This is perhaps the stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life, and I once watched a monkey eat its own feces at the Washington Zoo. What, exactly, happened in that particular marketing meeting?
Lackwit 1: Hey! We have these high-investment electronic products to sell, what should we do with them?
Lackwit 2: I'm hungry, anyone want a candy bar while I'm up?
Lackwit 3: How much are they?
Lackwit 2: Seventy five cents.
Lackwit 1: Hmmm.... if Mars can sell low-cost products for under a dollar in a vending machine, why can't we sell highly expensive electronics for hundreds of dollars in the same venue!? I'm a marketing major! Give me $300,000 for that idea, a promotion, and 50,000 shares of stock in your competitor!
You get lucky and land flush, you're talking brain bleed, easily fatal.
I think your wife needs a new profession.
The adult human skull, when healthy, is nearly impenetrable even when we're talking blunt objects swung under average human muscle power. The biggest concern in taking a knee to the head is eye damage, not brain damage. Eye damage can be extreme, permament, and can lead to far more serious complications. You may get jostled and become slightly disoriented, but if your skull lets a blow from a knee damage your brain permanently or severly, you either have some seriously shit luck or there's something fantastically wrong with your skull.
Knees don't do piercing damage (for all you AD&D nerds), they do blunt shock damage. Any impact on the brain comes from sudden shock causing the fluids to fail in protecting against impact on the inside of the skull of the brain as it sits still while the surrounding bone moves (like you in a car when the brakes are slammed). This will almost never, if ever, cause internal hemorraghing during a normal fight. Concussions, disorientation, and short term memory loss, yes, Internal bleeding is very unlikely.
I've been punched, kicked, and kneed in the head, I took a car door to the side of the head, fell off a mezzanine on my head, and been hit in the side of the head with a baseball bat. I may be damaged goods, but I've never once suffered even a concussion, much less any sort of hemorrahge. I've suffered short term memory loss, disorientation, temporary migraines, and blindness. Never bleeding into the brain.
People give WAY to much credit to the ability of a fist to cause damage. Even an untrained nerdy tech can withstand a pummeling that leaves him blood-soaked and unable to move and not suffer any permanent damage. Individual beatings, unless truly severe, do not generally create much cause for alarm. It's the longterm buildup of individual pummelings over years or even decades that cause serious problems. In the short term, most people "lose" fights because they're not used to being hit and the pain is more serious than the actual injury, causing them to panic and run.
I don't like the fact that all these "realty-squatting bastards" jumped on cheap land deals back in the 70s, but that's not going to stop me from buying a house.
If the market will bear it, then there's no real problem. Besides, you're under no obligation to honor the current DNS system and neither is anybody else. If you're so uptight about it, reinvent your own DNS and make it successful. Then you can do whatever you want with all the names.
Prior to the modern version of the scientist, there were still scientists. Those "scientists" were tasked primarily with explaining Creation. E.g. "why did God do this, how does God's Creation work".
Then, one day, they got smarter than a ball of wax and we got modern science in the sense that we know it today, diseases started disappearing at a nice clip, lifespans shot up, we went to the moon, and spam was invented.
So, I guess it depends on how you define "scientist": a fearful, ignorant welp with little to contribute to the world, or somebody who actually tries to answer real questions.
Are you equating the importance of texting with the importance of breathing?
While I agree that this type of tax is quite well beyond any sensible bounds, and little more than a pathetic ploy for grabbing money out of the pockets of the people, that was a pretty stupid analogy.
If we were talking about taxing emergency service calls or something, I'd let it slide, but this is taxing people engaging in a purely convenience-and-recreation-oriented act. It's hardly unprecedented that governments tax such things.
The problem with Microsoft's trademark is that Microsoft is so ridiculously ubiquitous that no matter where you go, they can probably make a case that some lunkhead is going to confuse you and them.
To be honest, considering the staggering ignorance of the general public when it comes to computing, I can't say as I can't see their point on that matter.
Besides, if you called your landscape company "Microsoft" you'd have a hard time explaining why you chose the name, which certainly wouldn't help your case.
Good. If nobody participates then they have no reason to keep wasting my monies resodding the goddamn football field every two years.
They could funnel some of the money back into education. I suggest they begin by using it to give the administrators some paid time off so they can attend their own damn Civics classes.
It's not out yet, so it has no practical track record in real world use. It could just as easily be huge, steaming pile of crap as the work of God himself for all you know.
If you really believe that a secret cabal of Jews controls everything, your opinion about anything else is utterly unimportant to me.
Did you know that just because you say I believe something that doesn't make it so?
Probably not since another common right-wing tactic is to make up fake, unpleasant positions for people, assign it to them, and then hope that nobody actually reads the entire discussion and realizes that in no point in time did the guy sparring with the radical right-winger espouse any such opinion.
Typical failure of the right-wing ideology to actually come up with anything intelligent. You resort to making up lies about me to quell the throbbing failure of your sick ideology as it bounces around your skull.
Go back to gently stroking your ego. It's pretty much all you've got.
Wow, care to cite the study that established that particular "fact" about the physiology of teachers, professor?
Holy crap. This may well be the densest thread in Slashdot history. If one more jackass posts something stupid, it may well collapse into a singularity and consume the entire Internet.
Frankly, if I ever saw one of these shitheads that seems to like to pick on kids, I'd walk up and kick him in the nuts...
Holy crap, you're like the Bruce Willis of the World Wide Web. I'll bet you're a big tough man talking the talk before he walks the walk rather than an obese, smelly, poorly-dressed nerd with no social life and twig-like, pasty limbs.
Please, make some more credible threats of violence. You just don't see things like this on the WWW. It's so novel!
Yes, because obviously if it's not on the main page, it's not there. Do you still play that game where if you cover your eyes, everybody else disappears?
Here ya go, buddy. [indymedia.org]

