And then you fire. And then there's a big gaping hole in the fuselage. And then you watch your oxygen leave the plane, and put on those mask things. And then you try to fire your gun again, but it won't fucking work without oxygen, you idiot.
The right considers him a "maverick" and the left considers him the average hard-right man. Pretty much the same situation as Hillary but reversed. Both are in the same electoral positions--all their internal liberties have been filled and they should be removed from the board.
No, I can't vote with my dollars. You can wax on and wax off about "not needing broadband internet" but considering that it's becoming increasingly difficult to even get a job without good Internet service there's a problem. And considering that large barriers to entry create monopolies(duopolies if you're lucky) and all the choices suck, you have a problem. And the "two, four, or eight years" thing is an artifact of the US political system not having much precedent. If we could recall federal elections, we wouldn't have to wait.
The tubes thing wasn't actually the stupid part of the Ted Stevens speech. The stupid part(and actually the part that the original Slashdot and Digg articles about the stupid speech used for their headlines) was calling an email an internet.
The BBC are definitely on the better end of journalism, that being both reason for and symptom of its betterness. The fact that every single Prime Minister of England hated the BBC is another piece of evidence that it's pretty awesome.
Less than a tenth of a percent of welfare money goes to people who don't need it(most of these people are committing something called fraud, which is something they would do in some other way were welfare not available). Actually, I'd say more people need it than get it. Interesting how the United States has the lowest welfare, and also the highest crime, poverty, teen pregnancy, etc. rates. Also interesting how those rates have decreased just as welfare increased. The welfare system isn't perfect but it's a damn sight better than no welfare system.
But, most importantly, what if I want to read a book that is not mainstream enough to warrant the distribution of an ebook?
Actually, ebooks are the best things to happen to non-mainstream literature. It means you no longer have to use a publisher but can instead find some program online to convert your document files into ebooks.
Either way, people are actually reading them, whereas if the world limited itself to stuff Slashdotters liked to read, aliteracy would be much, much higher.
Last I checked, Mac users are people who bought a product. If Macs were free software and ran on commodity hardware, you might have a case for saying that. But people who bought Macs, bought them, and they get to use them as they wish, because they bought them. Oh, and Macs were beige too, by the way.
No. Paper books have exactly one major benefit over ebooks, which will never go away. That isn't that you turn pages or have a sensory experience. Paper books have the benefit that unlike ebooks, paper books don't become completely useless when you run out of power.
Who's Joan Collins? I looked her up on Wikipedia and it came up with some actress. It then vaguely mentions that she wrote books but nothing about them.
The meddling USA is the prime facilitator of Islamic fundamentalism. We also send quite a bit of money to Saudi Arabia, which is the most powerful Arabic nation in the world, and also runs the Wahabi sect, the most fundamentalist sect in the Islamic world. During the Cold War the United States fucked up its diplomatic relations with the Arab world incredibly badly, and now is reaping what it sows.
The Kremlin has never funded terrorists and the documents the neocons used to claim those things were in fact so-called "Black Propaganda" released by the CIA to dissuade neutrals from the USSR by associating them with terrorists. And of course, Islamic terrorism has always been a joke given that we've had only two attacks in the past two decades whereas white supremacists and anti-choicers* have made made over 32 attacks in 2007 alone.
*You lose the right to be called pro-"life" when you try to take the life of mothers and abortion doctors. (The hypocrisy of the rest of the movement is outside the scope of this post but I assure you it involves the correlated positions against birth control and methods of helping the mothers who have these babies)
I'm not fully sure how gun control fell into the Democratic bucket in the first place. Probably because the NRA are a bunch of idiots and make restrictive gun control look like a good thing. Actually, the first comprehensive system of gun control was created by a California governor named Ronald Reagan in response to the Black Panthers stopping one too many cycles of police brutality.
Actually Google tries as hard as it can to prevent anyone but their own robots from looking at your mail--and funnily, they recieved flak from Slashdot for "bowing down to China but not to the US government"...I guess Google can't win here

Clinton and Kosovo? Of course, remember what Sun Tzu says about winning without fighting.
O RLY? I hardly know 'er!
Hell, things were worse in 1900. The newspapers invented stories outright back then--Remember the Maine; remember how people are led to war.
Wow, so many knees jerking, I think that it might have even thrown off the orbit of the Earth...

And as an alteran there is OmaDesala which, of course, runs AncientOS and unlike the iPhone can help you ascend.

The guy seriously has "Blag" in his name? I knew xkcd had influence on the real world but this was unexpected...

I disagree!
Just don't vote for Nathan--he'll send the country in the wrong direction.
