That is not true.

One-in-Five Adults and One-in-Three Under Age 30 Have No Religious Affiliation. This kind of stuff are the death-throes of religious conservatism. As the more normal people leave formalized religion, the crazies are left behind. Without a moderating influence, they get even crazier than before.

Most cases all the user wants from a progress bar is an indication that progress is being made. The trick is to make sure that it really does indicate progress and isn't something like an hourglass cursor that just runs on a timer independent of work happening in the background - e.g. if the network is hung the progress indicator better hang too.

Pick ONE verse, not an entire chapter and quote it.

No it won't - because everyone you have to deal with using that name will specifically remember you because you have a famous name but aren't that person.

No YOU haven't read them. About 6-7 years whenever a nutbag like you showed up on slashdot I engaged. I read the links they posted and then I went and googled on my own. Every single time there was more to the story. Evil people like you selectively quote and deliberartely ignore contradicting evidence.

I applied thorough research and critical thinking and none of your fellow dhimmi-wannabes' claims could stand up to that. NONE. How do you think I know what a dhimmi is suppossed to be? This ain't my first rodeo. But after a year of seeing nothing but idiocy from guys like you, I learned my lesson - you are all just idiots.

Look, I'll make you a deal. You pick ONE verse from the Quran that you think proves the absolute evil of Islam. Something that you think is indisputable. If I can't tear it down, I'll concede - the mooslims really are evil. But if I am able to show that there is more to the story, that the verse has context that you are ignoring, or that you've picked a misleading translation, something like that then you shut the fuck up about islam forever. Deal?

Yeah? What strawmen are those? You are the one telling muslims that their religion is evil.

Holy crap! You think THAT is what I was talking about? I am the one who said "black" - not you. You are so ignorant of the world you live in that you don't even recognize the oldest bigotry-denial trope in the book.

If you can't even maintain mental coherency while reading just one sentence, why would you expect people to believe even a single word you say? If numbnuts like you are the best we have to fight this evil mooslim conspiracy, then the war is already over.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. More only good muslim is a non-muslim bullshit. I'm sure all the muslims in the world are over-joyed that you and your dhimmi-wannabe buddies are here to tell them that if they aren't wild-eyed killers, then they aren't real muslims.

Since Kosher is just dietary all that extra scope doesn't really apply when making a comparison.

Exactly. It is far easier to hide in a crowd of a million than yourself in an empty field.

Anyone considering getting a fake id in real life should pick from the most common first and family names (there are name frequency lists you can google for) - John Smith really is super common but it is almost a cliche. If you go with something like Tom Johnson you will still be in the company of hundreds of thousands of other Tom Johnsons and not seem quite so fake.

I'm less worried about my reputation and more worried about people looking for ways to leverage inadvertantly disclosed information about me to their own advantage. If your are lucky the best you can expect is to control some of what google shows on the first page of search results under your name. That's only good for the most casual of searchers - anyone actively looking for dirt on you will go far past that first page of hits.

With respect to reputation if you do suddenly get famous enough to be "in the news" google is going to put that stuff right up there at as the first hits anyway because any news site is going to have a much higher page rank than your piddly facebook page -- seen that happen to a couple of friends already.

I'm not racist, some of my best friends are black.

Same old hate the sin, love the sinner bullshit. The only good muslim is one who isn't muslim. You loons are all the same.

Yeah, those 100mbps ethernet cards are really 100megabaudpersec!!!

(1) There were no arrests for attempted terrorism at the superbowl
(2) There were no terrorist attacks anywhere else in the weeks before or after

So, no, the security didn't "work" - there was nothing to stop. In the absence of a real threat, the security should have stopped anybody like these kids.

And to make network interfaces and cpu frequencies look faster than they actually are too!!!
