and one of those updates offered to me is 10.9

don't mind the ass-hat trolls

wait, a Beowulf cluster of Natalie Portman?

Brilliant!

if only they had remembered the hot grits...

oh, if I only had a nickel for every time I was told that...

Just to quote wikipedia:

In e-mail and newsgroup usage, another type of signature exists which is independent of one's language. Users can set one or more lines of custom text known as a signature block to be automatically appended to their messages. This text usually includes a name, contact information, and sometimes quotations and ASCII art. A shortened form of a signature block, only including one's name, often with some distinguishing prefix, can be used to simply indicate the end of a post or response. Some web sites also allow graphics to be used. Note, however, that this type of signature is not related to electronic signatures or digital signatures, which are more technical in nature and not directly understandable by humans

I did not "insist on a privacy invading Log-in"
I just think that it's kind of fucked up to post a slur on the entire slashdot user base as an anonymous coward.
But you, I give you credit for at least not being anonymous.
I have no love for Facebook. I have no dog in this fight.
And I can't help but notice that you have given up your privacy, number 574257.

Tough talk from an anonymous coward...

I believe they call it the Patriot act.
It has been a decade or more since you(we) had any "constitutional" rights.
you know terror, thinking of the children, ect.
I think that the real crime has happened at a much higher level than the mouth breathers at customs.

and the pay.
don't forget the pay.
$20,000 a year. Ouch.
That will help you pay for that degree...

no, it says that 2 of these would be perfect for the job.
the job is keeping 3 poor people out of your building.

bad news for Google, who was hoping that I would buy such a thing.

and good governments don't enshrine and worship the likes of Ronald Reagan.

$250,000 is chump change to a political campaign. Just the Email list with it was worth far more.
Wikipedia says of the campaign,"By April 2012, the campaign had raised more than $38 million."
that's without "RP.com" think of what they could have made with it.

If they make a movie about it it's not THAT unusual anymore...

Mom? is that you?
