One guy, with a bunch of assertions, managed to get enough members of Congress alarmed. The comic companies, instead of challenging the claims on their merits, and you know, defending themselves and their work in any way, pissed their collective pants, and asked only question: How far apart would you like us to spread our cheeks?
Sounds like Al Gore. I wonder what we'll find out when the LOC opens his records in a half century or so.
For all those people wanting their kids to excel and succeed beyond their parents, IT (real IT, not simply tech support) is a great avenue, and introduction early will foster aptitude in their adult life.
Actually, IT is a custodial task. It's important for kids to learn some about it, but if they want to be successful, they should and will come to understand that the data janitors will take care of it for them. It's very important that they understand IT however. Young people should work at menial jobs for awhile before they start their careers.
It's sort of unfortunate that you were so selective in what you quoted from the AC.
With that low UID, surely you understand what s/he was saying. 'Shut up' seems like kind of a nervous response.
Part of what you snipped:
There is no such thing as a paid MS shill. If there was, which there isn't, they certainly wouldn't care about Slashdot. Slashdot hasn't been a very relevant tech discussion forum for the last 8 years.
However, it's not exactly known for being a tech hub or a place of great intelligence either. If all these patent trials were held in Austin, I think things would be very different.
You're right. The only place in Texas with any reasonable concentration of Liberals is Austin.
Those dumb rednecks. (hope you get the sarcasm intended)
On the other hand, success in the scientific fields can be directly correlated with religiosity - those who do the best work and contribute the most to our understanding of the universe are FAR less likely to be religious than their more mediocre counterparts.
That's a rather ignorant assertion. The Scientific Method has nothing to do with a person's religious faith. But since you want to dabble in stereotypes, there may indeed be a coorelation between 'lost soul' spiritually hollow types who never make it off campus and adopt a permanent long-term career in 'science.'
Nobody's saying they're the best scientists, however. Many of them are placeholders.
It's frightening that there are two complete and separate 'truth tracks' now, and that partisan people can choose one 'echo chamber' or the other to live entirely within.
You can parrot out a rebuttal to anything anybody can throw at you, can't you? I bet you're proud of the fact.
You're an 'enlightened intellectual,' correct? And your track of thinking isn't a track at all. It's the complete truth. And while you would never claim to have it all figured out, you consider yourself way ahead of most others and 'if you were just in charge' things would be better.
Somebody needs to publish a good instructive leaflet showing where to drill on these trash containers to wipe out the electronics. It's probably one little spot somewhere, and a dude in each neighborhood with a cordless drill could rid the city of this bullshit in a few hours.
Now follow the sheet of office paper in a school: Cut down a forest....
Pulpwood for paper comes from modern farmed forestry operations. Trees are planted on land that would otherwise remain unplanted. It is a net positive to use a lot of paper, tree-wise.
When they dump it in a landfill, they're creating a huge pile of segregated plastic.
How much energy and labor are being wasted gathering and segregating, though? I envision that in the future landfills will be strip-mined for their resources, and that at that point the technology to separate it will exist.
Is the recycling tub itself made of recyclable material? Perhaps you should use a band saw to slice it up into pieces of a size that will fit in the trash container.
Just about anybody who isn't a violent scum lumpen-criminal who is convicted at the Federal level gets sent to a pretty nice prison. I know someone who is a tax evader, on a fairly high level, but he's just a regular guy in most respects, an 'up from the working class' sort who frames houses for a living. He's at a minimum security prison now. He's a regular churchgoer, active in his community, etc. He doesn't do drugs, and he isn't part of an inner-city underclass.
Slashdot Mirror
You're going off the deep end, in a rant in the opposite direction.
Nothing is accomplished by ranting off parodies of your opponent.
Well, I suppose it must be satisfying to you in some way...
Sounds like Al Gore. I wonder what we'll find out when the LOC opens his records in a half century or so.
Microsoft's marketing dept. says that's a feature, not a bug.

Total cost, including overhead, almost certainly exceeds $100/hour.
It's about the apps, not the politics. Dorky zealots will never understand that. But since this is home for them, I guess they'll have their way here.

In an era of really inexpensive hardware and KVM switches, I can't see a reason to ever dual boot.
If he were to glue the battery cover on, how's he going to change the batteries?
He can throw on a black turtleneck, cop an attitude, and pretend it's an iPod.
Extra bonus points for throwing it away and buying a new one when the batteries wear out.

Let that hatred drain out of you. It's probably good therapy.
Many people graduate and LEAVE college. The learning process has just begun when you get that degree, you know.

13) Sanctimonious person chiding about the environment.
They could put a Ralph Nader speech loop on it.

Not "Republican wealthy" either. Actually wealthy.
Translation: Inherited wealth, or wealth earned by giving blow jobs to casting directors, not earned wealth.
So what class do you place yourself in?
You're an 'enlightened intellectual,' correct? And your track of thinking isn't a track at all. It's the complete truth. And while you would never claim to have it all figured out, you consider yourself way ahead of most others and 'if you were just in charge' things would be better.
Correct?
Bonus question: Do you understand why you are using the term "Democrat" instead of "Democratic"?
Because I've been to my caucus and I know they're in no fashion democratic.
Castro was a head of state with a military to protect him.

The 'Save A Tree' thing is nonsense.

Well, it was an attempt at a rescue mission, but Chicago is still in deep shit.
The machine has deep roots, and excising one crook, albeit to put him in a 'higher office' doesn't change that.
It's not enough he ruined my state,
He's a Democrat. What did you expect?
