retarded mods = american mods?

go on, do you're worst, I'm already a "troll" apparently...

the last time we cringed in terror at another country as a pretext for invasion, it turned out they were guilty of a lot less than we originally conjectured.

I thought you were about to say: the last time we cringed in terror at another country as a pretext for invasion, it turned out they were guilty of a lot less than we were.

We sacrifice inessential liberties for safety all the time. We are required to get our cars registered and inspected (in some states), our buildings inspected, and our restaurants must conform to code. All of these things restrict our freedom, but also help to keep us safe and healthy.

We need to protect the rights of the majority from; a dodgey car running them over, a dodgey building collapsing on them, some dodgey food poisoning them. Those examples don't restrict any freedoms, they are about protecting them... (@_@)

NICE TO MEET YOU, I would really love to continue reading TFA, but why don't you sign up at this website. I would feel safer RTFA'ing with you there. My username is hot_forIT69underscore

Skynet reads all...

I like this way of looking at it... and the fact that there are very few people posting on here with such an insight proves how well trained most of us are in conforming.

TechFragments is a comment counter.

Remember the Olympic opening ceremonies in Beijing? The "great ships" part of that performance ended with one man holding up a compass -- and following it. That was the whole point of that part of the ceremonies!

yeah fair enough, but what was the whole point of that bit with the fake fireworks? what did that symbolise?

goog call :)

because often starting from the ground up liberates you from cruft and is often the case with technology, it becomes much easier, faster, cheaper and yielding of better results. For example: Mac OS X

Yep, I mean I'm in Australia so we are a bit behind seeing what's going on right now in the states, but a lot of the new work I have been picking up is with bigger clients who are now scared, wanting to reduce their budget and are therefore looking at smaller, independent development.

yep, and I am still a troll 5 years later apparently...

score 4 INTERESTING????

Australia does not have a bill of rights, we do not have the freedom of speech.
