Bad for business?

Imagine thousands of accounts doing the same thing then slashdot = stagnated.

Anyway why do you cower? what are you afraid of?

Wait a minute... ;)

Even when the post is coherent and clear, half the time the people replying don't seem to be able to read and understand it correctly either :).

Back to room sized computers :).

I have an old Nokia dumbphone. I should probably upgrade to a smart phone but meanwhile I'm wondering whether my phone will last longer than Nokia (the company) ;).

Fixed that for you.

When you have a violent revolution, the odds are the person or group willing AND capable of exerting the most violence will rise to the top. Once they rise to the top, they are unlikely to give up their power or hold democratic elections. At which point who in the country can kick them out? They already have proven to be capable of the most violence.

And that's why Communist revolutions end up as dictatorships - the Communist Manifesto has violence as part of the implementation plan. When the process of selecting your leaders is not by votes but by violence what do you expect? Once in a while you may get a benevolent dictator, but generally you have to wait for the Dictator's children or grandchildren's generation for things to start changing for the better.

Shot in a known nonlethal way. Bah. Many sociopaths would do that if it means they get what they want.

Here's how to really be commander-in-chief, risk your life on the line and lead the soldiers out to battle in spirit:

That would make even sociopaths think harder before telling others to put life and limb on the line. When you send soldiers to war you're not sending them to be shot in nonlethal parts of their bodies.

So what? If enough computers meet the requirements then it's fine in my book. After all my computer requires electricity to work.

In fact if it's cross platform on multiple browsers it's better in some ways than those intros/demos that only ran on one specific platform (I won't be surprised if some of those were even fussier and wouldn't work on some variants of the same platform).

Easy for you to say, Coward. In some places it's common to beat the confession out of suspects, sometimes to death.

Even in supposedly more civilized places, the innocent often get coerced to pleading guilty: http://www.innocenceproject.org/Content/When_the_Innocent_Plead_Guilty.php

Then they fail to get the class credits?
