Dang kids.
Let's talk Sarah Palin since this is turning into a very serious thread.
Actually, doesn't that mean it isn't a serious thread?
Anarchists rallies?
Right - C'mon Anarchists lets get organized!! Meeting at 2:00pm Today! Bring your calendars and a copy of Robert's Rules... first order of business, elect a parlamentarian and draft some by-laws.
Because we Anarchists believe in.... wait just a minute... oh yeah.
Its a little slow for me. Sorry.
It's a kdawson story. In order to have 'dropped the ball' you have to 'be on the ball' in the first place. Geeze.
There is no integrity here. It's a Kdawson post.
How does this go on and on and on with these terrible misleading summaries etc. out of him?
Nice. New bacteria. I don't have time to go look it up, but somebody else might... I'm under the impression that the whole process of breaking down hydrocarbons eventually leads to a drastic increase in ammonia and related compounds, and severe oxygen depletion. Even (especially?) biological processes. Somebody once posted a nice short progression of the basic chemistry involved in a similar topic here on
Ain't nothin' free. Break it down? It has to break down into something...
I think that's quite enough already. And if anyone wants to go about dangling their participles, they might get snipped off.
Did anyone else RTFA and notice that the original author concedes that 'The extra hour of light from daylight savings time won't burn the crops, but this might.' ??
WTF? So - people freaked out over this new doom also accept that daylight savings time creates an extra hour of daylight. But that's ok - that won't burn the crops. 24 hours of daylight might.
*sigh*.
I think I'm going to become a Nigerian Prince in need of your assistance...
For me, this post and summary is an all time low for Slashdot.
Maybe if the summary had said "check out how stupid this is..."
Geeze. C'mon. What if somebody has their abdomen opened up and puts an entire laptop in there? What's the difference?
In case it hasn't been said yet.
Tits or GTFO.
The digital letdown was when many of the top ideas generated by the process were to legalize marijuana, solve tax issues and to reinvestigate Obama's birth origins.
So, in other words, they didn't get the answers they wanted to hear. What a "letdown."
Fast forward to February 6 and the same process has been repeated with individual federal agencies as the subject. This time the idea generation has been much more productive, with ideas such as
And "productive" means now they are.
Perhaps it means the "birther" issue early on was conclusively and logically resolved beyond the doubt of all but the most ardent, hardened, rabid, nut-job conspiracy theorists. And that the marijuana issue is already a well known issue, and is incrementally making good progress towards legalization at the moment. Both issues old stuff, with only a tiny fraction of the most tenatious loud mouths beating the drum about them.
There is always the internet phenom of the crazies shouting the loudest and longest. Just because somebody shouts louder and longer than anyone else doesn't make the ideas they shout any better. Neither does using all caps, bold face font, exclamation points, etc. etc. In fact the fringe usually just cause other people to go somewhere else with their ideas, thus doing a good job of regulating themselves by alienation.
Original article and related web sites being a case in point.
This doesn't mean people don't have a right to think and say what they want. It does mean that 'let down' results tend to get ignored, while more 'productive ideas' get attention.
No really, he is new here.
