Make inroads in local government, establish something vaguely resembling a platform people understand, do the same get-your-nails-dirty bullshit every other successful political party has had to, or shut the fuck up and go back to beating off to Larry Niven and Ayn Rand novels in your mother's basement.
The only thing worse than the two bastardizations of the named political parties in the US are the citizens just barely bright enough to recognize this situation, but too fucking apathetic to choose a side and reform it from within.
Oh, I'm sorry, that would take WORK and SACRIFICE, which is to faux-Libertarians what SOAP is to hippies. No, better you go do another "Little Professor" rant here or your blog no one reads to make yourself feel better about your total fucking uselessness. I stumped hard for not one but two candidates in the last election. They both lost, but we and they built momentum for 2006. If we lose again, at least I know I did something.
Didn't like Clinton? It wasn't the Democrats who put him there, it was one in five voting Americans who voted for Perot rather than reelect GWHB. Didn't like Bush II? It wasn't a Republican groundswell, it was assholes who thought they'd show *everyone* by voting for Nader.
Get your goddamn hands dirty with the rest of us and preen about your moral/political purity later.
Between this, furries, nerds who write passionate webcomics about nerds who still collect Transformers, it's an argument for sterilizing an entire generation.
This is like what, the third time you've posted market share as spurious proof of installed user base here? From an article actually using those statistics to point a resurgence in sales?
Could I then say that Windows-only body dynamics plugin whose market share is a miniscule fraction of the installed cross-platform Poser/DAZstudio user base is also, therefore, "not going anywhere"?
I'm serious. Taco, you want us to invest in Slashdot's next-gen CSS look and feel but every time someone submits a Dvorak/Cringely Apple troll it can't get greenlighted fast enough?
We can't polish a turd, guys. If this site's supposed to be Fark Technica, just say so.
"Late Wednesday evening, Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer was found buried up to his honey-glazed, fire-ant covered head, apparently the result of a misunderstanding over his outspoken reaction to the news."
I think he meant "it's hard to resist [the siren song of] John Dvorak trolling people like us," not "it's hard to resist trolling John Dvorak's columns."

Unbelievable. A Slashdotter finally embarrassed to put their name to a Futurama quote.
Now I know how the Monolith must have felt when it saw the monkeys use bones as tools for the first time.
Publius.
We've become the government we kicked out two centuries ago, except they didn't pretend to be otherwise.

C'mon, this is Slashdot. To most of us, "Work" is still a buzzword.

I have an insulin pump. Bite my shiny metal pancreas.
It'll magically shit out something, that's for sure.
"Playtesting with Tomb Raider and BloodRayne did yield a larger percentage of goo-covered monitors."
If so, sign me and Fred Savage up!
You misspelled "Jew conspiracy."

You know, a slowed down version of the sound of what happens after George Lucas unzips his fly.
Sorry, that was me. Triple bean burrito at Taco Bell.
Cut them some slack. It takes a lot of R&D to make a lapboard truly cheeto-proof.
Sad old women with pretense to British aristocracy.
This doesn't compensate for your tiny, tiny penis.
I believe you have golfing and fucking mixed up again.
I'm sorry, we had to give them all to starving Biafran children.
