Don't worry - I'm sure feminists are pushing to widen the definition of rape so far it'll include having sex without getting written permission signed in triplicate beforehand and approved by a lawyer.

The term is so widely abused now its almost meaningless and does a disservice to women who have suffered real rape - not just had a change of mind the next morning after the beer goggles wore off and the guy wasn't as hot as they thought.

Art is a pastime like knitting or stamp collecting, not a fundamental part of an education to operate in the 21st century.

Hey, are you trying to confuse people with the truth?? You can knock that off right this minute my friend or we'll send the right-on thought police around!

Quite. Though its more than an agenda now - its an entire industry where offense is deliberately being taken in order to manufacture grievances.

Nice rewrite of what actually happened there but lets not let facts get in the way of your standard issue feminist argument.

Jobs was never a programmer and Woz was involved in computers and electronics long before they met.

Most stolen cars are shipped off in containers to countries where no one gives a shit. Its not like they're driven through a port. Ditto parts.

It might be regulations, but I doubt the manufacturers are too cut up about having to supply their own service personal, equipment and parts at a high price to solve these problems.

In europe things went the opposite way , with cars anyway. The EU mandated anyone must be able to interrogate the ECU, clone a keyless fob and service the vehicle via the ODBC2 port. Which is fine, except that now any thief with some cheap equipment can break into keyless cars, clone a key fob within a minute and drive away with it.

Do you think navy ships are still powered by sails or something? FFS.

"What do we need a large navy for now?"

If you think the threat from russia has gone you're kidding youself.

Err, the batteries or super capacitors are probably charged up before each shot then discharge during it, so most of the time they'll do very little if you hit them with a shell.

However successive UK governments have seen "improving" the navy as meaning strip it of as many ships as it can. Soon it'll consist of 2 men and a rowing boat. Oh, and one overpriced aircraft carrier with no planes that can fly from it.

POssibly the moon is formed from 2 bodies colliding and before it could completely settle down into a round shape it froze with that ridge remaining?

Seriously, that guy has been shouting at the pigeons for years. And I speak as an open source user and advocate.

How typical of slashdot - pick and choose responses to suit your own point and dismiss the ones you don't agree with. You've got to laugh :o)
