting down airborne objects.
Also, from the wikipedia link you provided: "Phalanx is considered inadequate against some modern threats and is being gradually supplemented and replaced by the Rolling Airframe Missile, which has greater range and higher hit probability. The RAM system uses an automated and self-sufficient radar fire control similar to that of Phalanx."
I was waiting at a red light and enjoyed watching a cop pull through the intersection on the phone while narrowly avoiding a pedestrian.
Funny thing is, they re-located the police station recently. It's now directly across the street from the Dunkin Donuts. And I wish that I was kidding.

I spend all day on slashdot, how do I get a job as a corporate shill? That sounds like a sweet job.

"There is no logical end to WoW, where the evil WoW faction of the Horde is victorious, and every member of the good-aligned Alliance dies."
The Horde is actually only trying to survive, they only defend themselves from the Alliance.
The Alliance is full of evil people who are trying to gain more power, at any cost, and they brought the Demons into the world to begin with.

You're not a troll because I disagree with you. You're a troll because of how you say what you say.
Theo, I herd u liek mudkips. If not, please make yourself an hero.

Well, the changes from the Gameboy to the Gameboy Advance were pretty big.
Some people tried that. Modifying some of the bad worms to have a payload of "download and install the patch for the hole I came in with."
That failed pretty damn hard. It was argued that it did as much damage as the worm it was trying to stop.

Not only was it released years late, but it didn't have ANY of the features that they told us to wait so long for!
WinFS, anyone?
You're kinda missing the point. The 'services' they provide could EASILY be provided by the free market.
"...to ensure the IRS gets paid at least most of what they're due."
Put the kool-aid down and think about what you just said.
I just bought my first Mac, a Macbook Pro, and your links to the "real mac geeks" have made me consider returning it.
Us pc nerds may look dorky, but at least we're not emo.

The human race was not annihilated.

Well, you agreed to the Terms of Use. Don't like 'em? Go to Yahoo.

I'm sorry, is Digg down for maintenance?
Your abuse of the English language shows that chances are YOU are closer to eight than the poster you're attempting to insult.
And work on that spelling, champ. You'll be able to spell "about" in no time!

Who said the Police know when its safe?
Whats that? the Police said that they know when its safe? Uh huh.
