Are you denying evolutionism? Daring to question the validity of the omnipotent coincidence? Who's side are you on? Those who had our one and only definite pseudo-theoretic truth unsuccessfully beating into their minds, or those of us who bravely fight the existence of intelligence with every bone in our body?
You, sir, are an insult to evolutionists everywhere.
If I uphold my end of the contract, I hope that entitles me to drag the webmaster out onto the streets and execute him publicly. Maybe with that policy, someone will think the best way of making money is not to mutilate their web pages and fuck over the viewers. I've heard Nazis give better justifications than this. Really.

Allchin pointed out some advantages that Microsoft had over Apple's OS
Which consist of being able to save search results, and a huge customer base of suckers.
Technically, we should teach them to think for themselves, but this is the opposite of obeying and bending over for authority so it wouldn't make sense to have the school system shove it down kids' throats.
Also, yeah, if someone has to stifle another take on history, then theirs is bullshit.
Well, they tell people what they're allowed to see. If you find that justifiable, feel free to move to China, Ethiopia, Iran or any other location ruled by mindless people such as yourself. I'd have recommended Germany but you guys pulled out of there in 1949.
oh jeeze, I'm running a site much like bash.org (People that Suck, just for reference) - I really should have pulled what they did last year when they said they'd be moving to a domain called funnybutfriendly.org and were planning to censor entries to ensure that they're nice and friendly. I honestly thought they were going to bite the dust like a lot of sites out there do when they fall into the Nazi-ish censorship state the internet is becoming.
It evolved out of sticks and stones in the ground, all by itself. Yes, I know a bunch of idiots will say 'somebody designed it' and junk like that, but it doesn't phase me. Weren't they listening in school?
Nope it's always 4, though I'm sure if you proposed it in certain states, they'll start teaching that it equals 5 because 4 could be a religious number or something.
theory - A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena
So somebody comes up with what's essentially a myth, can't support it, and wants me to believe it? Right. I guess we can see why they needed the school system to get any following.
Well, here's a funny twist: I have a few Japanese video game books, and I wanted to know what they say. So what did I do? I could have paid out my ass and gone through the useless hassle of a language class, I could have read one of those "Teach Yourself Blah Blah Blah in 20 Days" books and still not gotten anywhere, or I could just decode it with an online dictionary and a program called JEDict for the Mac, which swiftly looks up Hiragana.
The best way of doing these things is to go straight to the point, which involves knowing what people are writing and saying, not setting in a classroom and shoveling out money.
Exactly! This problem dates back to the Looney Tunes days when reckless children would stand on rooftops and drop anvils on innocent by-passers' heads, chop down trees to land on houses and roll boulders down cliffs to squash anyone in sight. Hospitals were all occupied by people who looked like accordions! It was a real mess.
Fortunately, Illinois legislators passed the Scwewy Wabbit bill and all kids seen watching cartoons are shot on sight. They haven't had a problem since.
Is it really an 'abuse' when it's supposed to be used for dictatorship purposes?
Which also begs the question, is it really corruption when governments have always been there for the purpose of doing these things? Or, why do some people use the phrase "misuse of the DMCA" when corporations use it to exercise totalitarianism?
This is just me, but I tend to write my own database programs to suit my own purposes. It's really not that extraordinary; track entries with overhead, define column-separation string (or put column overhead at the start of the entry), a few other boring details and you can have a whole table in a simple text file.
Now I'm not an XML expert so this comes with a grain of salt, but I personally don't like the human-readable format because it's really not that hard to get, or code a program that'll read a normal database out for you.
XML just happened to annoy me because of the overhead. Normally, you can track a file up to 16,777,216 bytes with three bytes of overhead per entry, and store data types (char string int) with a single byte. XML writes out "2" just to store a single number, not to mention the preceding spaces. This certainly doesn't do much for speed and file sizes.
So this method will just use up a lot more CPU and bandwidth than necessary, even with the tricks servers may use to encode and decode entries. I tend to just stick with the other formats.
Most people knew I was talking about being sued, but I guess you're special. If $9.99 is your life savings then thanks for playing the common slashdotter.
lol, wow. I wonder who will be the first person shot to death after copying data? Hung maybe? Could just go easy on them and cut off their hand. The president of RIAA will probably have heads mounted on his wall as trophies. Gotta protect the public, after all.
No no no, revolutions are good. I'm all for that. Though let's face it: the only time they've ever worked is in deliberate disobedience. It's like, the US military didn't exactly stand outside Saddam's fortress with "down with Hussein!" signs in order to pwn him.
Meh, we already know that changing a government doesn't quite work that way.
Well you can imagine which side will have be the protagonist. The Raidinator! A coin-operated cyborg who must heroically save the world from an apocalyptic future where people copy 1's and 0's without giving their life savings large corporations!! It ends now! There will be huge explosions and product placement for pills and clothes at low low prices. "Come with me if you want to - please insert quarter to hear the rest of this message."
Actually a lot of people are arrested in protests, and often, you have to fill out forms and meet requirements in order to conduct one, so if the government doesn't like your protest, you can be looking at jail time.
I love your views but it seems like you're trying to appeal to politicians' sense of logic, when all they're doing is finding new ways to send everyone to prison to please the corporations paying for their campaigns. I'm afraid the only way to appeal to them is with a lot of money.

Anyone else run into that?

Nevar fear! I had the honor of meta-moderating the guy who marked it ;)
Y'know the Allies didn't exactly march up to Hitler's living quarters and hold up protest signs until he gave up.

What you're saying is 2+2=5 is a proven fact. Ever hear of math? It's really not a hard subject. Even a monkey could learn it.

Zealous evolutionists get to control the school system. Exactly why are they whining when they can't spread the word to a few theaters?

And 9 out of 10 women are guilty of showing their foreheads in public. Let's all do as we're told and be outraged by it.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR.
Hey, when all the computers in Washington break down and cause widespread panic, you'll know not to get the next update.
I'm sorry. When I said 'XML writes out "2"', I meant that it writes "<integer>2</integer>" but ./ thought those were tags.

You have a right to protest
Actually a lot of people are arrested in protests, and often, you have to fill out forms and meet requirements in order to conduct one, so if the government doesn't like your protest, you can be looking at jail time.
