anything in this world that i can do that does not directly hurt you, is a _right_. i have the right to the pursuit of LIBERTY. you know those words, the pursuit of "life, liberty, and happiness". liberty is the freedom to do anything. the only thing that can limit that is your freedom to do anything. if i limit your liberty, then i have transgressed my own liberty. again, anything in this world that i can do that does directly hurt you, is a right. my right.
We had no business asking him if he had received a blowjob from anyone. If the American public received a lie for asking such a question, the fault is with the public for asking it. Now if he had lied about business that the American public had a right to know about, I would gladly prosecute him... and for the record, I did not like Clinton.
I am an American. I have lots of complaints about my government. I do not like how my government has killed many people for not very good reasons. I have no problems at all with the fact that we dropped nukes on Japan in WWII. It was a declared war. What difference does it make if the people died from bullets, knives, or nukes? I really fail to understand why people make such a big deal over those bombs... other than "wow, that was an impressive bomb!".

It takes imagination and intelligence to appreciate and desire freedom to "do what thou wilt".

What I mean is not that people aren't smart enough for it; they just want to see some escapist entertainment.
The original Star Wars was definitely Sci-Fi and was definitely escapist entertainment.
We are in a time where many people are very uncertain about the future. I don't what to sound like Jon Katz here but events like 9/11 have really affected people deeply. America is not on an upswing right now.
We are _always_ in a time where many people are very uncertain about the future. 11 September 2001 was dramatic, I will grant you that. I would say having a man land on the moon was far more dramatic though. The world did not change with either event.
but the fact is that most people are not. They just don't want to be challenged in such a way -- at least not right now.
People _never_ want to be challenged. The path of least resistance is the path that people will always take. Yes, there are individuals that do not follow this pattern... and many of them end up here, but we are both talking about groups of people.

Ignore it, and get on with your life. The CORRECT answer is, as always, that computers just get old, and slow down. There are SPECIALIZED shops that can give them a tune-up, and you don't have the equipment.
Insightful? Computers "get old and slow down"? WTF? A computer runs at the same speed it always has. It does not have arteries that harden.
Maybe what you meant to say is that Microsoft based operating systems tend towards disorder and appear to operate slower as the internals of the operating system creep towards a disjointed state? Regardless, there is only one solution: reformat and reinstall. Nothing specialized needed.
Major flamebait. The mods even gave you an insightful for it. What a shame that I spent my last few mod points in the "Electric Universe" article. XP does have its flaws and i would submit the idea that you do not have much experience with XP if you have not encountered them.
I see that you were modded insightful based only on your own personal experiences. I have experienced a dozen or more BSODs since XP came out. Yes, that is FAR less than how often 98 and NT crashed, but about on par with 2000. I think it is a shame that you were modded insightful for claiming that XP only misbehaves for people who do not know how to admin, when that is only true for your experiences.
jesus fucking h christ. every song ever recorded, even from before i was born, will be restricted until long after i die? what... the... fuck?!?! how is this even reasonable? how did it happen? i am going to go on a rampage and shoot every mother fucking copyright holder in the world. again. jesus fucking h christ. "we" should revoke the right to publish if "they" revoke the right to copy.
a "perfect" ice cube would melt at all points instantaneously if heat were sufficiently applied. if heat were not sufficiently applied, then uneven heat distribution would create "flaws" and the melting would start from those points.
Actually, I am thinking that it will be older people who will be affected the most. They have no desire for change and live on a fixed income. OTA might be the only entertainment they have.
Bennie Smith is entirely correct -- if ad blocking becomes standard in popular browsers, that will be the end of free content on the web.
no no no no! It will be the end of free corporate content. By writing your comment, you have made content. By replying, I have made content. There are thousands of websites out there that are put up by people who just want to share stuff that they created. Slashdot even started out that way. Even if all of the corporate sponsored content went away, the internet would still be highly useful.
Why pay for content? Create your own content and share it or participate with others who share their content... kind of like you are doing right now with Slashdot. Corporations are welcome to come and play on the internet... but they need to realize that they are not the only game in town. We (I) do not need their content.
These people need to get the message. We don't like advertising. It was reasonably acceptable when it was a little here and there but as it has become more and more in your face it has become some people's mission (mine included) to block it as much as possible.
I concur. I used to read The Register because I liked the news that they covered and I thought their spin was entertaining. Their advertising model became unbearable and I no longer visit their website. These "over the top" advertisers are killing websites.
On the other hand, I am quite happy to use the internet without any corporate sponsored content being available. Most of what I do and most of what I use on the internet does not involve corporations selling things at all. The internet is about communication. Corporate communications are not central to my life.
