It's irony, dudelet. RTFM. See? It's dumb, and it's on Slashdot so smart people can laugh at it.
10 years and you haven't figured out that Slashdot jumped the snark long ago?
Snark has been a Slashdot feature since day one.
Heh.
In fact, for the cost of an unlocked iPhone I could buy an HTC Android phone and a
Yeah!
Whatever. Somehow I doubt that the black market resale value of the HTC Android phone I bought from Virgin for $149 is anywhere near the black market resale value of an iPhone.
We weren't talking about a paywall for Slashdot, but about the New York Times and possibly the Washington Post, which is reportedly *considering* a paywall.
Most middle or working class occupations are suffering from *declining* pay. Holding steady is good these days. And think of all the people who were making $50K or $75K a few years ago and are now working for $10/hour or less.
Here, I'll help:

Count your blessings!
I *have* had several heart attacks and am in poor health. Mostly retired, just doing a little part-time work for Slashdot and a few others.
Am I supposed to call you an insensitive clod now? Nah. Too trite.
Seriously, in 2010 I had a heart attack, got stents put in, and 5 hours after I got out of the hospital I had congestive heart failure and died. Got resuscitated, but all the tubes the EMS guys stuck down my throat left me with more rasp than voice.

I don't use hearing aids but I'm dependent on eyeglasses. Bifocals in my strong prescription start at $140 from chain "discount" opticians that advertise on TV, around $120 from a couple of local chains that tout themselves as bargain eyeglass purveyors, and cost me less than $40 from an online optical dispensary -- which does NOT charge me extra for 60/40 (far/near vision percentages), while the local opticians do.
Post the MF'ing transcript if you want us to consume the wisdom, please. We're in a hurry out here.
The transcript is posted and was all along. You may need new glasses.
What about a marijuana or hash gun? If you made one, would the 2nd amendment cover it and its ammunition? Would the NRA pay for your defense if some socialist commie marxist Obama-appointed judge tried to pry your Ganjagun(tm) from your warm, live hands?
GANJAGUNS FOR AMERICA!!!
The link to Vimeo didn't do it for you?
Americans go to Paris in droves, which are a type of small dog-pulled cart. Around 5 million tourists (that's a lot of droves) visit Versailles each year. The dowdy English main palace, Westminster, gets fewer than 2 million, and that's with a royal family living there. Face it: the French have more style than the English, along with world-famous prostitutes, and have never invaded the United States and burned our Capitol. There's also French kissing. Which do you want: English kisses or French kisses? Thought so!
But that company's lawyers can and do reproduce, to the detriment of all humanity:

That's Cee Lo Green's cat.
Come to think of it, Cee Lo Green is a pretty good Bond villain name, too.
I'm happy to say, "You're right." Makes you feel better and costs me nothing.
However, please realize that if you had said that you couldn't see SS1 leading to SS2/Virgin Galactic, I wouldn't have argued with you then, either.
