  1. Re:The "from the..." Department on Nationwide Domain Name/Yard Sign Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Lack of sex...

  2. Re:Together on Nationwide Domain Name/Yard Sign Conspiracy · · Score: 5, Informative

    RTFA, it explains this (in my own words): The localized domains give the impression that this is a local shop so the perceived likelyhood of finding a match are higher.

    Nine, of course. That's why seven ate nine. ;-)

  6. Dear Slashdot on How Do I Talk To 4th Graders About IT? · · Score: 1

    I have some random IT problem. Can you post it as news on your news aggregation site so that I can get free consultation from a bunch of highly paid IT professionals from around the world? Thanks!

    Hello? Can we stop with the dear slashdot articles in the RSS feed, at least?

    If you had shown your work, you would have gotten partial credit!

  9. Re:Thanks from the reminder on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    That's just silly. Many libertarian points of view actually fall in line with the "republican" stance on things. Prime examples: Gun control and smaller government.

  10. Re:99% off-topic question on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    Also, let's face it, 9 months out of a 48 month term is 18.75% of his entire first term in office. Can anyone really claim that the elected president isn't really ready to be president after nearly 1/5th of their term is behind them? Come on, they should honestly be ready to rock on day one. Those hijackers could have easily planned the attack for January instead of September.

    DesScorp, how many friggin' times have you posted on this topic? Good lord, got something to prove?

    And after I said anything about Clinton, I figured the first person seeing thepost was going to mark it flamebait anyway, most of /. seems to be liberals anyway.

    Are you implying that liberals are bad people? I know you're implying some stereotype about all liberals here but I can't pin it down to one thing. In any case, saying "Nobama" is just like a liberal saying "McBush" or one of those other not-so-clever name-calling mechanisms people have come up with lately. It's childish and it doesn't do anything but raise tempers, so don't bother with it. Nobody is going to make their candidate look better by bashing the other one. The important part is to gather your own information based on facts. Don't know what's a fact? I'm sure they aren't perfect, but you can start with wikipedia and its references, factcheck.org and even government sites that show what candidates have voted on in the past. It's not just black & white. Not everyone is either a conservative or a liberal. I'd argue that more of slashdot follows libertarian thought patterns than democratic ones.

  13. Re:Thanks from the reminder on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, really his stances were more affable to democrats even earlier this year, before he got the republican nomination. When he was arguing against other republicans he made his "liberal republican" stances very well known, but now in an effort to get back those farther to the right, he has started to flip or obscure some of his stances.

  14. Re:Thanks from the reminder on How Close Were US Presidential Elections? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bush was basically saying he was going to keep the military in there without funding if they didn't give him the money he needed. That means they'd run out of ammo, armor, food and everything else they need to maintain their positions. It would have cost even more lives, and you and I both know the president is to blame for that, but one thing Bush and the republicans are very good at is saying "It's your fault!" to the other side and getting people to buy it.

  22. Re:This makes me want to send a rude email. on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    Based on the visual structure, where comments have parents and grandparents, deleting a comment in the middle would make the rest of the structure break or lose context at least. I don't blame them for not wanting to outright delete comments, but maybe they could consider changing them to something like "This comment has been removed by the author".

    In fact, can we get this tagged "Duh" please? Seriously, who thinks an advertising company is not mining every piece of data they can to figure out where else they can make money?
