Via slashdot!/twitter/facebook/??? just let it be passed around that ANY business that supports it -->>doesn't support rejecting it will find their customers going to the competition...
...and ANY politician that votes for it will not get votes.
then the list needs to be passed around (via slashdot!/twitter/facebook/??? of the companies and polititians that support (passively or aggressively) the stupidity.
politicians DO care about votes, and business DOES care about money.
maybe the train CAN be stopped. ???
The one i love is where the reporter shows up at school where a few kids were shot and killed and the reporter asks the friends "And how are you feeling right now?"
stupidest question ever. What response are they expecting?
"Why, we are sad, because they got out of taking the test and we didn't. Boo hoo for us, but we are happy for the dead kids!"
So, you live on a cattle farm with a deep well, and a little guy to milk the cows and a big guy to haul the little guys' ass around.
A small coliseum would be a bull-fight ring?
I carry my trusty transmogrifier gun with me. That way, should I happen to accidentally get carried several miles into the air by a balloon I'm still safe!
It was an 'okay' book series, not one i'd probably read twice though.
A 'great' book is 'A Canticle for Leibowitz', not hunger games.
Not sure where hunger games is even sci-fi.........
I can think of *so* many ways to leverage this kind of thinking:
i) shoes that detect when they're being put on, automatically debiting your chequing acct. for each use, and for each step taken in them.
ii) Shirts that detect when they're being buttoned up. Ditto for zippers. Add modifiers for when used long sleeved, or rolled up.
iii) sunglasses that charge per solar day.
iv) clothing that detects seasons and charges by the year.
v) & etc.
I'm glad I'm not going to live long enough to see that world. The rest of you are welcome to it.
Charge even more for shirts coming off... ditto for bras, ditto for underpants. Microsoft could kill sex with one patent! (Guess that's because they are micro and soft?):-)
Yes, this is the new slashdot... taken over by a bunch of assholes who mod down everybody who posts non-AC. Really turning to trash when 90% of the posts are AC.
Really sad... that's why i'm on here less and less. Seems like people in charge need to get rid of the AC ability.
And yes, now a bunch of silly little eight year olds will AC some dick-licker comments and mod me down further but that's okay: at least some people are mature enough to comment without coming out like their idiots.
High regards to the likes of djlowe and the other non-AC's who have class.
And these are the same people who want to pass a bill allowing warrantless internet information...
they wonder why there has been such a fight against them.
Power corrupts... the attempts to gain more power corrupt absolutely.
I'll take that bet and say that in 3-5 years you'll be wishing that Canonical was selling shares.
Canonical has made some mistakes yes, but which company hasn't (see Msft, apple, google, RIM!!!): I wish i owned some shares... then maybe i'd be able to afford to buy the smartphone/laptop/tablet and smart tv that ubuntu will be linking.
Oh, being poor sucks.:-(

Okay, okay...

There. Sheesh!
I'd rather that Leela raped me, though.

We need to mount a pre-emptive strike on Ottowa and the sooner the better.

Sorry, no... i call classy the people who post logged, instead of the eight year olds who post idiot stuff AC.
The AC's are killing off slashdot.
And yes, i know... wrong their. Whatever.

I'd like to know how to figure out if they're real or fake.
Give 'em a real good feel... yeah, baby, that's the spot. I AM (a real) CANADIAN!
