  1. Re:What a funny anti-China piece on Chinese Police Get Power To Inspect ISPs (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    Did I miss in the summary where it compared China to the US? Or do you feel like as long as a country does something the US did, it should not be reported?

    Apple owns ISPs in China?

    Come on... Just a tad bit jaded, right?

  6. And how does this help coordinate raids? lol

  7. Agreed. That said, I still go for the 720p downloads.

    So we are pushing for more waste?

    Why print something out that will likely be used once?

    You realize that our productivity rises are do to technological advances, not actually people working 50% harder.

    Yeah, I'd say most of Texas outside of some of the major cities.

    In fact, in San Antonio 30,000 is enough for a single person to get by comfortably. (May not at the comfort level a lot of the higher middle class that a lot of Slashdot users live at.)

    I was making $46 thousand and was the sole provider for my family of 4. Cooking your own meals and not going out for lunch makes a huge difference in a budget.

    Doing something like this across the board makes no sense since so many locations have completely different costs of living.

    Some areas, this will be so over paid that it will cause prices to rise as other companies start having to match the wages.

    In other areas, 15 is not even close to meeting a living wage that it will do nothing to help.

    I got happy for a minute.

    There were pretty good babylon 5 reviews on http://www.geocities.com/jenof.... But it doesn't look like his made the archive cut.

    His Buffy and Angel reviews are pretty good. I remember checking each day after a new episode to see if his review was up.

  14. I'll give you my list :)

    Go enjoy your free coffee.

  15. It just seems like a lot of effort for something that I doubt people even look at.

    Well, these and the racist and sex jokes make it harder and harder for me to risk using this site at work. Work wise, that is probably a good thing. I'd really hate a coworker to come up to me and see those comments and assume without actually talking with me.

  16. Is cost what determines if something is discriminatory?

    Can I rent a dorm room at a public college campus without being a student?

  17. I'm just curious if people get paid to manually post this stuff or if there is some program that is systematically posting these.

    I guess the more people read a statement the less outlandish it seems and eventually just normal.

  18. That's only fair if they take the free coffee.

    It's interesting but not surprising how they let the teacher's opt out.

  19. I give my nemesis' name and work number

  20. I agree but I'd rather have a warm cup of coffee over a caffeine pill any day. Heck, I'd probably use a cup of coffee to help swallow that pill like I do for my other meds.

  21. I don't know if it's anymore discriminatory than Costco selling only to Costco members.

    So the lawnmower won't cut the lawn when it is 96-100 degrees? And that is assuming all animals have the same body temperature as humans.

  24. I know. We should be able to accuse anyone of anything and destroy their lives! It's up to the accused to prove they didn't do anything if they want to have a clear name.

    You people are insane.
