They have very good reason to fear big government, history has shown over and over and over again that big government is very bad.

The only thing worse than a lawyer is a law student, they think they can use the courts for anything.
The only thing worse than a lawyer is a small-minded person who believes himself capable of creating factual generalizations about a diverse group of people. Oh, and fuck you for trying it.

Soft landings for former legislators, lobbyists disguised as regulators, hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber sitting unused, the sham that is the internet provider free market is keeping the US in a telecommunications third-world.
What, exactly, can American citizens do about it?"

That's not the test.
The test is the blatant copying of the iPhone the moment it was released.
Samsung is simply a copycat fast follower. They produce nothing but copies of other people's work. In plastic, without taste, and without quality.

The video coincidentally happens to feature Apple. Nothing in this judge's history indicates any bias IN FAVOR of Apple.
The fact is, the slavish copying of other people's products is Samsung's business model.
Refrigerators, televisions, phones, any appliance that can be replicated will be.

An unsubstantiated claim about an unannounced product that may or may not include functionality relative to recent biometric hires is adequate to begin a flamefest.
I love watching idiots argue about nothing they are privy to.

Exactly.
The statement "because we're a community and we want to take everyone with us" grossly misses the point. Sit down, knock it off, and serve the community.
Slashdot is a community engaged around content.
Save the cornea-assaulting web design to sites whose users think it's cool.
Keep it up and there won't be anyone to "take with" you.

Granted, it takes cash to run sites like these, but they were fine before. The question is, do some of you here want to band together, get whatever is available of slashcode and rebuild this community somewhere else? We can try to make it as it once was, a haven of geeky knowledge and frosty piss, delivered free of charge in a clean community moderated format."
