I simply don't get this comment....If Obama was the god of freedom that Leftists claim, he would have overturned the over-extending post-911 policies of the Bush Administration such as the Patriot Act instead of reveling in them and expanding them like many non-liberals warned that he would.
Exactly. This actually sounds like a good thing. It's both requiring it and putting limits on it so that Toyota can't lie and say they don't have it anymore.
Why should they bring that money back into the country to hire more expensive employees that are going to demand enough pay to buy a house for their family instead of living 20 to a dirt hut or sleeping in a company cot in the barracks?
But this situation doesn't last for long. Indian workers now live in modern houses in the suburbs with a car and work in modern buildings that from the inside look just like American buildings. So now there are problems in outsourcing to India because the competition for the good people have gone up and now rates there are half of the US instead of 1/10. And when they are half, the overhead to work overseas no longer pays for itself. So, they can try to find cheap workers elsewhere, but they don't speak English like Indians do. Ultimately, it's getting cheaper to just hire Americans again, because there is too much competition in India to make it profitable.
Thanks for your candid admission. As an Evangelical Christian, I am often frustrated by extreme right-wingers as well. (No, the latest Republican is not the answer to all ills. And Tea Partiers, while they have a correct basic premise in that the government doesn't listen to the people, are frankly completely insane in the way they go about things and who they back.)
All that said, there are several anti-vaxers at my church and in other homeschool/church groups that I am familiar with, so you are dead-on right about that. It definitely comes from both fringes.
In other words, the cop was claiming that my woefully underpowered car from the 70s was accelerating like a modern Porsche.
I had a similar situation where I was stopped going 80 on the freeway. The problem was my Saturn couldn't have accelerated to 80 from the ramp. I presented the mathematical formula to the judge and the officer, showing that there was no way my car could do what he was claiming. They didn't care. I got the ticket anyway.
A good portion of the world is Monotheistic, the majors religions that are not Monotheistic are not praying to Roman Gods.
Jesus +1 Romans -1
False cause. Jesus died centuries before Christianity was anything more than a persecuted cult. If anything, the Roman emperor Constantine I was more directly involved with saving Christianity from total obscurity.
Jesus died decades before Christianity was anything more than a persecuted cult. Ever hear of Nero?
I had a friend from Afghanistan (pre-Taliban) and he said that you could leave a bag of gold coins on the passenger seat of your car with the coins coming out onto the seat, with the windows rolled down and the doors unlocked. And nobody would touch it. Why? Because if you were caught they cut your hand off. And they only had to cut off about 8 hands per year, because everyone else got the message.
I can also just stab the old lady with a kitchen knife. But either way I'm probably going to jail for the rest of my life, which keeps me from doing it.
And how long does the total trip take? In Southern California, I go 18 miles to work in 20 minutes (the ride home is usually 30-40). Time IS money, you know.
I usually implement 10-year bans myself. Well, basically 1, 10, life. Sony has had enough 10-year bans in the last 10 years to qualify for life at this point. I will NEVER buy another Sony product again.
Also, you use logarithmically-increasing delays to both the username and the IP address (and to a lesser extent, range) that tries this. They won't be trying much for long. And no, I don't want people on zombie botnets coming to my site.
Actually, there was a study that the most pure English was in California and the US MidWest. This will only increase because of the sheer amount of media produced in Southern California.
I think it started to a large extent with Star Wars. George Lucas wanted the "Rebels" to sound American and the "Empire" to sound British, to evoke the "Revolutionary" feel of the American Revolution.
Many other movies have used this (Pirates of the Caribbean, for instance).
Also, don't forget that George was completely vilified for making some characters sound Asian and Jamaican in the Prequels.
At the end of such an Informative post you actually compared "Republican" to "turd"? Wake up man! Both sides are the same! Don't you know that by your comparison all you're communicating is that you're a pawn of the media? Besides, we're talking about media companies, not oil and war contractors, so if your blaming leans at all, it should lean left.

You're a couple hundred years too late.
Man, where's my FUNNY mod points?

Yeah. I've heard of them. My Ubuntu servers at home crashed so often, I went back to Windows servers, which I believe is the point of this thread.

There is some truth to this.
I had a friend from Afghanistan (pre-Taliban) and he said that you could leave a bag of gold coins on the passenger seat of your car with the coins coming out onto the seat, with the windows rolled down and the doors unlocked. And nobody would touch it. Why? Because if you were caught they cut your hand off. And they only had to cut off about 8 hands per year, because everyone else got the message.

Same in Southern California.
But that's the beauty of Slashdot! You can do both! We'll be waiting for your Sony bash...

Sounds kind of like the iPhone, except that Samsung makes all the parts and FoxConn puts them together, all for Apple.

His plan...

Marvel did exactly this in their issue of "What If" that was a series of jokes instead of an Alternate Universe story. "What if Thor spoke in a Swedish accent?"

We can't. We're afraid to say anything...

Read the article. They have a very plausible reason why aspirin could help with various forms of cancer.
And here is the wisdom that science easily misses...
