With constant inflation, I'm pretty sure at some point the $5, $10, $20, etc bills will also stop making economic sense, which is kinda ridiculous. Maybe this is a transitional thing on the way to digital currency? Or people are thinking that with the population starting to level off that constant inflation will be less important?
Native Texan, here. I don't support Secession by any means, but at least read the petition before you label us all as racists.
The summary doesn't make any mention of Obama or Race, and is instead about things like the NDAA, the TSA, the Patriot Act, etc. While I doubt it would have appeared (and gotten nearly so many votes) had Romney won the election, I think the vast majority of Slashdotters would actually agree with most of the listed grievances (whether or not one thinks the stated motivations are the only ones).
Don't worry, I got this.
I should have been clearer. I meant that I was agreeing with you, and the "Awkward" thing was supposed to be ironic.
I voted Third Party so I don't really care too much either way on these results, hence was the smiley face.
Yeah, I just did
Awkward...

One guy ran into trouble, since he had just moved to a different county and wasn't in their system. He still had a lease on an apartment, so he was planning on trying to edge his way into a booth by responding to "Have you moved recently" with "I have an apartment across the street".
Erp, let me clarify that I'm considering getting the Surface Pro. No backwards compatibility basically kills the ARM for me.
I've considered getting a tablet in the past, but found it hard to justify having in addition to my gaming/dev desktop, my laptop, and my phone. The laptop is getting long in the tooth, but I'm not really sure that an iPad or Android Tablet can fully replace it for things like work and traditional games (aka stuff from Good Old Games) while I'm traveling.
The Surface seems like it might actually be a good replacement for my laptop, while scratching my tablet itch. Plus, I'm kinda excited by the idea that I could write personal-use Tablet Apps on a Tablet
Of course, this is all contingent on good reviews, and maybe a decent alternative to the flimsy keyboard/cover.
