I agree. I think at some point the question needs to be asked. At what point does a network cease to be part of the Internet? And what should be done when this change threshold is met? FG
This sounds like every other government/corporate plan to me so it's governance/business as usual. When will goverments and corps realize that the internet doesn't belong to them. It belongs to the users we just allow them to use it and profit from it if we so desire. If you can't compete on your own merits as a company, ideology, or political system this is not the place for you. FG
Another justification for Israel's participation was the Fedayeen raids which took place between 1951 and 1956 in which terrorists killed about 1300 Israelis. The terrorists where using bases in Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. While it is easy to say the nationalization of the canal was Israel's prime motivation it was not the case. There where several other valid reasons for Israel to participate. I blame the Ottoman Turks for most of the modern troubles in the region. FG
Why substitute one system in which assholes succeed for another? It still ends with shit.
Your other point is more interesting...why do we need bosses? The truth is groups divide themselves into leaders and followers by nature...it's how we are wired. The people who standout lead by default because everyone else is willing to let them. I think a better questions for the modern workplace is why is the boss I had yesterday the same boss I will have tomorrow. People will lead in the areas they are strongest...bosses should be assigned my deliverable not by some management hierarchy.
Yes, I am a boss:) But, I lead when I have to and follow when I should. FG
Hey! Just like all muslims are not terrorists not all muslims are goat humpers...but I do beleive that goat humping is an initiation ritual for would be terrorists as humping a dog or pig is forbidden.
Now instead of telling my boss that our issue has been escalated to level 2 support I can say "I won't have an answer until Elm0 in #L1nuxd00dz recovers from his caffine induced tirade about how LISP is more elegant that PERL".
Now that there I geek fight clubs not only do I have to worry about being laid off I now need to worry about Kumar in the call center getting stressed out while hopped up on the energy drink du jour and rampaging through the QA department cutting down testers in his path. I don't get paid enough for this.
and people have been saying that math and science in the US is horrible for my entire life. If this is true why should I trust these studies? They are performed by the same slackers who couldn't handle math or science 10-15 years ago.
Balmer: What's your name? Gates: FUCK YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!! And your name is "you're wanting." And you can't play in a man's game. You can't close them. (at a near whisper) And you go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life! Get them to sign on the line which is dotted! You hear me, you fucking faggots? (Gates flips over a blackboard which has two sets of letters on it: ABC, and AIDA.) Gates: A-B-C. A-always, B-be, C-closing. Always be closing! Always be closing!! A-I-D-A. Attention, interest, decision, action. Attention -- do I have your attention? Interest -- are you interested? I know you are because it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks! Decision -- have you made your decision for Christ?!! And action. A-I-D-A; get out there!! You got the prospects comin' in; you think they came in to get out of the rain? Guy doesn't walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. Sitting out there waiting to give you their money! Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? What's the problem pal? You. Balmer. Balmer: You're such a hero, you're so rich. Why you coming down here and waste your time on a bunch of bums? (Gates sits and takes off his gold watch) Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch? Balmer: Yeah. Gates: That watch cost more than your car. I made $970,000,000 last year. How much you make? You see, pal, that's who I am. And you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you -- go home and play with your kids!! You wanna work here? Close!! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this -- how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?! You don't like it -- leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you got, make myself fifty thousand dollars! Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can you? Go and do likewise! A-I-D-A!! Get mad! You sons of bitches! Get mad!! You know what it takes to sell software? (He pulls something out of his briefcase) Gates: It takes brass balls to sell software.
It is the job of the intellectual to sit around and think up stuff. It is the job of the scientists to tell the intellectuals that they are either full of shit or right on. It is the job of the revolutionary to change the world. If you consider yourself one of they above but do the job of one of the others you are doing the rest of us a disservice. Scientists should never be intellectuals and logic and intellect are not comparable.
My job as a gadfly is to tell everyone they are full of shit. Which makes me idealy suited to post on slashdot.

I've never seen a more putrid cesspool of thoughtless idiocy.
I guess you haven't watched a presidential debate before. You sir are in a real treat.

They will be taught multiculturalism
That's because...are you ready for this? Leopard and Vista are the same OS. just mungified to keep it a secret.
I think the board would be pleased is the Google brothers bought it in a plane crash.
Humantity does what works and booze, drugs, and whores work...
I am all for the UN doing this type of work as protecting human rights, solving political problems, or preventing genocide is not their forte.
Dupe Dupe
Not all muslims are terrorists but most terrorists are muslims. Well atleast the current crop.
Hey!
Just like all muslims are not terrorists not all muslims are goat humpers...but I do beleive that goat humping is an initiation ritual for would be terrorists as humping a dog or pig is forbidden.
Troll?
To me this seems to be a logical thing to do until the execs can remove there heads from their rectum.
Now instead of telling my boss that our issue has been escalated to level 2 support I can say "I won't have an answer until Elm0 in #L1nuxd00dz recovers from his caffine induced tirade about how LISP is more elegant that PERL".
ordered them to duel. That way we can start solving another problem.

They taste like crackers of course
As the former executive in charge of goat hearding I cannot comment due to the NDA I signed when I was layed off.
I find that when the government owes me money they don't care if I file or not. But, when I owe them it's a different story.
Try Cuba, the weather is nice, great cigars, and beautiful women. It really is a nice place...well...except for that one guy.
