My point was that it is NOT a logical fallacy. The slippery slope argument applies whenever the ideas/assumptions behind group A's actions would, carried out to their logical extent, be the end result of the said slippery slope argument. Perhaps someone would like to make up for my shitty vocab and voice my argument more, um, accurately.
Your headline brought up this: when he starts comparing languages or, to be more specific, makes the blanket statement that better hackers like Python over Perl I am reminded of the fact that the best hackers actually use OCAML and Objective-C.
"No they don't", you cry, "the best hackers user Assembly and Visual Basic".
"No, you're a fucking moron", someone else pipes up, "the best hackers use Pascal and COBOL."
"No, you are a fuckwit," a voice from the back of the croud screams, "Fortran and Algol are the languages of the best hackers".
"Quiet you fools," an elderly guru from the wings yells out, "I happen to know that the best hackers use Perl when they aren't dictating their programs to their secretaries to be outsourced to Taiwan to be compiled into Haskell"
"Shows what you know old man", a kid in the front row sneers, "the l33t hax0rs use Lisp and C++".
Well anyway, it looks like this might go on for a while, please enjoy the other comments while we try and work this out..
That doesn't matter, the point is to clamp down on what the plebs can see and hear. The consolidation of federal power has been going on since Hamilton, and this is just one small step for mankind's enslavement. Considered in the light of other news, anyone can see what direction we are headed in. "Slippery Slope" is not a fallacy, it is usually correct.
What I am wondering is if the SIP calls will part of the standard contract. Of course, many users will want to be able to use their own service instead (less $).
GNAA Penetrates Popular Pirating Network
By Commander Trollco
Chicago, IL - The GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) announces their forcible entry into the Soulseek filesharing network. This action was tasked to faggot tar baby Lysol, who created the GNAA's first slsk chatroom. This development is expected to make thousands of gay nigger converts as nigger-seed-virus laced mp3s and FLACs are injected into rooms Underground Hip-Hop and Jazz (Full CDs), among others. GNAA member Lysol commented, "With our new slsk chatroom GNAA we will be able to spread our holy nigger seed to copyright violating music pirates the world over!". He then proceeded to fuck Jazz (Full CDs) founder Lamig with his massive nigger dong, making her the third human female(after the Olsen twins) to be impregnated with the holy gay nigger seed.
Already, signs of niggerdom are spreading. Last Measure is being distributed on the network by persons not directly known to the ghey darkies.

Just so you know, US MREs come with a flameless heater. The heater you describe in French MREs sounds like it has to be lit, which is very bad in a combat environment. The US heaters are a pouch about the size of the entree pouch, but with less volume. A small amount of water initiates an exothermic reaction that gives off Hydrogen Gas as a byproduct.
By inserting the open end of the heater pouch into a properly-sized carton (the entree pouch comes in one), the gas has no escape, and voila! Heater bomb. Fun stuff.
No. Your RIAA/Napster/Burpee licence only allows these music files to be played on certain select annuals. The plant DRM prevents transfer to other species.
No way, they should patent the process of getting a lame-assed patent. Think of how much money they could make in just the first week of enforcement... and half their competition would be dead in a week from infringement suits.
I know you're trolling, but maybe some more manned exploration would be worthwhile. Just think, we could send people to orbit Titan and look for signs of life. It is around the triple point of Methane much as we are around the triple point of water, CH4 could be the central to Titanian biology. Just don't try to land on Europa...
Drugs banned; pr campaign follows; "Now, it's part of our culture. Walk down the street and you can find zillions of people who actually believe that pot kills."
Video games up next.
Anyone else see the many parallels with firearm bans? Blaming something inanimate(a Rifle, GTA3, Sweet Mary Jane) for human crimes is the first one. The slander against said objects' image. A stupid, sheeplike, easily exploited populace is the intended result, although to be fair it is a cause as well as effect.

Anyway, I am a long-time user of Yahoo! webmail, and am quite satisfied. The interface isn't great, but usable enough for me. It was a little prettier with javascript, but no functionality has been lost for disallowing it. No spam whatsoever, so apparently they don't sell your name off like hotmail does. Let's hope this acquisition improves the service.
You aren't being bombarded with crap. Turn off the TV, nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch. Try growing a backbone or even some character, maybe it will make tolerating those evil evil curse words easier. Your right to not be offended does not exist. If it did, any idiot would be able to dictate what content reaches their neighbor's ears./flame off
Moe Syzlack saying "won't someone think of the children!". That part always creeped me out. Remember "Syphyl-O's"? Yeah, we know what you were thinking about, ya pervert.
Yes, the magnetic field does deflect a lot of solar radiation. Warning: blatant oversimplification!
Much of the solar flux comes in the form of charged particles, such as Hydrogen ions and electrons. Electrically charged particles are deflected by magnetic fields. Thus, a major portion of the solar wind does not reach the surface of Earth. To find out more, here is a helpful link.
Possible flamebait/troll here:
No legal solution will ever work for spam. There is a small but significant market of morons who will buy the penis pills and fake mortgages that are being advertised to them. Combine that with how easily SMTP headers can be forged, and you end up with a situation that lends itself to spam. Any legal solution that would be even marginally effective will create more problems than it solves.
You emphasize the well regulated militia part, and this puts you in agreement with the US Supreme court(don't ask me to look up which opinion). However, viewed with regard to the Declaration of Independence, the 2nd amendment is not for the purposes of a state militia, it is to ensure that the people always have their "armed revolt" option open. It is essentially a threat of violence against the rulers, should they become oppressive (cough DEA cough Carnivore cough Echelon cough).
It would be wise to remember that Britain was not a "foreign invader", it was our own government.
The US was founded by radical, violent militiamen of the sort we marginalize today.
Here's a little bit as it relates to music. Some of my jam buddies like pot alot, one of them enough to be considered a pothead. They can play pretty well while high. They also say they don't play as well, but I haven't noticed. I simply suck at playing music of any kind while high, buthave observed an interesting effect. The night after getting high (especially if it was a jam night), jazz improvisation comes easily, and is of a more coherent, flowing nature. This is just one person's experience, hardly a decent sample size, but it seems that marijuana can indeed have a positive effect on the mind.
So these flashbacks are mostly visual? Perhaps they might not be caused by the LSD use at all. I have never done any true hallucinogen, yet visual artifacts are quite common for me, and I would expect that everyone gets them. They are usually just an "under the radar" thing, mentally. It might be that the user now associates the mind-generated visuals with the LSD experience, and is more likely to notice the otherwise-ignored noise.

Installed 0.91 today, and it is a bugged piece of shit. Javascript is borked, as well as href links to jar files. Thus, no way to replace the ugly new theme from the (very limited) selection of themes available at the new dl location. I don't allow js very often, so it is an annoyance rather than a crippling bug. I would report more problems, but the 0.8 archive was right there and oh so convenient...
Bugs reported by other people:
href to a.mid borked, much like href to.jar
constantly asking to be updated (supposedly fixed)
CPU consumption/hang on certain badly written pages, lasting as long as the page is open
Not a bug, just my opinion, but each release gets successively uglier.
The Moz team must be on crack,.91 is just terrible.
I don't know too much about Helix, so I could be way off, but I would agree with the parent poster sentiment. It may be GPLed, but it's from RM... {cue scary music}. I will admit that they have improved a little recently (tried on a friends comp, use R-alternative meself).

For once, that link is on-topic, and someone had to beat me to it! :-( Touchedmyjunk is a treasure, my favorite is the "Linus Torvalds" one. Lol.
