The blatant crypto racism is exhibited in most of these posts... Guess what, your reaction is what proves the racism, not your quasi logical statements explaining your reaction...

No one bother to read the opposing views, or the reason why this was brought it.. just an immediate.. " Those women and brownies always want to be included... reverse racism"

To quote a SPEAKER that realized this after the fact

Oh.. that changes the picture... doesn't it?

This whole "the world isnt racist anymore so just get over it" is a bunch of BULLSHIT. It's been barely a generation in most areas.. heck, we have people in the south holding to grudges and behaviors 6-9 generations deep. But someone, racist behaviour is supposed to be completely expunged in one generation, and well, any mention of it just shows reverse racism... bleh.. most of the above posters disgust me.

I grew up on a farm, we never had to wear helmets even when on the motor bikes, I mostly wore one seeing it was bought for me, I never had a serious accident and nothing that a helmet would have protected me against.

Eventually I moved to the city and ended up riding through northern and central Sydney. I was always quite conservative and always wore a helmet and a UV vest. Mainly wore a helmet to avoid the fine of not wearing one.

I made a dash through a an amber light, the bus driver coming the other way turning right didn't see me and clipped me. I went down pretty quick. I remember thinking this is really going to suck slamming my head into the road... Oh the sweet, sweet feeling of having your head slam into the ground wearing a helmet. There is no better feeling in the world!!! I then jumped up, got off the road and started patting things down to see what was broken/bleeding. A slightly grazed cheek, knee and hand, no concussion and back riding to work in 10 mins. Someone saw it all, chased down the bus and we exchanged details, hence why it took 10 mins to go back riding.

I really like our mandatory helmet laws. I don't care so much for our our healthcare and compulsory third party car insurance... yet

Oh nice.. another ( i'm hollier than though morality ) comment

I can keep going. :)

go with your BS somewhere else..

I couldn't agree more. The current economic system isn't ready for what will ( not would ) happen when the service and manufacturing industries are fully automated. ( which is my main gripe against free market types )

Extra Extra.. Google Now Evil (tm)... So much for that ;)

Tell that to O.J. Simpson... he's in jail for trying to steal back his own stuff ;)

"uh... HELL NO!!!!"

You are not zapping my #@&$ with sperm death ray!

The iphone still rules the "total experience dept". Even after trying two android phones, I came back running.

FP?

Not just that but think about it for a second
- carried out repairs to the Millennium Falcon, did he have a electrical engineering degree?
- respected by a 900 year old jedi

Surely this makes Chewy equal to or of high intelligence then a Genius.

Sure communication skills are lacking but I've met humans who are unable to put sentence together as well as Chewy could.

He also had the solution, "use a bigger hammer" or "hit it harder" down pat which has helped me out numerous times!

How does search technology have anything to do with browser wars? ( well, directly )

MS has its own browser
Google has its own browser
Yahoo doesn't

Those are the three big search engines, and they only choices to generate revenue like they do know, as a homepage destination.

Out of their possible viable partners, Yahoo is the only one that is not a direct competitor.

Google, with its all gooey-dooey not do evil mantra, has become a bigger competitor, and likely a conflct of interest, to the Mozilla foundation. Kinda like they did to Apple..

Come. The. Freak. On. !!

Why does google get to charge this? They get the kickback FROM the carrier, so have the carrier do the ETF.

Why does the carrier AND google, get to charge fees? Not even the iPhone, a phone that carries a higher retail value without a plan, do such a high termination fee.

It seems google can do no wrong on slashdot. It can have the cake, the party, eat the cake, and snuff the party goers, and all is well in slashdot-google-fanboy land.

Come on guys.
