    Stayed tuned for more from the Blatantly Obvious News Network!
    Wait... B.O.N.N? Are you saying something about the hygiene of your average slashdotter too?

    We're seeing your effect and we're kind of glad. It's like the shinny red button that says "DO NOT PRESS!" people want to press it more now, than ever.

    Also, bittorrent is the only thing I know to get better with the Streisand and Slashdot effects...

  7. Re:Time constraints on Next Year's Laws, Now Out In Beta! · · Score: 1

    But it would still be effected by TFA. It would be slowed in the process more then it was as a piece of legislation that suppose to be passed as quickly as possible. While I may not agree with sending us more into debt to try to jump start the economy presumably caused by wall street speculators and war, it still serves the example as a necessary evil to quickly pass both houses for signature.

    can think of no law that needs to be passed quickly
    Not a one huh?
  9. Time constraints on Next Year's Laws, Now Out In Beta! · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You can't be nimble enough to get laws needed passed in time if you put even more bureaucracy in place. What the article proposes would take long, what get implemented would take longer.

    Our system in perfect, it's far from. But it works when it needs to.

    Now I'm sure, at the very least, they've gone over their logs, looking at the capacity and actual usage, put it all into kick ass pie charts and crunched some numbers.
    It was in their marketing power point presentation for this year that they could do this! If it's in power point it has to be true... Like everything on TV or that you read online...

  16. It's all timing on Deal Reportedly Reached In Writers' Strike · · Score: 1

    Like any good comedy it's all about timing. Writers used the directors deal as a template, or so it's rumored. Then again, now the studios have had a wonderful excuse to cut some dead weight and they'll have a deal in time for the Oscars.

  17. Re:Why Are They Only Targeting Wikipedia on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    A nihilist believes there are no reasons for anything. But that doesn't mean the keyboard I'm typing on doesn't exist.
    NO! We are not going into that metaphysical debate! Your keyboard exists! Please... no debates about nothingness... I don't want to bring cats in a box into this...
  18. Re:Why Are They Only Targeting Wikipedia on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1
    I'll grant you I wrote gnostic when I meant Agnostic... But, Nihilism...

    Nihilists generally assert some or all of the following:
    * there is no reasonable proof of the existence of a higher ruler or creator,
    * a "true morality" does not exist, and
    * objective secular ethics are impossible; therefore, life has, in a sense, no truth, and no action is objectively preferable to any other.
    That sounds pretty close to believing in Nothing Lebowski.

    You can be an atheist as much as you can be a nihilist or a gnostic. It's just a matter of how much faith and effort you want to put into your belief of nothing...

    This is why I prefer atheism. It's a non-prophet religion...

  23. Re:What did I gain? on Antivirus Inventor Says Security Pros Are Wasting Time · · Score: 1

    Taking the time to educate people about what is safe is far more effective
    "Educating" users is like herding cats. As soon as you think you're getting somewhere with it, they all scatter. As much as I hate it, sometime you need to be heavy handed with policy in order to get anyone to learn. It also gets more difficult as an organization gets larger.
