stonewallred, I have something hugely disappointing to share with you. The baby Jesus in and of Himself is not all that special.

Now, the Baby Jesus in rainbow short-shorts and on roller-skates... that sorta shit would save Vegas in a time of famine.

Yeah, fine. That doesn't go far these days.

I have evidence that the CIA intentionally left evidence of potential CIA malfeasance in Switzerland for Swiss investigators to find.

Wanna do another go-round? Maybe this time you can (wo)man up and post non-anon?

Sorry, point is, talk about them here.

My understanding is that anyone that posts here is already being monitored. That isn't to say you are elevated in any way. /. showed up specifically in at least one DHS report, but is not listed in the last schedule I saw on a leak site. Maybe just a different department. Don't know.

Hmmm.. DHS head is suddenly abroad and discussing the future of international aviation. Too Big To Fail is meeting Who Will Stop The Rain.

Pervert and a Prude. Come on 'spewey, you can't go making too many distinctions with a nick like that. At a certain level it all spews, man - it all spews.

They arm instead.

The mods are d3d. Where is the modern movement for intelligent deconstruction? The above is +5 funny. I'm tired of playing sonar in this pond.

I post without my karma bonus for a reason. I know I don't belong at +2 to start. That being said, the mindlessness gets to me and some days I do want to be a jerk.

A post that includes something like this is trash:

It does not bother me that it gets modded up, but don't people see this bias is being applied to all of humanity by all sides. Bring up any topic - Islam, Evolution, Global Warming - and otherwise well spoken people start talking like they couldn't think their way out of a paper bag.

Take the Bible literally? You mean like believing that there have been many tribes since recorded history began, and will be many tribes until the end? Or did you mean interpreting the words literally?

At least in the U.S. most content fundies basically boil the Book down to "We will, We will rock you." They are simply noisier than the others... which the Book suggests we should allow them to be. Look up flagellation.

Two different things, the form and the content, you know?

I'm out, all I have is this shrubbery. In fact, I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may, in fact, be a shrubber - given how often I find myself be-shrubbed.

I don't know about that. I'm not an over-clocker, but my C-64 SX, Amiga 2000, and my grandmother's 8086 on which she wrote her life story all still boot. Computers Pentium era and later I have had fail for all sorts of reasons - and I am not including any sort of storage failure - that is a different issue.

I'm betting the problem is just the integrated aspect of everything. My mother's expensive laptop had everything and the kitchen sink on-board - and then the wireless stopped powering up or something... Doorstop despite the fact that it has more computing power than all my fossils combined.

Anyhow, I'll check my museum pieces again in 2-3 years. Worst problem so far was actual storage media failing - but the net provides and I found the images on-line along with replacement media.
