I'm sure the republican-controlled congress will continue its longstanding tradition of making government leaner and shoot this bill down, right? Right? I mean, look at all the other recent republican-controlled congressional actions designed to make government smaller and more effic...ah, shit.
You're right. I should have appended "and occasionally the product being marketed when gullible morons don't realize they're being advertised at." Thanks for the heads-up.
"'We're really concerned about the safety of our student-athletes and some of the personal information some of them have on there'"
Naturally the best way to help postsecondary students become responsible adults is to pretend you're their mommy. Shrewd move, Kennedy.
"If student-athletes don't remove their profiles by the deadline, they risk losing their scholarships"
SECURITY ADVISORY
Summary: Spoofing vulnerability Affected site(s): Kent State University Affected Versions: All Release Date: 6/27/2006
Details: Arbitrary Kent State athletes can have their scholarships revoked if the attacker has a picture of the athlete and can create a Facebook account using this photo along with vague details. Kent State athletes who already have Facebook accounts are at greater risk, as the information contained within will be more specific and credible when used by the attacker even if the student takes his or her account down. Vendor has not been notified, as vendor hasn't got a clue in the first place.
Workaround: Attend a school that treats adults like adults.
Too little, too late, marketing drones. Years of being beat over the head with the lowest common denominators in advertising schemes have forced most people to actively shun your idiotic bullshit. I don't care how "clever" you fucks think your ads are, they're going to be blocked.
"Then hand out (or read) Line Master: Some Copyright Laws."
Gosh, the only thing more exciting for those kids would be if Certified Public AccountantMan came in and read them some of the Canadian tax code. Lucky tykes.
"The 1996 law on this says the Govt. can ask for these records at any time."
Which 1996 law would that be, dumbfuck? Because the 1994 law (CALEA) says "pursuant to a court order or other lawful authorization" on every single line. But that may be too subtle for you.

Wait, they're laying off management instead of the grunts who actually make the products? Shit, they must be desperate.
Quick, someone revive Walt Disney so I can beat him back to death.

"a strange example of viral marketing gone wrong"
Viral marketing will never "go right" for anyone except the ass-sucking, bottom-feeding marketers who come up with it. Happy to help.
I was with Lucent when Hurricane Carly blew through. And boy, did she blow. Still does, in fact.
"the actual value of the object is not what I would pay for it
but what others would pay for it.
thus, I am over paying when I win an auction."
In that case, why the hell are you bidding more than you'd pay for it? Learn some self-control and your bank account will be happier.
"Of course, this strategy can backfire if only one person wants your item, then you end up selling it at a loss"
And this is how I ended up with a box of never-used OKI cell phones (11 of them, I believe) with batteries and chargers, for a penny. Good times.

As a senior citizen, I feel it's my duty to point this out: LOL! PWNT! W00t
Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens is doing something sneaky? Stop the presses!

You're better off with religion. Just ask L. Ron "worm food" Hubbard.

I propose we call it the "Pupeteer Fleet Worlds" and be done with it.
"I don't understand"
Because Slashdot is comprised of more than one person. Happy to help.
Pardon me for not giving a fuck what the music industry likes. It hasn't given a fuck what I like for years.

Looking at it from another angle, you paid $40 for a shirt.

I'm pretty sure Slashdot already has ads, fuckface. If you want to run yours, contact the sales department.
"There's an old adage about beggars and choosers you should look into."
I fail to see how "Choosy beggars choose Jif" has any bearing on his situation.
"I want to talk about open source, and software, and technology."
And yet here you are, talking about politics.
Funny how that works.
"unis cramp as many people into 4x4 yards room as they can without having troubles with PETA"
Wait, PETA cares about humans now?
Looks like that retro 80s craze is here to stay!
