The deciding measure, though, is whether they wank to same-sex or opposite-sex porn. Or both. Or human-animal porn. That's all sexual preference, ya know.
You entered the conversation of this thread with the above assertion as your main point. Thus, it's a waste of time to read any of your other comments.
You're an anti-Ham troll. I suspect you're proud of that.
So because there aren't hardass 'enforcers' involved it is incorrect for 2013? Sounds like you'd be in favor of doing away with sandlot baseball games and anything those foolish kids might do near your lawn, too.
When I was a kid my dad had a big console stereo in the living room. I believe it's brand was Columbia. It was huge and long, about the size of a sofa.
Back then, Walt Disney had a television show on Sunday nights that everybody watched. He'd personally introduce an interesting short film that we'd all watch.
It's a shame what corporate interests have done to his name.
Some of us consider it our mission in life (well, not our only mission, and not even that important a mission, but anyhow) to salt Facebook with as many made up false identities as possible.
It's important to pollute the idea that the Zuck and his buddies have, that the Facebook database is a place filled with valuable minerals for data mining.
It's kind of a shame that everybody in the world doesn't have three or four Facebook accounts. Not because it would mean "they don't have a life." For goodness sakes, they would have three or four lives, the way Facebook defines things.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
But is also not necessarily my enemy. It's more complicated than that. To start with, neither the US nor the Russian government are my avowed enemies.
I agree that there is a popular consensus that Freedom appears to be less prevalent in Russia. The impartial eyewitnesses that I have had contact with have made it clear that the Soviet legacy was bad. But I have never been there to see in person.
What I said was I voted for Clinton twice, then voted for Bush twice, and have finally gotten a fucking clue. Sorta. I hope.
Obama has big boy pants. Very few of his actions in office can be blamed on Bush. The number of things he could have done, particularly during the first two years when the DNC controlled the White House, and both houses of Congress (instead he chose to spend ALL his political capital on ramming through 'Healthcare Reform') is staggering.
On mobile, I use the Firefox for Android browser. A big reason I use this, and never, ever, access Google Services with it is to make at least a little effort to remain outside the bounds of the Googleplex on Android.
You're pretty much 'signed all the way in' the Googleplex when you run Android, though I suppose you could use an alternate made-up Gmail account to establish your account with the Play Store.
Please, does anybody else have comments or knowledge to add on the matter of Firefox on Android? Are there layers of Android the Firefox browser has to connect through to get to the Net that Google and/or other agencies could be tapping into? I suspect there are, but my question is: does using Firefox make any difference at all? I don't run Chrome or the 'native' Browser on Android except to connect to Google Services. I never log into Youtube from Firefox (yes, I have the Flash plugin installed.)
'Timely news posts' at the top of the page are not that important on Slashdot.
I found out about the September 11 terrorist attacks from a user comment that morning on Slashdot. Somebody just posted it had happened off-topic (I am not sure if it was then modded that way or not, lots of people were pretty busy with other concerns that morning,) and it was time to check CNN and some of the 'other' sites on the Internet.
I could see this backfiring for the entities that are trying to play us with it.
'Conservatives' (capital-C, sadly, but that's how it works) have a pretty well-organized network. They should actively oppose and boycott businesses that choose to work with Analytics Media Group. Everybody already says 'fuck Google. fuck Big Data' in private to all their friends. It's just a matter of helping people figure out what's going on and making it a public thing.
Governor Romney deluded himself that his supposedly private fundraising speech would never be revealed to the rest of the world.
Also, an overwhelming percentage of Big Media (meaning not just 'media bosses' but the rank-and-file reporters, etc.) were out and out Obama supporters. So any gaffe that Romney committed was instantly in play and out there. Whereas there are huge holes in the public's understanding of Obama and his private life and past yet today. There are even polished and well-recognized slur-names to refer to those who point this fact out.
They're cramming all the metadata into permanent vaults. What politicians, future police agencies, etc. do with it a few years from now may be another matter.
They don't have to come for you today. They don't have to come for you next year. Aren't you the least bit worried about who might posess the metadata fifteen years from now?
It simply shouldn't exist. It shouldn't be stored. FORMAT C:, dudes.
But because of the favor that Snowden has done for us all, they've got shit smeared all over themselves now. They cannot deny many of the things they have done.
It pisses off the politicians in Washington to no end. They knew what the NSA was doing so now they are spattered with the shit as well. And people outside the US know more, openly, than they did before.
I can understand why it pisses so many people off in Washington. They were pretending so hard to be the good guys.
One of the bigger and more corrupt owners of factories in China is the People's Liberation Army. Look it up if you don't believe it. The PLA is a massive industrial conglomerate.
Many American companies have pulled their tooling, production equipment, etc. out of China. It's all shipped to Mexico, of course, but it's not in China any longer.

Simply making your assertion with one sentence doesn't work.
The deciding measure, though, is whether they wank to same-sex or opposite-sex porn. Or both. Or human-animal porn. That's all sexual preference, ya know.

Who cares? Have a nice day.

'Sufficiently distributed' wind power can also eliminate all those pesky birds.
It doesn't scale well in a world with other species we need to coexist with.

Where did I say who I voted for in 2012?
What I said was I voted for Clinton twice, then voted for Bush twice, and have finally gotten a fucking clue. Sorta. I hope.

Slashdot is a pretty dynamic blog for regulars.

Don't go saying he's a 'patriot.' That's one of those keywords and you'll get him audited.
He wasn't quoting Obama or Bush.
Now, admit it, you consider one or the other of those fuckers less of a hypocrite than the other.
Stoopid.
Not targeting ordinary Americans.
They're cramming all the metadata into permanent vaults. What politicians, future police agencies, etc. do with it a few years from now may be another matter.

How ignorant of you.
You have a cartoonish perspective of the world.
You voted for Obama because you believed the total shit that his people threw up against the wall about the people who were running against Obama.
I'd be pretty fucking embarrassed if I were you.
I voted twice for Clinton, Twice for Bush, but by god, I never voted for Obama. I think of myself as having slowly gotten a fucking clue.
Let us know when/if you ever do.
The aesthetic distance has been blown, though. They look pretty ridiculous up on that stage, now.
Next thing you know, they're going to tell us Doctor Strangelove was a documentary.
Yes, the agencies fight against the terra-ists.
But because of the favor that Snowden has done for us all, they've got shit smeared all over themselves now. They cannot deny many of the things they have done.

Wow. I thought like that when I was a Freshman, too.
Don't spend so much time in the Student Union. You'll flunk out.
Killed for producing carbon dioxide? Didn't you learn in grammar school that plants thrive on carbon dioxide?
One of the bigger and more corrupt owners of factories in China is the People's Liberation Army. Look it up if you don't believe it. The PLA is a massive industrial conglomerate.
They aren't gonna be executed.
Many American companies have pulled their tooling, production equipment, etc. out of China. It's all shipped to Mexico, of course, but it's not in China any longer.
Also sometimes called 'class struggle.'
Or a Great Leap Forward.
Or a Hundred Flowers Cut.