The basis for this website is the paranoia that the U.S. Government itself brought down the towers.
No. Actually, Jews did it. To fool Americans into fighting Israel's enemies. Simple as that.
Congratulations. You got trolled by a 5 year old GNAA meme. In fact, it's so famous now that it's even listed as a commonly recurring troll in the Slashdot Trolling article on wikipedia:
I fail to see how this anti-semetic. Do you call every claim about Judaism and its influence that you disagree with "anti-semetic"? Because, you know, just because a claim is unsupported or incorrect doesn't make it "anti-semetic". Typical right-winger, can't refute claims he disagrees with, so he just slaps down the "YOU HATE TEH JEWS!!!!" comments instead. What's REALLY pathetic is that to refute the claims like "you have to have Jewish support to be President" you could say "prove it". Too bad you couldn't think far enough ahead of your emtpy, slanderous rhetoric to get to that thought.
Same as above. You claim that the statements are invalid, but you can't refute them, so you just slap down the anti-semetism label and hope nobody actually reads the document you're decrying. Typical.
Since you apparently don't know what anti-semetism is, would you like me to send you a dictionary? Because, you know, decrying portions of a religion isn't anti-semetic. In fact, you appear to be of the opinion that unless you agree unconditionally with every single facet of Judaism and Jewish culture, you're an anti-semite. Typical right-winger. No substance, just has to try and degrade everybody else on the hopes that nobody will listen to them.
Anti-Semitic; it's the new progressive.
Immediately calling everybody you disagree with anti-semetic: It's the new conservative.
But, hey, who can blame you? Since you have no actual points to make, and no intelligent opinions, you latched onto something that nobody who's PC would ever disagree with. I mean, considering what happened in the Holocaust, who would dare defend someone from anti-semetism charges, no matter how invalid the charges are, right?

Is there ANY market segment where Yahoo! isn't playing second-fiddle to somebody else?
You should have linked your entire post to Tubgirl.
You fail.

I guess that says something about some of the developers around here....
I gotta say, the AC has a point. I spend 50-60 hours a week writing code because, uh, that's what I'm paid to do.

No, the people using them are notoriously bad at guaging whether or not the price the market set is fair.
Don't lay stupid economic behaviors in market users at the feet of the markets. Markets don't shoot people, people shoot people.
In other words it's a legitimate business.
I don't like the fact that all these "realty-squatting bastards" jumped on cheap land deals back in the 70s, but that's not going to stop me from buying a house.

They're too slippery to bond that kind of thing effectively:

We should combine our powers now and create the superherioc Failman, who's only adversary is the dastardly success of digg.com.
We will be second in coolness only to Captain Planet!
Initial reports indicate that the extremist right-wing has finally, using a technical term "gone off the deep end" and is trying to invoke civil war.
More news in five less minutes, at 11:00.

Why the fuck don't you like me you shiftless little cuntrag?
Or does doing development on it not count as real world use?
If the answer to that is not obvious to you, nothing short of gene therapy can help.
It's not out yet, so it has no practical track record in real world use. It could just as easily be huge, steaming pile of crap as the work of God himself for all you know.
