If the same asshole I hated working for 5 years ago is interviewing me at a job tomorrow, I'm not working there. No fucking way. I've lived under asshole bosses and doing it again with foreknowledge just isn't worth it. But then I've still got some fuck-you money from before the dot-bomb days...
No, not having seen the site, I was trying to see how, based on the part of their site you quoted, they were obviously biased. That quote didn't indicate it as far as I could tell.
Well 'corporations, governments and special interests' can describe nearly any organization. Why does producing a directory of them make them biased? If I work for a 'special interest' trying to influence public opinion am I liberal or conservative? Republican or Democrat? You assume they are liberal because of 'corporations' in that statement, but there is little to support your view.
It's not 'lucky', it's setting expectations properly. Of course that's harder to do if your expenditures are larger than your income, and/or you don't have lots of savings.
Well, for the most part we use Coal and other sources of power to generate Electricity (the useful product of nuclear power), not oil. So it's not that much of a stretch to oppose the war and nuclear power.
Most likely a 'Joe-Job'...Ask your ISP about SPF

Since the SMTP protocol doesn't have any authentication of the sender (except within an ISP/Domain with SMTP-AUTH), it's easy for a spammer/virus to send mail pretending to be you. That's called a 'joe-job' after one of the early occurrences of it. A recently proposed solution (though not without it's problems) is SPF (Sender Policy Framework) http://spf.pobox.com/ where a domain owner can publish the list of servers which are authorized to send mail as being from a user of their domain. Until it's widely deployed, not just on the publishing side, but on the checking side, it won't be real useful. However it's nearly trivial for the DNS owner to publish the records and since big ISPs like AOL and Yahoo are starting to check them it does protect you from being Joe-Jobbed to a large number of mailboxes.
Well, that depends on whether you're right or not and whether you've got the $$s to back that up in court. A friend was 'arrested for being black' by the LAPD. She was from a rich family and the cop had obviously made a mistake. The family lawyer got a letter of apology from the department, then parlayed that letter of apology (as admission of guilt of wrongful arrest) into $250,000.
So, sometimes it can be to your benefit to stand up to police. And that's ignoring the fact that if you don't stand up for your rights to officer of the law then you in fact live in a police state, regardless of the letter of the law.
Which I don't understand. I walked into the Apple Store (Corte Madera) on Saturday, plunked down $230 (student discount) for my wife's iPod Mini, and $115 for my Airport Express (open box). Didn't have to wait at all and they had every color in stock.
The cheap-ass thermos bottle you (well those of us out of our youth) carried to school didn't work all the well a) because glass conducts heat pretty good and b) the vacuum in them was poor and easily broached.
Um no. Well, at least no to part 'a'. Glass conducts heat about 12 times more slowly than stainless steel:
Thermal Conduction, but you're right about the 'easily broached' part. I broke more thermoses as a kid than I can count (before they went to cheap plastic).
Might I suggest fixing a nice dinner as a social event alternative to going to the movies with friends/relatives? It's cheaper and you get to socialize the entire time without having people around you to STFU:-)
Sure, but there are times when you want to be able to phone up Grandma... I'd like to see someone come up with something like this: http://www.tpc.int/ It's a loosely organized group of people who share their local fax modem and computer in order to minimize the 'last hop' to a fax machine. The idea would be that people could install their own VOIP=>POTS gateways and share them over the net. Of course, they wouldn't be any more secure than trusting some random hotel operator (only without any supervision) to not listen in on your calls, but it would avoid organized listening.
170 minutes of my life I'll never get back. A confusing pointless parade of cameos of stars which you hopelessly grapple for in hopes that they will be the sign of the start of a story line worth caring about.

Well, sure, but that's only if you 'use English;' to make the perl more readable.

Can Wierd Al still parody it, using sample from it? Can I sample some music in a auditory report I do for a class?

If you think the iPod and anything from Dell are identical, you're already smoking something way better than what the guy who wants the Dell is on.

Definitely not a good trade off. I'm a former Microsoft Word user; every other keystroke is Ctrl-S
Do not. I repeat Do Not get a wife hoping for more regular sex than you get from girlfriends.
Or random girls you meet in bars.

But so I could _NOT_ run into her.
I kept running into her with my new girlfriend (obtained after the breakup with the wife). It was awkward, to say the least...

Nope, those are just lying in their graves!

Just give Bush a few more years and 'our' current government will be 'your' then government. :-(
Not sure about your state, but in California, you should be able to get the court to void the judgement if you can show you were never served.
Right, I make my MP3s myself from music I bought in other formats.

My console is a 300 baud teletype you insensitive clod!
