As for those who don't seem to think the natural environment is worth saving, try living without it. Love mother earth or leave it needs to be the rallying cry for the truly moral among us. If you don't like the ecosystem here, move to outer space. Ummm,that's some good arrogance I smell. Does true morality require that nothing change in the ecosystem? Just let me know what your benchmark year for ecology of the planet is, so we can have ISO certify it and then move on to make sure it never changes.
Back in the 90's I worked for a company that built coin changers and acceptors. Even back then they were using a more advanced method than the one you describe. The acceptor was actually the part that determined what type of coin was inserted and would reject it if it was a slug. The acceptor worked on the same principle as a metal detector. Since coins are made up of a unique mix of metals the acceptors could be "tuned" to accept a certain coin by dropping versions of that kind from different years and differing conditions. Interesting, that might explain why a 60's vintage silver dime was rejected by a vending machine. Didn't realize it was a silver dime until I plucked it out and saw the vintage and the lack of shine.
These are NOT rum'n'cokes they are talking about. "Sparks" (a Miller/Coors product), one of the products that is being reformulated, had as much alcohol as a can of beer but as much caffeine as a "stay awake" pill. Given the diuretic effects of caffeine, you really aren't drinking the beer or even renting it, sounds like your just pre-filtering the stuff before it goes down the toilet.
Yes, but Keith Olbermann never claims he's presenting the news. He's a commentator. O rly {insert Owl pick here} Allow me to quote Keith himself in a interview with Bill Moyers, "But, what I've done on the air in the last 4 1/2 years, and particularly in the last year and a half since the special comments began, is really journalism." Nevermind his attempting to wrap himself in the mantle of Edward R Murrow.
leave nasty poo that doesn't become safe for about 300,000 years. Argg, citation needed. No, seriously if something takes that long to decay then it probably isn't much worse than the Carbon 14 and Potassium 40 decaying and bathing your DNA in radiation as we speak.
Dogs are working animals and they're dirty, In case anyone is wondering, I have a small parrot. And what meaningful labor does your parrot do? As for cleanliness pay no attention to how much parrot shit winds up on your parrots perch that said bird then walks on and then feeds itself with those same feet. And this little gem, It's a mark of selfish, lonely people too lazy to go out and interact with humans... Is a pretty good troll coming from a bird owner. Of course your diatribe does bring up a key point, who has more right to live a German Shepard pup born in a Western Country or a baby born in drought ridden Africa?
And yes, if an 18 year old woman shows up at your pharmacy asking for a morning-after pill, it's not your right to lecture her about YOUR morals and religious beliefs. She's got her own. And if said pharmacy doesn't carry the morning after pill b/c of ethical/moral or whatever beliefs then what? And seeking the morning after pill sounds like closing the barn door after the horse has left, ethically speaking.
Traffic expands to consume whatever amount of road you're willing to build. Your high speed rail will be consumed and the airlines will still suffer delays. Really, you mean now that there's a high speed rail between LA-Phoenix, I living on the east coast will jump on a plane and then ride this rail service b/c it's there? Now, that expanded traffic is what creates a multiplier effect for infrastructure spending/investment.
You can use logic all you want to show the advantages Android phones have, but until the shine wears off for the iPhone fans and people realize just how tied their hands are, it will remain the dominant phone. You're half right, the other part of the shine equation is eventually, the air of exclusivity will wear off and apple will become the next burberry and chavs will have them and then no one will want one.

It's fairly likely that the Malibu will be as rare in 2059 as the Bel Air is now. Yes, but will anybody want one in 2059? Just checkout the Barrett Jackson Auto auctions to see how much desire there is for the 1959 Bel Air.
Seriously, fuck you. And get back to me when you can say that on American television; until then, continue denying that anyone in America ever fucked. Ok, go watch an episode of the Sopranos. What, you meant public broadcast airwaves? Sorry, that's a different kettle of fish.
Who do you think elected said very noisy and ill-informed subset of the politicians? It wasn't a bunch of thoughtful, sober, rational individual citizens who acted in concert to promote harmonious civil discourse, now was it?
Oh, it's even better than that, once the appropriate NGO's get the right sanctions and treaties passed in the UN you won't even have to worry about such quaint things like constitutional rights, since our life time appointed SCOTUS justices will look at how other(possibly less democratic) instutions and countries act, and move the laws accordingly.
we have contributed more to our national debt than by any other method. Give it a little more time and this statement will be false. Instead, we'll have massive govt debt providing pills and nursing care for the boomers.
Funny that my post got a "flamebait" while yours is "2: Insightful". Slashdot ever ends to amaze me.

Personally, I prefer the older Slashdot where we didn't confuse "troll" with "legitimate criticism of Linux" or "Legitimate rebuttal of conservative idea". The year 2000 called it wants its/. nostalgia back. Btw you need to get with the times, troll now== something bad about apple || anything nice about libertarianism || lower taxes/less regulation.
(d) In what universe is changing the law so that you can run for election any number of times the same as making yourself president for life? Not everyone thinks term limits are a good idea. The US did not used to have them. The same universe were such a law was set up and codified to avoid such a situation. And let's not forget Hugo went to jail for trying a coup back in the 90's. As for who has he offed, the man has been backing the FARC rebels in Colombia.
It's a proposition only the most extreme horror movies have touched. It's the walking definition of Capital-E Evil. Soylent Green is people, it's people. Not really that extreme.
Furthermore, I would not call a machinist "unskilled labor". Well, since the machinists at Boeing wanted to add the guys driving the little golf carts all over the shop floor to their machinists union, then some machinists may be considered unskilled.
How well does that system work at protecting your right against self-incrimination, right to remain silent or right to keep and bear arms? I don't know if you're be facetious, but there is no right to keep and bear arms. Except maybe for a few lords and knights, the crown hasn't wanted an armed populace for a while.
