It is NOT an established fact that comments or trackbacks are part and parcel to a blog
No, I'm using my eyes. If I visit LGF, I see that there are comments. They're part of the blog. There is no more argument, you're just being foolish and, as is typical of the right, trying to lie through your teeth so often that people just begin to default to believing you.
If that were so, you could get a site indexed just by leaving a well-worded racist comment and then lodging a complaint.
Typical right-wing gibberish, trying to skew the issue to something it isn't. The sites that were axed are consistently visited by people who consitently post violent, racist rhetoric which is consistently tolerated or even encouraged by the administrators. I can easily find a slew of comments to support that claim, if you don't believe me.
The quoted comment isn't worse than a thousand others on Daily Kos (search [google.com]) Democratic Underground (search [google.com]).
Congratulations. You found insults. We're talking about threats of violence, calls for genocide, and people apparently preparing to start a second civil war.
Hmmm... liberals call people Wingnuts. Right-wingers threaten to kill people who disagree with them (see my original post on the matter). I wonder which is of major concern, and which isn't?
Maybe next time you cite something you should consider reading past the title. I know it must be hard for somebody who is so deathly afraid of elitist things like "literacy", but do try, please. You'll make FAR less an ass of yourself in the future.
Cite an actual article. I'm not going to read through a whole page of Google search results just because you claim they're something that the first three I DID read aren't.
You don't have to accept any mail. If you refuse to sign it, they'll just note that it was delivered, but you refused to sign for it. If you really wanted to, you could refuse things like jury duty notices and court summons.
You'd still be in trouble, of course, but you could do it.
I wouldn't care so much about copy protection if it actually worked and was transparent during legit use.
I fail to see why anybody would need to make copies anyway. You can argue "backups", but that's just a cheesy excuse. If you destroy the product somehow, it's not really unfair if you have to rebuy it. In that sense, the ability to make backups would be a benefit of the medium, but the fact that it's so exploited by theives negates that benefit.
What I really hate is having to have the CD in the tray. Once I have the game installed, I shouldn't need the damn CD, or I should at least be able to remove it once the game is playing. I'm sick of having a fully functional game on my system that I can't play becaue the CD has a scratch over the 50 bytes of data that "proves" I really do own the bloody thing.
That and CD Keys. I have owned about a dozen CD keys for Diablo II over the years because I committed the heinous crime of throwing out all my jewel cases to save space. There's a certain irony in that because I actually own two complete copies of Diablo II (bought it when it came out, then when the expansion came out the Diablo "chest" package which had that, Diablo 1 [which I also own two of now], the expansion, and some game guides was actually $10 less than the expansion by itself for awhile). The last time I just gave up, pitched the discs, and I haven't bought a Blizzard product since, nor do I intend to anytime soon.
Copy protection doesn't bother me in the magical pixie world where it works. In fact, it might even help alleviate some of the irritations like CD-Keys and disc-in-drive checks, though I suspect that if I hold my breath waiting for game companies to be benevolent (or, at least not malicious) toward customers, I'll probably suffocate.
I am sure you noticed that the text you quoted is a USER COMMENT.
What a useless retort. The "trackbacks" are part of the blog, so they're part of what's linked, so consideration of the user comments is perfectly valid. That's like saying Google should link to sites like StormFront.org because the forums occasionally contain actual information, and it's the comments that result that are racist.
It's all one damn site. If they want re-linked, they should quit tolerating the racist, homicidal ranting.
I am sure you are also aware that similar comments from liberals, radical Islamists, and plenty of others opposed to American right-wing politics exist on other blogs.
Typical. Claim with no backup. It's amazing how liberals are engaged in all this bad behavior that nobody can ever seem to source...
For every ONE comment of the type I posted that you can give me from a "liberal" on a "liberal" blog, I will give you THREE from a right-wing blog. I am more than confident you will run out of material long before I do.
Sites like DKOS and DU may tolerate a lot of dumb statements, but they don't tolerate violent rhetoric, death threats, and calls for what amounts to political genocide in the U.S. That's why they're still in Google News.
I am, however, sure that your convenient ignorance of these facts is intended to mislead casual readers.
Since when is random, uncited blabbering "fact"? No wonder the right has so many "facts" on its side. It must be very convenient for you when you define "fact" as "whatever comes out of my mouth".
The whole "problem" is that extremist-felchers like you are calling for lobotomies, gags, deportation, impeachment, and more, and then bitching when people point out the double standard is not "objective".
I'll bet a bigger part of your problem is that you can't recognize this real FACT: Google doesn't have to be objective, it's their site, and they're in it for money.
All this "censorship" means is that normal people want news from Google News, and they're not willing to tolerate a bunch of racist, genocidal, war-mongering hillbillies to get to it.
Perhaps I'm wrong since the CNN article has, as usual, no useful information, but my understanding is that the spacecraft traveled through the edge, not along it, which would amount to only two useful datapoints (one from V I and one from V II) for each unit of depth into the "edge" the spacecraft moved.
That's two data points, and "bulging" implies a highly irregular shape, or at least an even shape that couldn't be accurately modeled by two data points.
Wouldn't it be equally as logical to say that it's just expanding/contracting? How can they know with only two points?
They were dropped because people who were clicking through to get "news" were being greeted with things like this:
Talking to yourself, idiot? Fuck you and every other liberal moron on the planet, and your muslim masters you piece of shit. The only thing I want to do with you and your kind is to watch until you stop kicking, and considering how fast society is falling apart and the government is losing control of the country because of political greed and corruption in both parties, I won't have long to wait. There'll be war in America soon, and your kind are gutless cowards, so enjoy your privileged life of blissful stupidity while you can, because the ride will be over soon, and your muslim friends will be strapping suicide vests on you, if we don't get you first. You're screwed, but then, you picked the team you wanted to play on.
Posted to this site which is still in the results.
The entire issue is nothing more than typical facist whining. They're not being "censored" out of political bias, they're being dropped because the blogs themselves are either racist, homophobic, genocidal, and possibly illegal, or the commenters are posting things that fit any combination of those categories.
The whole "problem" is that these extremist-right-wing whackjobs are calling for murder, civil war, genocide, forced sterilization, and more, and then bitching when people are duped into thinking that kind of garbage is "news".
More accurately, it has to do with perception. Older people are highly resistant to change because they tend to be established in their ways. The more successfully established they are, the less they care about changing things for the better of everyone else.
In other words, Liberal people are trying to fight for change for other people, because they have nothing to lose. Conservatives are trying to keep things the same no matter who they're screwing over, because they have a lot to lose.
In other words, it's exactly what it's always been: conservatives are self-serving assholes who only care about themselves, and liberals are interested in dragging society forward kicking and screaming.
As it has always been. There's no such thing as "conservative progress" by definition, so, for the most part, every good thing in society today like, for example, democracy, can be directly attributed to somebody who was a dirty, rotten, leftist, commie bastard in his time and place.

Just out of curiosity, what led you to believe that this was a Civil Court?

...my Zenith *only* accepts HDTV resolutions in the HDTV input and 480i appears as gibberish.
Yes, but on the brightside it was very expensive gibberish.
How many reasons do I now have to not buy a PS3?

QED.

I feel like lllooooovving youooooou.

that Zonk's a prick
I feel like llooooving youoooouuu.
So make some fun
And not the same
old shit for once
It's just the way things aaarreeeee
I don't know, but since the transfer medium you were trying to think of is a station wagon, not a VW Bug, I don't see what it matters.
That's probably the most insightful thing I've ever seen, only because it's true.
