"Although my working theory is that folks want to think of Americans as war-mongering, self-righteous Puritans, and this idea plays nicely into that stereotype"
Trust me, as an American, we're assholes, nothing else.
LISTER: (to KRYTEN) See? You see what he's like? He winds me up, man.
There's no reasoning with him.
KRYTEN: If you'll allow me, Sir, as one mechanical to another. He'll
understand me. (Addressing the TOASTER as one would address an errant
child) Now. Now, you listen here. You will not offer ANY grilled
bread products to ANY member of the crew. If you do, you will be on
the receiving end of a very large polo mallet.
TOASTER: Can I ask just one question?
KRYTEN: Of course.
TOASTER: Would anyone like any toast?
KRYTEN: Didn't you HEAR what I just said?
TOASTER: Yes, but I thought you might have changed your mind in the
meantime.
I did something like that, but we had to list all the ways. So I got about 15 combinations and wasn't finished yet, and the teacher looked at my list and said those weren't real coins. This was in 3rd or 4th grade I think. And yes, I collected coins, this is SLASHDOT, remember.
it means that they're the right mixture of ease of use and utility. Just like when normal windows end users didn't want to phone microsoft they used a keygen that let them product activate. At least this seems more legal, or "less immoral." Whatever that means...
We stole your car! But don't worry, we'll only give it away, not sell it.
I guess they read the GPL a little better and realized you lose rights by selling this.
I think you're believeing these viruses are for the wrong target. Because most teens with a life don't give a shit about their phone beyond it having mp3s and a camera. The people with symbian OS are either (a) rich or (b) nerds. The virus writers are jealous nerds who are too poor to afford one.
"Linux, gaming or hacker convention? How many have gone to some sort of industry conference?"
Most of these serve some defined constructive purpose. Yes, entertainment is a purpose, but it doesn't necessarily teach, improve you, or get you money.

Just make sure you put some KY on your heterojunction. For...uhm...cooling purposes. Yeah...that's the ticket.
Mods, this is a JOKE, treat it accordingly.
And yes, that's a social commentary.
Better yet, if it's not your keyboard, just put them back randomly. Just make sure they're in the right row, otherwise it's obvious to the n00bs.
Wooden keyboards? Wouldn't you rather have bugs you can't see: http://academics.smcvt.edu/sburks/BI108.htm
Wait. He stole stuff, from a place he built, when he didn't have to. And how does this not qualify him for moron status?
Trust me, as an American, we're assholes, nothing else.
That is possibly *the* coolest sounding word I've ever heard.
"Manipulate," and, "throw away with a keenex," are two very different things.

No way do I want to be Janeway, I do *not* want to attract men. Unless she were a lesbian...hmmm...brb.

I'm sure he was just trying to get her drunk so that he could arrest her for driving drunk later and fill is quota.

...that would be scary. All the tech support jobs would cease to exist.
If you were sentenced to 18 more months, wouldn't you worry about your backside?

Welcome to America, where individuality is shunned, and being popular is a career.
We must all find 1 theater that a whole bunch of people are waiting at and pre-order all tickets for opening day. I'd pay $20 to see their faces...
AOL needs only one: ASL.
Anyone who is, or believes themselves to be suitably smart will use their own language subset and condescend. Have you ever read a Dr.'s note?
