So basically, all EOL systems that have no business being connected to a network except for 2003, which also shouldn't be connected unless it has SP2 and all security patches.

North Korea is least affected, due to their "Don't let anyone have computers, well they don't have electricity anyway" security policy.

You have quite a selective memory.

In attempts to clarify that a little more, we found out we should not compliment a woman on her appearance or perfume, and that statements like "I like your earrings" were very dangerous.

Great. Now you'll have people from the transgender community suing your for your sexual harassment program.

The gap would have been much smaller in 1992, when the fuel in the Metro didn't contain 10% ethanol. My 2004 Olds doesn't hit its EPA rated MPG even on highway trips with little traffic and no stops now-- the engine runs perfectly but gets 1-2 MPG fewer.

I don't know whether the new EPA rating methods take this into account. Note that for the Metro, there's a link for "view original EPA MPG". it says 47, although I do believe there was a model year when it was rated for 49.

As far as Amtrak losing money on food service, despite it becoming a right-wing meme that this true, it's dubious at best.

It's not a truthiness issue-- they really do lose money on food service. You contradicted yourself later in your own post! I understand that food service may have long been a "loss leader" in the industry, but the fact is THEY LOSE MONEY ON FOOD SERVICE.

Diesel fuel tax is higher than gasoline.

Clearly, Amtrak is racist for requiring photo ID.

Modding something "funny" means you think it's funny. Just my outdated view.

The science is undebatable.

And that's a political statement.

Frankly, this is an incredibly misogynist move.

It says, "we can't create any strong female superheroes, so we'll just change the sex of one." It's really just like Supergirl or Batgirl, which were pretty much wannabes of the "real" superheroes, as opposed to female Green Lanterns or even a female Robin where it's more about the values and principles of the uniform. For example, a female Iron (wo)Man would make far more sense (alternate universes aside).

Maybe you could take advantage of his map-reading "skills" to have him transferred to the Unexploded Munitions Survey instead. I'm sure he'll make a big bang there.

If another world war did occur, and people did grow victory gardens, Congress would be able to tell you what you could grow in it, tax it, etc. because the Supreme Court said it could affect interstate commerce.

I am befuddled. This is the dumbest AC post I have ever seen modded up. You mean to tell me there are three Slashdotters who believe that there are no good restaurants in all of the USA, to the extent that it makes for a good joke? 320 million people, thousands of great chefs, cities renowned for cuisine like NY, LA, and Chicago, and we're all McDonalds? I thought the ignorant, outdated "American piss beer" comments were bad, but this is ridiculous and disgusting.

Unlike Dubya, people forget that Kennedy and Johnson were Democrats, responsible for starting the war, and pretending that bloodthirsty war-hawks are confined to the GOP.
