  1. Re:Not bound by the statute of limitations? on NASA Sues Apollo Astronaut To Return Moon Camera · · Score: 1

    There is a difference, just not one you've noticed. I'm no fan of the Democrat party, but this whole "they're both the same!!!!" is disingenuous at best, signs of incipient retardation at worst.

    Please point out the difference. Obama is giving the whole show away. The question is, when did he sell out? Before the election, or after?

    There is no difference. The fact is that is now legal for anyone to donate as much to an election as they want anonymously. NO ONE is going to get elected EVER AGAIN unless they support the people who can afford to buy an election, and keep their mouths shut about it in the process. Go big or go home.

    I get so tired of hearing that load of crap. It was filmed at Area 51. And except that Coppola directed it, Hollywood had nothing to do with it.

    No silly, they bought them because of something they heard mentally.

    Heh, yeah, The government seems to be OK with murdering their own citizens without process, or with obviously flawed process. Up to now they have been minorities, Muslim or black, that will change. Just wait around, eventually they will be water boarding little school girls for their lunch money.

    Did I just read that the government is not bound by the statute of limitations?

    ..and here I thought the statute of limitations was specifically there to bind the government.

    ROFL! You make a good point.

    There is no universally right answer, it's a subjective decision.

    Yes, and his decision was to chuck his iPhone and get a Blackberry. What is your point? That people have different opinions? That's what keeps Slashdot running, things like arkane not liking his iPhone, and having the effrontery to say so.

    I'd flag your post as redundant, it is, but I'd rather comment.

    Women go ga-ga over six packs. In order to have a six pack you have to have an absolutely lean body with no fat on it. That and do quite a few situps every day.

    I highly recommend developing one at least once in your life. It's worth the effort, and anyone can do it.

    In any event, I agree. The 12 year old boy comments come from women who think men should love them for their minds. These are the same women who go ga-ga over six packs.

    This is Slashdot, which seems to invent it's own alternate reality (FULL STOP). The headlines and summary spread misinformation, then those are repeated in the comments ad nauseam by the commenters who only get news from Slashdot.

    There, fixed that for you. I'm convinced most Slashdotters have never read a single economics, history, religious, or philosophy book of any practical relevance, let alone a technical reference.

    Those are the only kinds of books I read of late. It gives me a deeper understanding of the world. Which is frankly very depressing these days.
