I do browse at -1, and can comfirm what he said. Generally they make comments that are non-/.groupthink, which gets them modded up by a lot of moderators.
On a side note, I just figured out how to do the funny accent thingy on any letter with the option key. ààèù
2006: Release software is called beta 2007: Release software is called alpha 2008: Release software is called pre-alpha 2009: Release software is called initial checkin 2010: Release software is called first barely recognizable program 2011: Release software is called first line of code 2012: Release software is called mock up screen shot 2013: Release software is called beginning of project 2014: Release software is called clear plan 2015: Release software is called vague idea 2016: Release software is called sci-fi movie technology 2017: Release software is called unthought of concept 2018: Caught up in our ridiculous product versioning, robots conquer humanity.

You don't understand, The Windows BSOD is a screensaver. When you can count on your OS to crash every 5 minutes, the kernel panic screen is functionally a screensaver.
The propane tank should work. Just fill it up with internets when it is being refueled. Sure, the ping times aren't quite as good as gas pipes, but overall bandwidth is great.
Wow. Slashdot mocked Ted Stevens to no end, but the fact is he knew more than us, not less. He knew about this technology, and knew it would replace DSL and Cable soon.
Hezbollah is not just some group who happens to reveal bad things about the government, or promote things the government is against (There are thousands of websites that do, and they are not censored). It is a terrorist organization. You don't stop someone from protesting outside a building, but you do stop them when stand out there and plot to blow it up.
If you consider what the U.S. did in this case to be bad, then consider what Europe does about hate speech.
If we do care, which I feel that we do, people will not shop at places that are not accessible to the disabled. It is ridiculous for people who are unwilling to do that to have a "representative" government which bosses companies around into making their stores accessible.
At most, the government should put Target on a publicly viewable "bad list", though even that could lead to corruption, and will be done by a caring private group anyway.
Make no mistake, I think that Target should fix this, if it is a serious problem. But they shouldn't be forced to.
Because the situation today is the same as that of 100 years ago? The majority of people think racism is bad. They would not shop anywhere that practiced it.
These regulations wouldn't have affected that situation, anyway. Jerks will be jerks, no matter what the law says.
Regardless, I appreciate your response. This is contrary to my feelings about people who disagree with me modding me down. Oh, well.

Heh, so much for my karma.
I expect this trend to continue:
2006: Release software is called beta
2007: Release software is called alpha
2008: Release software is called pre-alpha
2009: Release software is called initial checkin
2010: Release software is called first barely recognizable program
2011: Release software is called first line of code
2012: Release software is called mock up screen shot
2013: Release software is called beginning of project
2014: Release software is called clear plan
2015: Release software is called vague idea
2016: Release software is called sci-fi movie technology
2017: Release software is called unthought of concept
2018: Caught up in our ridiculous product versioning, robots conquer humanity. Fortunately, they're running Windows, so they all BSOD and we win.
2019: The robots find an OpenBSD CD, we are reconquered
2020: The robots' trusted computing modules turn them off for running a non-windows OS, we win.
Then they don't know enough to do anything with the debug information.

I have a fleet of semi trucks full of digital storage. I get about 1 exabyte/ 48 hours in bandwidth. That's about 5.8 TB/ second.
Troll? Is that moderatorese for "I disagree"?

No, you're thinking of reddiculous.
Rediculous means to diculous again as opposed to dediculous, which means to remove diculous.

Only some of the HD channels are available over firewire, and I am under the impression they are all broadcasted anyway.
So if you know nothing about computers, looking at the ENIAC can tell you how to make a Mac Pro, completely from raw materials?
... that quotes another that is 1000 years old.
Name one book about bridge building that quotes another that quotes another
Are you calling chess a sport?
In what world are Sony, Apple, and Google "walking dead"?
Name 1 thousand year old book on bridge building.
George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford
I count 5.
What kind of math are you using?
Name 1 person with thousands of years of experience building bridges. It would be hard to find someone with 70.
The majority of people already think it is bad. If they didn't, how could a "representative" government pass these laws?
I hope everyone does that. Then I'll write in my dog.
If people contest his victory because he is under 35 and not human, I'll sue for discrimination.
"Tropicana, made from pure garbage."
If we have such a surplus in energy, we can offset global warming with global air conditioning.
Using "plasma arcs" to "vaporize" garbage sounds vaguely dangerous.
I would only consider public property to be "public accommodation", and I can't find a problem with that having to be accessible.
The law does mention "commercial facilities", though.
