We cannot go on with this threat to our infrastructure. Write letters to you congress people and demand that they pass a law BANNING ALL SOLAR FLARES! We should take to the streets in protest. We need sanctions! It's time to get tough!
Right on! But you're going way to far here, pardner:
The UN should pass a resolution! Boycott all products that are sun related! Show 'em who's really in charge!
What?! And have the New World Order dictate the American Way Of Doing Stuff(tm)? Nah, the only Truly American(c) way to solve this problem is to constantly shoot any and all of America's god-given(*) firearms at the sun while creating a protective cloud-layer by running all SUVs at full RPM.

Armor, Armour, Armer all all pronounced the same way. Language relates to the spoken word, how it is spelled is up to the intellectuals and academicians. Spelling makes not difference in language. Which is why it surprises me that a symbol that has no unpronounceable is included in this tongue in cheek policing of the language.
Why, welcome to Slashdot, Gov. Palin... what a surprise, nay: honour to have you posting here!
"The annoying part has been the attitude of almost all occasions I've basically felt that arrogance of "YOU ARE NOTHING, WHY THE HELL SHOULD I LET YOU IN, you pitiful European".
Seconded (or thirded, fourth'd, whatever, didn't bother to read the other replys).
What really killed me was my last entry, when the DHS officer spoke worse english than I do (a feat quite hard to accomplish). The whole process feels almost designed to put you off visiting the USA. I mean, they had these sort of motivational posters everywhere, telling the DHS-personnell that they were something like "the calling card of America" (paraphrased) since they would be the first contact any visitor has with the USA. The general feeling of annoyance and unpleasentness, however, was so deep and felt so institutionalized, that I've come to believe it's being done on purpose, and the posters are some kind of cynical joke.
Yes, that's where I was starting from: when you have a 3-finger/scrollwheel-mouse connected to your mac, then obviosly you would use the middle button/scrollwheel of the mouse.(*) In the absence of any external pointy-clicky-rodents you use the trackpad (with or without modifier keys, see above.)
(*) actually... that depends... sometimes while typing I use the trackpd even with a mouse connected, just because it's nearer the keyboard. same thing when I've got an external keyboard and a mouse connected: I then often use the mouse for a mouse and the trackpad for gestures.
"Middle-Click" is [command]-click (i.e.: hold the [cmd]-Key as a modifier while clicking. [cmd] on a Mac-Keyboard is like the [Win]-key on a... well Windows-Keyboard.
Very useful, since the default setting for most web browsers on a Mac for a "Middle-" or "Scroll-Wheel-Klick" is to open a link in a new window or tab. You could achieve the same by Two-Finger-clicking on the touchpad (that's like a Right-Click) and choose "Open link in new window/tab" from the context-menue, but [cmd]-click obviously is much faster.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the (then, 2001, when this started) german Foreign Minister (Secretary of State) Joschka Fischer being a member of the Green Party.
The german Green Party has a tradition of rather sane maxims regarding IT. In late 1998 Germany elected a Social Democrat / Green Party coalition and 2001 seems like a reasonable date for the implementation of descisions made shortly after 1998.
This, of course, is pure conjecture, i'd be grateful if anyone from Germany had any background information on the reasons for the switch.
"I'm sure that no Slashdot reader will intentionally watch any "sport" that has judges determine the winner..."
Er... what else is the Slashdot comment-moderation system but an event that "has judges determine the winner"? And (with the scare quotes) a Slashdot flame-fest surely qualifies as "sport", no?
Unless action is taken, expected extinction in 2010.
Unlike the mighty Ogg. Those valiant, valorous (and something else starting with a v that just slipped my mind) people will thrive, strive and... ah, there I go again. I'm sure it's not "Jonathan Ive", probably rather something like... hive? Belive? It was something like that, I'm sure. Anyways, let us all celebrate and sing the songs of the old, great people: play goodmusic.mid...
"You notice I said Government support, not legal action, nor slander suits [...]"
Yes, I did note that. I did not, however, understand what you were actually trying to say. That may be because of my poor command of english, or because most of the current discourse (and yours in particular) is filled with what you ever so eloquently chose to describe as a "terminology aimed at eliminating the human factor". I believe your (presumed) compatriots call this manner of speech "Gobbledygook".
... maybe sporting one of them inane gel-shaped pseudo-mohawks. Just think of the hours of fun we could have waching them battle mullet vs. globhawk. Maybe some extreme styling, right near the end of the movie: the blow-dryer is wet, but the wet-gel is dry. What to do, what to do... but wait!... The gravity of the moon, some Wet-Gel, a little burst from that Hair-Spray-Can and just one match could... [WOOOOOMP] Ah. Never mind. Who likes bald guys, anyway.
Actually Rammstein was formed in Kyleisabigfag, Germany. The members of the band would rather have the general public not know this, so whenever this bit of information pops up on wikipedia they mobilize their mindless metal-minions towards another edit-war (DER GRÖSSE EDIT KRIEG)... or so someone would like to have you believe.
Technically it's just Hans-Peter Gümpel, a 14-year old student from the suburbs of Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany, who simply can't stand the idea that his favorite DEUTSCHE-TÖT-METALL-ROTZ-KREÜZÜBER-BAND stems from the idyllic town of Kyleisabigfag (Thuringia). Kyleisabigfag, incidentally, is worldwide renown for its floral clock and the biannual Käse-Fest, where the locals let milk go stale for weeks on end, and then have a party about it by rolling the resulting cheese to the nearest train station.
P.S.: The rest of Germany is actually rather embarrassed by the antics of RAMMSTEIN, and would like to apologize in all due form. We know how, and why this happened, but what with censorship on one hand and pseudo-fascist prancers on the other... it was kinda impossible to prevent. Basically you had us coming and going, so we felt we'd just let them do their thing and be ridiculed by the world. Didn't quite work out that way, so sorry, again.
"I have a solution. The solution is available in packs of 100 for ten dollars. [...]"
I have an even better(more eviller)* solution:
My solution is available in packs of units of whatever scale of value you may use, but they will never completely add up to match any purchase you'll ever make. No matter what you buy -- you'll always have unused units left over, or not enough units to buy what you currently desire. By this evingenious invention I shall rule the... what? Someone already did this?
