I thought race didn't matter in a non-racist world.
Why the fuck would you think that, unless you are ignorant?
Being non-racist doesn't mean pretending race doesn't exist. In fact, pretending it's not there is racist in itself. See, for example, Stephen Colbert where he pretends he can't tell if one of his guests is white or black because he "doesn't see race".
A white, 47-year-old noobie senator with no resume wouldn't have had a chance in this election.
What? Agains McCain/Palin? He'd have plenty of chances. A 20-year-old high-school dropout would probably have a decent chance of meeting McCain. It's pretty hard to vote for a guy going senile right in front of the nation, and his bimbo friend from Alaska.
Some parades were meant to be rained on. Do you really believe that every parade should have sunny skies and record attendance? Even those of Illinois Nazis?
What's the significance of this story supposed to be? People have been designing things without proprietary software for centuries. Ever heard of pencil and paper? I don't see people bragging about using those tools... so what's the big deal if somebody uses Free software to do the same thing?
Purple ink helps. Quite simple. Works elsewhere, but clearly too good for US elections.
No, the purple ink was just a PR stunt, not an anti-fraud measure. What's to stop people from washing off the ink and going back to vote again? But hey, keep believing that the purple ink was about anything other than propaganda.
These are the offices I'm most afraid of. If I find out that the office has on site showers, I run for the hills. I need my life outside of the office and would rather the office not try to be my second home.
But the truth is that you don't take showers at home either, and you're simply afraid of washing, isn't it?
the new game will be PC only, and LucasArts is hoping to snipe some of the World of Warcraft customer base.
I already knew that corporations had almost unbridled powers, but murdering customers of a competing product? That seems rather mean-spirited, even for LucasArts.
Why does neither the game, nor the AI races, react appropriately when I take my ship to their homeworld and suck up all its atmosphere, turning the ancestral home of their race into a barren rock, coated with bones and ashes? Shouldn't that deserve a message less generic than "You hurt our planet."?
I'll hazard a guess: Spore is a craptacular game developed by hacks.

Uhhh, when did Obama promise a "utopia"? I must have missed that campaign promise. Or maybe you just made it up?
Now, exactly what am I supposed to be feeling guilt or shame for because I was born a white guy? I have no guilt or shame about anything.
So, what's your problem, then? Were you the AC that "erroneus" was replying to?
Not voting Obama does not necessarily indicate racism.
No, but voting Republican does indicate stupidity.
You take part of my labor and give it to someone that chose not to work as hard. You have made me their slave. They are now more 'equal' than I.
But what about all the people who work *harder* than you, and subsidize your welfare? Are you making them your slaves?

Except for those who don't. There are plenty of "unsuccessful" people who are happy to accept it.
Modulated farting? Oh my god, Michael Moore is a terrorist!
Way to rain on his/her parade!

IOW, it is absolutely unneeded on the iPhone.
Unless you have a bandwidth-limited plan, or a slow network connection. Did you even bother to read the post you were replying to?

That was exactly my thinking when I launched DocForge [docforge.com].
It's not a site about forging documents? Then why name it that way?
But why did he want to buy the cables, rather than simply test them?
You say tomayto, I say tomahtoe.
Even better, it belongs in the "I hate Republicans and limited government" section.
Hang on a minute - Republicans are for "limited government"? Where in the hell did you get that absurd notion from?

Once you're done voting, it goes right into the scanner, which will complain if there's a mis-vote (too many votes in a race, race missed, etc.)
Sigh. Why is it always about race?

Also ED-209 should have used rubber bullets instead of real bullets to take in the suspect alive instead of dead.
I'm pretty sure that rubber bullets fired from ED-209's twin miniguns would be just as lethal to a human as the regular bullets.
If these are military robots, wouldn't the switch already be set to "kill"?
Your OS prevents you from backing up your downloaded games? Which OS might that be?
So, it's protecting User Mode from audio?

I just use the one blank card. I stole it from some Doctor guy.
