good, fuck mom and pop store owners who rape you in the ass with high prices. as long as anyone is free to open a competing store, it's fine.

all the snobby fucktards who think they are too good to shop at wal-mart can't be as clever as they think they are if they are paying more just to avoid a wal-mart.

couldn't have said it better myself. the only thing i'd add is 99% of these "idea's men" have terrible poorly thought out idea's to begin with anyway, much like a lot of the code out there.

the only reason ASSange is doing it this way is to extend his moment in the spot light. how do we even know the information he is releasing is real? I refuse, unlike many of you, to take off my skeptic's hat just because it's wikileaks.

you missed the

if you own a business and your wealthy from it, you've already paid a shit load more in tax personally and in company tax then was needed to cover your share of social expenses like schools.

i personally pay enough income tax to cover 2 people's social security and medical annually, so anyone claiming i'm not pulling my weight can go fuck themselves.

banksy is a fucking idiot. south korea is an affluent nation with all the mod cons you or i have. making 1/3 the US salary doesn't mean shit, it's not an apples for apples comparison. but go right ahead don't let facts get in the way of your blind hate and ignorance.

like the internet? what seems pointless to you can end up changing the world.

way to fail hard. WWII had the enemy attacking all the way to Australia. definately not a regional conflict.

you seem to miss the fact the US and it' allies outclass it's enemies..... because of nukes.

When did slashdot lose it's way so badly that outright wrong information like this makes the front page?

this site has lost the right to call MS on the FUD they do spread, because slashdot is guilty of as much, if not worse FUD of it's own.

And people wonder why global warming isn't being taken seriously by the people that matter....

... for news that happened last week that even main stream media consider "old"

no wonder linux nerds learn heaps - linux fonts are the smallest worst defined fonts in the computing world.

you pretend to be a news site when really your just a den of linux loving commies.

your 1/2 right, while inhaling anything airborne isn't good for you, fibrous material such as crocidolite is exceptionally bad. a single large exposure won't usually result in cancer and there is always background levels of fibrous present naturally.

I work around the stuff all the time in my profession, and i can't help but laugh as the hysteria the media beats up about it.

they are UK based, why do they care about being on a US watch list? your all missing the main point there though - Assange LOVES this shit. now he gets to go on TV and claim the US government fears his awesome powers and blab about how he's the victim of some plot he invented in his own mind.

the guy had to wait 15 minutes at Australian customs once because his passport only had 6 months left on it, and he screamed to the world that he had been "detained" and intimidated.

the bottom line on wikileaks is that they release material when it's illegal to release it. all well and good i'm not judging whether they should or not, but are they so retarded that they think the US government won't take any action when he is violating the law in their country?
