Comment Re:I guess it was worth it then... (Score 5, Funny) 136

"I used to deal with guys like you every day and not only could you not remember that you gave me permission to call you - you asked me to. "

Think about it. You spent your day... you made your living... virtually barging in on people who don't know you, who for the most part don't want to talk to you, and who get "all twitchy" because they can't remember if they ticked off an opt-out box or not.

You were, in other words, a professional asshole.

I am once again struck by how correct Orwell was when in 1984, state agencies had names which meant the exact opposite of what they actually did.

In this case, the National Security Agency in fact makes a practice of delivering not security to the citizenry, but violations of their personal privacy.

This may have all begun when the name of the War Department was changed to the Defense Department... just when overseas actions were really beginning to ramp up.

What crash? There will be no crash, just a steady devolving and regression. Every civilization has it's rise, glory and decline and fall, and we're witnessing the fall. As in the Roman fall, it will take generations. But happen it will.

We'll become more and more like Greece, which now has a 77% unemployment rate for those between 20 and 24 years old.

Where is the "Pork Fat" there? I tell you where it's not... it's not out whoring so they can eat that day.

If it makes your miserable life any more tolerable, keep hoping and dream "the man" gets what's coming to him.

He probably won't. You, however, being much more closer to the edge, most likely will.

As a country, we're doomed. "66% Believe Obama Administration 'Right' to Analyze and Collect Internet Data"

The American electorate is, by and large, comprised of jealous, vengeful, stupid, greedy, immoral jackasses... a fact that is endlessly exploited by demagogues such as Obama. The founders of our country never wanted a "democracy" but instead a republic, and this is the reason.

"They" may ignore them. Neutral observers, though, notice that you have done nothing but make groundless, usually emotion-driven accusations with absolutely no facts to back them up, and when called out on them you go off to pout, or resort to call people something "contards" or something equally as juvenile.

Now that the administration actually has scandals worth reporting on, it's like the boy crying wolf over at Fox. What are they going to do, use 45-pt headlines instead of 38-pt they were using for Solyndra?

They don't have to. I did not read about this on Fox news, and I doubt you did either. Other news agencies have taken the story and run with it.

If it's news, and nerds find it interesting and read it, does it not therefore qualify as news for nerds? Maybe whoever put it up understood what nerds like to read about.

Personally, I love NYC and am fascinated by Bloomberg. This is the only thing on Slashdot I have read today.

Should I turn in my nerd card because I wanted to read about NYC and not Linux this morning?

You completely ignore the fact that these guns are undetectable using magnetometers and this creation of guns will, in the near future, be easily accomplished by pretty much everyone. I'm not sure why... it is a key factor in the debate.

The average person is a dullard.

If it were up to the average person in the 1700's, we'd still be British subjects. The average person was fine with British rule, and it was a bunch of "extremists" who wanted to revolt.

There is a reason the founders of this country did not want a "democracy" but rather a "republic". That reason is, the electorate is, by and large, composed of fucktards.
