What would be cool is if you let people add their own CSS code. Each user would have the ability to save a little CSS magic to their profile and that code would be run when the user logged into the site or some crap.
I watched the first part of the series. The Psylons look just like humans--and they're terrorizing humanity. Get it? It's so unoriginal and disappointing it makes me want to puke. Terrorists are everywhere--even in the future. You don't know when they'll strike and you can never see them coming. If you enjoy this sort of crap, then break out the plastic sheets and duct tape, sit back, and enjoy.
Why not just compare Linux to Windows 95--that's what my mom's using and I'm certain the article would be even "funnier".
I'm tired of biased comparisons. I'm an engineer--not a Republican.
That's great. All we need is billions of crappy-ass computerized entities arguing over whether or not abortion should or should not be legal and using up precious processing cycles praying to their gods.
On the one hand, I worry that our constant meddling with nature is dangerous and could result in global disaster; on the other hand, Sheep-Boy must live.
It sounds as though Mr. Thompson is indirectly suggesting that all that we've been led to believe with regard to the harm drugs cause is also in question--since the majority of evidence suggesting that drugs pose a serious health risk come from studies paid for by government agencies.
I would prefer death to tyranny. I'm sure many of the people in China feel the same way and would actually try and do something about it if they weren't so closely watched.
"...an effort to identify the genetic structure of proteins that can cause diseases."
Does that mean they'll be studying known proteins or looking for new ones? I'd hate to think I helped find a new disease-causing protein.
There was no evidence to ever suggest that any weapons had been converted to fully automatic. That was a fabrication. No converted weapons have ever surfaced. And I do not know of anybody murdered by Koresh and his crew. Please provide a list of names so I can investigate this revelation.
According to former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, infra-red (FLIR) video taken from the FBI's own helicopter proves that the FBI fired heavily into the Mt Carmel center just as the fire started--which was when people would most likely try to exit. The fire was NOT started by the Dividians--but was the result of the CS gas (!) used--as it was likely ignited by the kerosene lamps which the Dividians were forced to use in the compound...since their electricity had been cut. CS powder ignites at 327 F and once ignited will burn at temperatures as high as 4,200 F
Of course, that's not possible, right? It's much more likely that the Dividians started the fire themselves.
Really? Well please enlighten me. Where is the evidence of drug manufacturing? Where is the evidence of child molestation? Why do eyewitness accounts back up Koresh's story? Are they in on the anti-government conspiracy? Why does satellite footage contradict the ATF's story? Mistakes do happen--particularly when our government is involved.
I saw it. Great stuff. The disappearing video was another example of evidence tampering--which was rampant. Numerous accusations of evidence tampering were made. Certainly, there is far more proof of evidence tampering than there was of drug manufacturing or child molestation (much more than none). Still, it all just seemed to disappear.
All the cameras in the world won't make a difference. All that matters is what people are told they're seeing. That was proven in the famous Rodney King trial.
Or, better yet, look at what happened in Waco. No evidence of illegal activity by the Dividians. No evidence of drug manufacturing. No evidence of child molestation. Ignored evidence of the initial shots being fired by the ATF. Yet our government was able to falsely justify the torture and death of innocent civilians. Few people seemed to notice.
Look at all the video evidence you like. Big Brother will tell you what to see.
I am so tired of the/. moderation. The last comment was topical--it addressed a criticism made by another poster. If anything, it was humorous--yet I am nevertheless branded as an off-topic troll. If that's the state of affairs on/., then fine. I'll wear my scarlet letters with pride.
Forgive my speeding, sir! Yes, sir! I am aware that I ran a red light three years ago, sir! Yes, sir! I have apologized for chewing gum in class in the third grade, sir! Yes, sir! Very insensitive of me, sir!
Local and federal authorities should be answering to the people--not the other way around. I was once stopped for speeding. I asked the officer, "When was the last time your radar was calibrated?" It's my right to ask--but the cop went ape-shit. "Are you questioning me, sir?!" I said, "No, officer--I'm questioning the accuracy of your instruments." Apparently, he didn't understand my question, because he asked me again, "ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME, SIR?!". He said "sir" with contempt rather than with respect--and never did he actually answer my question.
On another occasion, after moving into a new apartment, I had a neighbor call the police with a noise complaint. I hadn't realized how thin the walls were. By the time the authorities showed up, the stereo was alread off. He knocked on the door and I said (through the door), "Yes? Is there a problem officer?" He said, "I want to talk to you. Open the door." I said, "Well, what's the problem?" He said, "Just open the door." I said, "Do you have a warrant?" He laughed! He said, "I don't need a warrant." I said, "Well, it's not for you."
He yelled and demanded I let him in. Again I refused. He kept pounding for almost fifteen minutes. Finally, he kicked my door--hard--before he finally left.
Our representatives and civil servants are forgetting themselves--and it's only getting worse.

I think the government should make people give me money, too.
I haven't heard of a lot of cell phone companies puttin LAMP or .NET support into their cell phones. Are cell phones "so 90s", too?

Let's just hope they don't ask to be taken to our leader.

Your sig is hilarious. Does that come in bumper sticker?
I blame FDR and Jesus.
I propose we change the definition of Kansas.
Kansas - 1. state central U.S. capital Topeka area 82,277 square miles (213,097 square kilometers), population 2,477,574, 2. wellspring of ignorance

I think that solutions now don't have to worry about the broadcast flag--but, next year, I think that could present a problem.
