Is that what we're currently getting? Then hell yes.

Are you saying 1000 spam and 100 worthwhile things is worse than 100* spam and 10 worthwhile things?

*because no filtering will ever be perfect

Yeah, we're capitalists here--where we take your money away and then eloquently explain how you didn't deserve it in the first place because you're poor.

So much better than just taking your money just because (fascism) or taking your money while telling you it's for the greater good (communism). At least with the last, there's a philosophical argument involved rather than just "I want yours."

I was under the impression that if Byzantium couldn't stand up to an invader, probably nobody else who was around at the time would have been able to do much better...

When I hear you guys across the pond say stuff like this, I wonder whether your politicians are crazier or if you're just more eloquent in saying "I hate those other guys."

I guess we can just fire everybody at NASA and stop teaching astronomy in schools, then. Because itzly says there's nothing out there.

The arrogance.

First step to getting somebody on another planet so a single Extinction-Level Event doesn't come along and wipe out humanity.

I can't believe I'm practically the only one who can figure this out whenever this topic keeps popping up.

How long is the statute of limitations on rape in Sweden?

Yeah, I know it's a crass question...and presumably even if he hits that point they (the U.S.) will still manage to grab him somehow.

He doesn't need to be innocent for it to be a convenient situation for those who want to extradite him.

He can be both guilty of rape, and not deserving of what they'll do to him when they finally get him into the U.S.

The power of choice whether to accept systemd into our hearts, or to stop using Linux entirely.

Maybe it's not at that point yet, but it sounds like they're trying their darnedest to get there.

I think "us sycophants'" argument is that it has been this way for quite awhile now, and we're in fact passing the peak of the parabola.

Irreverent or irrelevant? Methinks the latter.

In a few more releases, it won't matter anymore because Firefox will *be* Chrome anyway.

Since basically their entire reason for existence is "we're like Google but not evil," yeah.

Or I suppose you could use some other search engine but that's just a rounding error.

Speaking of weird popups, I still don't understand why the hell that IE one exists.

I see you've got add-ons installed! Do you want to disable those?

_ Yes
_ No but keep annoying me about it every time I open the browser
_ Ha ha I bet you expected a "never ask me again" option here

So just move down the list. Jeez.
