Yep, and the French Revolution never happened...
It still amazes me how egocentric Americans are. They really think they invented hot water.
You make a good point, but you make it poorly. France, to this day, has no freedom of speech laws -- one can be arrested/fined for saying things. It still amazes me how many inaccuracies appear on/. every day.
I find making a HUGE single color gif image, like 1px tall and billions across, is just as effective, except it has the added benefits of hanging firefox on low memory machines, and being extremely low bandwidth (due to the way gifs are compressed).
In other words, you punish the site's users, not its owner -- aka the person you have a beef with. You're a great guy.
I have seen people here express that there is a correct form of english language - this idea is foreign to me - what is the source of your correct version? a book? a certain group of people?
It's called a dictionary. Stop being ridiculous. Many thanks.
Evolution is just a theory. There are other theories as well. Please make sure your kids get taught every possible theory or you will probably wind up in hell... or worse.
Not that I believe in it, but what's worse than hell?
My mother-in-law's house?
So if I don't teach my kids alternative theories your mother-in-law will abduct them? That gives me an idea...

But why would anyone buy Wolfgang Puck's coffee, which I've never heard him associated with? It's like the idea of buying Lil' Caesar tea... why would I?
Even better than that - a friend of mine, who lives in Washington, was visiting California a few years back and went into a bar and was carded. At the time WA still used printed & laminated cards while CA had switched over to newer cards where the info was actually printed onto a plastic card. The bartender insisted that his ID was fake and proceded to cut it up.
For a while in my teens my only ID was my US passport. One day I got arrested for shoplifting batteries at Safeway (I know, bad me). So the cops shows up, looks at my passport, and says: "How does it feel to know you're going home?" I was thrilled, said: "You mean you're not gonna arrest me?" And he goes: "Oh, I am. But then we're going to send you back to Mexico." Huh?
Since then, I am never surprised by human stupidity.
In most states (or maybe all) killing a police officer gets you an automatic life sentence or death penalty. Or rather, being found guilty of killing a police officer does.
I do have a problem with a Dj winning an award for mixing together 2 over-hyped albums.
Yeah, but "The Black Album" sucks and I hate the Beatles, yet "The Grey Album" is at the top of my most-played list. In other words, it is greater to (or at least different from) the sum of its parts.
Dangermouse doesn't deserve jack for doin' something that could easily be replicated with a computer and some wavs.
Okey dokey, you're obviously one of those people who goes to the museum and says, "I could have done that." Care to link to your musical efforts, Mixmaster Meta?
They said that government related communications must use "courriel" instead of "email". I'd say it's a good thing, official communications should use the correct vocabulary. Using "email" would be the same as using leet speak in official govt. communications for example.
Nope. They actually invented a word to replace one that had been around for years and used all over the world. In other words, they are speaking leet.
Remember with Bush in the white house for another 3 years our environment is going to go to hell in a handbasket so even if your power situation is ok now it may not be if we start having frequent adverse weather.
Oh man, I read your post and thought, only three to go? Sweet! But the man only started his term a month ago, so that makes it four.
i'm sick to death of morons screaming "won't somebody PLEASE think of the children" frankly i don't give a shit about your snot nosed little brats. survival of the fittest i say. if they are dumb enough to get knocked off by a pedo too bad. one less idiot to reproduce later. the same goes for play ground saftey.
Uh, isn't that the point? A pedophile, by definition, is an adult, and adults are usually fitter than kids...
I'm with you on the playground safety issue though.
One thing that most people don't understand is that it is indeed stupid to own songs because all that copying and burning is so redundant and waste of time.
With today's technologies, all one needs to have are playlists and the music can be downloaded from wherever.
No, it is stupid to not understand that the minute you drop your subscription you lose all your music forever. In other words you are stuck with the same service for the rest of your life. For a/.er you sure don't seem to know much about the speed of tech innovation. In any case this is analogous to renting vs. buying a house: buying is more of an initial expense but it ends up being cheaper in the long run and you have something to show for your money.

Using the classic example of assassinating Hitler, does anyone believe that any of his likely successors would have been less evil?
Uh... yes. Talk about a weird question.
... should fire every single employee of Apple's laptop division and hire these guys... or not. Slashdot keeps sinking.

We had advanced warning (36+ hours) that this was going to happen. Where were FEMA, the NG, Homeland Security, etc?
Good question, but a better one might be: what kind of a dumbass stays home when he's been told to evacuate because his city is about to be flooded?
All cell providers are literally moving mountains to get the towers back online.
Literally? I doubt it.
Offtopic? If you don't understand something don't moderate it.

Russian cosmonaut, Sergei Krikalev has taken the record for most time spent in space away from fellow Russian Sergei Avdeyev.
What's so wrong with Sergei that there's a record for spending time in space away from him? Bummer for him!
Charity, when compelled through coersion or threat, is just a nice word for slavery. Uh... no. No, it isn't. The word you're looking for is extortion.

So you're saying to murder the undercover cop?

BTW, the word "courriel" was coined by the Quebecois.
Ah, that explains it -- the Quebecois have a predisposition for stupid names.
English: skateboard
French: planche à roulettes (board with wheels, fair enough)
Quebecois: rouli roulin (WTF?)
