Get rid of it? How? Are you going to stick a gun to my head and tell me what to believe and what not to believe?
Would you... dare I say... sentence me to death for criticizing an Atheist government?
Religion isn't the problem, blowing shit out of proportion is. Atheists can be just as bad as Christians or Muslims or Scientologists, they are after all - people.
Wow, at the rate things are going, I might have to consider doing that myself.
I am NOT joking. A hospital I went to for a gallstone is threatening to sue me for bills I cannot pay. Those guys did everything to me, gave me the premium care when I didn't ask for it. Now I'll have to either pay out the ass, or join the military.
I thought it was about the freedom for hobbyist programmers. The usual end user isn't going to fret over the closed state of a printer driver or similar program. The usual end user is about finding entertainment or getting a task done. GPL sucks at entertaining people, and GPL productivity programs usually tend to be second best to their closed source counter parts.
I'm going to get modded down and I don't care. I'm not a coward.
Hopefully Eve Online + Orbiter - Several Thousand Years.
As an Orbiter and Frontier Elite fan, I find this very interesting. I look forward to seeing what NASA cooks up.
Then I bet you people would want the XPS. For such an enlightened open source crowd, I don't see how you could stand Apple. If you do so much as find a bug or link to an online manual you get sued. You people scream about he vendor lock in Microsoft puts on you... just try getting those shiny apple programs you fell in love with to run on Linux.
Personally I like the all in one design, but not enough to get one for myself. Give me a black or beige box that I can upgrade for as long as the ATX standard exists.
So you think that someone with the intent to kill and scare as many people as possible (no such thing right?) would never break one of these things open to make a dirty bomb?
Hey I'm just sayin'.
I wonder if the reactors come with free security...
No worries. A trip to Earth would be a waste of money.
Also, alien life would have to be extremely rare. All because you have a habitable planet with dancing chemicals doesn't mean you'll get intelligent life. And even then they would have to have the technology to detect our radio signals... and EVEN THEN they would need the computers to track our faint signals and determine they aren't natural.
Yep, all you can do now is live in fear. It's no longer about being a good citizen. Given enough time, they will eventually come and make an example of you.

Although we will be fine for the near future, anything can happen. Don't believe America is an empire that can last forever.
As an empire, no. As a nation we'll be around in some form or another till the end of time. The nukes guarantee that. If we go, we'll take the world with us.
No, they are 'supposed' to. Democrats typically try to pass domestic laws that attempt to protect us from ourselves. While I'm against the construction of an all-knowing nanny state, I can understand a law that makes gambling illegal.
But this! This is just corruption, plain and simple.
All political parties are corrupt. All governments are corrupt. Not every seemingly good intention is for the good of the people. But we aren't completely powerless. Continue to fight for your rights as American citizens, and you can keep people like this from ruining your country.
If you have a near-monopoly on the 2D graphics software industry, you no longer have to pay attention to the demands of your customers. The customers are no longer important, and you'll discover that they will tolerate all kinds of abuse to continue to use your software. Charging them by the minute and making them pay for a subscription instead of an actual software package is very smart from the Adobe point of view. It guarantees a continuous flow of money and no chance of piracy.

When I was little I too wanted to be an astronaut. I made the mistake of telling other kids, and from then on I was a nerd.
...Affirmative action...

Maybe I'll get lucky and die.

In the event one of them come in our direction, all we need to do is slashdot it and hope no one opens the cache.
I want them to drink from a different water fountain. I don't want their sex cooties on me.

The odds are so overwhelming that it should still matter to you.
Most of the people here would have been expelled long ago...
Unless you're suggesting that the Earth will in fact stop spinning... no.
So 2012 then?

Nothing would stop him from just reporting you anyway. You don't even have to have a computer.
Yet another reason to keep games off the mission-critical system. I wonder who's getting fired... and I don't mean just the guys working on Eve. >=D
On another note, I played Eve for a while until I temporarily left the subscription. Now I'm not sure I'll pick the game back up.
It would be pretty neat if Voyager 2 suddenly popped up on the opposite side of the solar system. Then we'd have a new barrier to obsess over.
2012 == End of The World

The computer hardware people should be fine though. Computers will always need new hardware to replace the things that break or are too slow.
Children are probably the best thing to ever happen to hardware manufacturers.
