Undecided voters are undecided because: a. there isn't any real difference between politicians. b. THEY DO NOT CARE WHO WINS.
Nonsense. Do you want military spending and illegal wars or do you want nationalised healthcare? Tough choice if you don't want either but the two primary candidates both promote one.
In the UK it's far more nuanced, as there will be 4-8 candidates, with heavily overlapping views and policies.
It's very possible to care deeply and still be undecided.
Tricky one. A property has intrinsic value due to benefits that could be derived from it. If you're not deriving those benefits the property doesn't lose its value.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect cyclists to have adequate lighting on their bikes at night. It's very rare that an entire journey would have street lighting at any time of night.
Then again, I live in a village with green fields on all sides. It gets lovely and mostly dark around here.
your neighbour has reasonable grounds for installing suitable lighting of their own for security, safety and access purpose
None of which justifies their light illuminating your property, and particularly your windows.
It's not a major issue for me and I already have nice thick lined curtains, but the council are obliged to act on your behalf if light pollution is causing you an issue.
bike lights are basically worthless for seeing the road ahead and only useful for other people to see the cyclist
Only if you go with the trendy flashing LED "look, I'm here and I'm trendy and important" bullshit lights favoured these days.
I was cycling down dark country roads with more than adequate visibility using proper bike lights over 20 years ago, don't pretend you can't get a decent light these days.
Worse, he's now started posting bullshit trying to pretend he's being downmodded by people supporting adblock.
Not only is he stupid enough to spam slashdot, he's stupid enough not to realise that spam gets modded down.
It really has made this whole article a fucking waste of time from a comments front. Slashdot editors really need to blacklist his IP - maybe using their hosts file.
I don't need to prove him wrong. His constant spamming shows that he lacks morals, business ethics or consideration for other people, and that means his software is getting nowhere fucking near my PC.
He's a twat and his spam is obnoxious, irritating and (due to the point above) totally irrelevant. I can't and don't trust him or his software.
You're demonstrating that my use of the word cunt is very appropriate, and also backing up my point about people throwing the word privilege around to push an indefensible agenda.
You still haven't answered my initial questions, because you want to demonize me for challenging you instead of setting out your arguments. It's quite comical.
As it happens, yes. I have Aspergers, I get shit scared by ignorant cunts abusing standard English terms in order to avoid having to defend their agenda of hatred.
Happens that 'privilege' is an excellent example of just that.
What the fuck _is_ privilege? What the fuck do you know about the person to whom you used it as a slur? How the fuck is being surprised that a class of musicians don't prioritise their art any form of fucking alleged privilege anyway?
You were trolling, and flaming the person to whom you responded. The bit that I'm amazed at is that you got any insightful mods.

The anarchic decentralised network still exists. It just doesn't get the mainstream attention.
This may be a good thing.
Really? I can force Vimeo to post my content?
If proper counter-notification is received then Vimeo can safely reinstate the content without being directly liable for any infringement.
That doesn't mean that they're obliged to do so. It's their site, they can choose not to host my content whether it's infringing copyright or not.

How does "I don't give a shit, the compiler deals with that crap for me" score?
Simple, but very very flawed.
I know too many idiots to ever support a seniority based approach, especially where unions make it very hard to remove incompetent people.
No, we have a sense of humour. It's altogether more civilised and allows for nuance, subtlety and more advanced forms of wit.
All of which were sadly absent from the alleged joke about weenies.

Maybe you should slow down if you can't see properly.
http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/1000... isn't enough light for you? Mount two of them, you'll put out as much light as a car.

It's not a major issue for me and I already have nice thick lined curtains, but the council are obliged to act on your behalf if light pollution is causing you an issue.
You can also choose not to ask them.
'Disable' apparently means 'keep sending shit' unless you're on Enterprise edition.
Depends how frequent an extreme it is.
Live somewhere with a monsoon season and it's probably both extreme and the norm.
You can ask your council to step in and take action against a neighbour that is causing unnecessary light pollution.
Just as the council can baffle their lights, so can your neighbour.
They do, here. Lights go off at midnight, GMT. They don't recognise daylight savings, so you get an extra hour of light in the summer.

Brits are such a bunch of faggots.
If you knew anything about us, you'd know we eat faggots.
In my village approximately none are dimmed and (guessing) around 80% are shut off.
It's lovely.
But separate them out and you have self-commenting easily maintainable and more easily debugged code.
Using the ternary operator is laziness, not advanced programming.

It's easy, just shift a couple to your mouth while you type.
You should practice, it'd be educational for you.
privilege
Explain?
Go use Wikipedia
No. I own several dictionaries and none of them explain why you're using a term intended to belittle others and discount their opinions.
You don't appear to be able to either. You truly are a cunt.
