What are the chances of the moon itself getting its own moon. Right now the moon orbits around the earth that orbits around the sun. How many levels can we go?
Judge: John Doe, what is your claim against the defendant?
John Doe: Mr Google Man said my data would be portable. When i asked him where my data was, he said "search me".
Judge: Mr. Google Man, did you indeed say "search me".
Mr. Google Man: Yes sir, i did.
Judge: And why? Did you not have the data in a portable fashion?
Mr. Google Man: Yes, i did. When i said "search me", i mean to go to the google home page, and search for it.
Judge: And why should he search for it?
Mr. Google Man: The new privatedata.google.com (beta) has easy access to everyone's private information, and he could access it more easily there than anywhere else.
Judge: Do you mean to say that people's private data, for example, mine, is easily availabe?
Mr. Google Man: Yes sir. The Google Man can!
John Doe: I thought the it was the Candy Man that can, er could, can could, yes could.
Judge: The Candy Man was arrested a few years ago for inappropriate relations with a child.
Mr. Google Man: John Doe is the Candy Man.
Judge: Is he now?
Mr. Google Man: Yes sir. A simple search on gimmethegoodsonmyneighbor.google.com (beta) will show that during the investigation most blogs thought he was him.
Judge: Blogs??
Mr. Google Man: You're honor, i move that we drop this case. Jusst like you dropped marijuana right before you came on the bench.
Judge: Strike that from the record!
Judge: Motion to Dismiss accepted. John Doe will pay the court costs.
The Republicans had control of both houses of congress, the presidency, and "right wing" majority in Supreme Court.
Um, no.
They did not have enough to cloture in the Seante. And the "right wing" majority in the Supreme court that you speak up is not there. There is a moderately conservative majority there, but certainly not right wing.
Now, shift back 14 years. Clinton had control of the House and Senate and tried to pass national health care via his wife.
In related news, Slashdot will be removing "+1 Interesting" in compliance with the patent. Moderators are reccomended to use "underratred" instead.

The world's a better place because homosexuality has been mainstreamed. It'll be a better place still when pedophilia is absolutely and explicitly denied the same path and the same acceptance.
Yet you offer no reason for the difference. You are just pandering to the current thoughts of the day.
It is known as High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, or HSDPA
UUWAW (Unfinished Unpronounceable Wearisome Acronym With) (pronounced ooh-wahw) with the added bonus of starting with a vowel, so people can debated whether the preceding word is "a" or "an", refers tio a list of acronbyms made, just to be acronyms.
"HSDPA" doesn't sound whizzbangy, but is useless and hard to pronounce. Definitely a low qualifier.
So, i saw the title "Login Code of Conduct Found Not Binding" and thought maybe, just maybe, it'd be an interesting article on coding on this news for nerds site. Instead, i find someone who agreed to something and subsequently broke that agreement, and was praised for it. This is very disappointing.

Slashdot's internal translator did an excellent job. However, like most things, it's better if you read it in the original Klingon:
Ok slashdotters, a friend...um... yes... a friend didn't do his job, and blamed it on the operating system. The management isn't buying into his excuse and told him to do his job or get sued for neglegence. But instead he wants to get paid so he play WoW and say it isn't his problem.
How do i hack into management's email and holds the good against them so they pay him hush money and call it a job?
Remember how in India they were taxing light energy? Can you imagine the UN declaring rights over sunlight and charging each country for its use? After all, a sunshade is expensive to keep.

Microwaves? Those nuke boxen? I think i can still hear my cordless phone ringing.
phone rings
Honey, don't bother, that just me doing a backup.
We're on dialup?
No, we're on expensive behind-European broadband, but i'm backing up via microwave.
You're using the microwave as a backup?
No, i'm using the other computer as a backup, i'm using the microwave to make some popcorn.
Oh, i see, so when can i use the phone?
You can use the phone now.
Then why is it ringing?
That's just me doing a backup.
I thought you said we're not on dialup.
grumbles Would you like some popcorn dear?
Guess the term "the other white meat" will have to go.
Kewl. I mean hot.

Now had they just used a real database, this wouldn't be an issue.

MySQL for them, three hours for us.
Hmm... one thing though, this flat mode reminds me of the good old days.

How is national health care a "left wing" agenda?
:)
I only have one word for you. "Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha". I can't believe you said that with a straight face.
Cheers.
OK "Court stenographer" was stupid, but i kept reading, and it paid off. That last line is hilarious.

For telnet a *much* higher level is used, at less than a second, or people get annoyed at the slowness.

Guess they just want the bare essentials...
pedophilia is an inherently exploitative act
Even if the parents ok it? Even if the relation is emotional (most cases of pedophilia) and not physical?
There is a difference between statuatory rape and actual rape. Not allowing people to talk about it seems quite hard. Why not let them talk?
The world's a better place because homosexuality has been mainstreamed. It'll be a better place still when pedophilia is absolutely and explicitly denied the same path and the same acceptance.

Poland and Romania have an FBI?
