Your first sentence threw me off because I thought you didn't realize i used the slogan sarcastically, but i'll assume you knew that. Your letter suggested you're not American. Just to let you in on it, we don't all sit around and whine on/. But our values, (the real values, not the horrible alpha-male corrupt values the military-industrial-complex wants us to think are our values), *include* sitting around and whining. It's not a bad thing. It's not like we could have been out supporting small politicians at 11 PM. Your idea is a good one, though.
I guess we should just let the New York Times and friends run this operation - since you apparantly trust everything they
I remember when I thought trolls like this might be on to something - since they apparantly (sp?) use the same words and phrases constantly, like 'liberal', 'New York Times', '9/11 changed everything'. Also, they were/are incredibly paranoid of everything Clinton ever said or did, which I thought was stoopid at the time, but then began to see the benefits of giving the Executive Branch as much credibility as Satan, even if they seemed to flip-flop on that the instant Bush came into power.
But recently I've seen the light...anyone, anyone, who refers to you and the New York Times in a parallel structure, is doing it for shock value. There is no intellectual merit to their argument whatsoever; it's supposed to be unsubtly hypnotizing, like a David Lynch flick, as you wonder what it all means.
But it means nothing. Anyone still doing this ought to realize..9/11 CHANGED EVERYTHING
I remember reading about Deep Space 1 and it's Ion engine about 8 years ago. I was most impressed that the thrust is about that felt on your hand by a piece of paper when held on Earth.
So tell me, how long would it take to equal the bandwidth of the Library of Congress?
Why is my comment rated Troll? I hate having karma go from Good to Terrible in a single post!
I hate the way people moderate me Funny...and then a day later, start moderating me all the way down as Troll...hey no shit sherlock, it's a day-old-joke! I get 0 karma for the laugh and -10 karma for the after-laugh! It's like Slashdot is an annoying kid that every time he laughs, he says "....but that's not funny ha-ha, it's funny sad!"
I'm sick of posting on Slashdot. I'm a good natured guy who just wants some positive feedback, but mostly I like getting interesting replies for everyone to read!
Stop Troll-rating *jokes* that people find funny! And for god's sake don't moderate this Funny or it'll happen all over again!

I'll pit my skills against almost anyone, and if I don't come out on top it won't be because I'm using UltraEdit and their using Eclipse, it'll be because they are actually better and would beat me if we were using the exact same tools, which is as it should be. But, I'll tell you this: I'll clobber many people that bring their big, fancy IDEs to the party, no question in my mind about it.
Okay, I was driving around last night in my car...trying to think of a name for the drug, and suddenly it hit me.
The name?
No, a bird hit my windshield. When that happened, I got depressed.
Not you, Cisco.
Yeah, even me. But as soon as I got depressed, I got "undepressed"... 'cause as I was cleaning the gleaming guts off my windshield...I thought of the name for the drug-- Gleemonex!
The slogan?
Gleemonex makes you feel like it's 75 degrees in your head...all the time.
AOL is evil. They have been evil since the C-64 days. At no time have they not been evil.
So, giving AOL a billion dollars to continue their work IS evil.
I'm going to rag on the whole "Evil Google" meme for a second here. You can call something Evil all you want. But everything's relative, and at the end of the day, these statements are no more philosophically monumental than it would be if you were posting on Slashdot referring to the Holocaust as Evil and for Google to index Holocaust pages as Evil.
The truth is, what are you going to do about this Evil? If you plan to do nothing whatsoever, then you are just as Evil as the original act.
In my opinion, we're going to need an addendum to Godwin's Law very soon: once you sit back on your tush and declare something Evil, you have already lost the moral argument!
But the way I look at it is "I trust Google more than I trust Microsoft, Yahoo, and AOL combined; I'd rather use Google's service".
How does that work exactly, combining trust values? I bet the sprawl of THAT overloaded += operator would put my homegrown garbage collector's to shame.
Not to be cynical or redundant but they're really, really going to have to implement some kind of user rating system or spam control on the server, because I'm not going to log on to their network just to get a lot of w33n0rp0rn.
I have the only w33n0r I think I need to see when logging on.
Why this is to expensive for the best, richest, smartest, thoughest country on the face of the Eartjh, is a mystery

People being brought back to life? You mean Jesus? But he must be dead now surely bringing the average back up. And who gets sent to Heaven instead of dying? Don't they call it an afterlife for a reason?
You are the one who is a religious fundamentalist, if you have so much faith that science should be funded. Where do YOU draw the line? Can we engineer monkeys to contain a gene to knife each other and serve themselves with banana sauce? Well, maybe in a few years.

I know what you mean, but is that really sexual presumptiveness? More like too much TV makes you a zombie.

You're going to need to make $3 million per hour in five years, with a little extra left over for a desk made out of titanium girders, d00d.
Considering the way the dollar has been going lately, you just might, though.
So tell me, how long would it take to equal the bandwidth of the Library of Congress?

Congratulations Java, you've finally proven yourself as the new Benchmark(TM). Enjoy a lifetime of groundless belittlement.
By the way, if moreover isn't on this list, it sure ought to be. Over.
The name?
No, a bird hit my windshield. When that happened, I got depressed.

Allow me to improve your sentence.
Anyone who even considers the idea that it crashes regularly or that more than 1% of units are overheating is engaging in unapproved thought.

As long as human mortality maintains its steady 100% average your statement is fact.
