You're probably trolling but anyone that thinks National Socialism had any actual legitimacy and wasn't just a bullshit platform used to put fascist leaders in power so that they could do whatever they wanted including commit genocide, are fucking morons. The Nazi Party was created by Hitler and once he gained power, he was just another dictator. Anyone holding on to the views of "National Socialism" and claim that its not related to racism and anti-semitism are edgy fucking morons who pop chubbies thinking of ways to prove their cutting edge individuality or extremely insincere idiots.
Yeah it's too bad for Dresden, where, you know, munitions were being manufactured and all. It's not like the Germans made it a point to bomb civilian London nightly or anything.
Ooh what's this? An edgy as fuck poster on Slashdot talking about the world from his armchair when he most likely couldn't even describe the social interactions between his peers accurately? Tell me, how do you feel about white women getting kidnapped.
Let me just break it down for you, despite it being a complete waste of my time. First of all, just because some retard on Slashdot happened to end up with mod points, you're comment is extremely far from insightful. Remember, if you were to hold a discussion with anyone in the real world, they would not consider your attitude insightful at all, but sophomoric and dismissible.
First of all, Iran does not have the right to oppress their citizens. It is not a regime's right to take away human rights. There is moral backing to this, but seeing as how you seem too edgy to accept that morals actually have legitimate bearing and aren't just "lol arbitrary skydaddy rules", I will also point out how a lot of the world has united through treaties and international law about the treatment of human beings. Sovereign nation or not, these rules are accepted as juste as is the idea of human rights and thus it is the responsibility of nations in which human rights are protected to make sure that there aren't nations in which the basic rights of man are taken away.
Second of all, Iranians do not like their government. We are not taking away the "right" for the citizens to be oppressed, but reinstating their right to not be oppressed by wishing to take away the power of those few on the top who are currently oppressing them.
The issue is not the United States shoving it's ideals down another country's throat. The issue is another country not working within the bounds that the closest thing we have to a world government has laid down. Oppression is not an opinion, it is not a right, it is a not a decision a sovereign nation can make. It is not open minded to accept close minded views, it is detrimental to society.
Realistically speaking, we cannot just declare war on every country we disagree with, however.
One could argue that countries such as Pakistan and Iran are much more oppressive and the dictatorial regimes and radical Islamic beliefs are detrimental to their own internal progress and threatening in many ways to the progress and safety of the world. One could argue that caning women for drinking beer (as they do in Malaysia) or stoning women for getting raped (as they do in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region).
One could argue that being close minded to such an ass-backwards religion and set of beliefs is not un-PC but simply open minded in the sense that it refuses to acknowledge the beliefs of people that are close minded in the worst way possible.
One could argue that not even Iran's citizens like Iran and that the leader of Iran is psychotic. One could argue that acting as though Iran and it's leader are perfectly acceptable is an exercise in edginess and that if even the most minor of civil rights violations experienced by the average citizen of Iran was inflicted upon a United States citizen the very same people would be screeching as loud as possible for the ACLU to hang everyone involved.
OMG just shut the fuck up PLEASE. No one cares about iPhones not being up to snuff in Slashdot's eyes. It's a fucking consumer product, a phone, something normal people buy because they want a new gadget to play with and fancy themselves a "power user" of computers and electronics or a member of the 13-30 demographic who needs to get the top of the line phone to go with their style.
Apple exists. The iPhone exists. So do other phones. And other smart phones. WHAT are you trying to argue? WHY does this have any relevance? What exactly is it about the iPhone that gets you so pissed off? iPhones are relevant and they exist and people like them. You aren't one of those people. Why are you so threatened by their existence?
I bet you post in every Apple/iPhone thread with a similar comment about them, trying to be snarky. What you don't understand is that Apple is a company that creates products. The products stay in existence, not to spite you, not to try and grab a monopoly on approved applications for the platform, not to ruin our lives, but because consumers show enough interest that the device is popular and profitable. Apple locks down their phone because that's how they do business. I know the libertarian in every nerdy Slashdotter can appreciate that. But for some reason that political viewpoint got completely fucked out of whack with FOSS viewpoints and the idea that everything should be free. Only on internet forums filled with bitter cynical nerds would you hear Ron Paul and FOSS on the same breath. Libertarianism != Socialism and the two views can't be held in parallel.
I know that at this point I'm extrapolating and have no idea whether the fuck I'm even describing you anymore but I'm just sick of listening to people drone on about the iPhone like they do every single popular consumer product ever. Put your dick back in your pants and chill the fuck out.

