as the subject says, I found the female face more attractive but since I may own that probably doesn't mean anything. Now I know there aren't any females on Slashdot, but are there any fat geeks pretending to be girls that can say whether or not they found the male faces more attractive simply because they were "female".
I was just about to reply with the parents exact comment.
The one thing I would add though is that when SoundExchange/whatever giant corp decides to push internet radio, they're just going to turn into an internet Clear Channel so all you get the same song over and over and over and lots and lots of ads.
One problem I see would be tagging; you find some stream with a bunch of songs that you like and they're just labeled 1, 2, 3, and so on. But yeah, MusicNet maybe?
Listening to SomaFM Lush as I sit at my computer. Sure, they ask for money once or twice an hour and there's definitly some repeating (but I love 95% of the songs, so who cares), but I can't imagine what it'll be like with no internet radio. Sad, just sad.
What I've just realized is that these people posting that it's wrong to donate if you don't live right next to the guy, don't actually believe in anything.
After all, a belief is "Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality, or validity of something." But they don't "believe" in supporting anything not directly connected to them (and since what happens in Kansas does (amazingly enough) effect other people, including them (even if it's just someone breathing air that would have gone to them))). To sum that up, they don't "believe" in "believing." Thus the paradox, and thus the conclusion.
I don't really understand this post but I feel like I should respond anyway...*
Apparently it's "cheating" (which is illegal BTW, that's kind of the definition of cheating, so you might want to check out your second sentence. Just saying...) to put up a webpage with a donation link and then say "Donate to me!" Maybe we should ban donation links, and webpages, and getting money, and then ban politicians, because lets face it, you know they're going to ask for money from you.
...And suddenly a vision of an utopia appeared before my eyes...A land without politicians...it was so beautiful to behold....
But seriously, do you actually believe it's wrong to help out a campaign if it's not in your own district? You can't help out someone who holds your values? (I say values since this was all started by someone saying it's "immoral," whatever that means.) Are you really that insular?
*I kind of think it's just a really clever troll, but I can't tell.
How about we try to stop telling people what they can and cannot do so long as their actions don't step on the fundamental rights of another human being.
Hear hear! Common sense on/. That's got be a first.
You're right, why should anyone want to help out anyone else? I mean, if you're not neighbors with someone then they don't have an effect on your life, right?
Besides what Attila said, it would seem that the Kansas Association of School Boards are the ones who don't seem to "get" evolution. So it would probably be good if he was going against them.
And no, I can't be bothered to go and look up his voting record to see what that says about any of this, fuck research.
And how do you set the standard? Are you going to go by the whole "X at Y level" where X is the subject and Y is the grade? What if a 5th grade teacher has five kids who come into their class and can't read beyond a second grade level? Should she just ignore them and make sure the rest of the kids are at at least 5th grade? Or devote a lot of her time to helping the five kids at the suffering of the other 22? And what if the majority of the class doesn't even get to the fifth grade level, only the fourth? Even if that's a 100% increase, it would still be failing. Should we blame the teachers for helping kids to the best of theirs and hers abilities? And before you ask, no, kids do not get held back for something as simple as not being able to read.
Oh, what's that you say? We should send them to the special education room? Which one, the underfunded, thus understaffed and overworked one? I'm sure that's going to do wonders for those kids. But let's face it, the parents of the "normal" kids don't want to pay for some "special" kids to get "special treatment" just because they're not as smart as little Jimmy Normal.
I think the better idea is to simply fail the schools and take away all their money and then have the district pay to send all the kids to another school district. You know, pay with all that money that's rolling in from the magical fairy elves who love education. You know the ones, they're imaginary.
And about your standards, I'm guessing you want some sort of test for this standard? You know what will NEVER happen, each state definitely won't have their own standard for each grade and therefore each state definitely won't have their version of the test. That will NEVER happen. And since that will NEVER happen, we shouldn't go and set a nationwide standard or anything, because that would be TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT and that would be BADDDDDDDD. Instead, if anything like the above happens we should simply ignore it and move on. Oh and take their money away. Because after all, the kids must be learning something, right? Right? Aren't they?
All of this comes from a teacher of 30 years who is really sick and tired of all of this shit. Seriously, if I have to teach another kid how to JUST pass a test and nothing more, I'll probably %!$*%& [NO CARRIER]
Here's another one who agrees with you. Police officers aren't held accountable for shit, but the military is a totally different matter. I like to think of it as the military taking pride in what it does and the police just wanting to ride around and shoot people. Yes, that's kind of flamey, but then again, probably not on/.
I think when you first install a game neither of those is a problem. However, if you have to install the game again (HDD crash or whatever) and you can't find the serial number, well, thats a problem. And although I back up my game CD's, even those get scratched, and if you can't find your original, you're SOL.
As another comment above me said, the whole "CD in the drive" thing kills the battery, if you're running it on a laptop. Although I don't think a battery would last that long anyway...

And then you found a US proxy and came back as a zombie?
You're forgetting the one line at the end.
As long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else's right to live their life as they please. Of course, that only works if EVERYONE goes by that rule.

I think that it's all the know how to do. I mean, innovation? From those guys?
Yeah, because what the world needs is more avant-garde music, there really isn't enough synth-pop-electro-hillbilly rock out there as it is.
Interesting thought....

If anything deserves to be modded up, the parent here does.

They're trolls.

You should probably stop reading /. in that case

Wow, an actual Republican on /. Will wonders never cease?
From looking at his sig, he obviously didn't believe in what he said enough.
And then they can come and post on /. about the economy! Yay for freedom!
(Joking of course, after all, some of those immigrants might have lives)
Apparently he's doesn't know enough and is going to have some experts help him! Can you believe the nerve of that guy?

So only 23.5 more hours? Thank god! (Kidding, only kidding)
Change of clothes and a whore's bath at work.
Actually I believe that's false.
