.. add that to a little sulfur and some ground charcoal briquettes and you also get something that can go BOOM

Potato vodka definitely effects my tolerance to stupid people

Most people don't want to know, and some shouldn't even be told if the Earth was about to be obliterated by a comet or very large asteroid.
But you can rest assured, sooner or later something will come at us and impact the planet. It's happened before, it'll happen again

Funny seeing the subject of gut bacteria in a /. forum.
Just last week I was reading an article on the Mercola.com site, link here:

Gut bacteria has much more to do with overall health in general that most people think.
Weight loss being linked to having all the right bacteria in the gut is also a bonus

Political discussion is an activity for fools. It's like arguing which brand of anal lube or who's servant of satan is better.
Personally, I prefer the ostrich approach and find my world a much better place than that of those pissing and moaning over a world barreling down the rails, out of control, and no one competent at the wheel. Life is good!

Your country's system make too good of sense and sounds fair for all. This is totally unacceptable in the USA and will not be tolerated.
Please list your country's name in the form below and the USA will schedule the next bombing run in your area.

Open source drivers suck big time
This is why we have proprietary drivers on open source systems, specifically Nvidia.
The other card in my box is an ATI. ATI's proprietary driver is an absolute joke.

On topic, I have FF4 x86_64 running on Debian Squeeze x86_64.
Very impressive how much faster it is over the iceweasel offering that's packaged with Debian systems

Of course parent doesn't have anything substantial to support his opinion.
This is slashdot, where opinions bear more credibility than point-of-fact

I'm from the government and I'm here to help ..

There is an even easier way to do just that
Give two people a bag of candy, one a liberal & the other a conservative
put them both into a room full of children
the liberal will gladly give their candy away to the children & the conservative will take the candy away from the little ones and hoard as much as they can get

Don't forget John McCain and his 'little blue pill'
just what I needed, a visual of an old man with a boner

I don't know about you, but my 401k is comprised of stock market investments. I know most are. How the hell is Obama trying to steal the stock market? Come on, get real ..

The controlling puppet masters of the tea party ARE bankers, and yes, they did indeed take bail out money, it was a fire sale authored by baby bush & co. Two faced double speak is the problem. They, the tea party, rely on most supporters not checking facts and/or researching what and who they are. Most supporters are nothing but dimwitted imbeciles

This is not MY mistake. Our elected scum have been courting their corporate donors for years. What I oppose is any and all private corporate involvement anywhere in our local, state & federal systems. The tea party will be just more of the same, just a new set of faces, SSDD.

I don't have any answers except maybe to just get it over with, unleash all the nukes, wipe out most continents and start over from scratch .. we're all fucked!

You linked to a right wing paranoia/opinion site. Get your foil hat on. There is nothing resembling any truth there to see. Move along ..

Well, I for one have issues with the thought of some banker pilfering my social security retirement.
As we have seen in recent years, corporations cannot self govern. When we deregulate and give them more rope to operate freely, more often than not they hang themselves and the rest of us when we have to bail them out.

Giving the tea party power will put the most wealthy into political power. Scenes like the great economic crash and resulting bailout of 2009 will become business as usual.

We can then have wealthy kings and noblemen, and very poor over taxed peasants without much in between, instead of the democracy that America was intended to be. Now doesn't that sound like fun?

Yay, the tea party will restore scenes from the dark ages of europe, I can't wait.
