Comment Not Getting It (Score 1) 117

First, the "beach bums" invented surfing as you know it.
Santa Cruz seems more organic than many of the neighboring cities. It's more family-like. Yes, there are poor people there; but many of them are creative and artsy.

The relationship between "pot smoking" and counter-productivity is bullshit. Forget your stupid antiquated corporate policies, because drugs may in-fact fuel some of the creativity in this area. Even Apple would not have been where they are without some drug use. This is the land of Aspies, and some of us are screwed together just a little too tight to be creative programmers and engineers, yes--without drugs.

In the end, the initiative just looks like an attempt for companies to exploit Santa Cruz's cheaper land, meanwhile, there are so many empty buildings in San Jose and up the peninsula.

Comment Democracy in the United States has Died! (Score 3, Interesting) 331

Of all the things I have seen the US do to its own people,this is one of the most appalling! The United States cannot function without the oversight of its people. The people who did this should be arrested and charged with treason, but that is indeed the problem in the first place. Those few people who systematically worked to undermine the spirit of the US Constitution and The Bill of Rights, are now scared. They know that they must try to fight not to lose their power over us.They know that if they lose, they might go to prison, and I hope with every fiber of my being that the do lose their power, that they do go to prison. No citizen is safe, no freedom cannot exist in the climate they dare to make for us. Please stop them. Please help do something if it is only what each one of you can. Help in your own way, but please help.

Comment Guild Wars 2 Happened (Score 2) 523

I feel that WoW lost a lot of customers to Guild Wars 2. Over 2 million people bought GW2. It seems reasonable that some of them had to have quit WoW.

Lately, Arenanet (Guildwars maker) has been tormenting its players at the endgame, reducing Tier 6 drops, implementing: if you can see it, you are already dead champions (adversaries), such as the Champion Raiths in Orr, so people will probably make an exodus for Guild Wars 2, someday, too.

Submission + - Transsexual Accused of Trolling for Expressing Opinion about Transsexuals

BrendaEM writes: In a recent Slashdot post about end Futurama, I expressed an option that I thought that Futurama was Transphobic in its depiction of Transsexual/Transsexual people. Personally, I felt hurt for what I saw in the series, and when I expressed my opinion, my post was voted down to -1. Well, I am a transsexual person. Being involved in a transsexual support group for more than 10 years, as well as periphery to several other TS/TG gives me a decent familiarity with some of the issues concerning transsexual people. I feel that either the way transsexual/transgender people are/were represented in Futurama were stereotyped, as well as derogatory. I also feel bad that so few people saw it, but when you watch the series again, I ask you to count the references, and you will find them.

Comment No, the internet lost. (Score 1) 317

I should think that if the internet won, the powers that be would have interviewed Craft for the bombing. The major networks made no mention of the black bag similarity, at all, or the fact that Reditt was DOS'ed, or that entire threads went missing on Reddit and had to be reposted.

Innocent until proven guilty, is our country motto. If these people aren't guilty, they truly are as their uncle's states, "losers."

What bothers me: what if they did not do it? What facility, what process do we have to stand against panic, fear, and retribution? What checks and balances are in place to stand against those who make money, who need terrorists to exit, in our world?

Given one of them is dead, I hope they are guilty, but if they are not, we still have a terrorist on the lose.
