No matter who wins this debate, or the election, Americans have lost.

You can blame Fox and BuzzFeed all you want. But the simple and ultimate fact is they are only giving the people what they want to see. If there wasn't a demand for it, Fox wouldn't be broadcasting it and BuzzFeed wouldn't be posting it. In America, "if it bleeds, it leads".

As far as TV news in general goes, there hasn't been a decent newscast in America since Walter Cronkite retired. And yes, I'm that damned old :(

Look at the positive side...at least it isn't hanging around Uranus.

I'd just like to say that Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf's mother wears combat boots in the shower.

She did what she was accused of. She lied about it in a court room, to both a jury and a judge. She got caught in her lies. She got whacked for lying. And once again, all the fanbois come crying for her.

I'm saving my sympathy for someone who is innocent of what they were falsely accused of by the RIAA or MPAA. Not some dumb whore who was trying to game the system after she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Maybe her and Tenenbaum can start a new political party...they can call it the Itty Bitty Pity Party.

You can use your iPad when you are the pilot and are qualified to make flight-specific safety evaluations.

If he was innocent and had "fought the good fight", I would support Stupidbaum all I could. As it is, not only did he actually do what his accusers claimed, he lied about it in court. He got what he deserved. I bet next time he won't listen to relatives that obviously got their law degrees from a bubblegum machine.

One would think that geeks like those on Slashdot would support those unjustly prosecuted (and persecuted). Instead, they mostly back lying thieving guilty idiots like Stupidbaum and Jamie Dumbitch. And then the community cries and whines when the idiots get slammed by the court.

Hell will freeze over...multiple times...before anyone at the RNC votes any way other than how they are told to vote. And I'd say the same thing about the DNC also.

Its obvious from reading the comments on this story that a lot of you all think this means Ron Paul is in favor of a free and open internet, and has come out in favor of net neutrality. You all obviously don't know Ron Paul. For him, and his son, "internet freedom" means businesses on the internet are free to do as they please, capitalism rules, and net neutrality will die a quick death.

I'm already pledged to Tappa Keg Aday :)

>>The measure is intended to curb violent crime in Venezuela, where 78% of homicides are linked to firearms

That may be what they say, but I'm sure the reality is they don't want citizens to be able to have armed revolts against the Venezuelan government.

I give my old but still useable equipment that I no longer want to others who need it. I don't cry, but I do tend to tell it what a good piece of hardware its been while I pack it up, and ask it to not be mad at me for giving it away.

And sadly, no, this isn't a joke. And it probably is why I don't have a girlfriend.

And I'll continue to rip my legitimately purchased DVDs and Blu-Rays to my hard drive, removing this (and all other) forced content and previews. And the MPAA and FBI, and ilk like them, can shove their heads up their asses. If I want to play my discs in my toaster oven I will do so, and I don't give even one single flying fuck what they think about it.

The only real issue I would have with what he did is the part where he fiddled with the switch in the wall. He does not own the building, and I doubt he's a certified electrician. If something electrical went wrong in his room, the insurance people would have a field day with that, whether his wiring caused the issue or not. And if the electrical problem caused injuries, many lawyers would become involved. If I were the school, I'd inquire over that too.

Other than that, it's a cool room...although a bit small for partying :)

I realize this quote is way overused these days, but its worth repeating here. Ol' Ben Franklin said it best..."Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
