Slashdot is an AmeriKKKan site, that's why you can speak freely. If it were an Australian site you wouldn't be able to say "globalize the intafada."

Try that on any of your country's sites. I dare you. I double dare you.

AmeriKKKan freedom doesn't come from any government. It comes from God. The Constitution merely states that the government may not infringe on this God-given right.

What you have isn't freedom. It's loose handcuffs. I suggest China instead of Japan, it will be good when you become a province later this century.

After all, you told the AmeriKKKans to fuck right off with their Navy ships and disbanded your air force as a useless expense. Zai Jian!

You can talk to a clerk, but the clerk doesn't appear to be able (willing?) to forward the message. That was true for several different clerks.

Good! Stay out! We don't want you. AmeriKKKa is closed tell all your friends not to come, too. We suck and hate freedom.

Your freedom of speech to shit on AMeriKKKa was brought to you by the Constitution in and the First Amendment. In Australia people can't even speak out against Jews without being arrested. Good example you set.

Wait, I am confused. Are you talking about spotify or the hackers?

Yes. There essentially wasn't any feedback mechanism.

I'm reminded of ancient Egypt, where each new Pharoah's first order of business was to destroy the monuments created by (and for) his predecessor, and then to start building new ones by (and for) himself. Have we reached that level of narcissism?

The word you're thinking of is "terrorists" (i.e. people who employ terror as a political tactic).

"Extremists" simply means people whose views lie at the extreme end of a range of views on an issue.

Sometimes terrorists are also extremists, and sometimes extremists are also terrorists, but they are nevertheless two different words with different meanings.

Do these scraper guys qualify as extremists? I don't know -- their position on copyright law seems to be that it can and should be ignored. Is that the most extreme position one can have on that issue?

There was a recent episode of NCIS where someone did this on purpose for stock trading purposes.

The US has a smaller slice of a larger pie, for a net gain.

That is, it is better to have 30% of a Watermelon then it is to have 60% of an Orange, because the Watermelon is more than twice as big as an Orange.

In the US, McDonalds and similar are deemed restaurants. I am sure there is a lot there is lot of elasticity in fast-food restaurants that market themselves on price. For restaurants that are even a little up-market, the elasticity is probably much lower.

And it's often the fault of the local businesses. If I want to buy "unsalted mixed nuts", my local store doesn't carry them any more. (It used to, but it stopped.) So now I buy them on Amazon.

2) People with brain damage
3) People that work for VISA
4) People that are stupider than people with both Brain Damage and Alzheimers.

If I am heading home and I want to stop and buy food, I buy food that is already made from a restaurant.
