Which is which? Generally the people against abortion are anti-life and pro-baby-killing. They just like to do it after birth, preferably to people of other nationalities or different economic status. The people who believe in freedom are usually against killing babies and killing in general.
Being poor often means being malnourished. Being malnourished leads to various things like not growing to your potential including your brain. Also going to school hungry everyday is going to be a much different experience then being well fed.
As soon as average Joe gets voted in, he's joined the elite and his decisions will reflect that. Especially due to the fringe benefits, lots of hookers and coke. Unluckily I don't think there is a solution as no matter what the people in charge are going to feel that they are the elite and govern accordingly.
Canada has outlawed corporate campaign donations and severely limited personal campaign donations. Hasn't helped, we still have politicians who feel that corporations are more important then pretty well anything else and create laws reflecting this.

Bullshit, if MSFT could raise their prices they already would. Same with most corporations especially ones in kind of a monopoly (oligopoly) situation. Same as when you lower their taxes, it just goes to extra profit rather then the savings being passed on. I see this locally with gas. I live just outside an area that has an extra 10 cents a litre tax for transit. Locally the price of gas is usually just a couple of cents cheaper even though the cost is 10 cents cheaper. As most people seem happy with the couple of cents savings why would the oil companies lower it any more?
While you are right about NT sharing a lot in common with VMS, you're wrong about Windows NT first booting up on non-x86. I have a Byte magazine with the news article (probably an MS press release) around here somewhere about OS/2 NT ver 3 booting up to cmd.exe, forget the actual CPU but it wasn't a common one. The name change probably happened not long after, still NT kept the OS/2 ver 1.x look and feel until ver 4 with the progman and fileman interfaces. Win 3.x also used the same interface and the interface was written by MS. BTW, the kernel and loader names are also very similar to the OS/2 versions.
Also if your monitor is not correctly detected. Also there is no easy way to enter your monitors settings if auto-detection doesn't work, even the X.org conf file is broken in this respect with the latest Ubuntu.
Have you looked at the X.org conf file on the latest Ubuntu? It is pretty well empty with some comments. Makes it a bitch to edit even for someone who has spent lots of time editing X conf files but not in the last half dozen years. Shit when I installed the latest Ubuntu there wasn't even an easy way to connect to the Internet with a modem. You're left having to edit a chat script etc in/etc/ppp and doing su pon just to download Midnight Commander so you can navigate around to find where they've hidden the X.org conf file this week. Not user friendly for the insignificant part of the population who doesn't have access to broadband.
If X.org doesn't automatically recognize your monitor your stuck in 640x480 (actually the latest allowed 800x600) mode so after editing the X.org conf file you flounder around since all, excepting the latest, the Ubuntu releases I've used didn't allow you to drag the screen resolutions dialog above the top of the screen.
I've gone through this too. The latest Ubuntu is the first one where ALT-F7 allowed me to move the screen resolution dialog up high enough to see the OK button. Every other Ubuntu I've tried has had this flaw. This is made worse here as Ubuntu has never recognized my monitor and doesn't have an easy way to enter the monitor settings. At that with the latest even the X.ORG configuration file was empty and it took quite a few tries to get my monitor settings right. Still after all these years I never knew about the ALT-drag thing, I always went for the standard ALT-F7 to move a window.
This is probably an advantage of living in socialist Canada. The insurance companies are probably better regulated then other places like south of the border. They do have to worry about the government moving in with their own insurance company, perhaps as a monopoly.
Interesting how people from other places groups North America as the USA. Most of North America is not the USA, Canada is bigger and there is also Mexico and various other Central American countries. Just because the people from the States are weird, please don't group the rest of us in with them.
Well if rents were increasing like they were around here ($1000 for a little basement suite, $2000 for the top floor) buying might look cheap. I'm lucky where I live and have a good deal, if I had to move I'd be fucked as the vacancy rate is close to 0% and what there is is very picky and expensive. Meanwhile mortgages were almost being given away and with housing going up 10-20% a year you only had to make it for a year or two.
What I don't understand is why food and fuel isn't included in inflation. I'm not rich, supporting a wife and son and most of my money goes to food and fuel. While my government (Canada) claims that inflation is actually negative, I go to the grocery store and everything seems to be up. A bag of potatoes is close to $10, a can of beans is close to a dollar, last week it was actually cheaper to buy (a cheap cut of) steak then hamburger. Gas keeps going up in price and I need to drive to make money. Housing has gotten ridiculous. I was talking to someone and she was bitching that her house that she bought new a couple of years ago for $350,000 has dropped in value from $750,000 to $685,000. This is just an ordinary house on an ordinary lot 35 miles out of the big city.
Well when the telco's were crown corporations things were much better. This experiment with privatization has been a massive failure. The private companies have found that it is cheaper to lobby for laws/regulations that create profits that is much more profitable then giving better service. There are quite a few businesses that are better ran as nationalized businesses then private business.
Government owned the telco and built the infrastructure out. Free enterprise people get into power, announce that private industry is always more efficient and by giving away our BC Tel prices will drop, service will improve etc. Now private industry owns the infrastructure and lobbies away their competition as it is cheaper then competing on merits. I dream of having a good enough phone line to hit 28.8 Kbps or even half of that upstream.
Actually here in BC the infrastructure was built by BC Tel, a government owned telco. Then some free enterprisers got into power and announced that private industry is way more efficient and basically gave the company away to their friends. Now we see how much more efficient private industry is at lobbying away their competition. I think they are making a pretty good profit from me. Close to $30 a month for a 26.6 Kbps internet connection. $30 a month for the phone line. $9 a month for call display (my wife is a bit paranoid and likes to know who is calling) $5 a month for not making enough long distance calls. And no bundles as they all include high speed and as I'm 30 miles from Vancouver... The gas companies also gouge. Just west of us they have a 10 cent a litre transit levy on their gas, here we don't so the gas is 3 cents cheaper. That's 7 cents extra profit a litre
America has always been a place where you had to be careful about criticizing those in power. During the revolution if you criticized the revolution you could expect anything from tar and feathering to your property taken through a letter of attainment. After the constitution was implemented you had things like the Alien and Sedition acts. During the civil war Lincoln had quite the secret police who totally disregarded the rights of dissenters. During the first world war people were thrown in prison for protesting the draft (supreme court likened it to yelling fire in a theater) Then you had the first red scare, the second world war, the second red scare where you got blacklisted for your believes, the reign of Hoover who had no respect for rights and so on.
And what is wrong with posting from an OS/2 machine? This is posted with Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090914 Minefield/3.7a1pre. Of course Flash is ran with Odin which is basically Wine ported to OS/2.
How much of that $700 Million was made from concerts, TV appearances, product placement and selling Beatles music? He also probably had a relatively good music contract so got a larger proportion of the price of his CDs compared to most musicians.
Sounds like you don't use Windows and install older software or older Windows and newer software. My son is running Win2k, the hassles he has to go through to run older software and newer software that has no dependencies on newer versions of Windows. The whole thing is just broken unless you are running current binaries on current Windows (and current Windows still includes 8 yr old XP). Often he just retreats to rebooting to Ubuntu and running under Wine.

Actually that is a Canadian robotic arm.
