Can we stop with the ReiserFS jokes already? The meme has been beaten to death.

I wore Orion on my belt, which will be the style at the time.
That makes you a cat and means we should ignore you just on general principles.
True story, my sister, who is much more a trekkie than me, took her little girl to a convention. The little one got all excited on seeing a phaser on display, then was greatly disappointed after picking it up and discovering that it was not operational.
Well obviously it would have to be a non-functioning phaser. In the State of California it is illegal to put dangerous weapons in places where children can reach them.
Probably more to do with smokers slacking off outside taking a smoke break three or four times a day for 15 minutes to indulge in their stupid habit while everyone else is still working.
What the hell did I ever do to you?

Most SSDs Now Under a Dollar Per Gigabyte
So does that mean a 1 TB drive is $1000 or $1024?
Well said - however, what is freedom of speech when the masses are kept in the dark? Distract them with entertainment & irrelevant issues so they don't see what's really going on - that's the tactic of the Roman government with its citizens.
That's irrelevant. I can only guarantee my own freedoms and to some extent those of my neighbors. If 95% of the country wants to be ruled by the 'elite' 545 ruling members of the United States Government, I can't do anything to help them. In fact, voting for, and following those people makes them complicit in their own destruction. For when have we ever voted ourselves more freedom?
I'm an American too - but Americans only have the illusion of free speech.
It's not an illusion. Do you think if I said something similar to what I said above in China or Iran that I'd still be here chatting with you?
let me ask you, of all the talk of Osama bin Laden that was happening, how many major American news sources actually played the videos or showed the transcripts of bin Laden's addresses to the American people? There are so many examples of this. Americans are only told that they have freedom, freedom of speech, etc., so they believe it.
I'd venture to say that none of the 'name brand' news sources played it. They're just as corrupt as the government and probably in their pocket as well. The press are supposed to be 'the fourth estate' of government, but that hasn't been true for a long time--just as we are supposed to be a constitutional republic where the government obeys the 'rule of law'.
The big question now is what are 'the citizens' going to do about it?
balance free speech with legal and ethical concerns
Thankfully I live in a country (America) where we don't have to worry about political bullshit like that. The constitution protects popular AND unpopular speech regardless of any made up legal or ethical 'concerns'.
IT Contractors, How's Your Health Insurance?
Uh...I'm a *contractor*, therefore I'm in charge of my *own* insurance.
Also, thanks to the idiotic Obamacare/Romneycare system I don't need insurance. I can drink myself stupid, smoke 3 packs per day, eat terrible food and when it comes time to pay the piper for my poor choices, everyone else will 'share' the bill...
"duuuude" in 3... 2... 1...
At least we're getting back on topic now. So you're getting a Dell?
If you think the system is working, ask someone who's waiting for a prompt.
