publicly presented with malicious intent to publicly discredit them
It seems like that could describe every terrible review of a business establishment, given that ill-treatment tends to make people vengeful (just as good treatment tends to make them grateful). Would it be preferable to allow people to claim they were treated badly only if they admit to being fully satisfied with this bad treatment?
the latency on this thing is terrible. I just tested it out with a quick drive through the local playground, and it took half an hour to update the map.
sell the whole country to her american friends if it gave her a benefit (a friendly hug would probably suffice)
you remember GWB's famous backrub? that was for the dental records of all german citizens since the Kaiser. Tom, you really ought to have that sensitive molar of yours checked out.
It is akin to creating a CGI representation of an athlete or celebrity and using it in a TV commercial.
that doesn't seem like a particularly accurate comparison. one is likely to believe the CGI representation is the actual person, whereas no one playing Madden thinks he's actually controlling Tom Brady.
"Two judges on the panel found that EA’s depiction of Keller was not transformative."
Ok, next patch they will transform his stats to the worst player in the game.
this is a great opportunity to employ the small penis rule. slightly change the likenesses of the players from reality, and in the stats, just list their penis as 2-inches long.
Why is it that people are willing to expose large quantities of information to private parties but don't want the Government to have the same information?
Why is it people have sex every day, but when I jump out of the bushes wearing a condom, they cry foul?
It's the same reason why communes work only on a very small scale.
This is something people misunderstand about Stalin. He's often portrayed as a murderous megalomaniac, but in reality he was just trying to keep the population small enough for communism to function properly.
It's kind of like when you shoot deer out of a helicopter for the good of the ecosystem.
It's a pity this engine wasn't from Apollo 13. I bet Tom Hanks would have paid a pretty penny for an engine from the rocket he piloted, and then Bezos could have used the proceeds to retire a wealthy man, just like Cameron did when he salvaged the Titanic.
If you were walking down a street with him and found $10 on the sidewalk, Gates is the kind of person who would say, "Let me track down the rightful owner of this" and then pocket the money.
well, assuming this happened in the US, and speaking statistically, he's most likely to be the rightful owner
I thought they were saying a license to hunt animals using drones. THAT would be awesome!:P *pew pew* *deer falls down*
sounds like a lot of work for just deer. the whole point of using drones is so you can hunt pandas from your mom's basement in Poughkeepsie. Of course there could be some international repercussions once our nation's fine zoos run out of stock and we have to take the fight overseas.
After the army breaks you down, and makes you into a fighting machine, they are not going to just kick you to the curb after got all they could from you.
if you actually believe this, there's a little documentary I'd like you to watch. it's called Rambo: First Blood
my favorite part of google voice is leaving a message for someone who uses it, and they read the transcript as "human-sized mango octopus glovebox get scammed by the hamburglar one sousaphone excoriated in the afterlife," and then they listen to the message to find out what I actually said, and they find out that's actually what I said.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. The other night at a conference on advances in quantum physics, I was discussing what in my opinion are certain obvious inconsistencies in string theory with a colleague of mine whilst we sat at the bar in the basement of Adam & Adam, a notorious local establishment. Anyone who saw us book time in the Pit of Medieval Ecstasy, or watched us rub one another down with oil and then engage in hours of impassioned coitus before a crowd of cheering voyeurs, might have come to the conclusion that there was something going on beyond the spirited scientific debate in which we were simultaneously engaged. It occurred to me later that had either one of us been a woman, we would never have ended up in that situation.

Sure America has freedoms to do some stuff you can't else where (like own an assault rifle)
Assault rifles, being machine guns, are for all practical purposes outlawed by the National Firearms Act of 1934.

He hasn't taken it down. It is still online: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g155033-d183336-r158988363-L_hotel_Quebec-Quebec_City_Quebec.html Therefore the summary is demonstrably wrong.
he should sue slashdot for libel, demand $96K and make a profit

unless they involve prison. Am I politically correct yet?
you got modded funny, so no, not yet.
"At the least, it wouldn't be very clever."
or it would be very, very clever

all slashdot articles link to 404's. you're just the first person to actually click on one

I have books on my book shelves that are over 50 years old, and I can still read them fine. Can the same be said about eBooks 50 years from now?
I doubt it. Your eyesight will probably be considerably worse by then.

The idea of having your kids not be able to blow their brains out with your gun seems like quite a good one...
it does until they hit about age 14
this is why I constantly swerve from lane to lane, so those cameras can never get a proper focus
it's time for NASA to admit they locked the keys inside the thing, swallow their pride, and call AAA
so google gets an offer for SEO, and shortly thereafter google just happens to appear on slashdot?
I guess they opted for the budget package.
turn it into a pr0n focused device and rebrand it as "the nookie"
