(or at least I tell myself that, because I wouldn't want to fix it if it weren't broken)
That's some false logic there. That's like saying, "my car's working just fine, so there shouldn't be any problem when I run into that tree."
The problem is that people don't get what's going on, and the news isn't helping. It's not someone in India or any other country "stealing" jobs that is the problem, its the fact that a company can do an end run around minimum wage rates by leaving the country for jobs.
It's the individual companies that are taking away the *opportunity* for employment that are the problem.

Believe it or not, in a lot of countries, the elderly are revered for simple life experience (not a narrow range of technical expertise which is common). And hence they are cared for by the family.
Unless someone is mentally ill or requires 24 hour supervision, it's simply shirking responsability to deposit someone in "a home."
They took the time to raise you, take the time to return the favor.
"Except the Xbox also ships with SOFTWARE, with the software there is a EULA that says there is no warranty or fitness of any kind given!"
Except it's the hardware that's overheating. And I'd bet that kind of language won't fly in court. For example, there are prenup agreements that say the husband will get the kids by default in case of divorce, but the judge still gets to decide against that if he chooses. People leave their company for Google even though they sign noncompete clauses. Just because someone can say something in an EULA doesn't mean its enforcable.
I used to feel the same way, but think of it in the long term. If you're going to use military force to keep your citizens in order, that's occupation by a military dictatorship. And as we've seen in cases such as Vietnam and Iraq, they still manage to inflict damage over the long term. Now take the population of either of those countries and multiply it many times, and you see where your argument fails.
The concept of forks is great, if only a small amount of forks occur. Two people with differing ideas is great, two HUNDRED people with different ideas is a logistic nightmare at worst and a headache at best.
I think it's more along the lines of, if you come to my house, see my paint color and just want to take a picture and get the same color for your hours.
I think we all should post only things about duplicating articles on slashdot in this story and nothing else. Maybe, just maybe the "editors" will get a hint. Though I use the phrase as loosely as possible.
The real answer is that we need an internet constitution, with members from all governments that use the internet, and the citizens of each country choose the representitive.

Then I hate to break this to you, but the oort cloud, which is part of our solar system, is between 50,000 and 100,000 Astronomical Units away:

The other 4 are just bad at math.

Did anyone else read this and picture troops in humvees laying fiber optic cables around the US?

It's still not as awesome as the BFL:

The difference?
Robots.txt works more often than an "unsubscribe" link. Assuming the spam even has one. Oh, and google is a legitimate company.

I fully expect to see the word cromulent in the dictionary before I die.
Its not so foolish if you just grep'd a text file of it. :)

If you can listen to previews of songs on walmart.com then you have access to 30 second ringtones, for free.
Next thing you know, they'll be suing the creators of Mario when people start jumping down open manholes.

You have to pay back to mozilla the suggested retail price.
Damn man, just order a pepsi.
You must work at Starbucks.
Anyone have anything debunking this?
But that's too utopian to be feasable.
