Overall I'd much rather be driving next to someone who cuts you off on purpose than one who didn't even realize they were doing it
Not me, a BMW won't do as much damage as a Lexus. But my observation is the twentysomethings who have one of those giant four seater pickup trucks with what looks like thirty inch wheels are the worst. They drive stupid AND are assholes. But I guess being born into money might give one a sense of entitlement, which probably explains the BMW and Ford assholes. They really do think they're better than you.

Ghandi once famously said "I like Jesus but I don't care much for Christians". The thing is, it isn't the religion that's violent, its the people running it.
However, I'd say Hinduism, Bhuddism, and Christianity are the true religions of peace, even though I've had Bhuddists point pistols at me and there are so-called "Christians" who shoot abortion doctors. Nothing in Bhuddism of Christianity condones these actions, in fact it's the opposite.
You could look at Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry and conclude that Christianity is a religion of murder*, adultery, and divorce. These men don't follow Christ's teachings, and I would guess the same could be said for Muslim terrorists.
* Texas executes more men than any other state. Governors can stop executions.
honestly if reading an uncapitalized and unpunctuated sentence causes you physical or mental pain then i think for your own welfare you should get off the internet and stick to print media
It dosn't case pain, it's just hard to read. It's discourteous to the reader and shows that you don't really care if it's read or not. Despite your level of education you're still coming across as uneducated.
The other response to your comment was insightful and was pretty much as I would have responded. Art always breaks the rules, but the artist has to know the rules and have a damned good artistic reason to break them.

Odd, I've never met any of them. However unlikely it may be, they actually could be right. What's nutty is assuming without any proof whatever that there is life elsewhere. There probably is, but just saying "it has to be" is stupid.
I can tell. The lens and F stop have nothing to do with speed, the shutter does. Of course with fast shutter speed you need fast film (is there still any around?) and a larger aperture (F-stop).
I've never usderstood what the fuss was about. If two people want to call themselves "married" it's none of my business. Now, when are they going to outlaw discrimination against single people? A couple has lower living expenses per person than I do, why do they get tax and insurance breaks?
You can buy a bluetooth dongle about the size of a dime at WalMart for $20 and it will work with any OS. With kubuntu you don't even have to install any software for it to work. Not all desktops have wifi, and a router is a little more expensive.
This "the PC is dead" meme is stupid. The home PC may mostly go away and be replaced by tablets and phones and TVs, but they're not leaving offices any time soon.

A locksmith can get past a physical key in three seconds. Maybe not the new ones with electronics in the keys, though, but I wouldn't doubt it.
The dictionary backs you up.

Capitalisation is very arbitrary
Not really. The first letter of a sentence, the first letter of a proper name, and acronyms get capitalized. Pretty simple, really.
So, you want all of Asimov's books to disappear because he's dead?
To answer the question, acid-free paper last longer than any electronic media. If you're talking about sound or video, tape is probably your best bet.
LEO's need to be held to a higher standard.
This is slashdot. When I see "LEO" I think "low Earth orbit." Why not just say "cops" and be clear to those of us who are actually nerds?

Your (and a whole lot of others') refusal to use the shift key hurts mine. Do you realise how uneducated it makes you look?
Personally, I'd like to see some experiments attempting to create an arsenic-based politician
God no, politicians are already toxic.
I haven't done film photography in twenty years
I can tell. The lens and F stop have nothing to do with speed, the shutter does. Of course with fast shutter speed you need fast film (is there still any around?) and a larger aperture (F-stop).
The lens has nothing to do with a camera's speed.
