You failed to capitalize 'Slashdot'. The adjective 'previous' doesn't have a noun to modify. You should hyphenate 'spellcheck-running'. Usage of all-caps for emphasis is probably ungrammatical, but I might let that slide.
Man, the grammar Nazis are really sliding in quality these days.
Ugh, next thing you know Google is going to allow companies to pay to get their site linked when people search things!
Seriously. You can already grab a list of who someone follows using the public free API, and it looks like paid content is going to be clearly demarcated, just like with sponsored tweets.
"So which of the emumerated powers in the U.S. Constitution give Federal Government the power to redistribute individual wealth, provide for individual education, provide for individual welfare and security?"
Article I, section 8: "The Congress shall have Power...to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States." Providing for the welfare of the individual, as well as providing them with an education, falls under general welfare.
"Why is it that the unborn are deprived of life without due process?"
The unborn are not legally considered 'people,' so abortion isn't unconstitutional any more than hunting animals is.
If you think that intellectual property laws are more important than Iraq or global warming, you're retarded. I'd much rather be alive and have some of my rights restricted than dead, poor, but free. Maybe I'm just weird.
The tricky part is establishing the legal principle that forces everyone to go through the DNS. You have to make it illegal to send a packet to an IP address unless you have obtained that IP address through a DNS lookup. Or something like that...

That is not a grant of power. The "common defense and general welfare of the United States" is a limit on the purposes to which Congress may use the money gotten by taxes, duties, imposts and excises. Okay, fine, I'll give you this. I'd then argue that they are spending the money gotten by taxes or whatever on this project, which is intended to provide for general welfare.
The common defense and the general welfare are to accomplished using the powers expressly granted to the legislative branch of the Federal government. Huh? How are you getting that from
The Congress shall have power To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States
Except they always hijack requests that are results of searches like the auto-"I'm Feeling Lucky" one in firefox, and there's no setting to disable it. You have to e-mail support and ask them to disable it.
Plus there's the thing where they automatically rewrite the URL firefox uses for it's address bar autosearching into one that uses their own yahoo-based search, and you can't turn it off unless you e-mail support. Which is why I don't use OpenDNS.
Come on, officer. Yes, I have a fully-automatic tazer set to stun anybody who comes within 25 feet of my house, but we all know that people who aren't causing trouble are in the minority, right?
The telemarketers have had the time now to engineer systems around the loopholes built into the law, so that we're pretty much back where we were before.
Don't think so? How many prosecutions have there been under the law in the last year?
And how many telemarketing calls have been made, compared with before the law was passed? You can't prosecute something that doesn't happen.
Pluto's planethood isn't just determined by size, it's determined by four factors: whether it's large enough to be round under its own gravitational force (check), whether it's too small to be undergoing fusion (check), whether it's orbiting a star or stellar remnant (check), and whether it has cleared its neighborhood of all other bodies (wrong; it makes up only 7% of all mass in its orbit).
How much effort does it take to read a monthly newsletter that goes out with your name on it? Even if he didn't suspect that the people who were writing it were racist, I think it'd be reasonable to still be seeing what they think about things? It's not like the newsletter contained subtle distortions of facts that'd require lots of research to uncover.
In other words, these people have been publishing shit under his name for several years, and he didn't bother stopping them, and yet he's responsible enough to lead the country?
So basically, you're saying that he shouldn't be held responsible for what his associates did, and that it's not his fault? And you want this man to run a country?
I agree; the federal Department is too decentralized to be doing any good. But here we disagree; I think that it should be given more power, while you think it should be less.
And if your kid turns to violence because he can't get a job, he gets jailed for the violence, not put on welfare.
I don't think that in general knowledge of the creation of the world or other such topics is necessarily useful for the stereotypical burger-flipping job, so your argument doesn't work. But I do believe that a parent shouldn't be able to teach their kids things that they have no evidence for and then say "well he went through high school"; I support a standardized test that the kid should have to take in order to be able to say he has a GED or something. As for who should administer the test, I don't know. Perhaps we could have some sort of government department that deals in education-related material... hmm...

Yeah, until you jerk your head involuntarily in reaction to something exciting on the TV.

yeah, but nobody writes a wikipedia article about a specific pottery bowl. people write articles about ancient chinese pottery.

Yeah they can. But that's a pretty anomalous event, and I think the article is talking about the standard methods of black hole formation.

The unborn are not legally considered 'people,' so abortion isn't unconstitutional any more than hunting animals is.
Actually, when an article is deleted and then undeleted, the original author still maintains attribution.

It's about 3 years old if if you recall correctly?
Yes, I too prefer to do all of my science via models with no controlled testing in the real world.

This would certainly not lead to a huge amount of squabbling about the precise definitions of the various safety levels!
"If you're so concerned about OpenDNS playing around with your information, use this other site! They're trustworthy, I swear!" Not convinced.
