Perhaps it was the typo that is causing you to not be able to find the original quote.
Yup. Corrected quote (still without a source):
Dogs think they're humans. Cats think they're God.

I miss the old slashdot.
You know, you don't have to use beta.
Do judges have the power to ostracize American citizens from their own country's capital city?!??
As a condition of bail? Yes, I think so. See other posts here.
There's a difference between being fired and laid off (just ask your local unemployment office).
AFAIK, the unemployment office treats fired and laid off the same way. What they might treat differently is a voluntary resignation. The resignation would have to be truly voluntary, i.e., you were not forced to resign in some way, otherwise it would be the same as being fired.

I bought a dog the other day...I named him Stay. It's fun to call him..."Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just ignores me and keeps typing. -- Steve Wright
My neighbours named their dog Karma. What an awesome name for a female dog.
Duh. They should have called her Dogma.

I got the joke. I just didn't laugh.
From the GNU Hurd Wiki page:
It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

2060: the year of the GNU Hurd desktop?
This is the same things muslims say. "Muslims don't commit crime. He isn't a muslim if he committed crime".
This is the same thing Christians say. "Christians don't commit crime. He isn't a Christian if he committed a crime."
This is the same thing Jews say. "Jews don't commit crime. He isn't a Jew if he committed a crime."
This is the same thing Hindus say. "Hindus don't commit crime. He isn't a Hindu if he committed a crime."
This is the same thing Buddhists say. "Buddhists don't commit crime. He isn't a Buddhist if he committed a crime."
This is the same thing Sikhs say. "Sikhs don't commit crime. He isn't a Sikh if he committed a crime."
This is the same thing Humanists say. "Humanists don't commit crime. He isn't a Humanist if he committed a crime."
This is the same thing Atheists say. "Atheists don't commit crime. He isn't an Atheist if he committed a crime."

Seriously, the "true Scotsman" defense has been invoked by many groups, not just Muslims. And I think they may be entitled to do so. Our ideals of behavior, expressed in many philosophies, are not necessarily followed consistently by all of their adherents.
The internet is not a broadcast medium.
This.
But alas, turning the internet into a broadcast medium is exactly what ISPs want to do.
I hope that someday net neutrality also means bandwidth into your home equals bandwidth out of it. Check your service: we don't live in that world today.
The issue is not open and unfettered internet vs. evil corporate control. It is one set of bureaucrats and corporations against another set of bureaucrats and corporations. Just because they use the words "net neutrality" doesn't mean there is anything neutrality related involved. Remember, the same national politicians got together to give us the Republic-led bipartisan "USA PATRIOT Act", which had absolutely nothing to do with patriotism.
False equivalence. Just because the Patriot Act was newspeak doesn't mean Net Neutrality is.
"free and open internet" as we knew it is not an option on the table. The discussion at hand is about how much power Washington will have to pick winners and losers in corporate fights. And who in Washington will wield that power.
Net Neutrality is not about giving Washington the power to pick winners and losers. It's about keeping that power out of the hands of service-providers.
Oh, and a few new fees and tacked-on unrelated regulations "just because".

The launch was scrubbed due to attached-anvil clouds and lightning risk.
For the curious, attached-anvil clouds are also known as cumulonimbus clouds.
Weather doesn't want to cooperate. Anvil clouds within 10 miles of launch site.
Tune in tomorrow for next attempt.
Next lift-off attempt is tomorrow at around 4:10 PM EDT, if I heard correctly.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