lets invest heavily in cybernetic research and brain-computer interfacing and install linux into the brains of women. it can be called fembuntu distro, airy alphafemale. there will be no question now as to what women are thinking or how they think but there will also be no accountability or tech support. until the bugs are ironed out, kernel panic will cause women to suddenly fixate angrily on one little thing. interacting with women will be confusing for everyone except the nerdiest of the population (how the tides have changed!) and most things won't be supported out of the box. One will have to apt-get sex and then all of the dependencies will be outdated. Even then, the developers have made the binary clunky and slow and prone to crashes. However, since it's open source you can finally find the gspot. The devs promise that by 2015, the application will be up to par with the current iteration of commercial competition. Google is rumored to step in but you'll have to deal with the fact they are getting your DNA samples to sell to advertisers.
Or maybe we could just make a beowulf cluster of mice and snakes
Actually I think that the grandparent post was a joke LOL. I hope that you have a good day:) (The machine did not click preview and submit for him, that would be very strange!!)
how can you honestly think that any phone company or manufacturer or service provider would think to themselves "hmm we need to sell more phones with this platform, lets open up root and advertise full control and opensource and linux because the general populace will eat that up unlike close sourced, easy to use, locked down phones with pretty features that the user doesnt have to worry about".
This isn't about pleasing Slashdot or nerds with strange entitlement issues it's about selling a device for profit to a community (the general public) that cares about coolness, usability and enjoyment and not whether or not they can run some homebrew application they whipped up in java that requires root access and the ability to seamlessly switch carriers.
you think mac fanbois submit this crap? its people like you who eat up "APPLE DOES SOMETHING WRONG AGAIN" stories
apple is the microsoft of this decade as nerds constantly berate it for no reason except that "open source linux steve jobs is evil"
sounds like "open source linux bill gates is evil" to me. and, hey its equally stupid, if not more so, because microsoft was at least berated for making products that barely worked!
Slashdot collectively loves to hate Apple, sometimes even more than Microsoft, but this is Slashdot. Apple is doing just fine and your discontent does not equate to them doing badly. The iPhone, the iPod and the reinvention of themselves and their personal computers have brought them a long way and they are doing just fine. Talking about Apple losing the PC market makes me feel like I stepped off a time machine and hit 1996 as PC World raves about Microsoft Office on Windows 95 and Tupac still raps about pagers blowing up.
I must say that having developed for Android and iPhone, iPhone was much more enjoyable of an experience. I think Android has a good platform, but its not all there yet. I like the feel of my iPhone apps much more, whereas like most non-Apple GUIs and window systems, Android feels clunky and non-standard.
Android, however, hosted my app immediately whereas Apple takes weeks and weeks of unknown approval status to either a) give you some bullshit reason your app isn't accepted, so fix it and start the process over or b) allow your app in the store and then watch as everyone says "great but *bug*" and quickly scramble to fix the bug and then wait yet again for Apple to approve your new bugfix version.
Everyone on Slashdot who has a hardon to prove how big their not-having-a-facebook-penis is and finally needs to get one for some normal reason has to use this tool though! Then when some girl inquires about it they can be all like "I like keeping my information private so I'm encrypting my Facebook isn't it cool? Here's my public key and some documentation on how to use the decryption software, along with some light reading on the encryption methods you might find interesting by the way I'm sure you'll be happy to find that when you are done decoding my info page, i am in fact single and interested in women:smug:"
Calling people is dangerous because a) the CIA b) wire tap and c) ECHELON
geez people dont you understand that no form of communication is safe because the method of communication has too many weaknesses (regardless of method) and you can't even trust the person you are trying to communicate to begin with? even if you manage to get a clean connection through the phone systems to your friend (IMPOSSIBLE) hes probably going to sell you out to advertisers anyway.
"A false sense of intelligence is far more dangerous than a real sense of what actually fucking matters and know anything you put on facebook if you are smart does not matter so stop using far removed, inapplicable, ivory tower-IT department quotes to get your point across about how a social networking site is going to lead to your downfall"
WTF this pussy tells everyone about his teetotaler path and how he got fucked up by anesthesia and people are responding with erowid c+ps as if somehow this is a legitimate topic or derail? some bitch couldnt handle knockout drugs at the dentist and suddenly every goon is an expert on hallucinogens trying to explain how next trip, this guy can enjoy his fucking knockout drug more. these posts remind me of nerdy 16 year olds in high school who discovered drugs and combine their two new favorite hobbies.. getting high and being an asperbergerific encylopedia of useless drug knowledge that most people dont actually give a fuck about
His view of reality is already somewhat distorted because he thinks that we give a shit about his unremarkable life choices regarding his self-serving description of "drugs"

Generally people who read Slashdot are capable of installing operating systems, maybe you are in the wrong place?
