You watch too much TV. Us "Westerners" are tougher than leather. But you won't ever get to find out, cause we're also smart. What can you do about us? We're living it up, life is a party and there's nothing you can do to bring us down. hahaha
"If parents don't want their kids to watch stuff like this, they should stop their kids from watching stuff like this, not call the TV station to take it off the air. They're "parents". That's a title that entails some amount of responsibility."
No no no, not in a liberal government society... You don't need personal responsibility, that is the job of the government and corporations... duh!
No shit? Thank god for Slashdot and leon.gandalf. Otherwise I might spend the rest of my life thinking you should say 'they job is to collect....'
Piss off. EVERYONE knows what the correct fucking grammar/spelling is!!! Go back to teaching your 2nd graders, we already know the fucking rules!! But we are better, because we can actually adapt to MINOR errors, still grasp the meaning and continue with our lives.
You use Apple because it has the best style don't you? Also, you only talk to people who are members of MENSA, your shit smells like roses, and, oh yeah, you're a douche bag.
ALERT!! ALERT!!!: This post has been re-named. "LINUX Fanboys jerk themselves to death over wet dream of Microsoft pulling their business out of the EU." Continent-wide worker sick-leave was at an all time high Wednesday, as sweaty-IT-nerds lay in bed writing new blog entries based on their fantasies of a Total linux takeover of the marketplace.
The earth goes through cycles of warming and cooling every few thousand years, quit thinking just because you live on the earth at this time that you are special.
Exactly. It's not a mac box, which is a mac box that always has x motherboard, and if you don't like it or it has problems, you get another x motherboard. With a windows or linux box, YOU choose the motherboard you want, you know, from the company that has been good to you in the past, be it x,y,z,m,s,i...
While the AC put it so un-eloquently (sorry to all you grammar nazi fucks if that isn't a word, but you know what i mean don't you?), it had a good point. Any jokes like this or smack talk about Linux or Apple, are modded troll, flaimbait, while jokes against MS are funny. Why don't you just stop lying to yourselves and create a mod named: (Score: +1, So true. MS is just not as stylish and geeky enough for this site, while at the same time holding too much of the market share to be considered counter-culture, so if we act like we like it, it totally undercuts our vision of ourselves being geek-chic). Yeah, I know, (-1: Troll). Thank-you, may I have another. BTW, don't even think about modding me up to make yourselves look good either!;)
The sky is not your property, but is public. Anyone can hang glide over your place, utility workers could be up in the air that high, hot air balloon, etc. If you don't want anyone seeing in from the air (which is public) you could put up a dome I guess.
The next MS dissing thread has started over there.... that's it, just kind of merge right into that pen right... there. Yeah. Now continue bleating out your little snipets that will assure you, yes, apple is still better. You are nice and cozy in your profound knowledge. Move right along.
How could the 7600 GT beat the 7900 GTX? This makes absolutely no sense. '100 best products of the Year'? I don't have either of these cards (mine is 6800gt) but I was under the impression that the 7900gtx was at this point nvidias flagship, am I wrong?
BTW, the discussion for the new layout is in the lady's room boys.
You are exactly right. The only way a democracy will work is if ALL the people participate. Me writing my rep will alone do nothing. But if I started an orginization in my state to get thousands of people to contact our rep, and someone did that in every state then it would affect outcomes. Why? You said it yourself, the politicians want to stay in power. Their power comes from the people.
but it's hard when demonstrators are labelled terrorists and treated like animals (note that free speach in the US is ok, as long as it is the "right" speach, remember the celebrities demonstrating the gulf war?)
labeled terrorists and treated like animals? source please. What about the celebrities who demonstrated the war? Last I heard they said what they wanted and they are still alive right? So what is your point?
Yeah that's pretty funny (seriously), but when the next bomb (whoever sets it, since i don't want to use 'terrorist' on slashdot) blows in the U.S., if I hear one person cry that "the government didn't do enough to stop this", I think I might become a homicidal maniac.
I had a few, but a much better series was 'The Time Machine' series, including one of my favorites: Sword of The Samurai. They had a bit more depth and historical perspective. But for a good CYOA book I'll take Secret of the Ninja!
It would be great if our government reps read slashdot and could see how unhappy many of us are about certain issues. The fact is, most of them probably do not. We need to actually contact our rep's, (which we can by phone or email) in the U.S. Also we would probably need to get multiple people organized and 'of one voice' to get our rep's to really pay attention to us. Yes, it takes some work, but it can be done. It happened with womens rights, civil rights, and probably some other examples that we can all think of.
When the US govt and/or the **AA's are leaning on other countries with enough pressure to influence the way they enforce justice to the point that they *break their own laws*, I think the citizens of those countries have a right to bitch about that.
I never said they don't have the right. I think I stated clearly that it just doesn't do much good (on here). If I was in that position, I would be greatly disappointed that my country gave in to such pressure, and I would want to have words with my fellow citizens and representatives (if I lived in a country with such civil rights as to have government representation) and try and get things changed.
Sure, telling the world what you think about the evil U.S. is within your rights (at least it is in the U.S.!), but it doesn't help much except making you feel better about yourself.
Also, please remind me how foreigners can influence US policy ?
I guess most courntries have foreign relations with the U.S. right? You can talk to your government about their policies and the way they deal with the U.S. govt.

"And it seems USA is now in the process of financing more Bin Ladins into this world:
"US funds terror groups to sow chaos in Iran":"
Good. Fight fire with fire. Although, it may mean burning most of the world. A nice cleansing is needed anyway.
So, as we can see, they now let 2nd graders mod slashdot posts.
Piss off. EVERYONE knows what the correct fucking grammar/spelling is!!! Go back to teaching your 2nd graders, we already know the fucking rules!! But we are better, because we can actually adapt to MINOR errors, still grasp the meaning and continue with our lives.

Jealousy is a smelly cologne.

And your accusatoins don't change anything either. So it looks like There are exceptions.

It is not considered a 'search' if it is in 'plain/public view'.

Thanks for the background info!
I had that figured out. But then the list should be called The 100 best values in tech products, not "The 100 BEST tech products"
Please tell me your sig is some kind of joke that I am just too lame to get.
